Domestic Animals.

WASHINGTON. Sept 1O.-The curious situation of
animals Of foreign origin having right OF way
over livestock Of domestic origin Is created BY a
decision fust made by the Treasury Department,
acting under a provision OF the new tariff law.
The department holds that animals OF domestic
origin taken abroad for temporary exhibition by

their return TO this country, although such ami
mails IL of foreign origin. may be admitted free
OF duty If exported in accordance with the GUS
toms regulations. Acting Secretary Reynolds has
So informed the collector of customs at Port
Townsend Wash. who teIegraphed inquiry.
The law had been amended TO include the free
entry privilege to foreign animals along with do
nestle ones but the new tariff law bears pro-
hibitory provision replacing the paragraph which
gave free entry the domestic animals. and thus
leaves the foreign livestock taken abroad for
circus exhibition the only ones entitled to come

EAST ORANGE, N. j., July IL.
A home builder whose work will
affect vitality the inner life of the
next generation-this is Thos. A.
Edison, come to fulfill the
prophecy of Emerson.
The wizard of East Orange has
prepared his paraphenalia, his
black cloth, his magic table. Soon
he will wave his wand, and
A house, springing out of moth
ing.
A house complete, upstairs,

and his bride to step into.
Edison will pour this house from
molten cement-just pour it out
with no more effort than the iron
master pours red fluid iron and
produces bars and plates, or the
statue maker casts his plaster fig
ures.
The poured cement house-after
eight years of experimenting, and
two years of uninterrupted hard
work, is ready. He will pour his
first building at East Orange early
In August.
When Wizard Edison's plan be
came public two years ago, a howl
of disbelief and ridicule went up.
"Impracticable," the contractors
said.
"a village of houses all exactly
alike-what nonsense" exclaimed
the architects.
BUT EDISON MADE GOOD.
And while the world accepted
the verdict of those experts, Edi-
son put on his overalls and went
to work. He closed the doors of
his factory to the world, and kept
them closed till he was ready to
overwhelm the criticism by
practical demonstration.

equipment and trade to keep six
molds busy all the time. and on
being able to use the gravel taken
in digging the foundations.
One set of molds will cost $685.
600. The rest of the plant would
come up to $4,000. Successful
operation, Edison figures, would
require six sets of molds kept busy
all year. Such an outfit could turn

and operate-that is to say, we believe strictly in
a one-price system. In fact, the many customers
that have purchased Pianos of the last few years
have often said our one-price system protects any
piano buyer, and want every person in the state
of Washington, and any other state where we may
open stores, to know and feel with the assur-
ance that they getting the best possible value
for the least amount quality taken into considera-
ton.
We handle only Pianos and are the largest ex-
elusive dealers in Pianos on the Pacific coast
