Il Should Not he Left Open or in q

Try, for the sake of the pianoforte as
As. well as for any musician who may
be used to play upon it, to have it 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 it is
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 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
II 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 it's 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 pianoforte use
warm water, soap and flannel rag.
Wet the latter, rub it on the soap, and
apply to the pianoforte, a small portion
of the surface at time. Wet second
piece of flannel and wipe off the soap
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, If

or usage this may be whitened by a
good rubbing with fine sandpaper or
moist powdered pumice-stone.-Chica-

Medical Use. of salads.

Each of the various salads possesses a
medical property of it's own, thus at
fording a possibility of absorbing q
medicine, and, at the same time, a
dainty article of food. For example,
lettuce contains well-known narcotic
principle, opium, and may, therefore,
be taken for insomnia. Chicory has lax
alive properties. Watercress is tonic,
excitant and purifier. Celery stimu-
liant, will do good to the depressed.
Whatever faith one may have in these
marvellous properties, it is easy
enough to prove them. The trial can
be repeated daily without danger, and
with pleasure to the palate.

FOOD FOR DAWSON.
The Steamer weare Will Take In 500
Tons.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE steam
schooner South Coast from St Adichaels
arrived this afternoon. She brought
down 20 passengers. but most of them
went ashore at Port Townsend and
took boats fer different sound points.
CAPTAIN Saddart places the amount of
gold brought down by the South Coast
at $780, 600. but from information gath
cred from the miners returning here dt
is believed that this amount is too high
by at least $500 600 The miners Will
not say how much their cleanup has
been, but it is safe to place the amount
aboard at less than 100000.
The following miners were passena
gers: W. Lewis, W. Davis, W. G.
Transe. VIM. - Anderson. r.
Smith, A. Larson. J. T. Hover. A
Chequette, G. U. Sloudfeld, j. P Light,
J. Braithwide, J. Baily, s. Grimm, F.
Garsbee. - Clark. C. T. Rupel.
The most important news brought by
the South Coast is the safe arrival at
st. 9IichaelS of the river steamer p. b.
Weare. which struck on a sand bar for
over two weeks, below Circle City. The
arrival of the Weare viii be good news
to the people Of Dawson City. who are
threatened with a famine this winter.
When the South Coast left. the Weare
was loading supplies and it was ex-
pected she would leave up the river in
a day or two with a 500-ton cargo. Her
voyage should not consume more than
% days, which would put her into Daw-
son City by Sept. %. The Weare's
cargo consisted almost entirely of pro-
visions and the 500 tons she will take
in will materially assist in relieving the
threatened famine

Columbus, O., Sept. 1.-THE great
miners strike, which was declared on
July 4, was brought to an end this
evening. 50 far. at least. as western
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and West
Virginia are concerned, by the action
of the interstate convention of miners,
which has been in session here since
Wednesday.
After a day of voting and wrangling,
the convention adopted a resolution ae-
'cepting the proposition of the Pitts
burg operators. The vote was 1876 for
and 81 against accepting the terms of
settlement and all votes were not cast.
The delegates from Illinois. VINO had
$50 votes, were unanimously against q
settlement. Indiana and West Virginia
voted Solidly to accept the operators
proposition, but there were scattering
votes among the Ohio and Pittshurg
delegates against it.
The resolution adopted is as follows:
Resolved, That we, the miners of
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio. IN
diana and Illinois, in convention as
senlbled, do hereby agree to accept the
proposition recommended by our ma
tional executive committee, viz: Sixty
FIVE cents in the Pittsburg district. all
places in the above named states
where a relative price can be obtained
to resume work and contribute literally
to the miners who do not receive the
advance. over which the fight must be
continued to q bitter finish.
Resolved. That the national officers,
executive board and district presidents
act as an advisory board for the par
pose of providing ways and means for
the carrying ON. of the strike where
necessary: provided, however, that no
district resume work for ten days for
the purpose of giving miners in other
districts time to confer with their op-
orators and get the price if possible"
While ten days is provided for the
miners to resume work, it is probable
that many of the Ohio and Pittsburg
mines win be re-opened Monday. The
Illinois miners viii be called in con
vention at Springfield, Sept 10, to de-
ternline what shall be done in that
state.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action of the deputies in firing into
the crowd OF strikers at Hazelton, Pa.

Port Townsend, Wash. Sept. 1.-THE
steam schooner South Coast. Captain
zaddart, arrived here this morning at 3
O'clock. The South Coast brought down
p passengers from Dawson City. but
the exact amount Of money. she brought
down could not be learned, as the men
were not disposed to talk of their pri-
vate affairs.
One man who is said by his fellow
passengers to have $4,000, said to the
reporter who asked him how much
money he brought out:
It's none of your business. You
might as well go to a bank president
and ask him how much is in his vault
Among the passengers was C. IT. Ru-
pei of Tacoma, who went to Circle City
two years ago. and later to Dawson
City He brought down $4,000 in dust
and nuggets. He has several claims
and will return in the spring He went
over the Dyea pass and says that Che
trail from Dawson to the gold fields, a
distance of % miles, is just as hard to
travel as the ChilkoOt pass Rupel
says that not one man in q hundred
who have gone in this season will get
claims, as all the country is staked off,
and unless new diggings are found new
corners will get nothing. Rupel says.
The newcomers can go out and look
at the gold in other mems claims, but
can get nothing for themselves"
He says it is just the same as though
a man went into a bank and looked at
the gold on the counter. 1t is there,
but you can't get it.
Captain Haddart gives it as his opin-
ion that the p passengers brought at
least $3.50 900 in gold
]. IA. Light of Chicago is returning
after two years in the gold fields with
about $4,000. He brought out six Es-
kin1o dogs. which he will take to Chi
cago.
All of the South Coasts passengers
are loud in their condemnation of the
transportation companies for urging
men to rush in without due preparation.
Provisions are very scarce at Dawson
and ali agree that within "a month -four
and bacon cannot be purchased there
at any price
The river steamers Bella. Alice and
Weare were all at, St NIichaels when
the South Coast left, loading for their
last trip up the river this season.
The story brought by the Cleveland
yesterday to the effect that the prin-
cipal cargo of the river steamers from
St. Michaels to Dawson City is whisky
is confirmed by the South Coasts pas
senGers. Light said he would not have
come out this fall, but for the fear of
starvation. He came from the Klon-
dixie and went to a store in Dawson
where he had $1,000 on deposit. and
asked for a supply Of winter provisions
but could only get one sack of flour
and 90 pounds of bacon. He says that
people Will starve surrounded by gold
in Dawson City before the river opens
next year His story is eorroborated
by all the other passengers At St
Michaels there are plenty of provis-
ions. but no place Of shelter comnen-
surate with the demand
The South Coast brings the news that
the steamer p b Weare, which stuck
on a sand bar in the Yukon, got on
and arrived safely.
