lIls. Aches and Pains With Which Per.
formers Have to Contend.
Pianist's cramp is more painful than
writer's cramp and Is the bane OF all
virtuosos. 1t is caused by the constant
contraction and expansion Of the mus
cles controlling the fingers. 1t becomes
chronic when not guarded against. and
many u promising virtuOsO's career has
been blighted in this way The only
remedy is to rest the overtaxed mus
Giles and then work them up gradually
to meet the strain Of constant playing.
All concert panists are subject to
Iplit finger tips. The constant stroke
Of the balls of the fingers on the hard
ivory makes the flesh so delicate ana
tender that frequently playing becomes
acute agony.
Violinists suffer great deal of phys
lcal Inconvenience. Most of us have
an idea that the violin is held against
the neck and shoulder by the players
left hand. which grasps the arm of the
instrument. All great violin teachers
insist that the left hand be left en-
tirely free, and to achieve this the VIC

commonest result of wind playing. In
plain language it is overdistention Of
! the lungs. This stretching Of the lungs
from constantly heavy imitation leads
to engagement of the blood in the
right cavities of the heart. and this
produces dilation of the heart and n.y.
pertrophy.
Mental peculiarities Of oboe players
are traditional in the orchestral world.
In spite of the fact that most oboe
players are normal Some explain that
the oboe player is mentally affected by
the fact that he is forced to blow
through an exceedingly small aperture
and the expiration Is unusually pro-
longed. Others insist that the peculiar
ly melancholy quality Of the tone pro-
duced and the invariable character of
the music written for the oboe are re-
sponsible for any peculiarities display

After this somewhat grewsome re-
cital 1t is cheering to know that one
instrument at least can be counted on
to bring health and longevity to those
who practice it. This is the flute. Doc

SEvRES PORCELAIN.

The manufacture Of Sevres ware Is
one of the oldest and most character

potteries have long been under the di-

The factory was transferred from
Vincennes to Sevres in 1856, since

Sevres porcelain has always been
an expensive production, for the most

its manufacture. Formerly the finest

and were sold only by royal permission.
