(D. C. ) Messenger. WASHING A PIANO. te Warm Water, a t'ake of Snap and a Flannel ftnffltilfl Watch the Itesiilt. Having Ix-en told rcixntedly that tlie lesit way to clean a piano was to wash it with soap and water, I somehow never could quite make up my mind to try it after all, for it seemed as though the soapy water must surely sjKiil the brilliant polish in spite of all assurances to the con trary. But when our lieautiful pi ano began to look dull and milky, and I reali nod that the time had come when something must be done if I would have it restored to ita pris tine splendor, I determined to find out if possible, all about it. and then to make the experiment resolutely if I became convinced that it really was the best way. Accordingly, the first opportunity which presented itself was taken to ask the piano tuner about it, knowing that he was sent out by one of the oldest and most reliable firms in the country. "Certainly, " he replied, in n tone so convincing as to quite banish doubts. ' Just let me luive a dish of tepid, soft water a cake of soap and three piocos of clean, sleazy can ton flannel. " When I had brought tho articles designated he at once proceeded to show how it was to be done. " Take the first piece of cloth and wet it, " he said,suiting the action to the word j " then rub it over the cake of soap and apply it to the A- ano a small portion of the surface at a time. Next wet the second piece, and with this rub off the soap as thoroughly as possible. With third piece dry the part rubbing it till it shines brightly, and do it all as quickly as possible, that tho soap may not remain too long upon the polished surface. " I was delighted with the result, and no longer felt any hesitation about continuing the wor k that he had begun. If one is very sure to get a thin,cheap canton fiannol, and is careful to follow directions as here given them, Buccess is certain. The Old Oaken Bucket. A teacher in the primary school of a Western city recently read to her pupils " The Old Oaken Bucket " After expla ining it to them very care fully, she ask them to copy the first stanza from the hlackboard and try to illustrate it hy drawings , as the artist illustrates a story. Pretty soon one littto girl handed in her b(xk with several little dots and three hucketa. "I do not "understand this, Bes sie sain tno teacher. " yviiat is that circle? " " Oh, that's the well, " was the reply. " And why do you have three huckets? " "Oh, one is the oaken bucket. one is the iron-hound hucket, and the other is the hncket that hung in the well. " But what are the little dots? ' "Why, those are the spots which my Infancy knew. Only One letter Wrong. " It s strange what a rumpus a little mistake can stir up, " said the proof-reader, reflectively. "What's the matter now? asked the copyholder. "Oh, just a little slip in that ar ticle about collectors of bric-a-brac, explained the proofreader. " A mere trifle, but the fellow is making an awful roar about it. " What was the mistake? " , " Why, according to the copy, the paragraph that has made all the trouble should have read : Professor Jenkyns has devoted years of his life and a vast amount of money in fact, almost impoverishing himself in order to make the finest collection of jugs now in existence. " And I suppose his name was spelled wrong, " said tho copyhol der. " Those professors are mighty cranky and particular about their names. " No " returned tho proofreader ; it wasn t the name. The compost tor got an 'a' for a 'u' in jugs, and I tailed to eaten t. unicago rest. Th Duck Business. Mr. Cleveland's domestic policy is also assuming a vigorous charac ter.
