BARON MIARLAND'S DEATH OM A PIANO
STOOL AFTER A WONDROUS CURST
OF MELODY.
I cannot tell you the name he was
known by here, for others bear it still,
and it were better that it were forgot
ten. He was the natural son of the late
King of Wurtemburg, and his mother
was the only woman that the King
ever truly loved, but royalty has its
slavery more galling at times than the
fetters of the lowest bondman, and
reasons of state compelled a lofiicr
alliance for his Majesty.
The boy, who had been given by
courtesy title of the Baron Uharland,
grew up, surrounded by every advant
age that wealth and favor could insure
him. As his tastes began to form
them selves, he developed a passion
for music, which was fostered and aid
ed by all that celebrated masters could
impart.
Introduced under such favorable
auspi cs, the young musician might
have enjoyed a brilliant career, but
upon the establishment of the North
(lerman Federation the King of
Wurtemburg found his power and in
come much curtailed, care and anxiety
finally brought on a fatal illness, and
the King after years of poverty in
Faris, passed away, leaving the young
natural son wholly unprovided for.
Karl came to America soon after
and at once secured a splendid posi
tion among the piano masters of New
York. His pupils were from the
Wealthiest and oldest families and his
fees were princely. But soon his fatal
weakness began to develop a love
for drink and debauchery.
Constantly falling into new trouble
and disgrace, repeatedly disappointing
his wealthy pupils, and neglecting all
social and professional duties, he soon
began to loose caste and was compell
ed to content himself with a poorer
class of patrons.
These, too, he neglected, disap
pointed and disgusted, and falling
lower and lower in the social scale, he
was reduced to the lowest and most
disreputable professional work, and
even in the. meanest position his dis
solute habits were constantly bringing
him into disgrace, although when seat
ed before the piano, even in his most
sottish state, his genius would assert
itself, and he still charmed his hearers
with his brilliant music, while his slov
enly disreputable appearance disgusted
every one near.
We lost sight of him for many years,
but one cold, dreary day in December
the last of the year, Mr. Shermer, the
Boston music dealer, was crossing the
Common with a friend, when the latter
pointed out a wretched, bloated tramp
seated upon one of the benches by the
pathway.
"Do you not recognize that man?"
asked the friend.
"No indeed." replied Mr Shermer
"Why should 1? '
'Because it is Karl
the natur
al son of the King of Wurtemburg."
"My God!" exclaimed Shermer, in
in a tone of horror, for he had known
Karl in his best and brightest days.
. That evening the clerks at Shermer's
place were surprised to see a filthy,
besotted vagabond shuffle into the
store and with a vacant, dreamy look
in his eyes walk toward a grand piano
that stood near the door.
"We have nothing for you," said
a clerk, sharply, to the disreputable
looking creature.
"I don't want any money," said the
tramp, in a thick, husky voice. "I
only want to sit down before a piano."
The superintendent was called from
his office and informed of the strange
request of the squalid intruder, and
from pure curosity allowed the outcast
to have his way.
"God bless you," said the vagrant,
and with a weary sigh he seated him
self before the splended instrument
and with fingers stiffened by want of
practice, but with the expression and
soul of a true artist, began the open
ing strains of the moonlight sonata of
Beethoven.
Clerks, customers and workmen,
every one in the establishment drop
ped their occupation and talk to listen
to the tender, soulful lones that rolled
forth from beneath the hands of the
besotted outcast.
At last the sonata was finished and
the wretched creature raised his head
upon his hands and bent over the
piano. .So long and silent he sat there
that at last one of the salesmen, think
ing the man had dropped asleep,
stepped up to the bowed figure and
shook him gently by the arm. As he
did so the head fell back and display
ed a face all white and rigid, from
which the wide open eyes stared fix
edly. Karl was dead!
This is no fancy sketch, butan inci-J

dent too true. The love of his art
struggling through the debasing effects
of debauchery had impelled him once
more before he died to pour out his
soul in one last burst of harmony.

