amused when I asked Madame King how she played those wonderful arpeggios as she does, and she laughingly answered
 Why, my dear child, I have practiced each one 10000 hours "
 After a great many charming remin- iscences of the friendship between Mrs. Rivers and Madame King, which WIS enjoyed by these two wonderful pianists during their life in Cincinnati, I asked Mrs. Rivers to talk to me about her fa- vorite conposers, and oh, she was charm ing as she related so many interesting things in regard to her love of the great masters of the world She talks so beau tifully about all these things that I love so much and l felt as if l had been trans ported to the Land of Music'-if such there Is.
 And the favorites?' I ventured.
 Well I believe Chopin has first place" she answered smilingly, You know l studied with the only Chopn pupil in America-Werner Steinbrecker, and is 1t any wonder that l love Chopin as I do2'
 "Oh, 1 know. l have heard the incl dent of when you played two little Chopin numbers at the College of Music at a recital one evening and Stenbrecker heard you. And when you had finished he arose and shouted Bravissaman and at once asked to meet the little girl who played Chopin so beautifully. Am I not rght?"
 Mrs Rivers modestly acknowledged that the incident had been told to me correctly and laughngly said:
 ''Where do you find out things? Well, at any rate you would have just loved Steinbrecker. His interpretation of Chopin was heavenly. When he told me that he wanted me to study with him-just for the pleasure of teaching me, you will not wonder that 1 loved and honored him will you?"
 Continuing Mrs. Rivers said:
 My dear, h. took me straight through all the Chopin literature and when he would sit at his beautiful Erard piano and play those wonderful Chopin waltzes with the true vienese rhythm that is so en- 1t was absolutely soul-in- spring"
 Do you remember, Mrs. Rivers l ob- served, "that Sehumann said of ~hopin's waltzes that only eountesses could dance to them and some way added that in

Automobiles As Hen Chasers

Recently an automobilist ran down and killed a hen. He was a conscientious automobilist. Instead of racing along unmindful of the grief of the owners of that hen he immediately stopped, got out, tenderly picked up the unfortunate fowl, and rang the doorbel of the farm house, from the vicinity of which 1t had emerged. A woman opened the door. T am very sorry to inform you," remarked the automobilist that I have uninten- tionally killed this hen of yours He held the fowl up to her view. Now, I am quite willing to pay whatever the value-' But she checked him with this joyous exclamation:
 "Oh, I'm so much obliged to you. I've been trying to catch that hen for three days to cook it for dinner, and I never could so much as lay hand on the pesky thing. Thank you, sir; thank you'

Home Hints

1 To blanoh nuts pour boiling water over them, rub them in a towel and rinse in | cold water.
 Discolored china baking dishes can be made as clean as when new by rubbing them with whiting. To mend rubber use soft kid from an old glove and paste the patch to the gum with automobile paste. The leather ad- heres better to the gum than a gum patch.
 Melted beef drippings or tallow can be used in the place of paraffine over the top of jelly. Be sure when cold to cover the space around the edge where 1t has shrunk away from the glass.
 Use enough spirits of ammonia to soften the water and hard soap for washing white woodwork It does not injure the paint and does the work in less time than most preparations for such pur- poses.
 Cover window plants with paper. If 1t is necessary to cover a stand of flowers more closely, push a heavy reed into several crooks and throw woolen shawl over them to make tent. Burn lamps nearby and Jack Frost will not get your flowers.
 A change of food for canaries is neces- ray in the winter Boil an egg 20 min- utes and mix cracker crumbs and a small pinch of cayenne pepper Ga few pepper seed will dol. Give a thimbleful each day with other foods, preferably something green.
 A little pipe clay dissolved in the water used for washing clothes improves the color of the linen, saves time, soap and labor. and, though 1t is particularly use full for kitchen cloths and other coarse and much-soiled articles. 1t will do no damage to the finest fabrics.

CONSTIPATION AND
 APPENDICITIS
The Latter Usually Caused By the Former, Which. In Turn, Has It's
 Origin in Intestinal indigestion

Chronic constipation is disease which is about as prevalent as dys- pepsia and indigestion. Nearly every
 Jne suffers from it occasionally, but there are millions of people who en- dure 1t habitually, and who are ac- customed to resort to the use of lax atives and cathartics daily. Many people seem to have developed a perfect mania for taking pills. and instead of trying to ascertain the latent cause of the disease. and re- moving it by appropriate treatment. they are content to continue the reck- less use of laxatives. aperients. drastic cathartics and violent purgatives un- til inflammation of the bowels occurs, which reaches the appendix, and the result is appendicitis.
 In Investigating and tracing the causative factors of constipation. and it's frequent sequel. appendicitis. it has been noted by physicians that the majority of cases were preceded and accompanied by a long standing gas intestinal indigestion
 The idea that appendicitis is brought on by foreign bodies. such as seeds etc. becoming lodged in the appendix, is an exploded theory. It is now definitely known that constipa- tion is the most prolific cause of this dread disease while the consti- patton itself is previously induced by intestinal indigestion, or amylaceous dyspepsia-the inability to digest starches-so the relation between cause and effect is readily seen and appreciated.
 The absurdity of attempting to cure constipation by the use of physic should be apparent to every one. Lax ative drugs and powerful purgatives will never cure a disease of this sort, and those who make frequent or reg ular use of them will, sooner or later, set up an inflammatory condition of the intestinal system.
 A person with first class digestion will never be annoyed with chronic constipation. and when this trouble does exist, instead of slugging the system with pills. liquid laxatives, candy cathartics, etc, use a remedy which can cure the gastro-intestinal m digestion and you will find that the constipation no longer bothers you. and with its renewal, the risk of de- veloping appendicitis will be reduced to the minimum.
 STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have been the means of curing num- erous cases of constipation by first curing the intestinal indigestion. They digest every kind of food, a single grain being capable of digesting 5000 grains of alimentum, and in addition to pepsin and other powerful. digest ives they also contain diastase, which converts starch into sugar. and readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia and in testinal indigestion.
 If you are sufefring from dyspepsia, constipation, and, in fact, indigestion of any kind. don't run the risk of get ting appendicitis, but strike at the root of the trouble-the original cause by using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which will quickly rid you of all functional disorders of the alimentary tract
