THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York. April THE conviction Is
evidently unaltered in Wall street that
the delay in presenting the presidents
message to congress adds to the possi-
hilitieS of a peaceful solution of the
Cuban question. The market closed a
shade lower today in the average price.
Individual losses were in almost all
cases confined to fractions and there
is a fair sprinkling of gains among
leading stocks. Only a small proper
tiOn of the sharp advance which came
with Yesterdays news that the mes
sage was to be delayed until Monday
was wiped out. The professional bears
showed no disposition to renew their
short contracts. Neither was there
any sign of liquidation of long hold
ings. The only buying demand was
caused by some slight covering of
shorts and a very limited amount of
commission house buying. The result
was an almost staSnant market. There
was 40 development of the day which
awakened it from it's lethargic condi-
tion. This dullness is due to an atti-
tude Of waiting.

made a complaint about their small supply of food to Captain Barlow $, Howell, He ordered an investigation, which resulted in the discovery of one hundred and fifty dollars worth of eX- tra rations in the battery messhouse' Stored away, in barrels and boxes, were big supplies of hardtaclS salt pork, ba- con, canned tomatoes and baking pow der. In addition, Quartermaster-S Ser geant Treat reported a cash mess fund of seventy-five dollars, the receipts of unused rations sold to merchants.
 Private George Roberts, a former ser- geant in the Sixth cavalry, suggested that the newly discovered rations could be exchanged for vegetables and gro ceries. His suggestion met with the unanimous approval of the officers and men. Corporal Sanford, the old Yale football player, took personal interest in the work, and last week traded the extra rations for more appetizing food. So during the few remaining days of their army life, the recruits of Battery will enjoy such luxuries as oatmeal, sweet corn, tomatoes, milk, butter and sugar.

the small lot went over the side with a shit tied to his feet
 Among the officers of the navy, too, the same argument holds good, The small trim officers of the navy are not in conference with the surgeon one-half as often as the big men-the football players of Annapolis. There has been 8 good deal of talk lately about the overworked engineer officers of the navy, led up to by the fact that so many of them, even before the war broke out, had to be invalided. Out of curiosity l dug into the records little while ago, and I discovered that only about 10 per cent. of the really under sized engineer officers had been passed upon by medical boards of survey, while 8 good 70 per cent. of the en- gineers notable for their size had suf- fered more sr less from the sickness brought on by overwork. Another sig nificant fact that most of the big men who went on the Greedy expedition gave up and died when the hardships began, while the small men nearly all were alive and kicking at the rescue" Washington Star

PADEREWSKI ON PIANO-PLAY-
 ING.

The association of piano-playing with muscular strength is dealt with by MT. Paderewski in the September number of Physical Culture. The great pianist, in the course of his remarks says:
 Tt is highly desirable that he who strives to attain the highest excellence as performer on the pianoforte should have we'll l-developed muscles, a sound nervous system, and, in fact, be in as good general health as possible. It might be thought that practice on the pianoforte in itself would bring about the necessary increase in muscular power and endurance. This, however, is not altogether the case, as though undoubtedly playing does in some cases develop muscles by constant use, in other cases 1t has distinctly deterio- rative effect owing to the muscles be- ing kept cramped and unused. The chief muscles actually used are those of the hand, the forearm, neck, small of the back and the shoulders. The latter only come into play in striking heavy chords, for which the hands and arms are considerably raised from the keys; in light playing the work is chief ly done from the wrists and of course the forearm muscles which raise and lower the fingers.
 Ut is not so much that greater strength of muscle will give greater power for the pianoforte, but rather that the fact of the muscles being in good condition will help the player to express his artistic talent without so much effort. To play for great length of time is often very painful and dis dressing. The strain on the neck and shoulders-on the trapezlus and deltoit muscles which govern the movements of the shoulders and arms--becomes at times almost unbearabIe and you can not expect a player to lose himself in his art, and to throw all his powers and feelings into his work, when every movement of his hands is provocative of discomfort if not actual plain. Sometimes, indeed, great amount of playing brings on special form of complaint known as "pianist's cramp, which may so affect the muscles and nerves that the unfortunate artist thus afflicted finds his occupation gone.
