is the celebrated Sohmer Piano, with the mechan-
ism of the Cecilian Piano Player built inside
the case.
This piano can be played with the fingers pre-
cisely the same as you would play any ordinary
piano-and in addition to this, you can play 1t
by means Of the Cecilian piano-player mechanism
which is built into it. All that is necessary Is to
slip in roll of perforated music and operate the
pedals with your feet.
We wish to make this fact plain, for many per-
sons have thought that this piano could not be played
in the usual manner. 1t can be played either
way and without making any changes OF any sort.
You can play the Sohmer- Ceciian Piano even
though you don't know one note from another.
You can play any music you wish.
The Sohmer- CeciEan is a piano which will be
appreciated and enjoyed continually by your entire
household, for every member of your family can
play it, play it with absolutely correct technic and
with intelligent expression.
The Sohmer-Cecilian occupies no more room
and is no different in appearance from any high class
upright piano.
The Cecilian Player in this piano has metal
action, something entire new in piano player con-
struction Steel and Phosphor-Bronze take the
place of wood wherever it is possible, thus doing
away completely with all troubles caused by damp
ness or sudden changes In temperature.
There are many other points in regard to the
wonderful tone-quality, the superior construction
and finish, the nseparable features and the easy
operation of the Sohmer-Cecian which will interest
you greatly. We will send you complete de-
scnpton with views of the piano. if you will send US
your address.
The price of the Sohmer-C ecilan Piano is $3.50.

ciative Though they knew little OF the
country, yet they 1onged to know more
and their imagination met me more than
half way.
Emily Dickinson we'll expressed the use
of imagination when she said:
To make prairie it takes one clover and one
bee
One clover and bee and reverie
The REVERE alone will do if bees are few.
In our case certainly bees were few.
We worked with the materials brought
from the market and we planted an egg
shell farm with the seeds of beets, carrots,
turnips, Cabbages and radishes. Much
we marveled that the cabbage and turnlP-
seeds were so nearly alike that we could
not separate them, and vet that the
tiniest seed, if it was turniP, would never
make the mistake of growing up into
cabbage, and vice versa And much we
wondered in looking at the vegetables,
that the carrot, the beet and the turn1p,
though they grew side by side with the
same earth, water and sunshine to help
them develop, yet one stored up golden
yellow and one b1OOd-red and one white
food in its roots to sustain it for the
second seasons growth.
After we had planted our seeds and
learned about the strange ways our
vegetables had of growing, | was obliged
to 90 away, and | never shall forget the
beautiful impromptu speeches which
were made in English eloquent though
badly fractured when the time of parting
came. After | left | received many
letters from these children, telling me of
the growth of our plants in the egg-shell
farm; great was their excitement over
the fact that the sprouts of the beet were
red; and much sympathy and concern
were expressed about the sad condition
of the onion, which languished and died,
despite the best of care; and various
and graphic were the drawings with
cOlorcd CravOns sent me to show the
progress or decadence of our crops.
The memory of that experience has been
delight and inspiration to me ever
since.
The chief difficulty with which the city
teacher of nature-study has to cope is not
lack of material to study, but lack of
experience with nature on the part OF the
pupils. Once | was asked to speak about
insects to a class of boys in the Tender
1oin" district of New-YO DIRK, and with
readiness born of inexperience | acquies-
ced 1 thought l would select some
familiar insect, so asked; "How many
ever saw a butterfly" Two hands went
up. How many ever saw beer" One
hand wavered doubtfully in the air. And
so on, until l felt myself being pushed to
the unwilling discussion of certain in
sects not usually mentioned in polite
society Suddenly l bethought me of
the house-hy, and straightway we en-
tered upon an illuminating lesson in
natural history which wound up with a
talk on hygiene and homily on clean1i
ness based upon the boys own obser-
vations of the thorough and industrious
way the fly washes itself and its evident
good health as result.
Though the city child's experience with
outdoor life is limited, yet his enthu
siasm for all that such life means counter
balances this disadvantage. One sum-
mer l was invited to talk about insects
| before the children of a vacation school
in a city of New-York State. To be
sure of having plenty of material so as
