Correct lingering.

"A large volume might be written on
the importance of correct lingering in
playing the piano, and yet it is one Of
the most difficult things in the world to
get pupils to pay attention to the fin
gering of composition, even when the
figures are marked plainly above the
notes. Teachers should explain to pu-
pills the Importance of lingering and
see that they observe it from the start.
I have had young pupils tell me, on my
asking them why certain lingering
was marked in their music, that they
supposed it was to make it hard" 1t
is long time before the average pupil
can be made to understand that one
finger is not so good as another If only
the right key is struck with it. Let the
teacher explain to his pupils that cor
rect lingering is simply common
sense;" that it is the best and easiest
way of executing certain passage, and
that many passages are not only diff
cult, but are absolutely impossible with
out correct, lingering. When passage
in the music has to be fingered, let the
pupil do it under your supervision, cor
recting him if he is wrong, giving rea-
sons and showing him why he is right
if he has fingered the passage correct

Gastronomic Anarchy,

They say the art Of cooking is dying
out in France. Cooks and public agree
in this, but they charge each other
with the cause.

be artists, but they are no longer
cooks"
IF you want the matter demonstrate
ed" says a Partisan who may be con-
sidered to represent the public, look at
the so called culinary exhibitions given
in Paris every year. These exhibitions
do not ask the judgment Of the palate.
They ask the judgment of the eye.
They ask you to criticise Swiss chalets
made in butter and Louis XIV furniture
made in cake They wish to initiate
the salon, and they show Lard sculpture
sentmentally disposed in palm bowers
and canvases, with fairgrounds Of
string beans, and sunsets of tomato

sionism, if you like, but it is not cook

Rird. Tint Eight Eaxle..

In Foula, one Of the Shetland islands,
the natives make business Of rearing
skau gulls in order to rid the island Of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredations. The mag
nifcent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a ia
vorite haunt Of the eagles, and in this
inaccessible spot they increased so
rapidly that they became terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot. The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foe Of the eagle In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and 30 the Inhabitants OF Foula hit
upon the novel plan OF feeding and car
ing for the skau guIls, which, though
formidable to their feathered enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought In contact with man.

bolster is intended for double bed,
and stitched into long bag, one end
Of which is drawn up with strong
gathering thread.
A hollow cylinder is next made by
rolling four large sheets of stout brown
wrapping paper and inserting them in
the covering, which must then be
stuffed to it's utmost capacity with the
packing shavines commonly known az
excelsior. To gather up the open end
and finish each extremity with a paste
board "button," covered with the ma
terial, is but a moments work, and
you then have an invention which may
by right be named the excelsior bolster,
for the one described has been in use
for many months and has never lost
an iota of its form OF stiffness.
An airy canopy formed of muslin
curtains depending from large bow
tied through a ring in the ceiling is a
pretty addition to a bed furnished in
this manner and will not interfere with
ventilation.

I'M my LADY's CHAMBER.
The Up to Date Bed Must Have It's
French Bolster For the Day.

"Our French cousins have long had
the custom of tucking away the plun1es
in some mysterious recess at the foot Of
the bedstead during the day and filing
their place with a stiff bolster, such as
may be seen n the oilded cnnches of
state at Versailles al
and now in America ny l4ly's cham
Der. if entirely up to date, must have
its pillows for the night ana it's bolster
for the day." So affrns Vogue in pref
ace to an illustrated description Of the
really simple process of evolving a
French bolster from domestic materials
without the aid of an upholsterer, the
suggestions being given from actual
experience.
The bolster here described adorns a
pretty blue and white bedroom where
the hangings are of the same colonial
blue and white cretonne of which the
bedspread and bolster are made, the
draperies being all edged with white
, cotton ball fringe, which may be pur
chased for 6 or s cents yard. It is not
every one who cares to indulge in fine
feathers to fill bolster whose function
Is purely ornamental, the chief object
being to construct an article both light
and firm without the dents and in
equalities sure to result unless a proper
stiffening is usee. After various at
tempts the following experiment was
successfully tried: Two breadths of
cretonne are sewed together, if the

and the side walls. That disposition
saves trouble to the builder, but it
looks very ugly unless treated as here
suggested in our picture of 'corner
window seat" The form of the seat
makes the window a central feature
and restores to it its proper Importance.
The question what to do with our
windows in summer is one that agi
tates the housekeeper both in the city
and in the country. The heavy cur
tains used in WHITES are obviously out
of the question, and even elaborate lace
curtains do not accord with the SIM
plicity that ought to reign Still, many
people are distressed by absolute bare
ness. For these there are materials that
may be used. Those already suggested
are suitable for the simplest apartment
Still lighter in appearance is the now
fashionable Singapore net, very open
mesh, usually in shades of dull red and
ecru.

modern limitations of the old Spanish

the same effect may be obtained by
carefully staining with, appropriate
Hnts the figures Of an ordinary lace

what use may be made Of a hanging

and Of 9ayly colored cushions and q

Of windows and window seats the hot
colors Of some stuffs from tropical coun-
tries must be used in moderation. In
the countries from whence they come
these are either paled down by the ex-
cessively brilliant sunshine OF tempered
by the almost complete darkness of the
rooms. In the diffused light of ouI

especially when of cheap material. But

Of the larger credits given by the banks
throughout the country, to be used for
reference in connection with the efforts
of the comptroller tn determining the
safety Of issue. Efforts are being made
to have the system Of tabulation Of the
different examiners uniform, and it is
the intention of the comptroller to call
the examiners together at Washington
for general conference at least once
a year There is being utilized at the
present time throughout the country a
set Of special examiners who are ex-
