Antique PIMnoe.

1 Frarnkfort-on-theMain Correspond Ence of the Chicago Record: There is very interesting collection of old pianos in the Roman museum at Hide sheim, Germany. Dating all the way from the end of the seventeenth cen tury, the collection exhibits in very instructive way the primitive origin of piano manufacture, and gives one an idea of the simple instruments used by our greatest music composers. The oldest instrument on exhibition is a small clayiehord of the seventeenth century, possessing thirty-four tones with tWenty-eight two-choral bound strings. Another of equal antiquarian value has four full oetaves-a oae- chord Italian spinet, built at an angle and possessing 2 rich and beautiful tone for singing accompaniments The strings are rifted with pointed crow quills Both instruments date from the time of Handel, Bach and Gluck. One instrument was made in the first half of the eighteenth century, and is bound cIavichord of four and one. half octaves, fifty-eight tones and forty strings. There is also an instrument from the second half of the last cen tury which possesses five and one- ff2grtb oetaves. The last two are sdfpb- piled with strings tipped with brass, and their immediate followers were the hammer pianos of 1760. used at the time by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and even by Mendelssohn, Bartholdy, Chopin. and Franz Liszt during their youth.

At the corner was street lamp, which from some cause was not lit; and from this lamp flrttered what seemed to be 6 handkerchief. You know, I am lit- tie bit near-sighted.

Sea ,onIns Wood with Electricity.

In France method of seasoning Aood through the agency of electricity is credited with much success. It is called the -Bretonneau process. The timber is nearly immersed in 8 tank of water containing ten per cent of borax. five of resin. and little car bonate of soda, and rests on lead plate connected with the positive pole of a dynamo. Another similar plate, lying on the exposed surface of the timber, is connected with the negative pole Thus a current of electricity can be- passed through the wood, from which all the sap appears to be re- moved, while the borax and resin takes its place in the pores. In a few hours the timber is taken out and dried, and the seasoning is said to be complete.

WHITE SLAVES.
Efforts Making to Stop the CurseA
 Traffic In RnsAia.

St, Petersburg Cor. New Yorl, Times: In view of the Inter national Congl ess to be held in Londsn at the end of the present month fot the dis. cussion of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" ;-afic, the Novosti has lately been a,:t,iga.Lg detailed accounts of the n.a-Ier in which this business is car- riFd on in Russia. The trade has de- yeiCped to great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe, but the town of Jassy is its center. The women are bought, partlcularly at Leipsic, during the great annual fair. put it is the capital of Moldavia, which s the central point of the traffic, just as khartoum was formerly the mar ket place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinia and Central Africa. From Jassy the merchandise IS directed to Russia and Turkey. Next 70 Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. fhe white slaves destined for Russia are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma, where the wholesale merchants from St. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. These they transfer at once to the principal citie3 of the empire and to the remote provs inces of Siberia There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave" mer- chants, and at his residence 8 volumi- aous correspondence, with sub-agents at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere, was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police as- certained that white slave agencies ex- ist throughout Russia, in rural dis tricts as well as in the principal cities and towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they had exceptionally fine merchandise at relatively low price, five parcels (sic) in all Then there followed a detailed description of the goods. The Odessa agent in question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse, which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all eiyi1- ized nations. It is well known that the ezarina is herself deeply interested in this matter.
