THE PIANO'S SOUL. ft Is Imparted to tht Instrument by the "Scale." "Every piano factory," said a piano manufacturer, "employs what we piar kuo men call a 'scale.'

A writer in Fry's Magazine explains the origin and development of the jockey club, the most powerful and autocratic governing body that is to be found in the whole world of sport. The Jockey club has an enormous power anj jS feared and respected by all who are subservient to it, and yet nobody ever elected it or gave it its authority, But it is the ideal governing body for mcing.

But the prince believed that the accusation against Chlfney wag entirely wrong and unjust, and he determined to stand by him at any cost. Thereupon the three stewards f the club who were then in office were called upon to take action, an.l Sir Charles Bunbury, on behalf of them, intimated to his royal highness that if he retained Chifney in his service no gentleman could or would run against him." i Greatly incensed, he withdrew from the turf altogether and did not resume his patronage of it until nine mmn t-cs 1 n fnit JK-aia THE FIREPLACE.

Mrs. Sarah Collins said: "I used to bloat bo at times I could hardly get my breath, sour gases would form in my stomach and dull heavy headaches were at times so bad I felt I would go crazy; my tongue coated and I always had a bad taste in my mouth. My hands and feet were cold at times and at other times they would burn like fire, but, thank my good stars, after hearing so much about Root Juice, I went to the drug store and bought a bottle of it and after using the first bottle I went back and bought two more bottles.

The American Author. The chief thing in the average American novel Is the amazing vitality of the author. He writes always at the top of his voice. His strenuousness is unceasing. The reader can almost see the swollen veins on his forehead, the tight drawn mouth and flashing eye. It is do it or die. And he never knows where to stop. With his feverish anxiety to make points he does not seem to realize when he has achieved hf purpose and frequently fizzles out In effectively. He has ideas. He has vast quantities of material. He has a command of language, a fatal fluency that frequently leads to his downfall, for he lacks a sense of values. He lacks self restraint. He is full of tricks and artfulness, but he is not an artist. London Saturday Review. Well Preserved. "I told Miss Knox today." said he. "that the only word that properly described you was 'peach.'
