A Plano for Sdolll

Chicago's most prominent music
house, Lyon & Healy, have number of
slightly used and second hand pianos,
taken in trade, used in concerts, and in
fact not brandnew instruments, which
they have determined to sacrifice rather
than to try to make room for. These
instruments comprise Square pianos at
$40, s65, 800 300 and 1925. Upright
pianos at 1923, $40, $780, slG5, sl9O,
5000, 1925, S2i0 and upward. Grand
pianos at 5000, $3.50, 5000 and upward.
Nearly all originally sold for from two
to four times their present price. Al
most all prominent makes) in squares
and uprights) are represented, includ-
ing among numerous others Chickering.
Knabe, Steinway, Weber, Decker,
Steck, Fischer, etc. This is an oppor-
tunity that will not occur again, as Lyon
& Healy never had SO many pianos of
this class before. Immediate attention
is necessary. A good plan would be to
order piano, leaving the selection to
Lyon & Healy. However, they viii
send list and full particulars upon ap-
plication. Any piano not proving sat
isfactory may be returned at their ex-
pense. Address at their new sales
rooms, corner Wabash Avenue and
Adams Street, Chicago. Distance is no
obstacle in taking advantage Of this re-
markable chance to obtain piano, for
in proportion to the saving to be made,
the freight charges are insignificant.
II you do not already know them by
reputation any banker will assure you
OF Lyon e. Healy's entire responsibility
for honorable dealing. Write to-day SO
as to avoid disappointment.

California.

SO beautiful is the scenery of Cali
fornia that Nature must have expended
more than her usual energy in its
creation, and especially is this true
during the months Of march and April,
when the rainy season has passed and
flowers bloom everywhere. Fortunate,
indeed, is the person who can exchange
the wintry climate of the East for the
ilower-perfumed and healthful atmos-
phere of California, and no better
method of doing this can be had than
participating in the second "Golden
Gate tour, organized under the perfect
personally conducted tourists system Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The tourists will leave New York and
Philadelphia March II, 1896, and return
to those cities May I, allowing four and
one-half weeks in California.
A new feature to the magnificent
train used for these tours in previous
years is a through Pullman compart-
ment car.
The car, which will be the very best
that the Pullman Company can supply
will contain nine inclosed compart-
ments-two drawing rooms and seven
state rooms-and will be attached to
the special train at Jersey City and run
through to San Francisco.
Application for space or itineraries
giving all information should be made

"Buying goods on credit is largely a
habit" remarked a well known mer.
chant one evening this week in discuss
ing the credit system. II people could
not obtain credit they would find some
way of paying cash. The best proof Of
this is found in the case of railroad trav-
cling. People know if they do not pay
cash for their tickets they cannot
travel. Why should it be more of a
hardship to pay cash for groceries than
to pay cash for railroad tickets? All
that is necessary to bring cash paying
is laying low for week or two and
catching up. People who buy goods on
credit are led into purchasing goods
they can get along very well without.
In this way they keep on mortgaglng
their futures. The money earned to-
day goes to pay for the purchase yester-
day, while the purchases of to-day are a
charge against the earnings of to-mor-
row.

The last Legislature passed an act
making it the duty of the assessors at
the spring (ls96) registration of voters
to make in substantial book, provided
by the county commissioners for that
purpose, list of children between the
ages OF eight and thirteen years, giving
name, age and residence of each child
and whether in charge of parent,
guardian or other person, together with
such other information as may be deem
ed necessary. State Superintendent
Schaetfer, who has issued instructions
regarding the registering of children
under the act of 1895, just referred to,
says: ''After consultation with school
men and others have reached the con-
clusion that the book should be ruled
with the following columns Name OF
child, residence, or sub-school district;
age, sex, color, the number OF weeks at
school during this school year, cause OF
non-attendance In case OF prolonged
absence, name OF parent, guardian or

Postponement of Mr.. Elhott's Lecture.

Photographic slides with which he
intends to illustrate his lecture on
Astronomy, Mr.. Elliott has requested a
postponement until the desired objects

taken in the great Lick telescope on
Mount Hamilton, Cal. These are con-
sidered the best produced, and give the

Astronomy by photography. Mr.. FL

Florida.

