WEBER PIANOS.
The favorite Piano of the world's grsat singers
Patti and Nilsson. Positive evenness of scale, bus
ceptibibty of action, freedom from metallic tone
and extraordinary durability, characterizes this
world famous piano.
EVERETT PIANOS.
“An honest piano at an honest pries,” or in oth
er words, a strictly first-class piano within the
reach of those of moderate means.
The Everett Piano took the highest awaid at the
receat Georgia State Fair for superior tone, per
fect action, aud elng&uca in design and finish.
The victory was complete, though tho Everett
came iu competition with most of the best known
Piauosor the world.

A PERFECTSOFT PEDAL.
So constructed that it can be appHcd and bold in
uooition for any length of time n ithant continued
preasnre of tlio foot. With tbia wonderful Soft
Pedal arrangement the tone of the Piano is so
,-reatly reduced that h person practicing can
scarcely be heard outside of the room. Worth its
weight in gold to persons of nervous temperament.
DUPLEX TOUCH.
A simple improvement which enables the per
former to change the action from light to heavy;
the object of which is to strengthen woak fiugois
and wrists. Some persons can never becomo good
performers on account of weak fingers and wrists.

not be shattered. In word and
deed, the*father shonld be ell that
be hopes his boy to be. The re
sponsibility for the formation of
the boy’s character can not be
avoided, and there should be no
desire to avoid it.
To the little boy papa speaks
only truth and wisdom; papa’s no
tions are just what they* shonld be,
and lie is in every respect the per
sonification of perfect manhood.
All that papa says and does is
right, simply bteanse papa, in the
opinion of the little fellow,: can’t
say or do anything wrong.
The opinion held-by tbe boy is
sublimely pore, and faith un
bounded. Fathers should ponder
long and well their, conduct, else
the faith and purity of their boys
will be destroyed. By example let
papa hold tbe confidence of his
son, and teach him * continually
that his faith is not misplaced.
But alas, how many of os would
groan in anguish if conyiuced that
our boys wonld know all we say
and do, and that through that
knowledge their characters would
be constructed in like fashion
The fatherjneed not be hideous
in depravity, or extremely wicked,
’ere the son may by the force of
example begin to wander from the
path of truth and rectitude. f
There is no need to particular
ize here. The little boy studies
papa closely, and as does papa, so
will the son act. If the father is
strictly moral in all things, so the
son is apt to be.
As a matter of course, the pow
er of discriminating between right
and wrong increases as years come
to the boy, and if not worthy, the
father will lose the confidence and
love of the son, unless it be thut by
example the mind of the boy has
been so warped as to render it ex
tremely difficult for subsequent
lessons to eradierte the moral poi
son that has been absorbed by the
young mind.
If the father’s life illustrates
honesty, integrity, energy, oharity,
lore of good and a fear of evil, the
example will be of exceeding
great foece with the son, and these
virtues will be early recognized as
the foundation upon which a prop
er character moat be erectSd.
It is a recognized fact that
mother’s love is the strongest in
centive to good that ever influenced
mankind, but it is also true that
by example fathers have destroyed
their Bons,and completely neutral
ized the mother's good influence.
Every young mind must be ex
pended by older, stronger minds;
every boy mnst^bave an ideal;
there will never be a man like
whom the boy hopes to be. Let
father accept the responsibility
folly; and fortbe sake of-humani-
ity, never say or do anything unfit
for the son to hear or know of.
Of eonrae, man can not attain
perfection, but be can come near
enough to it to eliminate all fear
that the precious sou will go to
ruin through the force of papa’s
example.

