The superiority of the STEINER TONE pianoforte over all other makes in tonal power, action and dur ability is a fact so well established that 1t hardly needs repeating.

They make hats in Connecticut to cover one end of man, and in Massa- chusetts they make boots and shoes to cover the other end. There's nothing like leather, is the old saying, and it still means much in Massachusetts. Of the nine leading industries of the State, boots and shoes show the greatest value of stock used, and by this is meant the cost value of all materials used in the manufacture of boots and shoes or consumed in the processes necessary to their production. This stock value in 1904 was $10S, ,916, ,1SS, as against S1OO- 7S7707 in 1908, the increase being s3,- 17S,481, or 3.16 per cent. The average number of persons employed in the boot and shoe industry was 105 less in 1904 than in 19OS but the wages paid these employees was $9S,o43 greater The total number of persons employed in 1904 was 77,284, of which 13,319 earned between $12 and $15 week Eleven thousand earned more than $15, but Jess than $20, and 4,622 earned $20 and over. The wages of the remainder ranged from $5 to $1O week. Only three of the nine leading industries show an increase in the value of goods made in 1904, as compared with 1903, and boots and shoes is one of these in- dustries. Paper is the only industry which exhibits increase in all of the elements considered, namely, value of product, number of persons employed, total amount paid in wages, the num- Der of days in operation and the pro- portion of business done; but boots and shoes show an increase in the product, in the wages. and in the number of days that the factories were run.
 A shoe man was governor of Massa- chusetts a little while ago, and he made good governor, too.

THE NEW CHTNESE ARMY.

A good many people have had the mo- tion that the Chinese are not good fighters. Maybe they are not. We don't know But they are getting ready to fight as if they meant business The London Times publishes a suggestive article on the new Chinese army by it's special correspondent who was lately with General Nogi. He describes the work of that army-which has been mostly created within the past four years, and owes it's organization to the genius of the Viceroy Yuan Shikai-as little short of a revelation. At the manoeuvres recently held at Ho-chien- fu, a city a. hundred miles up the river from Tientsin, thirty officers represent ing foreign armies attended on the in- vitation of the imperial authorities.
 The writer describes the Chinese trans port and commissariat arrangements as admirable, and the discipline of the infantry as all that could be desired.
 He says that "it is safe to assert that better fire discipline could scarcely be conceived. The manner in which the

4 JERSEY CITY ptscrSsIoN,

New Haven is not the only city that has discussions. Jersey City is in the midst of a discussion now, and it is a good one. The question is, Should women teachers in the public schools give way to men teachers? Those who say they should argue that women teachers make boys effeminate This is the argument of one of the arguers: Women teachers make boys effeminate. When they come out of the class room the first boy they meet on the street, 'soaks' them on the head and they are afraid to hit back. have watched public school children in the streets, and find that they are not hardy children such as we had when men taught us, The public school boy and the public school girl are on par as far as courage is concerned. They are always seeking to hit some one smaller than themselves. think that physical cowardice is brought about by being taught by women. In the near future our boys will jump on chairs when a mouse enters the room. Men should teach the children. One man is worth ten women.
 How's that for Jersey City argument? Of course the women teachers are hav- ing their strong and warm defenders, as they deserve to have, and they are in no immediate danger of being fired. Perhaps it will be discovered that if they are making boys effeminate they are doing a good and needed work. There must be something gentle in the world, we suppose, and the talk is that our girls are training as hard as they know how to be manly and tough

TEACHING sPARaow TO SING.
Raised With Canaries, Hee sool


 Raised With Canaries, Hee Soon
 Learned to Initiate them.
 A series of interesting experiments in which English sparrows have been taught to sing sweetly is recorded by pr Conradi. The aim of the experi- ment has been to determine what are the conditions under which birds learn and cling to their traditional notes. For this purpose he has taken very young birds of non-musical species and Kept them entirely with songsters, to determine whether they would thus acquire the musical notes.
 In July, 1893, he put four f1edgling
 English sparrows into the nest of a pair of singing canaries. Three of them died, but the fourth survived. This one had already acquired a spar row chirp, but hearing thenceforth only the notes of the canary, he went no further with the language which was his birthright. Instead, he came gradually, when among the canaries, to give notes different from sparrow talk. Even when he was silent, if the cana rles were singing he could be seen nov Ing his throat, as if he were trying to form the sounds, much as a person of- ten inaudibly follows a song which an- other is singing. At last these sounds began to be audible and increasingly so. He began to give notes in rapid succession, three or four tones five or six times.
 Growing bolder with practice and the sound of his own voice, he soon in- dulged three or four runs in succession, With eight to twelve notes in each, and in the last days of September, when three months old, he went up and down and up the scale, all in one run.
 All this while his voice had been changing, At first it was harsh, as is natural with English sparrows, but gradually, with the effort or with the suIo-conscious influence of the sweeter sounds about him, it became softer and acquired something of the canary quality.
 At first he sang on a low scale and tried the top notes vainly, but. as his

