THE PRIVATE'S STORY.

^...;.„

Far from the haunts of company offi­cers who insist npon kit inspections, far from keen nosed sergeants who sniff the pipe stuffed into the bedding roll, two miles from the tumult of the barracks, lies the Trap. It is an old dry weU, shadowed by a twisted pipal tree and fenced with high grass. Here, in the years gorle by, did Private Ortheris estab­lish his depot and menagerie for such possessions living and.dead as could not safely be introduced to the barrack room. Here wore gathered Houdin pullets and fox terriers of undoubted pedigree and more than doubtful ownership, for Or­theris was an inveterate poacher and pre­eminent among a regiment of neat hand­ed dog stealers.

Never again will the long, lazy even ings return wherein Ortheris, whistl ing softly, moved surgeonwise among the captives of bis craft at the bottom of the well; when Learoyd aat in the niche giv­ing sage courwol on the management of "tykes," and Mulvaney, from the crook of the overhanging pipal, waved his enormous boots in benediction above our heads, delighting us with tales of love and war and strange experiences of cities and men.

Ortheris—landed at last in the "little stuff bird shop" for which your soul longed; Learoyd—back again in the smoky, stone ribbed north, amid the clang of the Bradford looms; Mulvaney —grizzled, tender and very wise; Ulysses —sweltering on! the earthwork of a cen­tral India line—'judge if I have forgotten old days in the Trap!

* * * » * » Orth'ris, as alius thinks he knaws more

than other foalts, said she wasn't a real laady, but iiobbut a Hewrasian. I don't gainsay as her culler was a bit dooaky like. But sho was a laady. Why, she rode iv a carriage, an' good 'osses too, 'an her 'air was that oiled as yo' could see your faice in it, an' she wore dimond rings an' a goold chain an' silk and satin d r e s s e s a s m a n a' c o s t a d e a l , for i t i sn ' t a cheap shop as keeps enough o' one pat­tern to fit a figmre like hers. Her name was Mrs. De Hussa, an' t' waay I come to be acquainted wi' her was along of our co lone l ' s laady'b d o g R i p .

I've seen a vast o' dogs, but Rip was t' prettiest picter of a cliver fox tarrier 'at iver I set eyes on. He could do owt vo' like but speeak, an' t' colonel's laady set more store by him than if he had been a Christian. She hed bairns of her awn, but they was i* England, and Rip seemed to get all t' coodlin' and pettin' as be­longed to a bairn by good right.

But Rip ware u, bit on a rover, an' hed a habit o' breakin' out o' barricks like, and trottin' round t' place as if he wr -e t' cantonment magistrate coom round inspeotiii'. The colonel leathers Mrn once or twice, but Rip didn't care an' kept on gooin" his rounds, wi' his toail a waggin' as if he were flag signallln' to t' world at large 'at he was "gettin' on nicely, thank yo'l and how's yo'sen?" An' then t' colonel, as was noa sort of a hand wi' a dog, tees him oop. A real clipper of a dog, an' it's noa wonder yon laady, Mrs. Do SuBsa,should tek a fanoy tiv him. Theer's one o' t' ten command­ments says yo' maun't c u w e t your nee-bor's ox nor his jackass, but i t doesn't say nowt about his terrier dogs, an' happen thot'8 t' reason why Mrs. De Sussa cttv-veted Rip, tho' she went tochurohreg'lar

' along wi' her husband, who was so mloh darker 'at if he h e d n t suoh a good coaat tiv his back yo' might ha' called him a blaok man arid nut tell a lee mvwther. They said he addled his brass i' jute, an' he'd a rare lot c .tf)a

Well, yo' seen," they teed Rip up t' poor awl lad at., t enjoy very good 'elth. So t' colonel's laady sends for me as 'ad a naame for bein' knowl-edgable about a dog an' axes what's ailin' wi' him.

