Development OF THE PIANO
Centuries of Invention Have Been
Needed to Bring 1t to Present
State Of Perfection.

Have you ever thought, when play
ing ONE melodious sonata upon your
piJ o, that the instrument, as It Is
to- day, is the perfection of centuries
rJf invention?
In the beginning it was a harp
shaped piece Of wood, having two or
three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
cithara was invented. This was an
instrument in the shape IF a capital
P, with ten strings stretched across
the open space Many centuries after
ward musicians conceived the idea
of stretching strings across an open
box. About the year 1900 this was
done, the dulcimer made it's appear
ance, and the strings were struck
with hammers.
For another hundred years or so
these hammers were held In the
hands, and then some genius invented
keyboard, which, being struck by
the fingers, caused the hammers to
strike the strings. This was called a
ciavicytherium, or keyed cithara, and
from time to time it was modified and
| improved.
During Queen Elizabeth's time It
was called virginia., and then q
spinet, because the hammers were
covered with the spines Of quilts
which struck and caught the strings
and produced the sound.
During the period between 100 and
1900 it was much improved and en-
larged, and was given the name Of
harpsichord. 1t was in ITO thai
bartholomew Christofoll, an Italian
invented a keyboard similar to the
one we have now, which causes the
hammers to strike the wires from
above, and thus developed the piano
During the last century the inWn
tive genius Of musicians the worlt
over has revised and improved 1t until
It has reached the prssent-daZ PEI
fectign.

THE CASE OF THE FARMER

Your correspondent, Mr.. Klang, in
a letter entitled, Soft Snaps and I'm
employment" advises young man to
study agriculture and become farm
err Let us assume that the would
be farmer has $4,000 to $500 to invest
in a farm, takes a short course in ag-
riculture, then hires himself out as a
Farmland to a practical farmer for
two years to gain experience-here's
what will happen to him:
He will have to work from sunrise
to sunset at hard manual labor, Wag-
es ten to twenty dollars a month, and
board. He will have to eat the cOars-
est food at a separate table and will
be put to bed in the barn, practically
like a social outcast. If he is game,
and eventually starts out for himself,
the question of returns on capital and
labor have to be considered. Well,
previous to this writing, one Of your
readers sent in report of Florida

Philadelphia market After deduct
ing freight and commission, the com

LOOKING UPWARD

In spite of some curtailment of or
ders for merchandise affected by
pending tariff changes, the unusually
favorable crop conditions have result
ed in a marked increase of confidence
throughout the west and south. The
passage of the tariff bill by the house
of representative brings the end of
this element of uncertainty measure
bly, nearer. Meanwhile, it is a most
encouraging fact that reports from 80
cities show gain in building activity
for April of l per cent, as compared
with the same month in 1912. a heavy
decrease at New York City being
more than offset by gains elsewhere,
particularly at Chicago, and at most
points in the west and on the Pacific
Review.

WILL WHITE SUPERCEDE BLACK
FOR MOURNING?

For several seasons past all the
smart shops have been showing white
mourning costumes, bonnets and wells
and for many reasons they are prefer
able to the black mourning costumes,
and we hope that it will not be long
before this style is universally adopt
ed, especially in the south and par
ticularly in our own state Most of
the white wells are of net, with white
crepe borders. For first mourning
there are large coarse mesh with wide
crepe border. 1t is probable that white
crepe and other mourning fabrics in
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they have
been satisfactorily used by SO many
White crepe is a very beautiful fab
ric and the process of water-proofing
to which English crepe is subjected
has made it practical
1t Is now simply a matter of choice
between black and white mourning
The Introduction of crepe in the body
of the hat or in the veil or trimming
is significant of mourning and makes
these models appropriate for first or
deep mourning. Crepe is the only
fabric everywhere acknowledged as
correct for this purpose.
