How ti Trent IT."
A skilled pianist nevor nllcws Ills
beloved instrument to staud up against
the wall in his room, a ripawsof at loast
a foot being allowed, nuy a music
dealer. This is to prevout damp and
allow a passage of dry, warm air. The
' precaution is especially nojcssary in a
briolc house where tho wall 5b 'an outr
fildo one. Ilrtclcs aro tiuything but
damp proof, and unlovi tho wall is
"furred" there will bo considerable,
dampness, especially when tho first
flre'ls lighted for the fall. Dampness
Is fatal to a piano, because, among
other reasons, tho rosewood used in
making tho frame is tropical wood,
,ar.d notcapab'o of resisting uioisturo
for any length of Unit.
In n carelessly kept piano tho polis.li
is bud, and the varnish looks as though
nn ai my of insets had been at work
on It. This h bo 'nnso the wood has
, stretched and shrunk with gre.it
rapidity owing to getting damp and
than J&liig dilcd again, and a musi
cian seldom enres to buy huefi an in
.sthinrtfnt, knowing that tho delicate
interior has buffered at least to some
flxj,eht with the exterior. Taking
,barb of 11 plnno is lialf tho battle, and
llie less dampness tho less expenditure
