LONDON GOSSIP. ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. The piano is of very modern or com- pared with other musicaJ instruments, such as the harp, the bagpipes, or the harpsicord, but it is said that the pianola and other mechanical instruments are slowly but surely leading to the neglect of the art of pianoforte playing. The piano was invented in Italy just 200 years ago, but from the first the Germans have been pre-eminent among the nations for its manufacture. The earliest public, notice of the piano in this country was made in a Co vent Garden playbill, in 1767. The harp was known to the ancient Egyptians, and was common in Ireland and Scotland long before the bagpipes, which, con- trary to general belief, are said to be of English origin. The pipes to which Shakespeare often refers, were the Northumbrian pipes, which, although similar, were not the same as those of the Highlands. THE STREET ORGAN BUSINESS. The skirt, piano-organ is an improve- ment upon the old-time "hurdy-gurdy," and German band, but like other trades, it has its vicissitudes. For instance, one notices in the. lugubrious list of bank- rupts, a "proprietress of street, organs." On the other hand, during the recent bear- ing of an action at Torquay, it was stated that one of the parties, an Italian, earned as much as C60 a month in summer, by means of a piano-organ. We may be a nation of shopkeepers, but; as waiters, and street-organ grinders, the foreigner is nearly always on top, and it may be that this Italian had a particularly fine instru- ment, which was a musical treat. That, however, is not always the case, and it is because the, street organ is nowadays so commonly made the excuse for a thinly- veiled form of begging, that one often sees the notice displayed in the quiet Central London streets and squares, "Organs and street cries, prohibited near here." SPRING CLEANINGS. The spring-cleaning carnival never fails as an interesting subject for the cartoon- ist, who always pictures it as a sort of demoniacal invention, got up for the tor- ture of patient husbands. For the house- wife it is supposed to be pure selfish de- light, a time of real enjoyment, and the longer it lasts, the better. That is how the "mere man" presents the matter, with but little regard for the realities of the situation. Some women, it is true, are inclined to go to extremes, over the an- nual turn out, and if the house is kept scrupulously clean all the year round., there is no occasion to make this a formid- able business. In any case the men folk can generally more or less get away from it all. Some take a spring-cleaning1 holi- day to the advantage of all concerned, and the more speedy finishing of the work. There is no such escape for the housewife, who must superintend, if, she does not her- self have to do a, good deal of the. labour Of course much trouble may be. saved by the prine. pIer of doing one room at, a. time, but if the painters and whitewashers are in possession, that plan is very often im- possible REST CURES. For some time past doctors have been advising all women patients who can do so, to breakfast in bed. Such a, plan, they say, saves much wear and tear of the nerves, and no doubt they are quite right in this direction. It is to be, doubted, however, if leisured women generally will so cheerfully follow the latest medical decree, namely to stay in bed from Satur- day night. till Monday morning. Thirty- s'x consecutive hours rest weekly is ab- solutely necessary if we would keep well, and live to be old, so say leading lights in the world of medicine, and for some un- explained reason, they prefer their patients to give up the week-end for this purpose. AT HOME" DAYS. The day for "receiving," for years so carefully set forth in the corner of our visiting cards, is no longer in-vogue. Pos- sibly the principal cause for this state of affairs lies in the fact that we have grown more sensible, and decline to give up a whole afternoon, or perchance two after- noons a month, to entertaining people we don't want to entertain. Any way the At Home Day no longer exists when we want our friends we make special appoint- ments, and at other times they have to take their chance of "discovering" us. The Bridge afternoon too has almost fizzled out, and the tendency at the moment is to be serious. A liittle party is arranged to chat, over the abolition of the undesirable novel; the exportation of worn-out horses, or some particular charity, and undoubtedy this is a happier, healthier state of affairs than was the wasting of many hours in playing cards, very frequently for larger sums of money than could be afforded. USE FOR THE COURT TRAIN. The Court, train, destined when its initial object is accomplished, to be trans- formed into an opera cloak, or form the basis of another gown, is chosen with this end in view, hence, the prevalence at the two early Courts of the new reversilbil,e satins. These fabrics are, obtaina,ble m many delicate combinations of colour, such as pale pink on one side and silver grey on the other, both sides being equally soft and silky. It would be diffic-ulti to find a material more suitable for evening wraps, then the reversible satins, they have moreover found their way-and most successfully—into the realm of the sri-ia-i tea, and "rest" gowns. THE, DRAPED SKIRT. The notion of drawing the skirt in tight- ly—by means of a sash or other draperies —just below the knees, goes merrily on, and not only do modish women find it difficult ito walk gracefully in robes so fashioned, but discover themselves quite unable to negotiate a deep step. One can but admire the foresight of a Society leader, who insists upon the knee sashes of her draped skirts being built to fasten and unfasten. Possibly she recollects a little incident which occured not long ago, when the chauffeur had to lift his mistress from the pavement to her motor car. DULL-FADED FLOWERS. The woman past her youth would do well to ignore the very brightly-coloured flow- ers, in evidence in shopland. Soft-faded tones are best for her, especially in com- binations of terra-cotta and purple. Where very bright hues have been select- ed and are proving unbecoming, the best plan is to veil the flowers Lightly with mole or tan-brown chiffon. It is better, however, unless one possesses the bloom of youth, and clear beautiful coloring, to avoid bright, startling colour trimmings in our headgear. THE BANDEAU AGAIN. Very few of the new hats are being put on straight, and the bandeau is to the fore again. At the moment this, is built up of flowers, and not exaggerated in any way, but we can scarcely expect this happy state of affairs to continue. Exaggeration is sure to follow, and possibly before the spring months are past a terrific tilt in some or other direction will be Dame Fashion's decree.

