the time. You cannot be sure that you
are pleasing the mother BY saying It

him. But still the mother desires to find
the beautiful in her features reproduced
in the baby, and she il willing to concede
that possibly mentally the boy may take
after his father. On the other hand, she
may wish to believe it Is like its father.

Those householders who have passed
through the experience are well aware
that the task Of measuring q dwelling
for carpets is formidable M It occu-
pies q great deal Of time, ven with ex-
perts, in making diagrams, taking fig
ures, etc. One of the large retail firms
in this city has adopted a system in this
regard whereby q great deal Of time Is
saved. Every house that is measured
for carpets is entered on q book indexed
for streets and numbers. Whenever q
new order is handed in this book is
searched to see whether the house has
ever been measured before. As the firm
in question has been in business since
Chicago has been a city, it has upon its
books q record Of the floor measurements
Of more than half Of the houses in town,
and a great deal of time is saved thereby.
If the measurements Of q house are in
the book they are taken of, and a man
visits the place to see that no changes
have been made. Thus he can accom-
plish in ten minutes what would ordi-
nar;iy take three or four hours. Such
are the benefits 81 a thorough system

With the attainment Of perfect piano

writer, musical art win seek new In
stTumsnt from which greater daliGht
may be evolved. The sams writer sug-
gests that such new instrument Vim com
bine wind power with strings-t the or.

not, at this time, attempt to oonezorGt
the German writer's spsculationA - eths
instrument Of the future. We wfn, bow
ever, venture to disagrse with his insinu-
ton that the sun Of the piano Il setting.
In its very nature that noble instrument
is enduring.
1t is the latest of . series Of develop
ments that began many generations ago.
Possibly it Is destined 10 stin higher devel-
opments. It, however, has . distinctive
power Of answering to and illustrating
every emotion Of grief. joy. pleasure or
pain that agitates the bosom Of the. COM
poser, and, moreover, of arousing the
same emotions in all sympathetic listen
ers. This alone will cause the piano to
survive, at least until tho nature Of man
Is changed.
This power is the result Of the strug-
Cling efforts of men toward an ideal; ef-
forts akin to those that have been put
forth by Eoble natures in the develop
ment Of other arts. Brooklyn bridge Il

whose fearful simplicity Of sound the
wandering IONS of Israel were reminded
that the time to perform certain religious
duties had arrived. The crude, barbaric
Asiatic lutte. with body Of makeskin and
. couple Of coarse strings, Is seen in
more artistic form in the guitar, the vio-
lin, the mandolin.
Most musical instruments have arrived

may be susceptible Of further develop
