this. and II which is likely to give a
great impetus to a new industry, the

Just Watch the Chickens.

On a rainy morning a good deal Of
wisdom may be learned from the chick
ems. If 1t is to be a soggy. rainy. driZ-
ely day-all day-the chickens will get
out and stand about in the rain with
an utterly Indifferent manner. They
look just as human beings feel. And
they keep it up all day.
But if the rain is to continue but a
few hours the chickens will stay under
shelter. They cannot be kept out.
They hurry under cover when disturb
ed. and stay there till the fair weather
comes-which it does presently. And
then they so out and enjoy the sun
shine.
The chickens know. If you see them
out in the rain in the morning, make
up your mind it will rain all day. If
they avoid the rain in the morning,
have hope. The sun will oon appear.

Passing of the Piano.

You can rent a piano now cheaper
than you canArent a typewriter. Either
there is a greater surplus of pianos
than usual or there is a marked falling
off in the demand. Maybe it is both.
You can get a piano as low as 50 per
month. A very good instrument ear be
had for SO. And these prices cal be
applied on the purchase of a new n g
a Experimentation at that
will cost YOU So a month, say VS. the New
York Herald.
Is there any significance in this?
Have women begun to give up the
piano for the typewriter: The latter
can be bought new for from $50 to S12;l,
while the piano comes at from $500 to
$1,000. On the basis Of the typewriter,
the piano ought to rent for at least SO
a month. On the basis of the piano
the typewriter ought to rent for so
cents a month.
The piano has unquestionably met
with sever setbacks recently. Not
only has the typewriter opened a o
useful field for young on than was
before offered by the piano, and con
s%equently withdrawn many of the sex
from the career ornamental. it has been
supplemented by the increasing mania
for out-of-doOr sports. Instead of sit
ting down and twirling a piano stool.
as was the custom of her sisterhoOd Of
d generation or so ago, the modern
| young woman mounts her wheel n
takes a spin in the park and the risk

ward. Flat life is death to the piano.
The limited space forbids a musical in
strument that ~encroaches so materially
on the necessities of the family n
which makes as much noise as a brass
band. Besides, the courts have inter-
dicted the piano in fat life. 1t has been
legally decided a nuisance. Complaint

Of Russian political economics must take
into account. not only the number Of holl-
days. but also the number OF days after
the holidays. for working the day after
a yodki drunk is an impossibility. and
thus is the effectiveness Of the Russian
laborer still further reduced. II he can
make enough TO support his family and
get drunk, too, so much the better, if not.
the family goes hungry. for TO the Rus
sian peasant a holiday without Vodhl IS
but a barren ideality.
Such are the ignorant, shlftless. lmprov-
ident people who crowded the neighbor-
rood of the ancient capital in anticipation
Of a free feast from the hand Of the Gar
That they trampled each other TO death az
the tables. that they were drowned in the
beer provided for their use, is not 10 be
wondered at. for a herd Of cattle would
act quite as intelligently as the degraded
creatures who starved themselves for 4
whole day that they might be better pre-
pared 10 profit by the Cars generosity.
The future Of this vast mass OF ignorance
may we'll be viewed with apprehension:
The Russian peasants do not now know
their strength. just as the equally lgnor-
ant and down-trodden French peasantry
a century ago Were ignorant Of their
power. but when they discover il. as some
day they surely will, the aristocracy Of
Russia may fare as badly as did the no
bility that crowded the gay court Of Loui
XVI. The day Of reckoning may be dis
tant. for national movements are gen
orally slow. but, on the other hand. the
world moves faster and goes further now
in a decade than it formerly did in a cen
fury. so there may be men living who will
see the social earthquake that will occur
when the Russian peasants discover their
wrongs and rise to take vengeance on
their oppressors.