"Why," says I, "he's gotten t' mopes, an' what he wants is his libbaty an' company like t' rest on us; wal happen a rat or two 'ud liven him oop. It's low, mum," says I, "is rats, but it's t' nature of a dog; am' soa's cuttin' round an' meetin' another dog or two an' passin' t' time o' day, an' hewta' a bit of i» turn up wi' him Hike a Christian "

Bo s h e s a y s h e r d o g maurrt n l v e r fight a n ' n o a C h r i s t i a n a Ivor f o u g h t .

" T h e n wlmt 'a a s o l d i e r for?" s a y s I;

an' I explains to her t' contrairy quali­ties of a dog, 'at, when yo' coom to think on't, is one o' t' curusest things as is. For they hum to behave theirsens like gentlemen born, fit for t' fost o' coom-pany—they tell me t' Widdy herself is fond of a good dog an' knaws one when she sees It aS^well as onnybody; then, on t'other hand, a-tewin' round aftet cats an' gettin' mixed oop i' all manners o' b l a c k g u a r d l y s t r e e t r o w s , a n ' kHUn 1 -rats, an' flghtin' l ike divils.

T' colonel's laady says: "Well, Le>-rojd, I doant agree wi* you, but you're right in a way o' speeakin', an" I should like yo' to tek Rip out a-walkln' wi' yo' sometimes; but yo' maun't let him fight, nor chasj cats, noi| do nowt 'orrid: W them was her very wo'ds.

8oa Rip an' m i gooes out a-walkin' o' evenin's, ho boin a dog oa did credit tiv* a man, an' I catches a lot o' rats, an' w e hed a bit of a match on in an awd dry swimmin' bath at bock o' f cantonments, on' it was uono so long afore he was as bright as a button again. He hed a w a y o' flyin' at them big yaller pariah dogs as if he was a harrow offan a bow, an' though his weight were nowt he tnk 'em so suddent like they rolled over like skit­tles in a halley, an' when they coot he stretched after 'em as If he were rabbit runnin'. Saamo with cats when he cud get t' oat agaate o' runnin'.

Ono evenin' him on' me was trespassin' o w e r a compound wall after one ol them mungooses 'at he'd started, an' we was busy grubbin' round a prickle bush, an' when we looks up there was Mrs. De Sussa wi' a parasel o w e r her shoulder, o-watchin' us. "Oh, myl" she sings outi "there's that lovelee dog! Would he le t ' m e stroke aim. Mister Soldier?"

"Aye, he would, mum," sez I. "foi he's fond o' laady's ooompany. Come tk«svAis.M' miisfrtntValrittflhfifl-"

i *««'T .hliii i l i l l r i^

An' Rip,*seein*"'at t' mongbose"had geffeon clean awaay, cooms up like t' gentlemnn he was, n i w e r ahauporth shy nor okkord.

"Oh, you beautiful—you pretee dogl" she says, olippin' an* chantin' her ipeoob in a way them sooart has o' their 8>wni "I would like a dog like you. Youstrs so verree lovelee—so awfullee pretteio," an' all thot sort o' talk 'at a dog o' lenM mebbo thinks nowt on, tho' he bides it by reason o' his breedin'.

An' then I meks him joomp o w e r i m y swagger cane, an' shek hands, an* beg, an' lie dead, an' a lot o' them tricks M laodies teeaches dogs, though Idoam't haud wi' i t mysen, for it's roakin' a fiool o' a good dog to do suoh like.

An' at lung lenth i t cooms out 'at she'd been thrawin' sheep's eyes, as t' sajvin' is, at Rip for many a day. Yo' see, law childer Was grown up, an' she'd nowt mich to do an' were alius fond of a dog. Soa E>he axes me if I'd tek somethin' to dhrink. An' we goes into t' drawn room, wheer her huahand was a-settim*. They meks a gurt fuss ower t' dog, an' I has a bottle o' sale, on' he gave- m« a handful o' cigars.

Soa I cooined away, but t' awd lass sings out, "Oh, Mister Soldier, please coom again an' bring that prettee dog."

