• The construction of some Pianos and
Organa is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
parity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See

Why They Recommended Rim.
A group of southerners in the lobby
of the Ebbilt were laughing loud-and
long last night over aa Incident that
happened al the White House Mon
day, says the Washington Post. The
incident, wbieb really happened, was
regarding a visit of a man who didn’t
want office himself, but who called
on the president to protest against
the appointment of a man to a judge
ship.
‘Mr. President,” said the protesting
party, “I trust you will uot give this
man a place on the bench. He is a
carpet bagger, and has only lived in
our state a little over a year. Worse
\lill, he is ignorant of the law. Why,
Mr. President, he doesn’t know the dis
ference between ‘livery of seizure* and
n livery stable. For heaven’s sake don’t
inflict him upon us.”
“But,” replied Maj. McKinley, “this
gentleman is highly endorsed by
Senator and bis colleague, Sen
ator They say be is a good
lawyer and would make a good
judge.”
“Yes, Mr. President, I knew they do
but it is because he has moved out of
their state. If he were still living there
they wouldn’t endorse him for justice
of the peace.”
The president smiled at the earnest
ness of the man who was not wanting
a place for himself. Not far from
where the president and the earnest
man sat were two senators of the
United States. They were the same
who bad signed the papers of the car
pet bagger. They had heard the whole
conversation. Whether - it amused
them or whether they were angry can
not here be told, but they immediate
ly got up and left the room, and the
president continued to listen to rea
sons why he ought not to make the
appointment.
J a tian Ralph on the Chinese.
The Chinese are truly a fine people;
asleep, but not worse off. I never met in
Asia or anywhere a single man who knows
the Chinese and the Japanese well who
does not say that physically, mentally and
morally the Chinese are' superior to the
Japanese. We must not judge the huge
agglomeration of differing Chinamen by
those we see here. These are all Kwang
tung coolies, except the occasional tall,
large framed men of the more northerly
provinces who come to us on diplomatic
missions. The farther south you travel in
China the smaller, weaker and less ad
mirable do you find the people, so that in
the far south, where the French were the
first to begin the partitioning of China,
they are no bigger than the Japanese and
nothing like as able.
Our Cantonese have not proved bad vis
itors, yet they are not to be compared for
physical merit, for shrewdness, commer
cial ability, refinement or morality with
their neighbors to the north, who in stat
ure rise higher and higher, as if nature
had planted them in terraces. The Chinese,
as a whole, present better material for the
magical manipulation of progress than
the Japanese seemed to offer 40 years ago.
They are a finer people than any other
Asiatics, unless the people of India have to
be exoepted.—Harper’s Weekly.
Laying Railroads Vnder Difficulties.
The prejudice of the Chinese against
railroads has not yet been overcome. The
latest mails bring a curious story about
the experience of the surveyors who are
laying out the line between Peking and
Hankow. The route is very circuitous, in
order to lift the track above the overflow
of the rivers upon the plains, and was de
cided upon after long study and many dif
ficulties. Imagine the disgust of the sur
veyors when, after an interval of three or
four months, they attempted to go over the
line a second time and discovered that ev
cry one of the stakes they had driven had
been carefully removed and every other
landmark they had left to indicate the
route had been obliterated. Nearly two
thirds of the work had to be done over
again, but it was not attempted until an
edict was Issued by the governor of the
province prohibiting the disturbance of any
the surveyors’ marks under penalty of
death.— Washington Letter in Chicago

A DEAD CARNATION.
Leonard Contemplate* the Contents of <,
Desk Drawer.
Tbo desk drawer, opened, exhaled an
odor of faded flowers.
“Let us plunge into the atmosphere
of sweet memories,*’ said Leonard.
Wife absent, Leonard, addressing
Bayard, his most intimate friend, indi
cated withered blossoms. Faded and
grown musty in the lapse of years, they
reposed at the l ottom of the desk
drawer.
“This lily," said Leonard, sighing,
“was the flower given me by Blanche,
my first love, when I took from her
lips a timid kiss. She was as white as
its impeccable petals, fragrant as its
pure corolla, graceful as its drooping
stem, and who knows what might have
happened had she not died in the bloom
of youth?”
