Playing fcjr sweeplnar the Striata
With k Feather,
Upon wldo jour plauo no that the
wires are exposal. Over the wlros
place sheets of music, ami wheu you
strike a tow you will (liul that It has
a rattling sound. If now you play
tune In the same niannor. with the
sheets of music still lying on Uio
strings. It will sound as If the lustru-
Bieut were a haujo. Auyhow, It Is a
good Imitation.
Now remove the music sheets ami
press down gently, but nnuly, the
keys belonging to any cord. Take the
simple cord 0, E, t;, for example.
The keys must be pressed down, with
out sounding ibem ami held down
while some one gently brushes the
triugs with a feather or a straw. The
effect will he as If the cord were play
ed far away and Is tieard ly you as
very soft tones.
Change the cord, always presslug
down the keys without souudlng them,
while the feather still sweeps the
triugs lightly. In this way you may
modulate or play a slow piece, and the
effect will be very beautiful. Indeed, as
if heard from a great distance.
The reason of this is that ordinarily
a damper rests against each string.
but wneu the erreKudlng key Is
struck or pressed down the damper Is
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather, lightly, only the strings
that are umlauipered sound, the others
being held mute by the dampers, but
If the touch of the feather Is too heavy
even the other strings may souud. so
your care must be In making a light
and delicate touch.
Now press down a key gently and
hold it. Strike very hard the octave
above this key, but do not hold it after
striking the tone. When the wire ol
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered, so that it does not sound so
loud, the pressed down key will b
beard to "sing-" dearly, eveu though
It was not struck, nils Is because
every note struck Is composed of sev
eral notes, beiug iu reality a cord In
Itself, and. each note contained in that
cord causes the corresponding note In
the keyboard to vibrate, or "sing," In
sympathy If held down in like man
ner. The other notes that will sound undet
these conditions will always be the
fifth above the octave, the second oc
tave and the third and fifth above that,
and these tones that sound are called
"overtones."
For Illustration, if (' in the lower
part of the piano le struck, any or all
of the notes that follow will sound If
their keys are first pressed and held
down. Philadelphia Tress.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
When you are all done but finishing
you are Just half done.
If you have time to boast about be
ing worked to death, you have not
much to do.
Some people are so unfortunate that
their troubles make people laugh in
stead of cry.
A man who underestimates himself
may be tiresome, but he Is not a cir
cumstance to the man who brags.
People may disdain u compliment,
but they feel a tender little spot in
them where it hit and refused to be
dislodged.
It is a theory growing in conviction
that the man who says a mean thing
about another isn't as mean as the man
who carries it.
The man who travels over the path
behind you wisely looks at your foot
prints and sees where you could have
avoided many a pitfall. - Atchison

Tin 7 Treea.
The midget of the whole tree family
Is the Greenland birch, it is a perfect
tree iu every sense of that term and
lives Its allotted number of years from
75 to 180 Just as other species of the
great birch family do, although its
height under the most favorable condi
tions seldom exceeds ten Inches. Whole
bluffs of the east and southeast coast
of Greenland are covered with "thick
ets" of this diminutive species of
woody plant, and In many places
where the soil Is uncommonly poor and
frozen from eight to ten months a year
a "forest'' of these trees will flourish
for half a century without growing to
a height exceeding four inches.

