Brl^hcst Part of My Trip. j 1
The New York fashion correspondent of a i
Southern paper gives out the following :
A lady writes : " I have read your letters <
for a long time, and have often envied you
the opportunity you enjoy of seeing the beautiful
things you describe. I used to think,
when I read of those charming dresses and
parasols and hats at Lord & Taylor's, that
theirs must be one of those stores where a
timid, nervous woman like myself, having but
& 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
jh?rn tK... . 1 man tfny OTTteY"hrm
in New \ork, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, I determined, if I ever went to New
York, ? would go to Lord & Taylor's.
" '1 hat long-waitcd-for time came in the
early autumn, and I found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those wonderful
windows at either side. T summoned
iny 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
mv ease at once, and 1 felt as much at home
as 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 I
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."

MEDIEVAL GREAT GUNS.
XHB MARVELOUS HEAVY ORDNANOE
OF THE MIDDLE AGES. j
The Turks Made the First Great ImJ
provements in Artillery?The Most
!' Extraordinary of Cannon.
IT is almost startling at the present
day to recall that the first great
improvements in artillery were all
mado by the Turks, as indeed
iT^T
their supremacy in this branoh, remarks
tho jLondon Standard, even
more than the discipline and ferocity
of the JaniBsnrics, which canned thd
Ottoman Army to be thought invincible
for two centuries. The natural genius
of the race for war was well displayed
by the readiness with which they
grasped the importance of gunpowder,
ami the methodic way thoy set about
developing its capabilities. We look
on our own Artillery Company with
the reverence due to age; but it is al?
most modern compared with the TopjJ
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, there
fore, that the Topji ortas of that tiin?
were composed of native Moslems. The
a ii,i> of them with the Jauisi
occurr?il iu the early part
i Wi>,*kVoi. ineir strength
was (touliled presently,
i "Nowhere else in Europe had any
I'ower dreamed of employing such
force for the management of big guns
alone. Since the gunuers of the Janissary
force were transferred en masse
to the Sultan's new army, it is a fact,
however curious, that the Turkisl
artillery of the present day is the old
est military body in tho world. Wi
may wonder how many of its ofliecri
ore conscious of the distinction.
Enormous cannon are mentioned n
the siege of Constantinople. Hnvinj
been wise enough to see from tho be
ginning what a great port nrtiller;
taunt play in warfare, and havini
formed a body of men to cultivate thn
branch, the Sultans shortly perceive'
that the bigger they could mako thei
pieces the more effective they won!
be. Tho result startled Europo at th
siego^ of Rhodes, not becauso it was
noveiry men, out nccnuse ine story c
that gallant defence sent a thri
through Christendom. Whilo tli
Kings of Franco and England wer
priding themselves on popguns, bo t
speak, they heard that tho Turks ha
sixteen great "bombards," cneh twei
ty-two feet long, of which tho lea*
"o*stod stones, every stone of it
spanucs compass aboute," as it is pr
by John Kay, Poet Laureate to on
Edward IV. It must bo observed
however, that the Topjis were no
equal to tho construction of tlies
j;reat engines. Their merit lay in th
conception and in the readiness to em
ploy foreigners. "Futhermore wer
there called counynv men in niakvng
of instruments of warre, that is to say
bombardes, gownes, oulverynes, ser
pentines, and such other." Thej
ToPtunVi f
tinns, whether with designs of treacl
try seems doubtful; anyhow, ho wa
"d mpned to deth" after a whilewhatever
that process may have bee:
exactly.
Tho siege of Rhodes is one of t h
tnost glorious struggles 011 record, bu
wo aro concerned only with the gren
guns. They did all that could be es
pected of them. So terrific was til
roar of th*) bombardment that the ir
habitants of a town eullod Ttr>oih> br>or
it, ns we are assured, a hundred nnlt
to the eastward; and the concussio
was such that "grete pyles and post*
strong and myghty that were stykke
in the grondo behynde ntte tayle c
the aforesaydo grete bombardes, gav
biich a grete and myghty shakying tlic
the bouses of Rhodes otherwhyk
fhaked in such a wyse lykc iff hy
hiddo ben an yearthquake." As fo
the effect, it was just such as we rea
04 V>ot\aV>?Mi?lm ni mo^trtn ttmrt
The tortiticntionn crashed down, whol
streets fell, and the inhabitants had t
< live in their cellars.
Another novelty was the use c
bombs. They do not seem to hnv
been tired from the cannon. Th
"engine" which discharged them wn
r "sling." But wo are told that i
threw barrel* full of great stones int
air, whieli fell upon the houses, wreck
ing them entirely with gvent "mm
dor" among those within. It is no
easy to see why barrels full of stone
were employed instead of solid rockf
vnlesstliey exploded. The use of bomb
eiso reappears two hundred years a!
terwards, when Louis XVI. wished t
punish the Algerian Corsairs. Hi
Beet could do little; ho was not nr<
pared to land troops. In this perplei
jty a young man called Petit Benaut
hitherto a peaceful sailor, snggeste
the use of mortars to Colbert. Ha
that gtpat man been a soldier, doubt
b'HH ne would have paid no attentlor
J>eing also a civilian, however, he gav
Petit Kenand an audience, an
grasped the merit of his scheme. I
duo time Algiers was laid in ashes.
The most extraordinary great guT
on record, as we may boldly osser
are those described by Brydone, wliof
travels in Sicily and Malta won renow
w ell deserved towards the end of tb
last ccntnry. Many facts and stork
lie recounts that seem strangely oh
world to us, though the date is littl
more than a hundred years ago. S
grandly did the French Rcvolutio
transform Europe. Malta was full c
wondors more or les? droll while th
Knights held it. But nothin
equalled the gun stones, perhaps?i
may be as well to say that our Authoj
Jty in unimpeachable. Everybod
knows that the fortifications were cu
or the solid rock, hut Brydone wa
r;glit in saying that a "kind of ord
iniieo" used to defend them was "un
1 nown to all the world besides." A
we understand his description, th
Knights left a great block of ston
where they hollowed out an embra
f'ire in the cliff, which afterward
they shaped and bored in the form o
i. gigantic mortar. These engine
contained a whole barrel of gunpow
dev. That shoveled in, they stopimi
it with a great piece of wood, fittot

