Attitude of the Spinners.

c. W. McAra, president OF the
Master Cotton Spinners' Association
OF Great Britain says the spinners had
10 quarrel with American cotton plant
ers, had no desire to interfere with
their legitimate profits and had no OBJ
lection to the fluctuations brought
about by snail or large yield. As
a matter OF fact, the grower would be
well rewarded in an ordinary season
by a return Of cents per pound. By
gambling operations, however, the
price had been advanced for several
seasons to II cents per pound and
higher. which meant an advance on
the worlds crop OF $3.50, 900, 900. The
American spinner, Mr. McAra adds,
is as badly handicapped as the Europ-
can spinners, the cost OF the carriage
OF cotton to New England mills being
as great as the cost Of carriage BY sea
to Lancashire.

Glass Windows.

Glass windows are known to have
existed at Pompeii as early as a. D.
70. In the third century the windows
Of royal houses throughout Europe
were glazed. Windows Of colored glass
were placed In many French and ltal-
ian churches In 674, and the use OF
glass became general In private houses
during the twelfth century. The panes,
however, were only three OF four inches
square, and the material was SO tnfe-
rior that, while a room was lighted, It
was often matter Of some difficulty to
discern objects on the outside through
the glass. For long time windows in
England were a subject Of taxation.
