Perhaps it would be too much to ex-

how would it do to amend that rule SO
as to make it prohibit the carrying of

Likeness of English and Americans.

As respects character, the British and
American publics are strikingly at one.
The tone of popular sentiment is much
the same. The attitude toward ques-
tions of general human interest is often
identical. Political ideals are, at bot
tom, not so unlike as superficial observ-
ers fancy. Party spirit manifests itself
in very similar fashion. Both are sensi-
tive, though in slightly varying degrees,
to tho same appeals. The same national
spirit animates both, showing itself in
quite characteristic fashion when the
jealousy of one is aroused against the
other. Indeed it is in their mutual rival
ries and jealousies that their spiritual
kinship is often most manifest. Their
diversity is superficial and provincial
their unity fundamental and racial

of provincialism in England and the

Unique Pianos.

"All manner of articles in place of
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. l suppose you know that
pianos for very hot and very cold eli
mates-all instruments for export, in
fact-have to be specially made, and in
this direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, sort

tually common molasses, from which
sugar is made, is employed, and COM

has been tried. Ivory pianos are by no
means uncommon, and the dowager
Countess of Dudley has magnificent
carved specimen. Pianos of ivory are,
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,
one was only recently completed by q
London firm for the nizam of Haidara-

times been made Of bronze, species Of

He says that when he left johannesburg

they resented Boer oppression, were OPP
posed to any movement that might end

there now would be reduced before the
rapid influx of Englishmen that would
