THE ANGELUs~ PIANO PLAYER

THE ANGELUS'~ PIANO PLAYER
Is unquestionably the most desirable
attachment that Is manufactured. At
first the statement that with the aid
of the Angelus any one could play up
on the, piano any composition whatso-
ever seemed too good to be true.
For the past five years they have
been improved and perfected to meet
the cultivated demands of the public,
and, as they are now produced are the
result Of years Of study and expert
ence.
The United States Government en-
dorses the Angelus as the Pioneer
Piano Player Attachment as follows:
I'm February, 1897, was built the first
Angelus, a cabinet plano player. This
instrument, the invention Of e. H.
White, may be regarded as the Pioneer
of the various similar attachments
which have since been placed upon the
market"
The expression devices are so clever
and so complete that 1t Is possible-to
ritard, to accelerate--to accent a note
or notes-to subdue the accompaniment
and play loudly the theme-in short,
with the assistance Of the Angelus it is
possible to play the piano in truly ar
tistic manner and to produce music
which has all the beauty of the old
method playing with the fingers.
We are the sole agents for the An
gelus. the best self-playing piano at
tachment manufactured, and we would
be pleased to exhibit it to any one call
ing at our warerComs.

CORRECT METHODS OF BREWING
TEA

A fine. quality of black tea is consid-
cred best for general use. In curing
green tea the leaves are steamed as
soon as gathered; in the case of black
tea, the leaves are allowed to ferment
before drying. The result is that the
finished black tea contains far less tam
min than the green. The original tea
leaf possesses an oxidizing principle
which is destroyed in the steaming pro-
cess, but which oxidizes the tannin
during the curing of black tea and
gives it its color.
But, whether Hyson or Souchong, or
ange pekoe or English breakfast, do not
use cheap tea, or dusty tea, or tea
whose bouquet you cannot enjoy: do
not allow it to steep till instead Of the
essence and fragrance the deadly bit
terness and blackness are yours for in
Digestion" and, above ALL never con-
duct your gentle ministrations with a
metal teapot as an ally, solid silver ex-
cepted. Any other metal kettle is per-
missible for heating the water alone:
the chemical action after the tea is adj
ded Is what makes mischief-and poi
son, says Anne Warner in Good House
keeping.
A silver tea ball has its advantages
for preparing a single cup, but for
more than that the better way Is to
measure your favorite mixture or brand
of tea into small cheesecloth bags and
keep these ready for use in AN alright
caddy. Find out the number of sup
fuls your teapot holds and allow the
regulation even teaspoonful of tea to
each cup. For convenience make the
bags in two sizes, both being large
enough to give the required amount Of
leaves room to swell.
Drop bag into hot china teapot or
a highly polished silver one; add the
proper quantity of freshly boiling wa
ter, else, even with the best quality of
tea, you will never succeed in having it
in its perfection; cover the nose of the
pot, if you do not use a. cosey, and al
low the tea to infuse not more than five
or eight minutes over a very low alco-
hol flame; then with a fork remove the
bag of leaves and its capacity for harm.

AN ARTIST IN BUSINESS.
The Funny Story of cynicus

The Funny Story of Cynicus..
About eleven years back an artist
who had been plodding for many years
on the staff of a Scottish newspaper
rented an old shop in Drury Lane and
placed in the window series of tinted
sketches Satirical and humorous. These
sketches were somewhat rough and
crude, yet they We're quantity effective,
and, coupled with the daring of their
author in displaying his ware in such
a place, soon made ''Cynicus" nota-
BILE person. Crowds gathered in front
of the window, laughed at the conceits,
and tried to get a glimpse Of the pic
turesque artist working on the other
side of the curtain. Al journalist
passing saw interested copy" in the
event, went in and interviewed
"Cynicus," who next day found him.
self famous. Unfortunately editors Of
fered him commissions, and hasty crit
les, ever on the hunt for something
new, hailed him as genius-a new
Rowlandson. All sorts and conditions
of folks sought his acquaintance, and
he instituted a. weekly "at home,''
where poets recited their illusions, act
ors acclaimed in tragic tones, and bud
! ding artists showed their drawings, for
"Cynicus" was ever ready to help his
fellow craftsmen. There also one saw
novelists, politicians of all shades, mu-
! sicians and cranks, motley crowd,
sometimes interesting, other times the
reverse.
| Critics and editors, however found
out the mistake they had made, but
the public remained true to the artist.
, Consequently "Cynicus'' decided to ap-
T. pear entirely to his clientele direct
from his workshop in Tayport, Fife,
| where he had several children coloring
his drawings from the specimens he
supplied. 1t is gratifying to know that
his resolution has brought him success.
His work has always sold we'll in Lon
don, but in the provinces and colonies
it's popularity has become enormous.
Some years back he issued a series of
comic and satirical Christmas and post
cards, which has met with extraordi-
nary approval. He has sixty people,
I mostly young, working for him at pres
ent, and though they are toiling day
and night, they find it difficult to keep
ing in from all parts of the world.
"Cynicus" is now building for himself
wonderful castle in accordance with
his own ideas of what an artists home
should be, Its neat square towers give
It an Old World, romantic appearance,
and it's site on a hillside three hum
bred feet above sea level emphasizes
It's feudal aspects. The tower is fifty
feet high and commands a splendid
view OF the Howe of Fife, st. Andrews
and northward to the Tay. Altogether
it is an ideal residence, and his Lon
don friends congratulate him on the
complete success Of struggle against
great difficulties. Personally, Mr.. An
derson is agenial. good hearted bo-
hemian, and one would like to see him
sitting in all his unkempt picturesque
ness among the spick and span
worthless who sit at the Tayport Town
Council, of which body he is a member.

