"IN palutings are all of the uniform beight of twelve feet, and vary in width from seventeen to thirty-sit fect.

The flannel night wranper i3 a most useful garment for a chiid to wear when ill, or when Dbeing carried irom room to room, or taken up from 2 warm bad at night; it is not intended for constant wear at Lizht over 3 night-goswn, but for vecasions of unusua! exposure to cold. Itis of simple sacque shape, with no seams except those under the arms, which are slightly sloped, and the shoulder scams. 1i is buttoned down the entire front, and should be lonz enough to cover the child from throat to foot. 1t is made of any of the pretuy striped or plaid flanuels, or it oy be of plain white, pink, or blue flannel. To make it thoroughly warm it should-be linad throughout with white flannel of lignt quality. It may be made as a double wrapper without raw seams, thoueh this is ot necessary, as the seams do not come in contact with the child’s flesh. It bas a turned-over coliar, and cuffs that are rolled back from the wrist, being merely the cnds of the sleeves turned up. A row of feather stitching doue in white silk is the prettiest trimming on_ the collar and cuffs; it should also extend down each side of the front. Some thick soft white flaunel wrappers are prettily edred with 2 bind- ing of bluc or of crimson silk braid; others of blze and white atternate stripes are wrousht on h wool in points-or scallops. t-drawers Wwith stockings are cs- pecially valuable as a night-dress, 85 jt is im- portant that when sleeping the child’s whole frame should be covercd uniformly, and this garment covers it from the chin to the soles of the feet. The less are exteaded in shape like stockings to protect the feet when the child thrusts them out fromn beneath the cover. Can- ton flannel with heavy ficece is the material used for the night-drawers. Yhe fronts are cat in princesse shape, with body und legs in one picee. There is also but one seam in each teg ot the drawers, as the back part Is cut with the, aud after a slit is cut down each side from the waist ling, the top of the back is gathered to a band. The back of the waist Is closed by fonr or five buttons, and the band of the back of the lower part has three button-holes in it, by which it is attached Lo three buttons on the lower cdge of the waist. Plain directions for joluing togethor the pieces to form the stockings are given in the descriptions of the pattern. The openings o the sides of the drawers are widely faced, and usually a button ond hole is put palf way down this slit. ‘The seams of this garment are next to the child’s tender flesh, and should be made flat und smooth, and either felled down or else covered with tape stitched on by machine, The day-drawers wigh walst have an easily- fitted straight waist wi¥h.armholes or shoulder- straps. This waist is quite separate from the drawers, as it does not need to be changed so frequently, and is made of Canton flaugel for wiuter, of ol strong muslin or efse linen for summer drawers. The neck and armboles have a bias muslin binding stitched on by machine, while the lower cdge bas a strong facing of biag wwilled mushn an inch or more in width. A button is set on tafs facing on each of the un- der-arm_gcams, a third is dircetly in front, and the fourth button will be the lowest one of the row which closes the back of the waist. The drawers are made of the sume materfal as the waist, and must be quite short, as they are not now allowed to_appear below the cdge of the child’s dress. The legs are wide, und may be tucked, ruflled, pr embroidered. ) The princesse petticoat has the long waist sloped over the hips to keep the buiky gather- ing of the flannel or muslin skirt from spoiling the tavering natural waist. The skirt is cut straight across the goods. ‘The waist is provided with side forms _in_front and back, and closely buttoued bebind. Yurd-wide musiins arc com- mended for these parments. ‘Lhe pattern of this waist may be uscd for the drliling waists of kilt dressez worn by boys not yet in trousers. The Erench apron is a pretty little sarment that has come into faver again since dark wool dresses have been revived for little girls, 1t is low and ronnd in the neck, has short sleeves that are little more than “caps " or epuulets, as they are sloped to the end before they fitl the srmhole, and the whole n{:mn is merely a full sacque. It is necessary to bave this little gar- ment quite full around the fizure, hence the neck is supplied with a drawlog-string. The apron is long eoough to reach within an inch or two of the Lottom of the dress skirt. “These little aprons .are imported in nice sheer Frenck nansooks, solt cambric, thin Irish lineo, and the gray and drab linens also. The wost dressy ones bave a hem und a cluster of tucks around the bottom, while the neck and slegves are finished