kept for use, but a grand is usually in active
requisition, oftentimes by experts. This
means that whereas an upright action may
be inferior in quality without the defects
being readily detected, a grand action must
be of excellent quality, if the piano maker
places any value at all on his reputation."
"What special merits do you claim, Mr.
Palle, for the Schwander grand action?"
"For both grand and upright Schwander
actions," was Mr. Palle's reply, "we claim
superior power, elasticity, responsiveness
and lightness of touch. Our actions are
strictly reliable in every instance, easy to
understand, easy to regulate, and fitted for
any climate. We use only the best American
and European woods and take the whole
world as a field for selection. Makers of
standard pianos are recognizing these facts
widely nowadays, hence it is that our factory
is always in full swing and our men are
never idle."

Loaded With American Goods,
The steamer "Star of Australia," of the
Tyser line, which recently arrived at Mel-
bourne from the United States, carried a
cargo which for size and value has prob-
ably not been exceeded by any single ves-
sel going to Australia. That fact is the
subject of especial comment in a communi-
cation received at the State Department
from United States Consul Bray at Mel-
bourne. This vessel, says Mr. Bray, brought
an entire gas plant, weighing 500 tons, for
the city of Auckland, New Zealand; 400
tons of sewing machines, hundreds of pianos
and organs, and numberless other wares.
Her cargo list, it is stated covered 120 pack-
ages, in which was included every variety
of manufactured goods produced in the
United States.
Death of T. A. Pollock.
Thomas A. Pollock, born in Woodstock

London, Conn., where he was extensively

He leaves a wife, one sister, Mrs. Tanner of
Hope Valley, R. I., two sons and two
daughters in Richmond.
