The construction of some Pianos and Organs 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 J. H.

There is more Catarrh in this section of he country than all the other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co . Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market. It is taken in ternally in doees from 10 drops to a tea spoonfrti. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

A MILK TRAIN. . One to be Put on by The Central From Grifln to Atlanta. Quite a delegation of prominent railroad men an J citisens of Atlanta spent several hours io our city yester day. Tbe object of their visit was to ex amine into the practicability of put ting oa a milk train to go op every morning from Griffin to Atlanta. It is proposed to leave Griffin every morning al 6 o’clock and stop al every station between here and Atlanta and receive all tbe milk to be shipped* reaching Atlanta between 7 and 8 o’clock, thus affording all the territory lying on the Hoe of the Central be tween Griffin and Atlanta the benefits and advantages of a ready market for all their dairy supplies. This is a very important move and farmers and dairymen on tbe line should hasten to improve tbe opportu nities thus afforded. 4 The vegetable gardener will also be benefited, as vegetables taken from bis garden in early morning can go with dairy product to a near and ready market.

Th® Small Vam That Ar® Received by the Imsdou Barristers. A barrister's fees are small, and they are always paid in advance, and the nun is recorded under the title of the brief. A friend who has a large practice ■bowed me his feebook yesterday. The largest item was 38 guineas, which is less than S2OO. The average was about SSO. Fees are regelated by the benchers of the inn ecoortimg to the service per formed, and no contingent fees are al lowed. A barrister may accept -a case for nothing or return the fee in cases of charity, but he cannot without violat ing his oath, dlreotly or indirectly, ac cept any greater compensation for a legal service than is allowed in the regular schedule fixed by the benchers of his inn. If he does so, he is debarred from practice. It is a common custom in America for a lawyer to undertake a suit for the recovery of damages or a claim of any kind with a contract that be shall re ceive a certain percentage of the amount of money recovered. In England such an act would be considered disreputa ble, and any barrister found guilty would be expelled from his inn. The fees are regulated by the amount of time and labor required, and not by tbe amount of money involved. A barrister may receive a fee of $250 in a case in volving only SSOO, and he may receive a fee of $26 in a case involving SI,OOO, - 000. All legal business originates with so licitors. They bring to the barrister’s office a case all prepared after certain forms and written in manuscript. The British courts do not permit typewrit ing. The solicitor requests the barrister to undertake the case, and the fee is marked plainly upon the brief. If the barrister does not care to undertake the labor for the amount of money allowed or for any other reason, be advises the solicitor to go elsewhere. If he accepts the responsibility, the solicitor leaves the amount of the fee in coin with the brief, so that the barrister has his pay In advance. This is the almost invaria ble custom. The only exceptions are in cases of close friendship between the solicitors and barristers and where there is a large amount of litigation in which both are involved. Then it is customary for the barrister to make up liis bill at the end of the month or the end of the quarter, lint the fee in each case must nevertheless be written upon the brief and recorded in the books of the court. It is customary, also, for the solicitor to leave a fee for the barrister’s clerk at the same time, which must be a cer tain percentage of that paid to the bar rister. When you dine at a hotel or a restaurant in England, it is customary to tip the waiter an amount equal to 6 per cent of your bill for the same rea son. The waiter receives no compensa tion from his employer, nor does the barrister’s clerk. His pay comes entire ly from the clients, and if his princi pal has no clients he gets no pay. On the other hand, if his principal has a very large and profitable practice his fees are enormous. They say that the clerk of Sii Charles Russell lives in a handsome villa down in the suburbs, is driven to and from his office in a brough am and hires a box at tbe opera for the season.—Chicago Record. No More of It For Him. He entered the shop of a fashionable bootmaker, a look of determination on his face. It was such a look as one sees on the face of a man firmly re solved to carry out, at all hazards, a de cision which will change the whole course of his life. “H’ml” he began as the assistant stepped forward and politely questioned him as to his requirements in feet beautifiers. “I want a pair of shoes for my wife, Mrs. Brown.” ‘‘Yes, sir, certainly,” said the young man briskly. ‘‘Same style and size as last week?” ‘ ‘Same style. Size, fives—wide fives, ” replied Brown decidedly. ‘‘But—er—excuse me. Mrs. Brown only takes —that is, she usually has 8%,” exclaimed the assistant, who knew the lady well. “Are yon married, young man?’* queried Brown sternly, the look of de termination deepening on his careworn features. “Er—not yet, sir,” answered the shopman, blushing. “I thought not," returned Brown, “lam! lam not going to suffer half an hour’s purgatory every morning, watching a woman trying to squeeze a bushel of feet into a peck of boots. I’ve stood it long enough, and I’m going to take her a pair that will fit”—Pear son’s Weekly. Making Things Clear. Au old Peebles worthy and an Eng lish lady were one day recently occu pants of a railway carriage in an Edin burgh bound train. The train had been waiting long at a certain station, and there was no appearance of its starting, when the worthy remarked, “They’re a gey taiglesome lot here. ” “I beg your pardon,” said tbe lady. “I’m sayin they’re an awfu’ daidlin squad here,” said the old fellow. “I really beg your pardon, sir,” she rejoined. “I’m remarkin they’re a vera dreich Jot here the nicht,” the old gentleman further ventured. “Really, I must again beg your par don, ” said the lady, with marked em barrassment, “but I do not comprehend you.” “I was just trying to say the train was late,” be finally, blurted. “Indeed, sir, it is very late,” agreed the lady. And the conversation collapsed.— Dundee News. Good Looks Go a Great Way. • ‘Miss Higbsee is a beautiful singCr, isn’t she?” “Very. That was what made her singing so endurable.”—Washington Time*.