I didn't let on t' colonel's laady about Mrs. De Sussa, an' Rip he says nowt nawther, an' I goes again, an' iviry tilme there was a good dhrink an' a handful o' good smooaks. An' I telled t' awd lass a heeap more about Rip than I'd ever heeard; how he tnk t' fost prize at Lunnon dog show, and cost thotty-tlarefl pounds fower shillin' from t' man aabred him; 'at his own brother was the proup-utty o' f. Prince of Wales, an' 'as he has a pedigree as long as a dook'B. An' she lapped it all oop, an' were nivir tired a' admirln' him. But when t' awd lass took to givin' me money, on' I seed 'at she was gettin' fair fond about t' dog, I be­gan to suspicion summat. Onny body may give a soldier t' pried of a pint in a friendly way an' theer's no harm done, but when it cooma to five rupees slipt into your hand, slylike, why, it's what t' leotioneerin' fellows calls bribery an' corruption. Specially when Mrs. De Sussa threwed hints how t' cold weather would soon be ower, and she was goin' to Munsorree Pahar, an' we was goin' to Rawalpindi, an' she would nivir see Rip any more onless somebody she knoiwed on would be kind tiv her.

Soa I tells Mulvaney an' Orth'ria all t' taale thro', beginnin' to end.

" "lis larceny that wioked ould lady manes," says t' Irishman; " 'tis felony she is sejuicin' ye into, my frind Learoyd, but Til purtect your innooince. Til save ye from the wicked wiles av that wealthy ould woman, an' I'll go wid ye this eiven-in' an' spake to her the wurrds av truib an' honesty. But Jock," says he, waggin1

his heead, •• 'twas not like ye to kape all that good dhrink an' thim fine cigaira to yerself, while Orth'ris here an' me loava been prowlin' round wid throats as dry as limekilns, an' nothing to smoke but c a n t e e n p l u g . ' T w a s a d h i r t y t h r i o k to

play on a comrade, for why should you, Learoyd, be balimdn' yourself on, the butt av a satin chair, as if Terence Mul­vaney was not the aquil av anybody who thrades in jute I"

"Let me alone," sticks in Orth'ris, "but that's like life. Them wot'B really fitted to decorate society get no show, while a blunderin' Yorkshireman like you"

"Nay," says I, "It's none o* t' Iblon-derin' Yorkshireman she wants—it's Rip. He's t' gentleman this journey."

Soa t' next day Mulvaney. an' Rip an' m e goes to Mrs. De Suasa's, an ' t ' Irish­man bein' a strainger she wor a bit shy at fost. But yo've heeard Mulvaney talk, an' yo' may believe as he fairly bewitched t' awd lass wal she let omt 'at she wanted to tek Rip away wi' her to Munsboree Pahar. Then Mu-vaney ohanges his tune an' axes her solemn like If she'd thought o' t' consequences o/ get­tin' two poor but honest soldiers sent t' Andamning Islands. Mrs. De Sussa be­gan to cry, so Mulvaney turns round, oppen t'other tackan' smooths her down, allowin' 'ut Rip 'ud bo a vast hotter oft in t' hills than down i' Bengal, an' 'twas a pity he shouldn't go wheer he was so well boliked. An' soa he went on baokin' an' fillin' an' workin' up t' awd lass wal she felt as if her l ife warn't worth nawt if she didn't heveft' dog.

Then all of a suddint he says: "But ye shall have him, maim, for I've a feel-in' heart, not like this could blooded Yorkshireman; but 'twill cost ye not a penny lesa than three hundher rupees."

Don't^yo' believe him, mum," s a y s l j olonel'B laady wouldn't tek five hun-for him."

o said she would?" says Mul­vaney; "it's not buyin' him, I maae, but for the sake p' this kind, good laady, Til do what I never dreamt to do in my life. TU stale him!" .

