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 bass note
and its 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
key slowly, thus damping the tone grad
ually. Many beautiful effects may be
produced by this use OF the pedal.
All movements Of the body are either
natural. habitual or hereditary. In GER
tain states of consciousness we bring into
play certain muscles just as naturally as
water seeks its lowest level. 1t is for this
reason that a pupil is sometimes taught
to play a passage with widely differing
movements Of the hand and arm by diff
ferent teachers. Thus 1t not infrequcntly
happens that an instructor scatters
broadcast over the land, through his pu-
pills. peculiar mannerisms which he in
herited from his ancestors ltmay READILY
be seen that this is radically wrong, and
that such would not be the case were all
teaching based OH philosophic principles.
In playing the piano habits will neces-
sarily be formed, and movements based
on the natural laws OF expression Of the
body are more easily acquired. and. when
acquired. enable us to express musical

A Fragrant Bath.

We have always known that Paris
ian ladies know a trick or two not
generally known by the world at large
for preservation of their youth and
brightness. We have 1t on the author
ity Of contemporary that these ladies
put starch into their bath water to
soften 1t, as it is cheaper than borax or
toilet vinegar and more trustworthy
than ammonia. which is said to induce
growth Of down on the skin. The
Partisan ladies' maids are adopts at
preparing delicate toilet waters, and
always have material ready for use,
meal baths, starch baths, flower baths,
sea baths and medicated baths. One
bath which Is considered somewhat Of
luxury must have n curious pudding
effect. The bathtub Is lined with a
linen sheet, gored properly to fit 1t.
Then n bag, containing almond meal
or oatmeal, with orris root and dozens
Of other ingredients. is put in, giving 1t
delicious fragrance. The bath being
filled to the brim with water, the in
tending bathcr gets in and remains un-
til she Is saturated with the perfume.

n mere levce, with rank growth OF
trees and shrubs on one side and the
slow running waters Of the canal on
the other. The canal Is on the east side
Of the path, which gives the full benefit
of the shade OF the trees during the af-

The path extends to suburb ten
miles distant All of this Is so well shad-
ed that except early in the afternoon
a rider can scarcely get a glimpse OF
the sun after II o'clock. The path
varies In width. conforming to the top
Of the levee, but Is not less than eight
feet wide at any place, and In some
places as much as twelve feet. The
levee was first dressed OF with road
scraper and then coat Of gravel,
slightly mixed with earth, was well
packed with heavy roller. On top Of
this was rolled thin Goa ting Of cinders
and sand mixed, making as smooth a
coat as could be desired. and one that
has no suction to cling to the tire.
At many places along the path rustic
seats have been placed, and at one
point, where there. are two very fine
springs. there are a number Of long
rustic benches and bicycle rack that
can accommodate nearly 100 wheels.

PRESIDENT FOR 20 YEARS.


The recent election OF Gen. Porfirio
Diaz to fifth term In the presidency of
the Mexican republic Is evidence OF the
strong hold which this progressive old
statesman has on his fellow country
men. 1t Is all the more noteworthy be-
cause the election was unanimous-an
unparalleled triumph In the History OF
republics. For twenty years he has held
the presidency of Mexico.
1t Is to his personal traits and talents
that his success must be attributed.
He Is man OF serious character and
Judlcious disposition, possessed OF re-
markable perseverance, firm Of purpose.
broad minded, sincere, thoughtful and
OF sound judgment. When first he en-
tered upon Office he made 1t his business
to put an end to the brigandage and
rapine by which Mexico had been dis
turbed for genera lions; and he was sue
cessful In this work. He next under
took the settlement of all outstanding
disputes with foreign governments; and
his success In this undertaking furnished
evidence OF his diplomatic ability.

of the United States, and in dealing
with American claims against Mexico.

OF his country. At the close of Presi.

people of Mexico are better Off than
they ever were ut any other time since
the Spanish conquest. The population
has advanced beyond 12,00O,000, and Is
probably one-fifth greater than 1t was

dent twenty years ago.
Diaz, who Is 66 years of age. has had
an adventurous career At the age OF
II he entered the army, and at the
same time continued his education In
law and the sciences. Throughout the
revolution Of 1855 he was active and at
It's close was elected to Congress. When
Macmillan established his empire,
Diaz was one of the patriots who de-
INJURED. and in the war which ended
with the young Austrian's execution
Diaz was n leader. AT its close he re-
sumed a seat in Congress, was active in
politics. and In 1876 was elected TO the
office which he now holds.

Hints to Piauists.

RI. A. Kelso, of Handel Hall, Chicago,
presents a new theory Of piano playing
based upon principles OF anatomy, physi-
'elogy. acoustics and psychology. and in
IN exhaustive article which he has pub
lished on the subject undertakes to show
how piano playing may be reduced to
scientific basis. he advises the study Of
anatomy. that the teacher may learn to
develop 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

application Of the laws governing muscle
innervation we learn to control and hus-
band the potent force termed nervous
energy. Misdirected nerve energy causes

thoughts more clearly and more forcibly
than habits formed at hup-hazard. Tech
mic, as applied to piano playing, Is the
power to express musical thoughts. This
involves not only the ability to p.ay the
proper notes with correct fingers, but re-
quircs such control of the muscles and
nerves that all gradations OF tonal color
ing may be expressed. Piano playing has
been compared to an electric currcnt-thc
musical thought emanates from the brain,
passes Through the nerves which move
the muscles to be used, the finger strikes
the key, the hammer strikes wire, which
in its turn produces a tone, the ear con-
veys the tone back to the brain. thus
completing the circuit. Weak or slug
g!sh muscles, therefore, not readily yield
ing themselves to the nervous stimulus
flowing from the brain. will break the cir
cut. and the musical phrase will fall short
OF the ideal conception.
in piano playing, the purely mental in
tclcctual phrase finds its expression in
tho circumscribed movements OF the fin
gers and hand, using the kanckles or wrist
as the center of motion. Passages from
Bach's "Fugucs and Inventions" admira-
