RINCB & SON are manufacturing upright
pianos at their factory and warerooms,
203-205 East 123d street, New York, which it
would be well for dealers to look up. They are
made exclusively for the wholesale trade and
scld at a reasonable price. Prince & Son are
practical piano makers, and their wares should
prove satisfactory. They claim as their special-
ty " a high grade piano at a low price."

ns' tions has there been more significant indi-
cations of development and progress, both as to
quality and quantity, than among the periodi-
cals devoted to musical interests. In respect of
general attractiveness and in the manifestation
of editorial ability they hold their own with pub-
lications in other fields of literature, and may be
said to be fully up to date.
The Keynote is a monthly published in New
York city, and devoted to music, art, the drama
and literature. It has regular departments un-
der the headings, " Brush and Pencil," "Wo-
man's World," " The Stage and Its People,"
'' Literary, " " News from Abroad,'' besides a
review of current events and articles of general
musical interest. The December number con-
tains "The Romance of a Piano Stool," by
Thomas Holmes; "Songs That Come Back to
Me," by George Augustus Sala ; "The Star-
Spangled Banner," by John C. Carpenter, and
" Stringed Musical Instruments of an Early
Period." With this number is published also
Paderewaki's "Melodie," op. 8, No. 3, and a
song for tenor or soprano, '' The Kiss, Dear
Maid," composed by Edward Baxter Felton.—

f
HE best way to produce the beautiful black
so admired in pianos and other articles of
furniture, etc., is to moisten the surface with
dilute sulphuric acid, and then heat until the de-
sired stain is produced, says Photographic Work.
The rationale is, of course, that the heat drives
off the water, and so concentrates the acid that
it carbonizes the tissue.
Such dilute acid, to which a little white sugar
has been added, makes an excellent-"sympa-
thetic ink," the writing being invisible till the
paper is heated, when the acid abstracts the
water from the sugar, liberating the carbon.

HE LAST OF THE DANVERS. This is
the story of a fatalist. It is written to the
memory of J. Oscar Bill, by his brother, the
author of the book. J. Oscar Bill was a soldier
in Company A., 1st Regiment, Connecticut
Volunteers. The book is a very entertaining
description of Montana and the Indian regions
immediately after the last war. The characters,
who were participants in the late Civil War, mi-
grated to the Western country at the beginning
of the Indian outbreaks. Captain Danvers, the
hero of the story, is a believer in fatalism. His
grandfather and father died at a certain hour
and this hangs over the hero as a never forget-
ting nightmare. True to his prediction, he fol-
lows the example set by his sires and dies as the
prophesy indicates. The story is charmingly
told, artistically written and bears evidence of
discriminating study throughout. As a tribute
to his brother, Mr. Bill has given the world
something that he should feel very proud of.—

said the piano merchant to the man
(2^ who swept the office, '' I want you to
go down the street and tune a piano for a family.
They 're in a great hurry or I wouldn 't ask you
to do it, but the regular tuner has gone for the
day."
" I can't tune pianos," replied the man.
" Oh, yes, you can," said the dealer, cheer-
fully. " Just open the top and you'll see a lot
of keys. Give 'em a few twists so as to tighten
the wires, thump on the keyboard like a crazy
man for fifteen minutes, charge them $4 and
then come back in time to put the coal in."
And the sweeper did it. That evening the
daughter of the house remarked to her fiance :
" How charmingly he tuned it. I was never
able to play Wagner's music so deliciously."

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING,
and thouands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
