THE co1oRs OF ROYALTY.

The strong friendship existing between
the Emperor of Germany and the late
famous Berlin physician. DR.. Emile
Schmidt, gave him the authority to sit at
His Majesty's right hand and to wear
the purple and gold of Imperial favor.
Not only for his friendship to the
Emperor was DR.. Emile Schmidt noted
but for his wonderful victory over that
dread disease Consumption. His sue
cess was marvel to the medical world.
Prior to his death he gave to his friend a
formula for the preparation of the
remedy for the treatment of Coughs,
Colds, Incipient Consumption, Bronchitis
and all Throat and Lung diseases. In
consequence of this Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure can now be purchased from
the following druggists who guarantee 1t
to cure your cough or to refund your
money. 1t is wrapped in Purple and
Gold package. Samples free.-F. A.

tors of our important hotels, restau'
rants and cafes will not permit either
boards or glasses to be worn by their
walters. 1t is possible that In some
old fashioned family or commercial
hotel the servitors may be found with
their noses straddled by optical helps,
but you won't find 'em along Broad
way.
"Now, this is fact worthy of note
because in every other calling In life
the number of persons wearing glasses
IL on the increase. and even In our
schools a considerable percentage OF
very small children will be found
wearing glasses. and while. as | say,
hotel, restaurant and cafe proprietors
are opposed to the glasses. still have
seldom found a waiter whose eyes In
dicated that he was In the slightest
need Of them.
"You may argue that restaurant
walters are generally young men,
Grant you that instantly. but all the
same thousands of men Of similar age
have to wear them in almost every
other occupation.
1.-The majority Of those servitors
commence In boyhood. and the demand
of their vocation causes no strain Oh

account in a measure for the absence
of any necessity for the use of specs

IVGTs 4 Pond Pianos.
The Conservatory Expands.

The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
is the largest school of music in the
world, and its pre-eminence among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since it was founded in 1858 by DR..
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers Il Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S lvers *
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
cidental TO moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers Il Pond pianos, making
a total of 300.
Higher tribute TO this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.
