Concerning Copyright.
T
HE amendment to the copyright law
which Representative Covert, of New
York, has proposed is intended to correct
a very costly error in the law now in force.
Under the existing statutes any person who
reproduces a pictorial likeness of a copy-
righted work of art, drawing, statue, pho-
tograph or other form is compelled to for-
feit the cut, and is subject to a fine of $10
for every reproduction in his possession.
To do away with these possibilities the
amendment proposes to limit the fines
which may be levied to twice the value of
the copyright of the picture which is tres-
passed upon.
Bright and Entertaining.
With the January number, The Keynote,
New York, published by Edward Lyman
Bill, begins the fourteenth volume and
eleventh year. It is always bright and
entertaining, dealing chiefly with music,
though the notes it contains on the stage,
art and literature are of much value. /Vo-

Gain Knowledge
Of the u innards " of a piano by a little reading.
You may have
been a dealer for many years, you may have been a tuner for a
like period, you may have played a little—maybe more$ but is
it not well to get a little more practical knowledge?
Some-
thing to bank on—an authority on all matters relating to tun-
ing, repairing, toning and regulating, scientific instructions—
everything? Written by that eminent authority, Daniel Spillane.
The cost is only a trifle—a dollar.
The book is illustrated,
cloth bound, over a hundred pages. It is called " Xhe Piano."
