The wreck is about IT'S feet long and

PIANOS IN NATURAL WOODS.


Steiaway & Sons, the well-known piano
makers, have made great change in the
cases of many of their pianos. The demand
lately has been so strong for woods finished
in natural colors that this conservative
house has yielded to the wishes of the pub
lie and now has in stock large number Of
the instruments finished In white and San
Domingo mahogany, black walnut, Englis h
and American oak aud white and gold
enamel in the style Of Louis XIV. and Louis
XVI. TGese pianos make as beautiful
ornaments for parlor or drawing room as
it is possible to imagine. To show their
beauty 30 better advantage the firm has had
parlor specially fitted up, where the pianos
are exhibited under electric iighU and with
the surroundings OF drawing room.
1t is almost unnecessary to refer to the
worldwide reputation which the house of
Steinway & Sons has attained. Since 1858,
when they began business in this city, they
have made nearly $4,000 pianos. Their
manufacturing establishments in this couu-
try and Germany are the largest In the
world. -Neto York Tribune.
No pianist of modern times has created
such perfect storm of enthusiasm as Ienace
Paderewski. the Russian virtuoso, heard in
this country for the first time this winter.
The Soberest aud severest critics have had
nothing but praise for his playing, and the
recitals have become tho fashionable musi-
cal events OF the year. Paderewski plays

AVeFage prices OF COLONIAL
London. lsT2-lS9I.

Since 1872 prices have declined about
100 per cent. The explanation is
found in the fact that the number Of
sheep as well as the average weight Of
fleece has rapidly increased from year to
year in all the countries from which the
London market is supplied. In 1870
Australia produced l34. 600, 900 pounds
Of wool, ID 1890, 265, 600, 000--an in-
ere use Of nearly 100 per cent. During
the same time the production of the Ar
gcntine Republic went from l67 ,000'-

Prosperity to the farmer means SINH
lar conditions to all who labor; but pros
perity must first come from the farm,
and through the farm to the factory
The farm stands at the threshold of pro-
duction, and if the farmers labor goes
unrewarded success cannot come to those
who base their hopes upon what he pro-
duces. The vast interest repre- scnted in
manufacturing. transportation, mining,
and the minor industries must look to
agriculture as blsis for all calculations
for the future. 1t then follows that the
home market is the market worth con-
sidering; and the political party that
lims to impair lis consuming power
should be denounced as common enc
envy. publicly arrayed against prosperity.
All perishable products must fin mar
ket near home to be valuable. IL is far
easier to bring the factory with its EN-
p,oyes TO the vicinity Of the farm than it
is to transport the perishable product to
the great centres Of trade. The increase
ef farm property within radius of ten
or twenty miles of large factory can be
used to demonstrate this truth.
