Bright*! Part of My Trip. |
The New York fashion correspondent of
Southern paper gives out the following :
A lady writes : " I have read your letters j
for a long time, and have often envied you I
the onnortunitv vou enjoy of seeing the beau>
tiful things you uescnuc. i uku U. th?r.b,
when I read of those charming dresses and V
parasols and hats at lx>rd & Taylor's, that
theirs must be one of those stores where a
timid, nervous woman like myself, having but
a few dollars to spare for a season's outfit,
would be of so little account that she would
receive little attention ; but when you said,
* in one of your letters a few months ago, that
goods of the same quality were really cheaper ,
rram tiny otHeV hrm
in New York, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, I determined, if I ever went to New
" | T on to I,ord & 'Taylor's.
luin, t ?vw.~ b - ..
" That long-waited-for time came in the
early autumn, and I found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those wonderful
windows at either side. I summoned
my courage and entered, as I suppose tens of
thousands of just such timid women as I
have done before. My fears were gone in an
instant. The agreeable attention put me at
tny case at once, and I felt as much at home
ns though I were in the little country store
where my people have ' traded' for ncarlv a
quarter of a century.
" And now, as 1 wear the pretty things T
purchased, or sec them every day and find
them all so satisfactory, I think of my visit
to this great store as the brightest part of my |
trip to New York."

JT is almost startling at the present 0
day to recall that the first great (l
improvements in artillory were all ^
made bv the Turks, as indeed ,,
P.tffiftfiHViVtt?d>tv<lr,'into a science. It wai
their supremacy in this branch, remarks
tno Txmdon Standard, even
more than the discipline and ferocity *
of the Janissaries, which caused thd '
Ottoman Army to bo thought inrinoible
for two centuries. The natural genius
pf the race for war was well displayed
by the readiness with which they
grasped the importance of gunpowder,
and the methodic way they set about
developing its eapabilities. We look
on our own Artillery Company with
the reverenec due to age ; hut it is almost
modern compared with the Topjf
service of the Turkish Army, that came
down intact from the Janissary force,
which it preceded. There were regular
batteries at the siege of Constantinople
which did not belong to the Jalisissary
organization ; we may suppose, therefore,
that the Topji ortas of that time
were composed of native Moslems. The
(MB*lmSMJkai> of then) with tin; Jams amwiw
fanum nun 1 ii riirtrr r
wan doubled presently.
Nowhere else in Europe hud any
lower drenmcil of employing such
force fur tho of big kiiiih
alone. Hince flu* gunners ??f the Janissary
force were transferred on maseo
to Mm Sultan's now army, it is a fuel,
however curious, (lint tho Turkish
artillery of tho present day is tho oldest
military hotly in tho world. Wo
may wonder how many of itH oflieers
am conscious of tin- distinction.

Inust play in warfare, and having
formed a body of men to cultivate that
branch, tho Hultans ahortly perceived
that the bigger they could make their
nieces the more effective they would
be. The result at art led Europo at the
sicgo of Rhodes, not because it was a
novelty then, but. because the story of
that gallant defeneo sent a thrill
through Christendom. Whilo tho
Kings of Prance and England wero
priding themselves on popguns, so to
speak, they heard that tho Turks hs-J
sirtecn great "bombards," oneh twenty-two
feet long, of whieh tho least
"ousted stones, every stone of lv.
spannos compass aboiite," as it is put
by John Kay, Poet Laureate to onr
.cmwuru iv. it must iu> onservea,
liouovcr, Hint tlio Topjis wore nut
equal to the construction of theso
jjreat engines. Their merit lay in tho
conception and in the readiness to employ
foreigners. "Futhermore were
there called eounyn.V men in ninkvngo
of instruments of warrc, that is to say, i
hoiuhardcH, gownes, culverynes, ^ serpentines,
and such other. 1 hey^

that process may have heen
exactly.
Tho siege of Rhodes is one of tho
Inost glorious struggles on record, hut
>vo aro concerned only with the great
guns. They did all that could lie ex*
peetcd of them. So terrilie was tho
roar of the hoinhnrdinent that the in*'
leihitun 1 s of a town called Reode heard
it, as wo are assured, a hundred miles
to the eastward ; and the eoiictission
vas such that "grete pyles ami postes

