number of years A general advance in
the prices of domestic shas been an

firm, with an upward tendency and
there is good call for this merchandise
at the higher prices. There has also
been strengthening of prices print
cloths and on some lines of ginghams.
Statesmen have gone out during the
week to book orders for spring bust
ness ginghams. knit underwear.
muslin underwear. gloves. hosiery, and
linens. Hosiery cannot be imported in
the same quantities and qualities as
were possible two years ago on account
| of the increased cost of materials and
| labor in Europe.
''The advance in the cost of material
] and labor entering into kid gloves for
spring will offset any reduction that
has yet been contemplated in tarifr
schedules. Still further increase is
probable in the cost of skins"

Nations as to Lost Arts.p
u W1

Current tradition credits the ancients
with many "lost arts, It is still com.
mon to hear people say that means
unknown to us must have been EN-.
ploSed to erect the pyramids, that the
Damascus blade is beyond the power
of modern cutters and that the art of
hardening copper died with some little
brown Aatac.
In point OF fact, larger stones than
any found in the pyramids have been
quarried III Maine, carried across the
sea and erected in buildings in Eng
land and France. II any one cared to
pay the cost there are plenty of con-
tractors who would build a replica of
the. largest pyramid and would not
take so very long about 1t.
1t is doubtful whether Damascus
blade" will stand as much as good
modern hand saw or the spring Of a
cheap clock.
Copper can be hardened by modern
methods to equal any specimen that
has been left to US by the ancients.
Many arts that are supposed to be lost
are simply abandoned because there
is no modern need OF cultivating them,
and others are not even abandoned,
but employed every day and improved
upon.-New York Tribune.
