A ChiCkering
Triumph
The Quarter Grand Piano

WE TOLD YOU about this marvellous
w new piano production last SePtem-
Der, but the demand exhausted the
supply Immediately We had to be silent,
until we got more to sell. Now we have
them.
1t has been marvellous accomplishment
for the Chickering's to produce such per-
feet Grand Piano in such diminutive size.
1t makes a grand piano a possibility in
hundreds of New York homes that could
not accommodate one before.
Hear what the Musical Courier says
about the Chickcring Quarter Grand:
''It is a remarkable instrument. Its a. very small
grand piano with 4 very light case, which Is, how
ever very thoroughly and substantially built TO last
for lifetime; and its tone is OF MISUNDERSTANDING
and carrying quality For a small grand must
say that We have never yet seen that surpasses
II in point of the most refined tone equipment. We
played the instrument in all the different phases OF
touch, tried 10 break through the tone, so to
speak; and we caressed it in order to secure from
II its pilHiSsimO qualities. In all respects, from
the strongest forte passages to the most delicate
pIIHISSimO work, IL sustained itself as instru-
ment of remarkable artistic powers and one that
marks an epoch in the creation OF instruments OF
this kind, and it is great credit to Chickering 4
Sons"
Its quaint size will inspire your affecties,
as its marvellous scale and tone will COM
pei your admiration. Piano Store. Fifth floor.

A Calm Young Woman.

A young woman of Brooklyn, sus-
pected Of a cruel murder, amazes all
who see her by her remarkable calm
ness. She was calm when arrested,
she was calm when the prison doors
closed upon her, she was calm when
confronted by the evidence. In fact,
the girl is rarely mentioned without
some reference to her calmness. 1t
may be an exhibition of wonderful
nerve, or it may be the outward mani
festation of innocence. Anyway, she
Is calm.
This will remind old-time readers
of the Orpheus G. Kerr letters that in
fatuated firemen who fell in love with
a wax figure in a hairdresser's win
dow. 1t wasn't her pink-and-white
beauty alone that drew him, nor her
lovely garments. 1t vast her calm
ness that quickened his heartbeats.
"She's so cam" he murmured, $50
very cam" And when he rescued her
at the risk of his life from fierce
conf1agration his first words when re-
stored to consciousness were:
Wasn't it beautiful to see her a
standin' there so ?"-Cleveland

A LUXURIOUS HOME FOR OLD MEN

Haven for Those of Culture and Re
nnemsnt who Are in Need.
When Col. Beard OF New York died
few years since he left a delightful
home at Poughkeeps1e to be used for
aged men of culture and refinement
who have been unable in their days OF
labor to save competency for them
selves. 1t is known as the Pringle
home, is luxuriously fitted up and an
ideal place for those who are privil-
eyed to enjoy it's homelike surround
ings.
For a long time there were no oc-
cupants, but at the present time Mrs.
Duncan, the matron, has a family Of
six talented old men. The latest ar
rival is Prof. Albert o. Laurence, a
musician of rare accomplishments.
The Polish count, Casimir Podgoviski,
who was the guest of Paderewski on
his recent visit to Poughkeepsie. Is
another of the sextet.
On the occasion of the visit of the
Euterpe Music club to the home re-
Gently, Podgovisk looked upon them
as his special guests. Being a thor
ough musician he took down his old
violin and gave nocturne with sweet
touches. THE Cuckoo and the Wan
derer" and "In the MILL" by Volk-
mann. AS an encore he gave Gou-
mods beautiful ave Maria" with de-
votional effect. Podgoviski was at
one time professor of music and
French at Smith College, Northamp-
ton, Mass.
A third member of the family is
Philip Snyder, who was for years an
editorial writer on the Philadelphia
fress. He is well posted on the cur
rent happenings of the day and has a
room that is a genuine sanctum, with
books of reference, typewriter and
desk.
James McCluskey of Paterson is
No. 4. He is Scotchman by birth,
lover of Scottish writer's and a
great lover of Paterson.
w. H. Foreman was once the dra-
matte critic of a New York daily. He
has lost his hearing, but his eye is
still bright. He occupies the circular
room that was once the pride of Col.
Beard
Spencer w. Cone is the last of the
six occupants of the nome. He was
a friend for years of Charles A. Dana,
and delights in telling anecdotes and
incidents in the great editors career,
While the Euterpes were at the
home, says the New York Times, the
count exhibited his workshop, which
is fitted up with carpenters and up
holsters tools. He learned the
trade while in the military service
at st. Petersburg.

He visited noted specialist, and,
after waiting an hour, had an oppor-

sonal misery of insomnia. The medi-

remedy after another, with each and

had unsuccessfully experimental.
Finally the specialist wrote a pre-

Light nInoolnra Gems.

The discoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the air
for long time is well known. Emer-
aids, rubies and sapphires are less sus.
ceptible to atmospheric inflr snce, but
even they, says the Tatier, are not ex-
empt from change. If two rubies Of
the same size and shade are kept for,
say, two years, one in a showcase and
the other in absolute darkness, an ex-
animation of the stones at the end of
that time will invariably show that the
showcase ruby has become distinctly
lighter in color. The most sensitive
of all stones to variations in light is
the opal. This stone draws its mar
velous rainbow reflections from nu-
merous little clefts, which allow the
light to pass and reflect it in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulation of cutting and polishing
well, and all of sudden it splits.
