THE 
99 
Model Piano 
PRICE $150 to $200. 
The “Model” is a beautiful little Upright or Cottage 
piano; it is manufactured from the best materials that can 
be procured ; the workmanship is excellent, and iis durabili¬ 
ty is guaranteed; it.is small, light, and occupies but little 
room, is easily transported, and above all the “Model” is 
sold at about, one-third the price that is usually paid for any 
other reliable piano. For the above reasons, it is very suit¬ 
able for people of moderate means, and those living in small 
houses; but it is especially adapted for beginners, and on 
account of its low price, commends itself to every parent, 
because it possesses all the principal features of the linest 
piano, and has none of the numerous disadvantages of the 
reed organ. 
For full particulars write for illustrated pamphlet, and 
state where you saw this notice.

There is no obstruction whatever to the draft, yet the re¬

the boiler. 
It is the best and safest Steaming Boiler in use, and we in¬

more steam from less fuel than any horizontal boiler built.

See 
In the July No. American Agricul¬ 
turalist, page 277, appeared a largo3 col. 
advertisement and description of this 
really wonderful machine,— wonderful 
on account of its great capability, prac¬ 
ticality, and its marvellous cheapness. 
Made from finest selected stock (nopoor 
material of any hind in it), and by 
skilled labor. It is at once the cheapest, 
most capable, and most desirable piece 
of machinery in the world. It is NOT 
an amateur machine; professional me¬ 
chanics use it. It will saw out stuff 1 
inch thick readily. It runs true as a 
die, andl/te most intricate scroll sawing, 
fine as lace work , can bo made with one. 
For carriage makers, cabinet’makers, 
and fancy carpenter work 
generally, it is as good as 
_any $$25 machine, and it 
nrn qj } at7te takes in larger work than 
most of them. For boys for 
bracket sawing, &c., it is truly a prize, and it pays for Itself In 2 
days. Parents teach your boys a trade, and amuse them at the same 
time. Bracket saw work commands good prices, and good mechanics 
good wages. A single one of these machines could not be made for $15. 
We make them by tho 30,000, and sell for the lowest possible price. Only 
for the genuine Improved My Companion Jig Saw, and over $2 
worth of designs, saws, illustrated lessons, &c., &c., given free with 
each machine. Sent by freight or express on receipt of price. Saw com¬

Culminating Triumph of tlie 19th Century, 
The Auxiliary 
Rifle Barrel for 
Shot 
Quae. 
The greatest invention 
since that of the 
Breech-Loader. 
Barrel embodies the results t 
have been sought after for years, 
viz., to change a breech-loading 
shot-gun to a rifle at a moment’s notice. In the 
simplicity of this invention lies its unpreceden¬ 
ted success. There arc no screws or nuts, and it is 
inserted in the shot-gun barrel same as © cartridge in a 
gun, and ejected likewise and with the same rapidity. 
The Hide Barrel rests on two bearings which perfectly centre 
the shot-gun barrel. The rear bearing will always fit the gauge 
for which it is ordered. The front bearingis a detachable washer 
or ring; several of these go with each barrel; they vary 1-100 of 
an inch, and one of these will invariably fit. The Auxiliary 
Rifle Barrel is made by the 'Winchester Repenting 
Arms Co., and guaranteed perfect, accurate, and 
OF THE BEST material, BY them. And the ehot-gun sus¬ 
tains no injury from its contact with or the use of the Rifle. A 
long range target sight to attach to grip of shot-gun 5s sent with 
every Auxiliary Rifle. Th® 44 Auxiliary ” has held its own at 
every match in which it has been used, and at 200, 5G0„ and 800 
yards it has made as good scores as a $100 Sharp or Remington. 
Too much cannot be said of it. Every sportsman endorses it. 
Among dozens of testimonials th© following well-known rifle¬ 
men enthusiastically praise it for target and sporting use; Gen 
S. R. Smith, New Haven, Ct.: James Kent, Buffalo N. Y. ? G. A 
Spross, Toledo, Ohio; G. H. Davis (U. 8. Mint), Carson, Nev.; 
C. C. Tiff, Glenvllle, Ct.; L. C. Bruce, Ira Payne, Capt. Bogar- 
dus, Judge Blydenburg, and a host of others. Th© fact that 
they are made by the Winchester Arms Co. is alone sufficient 
guarantee of workmanship. They will (in 44 calibre) give & 
penetration of 4 inches (pin©) at 1,000 yards, and are as good as 
any Rifle made for accuracy. They take up but little room, and 
do not tire the sportsman. Jn ordering , the bore of the gun for 
which they are intended is the ONL Y measurement required. 
The Rifles are made in .32, .38, .44, and .45 (government) cali¬ 
bres, all centre fire, and chambered for long range cartridge®. 
J®r*Ie© t to fit either lO or IS bore shot-guns,

and swab stick. Sent by express on receipt of price, or by mail 
at purchaser's risk, for 85 cents extra. All orders promptly 
filled. Address th© Bay State Arms Co., 03 Water
