II is a Fact!

That a successful business
can only be attained through
honest dealing, prompt service
and indefatigable attention to
detail.
That no permanent success was ever
attained through trickery and subter-
fuge.
That quality wins first, last and al
ways, and that manufacturers produce
different classes of Pianos.
That there are some Pianos much bet
ter than others.
That it is our policy never to misrep-
resent anything, nor allow our statesmen
to do 50.
That we know that this is a good pol
icy, because through strict attention to
these methods, our business continues
to grow rapidly.
That it means good deal to you to
know in advance that the reputation OF
our line of pianos have been established
from 65 to 80 years. esE-
That there is one in Columbia used at
least 40y years, and the tone quality shows
no evidence Of going out Of business.

A vegetarian had an amusing ex-

breakfast. His family was out of
town, and he went to a restaurant and

that the human diet should be strictly

Mistakes in Encyclopedias.

A man who has done a great deal
of work in correcting some large die
tionaries, encyclopedias, and historical
reference works, who has studied ten
languages, and who is well posted on
number Of foreign wands, examined
over fifteen thousand pages Of an en-
cyclopedia recently published in this
country. Much Of the work he did
without the publishers knowledge.
Though this encyclopedia was consid-
cred to have been edited very care
fully, he discovered over one thousand
mistakes in the first volume alone. In
the following volumes he found many
thousands.
In speaking Of one of the most IA
nous violin virtuOsos who ever lived,
it was stated that in his youth he fell
out with his parents and ran away to
Cassel, Germany, twelve years after
he died. In giving a sketch Of a liv-
ing European author, the statement
was made that he wrote and pub
lished his first book nine years before
he was born. In calling an editors
attention to this error, the editor re-
piled: "Verily, a bright kid this!

MlGHTIEST OF WAR CRAFT.

Battle-Ships Michigan and South Caro-
lima to Have Big Gun Batteries.
The naval bureau of construction is
perfecting plans for the battleships
Michigan and South Carolina which
will make them the most powerful
warships in the world. Many impor-
tant innovations will be introduced,
the most striking of which is COM
plete battery of twelve-inch and ten
inch guns. Such an arrangement Of
heavy guns has never been tried in
any vessel. There is no warship afOat
that carries more than four guns Of
the caliber named.
In tonnage the ships will about
equal the splendid new British vessels
Of the King Edward VII. and Africa
class. Those vessels displace between
10000 and 1900 tons and are about
425 feet long. They carry four r.
inch guns, four 90 inches, ten 6-inch
and twenty-eight smaller guns. AS
the South Carolina and the Michigan.
If the Pinch and the 10-inch plan is
adhered to, will carry at least eight
Of the latter guns, the new warships
would be a great deal more powerful
than the King Edward VII. and AZ
RIGA type.
The adding Of third screw to the
new battleships, which will call for
the addition of another engine, is re-
ported to have been definitely de-
cided upon by the bureau Of construc-
ton. This system, which was intro
duced into the navy by Rear Admiral
Melville, although looked on with great
disfavor by foreign naval construct
ors, has proved great success on the
Columbia and Minneapolis. One Of
it's advantages is that in cruising great
economy is attained, in that when only
moderate speed is required the GEN.
trail engine alone is used. If high
rate of speed is desired the two wing
engines, and, If necessary, all three,
can be operated.

young Griffin as saying, "can do more
work in one day than wild African
can do in a week. The wild African
looks ignorant, brutal and repulsive,
and in truth they are brutes. They

too good to be Of any use to them.

TYPHOID FEVER.
How the Dangerous Ma1ady Is Passed
Along.

ALONG
The time-honored theory that 1ow-
ing water purifies itself has been very
forcibly disposed of by Samuel Hop
kins Adams in McClure's. This COM
Portable old belief that the water you
drink Is safe just because the nearest
source Of pollution may be seven, or
nine, or some satisfying number OF
miles upstream may be charged with
a huge proportion of the typhoid in
lection from which most American
communities suffer- A forcible exam
pie Of how infection is passed along
is given in the story Mr.. Adams tells
Of the Merrimac Valley in New Eng
land: Lawrence, Mass, for many
years enjoyed the benefit Of all the
scourings of Concord, Manchester,
Nashua, Fitchburg, Lowell and other
settlements aggregating upward Of a
quarter of million people. It was
all right, said the experts, water puri-
fes itself; and by the time Merrimao
River had travelled from the Lowell
sewers to the Lawrence intake "a dis
lance Of nine miles, all the bacilli had
dropped out, or died, or settled on the
shores anyway, they had ceased to
become a danger, said the learned.
Some pernicious person with a low
minded disregard for theories, I'M
earthed an uncomfortable parallel be-
tween typhoid in Lowell and typhoid
in Lawrence. 1t appeared, as if in
despite Of the theorists, that whenever
the upstream city developed a great
deal Of typhoid Contributed, probably,
by cities still further above) the low
er town slavishly followed with a cor
responding increase. In 1890, when
LoWells death rate was ITO per 10000,
LaWrence's swelled to 1874. The next
year the upstream city dropped to
about 100, and the down current set
Element went to 119; while in 1892 an
other slight reduction above resulted
in drop to 106 below. By this time
Lawrence had got tired Of Lowell's
typhoid, even though the supply was
diminishing. 1t put in filtra ton plant
in 1893. In the first year the rate
dropped to 4S, and has been going
down ever since. Lawrence's expert
ence seems to have converted Lowell,
for in 1896 the feed gate from the
Merrimac River was closed, we trust
forever the Health Department feel
ingly writes, and driven-well supply
substituted for the Concord Manches-
ter-Nashua sewer extract. Perhaps it
costs little II ore, but the IS per cent
reduction in typhoid much more than
makes up the expense"

