It presents sort of shell-ikt surface with an indescribable blush This blush is so cleverly counterfeited in wax limitations that even those whr are accustomed to handling pearls da! after day are likely to be deceived
 In one of the large New York jew eiry houses last winter customer purchased a hand painted miniaturt set in frame of imitation pearls On examination it was found that sev eral of the pearls had been slightly defaced. and the whole thing was sem to the manufacturing rooms for rc pairs. By chance it came under tn, eye of one of the pearl stringers. wlIr instantly detected four genuine pearls 1n the circle of ilnita tiOu ones about the picture. The frame had passed through dozen expert hands with out any ones noticing the presence of real pearls. No one could account for their being there. If they had not been detected the purchaser of the frame would have had a bargain. for the four genuine pearls were worth many times more than the picture and the rest of its setting.-New York Tribune

A. PATRICOLO.

To say that am highly pleas ed with the superb qualities of your instruments is not enough. Enraptured would be a better word.
 To find a piano that so fully re- spends to every demand upon if, as the Wissner Piano does, is cer- tainly very encouraging to the artist and the musician. In my opinion, 1t denotes the interest that is being taken by the man ufacturers. as also by the general public, in the advancement of this delightful art.
 I consider, MT. Wissnerr, that you have done much to increase the popularity of artistic piano playing.
