How to Jndge of a Piano--Knabe's the

To judge the merits of piano cannot b.

points which cannot be tested by mere OK.

liable to orr, proferring At first, perhaps. a
quality of tone which will not continue to

the violin, where it is really good one. is q
greatly better STANDARD for quality than
any other instrument known. 1t is more
sympathetic aud rich, has more volume. and
will ever continue to please. Moreover. i,
is difficult to judge between the merits Of
tones of pianos heard separately and in diff.

stands has so much influence that an inferi-

appear better than one which is really su.

The tone of piano should be smooth.
pure, mellow, powerful and full. It should
avoid the metallic. noisy twang. on the one
hand, and the thin. meager tones, on the
other hand, which are the great faults OF
most pianos made. Many times have We

Company which, after being satisfied that q loss
is fair and square, pays at once, without useless
red tape. In this County the MERCHANTS is
the popular Company. Its losses here, as at TO.

have been fairly and honestly adjusted. and also
promptly paid. Our Farmers and business men
prefer the honest, frank fair policies OF the MER.

THEoRY OF nGossIP.o .

WE are often asked, 'eWhat is gossip
We answer, IN general way, that it is talk
ing of persons rather than things. Nothing
shows the paucity of ideas more than this
talking about the affairs of your neighbors.
1t is not only malicious people who originate
scandal, it is narrow minded people, igno-
rant people, stupid people. Persons of eul-
ture and intelligence are not so hard run for
topics of conversation. They can usually
find something to say about art, literature,
fashion or soeiecy. The moment people be-
gin to talk of their neighbors-of persons
rather than things-they are apt tc degener
ate into scandal; for where one speaks of the
virtues ofan acquaintance, q dozen expatiate
on his or her shortcomings And brings
us to speak of real cultare, or what we con-
slider to be such, at least. A cultivated per-
son, in the highest sense of the term, Is not
merely one who can talk of books, pictures,
and other elevated subjects of human inter
est. To be thoroughly cultivated, the heart
as well as the intellect, should be refined and
enlarged. Sometimes we see women who,
without education, yet having been born am
liable, are never guilty of gossip. Again,
we see women, not naturally amiable, whom
education has taught to talk of things, not
Of persons. The perfect woman, in this re-
spect, is one who is both amiable and educa-
ted But education does not always elevate
people above the regions ofgossip. A really
bad heart is always malicious. The best ad-
vice we can give is the homely old adage:
mind your own business Very few of
us ever know the whole truth about any
thing concerning a neighbor; and TO speak of
his or her conduct is usually to run the risk
of being unjust Much less should we talk
Of the motives ofothers. Very few of us.know
our own motives, and to Venture on discuss
ing neighbor' motives is always imperti-
nence, and often a real crime.
