CARE OF THE PIANO.
II Should Not BE Left Open OF in .
Damp Room.

II Should Not BE Lett open OF IN q
Damp Room.
Try, for the sake of the pianoforte as
as well as for any musician who may
be used to play upon it, to have 1t tuned
at least once in two months. The
strings must be kept at their proper
tension, and if they are allowed to drop,
as it is called, from the proper pitch lis
difficult to screw them back and make
them stay.
Pianofortes should not be kept open
either, for dust is just as injurious as
dampness, and, in fact, the air is al
ways an enemy to the great mass Of
sensitive springs-the nerves OF the in
strument. 1t should be placed In dry
room, quite away from possible drafts
and not too near a fire. Heat not only
tends to warp and crack the case, which,
being highly inflammable, is apt to ig-
mite, but any increase or decrease OF
temperature affects the strings and
brings them out Of tune, exactly as does
excessive dryness or excessive mois-
,ture.
An upright pianoforte sounds better
If placed about two inches from the
wall, and sometimes It is an improve
ment If it is allowed to rest upon glass
blocks, A grand pianoforte should
stand with its curved side to the room,
and its plain side next to the wall.
Nothing should be placed on the piano
forte. No musical people ever put
vases or ornaments and books upon
this shrine of music, for they rattle,
absorb the sound, deaden the tone, and
worry the performer. The case and
keyboard should be kept free from
dust. To make the polish shine rub
the wood with soft and old silk hand
kerchief, and to clean a pianoforte use
warm water, soap and a flannel rag
Wet the latter, rub 1t on the soap, and
apply to the pianoforte, small portion
of the surface at time. Wet a second
piece of flannel and wipe off the soar
thoroughly, and with piece of chamois
skin rub the place perfectly dry. Wipe
the keys off with damp cloth, fol
lowed quickly with dry one, and, i
the ivory has become yellowed from agt
or usage this may be whitened by
good rubbing with fine sandpaper OIL
moist powdered pumice-stone.-Chica

HE HAD FRIENDS.

Jim Brown, arrested by Detective
McCloskey, was taken before Justice
Shook yesterday by Constable Joe
Kohr this morning and waived exam
ination on a charge of swindling. His
bond was fixed at 5000, which he failed
to give and went to Jail, Brown claims
to be a stockman of Victoria, and is
accused of passing worthless check
on Ida Douglass, of East street fame,
as payment for 1925 worth of beer.
Brown claimed he had friends and
could give bond without any trouble,
so Constable Kohr went with him in
quest of the friends, but could find no
one to do something for Brown.

was so frightened that he died at once

COUNTY BEATS THE CITY.

Returns of yesterdays election are

that the country vote is larger in pro-
portion than the city vote, whereas
the city vote is usually three times as
large as that polled in the country pre-
cincts.

Are numerous, but of the latter none is
more ridiculous than the promscuous and
random use of laxative pills and other
drastic cathartics These wrench, con-
vulse and weaken both the stomach and
the bowels. If Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters be used instead of these no-remedies,
the result is accomplished without pain
and with great benefit to the bowels, the
stomach and the liver. Use this remedy
when constipation manifests ITSELF and
thereby prevent it from becoming chronic.
