TO prove what the buying

any must be. The small
manufacturer who turns out
only u few pianos each
month will certainly have
to pay more for the material
in each piano-there is alb
solutely no doubt about
this.
When you consider these
facts and put this truth
along side of them, that
there are only three compan-
lies ir ho aited States who
have made and sold as many
pianos as ourselves-that
we haven't competitor
making a high-grade piano

How far is guest of an individual priv

good taste for Frenchman or for any
one else to accept entertainment at a
private house and then go away to find
fault, satirize, even guy a little? This
is what M. Huret seems to have done.
The Astors, Fishes, Belmonts, Whit

up; he saw their drawing-rooms, heard
their talk, ate their dinners, and 1t is tho
unanimous opinion that he has not

Johnsons Of the human family. the
sparrows-the little victims OF the all
guns and the slingshots of the boys
are by far the most numerous. An.
other family that is not so common IL
the chimney swift. They find attrac-
tive nesting places in the unused Chin
news OF the city. The barn swallows
are another variety that is even less
numerous than their cousins, the
swifts. In the residence districts, es-
pecially, the purple martins are favor
ties. and are catered to with attrac-
tive bird houses, which are often pre-
empted by the omnipresent sparrow.
Rather an uncommon bird for ths
city, and yet one of which there are
considerable numbers, is the night
hawk. They build their nests on the
graveled roofs of the tall skyscrapers
and fiat buildings, and many janitor
refers to them as my friends"
Of all the birds Of the city none are
more popular with the passing thous-
ands than the pigeons Of the downtown
district. Their feeding place is the
street and the sidewalk, and for any
person to maliciously harm one OF
them would be almost cause for a
lynching bee.

suspecting public. The telephone has
been installed; some day it may be use
full and a competitor for the old estab-
lished Bell system; to-day, and for
several years to come, it would not pay
operating expenses, to say nothing OF
dividends on an investment of some
$30,O00,000 which the company has put
into the tunnels. The 40 miles OF tun-
nels, which were ostensibly built to
serve merely as conduits for telephone
wires, but telephone aconduits are not
necessarily Is feet high by II feet wide,
which represents the dimensions OF the
largest tunnels, nor even seven feet
wide by nine feet high, which is about
the dimensions of the smallest of the
tunnels. Neither is an electric railway
track in all of these tunnels, or hun
dreds of electric cars needed in the
operation of a telephone system. The
telephone wires are there; they occupy
a few inches Of space in the apex OF
the tunnels; the remainder Of the ex-
tensive system will be utilized for the
purpose of freight delivery to and from
the depots.
The company has purchased large
tract Of land at point where it is
possible for every railroad line in the
city to reach it. All merchandise
freight going to or from the wholesale
or retail district will be received at or
shipped from this point. To this point
the tunnel cars will run, making ele-
vator connection through the basement
with each of the large stores. Goods
going in or out of the city will pass to
and fro 40 feet below the surface of
the streets, instead of on the streets as
they do now. Such a freight transfer
is unknown in any other city in the
world.

more startlingly in many years than the

stout men SO as to carry water from one

primitive methods were really the most
economical, seven or eight cents day

to the present book of ten pounds in
weight, and carrying 657 900 names, in
dicating, so the experts say, q papu-
lation of about 2,250,O00 people.
Owing to new rule Of the publish-
ers, made this year, to leave out the
names of call unmarried ladies not en-
gagged in business" the book is not so
noticeably larger than the one Of last
year as has been the case in previous
years, there being but 5000 more
names this year than. last.
A study of the book shows the most
common name in Chicago to be john
son. There are 50 closely set columns
Of him. Smith is the next most popu.
lar name, with ten columns less than
the Johnsons. The Andersons rank
third with 40 columns; Browns are
fourth with Is columns, and good, old,
familiary Jones comes along in nth
place with but IS columns.

may be found Bling, Ding, Bang, Zipp.

Geiser and Kidder in the slang class;
Bugg, Monk and Duck for natural his

qualities. No person goes to work be-

many business men, like the fountains

HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
And He Recalled Something Which

Down a Bit.

A story is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving a severe reprimand from a
witness whom he was trying to brow
beat. 1t was an important issue, and
In order to save his cause from defeat
it was necessary that the lawyer
should impeach the witness. He en-
deavored to do it on the ground of age,
in the following manner:
"How old are yuu?" asked the law
yer.
..seventy-two years. replied the
witness.
"Your memory. of course, is not 80

witness, "if / am to be INTERCEPTED in

"You had better answer the ques-

Eyes, sir; state it," said the lawyer.
"Well, sir, if you compel me to do
it, l will. About IL years ago you
studied in Judge rs Office, did you

what circumstances they do SO, no one
class is promo to suspect. OF course one
half doesn't know how the other nall
lives, and it is good thing lor eacn
half that it remains in this condltion "
ignorance. n the half that goes to tne
roof gardens knew the squalid misery
of those who sleep on the roofs It might
faint their appetites. And II the rool
dwellers of the East side land other
sides) knew about the cushioned IN
dulgences of the roof garden thousands,
the knowledge might make their thirst
a little harEher and their tin beds 9
trifle harder. The contrast is 1ndeeo
violent enough. Under the stars In one
quarter are the lucky, who can loll
in comfortable seats, listening to gay
music, watching the best that modern
vaudeville can do to amuse. drinking
iced drinks from tall glasses. These Ia
yored are carried to and from the street
levels in easy elevators. AID to and from
their homes in devil wagons. Under the
stars In another place, heat-bedraggled
tenement crowds are climbing to the
roofs, roofs still radiating the heat OF
the blistering sun, with cheap pillows
and maybe an occasional tattered
blanket, to stretch themselves on the
tin or the Slated, clothes-drying In
closure. At midnight both phases OF
life are to be found at the same time.
At one in the morning the arching
lights Of the roof gardens have disap-
peared. Who shall say that after that
the roof sleepers always have the worst
of It? There are hot rooms in the best
houses and best hotels in New York.
Who shall say that the occupants OF
certain high-priced rooms on certain
nights in this season would not choose,
II the choice we're open to them, to sleep
On the roof? It is to be remembered
that occasionally someone rolls on q
roof. It would make great sensation,
would 1t not, II someone on Fifth avenue
were to turn over in the night and drop
into the street?