with a tiny frill edged with Valencicunes or thread edging. Sometimes, in- stead of a drawing-string, a tiny band is stitched on the outside, and ‘this band is wrouzht in brier-stitch or in tiny dots. Still others ot linen, either white or gmray, have a nccdle- worled scallop, dots, or noteiied edees around the neck and sleeves, A deep Spunish flounce, also needle-worked, is cdded to the bottom of others. All these im))uned aprons have the scams neatly felled. _Very pretty ones are sold for 50 centa at the French lingerie establish- ments. These white aprons over dark red or blue wool dresses make up 4 quaint and effect- ive litt1@oilette for the house, aud are also most useful 1 keeping the dress clean. An- othier easy way to make tuese full aprous, and still simpler than this pattern, is totakea breadth of yard-wide cambric of the proper lenzth, cut out armholes, and trim them with a frill of muslin ruffing; then face the neck fora drawing-string, and, when drawn up, the neck e frill to match those n the armboles. aighit fuiluess of this apron adds to its pretty appearance. FOR BRIDES ONLY. Frank Leslie's Lady's Journal. The materials for bridal robes this season are remarkably elegant. Extremists in fashion select brocades—satin brocade for brides over 20 years of age, and silk brocade for younger brides—though plain satin, by conventional consent the one material always in vogue for the bridal robe—is clamored for by some; while plain gros grain silic has its votaries, and lodia matl, Swiss mull, and French organdy muslin dresscs are sunt out for youthful rustic brides, who do not feel willfug to afford the expense of & dress more costly. . The silks, satins, and gauzes which are shown for bridal robes ave i several distinct tints of white, and several distines shades of these tints. In cream white, for instance, there is the daris, rich, vellowish shade of the Alderuey cream, twenty-four hours old; and, according to the age of the cream, paler ehades, till the faintest “ offcolor * Is visible. In pearl white we are shown a tint thet almost approacbes the smoke pearl in shade; another, that bas a suspicion of Tose in tint ; another, with the faintest soupeon of lilac,—this being quite perceptitle on the wrong side of ‘plain satin or satiu brocade: and from there scareely pereeptidle hints of color in the silik fabrics displayed there are fainter aml fainter sbades, till the ‘existence of a colored ray is dissinguishable only when laid beside a piece of snow-white silk. Cream white of the medimn shade {3 that in the most decided favor for the bridal robe; and of the wlites is that which is regarded as the,most becoming or the least trying to the complexion. SOCIETY TOPICS. New fans are of plain satin with tiny em- ‘broidered rosenuds scattered here and there over them. A lovely fan is of amber shell with feathers of the same amber shade. Goszip has it that the Princess of Wales won the beart of the future King of England by reading Shakspeare to him, and when he com- olimentarily eaid that te should likke to cogage ber ashis reader, replyinz that her terms were tweniy-five shillings—**a sovereign and a erown.” A Jeader of fashion in San Francisco has had ber chairs and sofas, and the cushlons of her carriazes stuffed with aromatic herbs, in imita- tion of 2 practice prevalent amonz Oriental nations.

Chicago has mone wild over her Majesty’s opera during the lastiwo weeks, and now is the time to ponder over the encominms ziven Dby the best of these musieal artists to one of Chicago’s piano manufecturers. Mr. Gerold, of Wabash aveuue, received a visit from Mme. Gerster, Minnie Hauk, and Arditl, On iheir departure they expressed themscives as highly pleased with the instruments, and left bim thetr written indorsement of the Gerold upricht piano, cordially recommending it to the public as a first-class’ instrument in every parsicular, and worthy of the paironsge of the most fastidious. Anna Dickioson has written for Join MeCul- lough a play called *Aurelian,” which that fine actor is to bring out next April with bimself in the title role. Miss Dickinson is to play with him, taking the first femule part of Queen Zeno- ba. The scenes of the play are laid in Rome and Pslmyra, and the work i5 said to be ex- tremely ideal, and yet full of human interest. Phonography, or_shorthund, as tauzht at the Bryanut & Straiton Business College, 77, 79, and 51 State strect, is becoming quite popular. There is a rapldly-increasing demand for short- hand work in business affairs; in fact, the de- mand i greater than the supply.

Clara Louise Kelloge says: *“The Decker Brothers’ pianos are remarkable for their su- werior quality of tune and extraordinary power. Piner instruments, in every respucl, 1 have pever beard.” They can be found only at the warerooms of Story & Camp, 188 and 190 State street.