“And the rose?” asked Bayard.
“Ah, that was later 1” said Leonard,
with a burst of laughter. “Rosette gave
me that when she first brushed my lips
with her own. The petals were once
rosy as her warm being, and the flower’s
beauty was radiant and amorous as her
young womanhood. If she had not been
fickle, she might now be my wife. ” -
“And the orchid?” queried Bayard.
“Hippolyta presented me with that. ”
said Leonard, thoughtfully, “when she
saw me trembling in adoration at her
feet Time was when it had the mystio
charm of her own perverse personality,
and if a Russian nobleman had not
eloped with her I should still be her de
voted slave.”
Bayard discovered a bunch of faded
violets.
“And these?” he interrogated.
“They were the flowers,” murmured
Leonard sadly, “which Etienette sent
me when I had treated her brutally, be
lieving that she had deceived me. She
was demure and tender as the blooms,
and, after the storm of my passions, she
came like a peaceful sprite to peur
beauty and love into my life. Had she
forgiven me, it might have been”—
At this point Leonard interrupted
himself, seizing angrily a dead carna
tion.
“Why is this flower here?” he cried.
“It has no place among the precious
memories. Away with it at once!”
In a moment the unresisting carna
tion was reduced to dust under his piti
less foot.
“Why do you destroy it?” questioned
Bayard.
“Because it is the carnation Emilia
gave me when she said she would be
my wife, ’ ’ said Leonard, cynically,
“and I married her.”—Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Hard to Beat a Boy.
A cigar dealer in the west end said
to a reporter for the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune: “It takes a mighty
sharp man to get ahead of a boy, for a
fact. One of them came in here not
long ago, and he was old enough to buy
cigarettes and wanted a package. I sold
them and got the money. In a minute
a neighbor came in and wanted to know
what the boy bought. I told him.
“‘Well,’ said he, ‘that beats the
devil! Do you know what that boy did?
He was in my store about five minutes
ago and asked me to buy a pamphlet
that is issued by the Anticigarette
league, whatever that is. He told me
that the boys in the public schools were
trying to sell them everywhere to do
away with the bad habit of cigarette
smoking among the schoolboys. I
thought it was a good thing, and I
bought one from him. He sold some
others in the same neighborhood. Now
that little rascal comes in here and
spends my money for cigarettes, and
I’ll bet a dollar that you’ll find him
around here somewhere near smoking
for all that’s out. I’m going to look
him up. ’
“The next day I asked him if he had
caught the kid, and he said:
having a good time of it, and, more
than that, all of them were in the same
business. They thought it was a good
joke, and I suppose it was—on me—but
if they come around my store again
they’ll get booted out.’
“But,” said the cigar dealer, “they
are too sharp to get caught. They only
work one man at a time, and none of
the gang ever goes back again. They keep
a list, and I expect an examination will
show that they have been to every store
in that whole neighborhood. Where
they get the pamphlets I do not know,
but I imagine some of the good people
of the league had them printed for gra
tuitous circulation, and the boys con
cluded to sell them. They’re pretty
slick. ”
Felt Acquainted.
A Boston lady of the most reserved
and exclusive type was waiting for her
change at the glove counter in one of
the large stores when she was ap
proached by a very large, gaudily dressed
and loud looking woman, who held out
a pudgy hand in a bright green kid
glove and said:
“Why, how do you do, Mrs. Blank?”
Mrs. Blank ignored the proffered
hand and, drawing herself up stiffly,
said frigidly:
“I do not think that I know you,
madam. ”
“No, I s’pose not,” replied the wom
an, in nowise embarrassed ay the cold
ness of her reception, “but I’ve knowed
you by sight for a long time, and now
I’ve got a hired girl who worked at your
house once a year or two ago, and she’s
told me so much about you that I feel
real well acquainted with you. Pleas
ant day, ain’t it? Well, if she ain’t po
lite to sail off without to much as a
word! Shows her raisin, anyhow 1”