H. M. STANLEY'S HOME. FAMOUS INN TO BE CLOSED. If the decision of the St. Asaph magis- trates arrived at on Monday is confirmed a famour tourist inn in Wales will be closed. The house is known by the sign of The Cross Foxes, Giascoed, Bodel- wyddan, but- it is more familiar to tourists as "Stanley's Old Home," from the fact that the mother of the famous explorer, Hir H. M. Stanley, lived there, and was visited by her son. In consequence of the great interest which tourists take in the inn throughout the summer there is great traffic to the house, and some objection has been raised to the state of things on Sunday. The magistrates accordingly suggested to the police at the last annual licensing1 meet- ing that objection should be made to a seven days' licence, and the matter came before the adjourned sessions on Monday at St. Asaph, when Mr Amphlett, on be- half of the tenant and the trustees of the Bodelwyddan estate, caused a surprise by stating that rather than consent, to a six days licence the trustees would raise no objection to the house being: referred for compensation, and left it to the Bench to consider whether or not the interests of the neighbourhood would be prejudiced by the closing! of the inn, seeing' the thousands of tourists who visited it. Mr Joseph Lloyd, on behalf of the police, said there was no complaint against the licensee, the only objection beiiiir to the doings of the tourists in the roadway and neighbourhood. It was felt that tourists could retain their thirst until they reached St. Asaph, three miles distant. By a majority the Bench decided to re- fer the house for compenstion.

—————————————- LUENOS AYRES CENTENARY EXIIiiiiTlON. A ElilTISil MASTERPIECE. Visitors to the Buenos Ayres Exhibition will be st -ruck with the special coach ex- hibited Ly the Metropolitan Amalgamated Railway Carriage and Waggon Co., Limited, of Birmingham. The coacn is beyond the conception of ordinary people in luxury, comfort, delicacy of taste, and excellence of finish, and is evidence that the decadence of Britain has not yet set in. This palace on wheels has at one end a magnificent observa- tion room, decorated in "Louis XVI." style, and there are also a comfortable study, three bedrooms (Adams style), bathrooms, and ser- vants' and kitchen apartments. This splendid piece of work has been designed and carried out entirely by the company's own staff. The body of the coach, the under-frame, pressed steel bogies, and steel disc wheels—of types which are specialities of the company- and every detail, even to the varnish, are manufactured and put together by the com- pany. It is proper, as so many millions of British capital are invested in Argentine rail- ways, that the pi-e-em Iiience of Britain in rail- way work should be so typified. We may add that the King lias shown his interest in this notable example of British workmanship by p requesting Viscount Churchill to inspect it on -e 0, his behalf. The makers have offered the coach to the President of Argentina, who has cabled his acceptance, s: a tins it 1"i;1 occupy the first place in the Presick-uikJ U.,iu.

