An intelligent mechanic who left Dunedin some tim© ago for the United States in the hope of finding more sropo for some ideas he intended to patent, is not greatly enamoured with America and American ways. Writing to a business man in Dunedin from Chicago, ho remarks, states the Daily Times.— "Being winter here, things aro quiet, but are expected to be brisk in tho springI did not find the winter as severe as I expected. Things her© are not on such a good orderly basis as in New Zealand. The trusts run the country and things go ahead, but I am afraid it will not last. Tho price of food is very hign, and the average wage is .not higher than in New Zealand. Union carpenters gpt 60 cents per hour — that in. 2s 6d— but there is no steady work ; buildings go up with a rush, all hands are paid off, and there is not milch doing in winter." The piano has passed from a luxury to a household necessity, and especially is this the case where there are children, j Music's early influence remains through all our lives, and in these days it is the recognised duty of parents to give their children a, musical education. If the teaching is to be of any value to the youngsters they must practise on a good piano, such, for instance, n& the Rogers piano.
