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 X. Fuller. Mr.. Estey,
senior, is the veteran reed organ maker Of
America, if not of the world He begun the
business in Brattle horo', thirty years ago, in a
single room. with six workmen, and has make
MS way constantly forward in 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.
Isodding on and on, smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resolutely on ali
obstacles, with indomitable faith in himself and
his work, he has reached 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 marvellous approach to omnipresence
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
ton, 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 arc young men OF sterling
natural ability, and seem TO have been particu-
larry well fitted for the positions assigned them
Mr.. Julius Tsstey 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 DO considered a
synonym for uniform correctness. The count
ing-rOOm of a mandatory 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
that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity US 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.

to dupe the ignorant and creduloUs by recon-
mending them to cure every form OF disease
To such an extent has this been pIactised that
it is no wonder that many have acquired pre-
JUDGES against all advertised remedies. But
DR.. Pierce does not advertise his standard
preparations as "cure-alls," does not claim
that they will perform miracles but simply
publishes the fact that they have been devel-
Oped as specifics for certain forms of disease
for which he recommends them, after having
tested their efficacy in many hundred cases
with the most gratifying success. 1t is fact
known to every well-informed physician that
many single remedies possess several differ
ent properties. Quinine, for instance, has q
touic quality, which suggests its use in cases
o. debility; an anti-periodic, by which 1t is
nficacious in ague; and febrifuge property,
which renders it efficacious in cases of lever.
The result of its administration will also vary
with the quantity given and the circumstances
under which it is employed. So, likewise, the
Golden Medical Discovery possesses both
pectoral and Alternative, or blood-cleansing
properties OF the highest order. BY reason OF
these two prominent properties it cures two
classes of diseases. First, those of the respl-
ratory organs, as throat, bronchial, and lung
affections, chronic coughs and asthma, and
second, diseases OF the blood and glandular
system, in which affections all skilltul physi-
cians employ Alternatives, as in cases oiblotch-
es, eruptions ulcers, swellings, tumors, alb
scesses, and in torpor OF the liver or "bllllous-
ness" While its use is, by its combination
of properties. suggested in cases of pulmonary
consumption, yet you need not take 1t ex-
pC citing it will cure you ii yonr lungs are half
consumed, nor because it is recommended as
a blood medicine would its proprietor advise
Won to take it expecting it to cure cancer. 1t
will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms OF disease.

An Ounce OF Prevention.

For obvious reasons more farm prop
erty is destroyed by fire in winter than
during any other season, and since the
appliances for controlling fires after
they break out are few and nearly al
ways inadequate, extreme and con-
slant vigilance should be exercised.
The most frequent causes are defect
i've flues, especially where the stove
pipes are inserted or where ceilings
are pierced for pipes; and carelessness
in the use of matches and kerosene.
Where pipes enter brickwork a large
sheet of tin or iron closely Citing the
pipe should be nailed firmly to the
brickwork and the lower part turned
up to form n gutter in which casual
sparks may fall. Kerosene is always
a treacherous article, nearly as danger
Gus and destructive as gunpowder, and
should be used only in stationary
lamps set into brackets. It's use in
portable lamps of the usual pattern is
perpetual menace to life and property.
This is especially true of the ordinary

How a Young Life Went Out.

san Francisco Newsletter.
An affecting incident occurred at the
Academy of Music lately. Among the
audience was a wealthy family, one
of the members of which has for years
been in delicate health. and was born
deaf and dumb. Ii has been the Gus
tom of the family to take their afflicted
daughter with them to the theatre, as
she seemed TO enjoy the excitement
and action although she could not hear
a sound. 1t was observed that she
seemed very much amused at the COM
.calities of Mr.. Sol Smith Russell. and
enjoyed the changes of his facial eX-
preston as much as any of the audi
ence. When SignOr TagliapietTa came
on to sing it was noticed that curious
light came into her eyes, and stretch
ing out ner arm to her mother, she
spelled on her fingers with the greatest
excitement. the words, ''Mamma,
hear" The next piece was an orches-
trail arrangement of ''Trovatore'" As
the composition proceeded the tears
flowed down the poor girls cheeks and
her excitement became so great that
it was deemed prudent to leave the
theatre. On reaching home the ex.
haustion produced by the events OF the
evening was such that the family ply
stefan was summoned. As she lay on
the couch she reached for her slate and
wrote: Mother, think heaven must
be music" The next day, in accord.
ance with her wishes, MIR. Russell was
sent for. and he kindly came and sang
for the little sufferer. 1t was too late.
Death had marked the child for his
own, and she did not even smile. The
little lips are cold now, and there is a
vacant chair in the family circle.

THE nIANUFACTnRY.

The Estey Organ mandatory is well worth
a visit to any interested in mechanical and art
progress. The works are situated on an eleva-
ted plateau. overlooking "A considerable portion
of the village Of Brattleboro'. They consist OF
eight main slate covered factories, which are
forty feet apart, three stories high, one hundred
feet long, ard from thirty to thirty-eight feet
wide. Near by is gas house, which supplies
not only the factories, but some portions Of the
village, with Illuminating gas of excellent quail
ity. A steam fire engine, named -. Estey, -
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 hum
dred woTkmCn 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,
ranged to suit the taste of the occupants. The
cheerful hum of machinery mingles with the
chirping of thousands of reeds, and sends forth
a-not discordant song of industry which pene-
trates many Of the pleasant homes of the work.
