It may be used in connection with any piano, and at the same time does not in any way in- terfere with playing the instrument in the ordinary fashion, the key being left perfectly free. It is easy to see that even should the electric device not suc- ceed in playing with the musical ex- pression of a good pianist, there is much work which it might do to gen- eral satisfaction.

A horse should be treated just as you would a man or boy. My carriage horses fared better at the hands of an old Englishman who knew nothing about a horse than any other driver I ever had. When this man asked me how he should treat them he was told to treat them just as he did himself only a little better. He was methodical in his ways, and he always fed the horses before he fed himself. In warm weather he watered them whenever he got the chance, and in winter three times a day. Inasmuch as the hovses could not scratch themselves, he gave them a good brushing every moraing, and it is my rule in driving a horse that whenever I feel that I want a drink myself I also feel that the horse may be suffering in the same direction. —Senator Palmer. —__—+ + =___ —Dr. Murray, of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, estimates the mean height of the land of the globe to be Kansas to St, Louis, ERIE Money to Loan.
