Montpelier Nov. 20.--This is the day to
which the people of Vermont as well as
the members of the Legislature have
long been looking-the day when a test
vote should be taken in one branch of
the Legislature or the other on the con-
ncting bills presented by the majority
and minority of the Joint temperance COM
mittee. The Senate was the first of the
two Houses to come to a decisive trial
of strength on the issue, and the result
was pronounced victory for the measure
reported by the majority over the Battell

THE LARGEST
 IN THE SOUTH

 This City.

 Tha thousands who deem 1t a priV- t1e4e to share in thed istributed Wealea vl this favored section may also tahe priue In the fact that within the connnes ot ....a tndustrial centre of the South are a few of the largest mercantile es.aDllsn-
 ,an+s in +he south The significance of tbis fact means that right here at bome one's buying can best be oone' anu with the same advantages that any ciey, of any size outside of the very largest metropolitan cities, can anoru'
 This observation about Blrthiis hapi growth in the mercantile line IS suggest cd from the writer's visit yesterday to an osta h1ishment the growth of which has heen tr,,lv phenomenal, and an establish ment which reflects credit to the town as well as to the owner, whose business saeacity has directed this business with such signal success.
 Preference is made in this particular instance to the establishment or I. V. Boardman & Co.,, whose annonhceniieh. in this issue tells in part the history anu deyelopment of the largest interior deco rative house in the South. It may be mentioned lust here. though the fact IS generally known, that this firm Is one or the largest importers of mattings and rugs, if not the largest, In the Whole South today These two articles form only an incidental part of the business of this establishment. and the fact is stated merely to show the position this house has taken as a business enterprise Everything that goes to furnish interior decorations for the home or for the office can be bought at this establish n, ont. and bought with all the advantages that can be offered at retail by direct huving from mills and by direct importa- tions. .,
 That Birmingham should possess the largest interior decorative house in the South is not accidental, and is not re- suit of chance MT. T. V. Boardman, the head of this establishment brought with
 him to this city many years experience | in handling interior decorations and
 matured judgment in directing large mer-
 cantile enterprises. His methods in con- l ductinE a business of this kind must
 be nearly ideal to the trade of this sec | ton. shown by the volume of buying | done at this store by the public.
 Monday is the fourth anniversary Of | this establishment. and the Anniversary | Sale" announced in this issue, tells of the
 addition of a new department; that of
 wall paper, which seems to make fully l complete this establishment as an inte-
 rior decorating house. It may make an | added personal interest to many to know | that MT w. M. Hagood, well known
 wall paper salesman. will be in charge | of the wall paper department of T. ". | Boardman & Co.
 The business announcement Of T. w. 1 Boardman 6, Co.,, for next weeks special | anniversary sale will prove interesting | reading to all home lovers.

A MiceIess Island.

There is a small island named Papa
 l.llt.e that lies in St. Magnus Bay, on the west side of Shetland. It gets its name in contradistinction to Papa Stour, or the Big Papa, another island in the same bay. Both names are of Morse origin, and signify Priest Islands, from the fact that they were colonized by the Irish Catholics, who first introduced Christianity. There was a solitary croft on this island at one time. but all that now remains is a ruined homestead, for the place is used purely for grazing pnr- poses. A striking feature of isle is the fact that no mice can live there. and on various occasions to test the truth of this mice have been caught and shipped on the isle. but so uncongenial did It's soil prove to their existence that in a short time they were dead There are instances of crofters on the main land. when troubled with mice, going the length of fetching earth from this isle

 piano." said a dealer, will sound better standing directly on the floor and in a room simply furnished than it will standing on e carpet in a room elabor- ately furnished, having hangings on the walls and so on.
 Sometimes a plano will develop. or seem to develop, a flaw in some one note which comes to have rattle, or jingle, or unpleasant burr to it. But this jarring sound, which seems to come from the piano, may in reality come from some source quite outside of it.
 Any given note, when struck produces certain number of vibrations to the second. There may be in the room some oDJect that is in tone sympathy with some particular note, and that will be set in motion by it when that note is sounded.
 The owner of a fine plano sent to us one day to say that there was some thing wrong about a certain note of the instrument, so that that note had an unpleasant sound when struck. When l
The age-herald., 1902-03-16

heard the note sounded I knew at once that the disagreeable roughness or buzz about it was due not to any defect in the piano, but to something somewhere about in the room. and, asking the lady to strike that note occasionally, I walked around the room to see If I could locate it.
 Passing across the middle of the room as that note was struck, the cause of the jarring accompaniment of it was discovered to come from the vibratit Of one of the glass globes on the chan delier overhead.
 The owner of the piano was almost incredulous as to this, the sounu nau seemed so plainly to come from the piano itself. But when, at my request, she stood under the chandelier and I struck the note, she was readily con- vinced.
 T made that globe imnovable and then struck the note on the piano. The answer was clear and sweet and true. So you see, the sound of a plano may for one, thing depend much upon it's sur roundings.
