'When Qneen .Elizabeth attempted to
raw from Sir James Melville come un
favorable comment Tjpon her Scottish
cousin's performance upon lute and vir
Sinai, he parried her thrusts by declaring
that "she played reasonably for a Queen."
Jfot content -with so non-commltal a re
ply, the subtle coquette planned one or
her delightful little Impromptus, hoping
therewith to surprise an unwilling compli
ment from the wily ambassador. She ac
cordingly caused Melville to he conducted

silence was unbroken save by the expres
sionless tlnklo of the virginal upon which
ehe was artlessly pouring out her soul.
Instantly divining the ruse, the canny
Scot suffered himself to be intruded into
the royal presence, protesting that the
music he had heard was of so exquisite a
Jcind that it had irresistibly drawn him
thither. Compliments sufficiently stimu
lating to the Queen's jaded sensibilities
were then showered upon her, but naught
derogatory to Mary's accomplishments
could be wrung from the master of equi
voque. This little incident but serves to
ilx tho date of the spinet or virginal, said
by many to have been named for this
Queen among virgins, by others to have
been so called simply "because maids
and virgins do most commonly play up
on them."
Whatever the derivation of the name of
the virginal, it is sufficient to know that
the instrument was one of the ancestors
of the modern piano. AH stringed ln
6truraents of whatever size, shape or
name, played by means of a keyboard,
were descended from the hapslchord
or virginal, or else from the clavichord,
and they differed from- each other in the
means by which their sounds were pro
duced and the consequent distinction in
the quality of their tone. In one class
eound was obtained by pressure and
shortening of the strings, while in the
other a similar result was achieved by
Italian Virginal, Sixteenth Century.

plucking the strings with quills or Jacks.
The clavichord traced its ancestry back
to the monochord, a primitive instrument
having a single string stretched over a
soundboard, upon which were marked the
divisions corresponding to the different
degrees of the scale, and a movable
bridge UEod for tho measurement of vl
fcrating lengths. As shown in the illus
tration the earliest monochords were
stretched by means of weights, some va
rieties mentioned by Greek theorists hav
ing as many as four strings. Soon a
primitive form of keyboard, such as had
been used with antiquated organs, was
applied to the monochord. In time the
movable brldgo was replaced by an up
right wedge attached to the key lever,
which, when tho key was pressed by the
Singer, struck the string, set it In vibra
tion and simultaneously shortened It to
tho length indicated by tho key's posi
tion. From this modified monochord there
was but a briof transition to the clavi
chord (from "clavls." a key. and "chor
da," a string), which. In spite of Its in
creasing number of keys and strings,

the 16th century. It was probably In ref
erence to this instrument thnt the fol-

Sembo to his daughter:

and companions desire -thee to learn to

eay to them that thou wlshest not to
make thyself ridiculous before them, and
content thyself with learning and handi

kept the rectangular box shape inherited
?rom the monochord, the strings were of
the same length an arrangement not
wlthoat its advantages, since it was
thus easier to keep the strings tunod In
unison. As the compass of the instru
ments increased this uniformity was