Being a close observer of the human mind and given to strong musical predilections, ag wellasa Faher-shoving ealling, 1, miller-like, never have missed the slightest opportunity to singe my wings in_the musical lizht and home presence of such brilliant “stars™ ns Gerster, Roze, Hauk, Campouini, Gatassi, Foli, Carle- ton, and Francesebl, of Her Majesty’s Opera Company, und on several occasions the past two weeks, stteh as the “ intervieWing” of Gerster and several others,—the Abt Societv’s serenndes of Miss Hauk at the Palmer House, then of Mine. Roze at the Grand Pacifie,—~it was the wri- ter’s privilege to get glimpses of the every-day “home-life,” mauners, and tastes of ‘these artists who are known to most Chicazoans only through the columps of the public press. While the writer found them very like other mortals in their manner of entertaining their guests in their several elegant commodious hotel apart- ments, style of dress, likes and dislikes, we, conld but notice what_ot ®irst thought scemed almost a *“monomania” on the subject of Stemway pianos. Go u:to the " houses of our best citizens on any of the avenues und you will find more or. less of adifference of opin- ion as to merits of ditferent makes und styles, but here in the hotel homes of cach of dmsn artists we saw nothing but Steinway’s,—all up- rights cxcept Hauk’s, which was one of |their new style parlor grands. ‘The very fact that so many rifted artists, and all of thesame opera company, too(who were never known toagree on any other point under the sun), should pablicly and privately proclaim, with their mouth and with their every action, their preference for even 50 perfect and popular an instrument as Stein- way’s piano, assures us that the millennium is vot far distant. Beautiful and convenient stole-scarfs and capes for evening and opera wear are of white, pale rose, ciel-blue, and pale Slraw or cream- color, with an applique embroidery in feathers, and bordering of swan’s-down.

Saitors' Magazine, A Japanese sailor named John Mangero, in company with two of his countrymen, named Denzu and Goeman, was wrecked off the Island of Niphon, about 1840. For six months they mavaged to sustain lile on a barren island. They were rescued by Capt. Whitfleld, com- manding a New Bedford ship, aud carried to Honolulu. Here Mangero’s two companions remained; but Johu was taken by Capt. Whit- ficld to the United States, where he was taught the trade of a vooper, and was placed in a school at Fairhaven, Mass., where he quickly attained proliciency in our lanzuage, aud aumong other studics gave special atteution to nuvieation. ‘Lhie expenses of his schooling, ete., were borne by the Captain who had orizinally rescued him, and who felt a strange interost in his protege. In 1849 Mungero, then about 25, sailed for Californio. His suveess at the mioes was not reat; and very eoon he took passage for the andwich Islands, where be met my friend Chapiain Damon. His firat act was to deposit with the- chaplain all bis money—360. After a few days ot wan- dering about the town, He visited the chaplain uain, who, observin: peculiar depression in uls look and manper. ioguired its cause. Man- wero then told him that he was homesick; he bad av inexpressible desire 1o see his native taud. Iu vaiu did his gaud friend urze the dan- gers of such u veutare, To the remark, * Whay, Johw, your people will take your head off if you £o back,” he ouly replied, “I am anxious to go.’ ¢ chaplain asked him if be had matured any plas, when the young Jupancse said: 1 have. 1f I can get a good whaleboat, a sextant, ¢ Bowditeh’s Navigator,” and & barrel of bread, and sowe Captain’ will take me near to any of the islands of my country, and put me over the ship’s si:lc, with my boat, I will take the chances.” Chaplain Damon started out witn a subsert tion puper, expluining o lis friends the desire of this voor foreizn boy to Zo with his two coun-~ trymen upon this strange expedition. Inalit- tle while he had secured $150, which, with the $t0, wos _deemed suflicient. This money the chaplain invested in a good whaleboat, a"copy of *Bowditeh's Navigator,” a sextant, and a barrel of hard bread. Just at this time there appeared at Honoluln the American bark Surah Boyd, Capt. Whit- 1nore master, bouad from 3Mazatlan to Shanghai, 1lis route would naturally bein the direction’ Mangero desired to take. Cbaplain Damon weant aboard, toid the Captain that be had three passeugers for him, explained the partieulars sase, wud urged bim (o fncommode bim- stlf with the party and their lugeage, and the result was the warm-bearted smifor consented; aud on the 17th of December, 1850, John Man- gero and his companions left’ Honolulu in the Sarah Boyd. 7 Nine years rolle@ by; but in vain were Inqu ries made of various shipmesters and others that visitea Monojulu concerning John Mangero. Meantime, Cowmodore Perry had, with his ficet, visited