"Don't say steal," sayB Mrai De Sussa; "he shall have the happiest home. Dogs often get lost, you know, an' I then they stray, an' he likes me an' I l i l £ him as I niver liked a dog yet, an' I muiit hev him. If I got him at t' last minute I could carry him off to Munsooree Pahar, an' nobody would niver knaw."

Now an' again Mulvaney looked acrort at me, an' though I oould mak nowt o' what he was otter, I concluded to tak his leead.

"Well, mum," I says, "I never thowt to ooom down to dog steealin', but if my c o m r a d e s e e s h o w i t c o u l d b e d o n e t o o b l i g e a l a a d y l i k e y o ' s e n , Vm n u t V man to hod back, tho' it's a bad business,

I'm thinkin', on' three hundred rupeoi ii a poor set off again t' chance o' them Damning islands aa Mulvaney talka on."

"I'll mek It three nfty," says Mrs. Ds Sussa; "only let mo hev t* dogl"

So we lot her persuade us, an' she teki Rip's measure there an' then, an' sent to Hamilton's to order a silver collar again t' time when he was-to be heir awn, which was to be t' day she set off for Munsooree Pahar.

"Sltha, Mulvaney," says I, when wa was outside, "you're niver goin" to let her hev Ripl"

"An' would ye disappoint a poor old woman?" says he. "Sho shall have aBip."

"An' wheer's he to come thtrougn?" says I.

"Learoyd, my man," he tinga out, "you're a pretty man AT your inches an1

a good comrade, but your head is mads av duff. Isn't Our friend Orth'ris a taxidermist, a n ! ^ rale artist wid hit nimble white finger? An' wha't it taxid­ermist but a man who can thrats shMns? Do yo mind the white dog thai belong! to the canteen sargint, bad oeat to him—he that's lost halt, his Mmo an' snarlin' the rest? He shall be lost fox good nowt on' do y# mind that he'i tin very spit in shape an' sixs av the. colonel's, borrin' that his tail is an inch too long, an' ho has none av the oolot that divarsjifles the rale Rip, an' hia.tinv per is that av his matter aa' worae,' But fwhat is on inch on a dog's tail? An' fwhat t e a professional like OrtaMs is • fow ringstroked ihpota *r black* brown .an'white? N o t W at all, at all,"

Then we meets Orth'ria, an1 that littXi, man bein' ehai-paa a needle, seed, his way through t' business In a mlnutsv An' h i went to wo-ka practiauV'air dyea tb l ' r«ry next 'lay, beginnin' on lome whit* rabbits ho had, an' than ha dvored all Bin's mardn's on t' back of a whi t e cotn-, missariat bullock, s o a».»o g t t hiii 'andia,

was atraingely reg lar , an* Orth'riirss*t6d himself to make a fost rate job on it when he got hand o' f canteen targinrs dog. Theerniver wastiohadog aa.thot fox bad temper, an' it did nut get n > better when his tail hed to be fettled m inch an'a half shorter. But they may talk o1

theer royal academies as they pee . 1 nlver aeed a bit o' animal palntinf to beat t' copy as Orth'ria made of Bip'4 marki, wal t' pioter itself was marlin' all t' timi an' tryin' to get at Rip standin' theer to be copied as good as goold.

Orth'ris alius hed as mloh conceit on himsen as would lift a balloon, an* he woor- so pleeased mi' his sham Rip ha .wor for tekkmg him to Mrs. Be Suua before she went away. But Mulvaney an' me stopped thot, knowin' Orth'rii"' work, though niver so cliver, was nob-but skin deep.

An' at last Mrs. De Sussa for Btartin' to Munsooree,P. waa to tek Rip to t' stayshun i* i basket an* hand him ower just when they was ready to start, an* then she'd give TXMJ!

An' my wodl It were high time she were off, for them 'air dyes upoit V OUT'S back took a vast of paintm' to keep t' reet culler, tho' Orth'ris spent A matter o' seven rupees six annas i' t' bejrt droog-ehops f Calcutta.

An't' canteen sargint was loOkin* (oi­l s dog everywheer; on' wi' bein' tied up t' beast's timper got waur nor ever.

