almost anything in fact. Ten of tliem

the form of package. See, the hides are

tevio and other South American points
nre usually folded so that they are about
nine feet long awl two foet wide. Yoc

quite -o long, anl are full of holes along

them to the sand while drying.
"Xow look at these hides. They arc
genuine buffalo skins Irom India. Xo,
not the American bou, but the real
buffalo of the naturalists. They make
the cheapest quality of leather, but still
very useful. Their grain, you know, is
the longest; hence their great utility foi
counters arid insoles in boots and shoes.
Well, we turn out over 100,000 of them
annually alone, and there are o titers whe
manufacture the leather in considerable
quantities.
"The greatest obstacle to overcome in
preparing the hide? end shipping them al
most around the world to Now York is the
insects. Various methods are employed
to destroy or frustrate these pesls. The
chuenam method I have explained to you.
It's hard to tell which is the more ob
jectionable, the bugs or the mud. The
South African liides are what wo call a
dry cure. They are rendered very dry by
lung exposure to the ban before shipping.
In that condition they resist the attack of
Insects very well. Dut the most success
ful method, and that most widely used, is
in dipping the hide in a solution of arsenic
before drying. This solution is both a
preservative and an insecticide. Tanners
have good reason to prefer this style of
cure. Hides so treated will weigh fully
.TO ner rent, more when tanned Into leath
er, while the chuenam liides lose from 10
to 15 vcr cent, in weight."
" here do you get the best hides?"
"The only good hides come from the
tempe.-atc zone or from regions sufficiently
elevated to lossess r. similar climate.
Healthy cattle there have thick, natural
hair and skins of good grain. But in the
hot countries the hair is very thin, and
the grain of leather made from such liides
Is coarse and poor. On the other hand, in
the cold mrions, the hair lccomes very
tine, and so thick as to make n kind of
fur, which also destroys the grain of tho
leather In the temperate zones the win
ter hides are better than those taken in
the summer. The grain of the leather Is
then at its best."
Leaving Frankfort street awl the region
of sole leather, the reporter sought n
large lnanufacturtr of fine leathers, a
leading producer of the American "Hus-sia."
"Whnt kinds of leather do yon make?"
queried the reporter.
"All of the liner kinds, including har
ness, enameled, colored, Itussia, ami cm
bossed leather for furniture and wall
decoration." -
"How does your Russia compare with
the imported?"
"What do you mean wncn you say
'Russia?' Do you mean ml leather That
is what the average American scents to
understand by the term. But, hi answer
to your quest'ou, I can truly say that our
leather is letter than the genuine Itussla.
Why? Because our tannage Is ltter.
Let me show you."
Two hides were Urougi. ; the one im
ported, the other home made Russia.
The iorter could detect no difference.
'The difference is positive ami in our
favor," resumed the leather man, ns he
picked up the genuine Russia, folded it
tightly, anil vigorously rolled the fold be
rtiimr and thumb. "Now look,"
said he, as he straightened out the fold.
"on!e the surrtce is crncKeu ami a
wrinkle remains. That is the weak point
in this article, which, by the way, is of
theliest quality. It is imperfectly tanned
and colored. Xow try this piece ot oni
mauulcture. There is not the slightest
abrasion of the surface, you observe, nor
does any wrinkle indicate wnere uie
fold was. The color, too, is tuimjumi.
Our lather is so much better tanned that
it is soft and tribtbie and stands wear
much letter."
"Tlie mauner of producing this peculiar
odor is kept a itrofouwl secret, is it not?"
"Nonsense. Oil ot spruce i wic aeenv
which gives tlie scent to tho leather.
There is no Kcret iit it. 'lho oiu
special knowledge required in the busi
ness is to know where to buy the best
hides. Imjw liest to tan them, anil Ihhv to
tell to best advantage."
'How is this lacunar gram produced?
"Tli nlaiu. colored leather is placed
tine n n board which has a specially pre-
partd rough surface. ..ow grease does
the rest. The workman presses awl rubs
the leather with a block until it conforms

Last week, at a suburlum railway station
near Boston, an elderly gentleman, about to
get on to the train, was seen to kick under
tho wheels a banana skin lying on the plat
form, nnd to do it with a manifestation of
such positive ferocity as to mako the bystand
ers look on with amazsent that tiiuo and
the long experience ot life should liava done
so littlo to calm the violence of on explosive
temper. Not content, however, with such
physical exhibition of feeling, the irate gen
tleman then addressed himself to the con
ductor in the following language: "If your
corporation would only hang to the nearest
hunpost the first roan, woman or child that
flings a banana skin on a railroad platform,
tlie wbolo country would rUo up and acquit
them."
The sentiment seemed a little extreme: but,
st ran go to say, it was no sooner uttered than
another pawuger broko out: "Yes, that's
the way to talk; ona of thoso skins cost my a
broken thigh and four months in bod."
Whereupon the old gentleman and tho wit
ness so suddenly raised up in illustration of
the truth of his doctrine shook hands and be
came fast friends. Indeed, in this prosaic
world it is not often that the blood of the
martyrs becomes so immediately and visibly
the seed of tho church. For it was jierfectly
legible on the faces of the rest of Una passen

lately regarded as a warning against an un
governed temper was now looked upon as an

