lainy go together, and the former nat
urally suggest the latter. So, no one
ever saw lover and his sweetheart on
the lyric stage wind up an amorous
duet without leaning against each 9TH
er, the hands of the heroine clasped in
an attitude of wild despair, while the
hero throws one arm around her cling
ing form and extends the other in mid
air, while the twain Jointly emit
screech that makes you involuntarily
feel for your scalp. 1t is not madness;
1t is merely attitudinizing, and the clos
er they lean together and the more ear
piercing the concluding yell the more
ardent is the expression of their indy
ing affection and the greater their de-
testation of the deep-dyed villain with
his much-bent knees.
Next in posing ability to the operatic
artists come the pianists. They do not
enjoy the same facilities for posing, be-
cause, being confined by the nature of
their art to one spot, they cannot caper
about the stage and transfiX the audi
ence with astonishment at their ability
to turn round on their toes a dozen
times without once falling down, but
they make the most of their opportuni-
ties, under all the circumstances, really
do very well, and from their initial
triple bows to the boxes and parquet to
their Exit, Right" furnish their pat
rons with very passable show. Lady
pianists are always expected to furnish

An Art of Itself.


Exactly why musical performers
should feel 1t their duty to attitudinize
as well as to play or sing is one of those
curious problems presented by the COM
plexity of our civilization to which a
definite answer is not easy to give, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Music,
according to the most highly inspired
of poets, is heavenly gift, appealing
directly to the soul, while the striking
of attitudes is an earthly acquisition,
gained through much practice and ap-
pealing to nothing in particular, unless
1t may be in an indirect way to the
pocketbOoks of the beholders. 1t Is
quite possible that at some time In the
history Of the divine art, men and wom-
en- played and sang without posing
In such a way as to attract more atten-
tion by their attitudes than by their
music, but that day, If it ever existed,
has long gone by, and music at present
Is as much matter of pose as of tone,
and appeals in many cases quite as
strongly to the eye as to the ear. 1t is
quite possible that this fact may have
grown out of the conscious superiority

gloves on entering, do a little stage
business with the piano. No matter
where it is placed, 1t is always little
too far one way or the other, and the
services of the two uniformed Mate
beles appertaining to the establishment
must be brought into requisition to
make 1t right, while the pianist cheer
fully tackles the bossing of the job.
OF course, they always push it too far,
and then pull 1t back too far, so that a
good deal of careful manipulation is re-
quired to place 1t exactly right but the
pianist does not object to working over
time, the audience Is always patient,
for they know perfectly well what to
expect, and that it is quite impossible
for the artist to play until his instru-
ment has been successfully established
over certain crack in the floor and
the Matebeles have nothing to say
about it. so everybody is satisfied. Con-
tinement to the piano stool after the
manual and pedal performance has ac-
tually begun does not limit, though 1t
hampers, the posing of the performer.
Before actually beginning the program
he may run over the keys, and then
give the stool hitch as the stage sailor
does his pantaloons; during thoughtful.
tender passages he may lift his eyes
heavenward, as though gazing into in
finite vacuity, so that the women in the
audience may see how intense is his
inspiration, and during the Scherzo he
may sway back and forth, throw his
coat tails about and kick under the
piano as though driving out an imagin-
ary canine which had taken refuge
there, and all these gyrations will be
regarded as the outward and visible
signs Of an inward and musical genius.
They are looked for by the audience,
who have made up their minds to en-.
dure thm as placidly as possible,
knowing that they are absolutely essen
tial to the proper rendition of piano
composition, whether Nocturne by the
dreamy Chopin, Moonlight Sonata by
the rugged Beethoven, or Rhapsodie

Thomas Corwin.

Thomas Corwin was born in 1904.
| In his prime, life In this country had
local, bucolic, and primitive flavor,
which In politics was grotesquely ex-
aggerated. Clay was commended to
| the people by the fact that he was the
| "mill-boy of the slashes;;" in the cam
paign of 1910 the Wings showed their
| love of the people and their sympathy
with simplicity of life in public men
| by putting up log-cabins and serving
| out hard cider from them; Corwin, hav-
| Ing had to find employment in early life
| by driving wagon-load of provisions
| for the army in the war of 1912, was,
later on, favorably known in politics as
| "the Wagon-boy." The Ohio commun.
| ity of Corwin's boyhood was com.
| munity of pioneers-their dwellings of
logs. The presiding justice first select
| ed for the southwestern circuit of Ohio
was not lawyer, but qualified himself
| for admission to the bar by practice In
his judicial capacity. The salary at.
tached to the Office was seven hundred
and fifty dollars; at the bar the highest
professional income was one thousand
dollars. The common dress was of
homespun or buckskin; a professional
| man wore black and shaved himself

Corwin. In 1928 one James Shields,
Jacksonian. was nominated for Con.
gress against Corwin. In order to dam.
age him irretrievably certificate was
published to the effect that prominent
| men of his own party had declared,
among other things, that 1t was his hab-
1t, on going to bed, to exchange his cam.
brio shirt for night shirt, and Corwin
afterward confessed that it was this
charge that gave him his first hope of
an election, as he felt confident that
| Jacksonian Democrats would never
| unite In support of man who was too
| good to sleep in the same shirt he wore
| during the day. He once confided to
some young man, who asked what
course he ought to pursue to achieve
success in public life, BE as solemn as
an ass" But he did not guide his life
| by this axiom. His declara tion in the

Kashmir Sheen.

A traveller through Kashmir recently
found in practice there a novel method
of putting fodder up for winter use. The
country lies in valley among the Him
alayas. The chief industry of the peo-
pie consists in raising fine wool and in
making this into fabrics which have
carried the name of the country all over
the world. "a curious custom In some
places" he says. SIS that Of hanging
quantities of hay up among the

the knowledge that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual ois.

ton of the system, which the pleasant

ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitatine the
