Corner in Huckleberries,

The huckleberry industry about Au-
denried has come to n sudden stop
through the appearance of two bears
on the mountains. \ week ago tray
eler exhibited two performing bears on
the street and while doing 50 the ami
mails engaged in bout not on the bills.
In the scrimmage the trainer was used
up badly and one OF the muzzles torn
from Il bear Finding themselves nj
liberty, the bears trorted Off and reach
ed the mountains safely. The black
berry season having just opened, hun
dreds of boys and girls who pick the
berries have siuce been kept out of the
woods through fear. The mines being
idle, the villagers one day turned ont to
scour the woods for berries and bears
y party of women came upon them un-
eXpectedly, and their screams soon
alarmed scores of others, resulting in Il
stampede. The bears are now boss Of
the situation and berry-picking in that
vicinity is at a ill.-Pittsbnrg

Value of u Musical Ear.

In the management of rapidly NOV
ing machinery q musical ear, which
quickly detects variation of pitch,
and, therefore, of speed-for the pitch
depends on the speeds of consider
able use, says the Chicago Chronicle.
A farmer with good ear can detect
Mt once if the thrashing machine is i'm
properly "fed," for its speed increases
and the sound it emits Is of higher
pitch than when an insufficient amount
of gram is supplied, and in the same
way the electrician can tell if an cleo.
trio motor is running at its due speed
With a musical ear the physician more
readily interprets the sounds elected
by percussing the chest, and the pot
ter more easily separates the sound
from the unsound.
1t is moot point whether the musi-
cal are naturally the better readers
and speakers. but there is no doubt
that they improve quickly when
taught elocutIon, for they can appre-
ciate the pitch of their own voices and
go correct their errors. A good ear
includes an acute appreciation of time
or rhythm.

PLAYING THE PIANO.
NEW AND INTERESTING THEORY
is ADVANCED.
Prominent Instructor Says the Study
of Anatomy, Physiology and KnowI-
edge of Acoustics Is Necessary for
Thorough Mastery of the Pianoforte,


ii. A. Kelso, of Handel Hall, Chicago,
presents new theory of piano playing
based upon principles Of anatomy, physi-
ology, acoustics and psychology, and in
an exhaustive article which he has pub
lished on the subject undertakes to show
now piano playing may be reduced to Il
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
fully treat weeping sinews and musi-
cans cramp. BY the understanding and
application of the laws governing muscle
innervation we learn to control and hus-
band tho potent force termed nervous
energy Misdirected nerve energy causes
physical disease and disorders natures
internal arrangements; sickness is the re-
suit. Misdrected 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
ing,' rs we cannot know too much of

sound. Pedal management tonal color
ing and the science of harmony are all
better understood through knowledge of
the properties of acoustics. A knowledge
OF the anatomy of the hand, wrist, fore
and upper arm gives the student greater
facility in individual muscular control.
In consequence of the control thus gain
ed, the whole arm becomes more express
sive. a crisply-leggiero effect can best
be produced by energizing the muscles Of
the upper arm and those of the fingers
while relaxing the wrist muscles This
is very important point, and is simply
the application of the mechanical prin-
ciple of the resistance being equal to the
force of the blow.
The outer side of the hand is naturally
weaker than the inner side, yet it is Just
as essential a factor in playing. The
melody and fundamental bass notes are
most frequently played with the weakest
fingers; hence the necessity of building
up the outer region of the hand. A de-
velopment of the pronator muscles in the
forearm renders possible a good position
of the hand for playing octaves, arpeg-
gios, scales, chords and trills with the
fourth and fifth fingers. Rolling octave
playing is dependent upon separated
control of the supinator and pronator
muscles from those Of the fingers. Speed
requires the shortening of the latent pc
riod of the muscle, and this can be accom-
plished only by taking up the slack of the
tendons. The principal muscle concern
ed in producing II crisply staccato effect
with finger action is the eXtensor, as upop
this muscle depends the brevity of tone.
BY elevating the wrist, curving the second
finger, and depressing it at the knuckle
joint, the finger is in the best possible DO
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
hess. a great expenditure of nervous
energy Is necessary to obtain rapid
movement. Illustrations of these differ
rnces may be noticed in the gymnasium,
in fencing. boxing, rowing. walking. and
in piano playing. Ptiuger is authority for
the statement that when a nerve is stim-
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
or the pitch. From these facts we de-
duct principles of study which are prac-
ticable TO an intelligent student of piano
playing. The oycrtones of tones sounded
in the upper registers are of such great
vibrational number that the ear fails to
establish definite pitch for them. Then,
again, the waves of such tones are so
short that they vanish almost Immediate

Bantie,

Bantfe was a tiny little black dot of
4 bantam hen. and BERTHE was tiny
rosy-cheeked dot of boy.
Bantie belonged to BERTHE, and she
was SO sure of few crumbs whenever
he came to the door that she would
leave Speckle and Brownie and all the
rest of her companions, even to old
Buff, the huge Cochin, whenever Ber-
ties little white head appeared at the
door.
One day, the last OF April, BERTHE
came into the house crying bitterly
"Bantie's gone he sobbed, AN won't
never come back no more"
We cheered him up by telling him
that he would surely see her again, and
sure enough, in about three weeks Ber-
tic rushed into the house as fast as his
two little feet would carry him, shout
ing, "Bantie's come, Bantie's come. an
brought ten little black banties with

small youth out in Kenwood has
come to think his native State does
not amount to much. Some time last
year his family removed from st.
Joseph, Mo-, to Chicago, and took up
residence within the fashionable dis
trict of Kenwood. The younger son
of the family is lad about nine years
old, and few days ago the whole
Sabbath-school which this youth at
tends was being questioned by the
superintendent upon the lesson of the
day. This little fellow has an un-
usually bright and interesting face,
and as his class was seated directly i'll
front of the Superintendent he was
naturally attracted TO him. The les
son was of Moses and how the Red Sea
had separated and permitted him to
lead his hosts through the divided
waters to safety.
When the Superintendent had
finished relating the story he con-
cluded to see how much his youthful
listeners had taken In.
"Who was it, children" he ques-
toned, "that led the Israelites into
the promised land?"
With the usual timidity of children
about speaking out in meeting" none
of them replied. The boys looked at
each other and giggled, but none Of
fered any response.
"Now, l know you all know his
name" said the Superintendent in
patronizing tones. Just think a
moment and tell me. Won't some of
you? Let this little man tell me-" he
said, pointing at the recent conner
from the South.

here. l only came up from Missouri
