Clear, incisive, resonant and power ful or beautifully shaded chord playing Is not very commonly heard. In addi tion to the proper muscular conditions and the mode of attack, which should be carefully considered, good chord playing requires a proper shape of the hand and fingers. The hand should be well arched so that the metacarpal points are elevated considerably above the second joints. The wrist must b« held high and the fingers well rounded, their third joints being perpendicular to the keys. With the hand in this po sition the fingers must be trained to re sist a very heavy pressure, as at the moment of attack in heavy chord play ing the weight of the body is thrown forcibly upon the i'nger tips. At this Instant there must not be the lenst give or weakening in any of the joints of the fingers, the elasticity and looseness being in the muscles of the wrist and arm. The playing fingers should be firmly set, while those not playing must be well extended in order to avoid the :i dental striking of adja cent keys, .i the hand is kept in the shape described, all the tones of the chord played will be of equal power, and when the hand and arm are raised the dampers will fall upon all the strings which have been struck at the same Instant, a thing that rarely hap pens in most of the chord playing that one hears. In playing a succession of chords the fingers must be shaped in the air wbilo going from one chord to the next, and this shaping must not In the least in terfere with the solidity of the hand or the proper condition of the muscles.— Etude.

The Romney coat is a most charming tiling and nicely adapted to late autumn when materialized in some old world tone of plum, brown or rifle green cloth, the high directoire collar faced over with velvet of har monizing hue and the whole effectively finished wiih embossed old silver, gilt or portrait buttons.

It happ. lied several years ago, but has not lost its interest even now in the Latin quarter. For some occult reason or inex plicable whim the masculine students dis approved of the sailor hats worn by the English and American girls and made themselves generally obnoxious by rude comments. One day the Kansas City girl was going to her little room from the ate lier where she studied. In one hand she carried a portfolio, in the other a tightly rolled umbrella. After a time she was followed by a sallow youth, whom she recognized as a poet and a leader in the warfare upon sailor hats. lie followed her block after block, loudly expressing his disapproval of the hat she wore, until she became exasperated beyond endur ance, especially as his objections took the form of paper and bread balls thrown at the offending chapeau. Ti'rning suddenly, but cnlinly, in front of a large cafe she asked sweetly, "Am I to understand tliaf you desire me to remove my hat, mon sieur?" The poet, long and lank of hait and lean of aspect, answered unhesitat ingly, "At once, mademoiselle." "In America," said mademoiselle, gen ially, "gentlemen always remove theii own hats in making a request of the la dies. Allow me!"

HOW MANY MILLIONS ARE SPENT., I Cfllm I.ouir More Snrrossfnl In Mak ing VotON TIIJIII lVrsonul AhnNi'. j M«»n Who tUv Republican uihl Democratic Literary i neat. Amid the blare of trumpets, the dis charge of fireworks, the strenuous ef forts of campaign orators and a vast output of political literature the Amer- | ican presidential campaign moves and has its being. The average voter see# | and hears these things without emo- j tion besides his partisan feeling, for I they represent to him only the effort to attract his vote. He does not usually ( stop to learn the enormous outlay of I money and brain power necessary to produce these results. Campaign literature particularly is a feature that deserves consideration. In no other country do the abstract ques tions at issue receive so much attention as in the United States. The national committees know that if the Ameri can voter is once convinced of the jus tice of their contentions his sympa thies will be enlisted and his vote gain ed. It is for this reason that personal abuse plays so very small a part in our campaigns. The astute political man agers know that calling the other fel low names will not gain as many vote* as a calm, reasonable presentation of irmm '!»« l S From hit latest photo. WILLIS J. ABBOT. the facts at issue. Incidentally it may be said that many of the contests of the past have not been so conducted, and in our political minds may be found many bitter attacks on both the views and the personalities of candi dates. Behind the outward manifestation* of the political engine exists a vast ma chinery whose operations extend to all parts of the land. From it are sent in to every nook and corner a flood of pamphlets, books, copies of speeches and various other ingeniously devised forms of argument. No man's mail ia safe in these days of political hustling, and voters are greeted with argument# at their breakfast tables, in their of fices and, in fact, everywhere. Each of the great parties has what is known as its literary bureau expressly for this purpose, and to it are brought the high est resources of editorial ability. In deed the labor expended by these bu reaus would suffice to run a large num ber of magazines. It is calculated that a presidential campaign costs about $10,000,000, and the largest portion of this goes for literature. Among the most important features of the work done by these literary bureaus Is the dissemination of matter to newspapers. Unusual ability has been enlisted by both the great parties in this cam paign. The head of the Democratic campaign bureau, Willis J. Abbot, hai had extensive experience as a journal r .....

