Where the Pianos Go.

What becomes of all the old pianos:
Thousands of new pianos are solo
every year, the greater number &c
those who already have musical in.
struments. The salesman allows a
liberal price for the old piano in trade,
accepts little cash, and takes the
balance in monthly payments. Now
while he has sold one piano he has
just as many on his hands as before,
for he has accepted an old one. What
becomes of it? He does not care to
sell it to some one who has never
had piano if he can avoid it, for if
the process of trading continued he
would soon be following himself
around in a circle and there are no
dividends in that. He must find
market for the old musical instru-
ment. To do this he repairs and re-
varnishes the old piano, boxes it,
and, with hundreds of others, it is
shipped to South America, Africa,
Asia and other benighted portions of
the world where it is sold to the
natives, who yearn for music and
whose ambition is to drum out tunes
on an instrument of their own.
These pianos are sold for a small
amount down and the balance in
sometimes weekly, pay
ments extended over long period of
tie. In this way the dealer gets back
not only the pricn he allows for the
old piano in the first place, but the
cost of repairing, boxing and ship
ping, with interest added to each of
the charges.-Harper,S Weekly.

S0UTHPAWS' HELPING HAND
Brave and Bold Effort to Enroll
Left-Handed Folk In
KnighthOOd.

Ushered into being with sermon for
left-handed people, the Excellent Order
of the Knights and Ladies of Ehud was
established at Orange, N. j., Sunday even
ing through the efforts of the Rev Dr..
William A. Frye pastor of the Clange
Methodist church. Certificates of member
ship were given by the minister, who had
assembled the southpaws at his church
with the special object of raising them
out of their slough of despond and MAX
ing them believe that to be Ieft-handed
was to be distinguished, rather than
blighted.
A. hymn composed by DR.. Frye and his
prayer that the Fatherhood Of God ard
the Brotherh cd of Man may com. swiftly
to the world" were impressive incidents
of the service. The church was filled.
Never before in the history Of this com
munity were so many left-handed people
brought together. DR.. Frye, of course, is
left-handed. His text was:
But when the children of Israel cried
unto the lord. the Lord raised them up
a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, a
Benjamite, man left-handed."
Right at the start, the minister pointed
out, Ehud showed his originality and re-
sourcefulness by making his left-handed-
ness useful in delivering the people from
bondage. He was sent to bear tribute
to the King Eglon. Being left-handed.
he had his sword on the right side where
1t failed to excite suspicion. While he
was giving Eglon his hand-his right
hand, as others were accustomed to do
with his left hand he plunged the blade
into the king. Then his followers We're

dishonor my willing hand. but ever ex-
tend 1t to help brother man."
Taking up the theme Of the hardships of
the left handed man. DR.. Frye declared a
left handed man Is no more responsible
for being left handed than he is for being
red headed. Both are respectable.
THE man left handed Is under handi-
cap of custom and definition. Custom
embarrasses him and puts him in the
limbo Of severe discipline. The dictionary
makes him out worthless, clumsy. un-
skillful tyro. The drama takes a fall
out Of him.
