The discussion over the New England
cotton situation, opened afresh by the an

by the Fall River mills. is naturally
warm and good deal OF 1t, IL may be
said, ilies wide OF the mark OF the real
cause Of the trouble.
Stripped of oil fanciful theories Of
South competing against the North, of
hopeless market. and al the variations of
the same argument that are developed
when mon fall to talking earnestly about
a subject, the cne glaring fact is that
there are altogether too many spindles In
this country for the business just now In

to be- like accounting for the loss OF a
party in election by the statement that
the other fellow had the most votes. But
tho fact OF the increase OF spindles Is
plainly an attempted development OF an
industry against all reasonable business

JAPANESE DESIGNS.
Largely the Result Of Their Methods OF
Teaching Drawing.

Largely the Result of Their Methods OF
Teaching Drawing.
The question is often asked Where do
the Japanese get the ideas from which to
produce the weird and fantastic designs
so often seen in their work." Numerous
efforts have been made 10 answer this
question, and the japanese have heen al
ternately lauded for the beauty of their
work and condemned for It's crudencss.
1t would appear that the system by which
the japanese are taught designing is
largely responsible for the character OF
their work. There is no race Of people on
the face Of the earth, with the possible ex-
ception of tho Chinese. who are moro
painstaking or skillful In the work which
they perform.
The japanese student who is taught
drawing is given small book in which
arc designs printed i'm small squares, and
these he reproduces square by square un-
til he has grGsped the salient features OF
each. He is then sent out into the open
country and told TO observe the works OF
nature spread out before him in all their
luxurance
Finding some suitable object for his at
tention, he proceeds to reproduce the
same, introducing perhaps some imagina-
tive details. 1t is right here that the sys-
tenn OF squares comes in. Those elegant
sters, those feathory petals which are ap-
parently thrown together without re-
straint, are simply the particular feature
of the mass of vegetation which he has Sc
lected for this individual study. His long
course of study in this line has given him
the faculty Of following n single vine
through tangled undorhrush and ignoring
all the rest OF the growth The tortuous
course Of this one vine when brought out
by his ready brush appears to the western
art critic as crude and without merit,
whereas in reality it is catchy and full Of
interest.
The wonderful facility of the Japanese
in the production of works of art, in the
execution, the beauty OF oolorings and the
delicacy Of their drawings, is well known.
While artists claim the designs of the Jap
ancse, II critically examined, will be found
incorrect in form, proportion and con-
struction, these same critics freely concede
that in the failings mentioned are found
the very highest merits of the japanese as
decorative artists.
Decorative art does not admit Of abso-
Lutte fidelity to nature. Slavish copyists
lack imagination, without which they can
never be true decorative artists. The very
science Of the art Is the power TO convon-
tionalizo nature while preserving the spirit
and following all the objects represented,
and this is where tho Japanese oxcel, as,
gifted with IA wonderful quiekness of per-
ception and delicacy OF hand, they seize
upon and reproduce with extraordinary
rapidity and power ol touch the character
istics OF natural objects. -Upholstercr.
