THE E-s'EY ORGAN.

Every organ which leaves the Estey rnartufac
tory, from the little Cottage Gem, with its four
octave manual and single set of fsrty-eight-
reeds, to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with
seven full sets Of reeds and sixteen stops, bear
the uniform stamp of entire faithfulness in
manufacture No need to puff such wares dd.
,eaatse,tna, with flaming advertisements like a.
quack medicine no need to push their sales by
cheapening the price. A simple statement Of
fact is their best recommendation. They are
as perfect as human ingenuity, care and skill
can make them, and are sold at the lowest
price consistent with a fair profit. Whenever
improvements are possible they are adopted at
once, whether in workshop, machinery or instr!l-
ment. Under such circumstances, it ceases
to be a wonder that the sale OF the
Estey Organ is increasing with such
rapidity, both at home and abroad and
that enlarged facilities for it's production al
ready necessary, although the Estey establish
ment has been for years the largest reed organ
mandatory in the world Nine thousand
organs were turned out last year. These organs
represented business of over one million dol
lars Such figures are more eloquent III testi-
mony of worth than the most fowery and skill

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together.

Why do people SO frequently say to Or;
Pierce, 81 suppose your Golden Medical
Discovery cures everything 2" Because 1t
has been the practice Of knavlsh charlatans
to manufacture worthless nostrums and at
tempt to dupe the ignorant and credulous by
recommending them to cure every form OF
disease. To such an extent has this been
practiced that it is no wonder that many
have acquired prejudices against all adver-
tised remedies But Dr. Pierce does not ad-
vertise his standard preparations as cure
alls," does not claim that they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact that
they have been developed as specifics tor
certain forms of disease, for which he re-
commends them, after having tested their
efficacy in many hundred cases with the
most gratifying success. 1t is q fact known
to every weil-informed physician that
many single remedies possess several Diff
ferent properties. Quinine, for instance
has d tonic quality, which suggests it's use
in cases Of debility; an anti-periodic, by
which it is efficacious in ague and a febri-
fuge property, which renders it etficscious in
cases of fever. The result Of its administra-
ton will also vary with the quantity given
and the circumstances under which it's en-
ployed. So, likewise, the Golden Medical
Discovery possesses both psctorsl and alter
alive, or blood cleansing properties OF the
hig hest order. By reason OF these two prom
inent properties it cures two classes of dis
eases. First, those of the respiratory or
gans, SIS throat, bronchial. and lung affeo-
tions, chronic coughs and asthma, and sec
ond diseases Of the blood aud glandular
system, in which affections all skillful ply
sicians employ alternatives, as in cases OF
blotches, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, to-
mors, abcesses, and in torpor of the liver or
"biliousness" While its use is, by its COM
bination of properties, suggested in cases of
pulmonary consumption, yet you need not
take it expecting it will cure you if your
lungs are half consumed, nor because it is
recommended as blood medicine would
its proprietor advise you to take it expecting
it to cure cancer. 1t will not perform mir
acles, but it will cure many grave forms Of
disease

Sportsmen Begging a Mule.

Two members of the Sportsman's
Club were out on deer hunt the 9th
er day. Coming to a thicket that look
ed like an excellent covert for game of
all kinds, particularly deer, they sep
arated and began beating the bush. In
q short time one of the hunters heard
a cracking of sticks, and saw d dun
colored object, with what he took for
the antlers of an enormous buck, run
ming through the thicket. He blazed
away, and called to his companion, who
also fired, and down dropped the
game, as dead as door nail One Of
them started Immediately for a gran
gers house near by to procure wagon
to haul the deer, while the other sat
down under a tree to wait. In the
course of an hour the Nimrod returned,
accompanied by the farmer, who drove
the wagon. On looking at the dead
animal, the farmer at once recognized
his old dun mule, that had served him
faithfully for fifteen years. The sports
men paid the farmer $50 apiece, and
without hunting for any more deer re-
turned to the city.-S. Louis Globe

THE MANDATORY.

The Estey Organ manufactory is well worth
visit to any interested in mechanical and art
progress The works are situated on al eleva-
ted plateau, overlooking a considerable portion
Of the village Of BrattlebOro'. They conelat OF
eight main slate covered factories which are
forty feet apart three stories high one hundred
wide. Near by is a gas house, which supplies
not only the factories, but some portions of the
ity. A steam fire engine, named -. Estey, y.
is kept constantly ready for use and may be
manned at a moments notice by drilled COM
pany of the workmen. A perfect system of
speaking tubes and electric bells establishes IN
Simultaneous communication between the Office
and all parts of the premises Over five hun
dred workmen are employed, and every care is
taken to secure for them health, comfort and
safety, as well as a perfect and economical
working of the establishment. Many of the
little rooms occupied by the tuners are made
charmingly coy with pictures and flowers, ar
ranged to suit the taste of the occupants The
cheerful hum of machinery mingles With the
chipping of thousands Of reeds, and sead forth
not discordant song of industry which pene-
trates many of the pleasant homes OF the work.

