Though the stage is not consid-
cred the best vehicle of moral reform,
Milton Mobiles shows will help to in
cline the scales to that side. His
fun is pure and suffers no deteriora-
tion thereby. OF course we believe
American humor is the choicest in
the world, and consider English
jokes as stupid as they consider ours
obtuse. Mobiles humor is of the
Mark Twain stripe, and consequently
is representative American humor.
There is no ribaldry about it, no sug-
gestion of indecency to bring a
blush to the cheek of innocence
He dispenses with high kicking act
resses, as he does with coarse jokes,
and yet he keeps up continual rip
pie of laughter, and its tone is health
full, clevatlng and intellectual. Mil
ton Mobiles is therefore an ornament
to the American stage. His remark
able successes indicate an apprecia-
tion of the refined on the part of the
American people, which cannot but

PlCTuRING A SEA FIGHT.

How instantaneous Photography Figures

Instantaneous photography has made
il easy to-day for men with little lznowl-
edge of seamanship to place ships and
boats under sail in picture, but in
early days, says Temple Bar, the power
of doing so correctly was limited to
few men like Stanfeld and Capt. Beechy,

The difficulty of obtaining anything
like a reliable description of a sea fight,
even from those who had taken part in
it, was, according to Stan1ield, very
great, and he told us how, when plan
ming his picture of THE Battle of Ira
falgar," he applied to Capt. Hardy for
advice as to the position of the Victory,
Hardy's answer being that, owing to
the smoke, it was impossible during
the height of the action to see beyond
the ships alongside, adding: Il am
about the worst man you could come to,

Hints to Pianists.


ii. A. Kelso, of Handel Hall. Chicago
presents a new theory of piano playing
based upon principles of anatomy. .physi-
ology, acoustics and psychology, and in
an exhaustive article which he has pub
llshed on the subject undertakes to show
how piano playing may be reduced to a
scientific basis. He advises the study Of
anatomy, that the teacher may learn to
develop a good piano hand of physi-
ology that we may learn the fundamental
causes which operate in velocity playing.
We learn, he says, to avoid and success
fully treat weeping sinews and musi-
clans cramp. BY the understanding and
application of the laws governing muscle
,innervation we learn to control and hus-
band the potent force termed nervous
energy. Misdirected nerve energy causes
physical disease and disorders natures
internal arrangements; sickness is the re-
suit. Misdirected nerve energy makes
sickly piano players and unhealthy music
is the result. Extracts from his article
follow:
Better modes Of developing the power
of memOrizing and of preserving untouch-
ed the pupils individuality, are the re-
suit Of psychological study. That we
should study acoustics ''goes without say

Feminine Fancies i'm Gloves.

For walking, travelling and general
outing wear. four hook or button gloves
are correct in glace or pique kid, the
latter being heavier than the usual
dressed kid. These are in tan, brown
and gray shades. Chamois gloves in
white are very stylish for wear with
cotton or pique costumes. and as they
wash and clean easily are not expen-
sive. Black gloves are we'll favored in
Paris with light toilettes trimmed in

ed with mourning gowns, or with even
ing gowns Of black and some brilliant
contrast. White and ficelle, very pale

ing colors for full dress, with pearl

White glace and suede gloves in four
hooks or buttons, plain or stitched on
the back with black, are worn for Wis
iting. concerts, driving. etc. There is
much favor shown to such gloves in

might sway, without getting away
from it's mate In this way the bal
looms are always manageable.
Besides the system Of network which
surrounds the balloons and which holds
them attached to the car there are
aluminium braces securing the belts
or girths to the car below. These
braces are also the stays for the sails
forward and at the sides for steering
purposes. The principle upon which
this wonderful airship is steered is the
same which governs the sailing OF a
Yacht. A series of uprights over the
car and just under the lower valves of
the balloons sustains shaft, which is
reyolved by electricity, and turns an
immense fan. or screw at the rear OF
the ship. which acts as an air rudder
as well as propeller. Every piece of
metal in the entire construction Of this
greyhound of the air is of aluminium.
There are nine windows on each side,
something more than ten feet apart. A
series of long, narrow openings, closed
with aluminium bars, run around the
upper guard which incloses the upper
deck of the boat
This marvellous air coach is provid-
ed with comfortable accommodations
for 1875 men. There is an electrical en-
CINE room. an electrical kitchen, and
bedrooms, smoking-rOom and an obser-
yatory. The vessel is lighted, heated
and worked by electricity. Water is
taken from the clouds, and not spark

strous air ship. The balloon valves

ences may be noticed in the gymnasium,
in fencing, boxing rowing, walking, and
in piano playing. Pfuger is authority for
the statement that when nerve is slim
ulated by action of the will or otherwise,
the stimulus received by the nerve in
creases in intensity as il reaches the mus
Gle.
The three attributes of tone are force,
pitch and quality. Force is dependent
upon the amplitude of the vibrations.
Pitch is dependent upon the vibrational
number-the greater the number the high
err the pitch. From these facts we de-
duct principles of study which are prac-
ticable to an intelligent student of piano
playing. The overtones of tones sounded
in the upper registers are of such great
vibrational number that the ear fails to
esta blish definite pitch for them. Then,
again, the waves of such tones are so
short that they vanish almost immediate
" after sounding; therefore the pedal,
which permits the tone to be re-enforced.
may be used more freely in the upper
register than in the middle or lower. One
tone sustained by the pedal in the middle
is equal in intensity to about four in the
upper register 1t is possible by deli
cate manipulation OF the peudl 10 ODllt-
crate the discordant harmonies in the
upper, without losing an organ point in
the lower register, which sometimes Of
necessity must be sustained by the pedal.
A point which is of equal Importance
with the manner of striking is that Of the
manner of Leaving the Keys, for upon this
hinges the entire system of legato octave
playing. Wide skips, such as a bass note
and it's chord, and broad intervals either
in the accompaniment or melody, may be
made to sound legato without the use Of
the pedal, by releasing the finger from the

joint, the finger is in the best possible po-
sition for producing the effect.
The physiology Of velocity playing is
a subject of great interest to the practical
piano teacher. In some persons rapidity
of movement is natural, the muscular It's
sue is very irritable and exercises of speed
do not demand great effort. In others
the muscles, although energetic, obey the
orders of the will with considerable slow
ness. A great expenditure Of nervous
energy is necessary to obtain a rapid
movement. Illustrations of these differ

New Mexico. Bemis, with three
young companions, Russell Allison.
Curt Miller and Charles Harmon. it
will be remembered, were arrested
in Drury township last year for
breaking into school house. The
boys had come over into Illinois
from Iowa, and another companion
who escaped is supposed to have
been the ring leader. But the boys
were taken up and convicted. Be.
mis- and Allison we're chums and
their Jail sentences expired about
the same time. Bemis became a
general favorite about the Jail
building, being young. nice look.
ing and apparently honest fellow,
and when his time expired he aud
his companion were allowed to make
the Jail building their home until
such time as they could secure EN-.
ploymen:, in which endeavor the
sheriff agreed to assist them. The
boys remained around until last
June, and one morning they were
found missing. Nothing was heard
Of them until recently, when Sheriff
Hcmenway got letter from young
Bemis, who said he had enlisted for
three years and proposed learning
some trade, and thanked the Jail at
taches for all that they had done for
him. He said he had lost track oi
