The piano is one of our best known

several hundred years ago and i'm its

The piano comes either as an up-

large, fiat 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 proposes

SHADOW OF THE MOON.
Its Rapidly of Motion as Shown In a
Solar Eclipse.

Probably the fastest motion that man
can perceive with his eyes is that OF
the shadow of the moon across tn,
earth in solar eclipse. This rate Is
practically that of the moon in its or
bit, which is about 1000 miles an hour
This is roughly half a mile second
Now, If a person were to be stationed
on a mountain whence he could SEE
for some miles he could actually watch
the approach of the shadow and keel
his eye on its edge. OF course the
shade would cover the whole landscape
for any one person.
From the testimony of many men
who have witnessed the phenomenon
in such circumstances it is a terrible
and awe inspiring spectacle. Thus

most terrifying sight ever saw. Al
always happens in the case of sudden.

Four Great Sauces.

A Frenchman has declared that
man has created the culinary art.
He does not eat like an animal-he
breakfasts. dimes and supS."
The French are particularly eloquent
on the subject of sauces. Among
their famous chefs are recognized
four great sauces-Spanish. Veloute
Bechamel and German. The Spanish
and NelOute were known as far back
as the seventeenth century. In the
eighteenth they were modified by the
masters of cookery, particularly by
Careme. who was called the Raphael
of the Kitchen"
The Spanish sauce is composed of
juices extracted from a mixture of
ham. veal, chicken and pheasant. We
louie is similar. but is not colored.
Bechamel is Veloute to which cream
has been added. and the German sauce
is Veloute plus the yolks of eggs

Royal Bakery
Is Burglarized

The Royal Bakery was entered
from the rear Thursday night last.
The cash drawer was opened and the
room showed that every drawer had
been searched for money, but none
had been left in the place and moth
ing was taken, so far as could be de-
termined. That it was not the work
of hoboes, but rather of profession
ais, would seem indicated by the fail
ure to take eatables. No hobo could
have passed up bake shop without
at least sampling the pies. The
building was entered by breaking a
glass in the door and turning the
key, again emphasizing the lack of
security of glass door in the rear
of a business building.
