Valuable GIFT Of Prints.

At recent meeting of the New
York public library a letter was re-
ceived from James u. Smillie announc-
ing the gift of collection of 923 prints,
for the department of prints. These
are from steel engravings, and 62s OF
them are by the donors father. the
late James Smillie, extending from
1925 down to the close of his life, in
1885. James Smillie was famous
engraver in his day, and his work in
cludes such subjects as Thomas Coles
Voyage of Life" and A. Bierstadt's
Rocky Mountains"
The prints in the collection are es-
pecially valuable, being 'engraver's
proofs" of which only two or three
are struck off from the finished plate
just before it is turned over to the
publisher. There are also full sets OF
working proofs, showing the evolution
of an engraved plate. Besides the
work of Smillie, the collection includes
engravings by about 20 of his contem
poraries.

EXPORTING TIN PLATE.
American Manufaetueess Making
Rapid tssins ~ Thsif Attempt to
Enter FOREIGN Markets.

American manufacturers of tin
plate are making rapid gains in their
attempt to enter the foreign markets
of the world. To be sure, their ex-
ports are yet small as compared with
the domestic demand which they are
meeting, but they are again reducing
the imports, which temporarily in
creased in 1900 under the excessive
demand and extremely high price of
materials, and are at the same time
increasing their exports in a man
ner which proves interesting to those
who have watched the development of
this comparatively new industry in
the United States. The figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics show
that the exports of tin plates from the
United States, which in the ten
months ending with April, 1899,
amounted to only 1s3,955 pounds, and
in the ten months ending with April,
1900, to 275,99O pounds, were, in the
ten months ending with April, 1901,
1.3O6,1OO pounds. In imports of tin
plates the figures for the ten months
show a material decrease as compared
with the quantity imported during the
same period Of the preceding fscal
year.. being 9s,6O9,722 pounds, as com
pared with 1873, 3,59s,773 pounds for the
ten months period of last year.
Our total expectations of tin plate
in the fiscal year 1901 seem likely tc
be from eight to ten times those OF
1899, while the importations of tir
plates into the United States promise
to be little more than one-tenth those
of 1891, the year of the largest i'm
poration of tin plates into the United
States, and but about one-fifth of the
average annual importation during
the five years prior to the establish
ment of the tin plate industry in tn,
United States.

GORGEOUS COSTUME.
Picturesque Garment Worn by United
states Consul to Porto Rico in
1s29-'35 Now on Exhibition.

When the United States government
sent Sidney Mason as consul to Porto
Rico in 1s29-'35, he cut a pretty fig-
ure, quite in contrast with Americans
in the island at the present time, for
he was clad in an imposing coat of
blue broadcloth, cutaway, and
trimmed in brass buttons, with gold
embroidered cuffs and collar. With
this coat he wore an embroidered
waistcoat and cooked hat, consid-
erably furnished with rosettes and
other adornments, while his trousers,
or perhaps breeches in that day and
time, were of white broadcloth, made
to fit, fastened under the foot with a
strap, and with gorgeous gold bands
down the outer seams. A sword
swung at his side with uniquely
wrought hilt of amber and gold. This
costume is now in the National mu-
scum, where it has just been sent by
the heirs of the Myers and Mason fam
lilies.
Along with the costume, which in
view of our present connection with
Porto Rico is attracting great deal
of attention, is a wonderfully beauti.
full collection of toilet articles, family
jewels, rare laces, and exquisite EN-.
broideries worn by members of these
| illustrious families; the sword used
by Maj. Myers during the continental
army; the sword of his son, Col
Theodorus Bailey Myers, worn during
the civil war, and that of his grand
son, Theodorus Bailey Mason. lieu

two more, one at the mouth and