TRAVELLING WITHOUT TICKETS. HEAVY FINE: ON CATTLE DEALER. Dr. Dalton presided at, the Conway Petty Sessions on Monday, when Mr R. L. Mason, of the London and North-Wes- ter Railway's London office, appeared to prosecute in two charges of travelling upon the railway without having paid the fare and with the intention to defraud the Company of the money. The defendant in the first case, Robert Hughes, of Gorswen F'arm, Denbigh Road, Llanrwst, d'd not, appear. The de- fendant travelled to Bangor from Llanrwst on January 30th, and by taking a ticket ta the Junctcbn and. tendering; at Conway a titeket available only from Conway to Bangor he evaded the penny fare as be- tween Llandudno Junction and Conway. He was fined 10is. and costs. In the second case .the defendant was David Roberts, a cattle dealer, of Pen- machno. He was charged with travelling from Llandudno Junction to Llanrwst on January 25th without paying the fare. Mr A. E. Davies, of Blaenau Festiniog, represented t,he-defendant. Detective M'Fall stated that on January 25th he saw Roberts in a. train at Llan- dudno Junction, and accompanied him in the carriage to Llanrwst. In some con- versation the defendant was asked what ticket he was then travelling with, and he produced a tourist ticket from Manches- ter to Bettws-y-coed which had been issued on February 11th. He stated that he had used that ticket only as far as Chester, and had travelled from Chester to Bala and 131aenau Festiniog1 by the Great Western line, then üoming down to Llanrwst on the 12,t,h, and paying the 4d. fare on returning from Llanrwst to Bettws-y-coed. Three witnesses were called to prove that the defendant came back from Man- 4 chester by the train arriving at Llan- dudno Junction at seven o'clock on the 11th, and that he went on to Bettws-y- coed by the seven o'clock train. < The defendant, called in his own de- fence, repeated his account, and John Roberts, his brother, corroborated, de- posing that he was with his brother dur- ing the journey from Manchester to Ches- ter on the lUh, and that the defendant left him there to proceed to Bala. The magistrates decided that there must be conviction, and the defendant was fined R5 and costs.

LAND VALUES m WALES. On Monday the Flintshire Under Sheriff (Mr P. S. Kelly, of Mold) and a jury sat at Holywell for the purpose of determining the value of a piece of land at, Greenfield which the London and North- Western Railway Company require to purchase for the purpose of improvements in the vicinity of their Holywell station, and which forms part of the old disused works known as "Crockford's" works. Mr Cuthbert Smith appeared for Mr. Philip Jones, the owner of the land in L question, and Mr Eustace Mills for the railway company. Mr Smith explained that the piece of land was .514 square yards in area, and afforded access, by means of a siding, to the London and North-Western Railway Company's line from the works. Mr Jones had, the right to send stuff down, the old Holywell railway to the, dock at Green- field, which was the only outlet to the River Dee between Connah's Quay and Rhyl, a distance of 201 miles. Among the witnesses was Mr Caradoc Will'riams, engineer to the Dee Conser- vancy Board, who considered t'he land valuable, on accounts of its free access to the Ritver Dee. There was a scheme for the improvement of the Dee under con- sideration, and there might be a, contract signed during the next few months. What- ever was carried out, he, considered this land would be valuable as a site for works. Eventually the jury decided the value of the land to be, £ 103.

WHAT LLANDUDNO RELIES ON. The Llandudno experiences related in these columns week after week are awakenin.g keen interest amongst our readers, for Llandudno places- reliance in the word of her townspeople. The following is another instance; it is related by a well-known resident of LJan- dudno—Mr D. Roberts, The Laurels, CoiinciiUstreet. He says:—"Some two years ago I suffered from kidney com- plaint; there were severe pains in the loins. I felt completely 'done up'—tired and listless, and my work became a. bur- den to me. I tried many remedies but nothing seemed to do me any good. "Hearing Doan's backache kidney pills so highly spoken of I was induced to try them. I had not used the pills long when I felt better. The pains gradually grew less, and by the time I had taken three boxes of the medicine I was quite well, and have remained well civer since. Doan's backache kidney pills will have my hearty recommendation. (Sighed) David Roberts." When the kidneys are ill the whole body is being1 slowly poisoned. That, is why kidney complaint is so serious, and why it so often ends fatally. Doan's backache kidney pills cleanse and gently heal the kidneys, and so cure the cause of back- ache, rheumatism, dropsy, urinary dis- orders, bladder diseases, gravel, constant weariness, and weakness. Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepencle per box, or six boxes for-thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Roberts had.
