HOW TO KEEP WARM.

How to keep warm is so pressing a subject with many at this moment that it tempts me to give the advice of the we'll known scientific writer, M. Gabriel Provost on,this point. Much, he thlnKs' can be done by practice, and he IS clearly of opinion that if we could break ourselves in to do without clothing at an early age, we should suffer less from a cold snap in after life This apart h s advice is almost a series of don ts.
 Don't, he says, wear heavy clothes which expose you to the risk of sud- den check of precipitation. Rather wear one or two extra layers of light cloth- ing, with the "chimneys" as he calls them. of the wrists and ankles scientlfl- cally plugged Don't heat your rooms oyermuch; for to really prevent radla- ton. and consequent loss of heat by this means, you would have to sit In d temperature of eighty-five degrees, which would infallibly give you a chill when you went into the present Arctic air. Don't drink too much alcohol, which has hardly any warming proper ties, but eat an increased quantity o1 sugar and fat. Finally, don't take vlo- lent, by which he means exhaustlng, ex- ercise but do something that keeps your hands and feet moving. To when may be added the Canadian plan of putting on your outer garments lit tie while before you go out of doors, SC as to take as much warmth as posSpie out with you.--Pall Mall Gazette.

symbols, the din of gongs and the clat- ter of drums completely annihilate the struggles of their delicate stringed in- struments. I soon found that the only means of studying the Chinese art of tones was to visit the amateurs in pri- vate life, or get them to visit me. My first investigations were made with the assistance of a performer on the sam win, an instrument of the lute family, but it is a lute without frets. The sam yin has three strings tuned in the rela- tionship of fundamental t1fths and oc- tave. This fact, simple as it may seem in itself, shows conclusively that the Chinese are familiar with the most i'm portant principle in musical theory-the relationship of the tonic to the doml- nant. These tones form the boundaries of all music and are the only tones com mon to the scales or tone-systems of all countries.
 Gevaert, the eminent authority on an- cient music, makes the statement that the history of music as an art begins with the construction of stringed in struments, for this implies familiarity with the principles of acoustics. In aCCu, Dy virtue Cl llSll hicn iSNSN the nature scale or series of tones de- rived by dividing a string into aliquot parts, the Chinese were enabled, early in the worlds history, to obtain all the twelve tones belonging to our chromatic scale"
 Here MT. Kelley gave many calcula- tions made by the Chinese, showing how the fundamental principles of mu- sic were ascertained by them.
 The different Chinese instruments were described. showing the difference in tone. action, etc.
 The lecturer then spoke of the Japa- nese and their instruments, playing and musical ability. He said the Ara bians manifest a passion for fantastic decoration which shows itself in their architecture, embroderies, figures or speech and in their music. A ballet from Lakne, which MT. Kelley played served to illustrate this fact, MT. Kelley then spoke of the Turks, who are less artistic than the Arabs, and played some Turkish compositions

HOW HE SOLD TWO PICTURES.

HOW HE SOLD IWO FIG O1|H1'o'
 "Dirt is great promoter of picture sales" remarked a New Orleans dealer rather cynically, the other morning. For over year I had couple of small canyases here in the store, and although they were really works of art, couldh get rid of them at any figure. They were studies in oil by young French na,uter-one an ideal head and the oth- CT a landscape, and they were well worth my original price of one hundred dollars apiece. There were no custom CTS for them, however, and after few months I cut that down to fifty dollars, and then dropped notch at a time un- til I finally ticketed them at $S.49 for the pair put on the tag partly as Joke and partly because I was mad, but must confess I was considerably sur prised when nobody took up the propo- sition. Then I had bright idea. l took the two pictures out of their hand some shadow boxes, slapped them into a couple of shabby gilt frames, put back the first price, and sent them over to second hand store in the Old Quarter The place I am speaking of is beyond doubt the dirtiest den in town, It IS cluttered up with broken furniture and hasn't been swept since the year l, but nevertheless it is a great resort Tor northern curio hunters. They imagine they make discoveries there. and sure enough, in less than a week one of them discovered my paintings and almost dis located his arm in getting out his pock- etbook before anybody could rush in ahead of him. My conscience is easy, for he got bargain as it was, but the episode is discouraging. I'm thinking of discharging our scrub-woman and emptying a lew trash barrels around the store. Then maybe I'll be able to convince people I have works ofart on the premises. ."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

second precinct police station to inquire
into the death of Miss Eva Melting. re-
ported in The Star, held Druggist Albert
N. Conner, 4th and N streets as the re-

ployed two unlicensed clerks. The verdict,
after reciting the fact that Miss Melting s
death was Immediately due to atropia poi

the proprietor of the pharmacy, Albert n.
Conner, at whose establishment the pre-
scription was compounded, was criminally

their duties during his absence"
About $50 o'clock in the afternoon Con-
ner was taken into custody and committed
to the District JAIL the charge against him

Isadore Cohen, one of the clerks en-
ployed by Conner, testified that he was