and thinner strings and longer and heavier-ones
to the lower tones. Naturally
the thinnest strings required the greatest
length. .For example, were the bass
strings of modem pianos of the same
thickness as the treble strings they would
have to be vastly lengthened in propor
tion. John Sebastian Bach always tuned
his own instruments, testing his system
in that famous collection of fugues and
preludes in all keys known as "the well
tempered clavichord."
Despite the agreeable sensitiveness of
the clavichord that "solitary, melan
choly, unspeakably sweet instrument"
there was a feeble tremulousness about
it which led to a desire for an instru
ment whose strings could be excited to
stronger vibrations. To meet this demand
a keyboard was added to the ancient
psaltery, and from this combination was
evolved the harpsichord, tho most Im
portant at all the keyboard predecessors
of tho piano. In this instrument the
keys were set in vibration by bard points
of shell or ivory, which when forced up
ward by tho depressed keys plucked or
twitched at the strings. After the ivory
points were replaced in the 15th century
by quills, the Instrument was called a
spinet, a name of double derivation, from
Splnnettl, a manufacturer of musical In
struments, and from "spina," a thorn, or
point.
The compass of the early keyboards was
but four and one-half octaves, and in the
old German instruments the coloring was
reversed, the raised keys being white and
the natural black. The harpsichord until
nearly tho close of the last century had
a place In the orchestra, where Its In
creased power atoned for Its monotonous
staccato. In Germany, however, It never
gained a strong foothold. Bach and Beeth
oven claiming that tone and expression
could best be controlled In the clavi
chord, which Instrument lent itself more
readily than the harpsichord to nicety
of execution. In the German househofd
it was also claimed that despite Its weak
ness the clavichord was "the comfort of
the sufferers and the sympathizing friend
of cheerfulness." Mozart's technique,
however, was that of the harpsichord.

maker, drove from the musical field both
the sensitive clavlchoard and its noisier
rival. Patterned after the trapeze-shaped
psaltery, whose sound was produced by
plucking the strings, the new instrument
was played like the dulcimer, by strik
ing with small hammers. To the develop
ments of Sllbermann of Dresden belong
almost as much credit as to the Invention
of Chrlstofori. Stung by the frank cen
suro of Bach, Sllbermann labored many
years to correct the heavy action and
weakness of the upper notes which char
acterized the first pianos. The new In
strument made its way but slowly be
cause of the novelty of its technique.
Chopin's appreciation of the Increased
tonal beauty obtained by use of the pedal,
and Beethoven's dramatic musical decla
mation, best described as "tone painting,"
did much to prove the superiority of this
instrument for vigor, sonorousness and
sustained melody. Its capabilities for
light and shads also commended It to the
general public, but It was not until metal
bracing was successfully used in Its con
struction that the piano definitely super
sedod Its predecessors. Metal was first
used for strengthening and then for mak
ing the entire frame, when it became
possible to secure the purest and most
brilliant notes by means of heavy strings

string of the modern Instrument Is thick
er than the thickest bass string of the
first pianos, whose tension was corre
spondingly slight when wood offered the
only resistance. The vast difference is
more readily appreciated when we realize
that the strings of tho modern grand
concert exert a force of 75,000 pounds,
only the polldity of the iron frame pre
venting its entire destruction.
Although the modern Instrument has
gained steadily in strength and mechan
ism. Its outward proportion and decora
tion have undoubtedly fallen from grace.
The four and a half octaves for which
tho finest of past music has been written
lent a comeliness of proportion sadly
lacking In the modern grand piano. While
the additional modern octaves add to the
thrillness of the treble and to the surli
ness of the bass of the concert hall piano,
for ordinary use the gain In compass Is
not commensurate "with the unwleldlness
of the Instrument. The "wing form" of
the modern grand superseded in the reign
of Queen Anne the earlier rectamrnlnr
forms. During the middle of the-lSth cen
tury many of the rectangular cases .were
sent to China, where thev were coated
with lacquer. "When this art was Imi
tated in Europe many cases were deco

tures painted as delicately as miniatures,
parts of the case being ornamented with
arabesques of gold upon a dark-colored

perfect wrn&t
Of mind and body was the Roman
Idea of perfect health. They de
fined this balance as Ka sound
mind in a sound body." A weak
or sickly body tends to drawdown
the mind to its own level. Keep
the body in health and the mind
will take care of itself. The health
of the body depends mainly on two
things: A sound stomach and pure
blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discover' preserves "the bal
ance of health, because at makes
the stomach strong and the blood
pare. People who had not had a
well day in years, nervous of body,
depressed of mind, have been pex
fectlv'cured by the use of "Golden
Medical Discovery."
"During the summer and fall of 1896 I
