double repeating action-three Strings throughout
of best patent steel wire-keys best ivory. Our
new patent steel tuning device, instead of wood,
is the greatest invention ever made in pianos, Il
consists of stationary steel tuning pins that are
set in a mold and molten Steel is run round the
pins keeping them solidly in place. thimble or
shell pin is made to exactly fit the stationary pin,
revolving thereon; thus the strings wind round
the pins After the strings are properly stretched
the piano can get out of tune the rest plank

mate. This will be appreciated BY all musieians
in city or country 1t will stand 20 years without
tuning, and is good for 100. No other piano has
this improvement.
Great strength and durability is another advsn-
tage. In other pianos holes are bored In wooden
boards and tuning pins inserted The pins turn
round in this board and cannot stand permanent-
ly in tune and it often cracks, splits, dries out,
becomes utterly, totally and entirely worthless
a musical instrument. Our Steel tuning device
is in no way affected by such casualties, and the
sounding board is SO constructed that our pianos
can never become thin metallic in tone. They
are always in tune and the expense of tuning Is
| saved. This patent alone is worth millions and
makes our piano the greatest in the World. Prices

Horse Blankets which are strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for few cents less and
by saying they are "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then

The inventor claims that he has solved
the problem OF continuous ring spinning

principle of the new invention lies in
the use OF three rollers, two Of which
rotate in one direction and then in the

Strange Marital Customs OF Little Afrie.

an COLONY on the Congo.
With the Kabinda the bride and
groom Immediately after marriage are
locked in hut which must never have
been occupied before, and are there
kept close prisoners for three months,
except that at every midnight the old
men OF the town take the groom and
the old women the bride and escort
them to the 'fetich man." to whom
they appeal for children. During this
time, however, they are we'll supplied
with both food and drink. At the end
OF the three months great feast is
held, when the prisoners are released
and the hut where they had been con-
fined Is burned, and thus their honey
moon is brought to an end.
The ceremony OF marriage among
these people is conducted by the differ
ent tribes in manner that Is common
to them all.
When native wants wife, II there
is none in his own town to suit him, he
sends to some neighboring chief ask
ing II there is n girl in his town Of the
age desired. II the answer is in the
Affirmative, he then presents his case
to the old men of his town, and after
''palaver, or talk, at which there is
the drinking Of much rum, they agree
that he may bring home as wife
woman from another town.
After securing this permission he,
with presents in his hands for the
Precipitation Of the spirit powers, visits
the head "fetich man." and, after
listening to his many prayers, receives
charm. He is then ready to seek his
bride.
In the meantime the women of his
town-maids, wives and widows-hav-
ing been advised OF his intention and
being incensed by this sighting them
in selecting stranger, are prepared,
as they are allowed by their laws to
do. to prevent his leaving until their
charms have been admitted and their
indignation allayed by many presents.
The custom. despite every precaution
of the man. often ends in disputes
which are settled only by an appeal to
the ''fetich man. and "sussiwood."
However, having overcome the diff
ficulties of his departure, he arrives at
and is received in his prospective
brides town by the old men of the
place and by them conducted to the
'palaver house," where there is more
talk and more rum. The presents he
has brought having been found ac-
ceptable, he is then allowed to know
the parents Of the girl he is seeking,
and from them learns the sum in
beads, rum, cloth, etc., he has to pay
before he can secure her. This usual
ly represents in value about ten dol
lars. This matter having been
satisfactorily settled, he returns
to his town and forwards the
goods as agreed upon. At the
setting of the sun on the day
appointed for the closing of the con.
tract the bride, naked except for being
painted with different colored chalks.
accompanied by her parents and
friends, arrives at the home Of the
groom. There they are received with
much rejoicing, gun-firing, drum-beat-
ing. dancing and feasting. This is
continued until both man and woman
are exhausted by their orgies, when
they are bundled into the hut to re-

WHAlE.MEAT AS DIET.

n Pleasant Picture for Epicures in All
Parts of the World.
Talk of butchers shops. A whale is
whole meat market in itself. 1t is
a floating Smithfield, marine edition
of Copenhagen fields, an entire Bill
lingsgate. Nobody need never starve
when whales are in season. A few of
them would provision a city for a long
siege. Fortunately, as the world grows
older, 1t learns to judge moro fairly Of
neglected kinds Of provisions. 1t is q
pity that the true value Of whale flesh
has not been discovered long ago.
How many poor families might have
been amply fed If only "whale ex-
tract" had come into fashion years
back. Commands should also show
their gratitude for the gift OF fresh
flavor. 1t must be admitted. with re-
gret, but without hesitation, that the
list Of ordinary articles Of food is very
limited, and that beef and mutton are
apt to become monotonous, and even
varied with fish and poultry, and all
the eatable fruits of the earth as we'll.
The edibility Of the whale is, therefore,
an exciting discovery.
The only drawback to the pleasant
picture which arises when the mind
contemplates $4,000 people dining off
one animal is contained in the thought
that whales, when they are proved to
be valuable for dietetic purposes, will
be hunted until they become scarce
and perhaps extinct. To guard against
this danger we have no doubt that
whale breeding would come into fash
ion. People who found other forms of
food culture unremuneratlve might re-
move to countries where the climate
allowed whales to live in comfort and
establish whale farms at the mouths Of
tidal waters. There is, in fact, no end
to the opening for enterprise and in
genuitv which are available, owing to
this remarkable addition to the do
mestic larder. Medical Classics.
