GENTLEMEN,—I would like to tell you how much I ap- preciate, from an ARTIST’ point of view, the very excellent Grand piano supplied to me for my concert in London, and the magnificent Grand that you furnished me for my concert m Massey Hat, Toronto. The tone is sonorous, the sing- ing quality and sustaining quality just what we vocalists ap- Preciate, and I feel that any one in quest ofa really First

ADVERSE GRITICISM.

What flowers I had in one fair knot were bound,

And so I laid them on a pablic stall, Wondering would any one take note at all, Or, taking note, te praise them would be found. A keen eyed critic fapned the nosegay round,

Then cried, ‘‘No tris flowers these!'’ and let it fall— ‘*Mere weeds that grow against the church's wall! And what coarse thread about the stalks is wound!’’

*Tis true, I fear me, dandelions and grass I cylled, mistaking them for garden bloom And half believing that they so might pass, And now my critic has pronouneed my doom. Haif undeceived, I shall not grudge my lot If friends may find one true forgetmenot. —I. in Londen Spectata-.

SILK FROM THE SPRUCE.

Pulp Fiber Is Found to Make a Very Good Substitute.

Silk of excellent quality is being made from the spruce tree in Europe, and a movement is on foot to establish the industry in this country. It is said that the cost of making silk by this proc- ess is one-fifth that of the spinning from the silkworm cocoon. The fiber takes dye as readily as the animal prod- uct and can be woven as securely and as rapidly. It is also claimed that the tensile strength ef the fabric is as great, as if not greater than, the real silk.

Although the spruce lends itself to the process better than most wooda, osb- er forms of pulp can be used, the in- ventor even declaring that old newapa- pers, after they have been cleaned of the printer’s ink, may be readily made into silk. The inventor, who has made the subject a study for 20 years, based his experimental work on the fact that the silkworm, in eating and assimi- lating the leaf of the mulberry tree, ob- tained the foundation of the silk from vegetable fiber. In trying to hit upan the partioular chemical process that the original fiber went through hefore it was spun as silk by t&e loom he found that after the fiber hed been separated it needed the chemical action of a-cer- tain form ef glucose. In the new treat- ment the tree is crushed and the result- ing fiber is mixed with glucoss and then placed im deep metal tubs. A disk, somewhat like a steam piston, is then forced down on the mass by hydraulic pressure until it is compressed into a very heavy gum. At the bottom of the tubs are tubes terminating im tiny glass nipples, with exceedingly small aper- tures. Under the hydraulic pressure the mixtyre is forced owt of these glass nipples in silklike fibers, which are so fine that the girls who are employed in this portion of the process are obliged to wear highly magnifying glasses in order to see when any of the fibers break. The material is then car- ried over electrically heated drums, which dry the ether and the alcohol out of it. It is then plunged into iced water, dried and spooled for the looms. — Buffalo Exuress.

Irelanu a3 a Tourist Resovwt.

The question is continually asked, Why is Ireland, with its exquisite scenery and almost unrivaled beauty, neglected by the peripatetic Saxon? There are, or have been, invariably two methods of solving the problem. The Saxon has shrugged his shoulders and repeated for the thousandth time the old formula about the discomfort and the excessively high tariff of the Irish hotel, or, on the other hand, he may have remarked on the dilatoriness of the Irish railway train. It is not for us to deny that, to a very considerable de- gree, complaints of this character have been more than justified, but a recent and rather extended experience of both these necessary adjuncts to the business of touring has reveuled te us the fact that such grounds of dissatisfaction are being rapidly and certainly removed. Treland has at last awakened to her pos- sibilities as a tourist. resort, which, whether it be in sea, mountain, lake or river scenery, rivals, if it does not ex- cel, Scotland and Wales. She is acceler- ating and improving her railway serv- ice; she is opening up new and—for the tourist—virgin routes; her hotel proprietors are alive to the necessity for materially changing their methods, and, given these conditions, there can be no possible reason in the world why Ireland should not cbtain a fair share of the holiday harvest which at present is bestowed with bounteous hand upon the continent.—St. James Gazette.

Progress In Victoria’s Reign.

‘*‘When Victoria was called to the throne, the United Kingdom contained 26,000,000 people,’’ writes William George Jordan of ‘‘What Victoria Has Seen,’’ reviewing in the June Ladies’ Home Journal the world’s progress during the 60 years of the English sov- ereign’s rule. ‘‘Teday it has over 89,000,000. The ‘wise men’ of the time said the nation would go to pieces. They claimed it could never govern its home and colonial possessions. Under Victoria the new territory acquired alone is one-sixth larger than all Eu- rope. Today Victoria rules over 402,514,000 people, or 27 per cent of the population of the globe. Her empire extends oyer 11,399,316 square miles, covering 21 per cent of the land of the world. The United States at the time of Victoria’s coronation had only 17,000,000 people ; today it has 70,000, - 009. Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana were then western frontier states. All our territory west of the Mississippi contained less people than Philadelphia has today. Our present transmississippi population exceeds in number that of the whole country in 1837. Our territo- rial area has increased 75 per cent and our national wealth has increased about 1.700 per cent.’’

Over twenty-five years I have been in the Spectacle bu inoss and during that time have fitted hundreds and hundred of persons. Some had put off getting glasses so long that thes could not see a large 4 inch letter A without going within 2 or 3 feet of it, and might have gone blind if they had put off getting glasses much longer. Others have been fitted or rather misfitted, with wrong glasses by travellers, and charg- ed a great deal more than they ought to have been. This yvar our traveller, Mr.C. H. White, intends calling on par- ties at their homes in the country, to test eyes and show sam ples of our goods. Should he call on you I bespeak for him your favorable consideration, and any order you may give him will be fillec as soon as possible and guaranteed by me.