profitable to study something that
wonld be helpful to them, and
whioh would contribute to their
own happiness and the happiness
of othera. He suggested that they
might find, for instance, tbe study
of chemistry beneficial—the chem
istry of the.kitchen.
The suggestion is ad excellent
one, bat unfortunately, it is one
that is not popular. Most girls
don't want to go near ihe kitchen
and their mothers don’t insist up
on their going there. And yet,
girls who expect to have charge of
homes of their own onght to
know all about a kitchen and ev
erything that is done there. They
may never have to cook or to do
anything else that is done in a
kitchen, but those who know how
to cook and to do all other lands of
household work will have neater
and happier homes, ns n rale, than
those who are totally ignorant of
these things, and who will b» whol
ly dependent upon servants. And
some of those who now pride them
selves upon knowing nothing of
cooking or sewing or anything else
that is done in a well-regulated
household, may have all those
things to do. If they are prepared
to do them, how much lighter their
task will be, and much.more will
ingly will they bear their burdens..
In a London letter, published a
few days ngo, and written by one
well acquainted with the home life
of tbe Princess of Wales, it was
stated that all of the daughters of
the princess were taught to cook
and sew, and to do whatever else is
expected of a capable housewife.
A portion of their education was
received in the kitchen, where they
were required to spend an hoar
each day until they gained a fair
knowledge of cooking. A wise
mother is the Princess of Walea
In the North American Review
for December there are four or five
articles by well-know women, in
wbieh is discussed this question:
Shall oar daughters have dow
ries?" The conclusion reached in
about all ofjthem is that the best
dowry that a wife can bring to her
husband is a thorongb knowledge
of household duties and a willing
ness to perform them should there
bea necessity for her to do so.
The majority of eligible young
men have small incomes. If
young man marries a girl who can
lighten his burden by makiug their
home a comfortable one at a com
paratively small expense, he is
much more likely to get ahead in
the world than if he marries one
who is ignorant of household du
ties and thinks that she would lose
the respect of hen: friends if she
should soil her hands with pots
and kettles, or harden them in
handling a broom. The girls who
are tanght that life is not a mere
butterfly existence, bat that it has
duties, and who are trained to per
form these duties, are the ones who
make tbe best wives and the hap
piest homes.
The prevailing opinion is that
Cleveland will be tliede mocratic
nominee for president in 1892, and
that Blaine will be the nominee of
tbe republicans. Qov. Hill, of
New York, has a considerable fol
lowing in the democratic party, but
not enough to jusjify him in think
ing that he has a chance for tbe
nomination, and in the republican
party Alger and Harrison and
Gen. Miles are now and then
spoken of by admiring friends'.
Cleveland and Blaine, however,
are the two men toward whom the
whole country is looking. Cleve
land is regarded as the head and
front of the movement: to reform
the tariff, aud, besides, the people
have confidence in him. The rec
ord he made as president meets the
hearty approval of the masses
without regard to party. And
Blaine is the only republican lead
er who, after the disastrous defeat
of the republicans in November,re
tained the confidence of the rank
and file of his party.
The Chicago Times recently took
the trouble to inquire of the lead
ing democratic and republican
newspapers of each state as to their
choice for president, and the result
is quite interesting. The number
of newspapers that answered was
221. Of tnis number 106 express
ed a preference for Cleveland, 12
lor Hill, 52 for Blaine, and 18 for
Harrison. These newspapers
doubtless represent pretty fairly
the sentiments of the localities in
which they nre published.
Prom the figures of the’Times it
is apparent that Cleveland is the
favorite of the democrats by a long
way, and that Blaine is the favorite
of the republicans. And that they
will continue to be the favorites
there is every reason to believe.
Blaine, 'it is thought, [|conld hav
had the nomination of his party in
1888, but he declined it for two
reasons, viz., he did not believe lie
could be elected, and his health
was so bad he was afraid to enter
upon an exciting presidential cum
paigu. He is in good health now,
and stands well with his party. It
is thought that he would be glad
of a chance to try his luck again.
Cleveland has lost none of his
popularity since he retired from
the presidency. Indeed, it is not
too much to say that he is more
popular now than at any other pe
riod in his remarkable public ca
reer. The passage of the McKin
ley bill has shown the country
some of the evil effectsjof the re
publican doctrine of protection,
and there is now a stronger senti
ment than ever in’favor of a re
form tariff. The peqple know that
the champion of that sort of tariff
is Cleveland. They have almost
made up their minds that the cam
paign of 1892 will be the campaign
of 1884 over again.

It is reported that a colony of
about twenty-five northern farmers
have purchased 3,000 acres of land
in Cullananjcounty, Ala., and will
begin co-operatixe farming. There
is to be a joint stock company with
a capital of S200,000, limited- to
200 shares, and no person can hnve
more than one share. The farm
work is to be performed by the
shareholders themselves and their
families, and the profits are to be
distributed as dividends. They
expect to introduce manufacturing
as soon as practicable, as they have
a forest of valuable timber;'and an
inexhaustible supply of coal.

State Agricultural Prosperity. * j Colonial Punishments for Drunken-
Atlanta Conslitution.
It is pleasing to know that the
agricultural iuterests of Georgia,
despite the fact of general com
plaints of a scarcity of farm labor
and a consequent lull in the fjplds
on that account, are generally in a
prosperous couditiou. The farm
ers have done much in the cotton
line, for instance, during the'year
which is fast drawing to a close;
but notwithstanding the fact that
much of this.'importaul staple still
remains in the fields, they have
had happy harvesting of every
thing else.
This is notably the case iu every
county iu Georgia where general
farming interests are conducted,
and possibly the statement which
is made for Troup county will hold
good for all. The LaGrnnge
Graphic says that the farmers in
that section give promise of good
aud flush times, and that at no
time since the war have they been
able to hold such a large/percen
tage of their crops for such prices
as they may demand, and thnt the
merchants declare that they have
made better collections than at any
time for the same season since the
war.
Well, here’s a merry Christmas
to the farmers of Georgia, and
there is no doubt that they will en
joy it From every county comes
ringing notes of cheer, and the
cheer of the farmer is the joy of
all. Let all the counties fall into
line and shake hands on the result
of the year. And more than this.
Let every citizen iu every county
rejoice in the agricultural prosper
ity of his town aud section, and
take heart for the future from the
prestige of the past.
And there is not a newspaper in
the United States that has not a
word of Christmas greeting for its
subscribers—a! Cnristmas chime
which is ringyig the rounds and
spreading -welcome wherever it
goes.

