Fifty Years Ago and Now.

The Danbury NelCs gives some STA
tistics by way of comparison, which are
not only interesting but suggestive.
1t saws: Fifty years ago calico was
% cents per yard, now5 cents; broad
cloth from - to So a yard; Kentucky
jeans 70 cents, now %, and about as
cheap then as now. Then the women
spun the yarn and wove the cloth; then
it went to the carding machine, was
pulled, colored, made ready to make
into clothes, the tailor cut the garments
and the seamstress made the clothes
and had from % to 80 cents day and
worked from twelve to fourteen hours
each day. The farmers did not go to
the stores and get ready-made clothing;
they believed in home manufactures.
Fifty years ago one could have a
decent burial for 50, now $50 is very
cheap; then a coffin would cost So; few
but paupers use collins now; then cas-
kets were not in fashion; then people
thought God was no respecter of per-
sons, apparently they think He will re-
spect the coffin now, especially if a cost
ly monument mark the grave. These
few items suggest the thought that
some one rules. IT is not cotton, neither
is it corn; it is some one from over
the sea, and its name is Fashion, and
1T rules with q ROD of iron"

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from fibrous matter
reduced to pulp. Now each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The
young bamboo is whitened, reduced to
pulp in a mortar, and sized with alum.
From this pulp sheets of paper are
made in mold by hand. The cele-
brated Chinese rice paper, that so re-
sembles wooden and silk fabrics, and
on which are painted quaint birds and
flowers, is manufactured from COM
pressed pith, which is first cut spirally
by a keen knife into thin slices six
inches wide and twice as long. Funer-
