The Enabe Piano.

Il
Next to books there is no iuanimate thing in
the house that can produce SO much profitable
pleasure as Piano. A library and Piano are
symbols Of. high civilization. These two
spread the noblor banquet, where the soul is
fed. without fear. of ghittony for dissipation
As books bring into our daily circle Us familiar
companions the noblest spirits that ever wrought
upon earth, and permit, US to rear our children
under the influence of the noblest natures, so
the PIANO. with simple inoantations bring lis up
from their Sleep the brotherhoodsaf song. and
persuades them to dwell among us.
OF the enormous variety of Pianos manu-
factured, it must be admitted none have con-
|tributed so much to the happiness OF our
homes. as those celebrated instruments, used
by the thousand-' in every quarter Of the
globe, and manufactured by the world re-
nowned house Of Msssrs. WM. kSABE & Co..
Baltimore. Those Pianos have been before
the public for more than 40 years, with a
steady increase Of popularity, until to-day
they are pronounced BY the greatest artists,
amateurs, snc the universal Judgment of the
public at large tobe the BRIT and most EELI-
ABLE Pianos made in the world.

Hot Summers.

From the records kept at Nuremberg, in
Bavaria, we get the following interesting
facts:
In 1882 the earth cracked by reason of
the heat, the wells and streams in Alsace
all dried up,s and the bed of the river
Rhine was dry. In 1852 the heat was so
great that sand exposed to the suns rays
was hot enough to cook eggs. In 1850
great numbers of soldiers in the campaign
against Bella died from the heat In 1876
and l2f1 crops of hay and oats failed COM
pletely. In 1903 and 1904 man could
have crossed dry shod over the rivers
Seine, Loire, Rhine and Danube. In 1893
and 1894 a multitude of animals persisted
by the heat, which was so great that the
harvests dried up. In l440 the heat was
extraordinary In 1888, 1889, 1910 and l54l
all the rivers were nearly dried up. In
l556 there was "a great drouth, which eX-
tended over nearly the whole of Europe.
In l6l5and 1916 there was, in Italy, France,
and the Netherlands, an overpowering
neat. In l64S there were IS consecutive
days of extreme heat. 1878 was very hot,
ana as were the first three years of the 18th
century. In Ills it did not rain siugle
time from April until October The grow
ing grain was burnt, the rivers dried up,
the theatres (but wherefore is not stately
were closed by command of the police.
The thermometer showed SO degrees Reau-
mer, equivalent to ll3 degrees Fahrenheit.
In irrigated gardens the fruit trees bloom
ed twice. In 1923 and 1724 there was great
heat. The summer of 1916 was hot and
dry, the growing grain being calcined. 1t