Japan und made the famous treaty by which the ports of that country were opened 0 the nations; aud, as a resuit, Japan emersed from a condition of medieval staznation to that of the magnificent enterprise she now exhibits, Once again, upon the return of Perry’s ficet, its officers were questioued as to any tidings from Mangero, but none kad beard of him. Tn May, 1860, the Japancse corvettee Candln- marrah, which had been commissioned to carry preseuts from the Goverument of Japan to the Government of the United States, on lier way to San Fraucisco, touched at the port of Hooolulu. Imagine the sarprise of Dr. Dawmon, when, in an imperial ollive, with the rank of Captain in the Japanese Navy, und Acting Iuterpreter of the Governmnent, Wwearing bis two swords to des- ignate official status, he recognized his youne friend of the whaleboat, John Mangero. Capt. Mangero related thatthe passage toward Japan was uneventful until they reached the vi einiey of the great Loocnoo Jslands. At this point, in fulfillment of tne agrecement, the whale- boat was launched, and e atd his companions parted company with the Sarah Boyd aud her master. Lund was in sizht about five miles dis- tant, and after teu hours of hard rowing, the shore was reaclied, aud found to be inhabited. They were unaple to understand the language spoken, the natives were suspicious of them, and cudeavored in various \éuys 0 nscertain their nationaiity, uatll diir Japatese origin was made out satisiactorily by the manner in which they used their chop-sticks in eating the rice furnished to them. W& ‘fhey were carried before the Kinz of Loochoo, who detained them in his servive forsix montbs, treating them kindly. At the expiration of this time they were placed in & junk and taken to the Island of Kiusiu. Here they were kept for forty-cight days, being carried before the Prince of the jsland, who made utelligent inguirics of them about America, Americans, and the man- uer fn which they had heen treated while so- journing in the United States. " From this island they were conveyed to Na- gasaki, all this time and subsequently being under surveillance, on account of having been out of the countrs ‘Thirty mouths were spént heres not in prison, but deprived of the liverty of fcee locomotion. But at length permission Wwas accorded to Man- £ero to visit his home for three days and turce i Upon his return he was removed to Yeddo, aud there was invested with the diznity of an ofliefal with two swords. His whaleboat had been carried to Yeddo, and his first com:nis- Flon was to build for_his Goverument a number of these boats. For this purpose he was furnished with all the workmen required, and laboriously taking the whateboat apart, rivet by rivet, and plank by plank, these skilliul Ori- cntal imitators made duplicates of them, and successfully simulated the American model. The old whileboat is now in the Japanese work- shop in Yeddo. This work completed, Mangero was mest ordercd to make o travslation in Japanese of Bowditeh’s Navizator, Logarithus, ete. Aeain Yie was furnished with assistunts, copyists, cte., and was some years employed in this tedious but fmportant work. Altoxther twenty copies were prepared; the orizinal of which by Mungeroisin the possession of the Japanese Government. Sucl, in substance, was the story volunteercd by Capt. Mangero, and recelsed with, unspeak- able iuterest by Chaplain Damon. At lenath the latter said: “Captuin, pray_tell me where you were, and what you were doinz when Com- modore Perry was in Japan?? He replied, * L Wwas in a room adjoining that in which the inter- view took place berween Perry and the Imperial Commissioners; I was not_allowed to sce or to communicaie with any of the Americans; but cach document sent by Commodore Perry was l'.ussml to me to be trapslated into the Japanese efore it was sent to the Imperial authorities: aud the replies thereto were likewise submitted to me to be translated into English before they were sent to Commotore Perry.?? _In gratitude to Dr. Damon, Capt. Mangeroin- sisted upon presenting him two articles which he said he most valued of all his possessious, namely, one of hisswords of office (x blade over 400 vears aid), and the only copy in Japunese of “ Bowditel's Navigator ' whicl he had resained for himself. These articles 1 have personally inspected, and I pronounce the copy of ** Bow- diteh”” to be one of the most beautiful spe mens of haud-printing I bave ever seen. 1t was on cxhibition at our Centennial, und was ad- mired by thousands, few of whom guessed its uotable history. With « word further, I leave the subject of this sketeh. In the year 1570 one of three Com-~ missioners appointed by Jupan to observe the conduct of the war between Germany. and France was Capt. John Mangero, R. N. On his homerward journey hie stopped at Fairhaven to visit aud thank his carly Iriend, Capt. Whittisld, for his kinduess to him.

