The appointment of the "sang digging

professor of horticulture and arboricul-
ture of the A. & NJ. College was made
manifest in the flesh yesterday by the
Executive committee of the Board of

the fact that Prof. Massey's scientific

would be done, and as it is known of

for weeks before it transpired, it has
been a matter of interest to discover his

A piano on an entirely new principle
is announced from Germany. The
strings are stretched across the sound
ing board as in tho ordinary piano, but
the entire hammer mechanism is alb
sent. Instead, the depressing of the
key puts in action a magnet, which au-
tomatically attracts and releases the
wire, thus producing vibrations with
out the metallic stroke which accom-
panies the sound in the common type.
The resulting effect upon the tones is
said to be very remarkable. The high
notes resemble those of an Holan
harp. The middle and lower notes are
like cello or an organ. 1t responds
readily to every variation in power and
expression. A note can be sounded
for several minutes without varying in
quality. So radically different from
all existing instruments are the effects
that a new style of music is needed to
bring out its capabilities. Illustrated

Several months ago, Miss Cora Watrous
the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. l. C
Watrous "A locomotive fireman. of 81 Clarion

nervous disorder which threatened to enc
her life. The first symptom of the ailment
was loss OF appetite. For some little tim,
, Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and com
planned of n feeling of extreme assitude
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with a terrible headache and
nothing could be procured to give her re-
lief.
Finally after trying numerous remedies
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood but after
several weeks of his treatment the Young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided to procure the services oil
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased, the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery
1t was ut this time that Mr. Watrous heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He found that the pills were highly recon-
mended for nervous disorders and CON
cluded to give them trial. A box of the
pills was purchased and before they had all
been taken there was marked improve
ment in the girls condition. After n half
dozen boxes had been used, the Young
ladys appetite had returned, the pain in
her head had ceased and she was stronger
than at any time previous to her Illness
Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left home for a visit to rela-
tlves in the grape country near Dunkirk,
N. Y. She stopped taking the medicine and
by over-exertion brought the ailment back
again. AS soon as the returning ymptoms
were felt, Miss Watrous secured another box
Of pills and the illness was soon driven
away. She Is now in better physical con
dition than she has been for years and de.
clares that she owes her life to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills
Mr.. and Mrs. Watrous were interviewed
by a reporter at their home on Clarion
Street. Both are loud in their praises of
Pink Pills. My daughters life was saved
by the medicine, said Mrs. Watrous. Her
condition was almost hopeless when she
commenced taking them, but now she is as

various audiences to various officials
and others every day, and superin-

greatest care, says The Lady.
She herself is most accomplished,
speaks four languages, besides her

ately fond of music. In addition, she
is a fine rider, and has splendid seat

be found English, Spanish, Irish and
Arab horses, to all of which she is de-

voice, and eating sugar prettily from
