THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming Defects That May BE Often
Due to Exterior Causes.

Seeming Defects That May BE Often
Due to Exterior Causes.
"a piano." said dealer, will some
times develop or seem to develop a
flaw in some one note, which comes to
have rattle or Jingle or unpleasant
burr to it, but this jarring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside of it.
ANY given note when struck pro-
duces a certain number of vibrations to
the second. There may be in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
will be set in motion by it when that
note Is sounded.
".The owner of fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about a certain note of
the instrument, SO that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When | heard the note sounded, knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was due not to
any defect In the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about In the room,
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally, | walked around the room
to see if could locate it.
Passing across the middle of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause of the Earring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vi
bration of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
1.-THE owner Of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and l
struck the note she was readily con-
WINGED.
81 made that globe fmmovable and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
$50, you see, the sound of the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
its surroundings, and what may seem
atty attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
"And thus it might easily be that
some noble instrument that had SEEM
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to a
change of environment or to some spe-
cific outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea

time in my life l had a sudden and
severe attack of diarrhoea,n says Mrs.
Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. 81 got
temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and fer six long years

than | can tell. 1t was worse than

dollars for physicians prescriptions
and treatment without avail. Finally
we moved to Bosque county, our pres
ent home, and one day happened to
see an advertisement OF Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with a testimonial of man who had
been cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that concluded to
try the remedy. The result was Won

left his headquarters some distance from
the camp, for the scene of the disturbance. 1t
was not long afterward that "Old Put with his
coattails flying, galoping into camp.
and stopping in front OF the line of soldiers about
ready TO march he addressed them in these words:
MY brave lads whittier you going? Do you
intend TO desert your officers and to invite the
enemy TO follow you into the country? Whose
cause have you been fighting and suffering so long
in-is it not your own? Have you property,
parents. wives or chIdren? You have behaved like
men SO far All the world is full of your praises,
and posterity will stand astonished your deeds;
but not If you spoil all last Don't you consider
how much the country is distressed by the war and
that your officers have not been any better paid
than yourselves? But all expect better times.
and that the country will do ample justice Let
US all stand by another. then, and fight it out
like brave soldiers Think what shame It would
be for Connecticut men to run away from their
officers"
The words OF the brave general worked like
magic. When he had completed his stirring address
he gave orders for the men TO march back TO their
quarters and lay down their arms. which order
obeyed promptly.
General Putnam was not long in learning the one
foremost in the affair, and the fellow punished
by being placed in the guardhouse. The soldier

The heroic deeds OF General Israel Putnam are
being recalled and told many times these sum-
rer days by the large delegations that visit the old
camp Redding, Conn, where Putnam and the
Continental troops he commanded We're stationed in
the Revolutionary War. Every young American
who has ever read history IS familiar with the
events in which General Putnam figured promi-
nently. 'Old Put" as he sometimes called.
a good specimen of the old Continental COM
fnander.
The old Putnam camp is a popular place just
now, and hardly day passes that gathering of
some sort does not take place at the grounds.
Among the visitors those coming from all parts
Of Connecticut who interested in the historic
features of the place One visitor the other day
marked: Il hardly expected TO find the place in
such fine shape. I looked for rough. rocky and
wild looking camp, but instead find a handsome
memorial park, with all Of the historic features
carefully preserved
And such is the fact. for the commissions ap-
pointed by the Governor from time to time to have
charge OF the camp have in done their duty in
trying TO improve the place and the same time
not rob il of any Of its historic features. These
commissions have spent the moneys well that have
been entrusted 10 them IN the various appropria-
1ions made by the General Assembly. The grounds
were never in prettier shape than they when
the present camp commission visited the place re-
Gently. The flowers and foliage looked fresh and
bright, and the walks and drives were in good
dition for the keeper aud his assistants have been
busy all the spring. The commissioners are: Pres-
dent John H Jennings, of Westport; vice-presi-
dent, Lyman D. Brewster. Of Danbury; secretary
and treasure, Granville A. Durant, OF Bethel;
superintendent, William H. Hill, Of Redding; as
sistant superintendent, Edward A. Housman, of
Danbury; auditor Charles II. Freudenthal. OF
Bethel, and George A. Parker of Hartford.
After tour of the grounds the commissioners
had dinner at the Old Put Club house. A business
meeting followed the dinner in order to talk over
ahe affairs of the camp and future improvements.
The commission is the only one Of its kind in
Connecticut and is appointed by the Governor to
have full Of the camp and to preserve as far
as possible all the historic features OF il. The work
Is in line with similar work carried by other
States where historic grounds situated. One
OF the most enthusiastic in this particular de-
psrtInent is Commissioner Parker. Although he
does not hold Office the commission. he Is
considered valuable man, from the ract that he
has had many years experience in park work. and
at present is president of Keney Park, in the city
OF Hartford. He has already arranged a line OF

tive results may be planned and the money ap-
profriated made TO go far possible. There
