A GREAT PIANO BUSINESS.
Popularity of the Needham Indstru-
ment-More Spa e feeded.

The rapid increase and constant grow
ing demand for the Needham Pianos
compelled the Company TO look for other
and more spacious quarters. These they
save obtained in a plot covering an
grea of eleven acres, in New Jersey,
miles from New York, on the D., L..
II w. r. R., giving them m-uch-needed
loom for the storage of their immense
quantities of lumber, drying-houses, and
all necessary railroad facilities.
The factory is one of the largest in
America, and is fully equipped with the
latest improved and finest machinery
known to the art and science of piano
construction. The action of the Need
nam pianos is u~@equalled, owing to the
elasticity and perfect venness of touch,
combining both delicacy and strength.
After years of u~nceasing labor in ex-
p~erimehting, they are enabled to re-
produce for the first time in the history
of the upright piano, the result or erect

PIPE SMOKING.
1t Has Created AN Extensive and
Profitable Industry.

The latest e-xtravagant mania is the
pipe collecting habit. This is a recent
importation from London, where pipes
have been in high favor since the Prince
of Wales took to a bulldog. Very ex-
pensive articles in that line have bee in
troduced into the metropolis this season,
and $40 is not a high price to pay for
some creations. The Turkish pipe is be-
ing bought with eagernes-, and some of
them are, in realty, great vases, up to
which a party of clubmen may draw
their chairs and puff ava in close COM
munion and a circumscribed circle.
George w. Vanderbilt, while he does
not smoke pipes, has become a collector
of them on quite an elaborate scale, and
his smoking room in the lonely mansion
thing imaginable in that way.
Any man who walks along Fifth avenue
itself can see the gilded youth OF the city
perambulating the t-heroughfare with a
pipe stuck between q set of clinched
teeth. In one respect this craze is benefi-
cial, since 1t developes an industry in
which thousands Of men find substance.
1t is not to be supposed for a moment
that the tons of pipes displayed in store
windows all over the country are i'm
ported, as they are claimed to be. There
is already a large concern in the me-
'socalled German and Turkish pipes,
and these are sold to purchasers as i'm
ported articles. In the same way about
one-half of the French briar pipes sold
are manufactured in Pennsylvania. One
man in New York who makes pipes of
fantastic design clears So, 900 annually by
his skilled manual Observation-Disclosures
Press.

HoNoRs EVEN.
National Docks and Peunsy Cos Each
Wins and Loses a Suit.

The Court of Errors and Appeals yes
terday gave two decisions in the inter-
minable litigation pending between the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and the Ma
tional Docks Co. The first decision was
in the suit of the National Docks Com
pany v. Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. h Court holds that where a
statute directs that under certain circum-
stances persons may pay money into court
or to the clerk of the court, such pay
ment cannot lawfully be made without
a special order of the court, unless the
established rules or practice of the court
dispense with such an order. Unanim-
ously confirmed.
In the second suit of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the United New
Jersey Railroad and Canal Company VS..
National Docks and New Jersey Junction
Connecting Railway Company, the Court
held that the dismissal of an original
bill does not involve the dismissal or
the cross bill, so far as the latter seeks
relief; so far as is necessary to MAINTAIN
a defence against the complainant. a
preliminary injunction Is properly re-
fused when there exists no reasonable
ground for granting it. Unanimously
affirmed.
The result of these decisions is that in

h&ty Ot WELtCASE1 ue
1t happened at one of the inland lake
resorts of Wisconsin. A young mar from
Chicago was stopping there with his
wife, and the wife had wandered down
to the shore of the lake to enjoy the
evening breeze. A short pier jutting out
into the lake looked inviting, and she
went out on it unnindful of several
small urchins who were lowering about
the ~boathouse at the shore end of the
pier. 4 few minutes later her husband
came to the lake to join her, but was m
terrupted by one of the urchins.
Say, mister. is that your grip asked

isWell, you tell her to go home, cause
we Boys wants to go in swimmin, said
the youngster, and, thinking that would
settle the matter, they all retired 10
the boathouse to undress.
The young man promptly informed MS
wife of the request, but she was enjoying
herself, and was not anxious to leave.
She laughed and called to a new arrival
at the boathol;se. !.

POULTRY AND vERMIN-
A Easement Retreat that Was safs
from All PESTS.

from All Pests.
Some years since, when removing to a
new place where there was a scarcity of
outbuildings, our poultry was put into a
cellar to rcost. The house was an unused
kitchen and the basement walls were OF
brick. The interior was dry and with a
temperature quite uniform the year
round, being warm in winter, and cool in
summer. Altogether the basement proved
a very good place for poultry. and after
a few months l concluded to fix 1t up per
manently. On removing the former
roosts and nests to provide better ones, l
was surprised to find that there was no
vermin upon any of the timbers nor any
where within the cellar. The poultry
must have had vermin when they were
first put into the basement, for the old
house from which theywere taken showed
it plainly enough. 1 now put the base
ment in through order, everything tidy,
with new nests and roosts.
From that time 1 watched the cellar
closely for vermin, but nom were ever
observed there. 1 kept poultry in that
basement for about six years, a time long
enough, certainly, to test thoroughly the
matter, and from beginning to end no
yermin were ever seen therein. l am
sure of this fact, for the discovery was so
remarkable that I made repeated exam
nations to see if any vermin could be
found, and to discover, If l could, the
cause of it's absence. 1t certainly was
new to me to have a poultry house with
out vermin, and l never had poultry in
healthier condition or laying better thai
during those six years.
I found the poultry business both pleas
ant and profitable. Yet l never could de-
eide what it was that kept the parasites
away from the fowls and the house ex-
cept it may have been the brick walls,
tina were always a little cool and moist
to the touch Of the hand and probably
not suited to the life of the vermin.
Whatever the true cause may be, the
fact remains that this basement poultry
house, with wall of brick, surrounded
by earth nearly to the top on the outside,
with a good roof overhead and kept
clean and dry, made a roosting place
where no vernin would come to feed
upon and annoy the fowls.-American
