Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making n better
article than your competitor If you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
entity before the public both are Ger
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on

The latest novelty in love tokens IL
the "beloved eye" OF course this is
only an imitation of the human eye,
but the miniature portraits are painted
so exquisitely on ivory that the eye Of
the beloved one seems to be shown in
reality.
The painting of the eye is a most del.
icate and laborious task. Only master
hand can produce the exact color and
expression. This makes the fad n very
costly one, therefore its popularity is
confined to the wealthy set.
Many sittings have to be given to the
miniature painter before his skillful
strokes can convey the eyes TO the ivory.
so the work becomes a test of affection
on the part of the man. He is compelled
not only to draw heavily on his purse.
but upon his time.
After the painting is completed IL Is
encircled with a setting of precious
stones, as costly as the purse can buy.
Pearls and diamonds form the favorite
setting, the connecting links of gold be.
ing invisible.
The miniature is then ready to be
suspended from a rope of pearls or q
delicate chain of precious stones. The
miniature must swing low upon the
corsage, so that it may be near the
heart. For this reason the bauble is not
fastened on the end of the chain. but
hangs midway and has fringe of jew
eled links falling below it.
The token of the "beloved eye" is
undoubtedly fraught with bit Of
quaint sentiment, though prominent
society woman gives the reverse side.
With touch of humor she announces
"that any man who presents a minia.
ture of his own eye to his sweetheart
tacitly admits that he iskeeping an eyo
upon all overtures extended by his mas
culine rivals"
The "beloved eye" is passing fad at
best, doomed to be short lived by its
very eccentricity and costliness New

Marcome is about 25 years old and has
been driving some four years. She is
noted for her promptness In making the
trips and her close attention to business.

is Miss Olive Cakes of Egremont, who
carries the mail from North Egrement
to Great harrington. She is 81 and was
learning the dressmaking business when
her father, who has the contract for the
stage line, was taken sick, and Miss
Oakes took his place temporarily. He
grew worse and died about two months

"Furs become very much soil d and

tions given for cleansing and renovating
one seldom finds anything regarding

of one. Dark furs, as seal, mink and
black marten, are cleaned with fine
cedar or mahogany sawdust, which Is
kept i'll stock by furriers
"The garment is ripped free from the
lining and the fur laid on table with
the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed
in the hair and neither strength nor
sawdust spared during the process.
When finished, shake the fur lightly
over the table and save the sawdust that
drops out. Then put upon the table one
or two feather pillows in their usual
muslin slips and upon these lay the
furs hair down this time, and beat
thoroughly with a switch until the saw
dust is out and the fur as clean as q
pin. Keep moving the pillows, as the
fur must have a soft support while
beaten. White furs are cleaned with
