The Printed Calico B,lslness

The printed calico business for the
last six months has been anything but
satisfactory to the manufacturers. The
supply hau been excessive, and commits.
sion houses began to unload at figures
which soon produced generalization
of the market. This was aided by the
action Of leading retailers, who We'd

for nickel, and finally finer goods we're
effected and the elegant satines, which
eQualed the foreign makes of last year,
and were quick at % to 81 10 fell to
IL IL cents, or to rank of a nine. penny
calico. The day for making money by
printing Ga square cloth seems to have
passed; the: production is too large and
the competition too sharp to admit of
living profit, The consumer is begin
ming to find out that it is no economy to
buy five cent calico dress as it takes as
much time and labor to make it up as it
does stronger and better material. It
behoves the manufacturer, then, to
make and print better cloth. with fast
colors and texture firm enough to st md
at least II months exposure to sunlight
and washtub. The g. square cloth is a
relic of the Rebellion period, when
cheap fabrics were used because they
could be made at a low price. To-day
the cry is for something durable as well
as pretty, and although cotton printed
will be worn as long as there are women
to wear it, yet it will lie the prints that
makes the best goods that will pay the
best dividend. Lawns are growing less
in demand every year. Every summer
there is something that RACES. Last
year it was polka dots and this year 1t

Jones was always fancying there was
something the matter with him; so he

him thu he had kdneydisease, and tina t

advice, but found himself no better.
He went to another doctor, and, after

must avoid all kinds of fresh meats also.
This did notslo him any good, as he
thought, and Esent to another doctor,
who highly apprSssd ofthe advice which

Rigitlity Of Court Etiquette.

The court etiquette, observes Lon
don correspondent, has grown more
rigid and inflexible during these months
Embarrassing morbidness. and soon, it is
feared, the queen will be as far removed
from her people as Chinese emperor.
She carries out her willful insistence
uponetiquette in every least detail, and
even when it concerns only her own
children and grandchildren. When the
Princess Louise returned from Canada,
and arrived at Windsor, she was kept
waiting until she had changed her attire
and until the queen had sent word she
was prepared to receive her. 1t is re-.
ported that the princess entered the
drawing room in the evening to await
dinner, dressed in most lovely Grim
hoafto match. The queen happened to
you know that colored stockings are not
permitted in my presence? Go to your
room at once and change your stockings"
And so the poor princess came down to
dinner in a crimson velvet dress,
wearing white stockings! No one
of the royal children ever
visits the queen except by special and
formal invitation. Her majesty ap-
points The hour for her own children to
come and for them to go. One can inn
agine the unnaturalness of such a house
hold. The Prince Consort was stately,
but he was 8 genial happy, mirth- Loving
gentleman. HIS was most atfectionate
husband and father, and no royal Ell
quette ever stood in the way Of his fine
German heartiness. Since his death his
children have had no parental
companionship, and they are as far re-
moved from the queen as though they
had not been born of her. 1t is we'll
known that the prince of Wales has very
great influence with his mother, and is
personally deeply attached to her. He
was q constant companion of his father;
and he quite remembers how his father
managed the queen in the old days.
The prince is said to be most charming
in his relations to his mother, and is al.
ways upon his most beautiful manners
in her presence. He at times does ap.
proach her with great affection, and
even tenderness of feeling and demon
9tration.
