HOW PiANISTS ARE MADE.
Paderewski Had to Uulearn Faults He
Acquired Early


six is the age at which would-be
pianists should begin serious work."
says the great teacher LcschetiZky. the
Nlennese master of music, from whom
iaderewski learned to perfect his art.
Nhen Paderewski went to Leschetizky.
some ten years ago. it was as concert
performer who had already achieved
success in Russia and mastered an ex-
tensive repertory. Lcschetizky heard
MN play for awhile and then said:
You have some very bad faults, but
you have talent. You have played too
many things and nothing we'll enough.
Your wrist is hard and stiff. If you
come to me you must forget for six
months that you have a repertory; you
must play nothing but exercises for
technique, six hours a day for exer-
cises. and nothing else"
The verdict was serious one and
Paderewski gave it a serious consider
alton, ending by determining to be-
come the renowned LeschetiZky's pti-
pill. All day long for six months this
finished concert performer worked
away at the mechanics of piano play
ing, at exercises specially devised for
him by Leschetizky. and some devised
by himself with reference to peculiari-
ties of his own hands. Every evening
he was given lesson at the professors
house as mark of special favor. for
with ordinary pupils all lessons ended
ut D in the afternoon. and one lesson in
two weeks was the best that even the
most proficient might attain.
one hour, two hours, three hours
these nightly sessions lasted. for Les
chetizky gives no heed to time, once his
serious interest is aroused. These two
men were together constantly: they
took long walks; they played hard
fought games of billiards, both being
adopts DIT Che game; they talked inces-
sanity. for Leschetizky has fluent
tongue, and what the older man knew
of the art of making music he gave
freely to the younger man.
1t is worthy of record that this store
of musical knowledge, transmitted
thus from man to man. was sort of
sacred heritage handed down from the
great Beethoven. for Leschetizky's
master was Czerny, and Czerny often
declared that all he knew about music
he got from Beethoven in few weeks
Of priceless intercourse with that great
est of all musicians.
LeschetiZky accorded this extreme
favor to Paderewski because it pleased
him to do so and for no other reason.
The young Pole had no special infiu-
ence and very little money, but he had
conspicuous talent and an untiring res
OlutiOn to do the work put before him.
'He would have succeeded in any
thing" remarked LeschetiZky. "in
painting. in literature. in business. had
he made up his mind to undertake it,

Story Told on List.

There is story told of List to the
effect that he was one day very hard on
pupil whose playing he condemned
rathe, severely. The pupil said she
had studied the piece under Nine.
Schumann. To which List replied:
"Mme Schumann, Nine. Schumann
Yes, you have learned from her how
one plays the piano when one has six
children-poor woman, six children
In such burgeois life any great inter
probation is impossible. You must
play this piece differently when l am

A Right of Burial.

Despite the growing difficulty of
finding space for the interment of pub
lie men within the walls of Westmin-
ster, at least one noble family still en-
joys a prescriptive right of burial there.
These are the Dukes Of Northumber
land. who have the exclusive use Of a
spacious vault in the Chapel of St.
Nicholas. This vault, which was the
last resting place OF the Seymours, was
opened as recently as 1888 to receive
the remains of Lady Percy, the elder
sister OF the present duke.

ALABAS Inc
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLHOUSES.

The interior walls of churches. schoohouses
and all public halls should never be coated
with anything but the durable and pure Ala
bastine. So evident has this fact become, that
hundreds OF tons are used annually for this
work. The genuine Alabastine does not rub
or scale off. 1t is clearly dnrng the long
period OF its usefulness. Every owner of a
building should use it. Ask your paint dealer
or druggist for card OF tnts, and write for free

WHAT "KALSOMINES" ARE.

Kalsomnes are cheap and temporary prepar-
atoms, manufactured from whiting, chalks,
clays, etc They are stuck on the walls with
decaying animal glue, Alabastine is not a
kalsomine. 1t is a rock-base cement. which
sets, and it hardens with age. 1t can be re-
coated and re-decorated without having to
wash and scrape off its old coats. Beware OF a
large four-pound package of light kalsomine,
sold to dealers for four pounds and offered to
customers as fve-pound package.

WHAT ALABASTINE IS.

Alabsstine is the original and only durable
wall coating on the market. 1t is entirely
different from all kalsomine preparations
Alabastine is made ready for use in white or
twelve beautiful tints by the addition OF cold
water. 1t is put up in dry powdered FORM in
6ye.pound packages, with full directions on
every package. 1t takes the place OF sealing
Iais6mipes, wall paper and paint for walls:
AIahastine can be used on plaster, brick, wood
a. canvass, and child can brush it on.

REJECT THE "JUsT AS GOOD"

The dealer who tells you that he can sell you
the "same thing" as Alabastine or something
just as good" either is not posted or is trying
to deceive you. In offering something he has
bought cheap and is trying to sell on Alabas-
tines demands, he may not realize the danger
to h imsef as we'll as to you. Beware of all new
substitutes. Dealers risk suit for damages by
selling and consumers by using an infringe.
and sell wall coatings adapted to mix with cold
water.

Talbott & Palmer's Grain Letter

By Private Wire from Ware & Leland.
 Chicago, H., July H.-Wheat: Liverpool closed dull at Id. lower. Foreign crops show but little improvement. The French estimate has been reduced to 1,110000 ,0)9 hectoittres. Wheat on passage decreased 2,S75,O0O. Worlds shipments, 6 6,140 000 a de- crease of 100000. English visible increased 6i0, 900. American visible increased 543,O00. Primary receipts, ,193,000. Shipments S22,- 900. Clearances, 266,000. We can confirm forty loads for export at New York Re- ports from winter wheat seats still continue or an unfavorable nature. There have been light rains in the northwest. Fair weather indicated While elevator people in the northwest report indications as favorable, there is not enough evidence to even pre- dict bumper crops, for a decided change in the situation could take place within forty eight hours The selling pressure that was started in the week was began again from the northwest and St. Louis. Decline brought out some covering. A number of holdings on stop orders and the local bear element were on top of the market. The weakness in Liverpool was the most favor able bear feature While offerings of win ter are very light, 1t is more than offset in the minds of bearish traders by northwest receipts. The decline may extend some further, which We think will have a ten- dency to curtail selling by farmers and bring about more liberal inquiry for ex- pert.
 Corn: Charters 350,C00 elevator people were free sellers, due to country acceptances be- ing more liberal Conditions west of the Mississippi river are of the most favora ble character and it has created a very bearish sentiment, which no doubt will carry values to a lower level.
 Oats have held up well. Visible de- crease S59,O00; 12,O0O for export Charters here 100000 reports were favorable Com tact grades held strong, but sample lots were hard of sale.
 Provisions: Hogs all sold at good prices. Liverpool bacon and hams higher; packers sold early, but considering the weakness in grain values have held up well.