HOTEL JEFFERSON.

The Hotel Jefferson under the eff

Johnson, is becoming a very popular
house. The rooms have all been reno
waited and the hotel presents hand
some and attractive appearance. The
situation is quite central, the hotel be-
ing located at 44O state street, six
blocks from the station. Mr. Johnson
is an old hotel man and was proprietor
of the Getty house at Yonkers, New
York, for seven years, during which
period that famous house retained its
!well-known popularity. Mr.. Johnson
will use the same methods in his man
agement of the jefferson. There is no
bar attachment. The aim of the man

comfortable resort where everything

HrRsFs ATTRACTIVE BARGAINS.

To-Day's Unexampled Opportunities at
the Big Store.
To-day is the big bargain day for
mems wearing apparel at the big Hirsh
store. For week the sale of mems
suits and overcoats has been stipend
Gus, and to-day the big store is break
ing the record on the home stretch.
The Hirsh store doesn't make vacuous
Wholesale promises. 1t does things. It
fulfills ali engagements to the letter.
This is the age OF the strenuous, and it
is typified by the method of doing bus
mess at Hirsh's.
They are selling trousers at the
astounding low price of $3.50. and over
coats are going at just $10-these being
bargains recognized at once on sight.
Of these garments many are made by
Alfred, Benjamin & Co., of New York,
and the very highest attainment in
mems garments is reached. Their work
is unsurpassed. There is every style,
every colorng and all sizes. Your
choice is unrestricted To-day is the
pportunity-to-day the climax.
No description of these extraordinary
bargains will suffice or do justice to
their merits. They must be seen to be
appreciated. The display in this extra
ordinary Offering comprises everything
in the great lines of Benjamin & Co.
The overcoats, bear in mind, also are
Of all sizes as well as colors. The sale
Of $1.90 trousers is immense. No Won
der they are being appreciated.
And the trolley railroad men-there is
a word for them before closing this ar
ticle. Trolleymen will find great
chances to buy pilot cloth overcoats
and ulsters at this great Htrsh sale.
Don't miss this opportunity. The prices
are surprisingly low. The Hirsh sales
are just as advertised, as the public
knows, having found all promises
backed UP by the most complete fulfill
ment. All the Hirsh sales are revela-
tons of genuine bargains.

PREACHER OUTWITTED
In Another Preachers Family.

"It is easy to sing the praises of Pos

of the First Congregational Church of

shocking bad hat. The rims were wider,
and not SO stiff as in our headgear, and
the superjacent cylinder was immense
ly tall, retreating to a blunt, conieal
top. There was round it a silken band
of five to two inches in breadth, fast
ened by a golden brooch. Bad as this
hat Was-for 1t invited being blown off
by every breeze-still it was of felt, not
OF the shiny silken stuff on our hats.
Rain did this hat no harm. Fancy
might be shown in the silken band.
The hat worn by Charles I at his trial
was bigger, taller. black, broader in the
brim than Morton's; there was no fan
cy about it; it was heavy, unbecoming,
and wooed every zephyr. On a windy
day Charles must have found it as
hard to keep his hat on his head as his
head on his shoulders. Still, it was OF
black felt. and not apt to be ruined by
rain.
From such hats descend those in
which, through much of the nineteenth
century men played cricket and golf
and went out shooting and fishing. A
bulgy top-heaviness characterized such
hats, especially in France. The halter
had his way; he imposed on mankind
his delirious dream, and had Tennyson
not possessed the courage to revert to
the Charles type, his contemporaries
might have lacked poet as much as
we do, or, at least, like us. had q crowd
of poets who can only be venturously
tried as change bowlers, so to speak.
Twas his hat that made the life of Mr..
Carlyle so soulbre; he, too, fell back on
a thing in soft felt. The broad Cava-
lier hats of the civil war are only COM
patible with love locks and high boots;
they were becoming, and they gave
shade. but on a wet, windy day thoey
must have been intolerab1e. The little
three-cornered hat of the eighteenth
century was becoming, but the rims
held about a gallon of water when it
rained, as do those of the soft modern
Tyrolese or brigand hat. The socialist
or Bible reader fiat soft black hat is
really more comfortable than most, but
every one does not wish to advertise his
political opinions. The cooked hat was
only saved from ridicule by Nelson,
Wellington and Napoleon, and is aban-
doned to superior officers. The bishops
hat was invented in lucid interval Of
the hating frenzy, but we cannot all be
bishops. The common bowler" or
billy cock" (bullycock?) hat is hard,
heavy, vulgar and uncomfortable. The
cloth cap is not a hat, and comfort is
its only merit. Thus it is plain that
hats, through their modern history, do
raise serious presumption against the
sanity of their inventors. Will no hat
ter arise, and, in a flash of genius, in
vent a. comfortable, cheap. enduring
and becoming hat? 1t must not convey
the idea that its wearers are Beers, or
Imperial Yeomanry, or Blue Bonnets
over the Border, or Tam O Shanters or
anarchists, or bishops, or generals in
the army. AS to women's hats, women

