A POPULAR YANKEE NOTION.
American Printed Novelties Which
Defy European Imitation.


Defy European Imitation.
New York Herald.
In the days when American
shipping was in the zenith, some
forty or fifty years ago, what were
known as "Yankee notions" were
well known and famous the world
over.
American novelties are still ex-
ported from this country, but not
to the extent of former years. The
method is nowadays, since the
United States has lost its shipping,
for foreigners, Belgians and Ger
mans in particular, to seize upon
samples Of American knicknacks,
take them home, make cheap imi-
tatioDs and scatter them through
out the world as of American man
ufacture.
In one article patented recently
American manufactures again go
to the front. These are printed
goods known as "tOy figures
which have gained great pOpulari-
ty. They are the work Of a calico
printer and represents cats, dogs,
owls, rabbits "pickannies," "Little
Red Riding Hoods" and other ar
ticles of such nature.
These are printed upon cotton
cloth so arranged that " hen the
patterns ale cut out ,sewed together
and stuffed they assume a most
natural and life like appearance.
Thousands of them are i'm use
in the nu series Of the country,
and little kittens and puppy dogs
have even been made to serve the
purpose of tobacco bags by large
manufacturers.
The odd feature about these tri-
fles, however, is the fact that they
are largely exported in their un
finished state to England, Ger
many and other European cOun.
tries. Attempts have been made
by the foreign calico printers to re
produce the patterns, but, oddly
enough in view Of the high art il
printing attained abroad, the re
suits have been dismal failures.
And so foreign toy dealers anC
European exporters of novelties
have rpsOrted to the American mar
ket. This is deemed all the more
peculiar to our dry goods mer
chants in view of the fact that tn,
expectation of American prints tC
Europe is something heretofOr,
unheard of.

Final Touch in Dressmaking.

From the Roseleaf
"NeXt to neatly finished details,
remarked the famous dressmaker,
"there is nothing that distin-
guishes amateur work from pro-
fessional more than the pressing.
Most people only press their goods
when they consider that certain
portions or seams require it,
whereas the tailor holds his goose
as of as much Importance as his
shears or needle, and shapes his
garment with a sponge and hot
iron-quite as much with the
former as the latter. This is par
ticularly applicable to cloth
garments" Any one who is am
bilious of having good work done
in her house by her seamstress
should have the proper appliances.

Reformed by a Hymn.

New York Herald.
Flanagan received shock the
other night 1t was long after one
o'clock, and the "ColOnel" and a
galaxy of alcoholic friends were
singing marguerite" in the back
room. The singing was little
bit worse than the whisky which
inspired it. Flanagan sampled
the whisky to see whether it would
sing marguerite" to him.
Suddenly there reeled into the
bar from the outer darkness an in
ebriated individual who observed
thickly:
"Gimme er Martini cocktail"
Flanagan measured out the in
gradients, mechanically keeping
mp a sort of rythm with the sing
ing in the middle distance. AS he
set the cocktail before the rowing
ewes of the customer there fell a
beneficent silence. "Marguerite"
was being banished from the
Threats of the singers by some
thing more emollient. The last
gurgle, however, had barely merged
into its resultant smack Of the lip
when the Colonel struck up the
familiar strain of "Nearer My God,
to Thee"
Bass and tenor took up the mel
ody and rolled it back and forth,
with stirring effect.
Then Flanagan observed a mar
vellous change in the inebriated
customer. He had stiffened up and
was peering around uncertainty, as
if to ascertain the origin of the
music.
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer my God to Thee,
swelled the sacred chorus.
The man dropped his head and a
couple Of big tears rolled over his
flushed cheeks. He pushed the
cocktail back toward Flanagan
and said hoarsely:-
"Thish don't go! Gimme some
seltcher an lemon
Flanagan was too astOnished to
object and handed out the seltzer
and lemon without a word. The
man took it in gulp and rushed out
of the place, with the warning
notes of the hymn tune ringing in
his eaes like a funeral march.
This little experience has had
such a quelling effect on Flanna-
gan that he is trying to lead bet
ter life.
