Eour-Handed TMn.Grand Piano.

Eour-Handed TWfn-Grand Piano.
A twin-grand piano, the first Of Its
kind ever constructed, was recently
demonstrated at an orchestral con-
cert, at Leipzig, Germany. This novel
instrument. Of which q photograph
appears in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, is like two grand pianos placed
end to end and inclosed in one
frame, excepting that It has only one
soundboaFd. Consequently, the key
boards are at opposite ends, and the
players face one another. The sound
board Is constructed 50 that there is
no intermingling Of sound waves.

Charged water, such as apollinaris or
ginger ale, help to convert a simple
"fruitade" into a punch for occa-
sions when festive drink is appropri-
ate, but the fruit juices, diluted with
water only and well chilled. are very
refreshing.
Special Recipe Not Necessary.
A special recipe is not necessary to
make fruitade. Any single -predomi-
nant flavor may give it its name
raspberry, grape, pineapple or orange ;
often four or five fruits are blended
in approximately equal quantities. The
flavor Of peaches combines well with
pear juice, pineapple, orange and

The amount of water added depends
somewhat on the kinds Of fruit used
and also, on the preference Of the
"taster." A preponderance Of very
acid juices-lemon or lime-will stand
more dilution than the milder flavors
In general, one part Of water to one
Of mixed fruit juice can be tried at
first, and more water added If 1t seems
desirable. Tea may be substituted for
about 'one-third Of the water If the
punch is made for adults; If children
are to have any, it is better to omit
tea. The individual taste must be the
guide in sweetening.
Sugar should be added to fruit
drinks In the form of strip, to get the
best effect, as well as to use 1t in the
most economical way. Two parts Of
sugar to one Of water should be SIM
mered for five minutes and then
cooled before adding to the other in
gradients. Sugar strip can be pre-
pared for several days at time, and
kept bottled in the refrigerator; left
over fruit juices may also be boiled
with sugar and kept in a cold place
for short periods until one has enough
on hand to make up good fruitade.