It wor i' t' evenin' when t' train started thro' Howrah, an' we 'elped |Mrs De Sussa wi' about sixty boxes, an^then bo gave her t' basket. Orth'ris. for pride av his work, axed us to let him coom along wi' us, an' he couldn't help llftdn' t' l id an' showin' t' our as he lay colled oop.

"OhJ" says f awd laaai "the bautee! How sweet he looks!" An' just then t' beauty snarled and showed his 'teeth so Mulvaney shuts down t' l id and sayst " Y e l l be careful, marm, when ye; tek him out. He's disaccustomed to travelling by t' railway, an' heTl be sure to Want hia rale misstress an' his friend Learoyd, so y e l l make allowance for his feelings, at f(»t."

18he would do all that an' more for the dear, good Rip, an' she would nut oppen t' basket till they were miles away, for fear anybody should recognize him, an' we" were real good and kind soldier-men, we were, ah' she honds m e a bundle o' notes, an' then cooma up a few of her relations anfriends to aay good-*by—not more than seventy-five there wa&ft—an' we outs away.

What coom to t' three hundred an' fifty rupees? Thot's what I canj soarce-lins tell you, but w e melted it. It was share an' share alike, for Mulvaney said: "If Learoyd got hold of Mrs. De Sussa first, sure 'twas I that remimbered the sargint'sdog just in the nick Bv time, an' Orth'ris was the artist av janiua that made a work av art out av that ugly piece av ill nature. Yet, by wiiy av a thank off erin' that I was n o t led into felony by that wioked ould woman, Til send a thrifle to Father Victor for the poor people he's always beggin' for."

But me an' Orth'ris, he twin* cockney an' I bein' pretty far north, did nut Bee it i 'yJtaame way. ~ W e gotten t' brass an' -Mpsieaned to keep it. An' soa w e did—for a short time.

Noa—noa, we nlver heeard a wo'd more o' t' awd lass. Our rig'mint went to Pindi, an' t' canteen sargint 'lie got himself another tyke Insteead lo11' one 'at got lost so reglar an' was) lost for good at last.—Rudyard Kipling.

*t . , A Stranger '* 11 luff.

There were a dozen of us in a smoking oar on the Lake Erie and Western dur­ing the closing days of the lost presiden­tial campaign, and of course w e com­pared notes. v

"Gentlemen," said a N e w Jersej banker, "I'll bot |20,000 on Harrison."

"Right now?" aoked a man wlio oanu forward all of a sudden, having an old carpetbag in his hand.

"Y—yes, sir." "P. y. w., which means prodnoe youi

wad," said the stranger, and opening his carpetbag he took out a roll' of bilL as big aa your leg.

"That is, I will bet $20,000) that h« gets the popular vote," stammered thi banker. !

"O. d. w. t. r., which means oomi down with the rhino," replied the stran­ger as he fished for his boodle again.

SHE DOUBLED UP THE MAYOR.

An Insane Woman Conquers an A m y oi City d"mcl»U on tha Island.

"There has been a marvelous ohangt •tajthe'irrtatm»a'»bf_lnaane patients lav our h o i ^ t t S ^ W n ' l f i l ^ a t five years? said H. H.-Porter,'the president of thi board of commissioners of charities and correction, the other day. "Not long ago every patient waa considered a can­didate for the atraightjaoket or the oufft if he was at all violent. Now we seldom have occasion to use either one. Th< change has come as a result of our in­creased facilities and accommodations. We are enabled to employ better nurset and caretakers, and we find that persua­sion ie far more effective than force,

"I remrmber a rather funny expert snee I had when Mayor Hewitt was ir office. You know the old gentlemax was very anxious to do the right thing In regard to appropriations for all th< city Institutions, and in order to under­stand the needs of each he made re­markably thorough and careful invest! gallons. He sent word to us one da} that he would inspect the insane aay lnma on the island the next day, so al! the commissioners made arrangement! to accompany him. When the tim« came there was just an army of us, foi beside the mayor and the commissioneri every paper in the city sent its repre sentative.

