PIANO REQUIRES CARE H-HUID 8 INBTRUMEIYT EXCEEDINGLY QUICK TO RESENT NEGLECT. Subject In a 'Jeqree to tho Extremes of Atmoopbeee—Lime in the tn tee ter Win ft<even* Rurtlng of Un, Wire*. The ptaao la often uegb-ued by the otherwise careful housewife, for the simple reason that her attention is seldom, if over, called to Its care It seems so aon» if the tuner arrives pertodfca.lly and the instrument is carefully dusted that is all there is to tho cans of the piano However, the piano is a very delicate tnotruiiw-nt, os all musicianknow, and requires very watchful care. Tho first consideration Is the position of the piano. Often the only object In placing a piano is to have the best Itght fall on the muaic rack. But the pta.no should not bo placed too near the outer wall, the fireplace or radls tor, as ft Is subject to the influences of the atmosphere. Extreme heat and extreme cold ar, very harmful to the piano. If one wishes to have a musical instrument In the best of condition and to keep . It so. an even temperature should be ’ maintained in the room where it itands If there Is too much moisture ' In the atmosphere the wires become rusty,, if there is too much heat the musical adjustment will be injured as well as tho wood in tho case. The rusting of the wire* can be prevented by sprinkling them with lime or by placing a bag of unslacked linn in the interior tc absorb the moisture When the atmosphere becomes too dry ft is well to have a plant In tin room that requires plenty of water A jar of water kept in the room helps by evaporation. Heavy articles should never be placed on the top of the piano nor should music or becks b< piled there, either. The keys should be wiped dally, when the piano is dusted, with a cloth dampened with alcohol. If this plan Is followed there is less likelihood of thetr turning yelk>w. If the keys are soiled a cloth dipped in whiting and rubbed with alcohol will he found excellent for cleaning them. When the keys have become very yellow and need to be bleached try the following Make a paste of unsla< ked lime and bran water. It should be applied and »llow«d to dry slightly. It should then be rubbed off with a cloth, and mag nesia powder applled’to the keys until Iry. In a few minutes the keys can be polished to a high luster. Then eare should be taken to present moths getting into the piano. Prevention is always worth while. In ■Jiis case the carpet under the piano «ho«ild be sprinkled with camphor and ground moth balls placed on the floor inderneath. A bag of camphor balls thoold be suspended from a nail driven n the outside of the piano. If moths do get into the piano make i mixture of benzoline and turpentine ising seven parts of benzoline to one >f turpentine and add a drop or two >f lavender water I’ae a small sc< nt <pray or an old syringe to squirt this . nto the piano Dealers In pianos say that the best way, as well as the most satisfactory way to clean a piano is to simply wash It In luke warm water, drying each part briskly and nibbing it thoroughly lust after it Is washed. A chamois ,kln can b« used to advantage here This method leaves the polish absoutely uninjured. Aiiiiroiimni in— - Coqullles of Fish.
