judge for himself whether or not the
piano is barg ain.
This list will interest persons who
want a very good piano, for the rea-
son that many of these instruments
are slightly used in name only, that
is, they have had exhibition use in
show windows or have been used for
brief periods in artists studios.
The prices quoted are phenomenally
low. Lyon & Healy arc making a de-
termined effort to close out several
hundred instruments of this descrip,
ton within the next 80 days, and the
prices have been reduced very materi-
ally.
Send for copy of this list. If you
do not wish to pay all cash for a
piano, you can arrange for monthly
payments on portion of the price.

Lyon & Healy exhibit the largest
and most varied stock of pianos in the

The Best Man.

During the old days of Sweden there
were several best men, and the term
was applied in it's full literal sense.
The duty of the best men In those
times was to defend the groom and his
prospective bride from a rival, who, ac-
companied by several retainers, was
sure to appear while the wedding pro-
cession was on it's way to church and
make a stubborn fight for possession
of the woman. The Scandinavian war
rior considered it beneath his dignity
to court q maiden's favor by gallantry
and submission and, therefore, general
ly preferred to wait until she was on
her way to be married to another man,
when the attempt was made to carry
her off by main strength. 1t was then
that the best men-if they were the
best men-came into good play; hence
the custom is still preserved in "best'

"Bunr err"

When people are trying to be very
polite in their language they avoid the
use of the word hummer" yet it is a
most respectable word and is not slang
by any means. 1t is not even an
"Americanism,' but has come to US
from our English relatives and is found
in the English market bylaws of two
centuries ago. In the form "bumma-
rec'' it appears in advertisements in
the Publick Intelligencer of 1860. Orig
inal1y it meant a fish peddler. You
are likely to get your head broken,
however, if you mention it to an hon
est American citizen Of that occupation
now. The United States did not ac-
quire the word until the early ffties,
when 1t appeared in Caltfornia.-New
York World.

The First Lifeboat.

About the year 1874 L. Ludllin, d
London coach builder, designed what
he called an ''unimmergible boat" 1t
was, however, 4 yawl which he con-
verified by adding projecting gunwales
Of cork, with watertight compartments.
1t was unwieldy, and no practical use
was made Of it. Five years later Hen
ry Greathead, a boat builder, designed
lifeboat, which was built by public
subscription, and it seems to have
been constructed on proper lines, for
we find that during the following four
teen years he built no fewer than
thirty-One and, moreover, received a
government award of E1,2O0 The Ma
tional LifebOat institution was found

The Orinin of Alnehra.

If Diophantus of Alexandria, fourth
century of the Christian era, was not
the inventor of algebra, then it is not
known to whom the honor belongs.
To Diophantus the honor is generally
given. The Arabians claim that the
invention belongs to one of their coun-
trymen, Mohammed Ben-Musa, who
1ourished about the middle Of the
ninth century. Certain it is that the
Arabians introduced algebra to Eu-
rope by way of Italy through LeOnar-
do, a merchant of Pisa, who had lived
among the Arabs of Barbary. Leonar-

FOR CAUTIOUS ADVERTISERS.

AT this season of the year, this
advice from the Mail Order Jour
nal applies to a large class of men
whose business is increased or de-
creased in proportion to the amount
of publicity they use:
There are many business men,
whose existence and success de-
ponds on advertising, and whose
minds are at present deeply occu
pied with the question what to do.
The best advice that can be given to
them is to be cautious but not to the
extent of erring too much on the
side of conservatism. To stop adver-
Using entirely will be the greatest
mistake they can make. A nation of
100000 consumers may have to
retrench and economic, but it has
necessities which have to be sup
piled and by advertising the best OPP
portunity to supply these necessities
can be secured. What advertisers
ought to consider before everything
else is where the best markets to
sell are, or the best field to work up
or keep up a demand and what the
best media are to achieve this end.
Everyone knows that the agricultur-
al districts offer at present an al
most unimpaired purchasing power
that the most money has been made
this year by the. people in the agri-
cultural districts and that where the
most money is the most will be
spent.
From the advertising standpoint
the year Will not be a period Of
plunging and experimenting. Adyer-
tisers viii serve their own interests
best to cOnfne themselves to the ad-
yertising media Of tested pulling
power and known not only to cover
well the field they are seeking, but
also 10 bring the most for the money
they cost"
Advertising media Of a tested
pulling power" is a good phrase. 1t
means that in reaching out for bust
ness the merchant, either retail or
wholesale, if he is thoroughly awake
to his interests, viii use those pa
pers that, by years of experience and
the expenditure of much money,
have established themselves and
gained recognized circulation. News
papers are just as much business en-
