TIE SOUND or. "a PIANO.
5seeminE Detects That May he Otter
Due to Exterior Causes.


seeming Defects That May BE OFTEN
Due to Exterior Causes
5s "a piano., said a dealer, will some
times develop or seem to develop a
Jaw 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 plano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside OF it
Any given note when struck pro-
2uces certain number Of vibrations to
the second There may be in the room
home 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 a fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about 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, I walked around the room
to see if Iscould locate it.
| Passing across the middle Of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause Of the jarring accompaniment OF
it was discovered to come from the vi.
hro on nf ono ~ Tho crlo r.por>o.a5 -,
the chandelier overhead r. h +:
The owner Of the piano was almost
fncredulous 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 ]
struck the note she was readily con.
WINGED.
II made that globe immovable 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 upo1
it's surroundings, and what may seem
to be defect in piano may be in re
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 {
change of environment or to some spe
cific outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily b.
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions. "-Chicago Inter Ocean.

I Minnesota stood seventh in the num-
Der of foreign settlers received through
the. port of New York during 1901.
he states receiving more than Mime
sofa, with one exception lie on the At
lantie seaboard territory. - ~
During 1900 the state received from
immigration through New York 4,955
settlers. Last year the number was
$685.. Other states in adjacent terri
tory obtained no increase whatever,
and in all of them the total number of
new settlers was but a fraction Of what
Minnesota received.
North Dakota obtained 1886 of the
immigrants, a decided falling. off.
South Dakota received 2,103; Montana,
Ills; Washington, 1868; Oregon, ,52s.

amounted to 412, 41e persons, against
81, 500 for the previous year. The i'm
migrants were of more than thirty ma
1tionalities, those of southern Europe
pred This is taken as the
cause for the heavier settlement in the
seaboard states. Illinois was the only
inland state leading Minnesota.

Fishing Through Street Gratings.

In Winchester, England, it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end Of stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
PUSHES to the point where the stream
energies from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish. IT,. 49,.

Butter Scorers. g

.g-. -
/ Minnesota is again at the top of the
heap in butter honors. B. B. White,
of the state dairy and food department,
received a proposition from the COM
mittee in charge of the National Cream
cry Buttermakers' association, to assist
in scoring in the six-months national
butter contest which is to be hold soon.
Prof. T. L. Hacker, of the stale school
of agriculture, received similar prop
osition. . If they accept, this state will
have the honor of two members on the
scoring force of this most important
contest. .,< -. = II
When the contest was first suggested
the committee, in estimating the pos
sibility of securing the necessary num-
Der of entries. counted on Minnesota
to furnish one-third of the total num-
ber. Within a week it was plain that
their estimate was none too high. Out
Of the first fifty entries this state had
twenty-four. Out of the first 100, Min
nesota had forty-one, and now that the
con test is assured, Minnesota has more
than one-third of the total entries. -.
+, The contest will be the first of it's
kind ever held, and will bring the butt
termakers of the United States in po-
sition to compete with each other.

Do Your Work Well.

Possibly you think your employer
does not notice you or know about your
work. The writer Of this was talking
the other evening to an extensive en-
ployer of labor, and he talked most of
the evening about his workmen. He
knew all about every one Of them, from
the head man to the laborers, and not
ed their good and bad points. Don't
forget that your employer knows all
about you. When he needs new fore
man or superintendent, he knows the
one to select.-Atchison Globe.

Ten Years Ago and Now.

There is no better antidote for de.
spondency than to take measure of
your own community as it was ten
years ago and as it is today, unless
you live in an unrepresentative and
stagnant community. You will be
likely to find the roads or the streets
better than they were, the railroad
service. the postal service, possibly
even the telegraph and the telephone
service better. You will observe better
houses, more attractive grounds. The
people are better clad or more are we'll
clad. Inside their houses you will find
more books or, better, more bathrooms,
better lights and better furniture. A
larger proportion of children and youth
are receiving good training at better
schools. All this means more than
prosperous years. 1t means higher
level of life and a stronger ambition.
The we'll being of the people of the
United States is rising higher and es-
pecially is it diffusing itself wider.
Life is constantly becoming more com
Portable and more cheerful as we'll a.
longer and safer, leading to better con
ditions for intellectual growth and so
cial development-Wor Work.