information about the glove iudusy
of the Old World.
*A statement i? these reports impresses
no particularly with the largo proortion
of skins of animals other than
id used in the manufacture of what
ro popularly known aa "kid" gloves,
hcep, lamb, goat and colt skins seem
o furnish the bulk of the material used,
>ut according to gome reju.rts the ski
o tie sure, but the genuine kid skin
eems to form a very small proportion
if the material used in the nmnufnc,ure
of so-ealledkid gloves. At Prague,
tustria, sheep and lamb skins, and
practically nothing else are used in the
naunfocture of the 8,400,000 pairs of
{loves turned out there annually. In
[tussia nenrly all the fine gloves are
nado of colt skins, and large numbers
iro turned out. The dog skin gloves
?re said to be especially an English
production. At Seville, mostly skins
f young sheep aro used. In Franco,
generally, the materials chieHy cmployed
are sheep, goat and kill skins,
lint Consul Williams, writing from
Houen, adds: "Cat anil rabbit skins,
Rilmirahly colored, aro made to imitate
nil kinds of furs. Hat skins are used
chiefly for making thumbs of ordinary
gloves." Tho very best materia], tho |
reports state, is tho youngoRt kids, J

The preparations t?f the akin from
the time they leave the unfortunate
animals until they are Bewcd into gloves
in detailed by the various gentlemen
who have rendered thiH voluminous report
to the State Department. The
skins are usually obtained dry from the
farmers who raise these animals and
after being soaked in water and trodden
by men with naked feet until noftj
and pliable lime is added to loosen the
hair and after this work the process 06
softening and tanning the skins begins.
The refuse from sheep and cattle yards
and dog pounds is used in tanning the
skins, and the tread process with bare
feet goes on meantime. After the tanning
process is completed, which usually
takes weeks, the skins are treated to a
fulling bath of yolks of eggs, which
tins work seems to have a depressing
effect 011 the omelet industry of the
glove districts, for Consul Williams
humorously remarks, after calling attention
to the quantity of the yolks of
eggs used in this work, that this explains
why omelets generally look pale
at restaurants and hotels, for they are
made up of two whites and one yolk
and paid for as if mado with two complete
eggs. The skins, after being
tanned, are dyed to give them the
proper color, and the dyes are usually
of the best made from dye woods, as
the aniline dyes are not suitable lor
this purpose.
tl?et manufacture of the gloves
Kit-nv mkui is required, and only tlie
most ingenious, intelligent ami trained
men ure permitted to operate in i-lie
cutting of the gloves. The skins nr*i
carefully out up into small aectiona bj
hand, barely large enough to make oneway
as to inakc a i little wufttfe as possible
in cutting tko skins. These are
stretched to the proper shape before
the form of the glove is cut with the
die, a dozen or more being cut with
one movement of the cutting press.
The sewing is mostly done by machines,
though in some instanaes the gloves arc
sown by women nt their homer., where
they get about three cents a pair for
sewing four button gloves, and earn
about $'2.50 per week.
The fact that the gloves coming fron
Russia are made from foal skins is s?
little known that a brief extract from
Consul-Oencral Crawford's report on
this subject will be of interest. He
says: "The bulk of lino gloves made
in Russia are mado from foal skins.
There is very little dono in this country
in the manufacture of gloves from
sheep, goat and kid skins. In the
preparation of foal skins, it should be
said that they are of very difficult fabrication
and require much hard labor
to work them sufficiently soft and deli
pate. It is claimed that there is an art
ir, !?.. i. r '
... .hi. |iit-1>nrm mi oi ioni sums f.?r j
cloves that the Russian workmen have '
in very great perfection a.. . ...upureu
ivith foreigners. It is doubtful whether
for.l skins could bo prepared suOicicnty
cheap, where hand labor is dear, to
onipete with other skins on the gen ral
market. The experiment has been
ried in France, Belgium and (lerniany,
mt with very poor results, as the work
ngmen there nppcnr not to possess too
crseverance And endurance necessa.'v
0 their business. Foal skins, when
.ell dressed aro very durable, and ut
he same time, very delicate and have
great advantage in taking well nil
r>rts of dyes. The cost of the skin
roperly prepared, is not far from l?f?en
to seventeen cents per pair for
loves the ordinary size. Bern mints

lanufacturers of musical instruments,
