Ru.t on che wlres Of a piano.

The appearance Of rust on the tuning
pins and the steel wires of a piano is a
sure indication that the piano has been
exposed TO moisture or dampness. The
time of year or the age or quality Of the
piano has nothing to do with it, as rust
may appear in a night The fact that
the room is heated by a stove just out
side of it will probably account for the
rust, as the chances are that after the
usual cooling of a fire overnight its
heating in the morning would be likely
to cause condensation on the metal, and
rust would Immediately appear Do not
use oil or any greasy substance to re-
move it. It will probably not do any
harm unless it causes the strings to
break, in which case they will have to
be replaced. Most pianos require tuning
twice year. The only important care
to be given piano is to keep it in an
even, dry temperature Ladies Home

an anarchist Of the most pronounced

this latter line that he was sentenced,
two years ago, to 20 years imprison-

this sentence he is not now IN prison.
His latest scheme shows that science,

HAVE YOU NEURALGIA
OomsGhing About That Maddening III That
Flesh L. Heir To.


Though il may appear strange to as
who think we are familiar with the
commoner forms Of neuralgia, or nerve
pain, such as toothache, headache and
the like, it is not easy always to say
whether the pain we are suffering be
really a neuralgia pure and simple.
In point of fact, neuralgia is a name
for a condition rather than a disease.
and only implies that in the course OF
the nerve in question there is pain that
is not caused by any disease of the parts
supplied by that nerve or OF the nerve
itself
The causes Of neuralgia, then, are to
be found in conditions outside of the
trouble itself. For instance, there may
be tumor pressing upon the nerve and
continually irritating it. In the same
way foreign bodies, such as bullets, may
set up persistent neuralgia. Ends OF
nerves, by becoming involved in the
contraction of a scar, may become suffi-
GENTLY compressed to give rise to I'M
bearable pain. Sometimes veins that
are near nerves, or follow their course
through long, bony canals. become suffi-
GENTLY distended to irritate the nerve.
Or there may be poison in the blood,
like malaria, arsenic or lead, which, by
lowering the general vitality of the
body, contributes to a general nerve
weakness and irritability.
In large proportion of cases the real
cause of neuralgia is SO general as to be
quite Obscure. The exciting cause-or
occasion-of a single attack of neural
gia is usually getting chilled or over
exercising the part subject to the COM
plant.
As many of us know by experience,
the course of an attack of neuralgia Is
extremely varied. The pain may be con-
tinuous, remittent or intermittent, tenn
porary or persistent. located at one spot
or diffused over a large area, and may
be shooting, aching or burning in char
acter
BY way Of treatment we may use To-
cally any good liniment, blistering, hot
lamentations or electricity. Iron and
quinine are of the greatest value inter-
nally, especially where the system is
run down or there is a malarial faint
in the blood Antirheumatics must, of
course, be resorted to in cases of rheu-
matte origin. In these latter cases there
is nothing like absolute rest and regular
and nourishing diet.
Morphine or other opiates should be
used but sparingly in neuralgia, and
never in cases of debility or old age

He visited Hawaii and lived for two
months in the bush ON the Fiji islands.