Then, turning with your back to the wall, slowly bend under the pole, keeping the pole in its , first position and pressing hard down i ward with your hands. ! A Homemade TOT. If you've never tried to make a teeto ] turn, you certainly should do so now. I You commence by cutting the phosphorus end of a match and sharpening it as you | would a pencil. Having found a claret I cork, cut a thin slice crosswise and stick | the match through the middle of it. Meas j ure the cork across and then trim a round ' piece of cardboard till it is just four times as large as the cork. Divide the ! round card into four parts with a pencil ! and color each one differently with either paints or crayons. Then make a tiny hole in the center and slip the round card onto the match so that it rests on top of the cork. A second piece of c r rk a tritle thicker than the first should then be push ed onto the match to keep the card in i place. The teetotum will spin quite a long ! time if started with the finger and thumb, ! and it really looks very pretty if painted j in bright colors. Xile Water Wheel. Many large water wheels are to be found along the banks of the sacred river of Egypt. They are worked by means of oxen, and the wheel buckets are formed of earthenware jnrs or bottles. The bot tles steadily descend with their mouths i turned downward; they dip, fill, and then, THE WATER WIIEEL. in the turn of the wheel, come up to the surface of the water again quite full. The vessels, on arriving at the top of the wheel, empty their contents into a trough placed for the purpose of conveying the water to the garden or whatever laud it i may be desired to water. Where this wa j tering is done, or where the Nile reaches when It overflows its banks, the laud is beautifully green and productive, al though perhaps a yard farther off it is barren and sandy desert. How to Make niack Ink. With black ink selling at 5 cents or so a bottle it seems hardly worth while for one to use homemade ink, but the trouble is that nil black ink Is not black by any means. The following | recipe, however, which, by the way, is some 200 years old, tells you how to make a black ink that will not fade and which is dead black in hue. Here is the recipe: One quart of rainwater filtered j through a close woven cloth, three ounces of bruised galls, one and one half ounces of sulphate of iron (green copperas) and two and one-half ounces of gum nrabic. Coarsely powder the ! galls and put Into a bottle with the i other chemicals; stir them up and add the water. Securely close the bottle and place In the sunlight, letting the bottle stand until the gum arable and i copperas have dissolved, occasionally j stirring the contents to bring this I about. Shake the bottle each day for a month or six weeks, then add some I 20 drops of carbolic acid to prevent , mold, and your ink is ready for use.

