Origin of the Piano.

There lived at the court of Ferdi-
nand de Medici, about 200 years ago,
Padun harpsichord maker, named
Bartollemeo Christoferi, a man of great
inventive genius. After many expert
ments he solved the problem, which
had been puzzle to the musical in
strument makers of the period, how
to make a satisfactory working keyed
psaltery," and by the method he in
vented of overcoming the difficulties
inherent in the task, produced an in
strument which was the undoubted an
cestor Of the pianoforte of to-day.
From 1709-the date when Christoferi
made his four "keyed psalteries"-the
piano, at first slowly, but afterward
by leaps and bounds, went on increas-
ing and increasing in popularity, until
now its manufacture has become q
great industry.

LOOK AND LISTEN.
When II IL Not Legally Necessary ut a
Railroad Crossing.

When II IL Not Legally Necessary ut a
Railroad Crossing.
The rule requiring traveller on a
public highway before crossing q
steam railroad to look and listen is
held by the Court of Appeals in the
case of Apolonia Fejowski, as admin
istratrix against the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company not to apply
when the situation was such that if
the traveller looked and listened he
would not have discovered the danger.
The plaintiffs intestate was killed
while crossing the tracks of the de-
PENDANT at Edison avenue in the city
of Schenectady. The accident hap
pened at $3.50 in the evening of Oc-
tober II, 1895. The deceased was seat
ed on the seat of a two-horse market
wagon, driving. When about fifteen
feet from the railroad tracks he
stopped to allow freight train to
pass. The night was cloudy and dark,
with neither moon nor stars visible
There was no fagman at the cross
ing nor light near it. The freight
train made loud noise, and after it
had reached a point about one hun
dred feet past the crossing the de-
ceased said Get up" the team start
ed, and as he was thus driving across
the track he was struck by an engine
following short distance behind the
train and instantly killed. There was
no evidence tending to show that the
decedent either looked or listened, and
1t did not appear whether he was ia
mfliar with the crossing or not A
witness. whose eyesight and hearing
were good, was walking on the side
walk. He also stopped and waited for
the freight train to pass. AS the de-
cedent started to drive over the track
the witness walked alongside, and, as
he testified, listened and looked as
he went upon the track, but neither
saw nor heard the approaching en-
CINE until the crash came. He was
where he could have seen the engine
If it was visible, and could have heard
1T II it was audible above the roar of
the train. On the trial a jury gave
the plaintiff verdict, which was at
firmed by the Third Appellate Divi-
sion. The Court of Appeals, while
holding that the railroad company in
backing the engine in the way it did
behind the freight train cannot be
said to have exercised reasonable
care, orders a reversal because of an
error in the charge of the justice.
Judge Vann, for the court of last re-
sort, says that in the absence of any
evidence that the deceased either
looked or listened before going upon
the track, the trial by jury should not
have been permitted to assume that
he did SO from the circumstances of
the accident, and a charge that they
might so infer and permitting them to
find verdict upon that theory is re-
versible error.-Utica Daily Press.

Wall Tables in Restaurants.

A Philadelphia philosopher thus ex-
plains the general preference for a
wall table in restaurant: primitive
man ate in peril. The cave bear, the
sabre tooth tiger, even some warrior
of his own kind, was apt at any mo-
ment to leap upon him and to devour
his food, and perhaps himself. There
fore he took his meals with his back
against a cliff, or in the corner of two
adjoining cliffs. If possible, and with
the open country before him. That,
you see, was the safest way for him to
eat. He could not then be surprised.
And we still have in us that memory
Of the primitive man, and we still I'M
consciously, when we sit down to our
repasts, choose places that give us a

MARCH OF PROGRESS DOES AWAY
WITH OLD TINE FORT
FAMOUS BUILDING AT PRAIRIE DU CHEN WIS TO
- BE TORN DOWN

Old Fort Crawford, at Prairie du
Chen, Wis, famous in the history Of
the settlement Of the northwest, is be-
Ing torn down and before many
days the last remnant of the old fort
will be destroyed. Already workmen
are tearing away the massive old walls
which long ago sheltered all who
sought refuge behind them. For CEN
fury and a half they have withstood
the ravages of time and the attacks Of
the painted Indian warrior. Fort
Crawford is relic of long ago;
around it's barren ruins is grouped
more history than at any other place
in Wisconsin; it is, indeed, thing of
history, romantic, bloody and price
less.
Even before the pickax of the first
workmen clicked against the crumb-
ling masonry, there was but little left

alone, like towering sentinels guard
ing its sacred secrets, two walls of the
fort hospital remain. The remainder

walls were fast falling to decay, but

To the lover Of the historic and ro-

the destruction of the remains Of old
Fort Crawford. To the residents OF
Prairie du Chen. who for years have
seen and thought little of the past OF
the dilapidated old walls, it is hard,
cold business proposition. They see nc
reason why sentiment should retard
the progress of their city. They car
see nothing to be gained in the pres.
ence of the staring sentinels of stone,
But few rods north from the site
of the fort, hidden from the casual
glance by the thick growth of rank
weeds, and made more obscure by the
presence of broken down fences, IL

hand to strew flowers upon the graves
of the heroes whose remains lie there,
1t is place of mysterious surroundings
and is avoided and stunned. Though
upon the age-worn granite tablets the
epigraphs Of many whose names ara
inserted in living letters upon the
pages of history are carved in crude
broken letters; there is none to notice
them nor to give them a passing
thought.
The massive old fort proper has Ions
since been torn down and upon its site
now stands the beautiful st. Mary's