Problems in Government.
The new British commonwealth on
the other side of the globe is having
q run of hard luck, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The weather was
against it for several seasons in sue
cession. Now it is complaining that
white immigration has fallen off and
that the end of the Russian war will
bring a strong pressure of Japanese
and Chinese for entrance into the COM
monwealth. This Japanese menace is
far more portentous to the average res
ident of New South Wales, Victoria,
Queensland and the rest of the states
Of the Australian commonwealth than
the Chinese peril seemed to Dennis
Kearney in the days of the sand lots
crusade.
Moreover, the situation, as viewed
by many Of its newspapers, is likely to
get worse before it gets better. "Wsre

ExnIOrer Held for Ransom.

The African explorer, the Marquis
de Segonzac, who was sent by the Mo-
rocan committee in Paris, partly for
political reasons, to explore the region
south Of the Moroccan Atlas, and who
was captured and held for ransom,
was accompanied by two Algerian lin
gusts. Several of the party took d
different route. 1t is believed that the
capture was made solely for ransom.
Judging by the last letters received
from the Marquis, he was able to get
much new and valuable information
regarding the region he uaversed.

Russian Admiralty Joke.

Admiral Falkersahm, a Russian
commander who lost his life in the re-
cent sea fight with Japan, was of
great physical proportions and one of
the jolliest men personally. Some
years ago he was put in command of
a torpedo boat, but found that he
could not get into it's cabin, the aper-
ture leading thereto being too small
to permit the passage Of his huge bulk.
He communicated with the admiralty
authorities regarding the matter. but
for time they regarded his appeal as
joke and Fakersahm had to pass
his nights on deck until he was trans
ferred to a more suitable vessel.

Anyone who follows the course of
current fiction at all closely must have
noticed marked increase of late in
what may be called the news element.
Whenever new region of the earth is
explored and a distinct manner of liv-
Ing disclosed straightway someone
writes a novel on ii. Thus we have
had many stories founded on life in
the Klondike since the discovery of
gold has drawn the attention of the
world to that quarter A new indus
try, fresh discovery in science, fresh
commercial conditions, all these are
seized by eager, waiting writer's and
made the subjects Of stories. In the

It would be hard to find better IL
lustration Of national habit Of cour-
tesy than was afforded by one Of the

fused, and was sunk at 6 p. m. Her

morrow, the commonwealth would be
without guns or cartridges for it's
troops, without ships or the means Of
making them, without fabrics for cloth
ing, without machinery for mine or
railway, without even paper on which
to print it's journals. Australia would
have to beseech the grace Of some mas
ter, crawl to the hand Of whatever
power was for the time being most
strong on the seas or lapse into saw
agery." This Is a darker picture than
even the most patriotic Of Irish news
papers painted Of their country after
the collapse Of the rebellion Of 1S4S or
during the time when the Land League
leaders were being hunted down by
the British government.
The half dozen States composing the
present commonwealth Of Australia
mad 3,174,263 inhabitants in 1891. They
had 3,771,715 in 1901. Such a small
ratio Of increase in new country,
which Is making active bids for i'm
migra ton, is rather disheartening. The
growth in the last four years is be-
lieved to have been even slower than II
was previously. Here is one Of the
causes for the plants by the news
papers. Probably the socialistic ex-
periments Of its people arc partly re-
sponsible for the torpor in Australia.
Anyhow, the hopes of advancement

Krupp's foundries at Essen are
working day and night turning out
field artillery. AS neither Russia nor
Japan is likely to be placing fresh or
ders and as France and England get
their guns elsewhere, the inference is
plain that Germany is the customer
for the Krupp guns. There is thus
some reason to believe that the Kaiser
meant business or was preparing for
1t when he shook the mailed fist at
the French republic over the Moroc-
can affair. Evidently the beating Of
swords into ploughshares is not going
to take place for some time to come.
