IVers \ 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 1t was founded in 1858 by DIR.
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers 4 Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S Ivers Il
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 & 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.

newspaper of New England, in its issue

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Take as much exercise as possible; a
daily walk is a great tonic.
Finger nails can be strengthened by
rubbing vaseline into them every night
and manicuring once week.
Don't have a shiny nose and fore
head. Use a little cologne or spirits of
camphor in the water when bathing
the face.
Don't forget to rinse the face With
clear water after using soap, because
you don't want any left on the face to

Excrcise For Children.

Walking is not an exercise to which
young children take kindly at any
time. 1t is extremely wearisome to
them. 1t is the poorest form OF eXer.
clse they can take, involving the great
est amount of fatigue with the least
amount Of active movement. The ef-
Tort OF keeping the spine erect and bal
ahclnG the body is very fatiguing to
the young. and this may easily be dem
onstrated by taking young child for
long walk and noting how very
quickly it becomes tired and begins to
drag its steps languidly along. The
oest form of exercise for children is
one permitting of the greatest amount
OF movement and the most exercise for
the least fatigue. Games such as chill
oren love, with hoop or ball, are much
better for them than long, dreary sci
walks, allowing as they do constant
cnange Of muscular movements, giving
each muscle it's due need of exercise
without overstraining one particular
SET of muscles. In this way all the
muscles of the body may be pleasantly
exercised without any being oyerfa
tgued.

God is a vague idea until we look at
God and think of him through the life

Truth Stronger Than Error.
Today there is a splendid and grow

The Christian Message.
If the Christian church is to keep

sleep and Beauty.

To get eight hours good sleep should
be the aim OF every woman who wants
to keep Ter beauty Ii the woman be
inclined to adpose tissue she should
limit her sleeping hours to seven, for
it is rest and sleep which make her
fat. If. on the other hand. she be very
nervous she can increase the number
of hours to ninc for there is some
thing about the beauty sleep which
not only kNitS up the raveled sleeve OF
care, but also mpnuS the nerves and
restores the nerve fluid. To go to bed
hungry is never Il good thing for beau
tvs sake. The body feels uneasy dur
ing the night and the face shows this
uneasiness. One wakens with furrow
in ones forehead, and often the vic
tim of an empty stomach will wake up
lying fiat upon the face and tossing
restlessly. Again the one who wants
to sleep soundly must not sleep with
out a pillow. for nothing so drives the
blood to the brain. In cases of great
nervousness the pillow should be eX
tremely high. and those who work Will
the brain should also cultivate the hab
it of sleeping with the head very wei
elevated.-Brooklyn Eagle.

tional and temporary efforts made by

Christs Definition of Neighbor.
Christs meaning of ''neighbor" was
any man who needs our help. He may
not be Of our social set, among our
friends or relatives or even of our ac-
quaintance. but if a man is in trouble,
in distress or is helpless he. then be-
comes our neighbor. Love thy neigh
Dor as thyself is doctrine that every
one is obliged to believe. The spirit Of
love should overstep all conventOnali-
ties 1t alone can make our lives sub
lime. Work without ostentation; serve
with simplicity. Duty turns to privi-
lcgc when prompted by love-Rev. Mil
ton f. Negus. Baptist. Philadelphia.
Waiting on God.
Absalom failed because he did not
learn the master secret Of life-to wait
on God, to wait until God approves our
plan of life, to wait until he leads in its
execution. Saul failed because of his
self will and Impotence. David won
the crown of divine and human glory
because he cnthroned God in all things.
The heart Of youth throbs high with
dreams and aspirations. These are God
given and light the way Of life. ODE
dicncp to the divine counsel will lead
to abiding dominion Rebellion against
it will bring ruin and judgment. Life
truly centered Will in due time find all.
Roy. DR.. y. Luccock, Methodist, st.

The Last Straw.
The Old proverb that it is the last
straw that breaks the eamePs back was
never truer than today, never found
more frequent application than now.
1t is not the burden of duty that breaks
down so many men and women before
their time, but the something extra.
the added weight tagged on to the bur-
den. l: is not the allotted bundle OF
duty which God lays on the shoulders
of every man that kills, but it is the
plusses which our own foolish ambi-
ton or senseless worry or the selfish
ness of other people create which wear
out so many travellers in the great car
avan of human history. The lone des-
ert life is strewn with the bones Of
many who would have borne gravely,
to the end their allotted burden, but
who failed by the way because some
thing extra was added, and the poor
soul staggered. to It's fall before. the
journey was half accomplished.-Rev,

formed, New York. - * A~.t

In talking with some Of the cFaft
around the courthouse last week. Hon
H. K. Toney told Of an experience
which happened to him while cam.
paigning through the county thai has
perhaps befallen no one else in some
time. According 60 Mr.. ToneE during
his last campaign he was riding
through a lonely stretch one afternoon
when he came upon a rattIesDaAa near
y frozen and perfectly stiff with coifl.
He felt a pity for the snake ana TAX
ing it up placed it in his saddjebags.
When he got TO the house where he
was to stop for the night he took the
snake out and placed it by the fire
20 keep it warm. The reptile seemed
to appreciate the kindness done fer it,
and curled up contentedly before the
blaze. During the night Mr.. TcMey was
awakened by the hiss and rattle Of the
snake. He discovered that a burglar
had attempted to enter his room and
that the snake, acting the dual role
of watchdog and alarm clock, had given
the alarm by means of his rattle The
burglar was heightened away 1t is
needless to state that Mr.. Toney does
not carry snake juice" with him while
campaigning The snake crawled away
the next morning, but it is supposed
that it is waiting for Mr. Toney's next
visit to that neighDorhaod.