GERMANY LEADS OFF
PREPARING TO RESIST AMERi-
CAN TRADE DISCRIMINATION.
Granted Special Trade Privileges
to Competing Nations Germany
Will be Ready to Enforce Measures
of Retaliation.

Direct and unmistakable confirma-
ton of the prediction of trouble with
European countries as the outcome of
the contamination of the proposed
preferential trade arrangement be-
tween the United States and Cuba is
at hand in the shape of a Berlin
cablegram to the New York Herald
dated March IA, 1903. The danger,
indeed, the certainty of arousing
jealousy, resentment and retaliatory
action as a consequence of entering
upon the policy of reciprocity in COM
petitive products has been pointed
out by Andrew Carnegie in his terse
statement that for every friend made
by such policy we shall make sew
eral enemies. The American Econo-
mist has persistently urged SINH
lar view as to the disadvantages of
such reciprocity wholly outside of the
question of its sacrifice of the princi-
pie of fair and equal protection to
American labor and industry. This
paper has expressly indicated Ger
many as one of the countries certain
to take umbrage at the monopoliza-
ton alike of the Cuban market for
American products and of the Ameri-
can market for Cuban sugar. 1t is
well known that among high officials
committed to the Cuban treaty. this
aspect of the case has been regarded
with some misgivings, but that it had
been decided to jam the treaty
through and let ultimate develop
ments take care of themselves. How
well founded these apprehensions
have been may be discovered from
the Berlin cablegram.
Berlin, March IA, 1903 Germany,
as soon as the reciprocity treaty be-
tween Cuba and the United States is
ratified, will ask both the Cuban and
United States governments for iden-
tical privileges. 1t is perceived that
German traders will be placed at
disadvantage and the specialists in the
foreign Office who manage Germany's
cases in the negotiations for
new commercial treaties, have
talked over the Cuban treaty with
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-04-25

representatives of the embassies of
the Continental powers, with the re-
suit that limitations have been made
that other governments intend also
to request the same treatment.
while annoyed at the prospect of
the United States trade having a
lower tariff in Cuba than that of Ger
many, no one supposes that even a
collective protest on the part of the
Continental countries would cause
either the United States or Cuba to
recede. Germany's position, however,
is to be defined clearly, so that the
2. United States may not complain when
Germany gives other nations preferen-
tial treatment.
'.The principle which the German
Foreign Office lays down in entering
upon the new commercial treaties cor
respondence is give and take The
most favored nation theory is really
abandoned Special conventions are
to be drawn up to fit different situa-
TONS This principle seems to be ac-
cepted by Russia, Austria and. Italy,
and the trade policies are to rest upon
the reciprocity idea

Germ here is that, should the Cuban

sulting in the United States obtaining

a matter of course that she will read

cooperation in measures calculated
to resist the trade monopolizing pro-

find on our part, and very likely to
our discomfort, that preferential tariff

two can play at, and that unless we
are prepared to extend to practically
the whole earth favors and preferences
which we are proposing to extend to
Cuba alone, we are kindling a blaze
that in time may make things very

says the New Bedford Mercury No
men have hourly for a lifetime taken

men, and their voyages have been fire.
quently crowded with moving acct
dents, hairbreadth escapes and dis
tressful strokes. And we go to these
men, like Desdemona, with a greedy
ear to devour up their discourse" The
records of the thrilling voyages of our
whalemen are kept in log books and
in the hundreds of volumes stored in
old sail lofts. How many of us have
pored over them to have our nerves
played upon after the manner of the
fictionists, but it is not there. And
we seek out the man whose ship is
struck and sunk by a whale in mid
ocean, and who takes to the boats
and reaches land after weeks of buff
feting, and the men whose ships are
crushed in the ice, and their story is
as prosaic as the story of the man
who goes to the days work in the
electric car. We are thrilled by the
boat journey of DR.. Kane, of a tramp
in the Arctic ice by Nansen. Last
week a man arrived here who had
