to China. He provides also a wealth of testimony
to its antiquity from Greek and Roman literature
and sculpture. The most picturesque chapters, per-
haps, are those .devoted to the bagpipe, its musi-
cians, and its music in the British Isles. In the tra-
dition and history, stirring and tumultuous, of the
English, the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, the
bagpipe is inextricably interwoven. The critic of
the New York Times says that Professor Flood
writes with enthusiasm as well as erudition, and
yearns, though hardly with hope, for a revival of
the vogue of the pipes.

To-day is moving clay for this trade
newspaper institution, and next Mon-
day we will open in. our new quarters
at No. 2>73 Fourth avenue.
Our new location possesses many
advantages over the present, and we
have two or three times the amount of
space which we have occupied at No.

It is on the surface and subway
lines, and the building, which is built
of concrete and steel, is equipped with

Who Makes a Specialty of Trimmings for
Violins and Musical Merchandise.
%
The factory of the Paton-Perry Co., Leominster,
Mass., manufacturers of trimmings for musical
instruments and musical merchandise, is running
to capacity, with no immediate prospects of let-up.
The department of the Paton-Perry Co., which is
devoted to the making of piano sharps in ebony
and other kinds of wood, is especially busy. It
is probable that shortly additional machinery will
be installed and additional floor space will be util-
ized to handle the increasing business of this de-
partment.
Treasurer S. S. Paton is enthusiastic over the
general trade conditions for this year and antici-
pates twelve months of healthy business.
The company makes a specialty of trimmings
for violins and other string instruments.
BUEGELEISEN & JACOBSON DISPLAY STAND.
have invented a wire display stand for the ex-
hibition of mandolins, violins, guitars and 'cellos.
The accompanying outline shows a mandolin stand
as it appears holding an instrument.
The wire display stand is particularly adapted
for use in store windows, as very little of the stand
is visible. It is up to date, practical and inexpen-
sive, and is sold exclusively by Buegeleisen &
Jacobson.
A 'cello has long been considered as one of the
most difficult of instruments to display attractively.
To lay a 'cello flat down or to stand it in a corner
means to lose sight of many of its beautiful lines.
With the launching of the new wire stand all this
ii done away with, and enterprising dealers may
procure an arrangement whereby the difficulty in
the display of 'cellos is almost nil.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson are sending out folders
containing descriptive matter and prices. Did you

BASS DRUM AND CYMBAL BEATER.
Julius A. Meyer, St. Louis, Mo., is the inventor
of a foot-operated bass drum and cymbal beater,
on which he ha s been granted patent No. 1,016,510.
I h e object of his invention is to provide an im-
proved bass-drum and cymbal beater, which shall
be capable of being "knocked down" or folded and
carried in the operator's pocket, and yet possess
sufficient weight to be amply durable and efficient
for orchestra or band purposes.
BUY OUT THE BUSINESS.
Lawrence Gittings has bought out the small
goods and talking machine departments of the H.
C. Powell Music Co., Parkersburg, W. Va., and
will conduct those departments in the Powell Co.'s
store. The latter concern will confine itself strict-
ly to the handling of pianos in future.
