An lrconvenient Piano.

Leopold de Meyer of Dresden. bril-
liant and popular pianist of his day.
was once summoned to play before the
sultan of Constantinople. Going thith-
er, he borrowed a grand piano from
one Of the Austrian secretaries Of lega-
ton and had it set up in a large recep-
tion room at the palace. There he
awaited the coming of the sultan, but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back in alarm and
demanded Of his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs. Explanations followed, but were
in vain. The legs had to be taken of
and the body Of the instrument laid
fat on the floor. and Leopold de Meyer,
squatting cross legged on a mat. went
through his program as best he could
In that awkward attitude and without
pedals. But the commander OF the
faithful was delighted, and when the
last piece was played gave the artist
over 5000 as backsheeSh.
