PIANO TUNERS.

They Are Mn«ter* of Harmony, batFew Know Written .’Uaale.

The piano tuner was jangling thekeys’with one hunil as he twisted audswung his little hammer at the pinswith the other. Now and then hewould strike a chord nonchalantly, buthe never pretended to produce anysuccession of sounds that resembled atheme or phrase of music. He woundup with a final jangle of chords thatwere harmonic, hut not in any mannerrelated to one another. Then hescrewed on the front of the case andannounced that the tuning was fin-ished.

“Won’t you play something for me?"asked the mistress” of the householdexpectantly.

“I am afraid I can’t gratify you,madam,” was the response. “I can’tplay.”

“Not play? I should think any per-son with such knowledge of harmonywould be a master of music,” said thewornau.

“The tuner is n master of harmony,or his ear is,” said the man, "but fewof us know written music. We don’tneed it in our business. All a tunerhas to have Is an acute ear for notesand their harmony. With the pitch ofu fork set at a certain point he has abasis to start from, and all he does isto give each string on the instrumentIts proper grade in the scale. It takesa mighty fine car and much training ofthe sense of hearing, but that ia allthere ia to it”

“What a cool and indifferent air MissFTappay has! She acts just aa If shedidn’t know that anybody was lookingat her”

“Yes; she inherits that. Her mothernaed to hake pancakes in the windowof a quick lunch restaurant”—Cleve-land Plain Dealer.
