Indian Professional Dyers.

The number of professional dyers
IN India is fast diminishing. Aniline
dyes and cheap European goods arc
Killing their trade. They are being
compelled to turn their attention to
new handicrafts, just as French
competition and the vagaries Of
fashion caused the ribbon makers
Of Coventry to seek a new livelihood
IN the emanufacture of bicycles. Ami
linz dyes have made every man his
own dyer. Formerly the compli-
Gated Processes by which indigenous
dyes were prepared made the dyer
specialist.
Nowadays anybody can dissolve
the chemical powders sent out froru
Europe and color his own clothes.
The aniline dyes are more brilliant,
and, to the native, they have the
superlative merit Of cheapness.
They are not SO fast, and they lack
s!aio ieiicacy OF color which, judging
by the specimens annexed to the
monograph, distinguish the Indian
dyes, but their gaudiness makes
them more popular and go the fate
Of the native dyer is sealed. Silk
dyeing, cotton dyeing, and carpet
dyeing are all declining. The fault.
it should be added, is to some extent
due to the conservatism of the ma
tive dyers themselves. They persist
unity adnere 10 their crude methods
of preparing their dyes, and show a
iamentable lack Of ingenuity in pre-
pairing new designs. Bengal Gov
