Unique Pianos.

''All manner of articles in place of
wood have been used in the manufac-
ture Of pianos" says one Of the great
est English piano makers. Perhaps the
most successful of these is paper, of
which many pianos Of exquisite tone
and appearance have been made. The
Duke of Devonshire has one Of the finest
specimens of the paper piano, this being
of French make, and decorated most Or
nately with pictures by French artists
The duke gave 500 guineas for this,
mainly, no doubt, on account OF the Or
namentation. / suppose you know that
pianos for very hot and very cold eli
mates-all instruments for export, III
fact-have to be specially made, and III
this direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, a sort
of cellulose, one factor i'll which is &C
tually common molasses, from which
sugar is made, is employed, and com
position made from the chemical treat
ment Of gutta percha and leather pulp
has been tried. Ivory pianos are by no
means uncommon, and the dowager
Countess of Dudley has magnificent
carved specimen. Pianos of ivory are, i
might say, made every year in numbers,
but chiefly for Indian princes and rich
Spanish Americans. Many pianos OF
solid silver have been made; indeed,

THEIR OWN PHYSICIANS.


sef Doctoriag Promoted by the Use of Med
icines In Compressed Tablets.
Not only has the general introduction
Of medicine in tho form Of compressed
tablets simplitied tho work of the doc

doctoring The number Of remedies put
up in this form for popular use con-
stantly increases. Many druggists make
b speciality of these things. You see
them displayed near the soda water
fountain, put up in small bottles and
sold at prices that must yield hand
some profit. Half dozen remedies for
indigestion are thus sold, some contain
ing pepsin as the active principle, 9th
ers containing soda mint, some bismuth,
some charcoal or more powerful disin-
fectants. Some are designed to remove
ac1dity of the stomach; others to attack
catarrhal condition. Others are to pro-
woke appetite, and still others are to
promote one or another natural funo-
ton. A dozen headache cures are sold in
this fashion, and the different emolli-
ents for the throat are almost innumera-
BILE. There are grip tablets, liver tab
let's, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have eschewed patent
medicines all their lives buy these tab
lets Of one sort or another, because
most of them are supposed to be well
recognized remedies. Most Of the tab
let's are advertised only in medical jour
nails, in accordance with the require
ments of the medical code, and many
of them, no doubt, have obtained their
popularity through their use by reputa-
BILE physicians.
Quinine, which is now extremely
cheap, is sold largely in the form Of
two grain pills or in larger pills con.
tanning iron. Although believed by
many physicians to be dangerous rem
edy, it has long been self prescribed by
all sorts of persons, especially in mala.
rial regions, and it is one of the RENE.
dies most frequently bought without
prescription. 1t is self prescribed for
malaria in its many forms, to check q
cold in its early stages, and as tonic.
Stimulants Of one sort or another are
sold in this form, but more especially
perhaps at the soda fountain, which has
become a sort of medical dispensary,
Many headache remedies are dispensed
at the soda fountain. Some are recon-
mended or suggested by the attendant,
but many persons have their favorites
among the various sedatives and febri-
fuges, and some are called for as regu.
larly as the fruit sirups. New remedies
are constantly introduced through the
soda fountains, and many old ones have
long been included in the annually
lengthening list of the soda water dis
pensers New York Sun.
