The Way to Meet 1t.

Beresford News: We have heard
much talk by the merchants of
this city about the way to meet
mail order competition and on in
vestigating several methods we
find that the best and almost the
only way for the merchant to meet
them is by publicity and prices.
It is idle for him to think that
people will trade with him simply
because he keeps good stock OF
goods and prides himself on be-
ing a public spirited citizen.
There is no sentiment about
business. and prices are the only
arguments that produce results.
The mail order catalogue is illus
trated and every article is priced.
While they may be no cheaper
than the local merchants, yet the
fact remains that the merchant
keeps quiet, while the mail order
house furnishes the information
that sells the goods.
If the merchants of Beresford
will fill their announcements with
prices-prices that will attract at
tention to prospective buyers-and
keep at it a year, they will cap
ture much of the trade that now
goes to the mail order houses. A
close study of the ways adopted
| by our most successful merchants
plainly shows that they never
make an announcement without
giving information of value. In.
variably they list prices and are
I7regular about quoting special
sales in particular lines ever keep
ing before the public exact values,
quoting long lists that have beer
carefully listed for a short time
There is no question but what
goods handed over a counter hav.
a surer chance of selling than if
presented to l1e>public through {

oRIGlN OF THE MtlFF.
At First 1t Was the Exclusive Property
of Venetian NeAbIes.l

s'Do you know that the color of a
muff once betokened the rank Of
the wearer ?" said furrier the 9TH
er day as he stroked a beautiful
sealskin muff. ''In the days of
Charles TX. no lady could have
worn this fur, for black was decreed
by the king to be the badge of the
common people, and the court fol-
lowers were restricted to the colors.
"Muffs have gone through more
styles than it would seem possible to
invent for such a simple article of
convenience. 1t has been long and
narrow like sheaf and again large
and round. At the beginning of
the last century the test Of size was
to try the, tnuf in a flour barrel. If
1T went III without much trouble,
then that muff was GOO snail to be
really fashionable. At the present
day almost anything is proper, but
those enormous cylinders would GER
tainly draw much attention. One
Of the most curious; styles was that
of Louis XIV, called the 'chiens
mauchons,' because, they we're made
Ito convey little dogs in.
1TThe muff when first introduced
Was the exclusive property of the
nobility and originated in Venice.
These 1nuffs were very small and
consisted of a single piece of velvet,
brocade or silk, lined with fur, and
the openings fastened, with rich
jewels. Such ar.rangements came in
during the early part. Of the seven
teenth century, but n;the previous
century the ladies frequently car
fied a piece of 1ich fur, which they
used either as ,muff Or neck piece.
'.The muff reached its highest
point in the reign Of Louis Nv.
when the prod nctiohs were exqui-
site. Then fas hion declared for q
cloth muff inst, lad of fur, and the
furriers made a great, nproar. They
petitioned the pope to excommuni
cate the wearer of cloth muff, but
to no purpose. Finally some iii

THE MOUNTAIN FIDDLER.
His Music and His instrument and the
Way He Plays Il.

There is hidden among the noun
tains Of Kentucky, Tennessee and
the Carolinas a people of whose in
ner nature and its musical express
sion almost nothing has been said.
The music of the southern noun
taineer is not only peculiar, but,
like himself, peculiarly American.
Nearly all mountaineers are sing
ers. Their unframed voices are Of
good timbre, the women's being
sweet and high and tremulous and
their sense of pitch and tone and
harmony remarkably true. The fid-
dler OF the banjo player is well
treated and beloved among. them,
like the minstrel of feudal days.
The mountain fiddler rarely cud-
dies his instrument under his chin.
He sets it against the middle of his
chest and, grasping his bow near
the middle, wields it with a juggling
movement quite unlike the long
sweep of the accomplished violin
lists bow arm. 1t is sometimes COM
planned, that their playing is too
rapid and jerky, but the tunes are
composed for this tempo, and no
other would be found suitable.
Prominent among the elements
of this music is that leading Amerit
can Characteristic, humor; not the
sparkling Yit..of the French nor the
broad, clumsy jollifcation of the
Teuton nor sarcasm nor irony, but
the keen, wholesome, freakish
American love of a laugh, and il
peryades, directly or indirectly, al
most every line. The music, too
while usually minor, is not of Z
plaintive tendency. There are few
laments, no sobbiag and wailing
In this it differs radically from
that Of savage peoples. Neither has
it any: martial throb or clang. 1t i.