voice became milder he went higher more easily. He was three months old when, growing bold, he essayed his nrst trill. It was short but musical, and he evidently liked it, for he repeat ca It, and continued steadily to prac- tise 1t. It was done modestly, and af- ter each trilI he sat still and appeared to be listening. A year later, N.owev- CT, when the report was being written by the experimenter, he had grown to be quite an adept in canary song, and would trill and sing continually, pune

The Arizona Republican remarks that the cent has at last reached Arizona, and seems rather pleased, on the whole, that such a state of affairs exists. Phoenix, in particular, is fast beeom- ing a cent town. It has not been so many years since a cent was a real curiosity in that rapidly growing State, In many of the backwoods towns the small coin is still a rarity but in the growing cities, where, in the old days, 8 quarter was considered small change, and nickels were looked upon as curf- osities, and given to children as play things, the humble cent is becoming useful, and plays quite an important part in comercial activities The Re- publican thinks that the change was brought about by the winter tourist army that annually visits the South west. It is not that they are less lib- eral than other people, but they use cents at home all the time, and they have them in their pockets when they come to Phoenix.

The library board has made a request
to the municipal building commission
for the use Of ground floor room in
the courthouse. This room 1t is pro-
posed to have fitted up as q reading
the commission have been appointed as
a committee to take the matter under
consideration.
s. Miss Countryman, after a thoro in
vestigation, has concluded that a read
ing room in the courthouse has almost
become an absolute necessity. The read
ing room in the main library is over
crowded at all times, and even at hours
when there are supposed to be but few
visitors. l
The present north branch at Emerson
avenue and Twentieth avenue N, while
it is thronged at all times, does not
quite meet the demands for a reading
room Of the North Minneapolis down
town population. Plymouth and Wash
ington avenue N are the centers Of pop
ulation Of the district and it is. planned
to open a new branch near their inter-
section. &
The Sunday attendance at the
branches is upward from 1,500 Of late
and Of this the north branch has it's
share Of over 165 daily. At the main
library the attendance during the past
Sundays has been over 500. The old
city hall reading room has had an aver
age Sunday attendance of from 200 to
300,, and the South Side branch on
Franklin avenue and the East Side
branch have had an increased attend

PIPE LINES FOR BEER
ALLOWED BY TREASURY

Members Of the Minneapolis Brewing
the Wurtzberger Flows with great
feeling and accuracy, for they have just
obtained special ruling from the treas
uly department permitting them to
pump beer from the brewery to the
bottling,;house thru pipes instead of
hauling it across the street in casks.
The internal revenue laws provide
that bottling- houses must be separated
from the brewhouse by public thoro-
fare and all beer must be placed in
casks, properly sealed with the revenue
stamp, and hauled across the street
from the watts, to be bottled. AS soon as
its new 1926 900 bottling house is com.
pleted, which will be early in the sum

METH0DISTS TALK OF
ANOTHER NEW CHURCH

A new downtown Methodist church,
capable Of seating at least 1000 per
sons, is much needed, so asserted DR..
Fayette L. Thompson Of Hennepin
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church
yesterday morning, at the service mark,
ing the anniversary Of the dedication Of
the "tabernacle,' the temporary struc-
ture in which services were held while
the present church was being built.
DR.. Thompson called attention to the
fact that nearly all the -pews in the
church are at present filed with church
members, and declared that much more
room is needed for incoming members
and visitors who cannot now be accom-
modated. He thought the time ripe for
a new church, as all lines Of business
are now prosperous, With the erection
of a larger church, he suggested elabor-
alton of the church service, adding mu-
sical numbers as special attraction to
the public.
viewing the growth and prosperity of
the church, seconded the view of
DR.. Thompson relative to the need Of a
large new edifice.