Mr. Giffen, in bis paper read within the past year before the London Statistical Society on TRecent Accumulations of Capital, estimated that during the past ten years Great Britaio had increased its wealth by 250 millions sterling an- aually, aud bad made foreien and colon:al in- vestments to the amount of 80 millious an- nually. IHe also reckoned the income of En- alishmen, from foreizn and colonial iovest- ments, not including trade profits, at 65 mill- ions, although not more than 29 millions ap- pear in taxable income returns. In a paper read in April last before the British Society ot Arts, Mr. Ernest Seyd esti- mated that in 1872-'%4,a period of prosperity and high. valuations, Great Britain had €30 milliops in foreizn and colonial public stocks, 210 millions_in shares and bonds of foreign and colonizl ratlways and otner public works, and 80 millions in estates, industrial enierprises, and baak stocks in forcien countries anud British colonies. The total, being 940 millions. he sup- posed to have been reduced in 1878 to some figure Dbetween 790 and $40 millions. Among the losses he sets down 55 millions to tke score of defaults by Tarkey and certain South and Central-American Stats This is not so flattering a pieture of the mag- nitude of British foreizn fuvestments as that of Mr. Giffen, but itis amuch lower, 3s well as more mildiy-expressed, statement of British lozses abroad, than that given in a recent sueech at Workiogham (Enz.) by Sir Chories Russetl, M. P., who declared that a conspicious cause ot the depression in *Great Britain was the f(act that it **had been swindled in foreiza Ioans to the extent of 200 miltivs. In estimating how largely Great Eritain holds the public devts of otlier vountries, there is one eiement of the calculation which may be fixed with tolerable accuracy, and that isthe total amount of the public'debts of those countries hare not held by their own Mr. Seyd’s fizures on that part of the case are as follows Thited States, Russin ..... nights. Eayit. o MeXicoausren . 395, €00, 090 Druztls . - 310,000,000 Portual.... . 330,0000050 Britizh colonies.. . 315,000,000 South Americun and other small States..eeuee o 1,475, 000.000 Total .. .. ... Upon these fignres Mr. Seyd observes: The correct proportions of these debis held by these nations is not known, but somo of them aced their entire dedts abroad; in any cay uger bulk i8 held chieily in England, Franc aad Germany. Frowm t L estimatces to be ob- tained, and under reserve, it may be that England thus holds about £650,000.000; France, £450.- 000,000; Germa: 406, 000, 000; Belgzinm, Hol- Jand, Switzerland, efc.. £100,000,000; total, £1, - 600,000,000, England's share is much enhanced by holding the greater part of the debt of her colo- nies, From tlis table of countries whose national debts are held abroad, it is now only a short and small antivipztion of the future to strike out. cntirely the $2,250,000,000 set down to the United States. Our Government bonds held by forcigners orc alreadv reduced to a small amount, and that is diminishing every day. Of the remaining debts, assuming that Great Britain owns the whole of the debts of her colonies and of India, it is difficult to sce where there 1s more than £200,000,000 of other gooud foreign debts which ere held in Eneland. The £855,000,000 set down to Spain, Turkey, Mexico, South American (exclusive of Brazil) and other smail States, is the merest trumpery. Greas Britain is, no doubt, the Jargest foreign holder of the debt of Portugal, w is a semi- English colony. 1t canuot be a remarkably Zood debt, if, as English writers €ay, the inter- est has been mainfy paid in recent years by ad- ditions to the oprincival. 'The Russian foreign debt,—that is the debt payable In sterling money, or coin, was only £309,000,000 wnen hm late war with Turkey broke out, and bus only been increased £15,000,000 since. Al the remainder of the Russian debt, which is now in the total a great deal more than £375,000,000, is domestic debt, either the paper roubles, or bouds pavable in that descriptioun of currency. (irest Britain bas been a farge holder of the ‘Russian_ foreign_debt, bui, “for various and obvious reasous, bas been uuloading it largely within two years, and especially erinan buyers who have taken very optimist views of Russian finance. 