How to Take Care of a Piano.
With proper care and attention a
good piano should last a family a life
time, says Charles H. Steinway, the
piano manufacturer, in the January
fjidtes' Homo Journal. If this is
not given it. the piano will in time
become harsh and "tin-panny," and
afford little satisfaction or delight to
its owner. Ordinary practice, whether
by a child or a grown-up person, will
not injure a piano in any way. It is
not necessary to be a professional
piano player, and to know exactly with
what force to strike the keys in order
to keep the instrument in' good con
dition. Of course, it will not be
improved by thumping the case, or by
striking the keys with any hard sub
stance. Neither does this remark ap
ply to schools and institutions where
playing is taught and the instrument is
used continuously for ten or twelve
hours every day. In the latter case
the felt portions will wear out sooner
than if it was used in a private family.
The matter of tuning should not
be neglected, and should never be in
trusted to any other than an experienc
ed person. Incapable tuners very of
ten work irreparable injury to the most
perfect and costly instruments. Dur
ing the first year a new piano should
be tuned every three or four months
at least. After that it will only be
necessary to have it tuned at longer
intervals.
Dampness is the most dangerous
enemy the piano has to contend
against, and for this reason the climate
must be considered. If the instru
ment is placed in a damp room, or
left open in a draught of air, the result
will be that the strings, tuning-pins,
and the various metal parts will be
come coated with rust, and the cloth
used in the construction of the keys
and action, becomes swollen. It is
positively painful to play on such a
piano. .
Does Experience Count.
It does, in every line of business,
and especially in compounding and
preparing medicines. This is illustrat
ed in the great superiority of Hood's
Sarsaparilla over other preparations, as
shown by the remarkable cures it has
accomplised.
The head of the firm of C. I.JHood &
Co. is a thoroughly competent and ex
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also
a member of the Massachusetts and
American Pharmaceutical Associations
and continues actively devoted to
supervising the preparation of and
managing the business connected with,
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla is built
upon the most substantial foundation.
In its preparation there is represented
all the knowledge which modern re
search in medical science has develop
ed, combined with long experience,
brainwork and experiment. It is only '
necessary to give this medicine a fair
trial to realize its great curative value.
It would be a fitting cap stone to the
monument of his life if, by some strange
turn of the whirligig of time, Prince
Bismarck shoi-ld again be landed in
the premiership of Germany; yet it is ;
by no means beyond the range of pos
sibilities that this very thing should j
come to pass. The people of Ger-!
many are becoming restive, and there
is an undercurrent that is daily grow
ing which sets strongly in favor of
once more placing the helm of the !
ship of state in the hands of the Iron
Chancellor. That a crisis is imminent
Is foreseen by all, and the aged states- j
man may yet triumph over his enemies
by once more being called to the head 1
of the government. J

lic for a timo and traverse tlio luKed
country where doer ' ami other k'o
worthy of n true sportonnn's riflo are
found in greatest numher. Ho is 0110 of
tlio authorities upon hunting inWusli
Jnton, and has on hand a stock of stor
if of tho chase which never scorns t
fail
"Tho season lasts from fieptemher 13
to Decenilter 15, and IivIaw-Jog limiting
Is entirely prohibited. Tho only way
permissible to fullow the game in by
what is known as still hunting, or pur
suing it without the aid of dos. In
my opinion there Is more sport hunting
deer in that way anyhow. Whon dogs
tiro used to scent for tho 111 tlio gunner
has to sit all day on a stand which they
are likely to pass. He musn't make a
noise for fear the deer may hear him
nnd lto turned away. Half the time he
doesn't know whether tlio dogs have a
trail or not, and so ho has a cheerless
timo of it waiting to get a shot Instill
hunting, now, thegunuorison tho move.
Ho searches for tho deer ns liest ho can,
nnd tries to got within range for a shot
as soon as ho dotects ono. At this timo
tho does nnd fawns nro usually found
hiding in flats and brushes along the
AllcKlianics tiinl their foothills, while
tlio bucks are higher up in more exposod
places.
"If an inexperienced hunter wants to
start out after deer it will not bo worth
while for him to go at nil if he Intends
to rely upon his own skill and knowl
ede;o. Ho wouldnt't kilt one doer in five
years alone. No matt?r if ho is a good
shot and has iiad experience in search
ing for other game, he ought by nil
means to tako some ono nlong with him
who is skilled in hunting doer. In our
country such men can bo found, and
with tlioir assistance a green hand can
ninuage to huvo some sport Tho
hunter will need a good liflo to begin
with. As to his go.icrnl outllt beyond
that I become mora thoroughly con
vinced tin longer I hunt dour that it
oulit to bo ns light nnd simple ns possi
ble. Expensive equipment in grout
Variety can be had, but the best garb I
know of is n thick comfortable old suit
of clothes. I lay nsido an old suit every
rear especially to use in hunting. It is,
Letter to have two tuits in cone it should
bo necessary to change in bad weather.
An old heavy pair of shoes is needed
also, A pocket knife is the best kind to
carry for hunting, because it answers all
purposes. "
The Senator reached into his trousers
pocket nnd pulled out a honvy knife
with a stout horn handle. One of its
blades was three inches long, broad,
keen, and of the finest metul. The
other two were smaller and less formid
able in appearance. "That's tho kiud
of knifo I use," he continued. "I've
had this one out only three times, but I
always carry some such instrument
Tho large blade is first rato for dressing
and fixing up a dear, while tho smaller
ones can bo usod for ordinary purposes.
Accommodations for hunters can gen
erally bo hail in houses convenient to tlio
grounds. In order to provido for any
thing which may turn up, however, it is
better to take along two good blanket),
or, better still, a heavy comfort.
Enough light oilcloth for use when it
becomes necessary to sleep on tho ground
is also a good thing. Whore hunters go
Into a regular camp it is usual to carry
hay for a bed on the earth iu order to
keep out dampness.
"To make a bed the hay can be stirred
up, dried before a firo, nnd spread out
with the oilcloth, stretched over it and
the blankets next A hunter can then
lie down and sloop ns comfortably as in
his own home. It is usual to take horses
on a trip, and they can carry a large
quantity of hay puckod into a small
space. The glamour nnd falsa ideas
about hunting which get into the heads
of some people nro upset by experience.
The notion thnt to have a rough time is
to have a good one may be well enough
for some things, but if a man is hungry
he wants the best he can get to eat, and
he likes to sleep on an easy coucli no
matter how tired ha may bo,
"The manner of finding door is tho
hard part of hunting. It depends en
tirely upon tho locality, and the first
thing is to know the haunts of the game.
The only certain means is by tracking
when suow is ou the ground. The deer
is harder to approach than the fox. I've
hunted both, and regnrd that statement
as proved. The deer's sense of smell is
refined and his hearing intensely acute.
If the wiud is blowing from the hunter
toward him he is sure to find the pur
suer out He is looking for the man as
much as the man is looking for him, A
great point in still hunting is to see all
ahead of you, and make sure that noth
ing ahead sees you. The hunter must
be the moving object The deer usu
ally resort to wild and inaccessible
places, and in such localities a hunter
will have the best luck. Where there
are rough crags and projections there is
a good chance to hide, and creep up on
the game.
"One way to get a shot at a deer is to
watch near a salt liok. The best time
for hunting by that means is in hot and
dry weather, for then the deer seem to
need salt more than under any other
conditions. Night is tho best timo for
the game to come, out Most licks are
natural, as, for instance, places where
cattle are salted in the mountains. Sul
phur water often contains a small pro
portion of salt. Sometimes where salt
is placed for cattle year nf ler year the
ground becomes saturated with it It is
usual to make a firo near tho lick, so
that thn gunner can see his game, nnd
the watchers lay in wait near by, so that
the wind will Mow toward them. Iloer

