An interviewed cane merchant said : “Styles in canes? Why, they change almost as often as the cut of women’s dresses does. I have been in this business since it was es- tablished by my father in 1841, and since that time I have learned that new shapes in sticks must he invented every year. A good cane is an old man’s friend and a handsome one is a, young man’s pride. One might as well be out o! the world as out of the fash- ion, and the young men nowadays who doesn’t carry a ‘erook’ may as well go to the nearest dock and throw himself into the river. When 1 say ‘erook’ Iinean the latest thing out in canes. It is in Similar shape to the curved-handle stick, which has always been in vogue, but generally carried by old gentlemen. There are two styles, the shep- herd’s crook shaped like a fish hook, and the Zulu crook, a plain curved handle. Both styles originated on the other side, as do most of the fashions in canes. The Zulu is from Paris, and the Shepherd from London. They were introduced there last spring, and took the place of the crutch, which was so popular last year. These new styles are made from natural wood, with handles, and yet there are a great many made with cha- mois and bull";th horn handles. When 1 was a young man a whalebone cane wasthe pro- per thing, and since then there have been the agate-topped Malacca, the bamboo and barked sticks of dill‘erent shapes. The makâ€" ers here get woods from all over the world, the most expensive being the Malacca, which comes from the swamps in the Straits of Malacca, and the leopard wood, olive and shake wood, from Africa. America can. supply the wants of the world for pretty barked wood. For canes, the ash plant very popular among Englishmen, comes from Great Britain. where it is cultivated forcane use alone. When used as a walking stick it is never varnished, but used just as it was pulled. The fancy woods, such as Malacca, l’enang and “Yankee bambeos, are generally mounted in gold or silver, with hammered head, and often cost as much as $30.” The szn' is said to have convincing proof that the Nihilists have determined to abun- don the policy of assassination.
