MILLER STERLING CO.'S NEW
 IDEA.

One of the great commercial enter prises. developed in recent years with marvellous rapdity in the talking ma chine business. Every few days an nOuncement is made of some new idea or improvement in the business. The Miller Sterling Co, are among the first in the country to adopt the new method of keeping in stock the Victor Talking Machine records New cases have been built to suit the new way of keeping the stock. In the first place there is a special square envelop of heavy stock for each separate rec ord. This is for the protection from dust and the ordinary clements. when they are not in use. The cases are so built that, now. instead of the records standing on edge, they lie flat. This idea is of great use in this warm eli mate, for 1t prevents warping of the records. The new features will add to the perfectness and to the life of the records. The Miller Sterling Co. carry a stock of over three thousand Victor records. beside their big stock of Edison records.

l challenge him for sundry criticisms published in the Edinburgh Review:
 sir: have the honor to acknowl- edge the receipt of your letter, and do myself the pleasure of replying to it without delay. In affairs of this kind the parties ought to meet upon equal terms. But to establish the equality between you and me there are three things which ought to be done, and can meet you on the field. First, you must marry and have four children. Please be particular to have them all girls.
 Secondly, you must prove that the greater part of the provision which you make for them depends upon your life; and you must be under q bond of s20,000 not to be hanged, not to commit suicide. and not to be killed in duel-which are the con ditions on which l have effected an insurance on my own life for the be- nefit of my wife and children.
 Thirdly, l must tell three distinct falsehoods about you on the hustings. or in some other not less public as- sembly; and 1 shall neither be able to do this, nor to meet you afterward in the manner you propose. unless you can perform the fourth thing. which is. that you must convert me from the Christian religion.
 Till all this be accomplished, our dispute must be carried on without the use of any more iron than is nee essary for blackening our ink and mending our pens, or any more lead than enters into the composition of the Edinburgh Review.
 T have the honor to subscribe my self. sir. yours. with all proper con- sideration.

Fragrant Tribute from the Children

Charles Dickens died in June, 1870.
In September of that year found my
self in London and being shown
through Westminster Abbey by Mr..
William Shaw, one of the editors Of
the London Illustrated Graphic.
After the conventional round of the
abbey had been made, but before we
had visited the Poets Corner, Mr..
Shaw excused himself for a few min.
utes that he might seek out from the
throng in the abbey friend OF whom
he had had passing glimpse little
while before. II will reioin you at
Dickens grave" he said. "You know
he is buried in the Poets Corner"
asked how | was to i1entify the
grave. Mr.. Shaw smiled.
You will not find any memorial or
monument to him upon the WALL" he
said. "A simple slab in the floor
covers his grave. and there is no other
inscription upon it than his name
still"-and ] thought / detected a note

grave"
A moment or two later, as | reached
the Enclosure famous the world over
as the poets corner my eyes were
caught and held by a quantity Of
flowers lying near the center of the
inclosure. My curiosity aroused.
went up to them and found that, loose
though they were, not one of the fra

slab over which they were strewn
