MUSIC AND MISERY.
Ills, 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 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 pianists are subject to
split finger tips. The constant stroke
of the balls of the fingers on the hard
ivory makes the flesh so delicate and
tender that frequently playing become
acute agony.

an idea that the violin is held against

Performers on wind instruments suf-

instances their work leads to perma-
nent physical disability. Bulbar paral-
ysis from continued use of the tongue
and lips is an ever present danger.
Doctors have fearsome name for the
commonest result Of wind playing. In
plain language 1t 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

MRS. E. G. BETTIS LOSES
TWO DIAMOND RINGS

Ten days or two weeks ago two val
liable diamond rings mysteriously dis
appeared from the home of Mrs. E. G.
Bettis, 62s Rudd avenue, and have not
yet been found, although every effort
has been made to locate them. At frst
Mrs. Bettis thought that. perhaps. she
had mislaid them and that a search
about the house would lead to their
recovery. but investigation proved
this theory to he false ore and the
only logical conclusion that could oe
reached was that the rings had bes1
stolen. With this view of the matter
Mrs. Belts reported the loss to the
police and offered a hundred dollars
Tor the restoration OF the missing
spm., asifasi.~I-
The two rings have an intrinsic
value OF between four and five hun
dfed dollars, but on account OF their
history and associations are worth
more than that to Mrs. Belts. They
are both cluster rings. One of them
has an ovai-shaped sapphire Center,
weighing about three and a hall
carats. and is surrounded by about
twenty small diamonds. weighing
from one-eighth to three-sixteenths OF
carat each. The other has an oval
shaped torquoise center. weighing
from four to four and half carats;
the principal stone being encircled by
score or more OF little diamonds,
averaging something like quarter OF
carat in weight.
