How Tali C ii- ii f n. With protier rnro and attention a good piano should last fsmily a lifetime. If this is not given It tlie piano will In Unit become harsh and "tin-panny," and afford hlLle satisfaction or delight to it tiwner. Ordinary practice, whether by a child or a grown up person, will not injur a plnno In any way. It Is not necessary to be a professional piano player and to know exactly with what fonw to strike the keys In order to keep the instrument in gtsid condition. Of oomwilt will not be improved by thumping tho rase or by striding th keys with any hard sulsitanoe. Neither does this remark apply to sch'sil and Institutions where playing Is taught, and the Instrument in used continuously for ten or twelve hours every day. In the hitler case the felt portions will wear out sooner than If It was used in pri vate family. The matter of tuning should not bo neglected, and should never be intrusted to any other than an experienced pron. Iiiebl tuners very often work irrep arable injury to the most perfect and costly Instruments. During tho first year a new piano should be tuned every three or four months at least, After that It will only 1st necessary to have It tuned at longer Intervals, Dampness Is the most dangerous en emy the piano has to conleud against, and for this reason the climate must be considered. If the Instrument is placed In a damp i-xim, or left open In a draught of air, the result will be Unit the strings, tuning plus and the various metal parte will become coated with rust, aud the cloth used in the construc tion of the key and action become swollen. It Is piaitlvely painful to play on such a piano. Charles U, Btelnwsy In Ladles' Home Journal. Prtuol Mw Vark's tJUrmry Wins. The literary woman of the past was called a blue stocking.
