The Piano.

If good piano receives proper care
Its value increases with use. 1t be-
comes more mellow, more responsive
and richer even IN appearance. Avoid
placing plano near the window, as
the varying temperatures which neces.
sarily exist in such a position are In
furious to the strings. Be careful too,
that you do not have one end of the
instrument near a fire and the other
end near window or door, When q
room has become very cold do not heat
it too quickly, but increase the heat
gradually.

Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before a probably frost. For sew
eral years beans have borne good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption Of them is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting.
harvesting and thrashing Of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re-
moves a former serious objection to
their culture; and II the crop area on
a farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason Of the cold spring, a
field of beans might be advantageously
used in extending the seasons crops.
Good corn land is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that Of corn, hence 1t
does not require any special instructor
or skill to grow them successfully.

Detection of Sewer Gas.

The American Analysis gives the
following test for the detection in an
apartment of sewer gas: Saturate
unglazed paper with solution of one
troy ounce of pure acetate of lead in
eight fluid ounces of rain water; let
It partially dry, then expose in the
: room suspected of containing sewer
gas. The presence of gas in any con-
siderable quantity soon blackens the
test paper.

Facing for the Hat.

1t is one of the fads of fall to have
the facing of your hat match your hair.
The oandeau is also the color of the
hair, and the little putting of maline
covering the bandeau is likewise a close
match to the couture. This is a par.
ticularly becoming fad, for it does away
with the sharp outline between the hat
and the hair.

BIG HANDS IN POKER A M
Remarkable Assortment Of Cards
Among Friends Beyond sus-
pleion Of Dishonesty.

All Rawhide is talking of a phe-
nomenal game of poker played il a
gambling house there. The game
was remarkable for the high stakes,
big hands and wealth of the players.
The game was being played by
friends, no professional players par
ticipating. AS all of the men are
well known and respected, no sus-
picions have been aroused by the
way the cards ran.
Harlow Clark, owner of a mine
south Of the city, held the winning
hand with a king-high straight
flush in hearts. Henry B. Hoyt,
owner of shares in a half dozen
mines and rated as a millionaire
several times over, was second with
a queen-high straight flush in
spades.
Inc other TWO players held four
aces aud four sevens, respectively.
The game was ''stud" poker, but
despite the fact that four cards
were showing in each hand, each
man backed his cards with all the
money in front of him.
The size Of the pot is said to have
been $1,000. 1t undoubtedly would
have been much greater had the
players not been playing table
stakes If had more money in front
of them.

PIES FOR LUNCH BASKETS,

The woman who has to provide
suitable and appetizing food for a
daily lunch basket will find little
individual pies more satisfactory
than pieces cut from a large one.
These can be made in deep gem
pans. Line the pans with pie crust,
put in sliced apple or other fruit
and season as for a pie, The top
crusts may be cut with a cooky
cutter. Pinch the edges together
and bake. If one of these is too
small for the lunch basket two can
be used and will carry better than
a large piece of pie.

not to be caught, to say hat a hen
could be deferred from cackling, or
that the ~sereech-owl and sweet slum-
Der could consort,
'TThe greatest nonsense in the

whose voice had not been heard,

Of WEAKNESS, "that | cannot match

A silence fell on all, and the room
grew gray with gathering twilight,
for everyone both great and small
had spoken-excepting Mono, the
dwarf, whom no one had considered,
who sat on the lowest step of the
throne.
"My liege," said he in a voice
which made all start and stare to
hear, Il can tell the greatest nom
sense in the world"
"Can'st thon, indeed, good
dwarf?9 said Almer. "Then tell it
me, for l have come to the conclu-
sion that there is no one piece of nom

The king leaned down his ear to
hear it, and his laughter drove the
bats from their steeples in the gloom
outside the windows and shook the
very throne.
"There is no nonsense" he de-
clared, when he could speak for mer-
riment, that equals this in all the
world. Let Nomo,' he commanded,
'be lifted up beside me on the
