Big Removal Sale
Of Stieff Pianos
As announced several days ago, the present
Stieff piano store will be t6rn awav, beginning
April 1, to make way for the largest exclusive
piano house in Central Pennsylvania.
We find it impossible to secure a large display
room in a central location, and it is imperative
that our surplus stock be sold before the end of
March.
To clear our warerooms, we have decided to
conduct a Big Removal Sale beginning at once
and continuing until March 31.
This sale means the greatest piano buying op
portunity offered in Harrisburg in many years.
Every piano and player piano in the store will
be sold at
10 Per Cent. Off
Our parlors are heavily stocked with Stieff and
Shaw pianos and players such as give the buyer
"that satisfied" feeling.
The Stieff and the Shaw combine a structural
beauty and a perfection of finish that is distinct
ly unique. But away and beyond their unchal
lenged excellence in material, workmanship and
design, is their exquisite tonal qualities.
Don't forget the sale lasts only until March 31.
Once in our temporary quarters prices will be as
usual.
In addition to our regular stock, we have on
hand a number of instruments of standard makes
which we will sell during the Removal Sale at
exceptional prices. Some of these opportunities
are:
Simplex Piano Player SSO
Sterling Upright sllß
Schaeffer Upright S9B
Chickering Upright S7B
Martin Bros. Upright $l2B

STEAM MOTIVE POWER
. It Had Been Used Long Before the
Time of Watts and Fulton
The Marquis of Worcester while im
-1 prisoned in the Tower of London in
I 1656 invented and constructed a per
-1 fret steam engine and had it pu'blicly
j exhibited the same year at Vauxhail
'in successful 0; eration.
Thirty-four years later, in 1690,
i Dennis Papin added the piston to the
| marquis' discovery. In 1698 Caiptain
Savary devised and built a steam en
j gine different in many details from
I those made by Worcester and Papin.
j and in 1705 Newcomb, Cawley and
j Savary constructed tlnMr celebrated at
' mosph'eric engine, which was complete
j in every detail.
The above array of historical facts
1 notwithstanding, James Watt, who was
j not born until sixty years after tliesV
1 great men had given the steam engine
j to the world, enjoys the distinction of
being the veritable inventor, originator
i and author of the most useful con
; trivanee of the present day.
Fulton, who lived and worked in the
early part of the nineteenth century, I
jis given the credit of being the man
> who demonstrated that steam could be
applied to navigation—this, too, in face 1
I of the well known historical fact thatj
; De Gary propelled a vossel by steam
jin the hai'bor of Barcelona in 1543. !

HOW WOUNDS HEAL
Nature's Processes Play a Large Part
in the Operation
>| Few people have any idea of the
! wonderful process by which wounds
j heal. Stitching, dressing, etc., are :m-
I portant operations, but none of them
I can make good the damage or replace
| the loss of tissue in a wound. This is
i the work of our good friends in ihe
■ blood, the white corpuscles, the "scav
engers," so called because they destroy
I disease germs.
When a wound is made, n bone brok
en, a nerve torn, etc., it is chiefly by
these corpuscles finding their way out
of the blood vessels into the surround
-1 ing tissues that the injuries by bullet
\or bayonet are repaired. The union rf
: broken bones, nerves, skin, etc., is ef
j fected by the corpuscles finding their
I way into the coagulated blood wbic'h
i surrounds the injured parts.
They throw out what are called
j "processes," become fixed and join
I each other. A new tissue is thus
formed, which becomes endowed with
| blood vessels. Fibers follow, :ind these
I serve to keep the torn tissues of the
! wound in what is surgically called
| "opposition,''
In this tissue, in the case of a brok-

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE
Vidocti Was a Notorious Thief Before
He Joined the Police
Modern detectives, as a rule, are tit

police training. But not so Vidoeq, tlttf
j great French detective, who wan born
;in Aras iu 1775. He began life as a
I baker and early became the terror of
| his companions by his athletic frame
and violent disposition. At the same
1 time he was a uotorous thief, and aft
lor many disgraceful adventures he cn
! listed in the army.
In 1796 lie returnod to Paris witji
1 .'Onie money, which, however, he soon
I squandered. Next he was sentenced

I SOS he became connected with the

Belgian Hedges
111 Belgium there are no stone or
hawthorn hedges like those in Knglanl.
i Instead of being inclosed by a hcd'<»
the fields are raised up by fairly higjl
jearth banks and the roads are cut oifj
jof them, as it were, so that when you
are walking in ike country you aife
j down in a sort of valley with low green
banks on either side of you.
The things that arc chiefly cultivate#
| in Belgium are the beet root —for male
-1 ing the cheaper kind of sugar, yn&
j know—and you can see field upon ficLS
lof their red-green leaves stretching
I on either side of you as you walk along.
ll' lax is also much grown over there,
and in summer time the fields are a
pretty sight when the pale blue tins
blossoms are out iu full bloom. Bel
| giau asparagus is also renowned atl
lover Europe. It has white instead of
purple-green tips.— London Mail.
