Oriqin of the Piano.

The pianoforte was directly evolved
from the clavichord and the harpsi-
chord. In III Scipione Mattel gave
a detailed account Of the first four in
struments, which were constructed by
Bartolommeo Chrustofori Ii was
named by him the pianoforte and was
first exhibited in 1909. Marius, in
France. exhibited harpsichOrds, with
hammer action. in 1T16. and Schroter,
In Germany. claimed to have invent
ed the pianoforte between I'LL and
1920. Marius was at first generally
credited with the invention. Pianos of
that period were shaped very much
like the modern grand variety. The
first square piano was constructed by
Frederick, an organ manufacturer OF
Saxony, In 1868. The first genuine up
right piano was invented in England
and the United States by John Isaac
Hawkins. an Englishman, In 1900

Strawberries have improved very
much in favor since the fifteenth cen
fury. Until then the only strawber-
ries eaten were wild strawberries of
a kind which would never find n mar
ket nowadays. BY 1880. however, they
were beginning to be cultivated, for
Holinshed records under that date a
particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop OF Ely in the grounds OF his
palace. now covered by Hatton garden.
He quotes the Duke Of Gloucester as
saying to the bishop: "My lord. you
have very good strawberries in your
garden In Holborn. require you TO
let us have a mess Of them" This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespeare In Richard ILL.," Still,
even the bishops fruit would not ap'
peal much TO modern connolsseurs, for
the garden strawberries at that period
were only transplanted wlldlings. the
plants being sold at about fourpence
a bushel.-London Standard.

PHYSICIANS AND FEES.
A Medical View Of the Doctors Charge
For His Services.

For His Services.
Those who discuss the physicians
fee frequently miss the essence Of 1t.
As a matter Of fact, under present
social conditions the charge made to
!, the wealthy and well to do is the nor
NAL and proper fee; the lowered
charges made to those less fortunate
are concessions. The tremendous field
Of the physicians charity Is therefore
usually underestimated, for 1t extends
to a great majority Of his patients.
In olden times, when medicine was
nearly all art and but little science,
the fee was unknown. Like other art
lists, the leech received an honorarium,
the weight OF which depended natu
rally upon the resources Of the patient.
The popular impression that physi-
clans make the rich pay for the poor Is
Incorrect. They extend their services to
all alike, and all are supposed to pay as
much as they can afford for services
really priceless and impossible to rep
resent adequately In money values.
Any attempt made TO establish stand
ard fees by law is sure TO work In
justice to the physician. The stand
ard" fee would have to be much high
er than the average fee at present and
there would have TO be some method
Of enforcing its sure payment. Only
with the standard fixed, as now. by
the ability OF the wealthy is 1t possible
for the poor to receive the benefits OF
the highest professional skill without
losing their self respect.-New York
Medical Journal.

The First Monev.

Money Is mentioned as medium OF
exchange in Genesis, chapter %, and
is supposed to refer to a time as far
back as 1900 B. G. The coinage Of
money is ascribed to the Lydians, q
people Of Asia Minor. II is, OF course,
quite impossible to fix any definite date
for the first coinage. Long before any
one thought to coin money 1t was made
out of any durable substance that came
TO hand. such as leather, iron, tin.
bronze and even the hard bark Of the
trees and stones Of the fields. The
Holander, SO late as the middle Of the
sixteenth century, made money OF
pasteboard. In fact, pretty nearly ev'
erythlng in the shade of lasting mate
rial has at one time or another been
used rs the medium OF trade known at
money.