Tho Topnlar Soienco Monthly.
Dr. Hammond gives a couple of
instances of a coloninial punish
ment of drunkenness. Here are
others. 1633. Massachusetts: Rob
ert Coles fined <£10 for “abasing
himself shamefully with drink,”
and enjoined to stand with “A
Drunkard” in great letter3 on a
white sheet on his back, “soe
longe as the Court thinks m&ete.”
[The penalty for repetition next
year—disfranchisement, etc. —re
ferred to by Dr. Hammond, were
remitted, May, 1634, on submis
sion aud testimony of good beha
vior.] T. Hawkins anti J. Vaughn
fined 10s. for a similar offense, und
selling “strong water, contrary to
op order of Court.” Iu 1643 and
1650 the colony made the harbor
ing of drunkards penal. But there
is not the slightest evidence that
the proceedings jria these cases
were for snmptnary reusons. -1639.
Wm. C was fined 10s. for
“misdemeanor in drinking, and
corporal punishment remitted up
on his promise to avoid such occa
sions.” The same year - , it New
Haven, John Jenuer, “accused of
being drunk, was acquitted, it ap
pearing to be of infirmity, and oc
casioned by-the extremity of the
cold. “Mr. Molenoar, accused,
but not clearly proved, was respi
ted.” It could hardly have been the
object in these cases to prevent the
expenditure for the liquor, or to
dictate “what .the persons concern
ed should or sboald'auot drink!
Nor when ThomasJFranklin was
panished “for drinking strong liq
uors to excess and entertaining
disorderly persons into his cellar
to drinking meetings.”
A Rejtabkable Preservative .
A Belgium hermit has found
that the green tar left after ex
tracting the oil from the white bark
of the birch will effectually pre
serve even the most delicate tex
tures from de9ay. It yields to nei
ther acid nor alkaloid, is remarka
bly fluid in alcoholic solutior^and
when once dried resists even the
action of alcohol.
Johnny Shrimp’s Relations.
This is an essay on his family
relations as it appears in Golden
Days. Ma is my mother. I am
her son. Ma’s name is Mrs.
Shrimp, and Mr. Shrimp is her
husband. Pa is my father. My
name is John George Washington
Shrimp. Therefore, pa’s name is
Shrimp; so is ma’6. • My ma has a
toa. She is my grandma. She is
mother-in-law to pa. I like grand
ma better than pa does.- She
brings me dimes and bolivars. She
don’t bring any to pa. Maybe
that’s why pa don’t like her. Aunt
Jernsha is my aunt. When pa was
a little boy she was his sister. I
like little sisters. Dicky Mopps
has a little sister. Her name is
Rose. I take her out riding on my
sled. Aunt Jerusha don tlike her.
She calls her

Pulmonary Diseases.
The lungs play a most impor
tant part in the machinery of life.
It is essential that they should be
kept in good repair. Nature has
endowed this organ of life with
wonderful recuperative power.
Many instances are on record
where the longs hav? been shot
through with a leaden ballet and
the wound quickly healing.-There
fore, none should despair when
they discover that their lungs are
affected. Frequently the Inngs
become sore and ulcerated, and by
an ignorant doctor pronounced
consumption and worthless reme*
dies applied, with serious results.
When the lungs feel sore, and
breathing painful, the proper rem-

I think Aunt Jerusha ought to be fc? y '“ 1 Saraaparil-
ashamed of herself.
Aunt Jerusha lives with us.
Aunt Jerusha has a state of
health, too. On washing day she
has the headache, and does her
head up iu brown paper and vine
gar, aud I have to make toast at
the morning fire. I make some
for myself, too. .
Annt Jerusha says nobody knows
what she has done for that boy.
That boy’s me again. J told pa
what she said. Pa said it was just
so. Nobody did kpow. Ma says
Aunt Jernsha means well, and that
she is pa’s dear sister. I don’t see
why that’s any reason why she
shonld always scold me when I eat *
cabbage with a knifr.
The truest joy we have in life is
in making others glad.
