HOW Kla elare. are naas

Gloves have been in use from very
early times, being mentioned by such
ancient writer's as Homer and Zenophen.
During the middle ages they we're worn
by certain officials as a mark Of dignity.
But as civilization advanced they gradu.
ally became common to all classes OF the
community. Ia the early part Of this
century there was ne positive regularity
in the cut aud shape of kid gloves, all be-
ing left to the judgment ofths cutter, who
had no.systematic pattern. In 1884 "a
vier Jouyin invented a new method Of
cutting out the kid, doing il with geomet-
rical precision. His system is extremely
elaborate, having thirty.two sizes, cutting
ten widths to each size, in all making
thitty.two different numbers. Since then
other manufacturers have made numer-
Gus improvements in shape, finish and
stitching, and now the best makes have
almost reached perfection, and merit the
growing demand, which is such that the
price of skins have advanced fifty per
cent, in the last fifteen years. The value
of those manufactured in France is esti-
mated at $4,000, 900 francs, and there are
large quantities made in Italy, Germany
aud England, and a comparative small
amount in this country, at Gloversville
and New York City.
AS the sewing Of a single pair Of ladies
kid gloves requires 5000 stitches, for
which the continental manufacturers pay
about ten cents, i can readily be seen
that this industry cannot be carried on
extensively in this country. The seams
are sewed with perfect regularity by
placing the edges to be united in the
Jaws of a wise which terminate in fine
brass teeth like those Of a comb, but only
one twelfth of an insh long, the stitches
being held by q knot to prevent ripping,
which used to be a frequent source OF
trouble. 1t is necessary that the animal
should be killed young, because as soon
as it begins to feed on heritage its skin
is impaired for this purpose. Eggs ale
very extensively used in preparing the
skins-it ia estimated that 60. 600, 900 are
annually used in England and France
alone. la coloring the kids dye is sp
piled to the outer skin with a brush by
hand; if the skins we're immersed the in
ner portion would also receive the dye
and stain the hand.
France excels all in the variety and
richDess of her %colCrs, which is attributed
TO atmosphere and water-producing 200
different shades. Ladies sizes run from
81 TO 8; gents from u to IL; misses
from 4 to 81 Gents are longer in the
fingers and higher in the wrist than those
of ladies' of like number, though they are
in width, and the misses gloves are
narrower.

rived for Russia to act independently.
A dispatch from KischeneG, dated

by the ear at Tiraspol yesterday his

The river Danube has figured largely
in history for 1000 years, and it again
becomes the object to which the eyes Of
the world are turned. 1t furnished a high
way for the Turks in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries to penetrate Eu-
rope as far as Vienna, and in the days of
the crusades it became an outlet for the
religious enthusiasm of Europe to flow to
the Holy Land. The Danube, from its
sources in Baden to the Black Sea, is
1920 miles long, and lit drains, with its
tributaries, an area of over 800, 900
square miles. 1t passes through Bavaria,
Austria, Hungary, forms the boundary
between Hungary and Servia to the Ger
pathean mountains, where it separates
Roumaois and Bulgaria, aud passes into
the Black sea through several mouths,
the principal one being that Of Salina.
The Danube is navigable for steamers as
far as Ulm, in Bavaria. At Nicopolis,
in the fourteenth century, 100000 Chris
tiass were driven by the Turks into the
Danube, and 10 the fifteenth century
10000 Turks were slain on its shores at
the siege Of Belgrade.
