The Elysee palace. situated in the
Rue Faubourg Saint Honore, is a cross
between a country house and a hotel.

erection in IT'S and has harbored some
queer characters. Louis V. presented
it to Mime. de Pompadour. Who knows
how many lettres de cachet went out
of the gates to imprison those who
lampooned her? Under Louis XVI. it
was called the Elysee Bourbon. Dur

property, was put up for sale, found no
purchaser and was turned into gov

Stephen Collins Foster, the most pop

composers, has been called the Edgar

a genius. He came of Virginia parent

in New York Jan. 10, 1854, in the
height Of his fame, penniless wander

1925.
He learned easily, and after receiv-
ing private lessons in music and draw
ing taught himself to play on the
flageolet, guitar and banjo. He also de-
voted several years to the voice and
plano. Then he turned his attention to
composing songs and dialect ballads
and dialect songs. At the age of seven

he published the serenade open Thy

successful. Then followed Uncle Ned"

PIANO EXPERIMENTS.


Open wide your piano so that the
wires are exposed. Over the wires
place sheets Of music, and when you
strike a tone you will find that it has
a rafting sound. If now you play a
tune in the same manner, with the
sheets of music still lying on the
strings, 1t will sound as If the instru-
ment We're a banjo. Anyhow, it is a
good imitation.
Now remove the music sheets and
press down gently, but firmly, the
keys belonging to any cord. Take the
simple cord c, E. G. for example.
The keys must be pressed down with
out sounding them and held down
while some one gently brushes the
strings with feather or straw. The
effect will be as if the cord were play
ed far away and is heard by you as
very soft tones.
Change the cord, always pressing
down the keys without sounding them,
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly. In this way you may
modulate or play slow piece. and the
effect will be very beautiful, indeed, as
If heard from great distance.
The reason Of this is that ordinarily
damper rests against each string,
but when the corresponding key Is
struck or pressed down the damper Is
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather, lightly, only the strings
that are undampered sound. the others
being held mute by the hampers, but
If the touch Of the feather is too heavy
even the other strings may sound, so
your care must be In making a light
and delicate touch.
Now press down key gently and
hold 1t. Strike very hard the octave
above this key. but do not hold 1t after
striking the tone. When the wire of

Lincoln the Lawyer,

1t Is conceded by all his contempo-
raries that Lincoln was the best all
around jury lawyer of his day in IL
linois. Undoubtedly his knowledge of
human nature played an important
part in his success. He possessed an
other quality, however, which is al
most If not quite as essential in jury
work, and that is clearness and SIM
plicity of statement. His logical mind
marshaled facts in such orderly Sc
quence and he interpreted them in such
simple language that child could fol-
low him through the most complicated
cause, and his mere recital of the is
sues had the force of argument.-Frett-