X hair and after this work tho process oi
e softening and tanning the skins begins.
The refuse from sheep and cattle yards
and dog pounds is used in tanning tho
" skins, and the tread process with bare
1 feet goes on meantime. After the tan^
a ning process is completed, which usually
takes weeks, tho skins are treated to d
p fulling both of yolks of oggs, which
i* this work seems to havo a depressing
effect on tho omelet industry of tlio
> glove districts, for Consul Williams
humorously remarks, after calling at?,
tention to tho quantity of tho yolks of
a eggs used in this work, that this exL
plains why omelets generally look pale
at restaurants and hotels, for they nrs
l8 made up of two whites and one yolk
> and paid for as if made with two complete
eggs. Tho skins, after being
tanned, are dyed to give them the
proper color, and tho dyes are usually
of tho best mado from dye woods, as
n tho aniline dyes are not suitable for
this purpose.
In the manufacture of tho gloves
0 great skill is required, and only the
> most ingenious, intelligent and trained
rt men are permitted to operate in the
cutting of the gloves. Tho skins are
a carefully cut up into small sections bj
hand, barely large enough to make onef
way as to make aif Utile wafife as p'oS-'
> sible in cutting tho skins. These are
stretched to tho proper shape before
3 tho form of the glove is cut with the
a die, a dozen or raoro being cut with
h one movement of tho cutting press.
I- Tho sewing is mostly done by machines,
though in some instanaes the gloves are
,r sown by women at their homes, where
they get about three cents a pnir for
sewing four button gloves, and corn
a about $2.50 per week.

n little known that a briof extract from
* ConHul-Ooncral Crawford's report on
0 this subject will be of interest. He
3 says: "The bulk of fine gloves made
in Russia are mado from fool skins,
k There is very little done in this conn?
try in the manufacture of gloves from
d sheep, goat and kid skins, in the
' preparation of foal skins, it should be
s said that they are of very difficult fal>rioation
and require much hard labor
0 to work them sufficiently soft and deli1
teate. It is claimed that there is an art
: in the preparation of foal skins for
f gloves that the Russian workmen have
] in very great perfection as compared
- with foreigners. It is doubtful whether
foal skins could be prepared sufficient,
ly cheap, where hand labor is dear, to
? compete with other skins on tho general
market. The experiment has been
tried in France, Belgium and Germany,
? but with very poor results, as tho work'
ingmen thero appear not to possess the
" perseverance and endurance necessary

of the material used in the manufacture
of so-called kid gloves. At Prague,
Austria, sheep and lamb skins, and
practically nothing else oro used in the
manufacture of the 8,400,000 pairs of
gloves turned out there annually. In
Russia nearly all the fine gloves are
made of colt skins, and large numbers
are turned out. The dog skin gloves
are said to be especially an English
production. At Seville, mostly skins
of young sheep aro used. In France,
generally, tho materials chiefly employed
are sheep, goat and kid skins,
but Consul Williams, writing from
Rouen, adds: "Cat and rabbit skins,
i admirably colored, aro made to imitate
all kinds of furs. Rat skins arc used
I chiefly for making thumbs of ordinary

mothers are killed to obtain tho skin