There Is no doubt but that every one
has had at some time desire to visit
Florida, the Land of Flowers" and
that many have been deferred from so
doing by the thought of long and tire
some railroad journey, great expense,
and thousand and one other objec-
tions. These have been overcome by
the Inauguration Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's personally conduct
ed tours to Jacksonville. A special
train Of unexcelled equipment makes
the run from New York to Jacksonville
in thirty hours; tourist agent and a
chaperon accompany each tour TO look
after the comfort of passengers while
On route: and the low rates offered bring
the tours within the means of almost
every one. The tours, allowing two
weeks stay in Florida, will leave New
York and Philadelphia on February %
and March 3, 1896. The rate, including
transportation, meals en- route, and
Pullman berth on special train is $50 90
from New York and $500 from Phila-
delpha; proportionate rates from other
points.
For further information apply to
Ticket Agents, or address Tourist

Prof Huxley says: SIT is too often
true of the unhappy children who are
forced TO rise early in their classes that
they are conceited all the forenoon of
life and stupid all its afternoon. The
vigor and freshness which should have
been stored up for the purpose of the
hard struggle for existence in practical
life has been washed out of them by
precocious mental debauchery--by book
gluttony and lesson bibbing. Their
faculties are worn out by the strain put
upon their callow brains, and they are
demoralized by worthless childish
triumph before the real work of life
begins. have no compassion for sloth
but youth has more use for intellectual
rest than age, and the cheerfulness, the
tenacity of purpose, the power of work,
which makes many a successful man
what he is, must often be placed to the
credit not of his hours of industry. but
to that of his hours of idleness in boy
hood

To School Directors.

We publish the following at the re-
quest of the jefferson county Woman's
Christian Temperance Union
The pursuit of the study of physio-
logical temperance, by "all pupils in
all schools" as the law demands, re-
quires at least three lessons week for
fourteen weeks of each school year
below the second year of the high
school. Allowing twenty minutes to n
lesson for all grades above the primary,
this requirement would amount to only
fourteen hours per year: but II carried
through the several years between the
primary and the second year of the
high school, 1t would give sufficient
time for thorough comprehension Of
the subject, without encroaching upon
other studies.
Pupils should be- furnished with well
graded textbooks on physiology aud
hygien, containing the special facts
concerning the nature and effects Of
alcoholic drinks. tobacco, and other
narcotics, that the laws require to- be
taught.
As thorough examinations or tests
shonld b. required in this study as in
other branches. The same marking
system should be used. and such marks
should enter into the general averages
which decides the rank of the pupils.
The penalty for noncompliance with
the above requirements is the loss of
state appropriation. Several counties
in the state have lost the state appro-
priation for Noncompliance as the
secretaries Of the school boards were
unable to fill out the affidavit and cer-
tiicate stating that the study had been
taught. AS the statement is sworn or
affirmed to before justice of the peace,
you can see what the offense is II the
paper is filed out falsely.
There Is no distinct statement In the
law of penalty for not using any special
book, but the "School Laws and De-
cisions of Pennsylvania" page 1855,
paragraphs l50, 100, and l6l, edition OF
1894, prescribe that suitable books shall
be used. Books which do not teach
the truth concerning the nature of
alcoholic drinks, stimulants, and mar
cotics, are not suitable books. and when
such books are used the meaning and
intent of the law are not carried out.
Its spirit is violated.
The foregoing are extracts from cir
cular letters, written by N. A. ShaiTer,
superintendent Of public instruction of
Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Mary +. Lowell,
state superintendent of scientific tenn
perauce instruction.

This case was perhaps the most in

The contending parties were the
Baltimore committee, which repre-
sented a majority of the bonds secured
by liens on the lines OF railroad from
Greensboro to Mount Airy, or ''B''
bonds on the line from Fayetteville to
Wilmington, or &C" bonds and nearly
a third Of the 81" bonds. or the bonds
on the line from Greensboro through
Fayetteville to Bennetsville. s. c., and
the New York committee, which repre-
sents about two-thirds Of the a.
bonds, and a small part of ''B' and C
bonds
The Baltimore committee desired the
road sold as an entirety, and the value
of the three sections determined by a
reference to a commission. The New
York committee desired the road sold
first as a whole, and then sold in the
three divisions to determine the value
of the three sections.
The second or consolidated mort
gage is a first lien on only about thirty.

A STORY FOR THE CHILDREN.

Some days ago, Mr.. Dughi offered a
prize to the girl under twelve years
old who would give the best story why
the wren never flew higher than the
fence. He got over a bushel of replies,
three of which were so good that he
divided the prize between them. They
were Misses Frances Lacy, Marguerite
Walker, and the daughter of Capt.
Joseph Rem, of Durahm. The reply
of little Miss Lacy is so good that we
give it to the readers of the News and
Observer as follows:
"a great many years ago, when birds
talked and voted like men, great
many birds met together and had a
picnic. Mr.. A. Dughi furnished some
fried oysters, ice cream and a great
deal of elegant fruits, such as make
peoples mouths water now.
They wanted to choose a king. They
did not know who to choose and at
last one said, The one who can fly the
highest will be king
"a little wren jumped on an eagles
back, and the eagle flew very high in
deed.
when all were on the ground again,
every one said that the eagle was to
he king. Then the little wren popped
up and said, I flew higher than the
eagle, because / was on the eagles
back
''Then the birds were going to kill
the wren, but they said that if they
ever saw him fly higher than a fence
they were going to kill him.
