Thomas, the distinguished founder and
conductor of the famous "Thomas' Or

well as any one the opinions entertained
by musicians respecting musical instru-
ments. He declares that they generally
agree with him in regarding the MASON
q HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS as much the
best Instruments of this class in the
world: 1t is not, therefore, surprising
that they are now largely exported to
Europe, commanding higher prices there
than the instruments of their best makers.

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGU1sE.-It is fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and acid
astringents are often given for medicines.
They are potent to DESTROY! and may be
safely warranted to ruin morally and

have been made by these villainous con-
coctlons labeled medicines than by the
liquors of Commerce. Alcoholic poisons,
advertised as remedies, are more mis-.
chlevous than tavern drains. For inter-

Steel Pens.

The early history of the etcel pen is
curiously obscure. The most diligent
search fails to discover the first make,
or the earliest date of this implement.
There were steel, or rather iron pens
made, we believe in Holland-as early
as the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury. Toward the close of the last
century, Mr.. Harrison, an ingenious
Birmingham mechanic, made steel pens
for DR.. Priestly. One of them is moth

fat strip of metal, with the sides and
point filed away in the shape of a pen.
The first actual supply of such pens, it
is believed-the authority of the state

man, whose name is forgotten. From
time to time, as far back as 1909, steel
pens, hand fashioned, turned and filed,
were made as curi0sities or luxuries for
presents, but it wss not until about
1924 that such instruments were pro-
duced in considerable quantities. as
regular articles of manufacture. Mr..
James Perry was the first manufacture
or; but the process was tedious and
costly. The metal was steel, rolled out
Of wire, and for this Mr.. Perry paid as
much as seven shillings pound. To
the first person he employed he gave
five shillings for making each pen; and
even when the trade had become regu-
lar he gave for some years as much as
thirty'six shillings per gross to his
w0lkmen. Now-thanks to the
machinery and modern improvements
not very good perhaps, bui
good enough to write with, can he
made and sold at a profit of three cents
per gross!

Ants In India.


With the first moisture they come in
all their generations ants of all
colors, black, red and white and oil
all sizes, from the pestilent little ant,
which, scarcely vieible, luxuriates in
the sugar when the careless servant
omits to place it in water, to the huge
black ant which sharply bites the
baby, or the great red ant, which
builds nests larger than those of a
hanging-bird in the branches of the
trees. But most destructive of all the
ant family is the famous white ant.
Anything is acceptable to white ant,
from rare book or q silk dress to the
timbers of your roof. Their destruct-
i've power IS astonishing. Ihad occa-
sion lately to enter an unfrequented

box of moderate size, in which had
come goods from home but, in place
of the case, I found little dried mud,
a quantity OF nails and iron bands

teeth; the box itself the white ants
had eaten up. "How do you save

wife, filled with dismay at the thought
Of such destruction. It is a pertinent
question. To begin with, we save in
grain, Brussels and tapestry carpets
by never buying them. The wealth.
est people in India only use common
cheap cotton fabrics or grass mattings
on the floor, which one can afford to
renew every two or three years. As for
other things, water and metal are our
great preservatives. It is curious
fact that while the white ants are thus
numerous and destructive throughout
India, they are never found in cities {;
the natives say that they dislike the
noise and jar. which, as they always
work in darkness and quiet seems