THE MAKERS.

The firm of J. Estey & Co. is made up of
Mr.. Jacob Estey, his son, Julius J. Estey, and
his son-in-law, Levi K. Fuller. Mr.. Estey,
senior, is the veteran reed organ maker of
America, if not of the world. He begun the
business in Brattleboro, thirty years ago, in a
single room, with six WOrknen. and has make
his way constantly forward, ID spite Of more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact is due to the man him.
self. He has made himself, through force OF
honesty, energy, shreWdness and perseverance,.
Flooding and on, smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resolutely on all
obstacles. with indomitable faith in himself and
his work, he has reached q very proud place
among his fellows, while still in the prime Of @
hale and vigorous manhood. His executive
ability is great. He knows every detail of the
vast business and watches its daily progress.
with a marvellous approach to omnipresence.
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
tion, he has never neglected his highest duties
and privileges as a citizen. Always foremost
in everything conducive to the public welfare.
actively interested in affairs of church. State.
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem he has earned SO
honorably waits impatiently for fitting oppor-
tunity to do him honor in kind.
The younger members of the firm, who have
been active partners for a decade of years, had
been trained In the business under the tuition
of their senior for some time previous, and the
partnership only served to concentrate their
energies. They are young men OF sterling
natural ability, and seem to have been particu-
larry well fitted for the positions assigned them
Mr.. julius Estey is at the head of the counting
room and supervises the mathematical intrica-
cies of the immense business with a clear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered a
synonym for uniform correctness The count
ing-room Of a manufactory is where its. heart
beats. Health there means strong and
regular pulsation through all the veins and
arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr.. Fuller
is at the head of the mechanics of the concern.
His native talent, stimulated by thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and in
dispensable in the long and uninterrupted Sc
ries of experiments and inventions which, I'M
der his ready and intelligent guidance, have
been combined in the complete whole known as
the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are,
equally with their elder, in the van Of every
movement that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity as reliable progressive.
faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as
in their personal affairs. Character stamps
these men as it does their manufactures. Posi-
tive merit is the underlying principle of their
success.

A PuZzling State.
From the Boston Globe.

Massachusetts, is in one respect a
pulling state. The population is in
creasing rapidly-at a much greater
ratio now than ten or twenty years ago
yet, on the other hand, much of the
cultivated land is relapsing into 81
wilderness. Even between Boston and
Worcester, are few miles where you
seem to be suddenly transported to
some half-settled region of Wisconsin.
You overlook lonely lakes, great
stretches of pine aud birch forests, and
distant ranges of hills where scarcely 3
dwelling is to be seen. In Plymouth
county, on the country roads, you con-
tinually pass theruins of houses, and you
ride for miles through scrubby roads,
where the tumbled line of stone fences
tell of former fields. This decay will
probably go on until all the virgin fer
tility OF the West is occupied-then
possibly, there may be a "rehuent
wave" pouring over the exhausted
lands of the East.

A QUEER STORY.
A Race of Men With Tails.

The London Pail MaH Gazette says: A
Wesleyan missionary, Rev. George
Brown, has returned in safety from an
exploration Of twenty months on the
unknown coasts of New Britain and
New Ireland. He crossed the latter
island, which he found well populated.
No white man was ever seen inland
before, and no opposition was offered
to the explorers. A difficulty was ex-
perlenced In getting the natives to go
any distance from their villages, as
they are SO often at war with one an
other. Plenty Of proofs of cannabal-
ism We're found. One Of the party, on
going into q house to light his pipe, saw
a woman roasting the thigh and leg of
a man who was killed the DAY before"
The exploring party were interested in
the legend of the tailed men" which
is met with In many uneivilized coun-
tries, but did not, unfortunately, sue
coed In getting any further than sec
ond-hand testimony. The natives, it
is stated, "of Blanche Bay, New
Britain affirm positively the existence
of race of men with tails at q place
called Kali, and deny Indignantly that
they are monkeys, asking if monkeys
could fight with spears and plant ysms,
make houses, ETC." But it is significant
ly added that the mysterious race dwell
In the interior of the country where
no white man has ever penetrated"
Mr.. Cockerell, q naturalist, who accom-
panied the expedition. had special OPP
pOrtunities of research. He was de-
tanned for some time as hostage in
New Britain, and was engaged in "col-
Letting" upon New Ireland for five
months. He found the natives "very
friendly" but does not otherwise give
them good character. "They are all
dreadful cannibals, and there is a
custom IN New Ireland which requires
that a chiefs daughter shall be kept in
cage In her fathers house until she is
Of manageable age. The cage
scarcely gives her room to move, and
she cannot leave it during any part of
the day, although she is allowed to
take q stroll with near relatives after
nightfall. When 3 chief dies his body
is wrapped up and placed in a tree, and
the poor people put in canoes in
the sea to float away. The natives have
large plantations, and work about two
days in the week. The live chiefly on
bananas, cocoanuts and pork, but they
also indule IN human flesh.
