Don’t Buy Consigned Pianos and Organs.
Those instruments are liable to have been on sale already at other
places and may have been in the houses of several people aud reject-
ed. Manufacturers of flrstclass reputable instruments can sell all
they make for cash to teliable dealers. Those who make good instru-
ments and consign a portion of their product will naturally select
the best for cash buyers. This is common sense. You can easily as-
certaih whether the instrument offered for sale belongs to the con-
signed class or not by simply offering to purchase it on easy payments
without signing notes. Consignment agents when selling instru-
ments on installments demand not only iron-clad contracts, but notes
with interest and frequency these carry an additional 10 cent, legal
fees. Notes are not taken as additional security, but generally tor
the purpose of transferring to the manufacturers i r selling them, in order to raise money to
secure further credit. Those notes must be paid on the day they become due or the loss of
instruments and all the cash paid must be expected. We are cash buyers. Wehavesix
houses in Texas. We carry a larger stock than all dealers in Texas combined. We have been
established over 38 years in Texas. We do not ask for notes on time sales. We refer to any

AN INTERESTING PATER.
Mrs. E. G. Miller, of Mineola, read the
following paper before the association,
the subject being, “What Could We Do
Without Her?”
Mr. Chairman:—I was very much sur-
prised when asked to discuss this subject.
1 can only do so from a woman’s stand-
point and may be accused of egotism; at
all events it may be a one-sided view, lor
I love my own sex, believe In her capa-
bilities and rejoice that she is making her
influence and strength felt throughout the
world. I believe her to be an important
factor in every relation of life; that she
directly or indirectly influences political,
religious and social life; that God created
her co-equal with man, but this is rather
a difficult sufcsjeet to handle if 1 confine
myself to the Mfcool room end present
woKiQ u ft taftshKr oily. Permit me to
le&ve am ftaftdi “What Can we do
Without He?’,’ irtuf&swerafl for the present
and indulge in a tew moments’digression.
Nature points with her unerring finger to
woman as the educator of youth. Believ-
ing this I will present a few thoughts on
the subject. We women in this day, when
so much is said and done for education of
my sex and the demand is constantly
made that we should come up higher in
the intellectual walks of life, we can but
ask ourselves, what does it mean? What
is the tendency of this movement that is
bringing woman ’o the front and sweep-
ing over the world like a tidal wave? 1
do not believe it is the desire to place
woman in the unnatural position ot a
aspirant or a desire to gain notoriety.
Such a step would be iR direct opposition
to the will ot the Creator. 1 feel that a
woman’s place in lde is unobstrusive,
withdrawn from public service and public
sight. Where it lias been otherwise it has
been either one ot those providential ex-
ceptions which prove the providential
rule, or one from whom we may say the
light ot beauty, ot truth, of grace, of
heaven has been taken away.
And the stamp that is set by God in the
instinctive tastes and physical capabilities
of woman upon woman’s nature is the
.-tamp ot quietness. I do not Intend to
enter into a discussion as to the relative
strength ot the intellect of the sexes.
That has been settled long ago and Is no
longer a matter of doubt or dispute.
What man has done woman can do. His-
tory furnishes us with sketches of eminent
women who have attained distinction in
science, literature, the tine arts, In all
avocations of life. But far better than
this: many of them have enriched the
world by noble needs and lives. Miny ot
them are living and doing noble work
still, and this is my Interpretation of this
great movement tor woman’s elevation.
She is.waking to a knowledge ot her own
capabilities, and with an irresistible im-
pulse is climbing higher, not only intel-
lectually but in great deeds of charity and
benevolence to the world. While we can
not all attain great intellectual heights,
we can all aspire to be models of womanly
excellence. This thought has in it the
greatest power of high and lofty aims.
One would bear hardship to reach the
stars; to And one’s place in the galaxy ot
honorable women whose names are house-
hold words in history or historic words in
households, distinguished in the annals of
all nations or dear in homes that hand
down their sweet memories to children’s
children. As one star differeth from an-
other, so we may differ in our opportuni-
ties ot usefulness, but there are battle
fields in life where victories can be won
by the humblest woman; there are vigils
to be kept in every home by the side ot
our sick and suffering, often our erring
ones, where, by gentleness, forbearance
and unselfishness we win victories over
ourselves and others and set examples to
those around us that will be more endur-
ing and shed more luster on our memo-
ries than the record of great deeds
Every life needs a stimulus; if today I
could arouse a spirit of enthusiasm among
the women of our land to liye a nobler,
better life, and find in their own homes
opportunities to develop lofty aims and
nobler thoughts L would do a grand work.
