one last year suggested the pretty
white he uslcr, bow would it DO to
have duui lowcr, as We have a double
currcncy? The one syml Ollie Of gold
aud the other representing the silver.
We ought to have sentiment enough to
select National flower. There seems

q. a f. end who was to take him to the
t tent If he thought Nj. Holmes would
y peach o.n the third chapter Of Colos
. slams were he asked? ] think so, he
= replied, if we get there in time to make
, the request. When Che party reached
y the ground, which was u good drivt
from the house, the preacher had just
y begun his mornings discourse, anC
t stood, Bible in hand, preaching fron
e the third chapter of Colossians. The
t gentleman who was to make the re
quest, mentioned the matter to Mr.
s Holmes who replied that in his mcdi
u tat;ons that morning he had been i'm
pressed with the Importance Of preach
+ ing from that chapter.
While in Laurcns the other day
- met my young inventive friend, Luthc
a. McCo Il, who showed me uniqu
G and attractive colorcd keyboard, 70
J the organ and piano, which he style
''thc kindergarten" The keys OF cac
octave are, Of course, colorcd alike
'. The name and color Of keys arc as 70
lows: a. yellow; b, purrlc; G, red; l.
white; f, Blue; +, pink; G, green. a
middle &, which is the division OF til
so keyboard, he has arranged the N,
tiOnal ColorS-thc "rcd, white an
blue" A pat 'otic piano, isn't it?
The innovation Of the kindcrgartc
I'd piano and organ keys is sure to be Il jo
ie to teachers and beginners in the stud
~ of music. With IL piano or or%a
ld having these keys it is possible to lcar
~ the name and position Of each key in
- few minutes, whereas Gays and oftC
IN wrcHs arc required 90 mas ter the viii
no Key board thoroughly.
These colo"cd keys viii not tarnis
or be, ONE discolOrcu. as is the ca
with the white keyboard; nor shou
it be Imagined, from the namc kjndc
gurtcu, that the toiorcd keys are ben
i'm ticia alone to children or pupils. TT
IL co.orcd keys are just rs attractive Il,
H'- advantageous to those persons skiIl'
.T in pia 40 and utgan music, as it is (
,e. beginners.
nc The inventor has combined beau
OF with utility, for it is ao attractive a
:Hrs' tempting Keyboard, and will have Il
,ut incentive TO encourage practice. u
=. principle Uca is to aid the children al
ne students generally in the study OF mus
10 M'hn by freeing their minds Of mental stra
cd while learning the keys, thus givi
en- aid to the teacher and permitting rap