'I'he Italianl debt is principally held at bome, and was_never much dealt in by the FEuzlish. The Austria-Hungary debt is less held at home, but the forcizn holders have becn aud are most larely the Germans. Very little of it, even £ow, is a gold dedt, although the proportion of wold debt s increaging. If the English have any such annual income from foreizn and colo- nial_investments as 65 millions sterling, which is the estimate of Mr. Giffen, not more than one-third of it can be derived from the public debis of their colonies and of foreizn countries. ‘Tre remainder must come from wunicipal aud corporate securities, and from the direct owner~ ship of forcign and colonial bouds, railroads, ete The Enwish revenue from sbroad m all forms 1s uundoubtedly great. From India alone it {s stated at 15 mittions sterling, including thiat coming from railroad debts guar- apteed by the Government of Indu. The controversy continues anlmated among the English writers and statisticiaus, first, a3 to now muny and how great deductic should be made from the apparent balance of trade against Great Britain, in order to get at the real ad- verse balapce; and, second, whether the actual balance is anything more than a mere realization of British income from abroad, or is reducing the principal of British foreign investwents, And, if it should be decided that the orincipal of British foreign investments 15 undergoing & process of redue- tlon, it mizhs siill be a matter of debate wheth- er the azyregate of Britishiwealth does not upon the whole increase, from an expansion of riches at home in excess of the rickes celled in from abroad. Manifestly, that will depend upon the question whether the prostration of the British iron, cosl, cotton, and other interests proves to Dbe temporary, or is the setting inof a permanent industrialand commercialdectine. {nhielast case the (so-called) wealth Investzd in tLi:reat British establishments will disappear fike_dew undera bot sun. _But no such coliapse will happen -cx- cept aftet a memorable struggle. The English have great qualities, and they will resist the tall of their commercial and mavufscturiog su- premacy, if It must come, as stubboraly as the old Rownans resisted the downiall of their Ewmpire, aithourh they may not protract their fate as loug. Wages will oe crowded down to thie starvation point, and capital will go without any remuneration, if the necessities of success- 1ful competition with otliers demaud such sac- rifices, Sir Charles Russcll Is quite mistaken in say- ing thet Great Britain hus “been swindled in foreizn loans™ to the extent of 200 or any other number of millions. Great Britain is rarely, if ever, “swindled ” in anvthing. ‘The Englishman ik not addicted to confidence in stranzers, but his covfidence is absolutely chiidlike in other Englishwen, who happen, from whatever canse, to cojoy a prestize of any kind., English in- vestors follow ke a flock of sheep wherever a. “respectable” Enelish baukiog-house leads the way, the sheeo in the rear never looking further ahead than to the Sheep immediately before themn.. It was shown ayear or tiwo years ago in the report of a British committee of holders of foreizn bonds, that m the case of the Guate- malian bouds, and other similar bonds, the swindles: were concocted in London, aund by London parties, and that the fruits of the swindles were divided and enjoved in Loudon. ‘There was no defrauding of Great Britain for the use and beoefit of other countries. The robbery of one set of Englishmen by another was, how- ever, on a scale truly magnificent, and so far as we have seen no_attempt has been made to punish it, ana itis & suspicious circumstance tno attempt was made to expose it until the muschief was irreparabls done. Doubtless, Great Britain bas failed to obtain the. fabulous and really impossible prolits, which swould haye been ovtzined if sl the bonds of othier nations, promising extortionate rates of interest, and sold in London at cnormous dis- counts, had been paid in full. But it has sufer- ed uo Jusses in such trangactions, taken as a whole. Even the Turks, over whose bankruptey particularly sore, insist upon v hzve paid, under the pame of futer- sty \'ns:‘y more thaw they ever received from their pational bonds from the financial go-be- iweens who munipulated them. The great fujury which England has suffered In the business of furciern loans has not been direct losses upon them, but from the fact that 1hey were really mude, not in money, but in wares and merchuandise, and that their maeni- tude was 80 great during the loaning epoch;, which terminated in 1572-3, that they stimulated extravagant investments in manufacturing and mining machivery and_applisnces. There was apparently uo end to the capacity of the world . to purchase alf that Englund could produce, so long as bonds were acceoted In payment; but the cnd cane when England dared not take any -more bonds, und from that part of the existing collapse in British industries there can be 1o re- covery. —_— '"LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YE GATES!" 0 wonderfnl gates of pearl, Your lofty hends uprear! o roysl banners, unfurl Your colors Lo the airl For cometh in glory One Who guides the whirling spheres; ‘Who kindled each bnrning snn, And counts the endless years.
