J AED -BY- The Cash System J. E-BOBBINS & SON Hare determined to abolish tbe Old Credit System, AND HAVE MADE Sweeping Reductions! In Musical Instruments, Sheet Music, Music Books. Strings and everything per taining to the music trade. We have called in all our traveling men, discontin ued our sub-agencies, stopped selling to the trade, and now offer to sell direct to the consumer at a less price than we have been selling to the trade. We propose to sell for cash with order, thereby avoiding bad debts. Every Piano and Organ sold by us is fully' warranted for five years, and will be kept in repair free of charge. - Any Piano or Organ ordered of us can, after three days' trial, be returned at our expense if not as recommended and satis factory, and the money will be refunded. You can buy a Piano cr Organ of us on the installment plan at the tame price as the cash purchaser. By paying us any amount at any time we place the same to your credit and sand you a certificate of deposit. When you Lave deposited the full cash price of the instrument you wish it will be subject to your order. Should sickness or other misfortune overtake you before the amount of the instrument is deposited, and should you so desire, your money will be refunded in full. We buy Pianos and Organs at the factory for cash and ship in car-loads. Other Musical Goods we buy in Europe and get them as low as the Lowest. Now as we offer to. sell direct to the consumer, you will get your goods at a heavy reduction by ordering from us. The cry of Shoddy will be set up by in terested parties, but it will not go, for these are the same Pianos and Organs we have been selling for the past ten years ; and it is a well-known fact that there are no better instruments made in the World. We append our Price List, in which are Bhown our old credit prices and our pres ent tremendous reductions. We give prices of leading styles only, but the same reductions run through all style : .

We have been in the Musical Merchan dise business for the last ten years, and as to our mode of deal in?;, refer to persons who have bought our instruments in all portions of the North Pacific Coast.

What Pao-M by the Instrument IJuld lagn and Fences Crops anU F.'xUre. In the buying and setting of farms, disputes frequently arise as to what passes by the deeds that is, what fix. tures or movables are included in the transfer of ownership of the farm, although there may be no question as to how far the farm extends, and how many acres it contains. Many of these disputes result from the difficulty ot distinguishing between "real estate1' and '-personal property," or to us- more accurate legal terms, between ' land" and "fixtures." In law, the word "land" includes hou es and barns, and other buildings, as well as the soil itself, and "fixtures" are arti cles aflixed to land, as pump?, fences, mantel-pieces hooks for hanging clothes, art cles of household furniture, etc. "Fixtures" are commonly called movable" and "immovable," thelattei nclud ng all articles so attached to la;.d," or using the term in its legal sene (that is, including its build in (that they can not be removed without uamaging the. "land;" such as doors, permanent sdielvings, etc., while articles not so attached, as chairs, stoves, etc , are "mova'.dij" fixtures'. The rule is. that the land, in its legal meaning, and all immovable fixtures, ass by the deed. Hearing the forego ne n mind, it is commonly eay to de lerm'ne what articles the deed passes. heiher m?nt oned in the deed or not. all the permanent buildings on the farm pass by a conveyance. Tem porary bu-ld'ngs, as t or.i erilis. hog j e is. hen houses, etc., will pass, unless expressly reserved in the deed. So s-trons; is the pre-umption that all the buildings on a farm pass by the t!e. d. th t "'von when a third per n has been allowed by the farmer to put a in lding on his" land, such building is commonly held to go with the farm, and the actual owner is not allowed to remove it. It is argued that the buyer of the farm had a right tosuppose that the build ng belonged to the farm. The owner of the building can recover its value of the man who has sold the farm upon which it was placed. It is very commonlv known that the fences pass with a sale of the f irm. It is also true that fencing ma terial, as posts, boards, etc., when once ued. so w.th the farm, although they mav at time of the sale be out of the so 1, and piled awav for future use. If, however, the fencing materials have never been used, but have only been hauled on to the farm to be made into fenee at some future dav, then thev w 1 not pass by the deed unless espeoally mentioned. Loose boards thrown across the beams in the barn, and scaf fold poles, do not go with the farm. but cm be taken down and removed r sold. It would be otherwise if they we.e na'led or fastened to the bu lding. it is held that boards and timbers once rsed in a buildinjr. wh eh hasbe?n torn down, and themater'als stored away to be used again, go w.th the farm, as part of the real estate.

