VALUE OF aUET PLAYING.
Especially Adapted to MOrbid1y Sensitive
Pupi1s-Improvemen on the Old Style.

Especially Adapted to MOrbidly Sensitive
Pupi1s-Improveraents on the Old Style.
The full value of duet playing has not
yet been appreciated by the majority of
teachers To say nothing of the mani
fold expressions of musical beauty to be
gained, the effect of self poise is not to
be overlooked. Many teachers engaged
in turning out all sorts and conditions
of soloists could get practical advantage
from this point. Every class has quota
of morbidly sensitive pupils, who gen
orally prove intractab1e on their first
appearance before the public and fail
dismally, doing the pedagogue's reputa
ton no good.
Much irritation could have been avoid
ed and more justice done the scholar if
a we'll chosen duet had been the subject
of the debut. The pupil would have lost
a goodly part of his self consciousness,
for the aptitude to shift the blame to
the other fellow is strong in humanity,
and the audioece would have received a
measure of qualification. At this point
it may be remarked that duet playing is
more generally appreciated by any audi
ence than the solo performances of half
fedged pianists.
Another fact to be noticed is the truth
that ensemble playing improves the
sense Of rhythm. The attenuated rubatos
so characteristic Of amateurs can be in a
degree reformed and brought within
proper bounds, according to the atten-
ton paid in this regard. The quality Of
music should also be thought Of Old
style duets, in which the primo had all
the music and the secondo player beat
out monotonous accomplishments in a
beer hall style, are no longer considered
artistic. Works should be selected in
which each part has a we'll defined indi-
viduality, and such works can be found.
A writer in The Etude, and authority
for the foregoing. explains that there
are also may four hand arrangements of
chamber compositions, scenes from
operas, ETC., falling within the scope of
medium grade players. While there are
many good duets in the easier grades,
there should be more. Modern compos-
ers are SHINING in this respect, and es-
pecia1ly those familiar with the han
ding of orchestral material.

In the first place, select young and
tender chicken, cut it up as if for fricas-
see and season each piece with salt and
pepper and dredge it very lightly with
-four. Melt 2 tablespoonfuls of butter in
hot frying pan and lay in pieces of
chicken enough to cover the bottom.
Cover the chicken and let it fry until it
is a rich golden brown on one side. It
will take 5 or minutes or even longer.
Then turn it, add more butter if neces-
sary, and let the chicken fry on the
other side When the chicken is cooked,
lay it in a low, somewhat pyramidal,
heap on hot platter and stir heaping
spoonful of -four in the butter left in
the frying pan. Add 2 cups of rich milk
or cream to the frying pan and when it
bOils up strain this sauce into sauce
pan in which a tablespoonful of minced
parsley has been put. Let the sauce boil
up once more and turn it around the
chicken on the platter or serve it in
boat with the chicken. The latter is the
old fashioned way of serving cream
sauce and fried chicken and in some
ways the most satisfactory.

MORE ELECTRICITY is COMING IN.
Franchise Granted the Central Cali

Reports Filed With the Supervisors
Conditions of the Various Funds
of the County.

Yesterday was the date set by the SUI
pervisors for opening bids for the fran
chise for erecting electric wire poles along
the county road between the city limits
and the Placer County line near Ante
lope. But one bid was received, that OF
the Central California Electric Light and
Power Company the North Yuba Canal
Company. The sum bid was nominal.
DR.. Van Norden, manager for the COM
pany, was present, and explained TO the
board that his company was DESTROYS OF
going ahead and completing its line from
Newcastle to this city for the transmits
sion of electricity for light and power
purposes. 1t was assumed that the coun-
ty and the city would be so largely bone
flied by the introduction of the electricity
that anything more than nominal bid
of 50 could not be expected.
The board passed an ordinance grant
ing the franchise to the Central Califor-
MIA Company, and the Road Committee
was instructed to see that the poles are
properly set along the line of the road.
The ordinance was directed TO be pub
lished in the Record Union.
County Assessor Berkey came before
the board and asked that he be allowed
as the additional personal tax. The en-
tire sum to be collected is less than S., 900,

M UN N
Wins His Fight.
Old Fashioned Doctors and Their
Horrible Nauseating
Drugs
Knocked Out!
Sacramento People Show Their
Appreciation of Professor Nun
yOn's Honest Methods and De-
mand His Remedies and Will
Take No Substitutes.

1t is simply wonderful, said Munyon' 5
representative, to watch the growth of
the public's confidence in our new
method of treating disease. About five
years ago we began our first free dis
tribution of Munyon's remedies. At
that time very few persons in the
United States had ever heard the name
before; but his honest, frank and fearless
letter to the press demanding d public in
vestigation of his claims opened theic
eyes to the fact that there was at least
one medical company in the world who
had the honest conviction Of the value
of their remedies, and believed thai
they had discovered positive cures for
disease, and over 100000 people have
called at the various newspaper Offices
in the principal cities to test his liberal
offer of free distribution.
The distribution just ended brought
over 5000 people, who now know that
Professor Munyon's remedies cannot be
surpassed or their curative qualities
equaled Where can you find parallel
to this wonderful confidence of the puo-
lie in MunyOn?
Curiosity may have prompted some,
and others may have thought there was
something behind the liberal offer.
Most, no doubt, doubling the existence
of remedies that were guaranteed to
cure 30 per cent. of those who tried
them, but when they found that Pro-
fessor Munyon was in earnest, accepted
their free sample and left with the de-
termination to give the remedy fair
test. What is the result so far? les
timonials are coming in from all sides
reporting the wonderful cures effected,
and Munyon's New School of Medi-
cine is the topic of conversation in
Sacramento.
What better proof can one ask of the
efficacy of these little pellets? Ad-
vertising, no doubt, has brought them
to the notice of the California public,
but the sole reason of their enormous
success is that they do cure disease and
are just what is claimed for them-the
triumph of modern medical science.