"We got along all right on the island until we came to the 'lodge* where th« most dangerous patients were kept Here Mr. Hewitt stopped and said, *1 don't think we had better go in there-all of us—for we will probably excite thi patients.' But none of the commission­ers or reporters wanted to be left behind, so we all went in, the reporters bring­ing up the rear.

"There was a big German woman, 8S years old, confined there, with whom w« had had considerable trouble. I thoughi she was safe out of the way, but wher we opened the doors there she wai straight before us. The crowd nettled her for a moment, and then with a yel she rushed forward. There waa a grand rush—the reporters turned tail and ran aa fast aa they could for the fence, whilt the commioSionerB streaked off In differ ent directions, and poor Mayor Hewitt, who could not get out of the way, wai left facing the wild woman.

"He did not stand long, however, fo: in less time than I can tell it she hit bin in the pit of hia stomach and doubled VyiTrt up on the floor, while his glasset flew clear acro*8th**oom. The next m-stant the keepers had her in charge, and slowly the army of men gathered itselJ together. While tho other commissioner! were dusting the mayor off I handed him his glasses, and then he turned and looked at us reproachfully as ho said, 'I told you BO.' "—New York Tribune.

The bug is a very useful inseot, bul how objectionable it can mnke itself os occasions was Bhown by an inoidenl whioh ocourrod one night on the Central railroad of New Jersey. The milk train was carrying two passenger coaches be­hind the milk cars, and aa the .nighi waa warm the half dozen passenger! aboard had the windows all raised, The train hod been standing on a side track a few minutes when a swarm oi large June bugs, attracted by the cai lights, flew In through the windows. In five minutes the seats were nearly covered with the bugs, and they began to crawl around the legs of the passen­gers and to prove otherwise unpleasantly officious. In five minutes the insects had possession of the t w o cars and thi passengera turned out. The problem whioh now presented itself was how to get the pests out of the cars before the train started. A fire was suggested, and whi le the passengera gathered brushwood and kindled a roaring blaze, one of the brakemen went into the can and put the lights out. The ruse wai successful, the bugs deserted the can and the passengers went back, shut down the windows and sat in darknesi until the train started.—New York Com­mercial Advertiser.

. Modern ingenuity has changed the character of almost every business' in existence within the last fifty years, but there is one which still retains its prime­val simplicity. That is the manufact­ure of leather. The one thing needed to make good leather i s time, and as modern machines tend to eliminate that element they are of no use here. ' The -ancient and honorable occupation of the tanner stands proof against innovations.

Notwithstanding that fact there i s an immense "Amount ot leather made, and Ctactanatt's output;for a year reachas the enormous quantity of>i83,000 hides, valued at $4,080,000. Of this fully half i s made a t one tannery, whioh i s the largest in the world.

I t *was to this tannery that a importer betook himself yesterday to see h o w the old fashioned business was conducted. The obliging superintendent took him in hand, and for one hour and a half the pair marched steadily onward, upstairs, down elevators and through villainous smells. %

FORESTS OF BASK. The Brat room entered was the bark

store room, where there was an immense pile of 40,000 cords of chestnut oak bark. This is obtained from Kentucky, Ten­nessee and Alabama, and enough i s kept stored for a year's use. At' one end of this room is a machine, into whioh t w o men are kept busy feeding the bark to be ground up. The tan bark waa left for awhile and the hide room was visit­ed. This is b i low the level of 'the rail­road track, and a trap door opens i n the ceiling, through which^the hides are dropped from the cars. Most of the hides come from Chicago, but for pat­ent leather those brought from Paris, France, are the best, as they are larger and thicker. Rough hides range in value from $8 to $10, according to grade. They are here so-ted, weighed and put into packs of 184 hides each, and one hide of each pack is numbered. The whole pack is started at once, and comes out finished at the same time. By means of a rope attached to the numbered hide the loca­tion of any pack can be ascertained at any time.