L'o rs anl window-blinds, whether on the house or taken awav from the prem'ses to be pa;nted, are so far land" that they go with the deed. If, however, the blinds have never been ittel to the house, the man who Duys the farm will have to pay a separate i-rico for them, if he wants them. The ourts have dee'ded that tie-chains for cattle, attached to the barn, and tie-up pianks. stanch'ons. - timbers, etc., are titcilly included in the deed, and pass U; it. Mantel pieces made part yf the house go with it, but if put up with brackets and in such a way that thev ran be removed without damage to the building, the contrary is true. Brick airnaces, set kettles, pumps in wells and sinks, all go to the new purchaser O: the farm. ithout further enumer ation. it m ty be said that many practi cal ditliciiities oi ti e subject can be re moved by applying the rule mentioned in the opening paragraph of this article. E. S. Judd, in I'rairie Farmer. FUNNY FANCIES. Sime Statement by a Philosopher Tro- ocative of Amusement. Among other curious zoological statements of Aristotle's which seem to receive his support, and which may be set down as current folk-lore of his time, are the following: "L any one make a noise as grasshoppers fly along, they emit a kind of moisture, as agriculturists say. They feed on dew, and if a person advances to them bending his finger and then straighten ing it, they will remain more quiet than if the finger is put out straight at once, and will climb up the finger, for from bad sight they asi ead it as if it were a moving leaf"" "Persons who have parasites in the head are less subject to licadach?. Moths are produced in the greatest abundance if a sp"der is shut up with them in the wool, for this creature being thirsty dries up any moisture which may he presen Small birds during the day fly round the owl which is called admiring it and as they lly round it they pluck out its feathers." "The anthus" (some bright colored bird) "is an enemy to tlie horse, for it drives the horse from its pasture and eats the grass: it imitates the voice of the horse and frightens it by flying at it, but when the horse catchej it he kills it" "If any one takes hold of a she-goat by the long hairs of the beard, all the others stand still as if bewildered and gaze at her." "The hawk, though carnivorous, c;o ;s not eat the hearts of the biids it has killed." "The jay has manyvariet. es of voice; it utters a ditl'erent one, so to speak, every day." "The goat-sucker flies against t'o she-goats and sucks them, whence its name. They say that, after the udder has been sucked, it be comes dry and goes blind." "Mares becomes less ardent and more gentle if their manes are cut. At certain times they never run to the east or west, al ways north or south." "The sow gives the first teat to the first little pig that is born." "When a serpent hastaken its food. It draws itself up till it stands orect upon its tail."!' A. Fernald, inPopular Scisnce Monthly. THE HORSE ERA. Reasons Why Equities 11a the Business of BreA Ung Assamed Such Propor- tion. With occasional interruptions, aris ing from disturbed financial conditions, there has been a continuous cattle era since 1817." This was confined until within a few years to a few States, not ably to New York, Ohio and Kentucky, for prior to the importation made to 111 no's, by the Illinois Importing Com pany of 18"j7, there were but very few improved cattle within the State, and the interest in th's class of stock was sl!ght indeed. The same may be sa'd of Indiana. Michigan, Missouri, .and States west and northwest The build ing of new railroads added each year to the fac'l t es for handling cattle, and wh le the roads were accepted as a boon to cattle growers and feeders, it was expected that steam having taken the plac of horses for hauling produce to market, at the same time driving the old-t me staire coach before it to the front er. the demand for horses would "radually deerea-e beforo these inllu- ences. esrec'aUv with the addition of the expect h! steam plow upon the farm: but in place of this tlicre is now a "horse era" stand inw out as bold, prominent and prom ising, as did the cattle era at any peri od of its h nhest successes, for every added railroad to the list, and for every added mile of extension, an increased number of heavy horses is required to move car-loads of coal, lumber, ma chinery and goods of every sort Not alone are these needed at points to whch these th'ngs are shipped, but equally so at the points from whence received. Any person in doubt as to tlrs description of hauling being of exeat magnitude can satisfy himself by loo'viii!r over tiie statements made for railroad lines for. a given period at any railroad center, leaving out of the esti mate the loading of cars with grain di rectly from elevators, It is not over-stating it to say that it will re iuire two heavy teams one day to load a freight car, considering the usual distance to freight depots from the bus ness center in large cities, if this estimate be correct, then it wdl reuuire the work of twenty such teams to load an ordinary train. e venture the opinion that one half of tbese horses will do this de scription of haul'msr over paved streets. durin-r a term of four years, and the other half during a term of six years, or on an average of five years for bo!h classes. There will be not a few of thes? horses, we admit, that w 11 be tit to return to the farm, and for a while do farm work, but this in n degree les sens the number of recruits required to fill their places on the heavy trucks. Follow up the idea, and give it an ap plication to all our shipping and re eeivinsr points, and the imagination need not be drawn upon to make the illustration truthful and complete, that we are. for a fact, in the mid t oi a ho sj era. The demand we refer to ex plains why the importation of heavy horses, and their breed'ng in this coun try, has assumed such enormous j ro portions. It is not that the iraj or:a- t-.ons made rive rise to the work re ferred to. but rather there is as imr era live a d -mand for horses suitable to do the work all the time springing up, as there is for heavy freight engines to haul freight trains. Economy pre cludes the use of too light engines for hauling a heavy fre'ght train, and foi like reao::s of "economy all men of ex- A 1- 1 - 1 perience in moving neavy irucK loans see the uselessness of using four me dium sized horses for doing the work that can be better done by two of ample weight and power. .or ;s the present altogether an era for heavy-horses, lhe era ot the trot ting horse is quite as pronounced; and the trotting horse has taken a deeper hold on the general publ c than was ever accorded to the thoroughbred race horse. It is but a few years since one or two breeding establishments of draft and trot an r horses would have been able to meet all the demands for e ther class, and while in our day manv .-uch establishments are located in the differ ent States, yet no well-bred, merit orious stock remains unsalable in the hands of the breeder. This state of th'ngs is not ephemeral, but as all the reasons for its existence wiil continue with steadily added force, no well planned and well managed investment neea De consiaerea in jeoparuy. na tional Live Stock Jonrna'.

