THE PIANO.

The piano is one of our best known
musical instruments. 1t was invent
ed severalhundred years ago, and in
its earlier incarnatiOns was known as
the spinet, or harpsicord, and afford
ed eminent artists many opportuni-
ties to portray languishing ladies sea
ed before it.
The piano comes either as an up
right or a grand. The grand is a
large flat proposition that takes up
several hundred dollars worth of
room, while the upright has nice.
smooth top on which bric-a-brac may
be placed.
The piano is usually played by
young ladies until the young man pre-
poses. 1t is also played by young m a
in tin-pan song shops In those plac-
es the youth, who has flowing hair
and discouraged necktie, allows a
cigarette to hang carelessly from the
corner of his mouth while he shouts
g, song from the other corner, and
uses the loud pedal exclusively.
In the old days, before women be-
came advanced as they are now, it
was considered some doings to play
piece on the piano which required
the hands to be crossed Nowadays
the piano is fitted with a self-ulav-
ing attachment, and the young man
caller feeds porous plaster into it.
