Ipsoluble Azo Colors.

The use Of the insoluble azo colors,
which are produced when an anime
is diazotized and combined with naph-
thol, is said to have been patented in
France for producing designs on textile
fbers by printing, the method adopted
being the same,as is now used in print
ing with the mineral colors. As an
example the production of red is in
stanced, this being obtained by printing
on color made with 400 grams water,
100 grams of the color lake made from
para-nitranilins and betanaphthol, 80
grams gum water, 40 grams albumen
liquor, one in one, and 20 grams neu-
trail chromate of soda. On the printing
process being accomplished the goods
are dried and steamed and then passed
into a bath containing 90 grams oxalic
acid and 80 grams sulphuric acid in
each liter, the tissues being afterward
we'll washed in water. New York Sun.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
AMOUNT IN THE TREASURY RE,
DUCED $26, 100000

Should Congress Fail to Provide Within .
Few Weeks Some Method OF Relief
Secretary Carlisle VIII he Forced to
Issue Bonds Necessary to Replenish the
National Finances.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Some decisive
action to replenish the gold reserve in
the treasury will be taken up within
the next few weeks. If congress does
not take kindly to the suggestions Of
fered by Secretary Carlisle in his an
nual report, and provide at once some
method Of relief, the only course left
the officials of the treasury department
will be for the secretary to use the au-
thority given him by the law of 1875
and issue bonds for the purpose of
maintaining the gold reserve.
The policy which confronts the adj
ministration is one they have decided
to handle with promptness. All the
available money now in the treasury
department consists of the socalled
"gold reserve" which has now been IN
vaded $26, 100000 and by the first of the
month the treasury department believes
reduced to SOS, 100000. Such situa.
ton, it is thought, would again start a
movement OF gold towards Europe
which would still reduce the amount of
gold held by the United States.
Secretary Carlisle has twice appeared
before the committee on finance and
his presentation of the case to the
members of that committee has been
clear and explicit in his statement of
the situation. When he next appears
before the committee it is probable
that he will emphasize his argument
by the presentation of q carefully pre-
pared statement of the condition in
which he finds the national finances, as
well as the methods proposed by him
to afford relief. Mr.. Carlisle prefers
that congress should deal with this
matter, but if the national legislature
fails within three or four weeks to
show any indications that it intends to
AID the secretary of the treasury it is
known that he will be forced to avail
himself of the authority granted him
by the act of 1875 and issue bonds
necessary to replenish the gold re-
serve.
1t is because Mr.. Carlisle desires that
congress should first act that he has
thus far made no preparation for an
issuance of bonds and all statements to
the effect that orders have been given
the bureau of engraving and printing
for plates, etc., are pure fabrication
Absolutely no action has been taken
and no definite plans decided on.
This much can be officially stated
that the attitude of the New York
bankers as expressed In recent publica-
tions in regard to the furnishing of gold
for export, should such necessity
arise, has possibly had some effect in
strengthening feeling that the gov
eminent should issue bonds to protect
the gold reserve. 1t Is denied, however,
that any agreement ever existed by
which the banks were to furnish gold.

Bastanasi's Capture.

The notorious Corsican bandit, Bas-
tanasi, was man of considerable cru
dition, had been educated at Pisa, knew
Latin and had belonged to the medica
profession. On one occasion he was
going to Sartene on vessel which
stopped at Ajaccio. Knowing that the
gendarmes were after him, he did not
attempt to land, but as he had fine
voice and could also play the guitar to
beguile the time of waiting he got out
his instrument and began to sing and
play. 4 fisherman in the port recog-
nized the voice and likewise remem-
bered the song. He went and informed
the authorities, and it was thus through
his love of music that Bastanasi was
arrested. II saw him land, says M.
Lewis. 1.-The handouts were on his
wrists, and the guitar was slung round
his neck. "-Contemporary Review.

though their purchases have been,
they have taken no more than their
customers will want during the first
and more active half of the season,
and, assuming that, it may be allow
able to hope for fair renewal of
demand during the latter period of
the season. Wholesale dealers,
however, are making conservative
estimates upon this late demand,
and are pursuing tentative course
in their contracts with the manu-
facturers. They are likely to fol-
low like policy in respect to orders
for the next seasons business,
which is no more than would be
dictated by sound business policy.
Indeed there is nowhere any dis
position to discount the future from
the standpoint of sanguine expecta-
tions. A continued gradual recoy-
cry of business through 1895 is
counted upon, but no early "boom'

ports of merchandise show large
increase, being the last week of
September $10,2O0,0O0, against
Sc, 20O,O00 for the same time in

partly the effect of the revival of
business and partly reaction from
the holding back of goods in aatic-