Next comes the beam house. Here the hides are Boaked in clear ^water for three days, receiving four changes of water in that time. Thus thoroughly soaked they are plunged into l ime water and left for five days. One more day in fresh water and they ore run through a machine at the rate of 612 daily and have all the hair removed. Next they go to

• the beams, which are boards about five feet long, inclined to an angle of forty-five degrees and having a longitudinal convexity upward and being covered with zino. Upon these the hides are thrown flesh aide up, and the flesh side scraped off with broad bladed knives. The bits of meat go to the g lue factories and the hair ia used by plasterers. An­other soaking in fresh water and they are taken by the strokers, w h o work them three times on beams to remove any short hairs or lime that may remain. From here they are put into fresh water again, then suspended on stioks in very weak tan liquor for t w o weeks. They are perfectly white when introduced into this liquor, but come out slightly tanned or brown.

IN THE TAN LIQUOR. They are then taken into a large room,

the floor of whioh is simply planks laid over large vats. Into these vats a hide is thrown, fresh bark is scattered over i t , and another hide is placed on top, e t c , unti l the vat i s filled. The whole is sub­merged in the strongest tan liquor.

While thoBO are soaking let us see how the liquor is made. In a large room there are thirty-two leeching vats, each 10 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep. In a new tannery these must be filled w i t h fresh water and ground bark, but in an established tannery liquor is used. The fresh bark is flooded w i t h strong liquor, and when this is drawn off weaker liquor is put on the same bark, the vat being allowed to stand eight days eaoh time, and then weaker liquor is placed on the bark, till at the thirty-second time i t is pure water; or, in other words, fresh water is put on worn out bark, then transferred t o fresher and fresher, unt i l when put on new bark i t is strong liquor. The exhausted bark is burned i n heated ovens and generates an immense amount of steam.

The hides taken from the vats were packed with bark and suspended on frames in tan liquor for two weeks. Hero as in the leeching process an old tannery has an advantage. The fresh liquor is put on the hides that have been longest tanning, and as the strength 1s-taken out by the hides the liquor is run over fresher hides until at last it is run over perfectly fresh hideB and into the sewer. Thus the longer a hide has been tanning,the stronger liquor it is subject­ed to.

Blrom the vats the hides are taken to be scoured by a brush and stone i n a machine.' They acre then dried. W h e n perfectly dry they ao-e tempered b y be-

iiif d«mi>«MKl with li«^ water. Tbef ara, then polished wit*: c>uper wheels , worked by machinery in the manner of a huge flatiron. This is the last touoh given to sole leather. Belt ing leather is. sold in the rough without this last pol­ishing. Belting is, however, made here/ and only the best stock i s selected for that purpose. The hides are first cu t in to short strips of the proper width, soaked and scoured, dried and stuffed. Stuffing consists in applying aooat of oil and grease to the damp leather. It Is -then dried and the oil is absorbed by the leather, after which the grease i s scraped off. the strip dampened, and put in to a frame, where it is subjected to a great strain i n order that i t m a y lose al l elas­ticity. It i s then removed to the belt-department, where i t i s glued or riveted into belts.—Cincinnati Times-Star.

Under Henry I coiners of false money were punished by the loss of their right hands, and other mutilations of varioni kinds were in common use. In 1160 we hear of heretics w h o had refused to ab­jure their faith being handed over to ths church by the civil authorities to b« branded with ft hot iron on the forehead, have their clothes torn off from the waist up and be whipped through the publio streets.' Boycotting was at that t ime e legal practice, whatever i t may be now, for the said heretics -were not only for­bidden to worship as they desired, bul forbidden to enter the houses of ortho dox believers, or even to purchase the necessaries of life.

With the over­hand side stroke I swam 100 yards in one minute and fifteen seconds, while the turtle stroke occupied just one and one-fifth seoonda longer. I have found the turtle stroke very hard to keep up, because the movements are quicker than the side stroke movements.
