formed?
Answer-The Hungarian scale Is
formed like our harmonic minor scale
with sharp fourth. For example, the
Hungarian scale o. G would be formed
as follows: G. d. F. flat, + sharp,
G, \ flat, b, G. The scales as we have
them are also used in Hungary.
For what purpose is the third
pedal in grand piano intended?
Answer.--The middle pedal in a grand
piano acts in the same way that the
right hand or sustaining pedal acts,
with this difference: The sustaining
pedal removes all the dampers from
the strings; the middle, or sostenuto,
pedal removes the campers from the
lowest octave or TWO Of the bass
strings only. If, therefore, 1t is desired
to sustain the bass of a chord and no
other notes of that chord the sostenuto
pedal is pressed down. 1t is not Of
very great utility and is seldom de-
manded in the music | remember
only one composition at the present
moment which actually requires the
sostenuto pedal, and that is passage
in the first movement of Schumann's
Carnival Franks"

Paine's celery compound does its best
work now as spring comes on. These
early spring days encourage getting
well. Nervous diseases are less stub
born and debility yields more quickly
now than at any other time.
1t will astOnish every one who knows
Paine's celery compound only by hear
say, to try it now and to see the change
from yellow, Sallow, complexion to a
fresh, healthy color; headaches will
wholly cease; sleep will refresh and
the mind grow clear. BY means of this
great modern remedy the liver that
has been sluggish all winter becomes
active, and bilious attacks and the
poisonous headaches and the diseases
akin to rheumatism which are it's re-
suit, are cut short.
If il We're possible to make a house
toulouse canvass of families where
Paine's celery compound is being used
during these early spring days, an ov-
erwhelming amount of evidence would
appear showing the implicit confidence
that is placed in this greatest of all
spring remedies: and the enormous
number OF people who are being cured
of some form of nervous troubles,
Sleeplcssness, indigestion, headaches,
neuralgia, heart troubles or a general
run down" condition.
