A MUSICAL EDUCATION FOR j HALF A CROWN. SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. I nnHE above heading will, of course, appear to ' JL mosfrpeople as the height of absurdity, yet the absurdity is more apparent than real. It goes without Baying that a finished musical education in the regular course cannot be bad for a crown, or even with several hundred additional crowns, bat can it be truthfully Baid that the pers on with a sufficient knowledge of music to play accompaniments readily on the piano or organ to all the popular and standard songs of the day fatis no musical education ? Assuredly , not. A musical education sufficient to enable i one to play correctly accompaniments to the songs sung- in the home frequently gets and gives more pleasure from the modest accomplishment than does the acquirements of many on whose education large sums have been expended. To the more modest musical education the •bove heading applies. Such an education the J Otago Witness is now enabled to offer its muiic-loving readers for half a crown, the publishers having recently decided to reduce the price to that sum. This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt's Chart of Chords for the Piano and Organ, which is the nearest approach to a ready-made knowledge of music yet attained by science. It is a short cut to harmony, and is to music what the multiplication table is to arithmetic — a quick method of Jearning to play the Piano or Organ without a teacher. With this chart anyone can with but a small amount of practice become an expert accompanist. It is complete self-instruotor, enabling anyone to play without difficulty accompaniments to any soDg ever written. It is valuable to the advanced musician as well as the beginner, embracing nearly avery major and minor chord used in music, and is endorsed by teachers and musicians everywhere. This chart is the practical result of years of study by Charles E. Pratt, the noted American composer and musician, whose compositions have world-wide popularity and & larger sale than those of any other American or European composer. Believing that the educational and pleasuregiving value of this Chart is very great, the Otago Witness has arranged with the publishers to supply Pratt'a Chart of Chords to its readers at Half a Cbov.n each, and in addition to the Chart of Chords the publishers have kindly agreed to send without extra chargo a copy of the Book of Songs, containing 184 songs, with words and music. Many of these Eocgs arc old-time favourites long out of print that can be ob'ained in no other way. Every home that has a piano or organ, especially where there are children, should have Pratt's Chart of Chords. Address, with postal notes to value of 2s 6d, with l^d lor postage, Publishers Otago Witness, Dunedin.

The Nelson Cpjonisi. states thaton Saturday morning two lads were chasing each other round a- building, when one of the boys rushed through an open door, which was partly constructed with glass, and closed it after him smartly. The second lad, not perceiving the closed door in the excitement, struck the door heavily, one arm being thrusb through the glass portion of it with very (serious result, it being very badly lacerated. Medical aid was sought, and between twenty and thirty stitches were needed to temporarily repair the iaiurZft
