CHANGING PlANlsTs.
An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.

An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.
"As interesting rs anything I've seen
In this town." said visitor to the city,
"was change of pianists that saw in
q variety theater. There was a man on
the stage singing a song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to the
left once, and looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle a
man that judged must be the relief pi-
anist, and go he was. imagined that
he would sit down for moment and
wait, but, dear me, was very slow.
"He was approaching the piano at the
bass end of the keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. By this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys, and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily to the right, now relinquished to him,
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
'There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist tho treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for frac-
ton of a second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat. and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds to his resolute
touch.
''In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never WAS minute
when the men We're not completely mas
ters of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until lie was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con-
tinuously in motion, but the change was
made without jar or slur in the mu
sic and without the omission of note"

Poultry IN Texas.

The south, and Texas in particular,
offers an inviting field to poultrymen.
A Texan in The Poultry journal says
In climate we have much the advantage
of the north and east. On farm fowls
do well the year round with little shell
ter or feed. This statement should be
qualified by the remark that during a
Texas 'norther" or Kansas blizzard
they need both, but severe cold does not
come more than three or four times in a
year and seldom lasts more than three
days. The temperature seldom falls be-
low 20 above zero. Sometimes where
fowls are exposed to the severest weather
combs will freeze and egg production
will be checked for few days. but if
the farmer has not comfortable house
for his fowls he usually hustles them
into his barn or under his house until
the weather moderates, in which cas-,
the cold does no harm.
In this climate during three-fourths of
the year tree is more healthful for
fowls than close house, but the ideal
home for them is house walled ON the
north and west and latticed Oh the south
and east exposures. Such a house will
afford sufficient protection and ventila
ton the year round. Curtains should be
provided for the latticed sides during the
coldest weather. AS we frequently do
not have a dozen real rainy days in
year, the only shelter needed in day
time is protection from the sun; hence
what income Texas fowls bring the
farmer is almost clear profit, his chief
labor being TO gather and market the
eggs The drawback heretofore to poul-
.ry raising in Texas has been a lack Of
access TO markets, but conditions are
now changed. as towns have sprung up
and railroads been built.
Much attention has Of late been given
10 improving the dunghill fowls by mat
ing with thoroughbred males, while la
many cases the dupgbill has given place

Capoul, the French tenor, was the re-
cipient of volumes of letters from lady
admirers both here and in Paris. On the
English stage, besides Mr.. Irving, Mr..
Alexander, Mr.. Hare and Mr.. Bancroft
have been overwhelmed with goodly
number. But am told by one who
knows that no actor living ever received
such number of admiring epistles from
the fairer sex as the late John Clayton.
Among actresses Mrs. Bancroft has
perhaps been. treated to the kindliest at
tentions. Mrs. John Wood. too, on the
first or last night of her play had always
her dressing room converted into per-
feet bower of flowers, and little gifts of
jewelry literally poured in upon her.
There was enc bangle with the inscrip-
ton "Bless your art" Whether it was
Mrs. Woods heart or art that was blessed
