ST. ALBANS THE PORT.
Duties on Goods from Canada Atlantic
RORd Collected There

Collector of Customs Charles II. Oar
ling has returned from Washington,
where he went to confer with Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury James y. Rey-
nolds In regard to several departmental
matters. Among the questions taken up
was that Of the construction to be placed
on the order given to Judge Darling by
the treasury department with respect to
sealing cars and collecting duties at st.
Adams which have heretofore been COL
lected at Swanton
In discussing the matter Judge Darling
said: This question arose on the appi-
cation OF the Central Vermont and Grand
Trunk railways to the department to have
the duties on goods brought in over the
old Canada Atlantic collected at St. Al
bans instead of at Swanton. The depart
ment directed that cars containing dutia-
bic goods coming over the old Canada
Atlantic be sealed at Noyal Junction, =.
O. for st. Adams and that the duties be
collected at the latter place instead of at
Swanton.
THE people of Swanton were strong IN
the opinion that had placed too broad a
construction on the order and were very
much disturbed thereby. Wishing to pro-
tect the interests and feelings of the peo-
pie of that town. so far as the order would
| permit, | took up the question with the
department especially the construction
that had been placed on the order. and
was Informed that 1t was the intention of
the department that the order should be
given the construction that gave it,
| The people of Swanton, acting through
their board of trade, will ask the Vermont
delegation to use its influence with the
treasury department to procure recall
of the order. Swanton's interest in the
matter arises from the fact that the effect
of the order would be to lessen the import
ance of the town as a port of entry and
ultimately to reduce the number OF EN-
poyes in the customs office there.

and lastly. that everything should be in the
French style.
The establishment of a really rational standard
in the matter of furniture a slow affair. In
the midst of luxury the badest simplicity sur
vived. We read of Charles VI in a robe en-
brodered with fourteen hundred jewelled swal-
lows sitting on a wooden bench chair COW
cred with painted canvas. NJ ago is OF the
opinion that the wealthy people OF the four
teenth century spent their money on snowy lux
uries. and while apparelled in the richest gar
rnents were satisfied with decidedly uncomfort-
able chairs The influence of the Italian Renas-
sance, however, changed all this, and s the
native cabinetnakers eagerly adopted Southern
ideas, the fruits of their innate skill and taste
were quickly taken up by the Court and by the
mobiles everywhere.
NJ sagiio is candid on the subject of French
style in furniture. AS ii was developed through
the earlier centuries it did not spell original
ative genius but rather gift for the adapta-
tion and indeed, the transmogrifcation, of for
efgn motives This view of the question is well
supported in the series OF chapters traversing
the furniture Of the French Renaissance and
that of all the other historic periods down to the
time Of Napoleon. The author exercises perfect
ly in this part of his work his faculty for being
at once terse and luminous. He does not give
too much space to Du Cerceau or Hughes Sam
bin. but he contrfves, nevertheless. to make the
reader very well acquainted with the traits OF
those two brilliant types of sixteenth century
art in wood working He is similarly effective
in his pages on the seventeenth century before
the accession of Louis XIV, the work done in
that monarch's reign and the brilliant
achievements of the Regency and the periods of
Louis XIV and Louis XVI The eighteenth cen
tury marked extraordinary elimination In
French furniture as regards both design and ex-
ecution. The work of that period is indeed IDEAL

tive beauty in absolute unity and gives con-

church It is to be observed, too. that the early
huchiers cabinet makers. were distinguished
from ordinary carpenters, and followed an aus

their obligations and duties with rigid care M.
Saglio recaptulates them in this passage:
