OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

Time and again the attention OF the
American shippers has been called TO the
demands OF the foreign trade and the ne
cessities for packing goods as the custom
ers want them. but 1t seems that all such
appeals have been without effect
NO lesson could be better impressed
upon our manufacturers than the expe-
rience of the city of Manchester. the great
manufacturing mart of England, which re-
Gently sent a commission to Germany. This
commission found that the Germans are
fast taking the cream OF England's trade
through the superior intelligence aud skill
not only Of their educated artisans, but IN
consequence Of the laborious pains with
which every article sent out from Germany
to foreign parts Ia packed, so as to meet
tho foreign demand as to shape OF prepare
tion, etc.
We make the best goods on earth In
America. but we are so Indifferent as to
their preparation for the markets for which
they are designed that the German and
English wares everywhere get In ahead of
ours. We should have commercial travel
ers In all the South American countries
who are capable Of studying the conditions
there and Intelligent enough to suggest tho
style OF packing exportc to meet the ne
culiar fancies OF the customers to be eulti.

The organization OF the Trades league AT

When Americans display the Same intel.

Seneoa's Medal,

In the possession Of the Red Jacket
Club of Canandaigua is a medal which,
the members of the club believe, was
given 10 the famous Seneca chief by
George Washington. Other folks have
frequently questioned the authenticity
Of this relic, much to the Indignation
Of the Canandaiguans, who assert tina,
Its claims to respect are beyond doubt
Medals almost exact duplicates Of Red
Jackets, they admit were presented
to other Indians Of note about the time
when Red Jacket received his, but this
one is distinguished from all the rest
because on Its reverse there are four
teen stars instead Of fifteen, and re-
mained in the hands Of single family
from the time OF the chiefs death until
1t became the property Of Its present
owners.

The Lordly Fi0orwalker and His Duties,

In an article in Scribner telling how
great department. store is conducted
Samuel Hopkins says: The floor
walker, sometimes called an "usher"
(either name is equally inadequate as
descriptive OF his duties) gets from S15
to $40 week, and he earns It fully.
What the buyer is to the inner man
agement Of the store he is TO the out
er. To the public he is nothing more
than politely convenient living di-
rectory, who knows promptly that the
ribbon sale is seven counters down to
the left, and that carpet-sveepers may
be found at the end OF the middle
aisle on the third floor. Such matters
as these are the simplest Of his duties.
To keep his salespeople mp to the
standard In dress, department, and
activity; to be polite to everybody
to stand as buffer between the sales
people and the wrath of those who
have grievances against the store for
goods missent or other mistakes made |;
to see that tho rules are obeyed; in
short to be the arbiter OF conduct
and store etiquette; these are enough
to guard him against ennui. Under a
combination Of q farseeing, shrewd
buyer, and courteous, hardworking
''aisle manager" as he prefers to be
called, with knack of managing peo.
pie, any department. will more than
pay it's share Of the expenses OF the
establishment.

INVITATIONS THAT TEMPT.

Women with an inborn taste for
beautiful things, but with no extern
sive means Of gratifying it, are this
season more than ever tempted by q
brilliant display of inferior limitations
of very many of the splendid fabrics
and garnitures now the rage-spangled
decorations, velvets, furs, ribbons,
fancy iewelry, jet, feathers, etc. Sim.
pie articles of wear that are genuine
are always fur better choice than
elaborate limitations Of the richest. A
meretricious style never commends
admiration, and inferior goods quickly
betray their quality. Best material
with longer wear is the safest rule for
those who have not been overblessed
by fortune. But, while holding out a
warning against the purchase of sec
ond-rate materials, it Is not to be un-
derstood that there are no valuable
and beautiful fabrics and trimmings
that are not high-priced. Never has
there been ON age or year in history
where so much that is genuine and
really desirable could be purchased at
so low price as now. 1t is in the
choice and opportunity presented for
choice for real valuable textiles that is
the secret and point of this matter. 1t
is not necessary for the woman of
modest means, who loves, for instance,
dainty laces, to select poor imita-
tion of real handmade design. The
stores everywhere provide her with
beautiful "fancy" laces that initiate
nothing, but appear upon their own
charming, attractive merits, laces pro-
duced by almost miraculous intricate
machine processes-dellcate of pat.
tern, dainty as cobweb, and beauti.

FEATHER AND FLOWER HATS.

At some of the leading millinery
shops, says Harpe-'s Bazaar, are still to
be seen hats and bonnets made entire
ly of flowers. This, of course, is not
new style, but the shape is different
from that used for the last few months.
Violets are the flowers generally
employed, and in spite ofstheir be-
ing called flower hats, there ARE knots
of velvet twisted in and out among the
flowers. These hats are in toque shapes
or in big fat hats. Much newer are
the hats composed entirely of feathers.
These are made in turban shape, and
one of feathers OF the green parrot is
very soft and effective. Another is of
grebe-skin, which is SO fashionable
with seal-skin fur this winter. For
tunately these hats present too serious
a disadvantage to make them univer.
sally popular-the feathers are rarely
becoming against the hair and skin,
80 that there is not much danger that
the poor birds will be slaughtered to

FASHION NOTES.

To insure warmth silk petticoats are
being lined with lightweight flannel.
This is an exceedingly sensible fash
ion.
Wraps of black velvet are lined with
brocaie, embroidered with jet and fin
ished with q collar of white or gray
fur.
By far the prettiest glove to wear
with black jacket is Of black dressed
kid, with three stripes of heavy white
silk stitching.
Entire costumes of brown velveteen
have vests of yellow broadcloth, satin
or cloth of gold, with additional trim
ming of marten, mink or sable.
The fashionable fan is veritable
toy. it is 80 small The empire is the
approved style in the tiniest size, and
it is more beautifully ornamented than
ever.
A blouse bodice of black velvet, COW
cred back and front with lattice
trimming OF gold cord, and turquoise
beads set in at intervals, so that there
is bead at each crossing, Is very
effective with wide corselet belt Of
black satin, black satin collar, and
plain sleeves of velvet with a small
puff at the top. "'iSS 80