There is no doubting the potent in fluence of the almighty dollar, and hence the attractiveness of the large advertisement of J. II. Robbins & Son which appears in another column of this paper. This enterprising firm has opened up the way by which $200,000 will be saved in the next two years to the people of Oregon and Washington in the purchase of pianos and organs. The examination of their partial price list given in their advertisement will show the most surprising reductions in price, amounting in some instances to over fifty per cent. The reasons for these reductions and the causes which have led it are fully explained in tho announcement. Messrs. Itobbms & Son were the pioneer musical instru ment dealers on this part of the North Pacific coast to put out traveling agents, and now they are the pioneers in the abandonment of traveling men and commission agents. . 1 here was a time when these agencies were an ab solute necessity in this kind of business, but now times have changed. Railroad communication and other facilities have brought the people of the country within very easy reach of our commer cial center, and they ought to have the benefits of these facilities in getting their goods for cash and at lowest cash prices. Kobbins & son are progressive merchants. They do not believe in old fogy plans when newi methods are practicable. They have been carefully considering the situation for some time and have reached their conclusion ad visedly and not hastily. It is needless to inform those who know the house that this is a reliable, responsible firm, and that they are square dealing in all respects. If anyone has ever thought of buying a piano or organ, they will do well not to neglect this golden op portunity to save money. So as there I is power in the big dollar and many of them can be saved by purchasing of Robbins & Son, there should be no lceitation as where to buy your piano. 1 RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

The Harvard authorities have de cided against the proposition to make attendance at morning pravers purely voluntary. It is quite remarkable that the proposition should have been made at all.

An eminent lawyer of the city of New York, Hon. Jos. R. Flanders, formerly law-partner oi ex-Viceiresldent Wheeler, and for several years a member of the N. Y. State Legislature, was called upon by a xteporter at his well-appointed cilice in "Temple Court," and interviewed in re gard to nis experience with Compound Oxygen. "I found him," says the lte- porter, "disposed to engage in coaversa tionregarding his illness and his complete restoration to health." His statement was substantially as follows : " For many years I suffered from weak digestion and the dyspepsia consequent upon it. My health since I was twenty one years of age was not at any time vig orous. Gradually I declined into a state of physical and nervous prostration, in which work became almost an impossi. bility. In 1679 I was all run down in strength and spirits. Energy and ambi tion had departed. 1 " So I kept on until the summer of 1S82. Then I went to Thousand Islands, where I stayed several weeks with friends. But 1 found that the atmosphere did not agree with me. I came away feeling that the battle of life "was nearly ended. Tlie next time I saw my old law-partner Vice Pres ident Wheeler he told me that the Doctor had said to him that he never expected again to see me alive. When I arrived at home in September, it was in such a state of exhaustion that I was unable to leave the house except on mild days, and then only to walk slowly a block or twe. "Meanwhile ray son had learned some thing about Compound Oxygen.and wrote, urging me to try it. But I had lost all faith in remedies. I had tried many things, and had n energy to try any more. In September, howevei, my son came to New York and persuaded me to visit Dr. Turner, who is in charge of Dr. Starkey & Palen's office in New York. I went, not because I had any faith in this Treat ment, but to gratify my son's kind impor tunity. When Dr. Turner examined my case, he thought I was so far gone that he hardly dared to express the faintest hope. " On . the seventh oi October I com menced taking Compound Oxygen. To my great surprise I began to feel belter within a week. In a month I improved so greatly that I was able to come to my office and do some legal work. I then came to the office recrularly except in bad weatner. Un tne nineteenth oi December a law matter came into my hands. It wan a complicated case,promising to give much trouble and to require close attention. Had no ambition to taka it, lor 1 had no confidence in my ability to attend to it. consented, however, to advise concerning it, and to do a little work. One complica tion after another arose. I kept working at it all winter and into the spring. For three months this case required as con tinuous thought and labor as I had ever bestowed on any case in all my legal ex perience. x et under the constant pres sure ad anxiety I grew stronger, taking Compound Uxygen all the time. In the spring, to my astoyiishment and that , of my friends, 1 teas as tit as ever for hard work.