that lliere are not half so many to bo

A Clever Contrivance to Ttegnlln the Tn
nooont Minnow Into Acting ns Unit.
Many a time what promised to be a
fine day's fishing has been spoiled by a
long ami tedious hunt for the proper
kind of bait with which to nngle. A
pair of boot heels sticking up through
tho griiss by tlio side of a brook and one
long rumbling growl of profanity issu
ing seemingly from under the earth is a
familiar indication to a large number of
pooplo who have "been there " them
selves that somo ardent and irritable
fisherman is lying there on his face, try
ing to keep out of night of the timid
minnows he wants to scoop up out of the
stream nt one dash, cud then be off.
But tho little minnows nre iu 110 hurry.
They dart away at the sight of his un
familiar scoop net nnd lio under tho
farther bank wriggling their littlo tails
tnutalizingly. Now the fisherman
wixhos he had taken timo by tho fore
It ck and socured his bait on the day be
fore he was to start on his expedition.
He reviles Ids procrastination as the
minutes slip by and the hot sun beats
ou his back, nnd he resolves never to do
it ngnlu. But this does not mollify the
minnows iu the least, and the scene
generally ends by tho angler going off
furious, with only a few miserable little
fellows in his can.
An ingenious inventor has come to the
relief of fishermen lately by producing
a minnow trap that is hard to beat
First of all it is wholly composed of
transparent, colorless gloss, and is in
shape much like a big cartridge with a
pointed bullet iu it It is about two
and otio-half foet long, and as big
around as a man's leg above the knee.
It is hollow, of course, and what would
be the flat end of a cartridge is punched
in like tlio bottom of a glass bottle, and
there is a small round hole in the apex
of the cono thus made. The other nnd
the pointed end of the trap is fitted with
a little sliding door. This big glass
cnrtiidgo is intended to be set on its
side in the bottom of a I rook where
minnows nbound. The cautious ones
Boon become accustomed to it, and the
reckless follows don't see it till they
bump their noses against it Somo nice
bait is put inside tho trap, nnd the min
nows soon find tlioir way into it through
the punched in end. The littlo door at
the other end is shut, of course.
The minnows uro unable to find their
way out, becauso they follow the sides
of the trap, nnd this lends into the
cut do sac at tho flat end, nil around tho
bottom of tho cone. They aro easily
poured ont, howover, with the water in
tho trap by holding the thing up, pointed
end down, and opening tho little slide
door. Wire is twisted around the out
side of the trap, and forms a handle by
which it is conveniently carried, and tho
wire also protects the glass from injury.
A Duet fur Ruink.
An original genius nsks whether it has
ever been proposed to have a smoke duct
running through a town connected with
the different furnaces. He suggests that
such a duct might be carried outside of
the city to a condensing station, an ex
haust machine being employed to force
the draught At the condensing station
the soot laden air might be made to pass
through water, and thus deposit the
solid matter, the air passing away com.
parutlvely pure, while the soot thus
deposited might easily be collected,
caked, and sold as fuel The size of the
duct would have to vary, as in water
and other mains, according to the work
to be performed. '