Then why not make it a little larger | and have some to dispose of V It taki s ! but little more trouble when you drill peas to make the rows 100 or 200 feet j long instead of 50. The same thing • will apply to beets, cabbages, tomatoes, , cauliflower, sweet corn and, in fact, all the vegetables necessary to keep a j family supplied as they should be with nil the best in their season. Have a I good, long row of asparagus. It cornea j very early. Most families are fond of I it, and it will always find good sale. | l)o not forget a nice patch of the best j melons, both watermelons and musk ; melons. Do not have all of one vari ' ety, but have some early and others of I later and larger varieties. If you have ! a small patch of strawberries, why not have a larger one? Have several vari eties to lengthen out the season, and while a late frost may catch the early ones you will be pretty sure to have some good varieties. Then the rasp berries will be just coming on when I the strawberries are gone. Have the main crop of raspberries of the later varieties. Next will come the cherries, ! followed by plums and early and late apples. Then every farmer should ' raise a nice lot of chickens and, if pos sible, from 50 to I turkeys, all of which, if marketed with judgment, will be found a great help in paying the ex -1 penses of running the average farm. Improvement In Domestic Swine. The improvement of the domestic on | the wild hog has been very marked in many ways, in the opinion of The American Agriculturist. The long, nar row head with large, heavy ears has given place to the short, broad, thick head with the dished face, turned up nose and small, pointed ears not as I large as a man's hand. The back has , been straightened, the legs shortened | and the hams and shoulders made as ' broad as they are high. Another won- I derful Improvement has been in the disposition. The wild, vicious boar or sow which was dangerous to meet has become decile and gentle, so that a good brood sow with a litter of pigs is I as safe to handle as any other domestic i animal. Another improvement has been in the power of assimilation, so that while a pig of the present time does not consume any more food than one of the seventeenth century, it is able to convert a greater percentage of it into flesh and fat. The early maturing quality is one of the most Important differences between the two types. It is no longer customary to feed pigs for 18 months or two years to get them into market condition. They now attain the same weight In from 8 to 12 mouths. Working; Cattle. Before the days of coal and western beef working cattle were common on the hill farms of New England, says The Itural New Yo *ker. Wood brought a good price as fuel, and the cattle were invaluable for hauling it out ol the rough wood 1 >ts. After serving their purpose at tne yoke the cattle brought a good price as beef. Even when the price of wood fell and west ern beef found its way to every butch er shop within easy distance of a rail road there was a place on the farm for the working ox. lie was not fast enough for the new goner:.tion; but, as with other slow old things, it was a mistake to try to get rid of him en tirely. Tl-ere are many jobs on a hilly farm which the ox can do better than any other working partner. We would like to have a yoke right now to work among the roots and stumps at the back of the farm. It does not cost much to feed such cattle, and wherev er the land is rough and stony they will more than pay their way. Old Fowl* For KntiiiK". Farmers should eat more of the poul try that they grow. It is nearly al ways a high priced meat, says The American Cultivator, but it is so very largely because when young and well fattened the flesh is more easily digest ed than any other. Most of those who grow poultry content themselves, through mistaken ideas.of economy, with killing for home use only those that are old. tough and unsalable. These last, however, are not to be de spised, if cooked long enough over a slow fire *o reduce the muscular parts to tenderness. It is time rather than great heat that is required to make all old animals good to eat and to some tastes better than the young. All kinds of moat should be cooked long enough to make them tender. There is more nourishment in the old fowl than there is in a broiler, and if it is cooked long enough it will be quite as good. Cowi i e«H itm (iriM'n Manure. The Agricultural Epitomist says some of the farmers in the south have succeeded in growing larger crops after cowpeas when they have taken the vines oft for fodder and plowed under the roots and stubble than when they have plowed the whole crop under. It scarcely seems reasonable, and yet there may be abundant reason for it. But whether this is exact or not the crop of cowpeas and vines is esti mated to be worth about S2O per acre for fodder, and we should much prefer to feed it out and use the waste, the excrements of the cattle that eat it, to fertilize the soil with. Oranere Shirt*. The suggestion of a long time resi dent of India that orange colored shirts are one of the best protections against the sun's rays might be taken advan tage of here in the dog days. The statement is founded upon a fact known to every photographer, amateur or professional, who has covered the cracks of his dark room with orange paper or linen.

City people have a pretty hard time obtaining the air and sunlight which they should have in summer time. Yet even in the city man might be more comfortable than he Is if he would construct his dwelling properly with balconies and roof gardens. In the re cent building of apartments architects are appreciating the decorative use of the balcony and are substituting it for the ugly but necessary fire escape. One ten story apartment house put up last year has most artistic wrought iron balconies from the second to the top floor. These are overshadowed in sum mer time by awnings and are wide enough to hold steamer chairs, jardi nieres and even small tables. After sundown the male heads of the various households which Inhabit the building resort to these balconies to smoke, while the ladies In their light summer gowns enjoy there whatever breeze there may be afloat and sip lemonade or iced tea.

A NOVEL, IDEA. MRS HELEN ROOF, of Lima, Ohio, writes that she has supplied herself and three daughters with shirt waists and earned a beautifully decorated, 100 piece dinner-set, also a 24 piece silver-service, in three months, by simply getting a few friends and neighbors to try DIAMOND DIGEST TABLETS for Dyspepsia and Constipation. The premiums are certainly beautiful, and Mrs. Roof says she is over SSO ahead in useful household articles and wearing ap parel. What makes it so easy to earn these lovely presents is that DIAMOND DIGEST TABLETS are warranted to cure any case of Dyspepsia and restore the bowels and liver to perfectly natural action in two weeks or the money i 3 refunded. The tab lets do exactly what is claimed for them, and a few persons once started will use enough to secure you several lovely pre miums in a very short time. If you would like a beautiful shirt waist, very latest style, color and material, just send your name and address to the DIAMOND DRUO Co., 84 West Broadway, N. Y., requesting them to send vou eight boxes of tablets to be sold at 25c. a box, and get your father, mother, brothers, uncles, cousins or your aunts to take them with the understanding that they pay you if found good. This they will do and want more every time. Collect the $2 and send it in and receive your present. You can then get the 24 piece silver-service and 100 piece dinner-set in a very short time and absolutely without cost. This firm requires no money in ad vance and will mail tablets with premium offers merely upon request. ; D.i L, &W, RAILROAD.
