especially tine piano varnish almost instantly while the wood beneath contracts or ex pands at a different rate This splin ters the varnish and thus far no man ufacturer has been able ro get the best of the situation We are waiting for this entirely possible elastic varnish which when it shall come will be more welcome to the manufacturers of One furniture than the flying machine is to the world

dra matically than in the following little incident Grieg as every one knows is the musical idol of all Norwegians al though it has been the fashion of less talented outsiders to underrate him One of the most indefatigable of these detractors was the German composer Bargiel a man of an instinctively jeal ous nature One day one of his pupils a Norwe gian girl brought for her lesson a con certo of Griegs Bargiel took it from her with a smile of most superior dis dain But I told you to bring your music and Grieg is no music be said scorn fully What Grieg no music was the indignant reply Adieu