L would not be understood to underrate
the greatest possible development, of
woman’s intellectual powers, but I do
wish to impress upon women that is a
serious thing to live. Can any woman
sigh for higher earthly honor than that ot
motherhood? Poets, painters, learned and
unlearned, old and young bow before the
( beauty of motherhood. More exquisitly
tender than the lover, as loving as the
angels themselves is the heart of the true
mother. Motherhood was given to woman
as a salyation; it has been more—it has
created a divinity, for the mother’s heart,
in its broad love goes out from her home
and yearns oyer the children of all other
mothers. Of all the great men in the
world it is remarkable that little is heard
of their fathers, but nearly always where
fame has come to a man he has had a
strong, wise, loving mother. Among the
Romans the woman who was the best
mother, either patrician or plebian, was
visited by the matrons and asked to un
dertake the education ot their children.
I have drawn an outline of a portrait to
add to it an accepted standard of scholar-
ship and you have my ideal woman. She
is the natural educator. With her in
stinctive tenderness, with her knowledge
of child nature, she can lead children not
only in the paths ot knowledge but by
precept and example inspire them with
the love of all things pure and good. Did
you ever know a little child that did not
turn to the mother rather than to the
fiither or to the lady teacher rather thu
the raan !a it» hear ef trouble? A school
room !b ft miniature irerld, What can be
a nobler work than molding the child
mind for the duties ot lite? While I be-
lieve it to be eminently proper for the fac-
ulties of our colleges and universities to
be men, nor do I wish to be understood
as excluding our many noble men from
the school room, I really believe that
woman on an average is tne most success-
ful teacher. She is more patient; has
more tact; is more persistent in her un-
dertakings and more loving, tender and
sympathetic than a man can be. The
time is coming, If not already here, when
woman will be recognized as necessary to
the success ol a school. A tew years ago
the sentiment in many communities was
opposed to female teachers, but as intelli-
gence is more widely diffused that preju-
dice has worn away. We still complain
that there is a tendency to crowd us
down to interior positions and giye us
smaller salaries than to men tor the same
work. But that spirit will vanish as the
mist before the. morning sun. I think
most superintendents prefer the larger
part ot their faculty io be women. They
are faithful in the performance of duty
and loyal to the powers that be. Most
women love their work; we must do so if
we do good work. We must remember
that harvests are not gathered in a day.
Our labor may be buried beneath the
weeds and grasses of forgetfulness, but
some day the seed we have Sown will
blossom into flowers and exhale the
sweetest of perfumes. Mr. Chairman,
1 can not answer the question: “What
Can We Do Without Her?” 1 believe it
right lor men to be teachers ot men.
They have their places in the educational
world. We could not do without them;
but it is right and proper for our girls to
be taught by women. This is especially
true when the girl has become a woman.
A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind.
There are emotions which stir the heart
of the young girl that can neyer be un-
derstood or fathomed by man. I can
imagine a world without the dews of
heaven or the warmth of the sun, but this
utter desolation ot a school room without
woman's influence is beyond my Ken.
None of us need seek the school room as
an easy method of support, as men or
women we must work and
‘Be sure no earnest work
Of any honest creature, howbeit weals,
Imperfect, ill-adapted, fails so much
it is not gathered as a grain ot sand,
To enlarge the sun of human action
Used tor carrying out God’s end.
The honest, earnest man must stand and
work;
The woman also—otherwise she drops be-
low
The dignity of man, accepting serfdom.
W hoever tears God, fears to sit at ease.”

Where Rats are Utilized.
Saturday Evening Post.
Almost everywhere in the world, ex-
cept in Paris, rats are considered as a
troublesome nuisance to be got rid of by
any means possible. The Parisians on
the contrary, convert this nuisance into a
useful member of society, and a source of
revenue.
In Paris rats are collected from every
possible source and placed in the great
pound, where the carcasses of all animals
dying in the city are thrown.
These remains are speedily disposed of
by the rats, which leave behind nothing
but the cleanly-picked bones. There are
no such scavengers as rats.
About four times a year these rats are
killed, and their skins are utilized in the
everywhere-admired form of Parisian
gloyes to decorate the hands of iovelin^
the world over.