Variety la Olet Mereaaary to Wall
Belaar of Kawln,
Much Is continually being writteu In
papers deallug with poultry as to tin
correct feeding of fowls, but when alt
li said and done the gist of the advice
resolves Itself Into this; (ilvc enough
nourishing food, and give variety. Tc
our thinking, not enough stress Is laid
on the latter point. The dietary whkl
has been decided upon may coutala
Just the right umouut of alhumlnolda
etc., which Is considered to I the thing
for correct feeding, but If this "bal
anced ration" be glveu for any length ol
time without variation the fowls wit
tiro of It. It w ill thou lose Its value
aa a food, ami the object with which
It was glveu will be partly defeated.
Any poultry keeper who gives tb
matter a moment's thought and wh
at all studies the comfort and well
being of his stink will be careful tc
avoid mouotony In the food given.
Where as much variety as possible ii
given and clean grit, water and green
food supplied the danger from stale
ground will not lie nearly so great ai
when these essential are ueglected.
I find wheu you are trying to get 1
profit out of the fowls It Is a very
good plan to keep a large old pot aud
Into It put all your household scraps,
such as potato peelings, meat bones.
etc.. and boll all up and mix with
middlings and barley meal In equal
proportions. It furulshes them with a
nice hot breakfast aud saves buying so
much food, besides helping at this time
of the year to bring them on to lay. A
warm meal In the morning before you
let your hens out Is the main tblug.
and It Is very nice to feel there Is noth
ing being wasted lu the home, as fowls
will eat nearly everything. Another
good plan Is to try to buy your pain
In large quantities. It Is cheaper. II
you cannot go In for fowls on a large
scale, have them on a small oue, as
they are most useful. A. V. Meerscb
in Western Poultry Journal.
Partridge Wyandottes.
The Partridge a handsome fowl,
possessing all the characteristics of the
Wyandotte breed, but differing In color
of plumage, In which particular they
reproduce the coloring of the Partridge
Coohlu. The Partridge Wyandotte layi
larger eggs than auy of the other varl
etles, aud they are browner lu the shell
This can be accounted for by the fact
that other blood has been Introduced
to get the plumage, and the result la
seen in the Increase In size aud the
deeper color of the egg. The Introdue
tlon of entirely fresh blood always
tends to strengthen the egg organs, and
as a result all new varieties will be
found better layers than those breeds I
that have been established many yei.rs
Considerable skill is required In n at
lng in order to get the birds to ccme
true to type. Tbe cock should Lav a
rose comb, fitting closely to the bead
and the peak pointing dowuward to the
neck; eyes hazel, with a nice brown
ring round; face ai-d ear lobes red:
beak dark, striped vlfh yellow; neck,
hackles and saddle feathers a beautiful
dark lemon color, w;th black down the
center of each fi-uil.er. The shoulders
should Ik.' dark red; v lng bars brown,
edged with black; breast and thigh
feathers black sr.. I brown; tail black,
carried well beck; legs yellow, with
four toes on each f jot. London Mail.

Corn alone due not form a g'Kxl
food for laying lu-tis, for it tends tu
the production of too much fat. U
corn is allowed to form a large part of
the ration, a large amount of work
must be provided. This may be sup
plied by scattering the feed deeply In
litter, so that the fowls must scratch
for It Wheat formB a better food than
corn, but a mlxe1 ration Is the best.
The fowls not only relish a mixed ra
tion better, but urh a ration will be
more completely digested and asshnl-
lated than one composed of only one
kind of food. A ration made up of
corn, wheat, oats, barley, bran, shorts,
clover or other green food, such as
mangel wurzels, cabbage, etc., ground
fresh bone an J fresh meat scrtips
would when properly proportioned and
varied from we?k to week )n excellent
for egg production.
Selecting a Pare I)r-d Male,
In selecting a pure bred cockerel
there are ceriain characteristics that
should be looked tw. For instance, If
you want to Increase the laying powers
of any pure breed note carefully the
comb on the hlrd you are about to
a IU 1. . .... 1 t

laying pullets. A bird should be se
lected that lias a good sized comb for
the variety he represents, but this comb
should be rather thin and fine In tex
ture. Avoid a coarse grained, "beefy"
comb, whatever breed you may find
It on. Westorn Poultry Journal.
Separate the t.
If you make your nests in rows, side
by side, have a solid partition between
nests, for a sitting hen will steal every
egg In reach of her and have her nest
so full of her own ej-'gs and the stolen
ones that it will be Impossible to cover
them.
Success With Poultry.
Neither breed nor location nor capital
invested nor mere hard work alone
brings success in the poultry business.
They must be combined with each
other and with pure common sense.
Congressman Hepburn's intimation
that Congressman Cooper also is a liar
is cruelly unjust. Mr. Cooper lacks the
energy as well as the inclination for
such legislative enterprise.
