varied stock of pianos in the world.
Over 1000 instruments are displayed
side by side under Gheir roof. All of
these pianos are sold at low, fixed
prices, which are the same to everyone.
The foundation stone of Lyon 81
Healy's success is to have every piano
they sell act as a missionary, that is,
to be instrumental in selling many
other pianos for them
Lyon and Heay now offer to ship
pianos to persons aT distance at
precisely the same prices they ask
fer the goods in Chicago. Further
more, they make speciality of Sc
Letting instruments for persons at
distance.
The advantage of buying piano
from the great Chicago music house
is self evident. There is nothing to
equal the pianos that Lyon 81 Healy
offer. In the so great makes that
Lyon & Healy sell you will, of course,
find Steinways, Webers, Lyon& Hea-
lys, Washburns, and, in fact, all the
most desirable instruments of the day.

CEYLON ELEPHANTS.
The Only Species In Which the Males
Have No Tusks.

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view of a
he's of African elephants-all tuskers!
It is q singular thing that Ceylon is
the only part of the world where the
male elephants have no tusks. They
have miserable little grubbers project
ing two or three inches from the upper
jaw and inclining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens throughout Cey-
Ion. Although some of the buffalOes
have tolerably fine heads, they will
not bear a comparison with those of
other countries. The horns of the ma
tive cattle are not above four inches
In length.
The elk and the spotted deer's ant
lers are small compared with deer Of
their size in. India. This is the more
singular as it is evident from the geo
logical formation that at some remote
period Ceylon was not an island, but
formed a portion of the mainland. 1t
is thought that there must be elements
wanting In the Ceylon pasturage for
the formation of tyory.-Ceylon Man

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin:
Cement sidewalk bids awarded this
morning by the board of public works
show that contractors have come
down in their figures as compared
with last year. The bidding was
close, ranging from III to 49, cents a
square foot. The specifications upon
which the contractors based their esti-
mates are clear in their imposition of
conditions that must be followed and
for violation of contract, penalties
will be exacted in every instance.