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Interesting Ihiperlraent In California's
fctnte rrl.on r.Mxl for Convict.
Tlie state of California Is trying an In
teresting experiment in tho treatment of
prisoners with a view of securing their
reformation. It lias established the l-'ol-jom
state prison among tho hills near the
ncau or the American river. Tho scenery
Is fine, the air pure, and the water excel
lent. The convicts nre chiefly employed
in quarrying and dressing granite. Tha
uuiidmg docs not essentially differ from
prisou structures iu most of the northern
states. It is roomy, safe and substantial.
It lias the customary cells, baths, mid ar
rangements for securing ventilation. The
Inmates Imve their liair cropped aud wear
the usual distinctive prison garb, which
Insures their arrest If they make an escape.
It Is lu tho matter of supplying food
that this prison differs from others. Th
convicts, when they first arrive, as wei
as those who show little Inclination t
work or a disposition to be vicious, an
supplied with rather poor fare, coniistiiv:
largely of boiled beans, salt meat, cabbage,
mush, common bread and coffee served
without milk. If not within sight of the
table where this coarse fare U served,
there Is within smell of Itnnotheron whicV
fresh beef and mutton, various kinds I,
vegetables, rice, and on Sundays cak
sirup anil tea, are placed. Tho convi:

joy the food thereon if he worki diligent!,

considerable pains to secure It. Tho in
mates of this penitentiary ordinarily adop
such a course an cnnbles them to sit at the
better table within a few months of tliei:
entrance. When taking their first break
fast at It they jierceive the odor of bee'

room. They learn that there are roosi
beef and mutton, salads, and pudding
there for dinner, while for supper then
arc steaks, chops, fried potatoes, tea. and
several kinds of fruit. The price of ad
mission to thirf table is strict attention U
business, respect for all rules nail regula
tions, ami the constant observance of pro
priety. The food comes high, but most ol
the convicts are anxious to obtain it, one"
many of them do. Chicago Times.
Or it Very Inquiring 3Ilnd.
One day we sat iu n car seat on n south
cm railroad behind a pale, careworn lady,
who was talking to a little boy. As tht
little boy was eif a very inquiring mind,
and everything seemed to attract his at
tention, I could not help listening to some
of Ids questions.
"Whut is that, nunHe5" the little boy
commenced, pointing to n stack of hay.
"Oh, that's liay, dear," answered the
careworn lady.

Gentlxmsk. The first section ot the
act ot March 3, 1ST7, entitled "An Act
to nrovidb for the sale ot desert landj
in certain States aud Territories," pro-
viues lor tue reclamation oi sucn lanas
by "conducting water unon the same.'
The second section provides "that all
lauds exclusive of timber lauds and
mineral lunds which will t.ot, without
artificial irugatii.ii, produce ome agri
cultural orop. shall be ueenu-d desert
lnudi witbiu the meaning of tuis act,"
nnd the third lection provides that "tho
termiuatiouof whnt may hi consider
ed desert lud shall be subject to the
deoiMou ami regulation ot the Com
missioner of tbo Uenerul Lund Office."
It is therefore prescribed as follows
1st L'inds borJeriug upon streams.
luces or other natural bodies of water,
or through or upou which there is any
iver, stream, arroyo, lake, pond, body
ot water, or living spriug, aro not sub-
ect to entry under the desert land law
until the clearest proof ot their desert
character is furnished.
2d, Lauds which produce native
grasses sufficient in quantity, it unfed by
grazing animals, to make an ordinary
crop of hay in usual seasons, are not
desert lands.
3d. Lands which will produce an ag
ricultural crop or any kind, in amount
to make the cultivation reasonably re
munerative, are not desert.
4tb. Lands containing pnffioient
to produce a natural growth of trees,
arc not to bo olassed as desert lands.
1. The amount ot land which may be
entered by any person under tho desert
Iind act cannot exceed one section, or
six hundred and forty acres, which must
be in compact form, aud no person can
muko more than one entry.
2. Desert land entries ere not assign
able, and the transfer of such entries
whether by deed, co&traot, cr agreement,
vitiates the entry. An entry made in
tho interest or for the benefit ot any
other parson, firm or corporation, or
with iiiteut that the title shall be con
veyed to any other person, firm or cor
poration, is illegal.
3. Tho price at whioh lands may be
entered under the desert land aot is tbe
nine as under the preemption law, viz:
Singlo minimum lands at SL25 per acre,
and double minimum lands at 82.50 per
oore. (Section 2357, U. S. ltev. Stat.)
4, A party desiring to avail himself
ot tho privileges ot tho desert land act
must file with the Register and Receiv
er ot the proper district land office a
declaration, undor oath, setting forth
that the applicant is a citizen ot the
United States or that be has declared
his intention to become such. In the
latter case a duly certified copy of his
declaration of intention to become a
citizen must bo presented ana filed.
It must also bo set up that the applicant
has not previously exercised the right ot
entry under the provisions ot this act.
nnd that he intends to reolaim the tract
of land opplied for by conducting water
thereon within three years from date ot
his declaration. The declaration must
also contain the description of the land
applied for, by legal 6ub division if sur
veyed, or if uusnrveyed ns nearly as pos
sible without n survey, by giving with
as much clearness nnd precision 03 pos
sible the locality ot the tract with refer
ence to the already established linea ot
survey, or to known aud conspicuous
land marks, so oa to admit of its being
readily identified when tho lines ot sur
vey come to be extended.
5. Your attention is called to the
terms ot this deolaration as provided by
existing regulations (Form -1-274), which
nre such as require a personal knowl
edge by the entryman ot lands intended
to be entered. Tie required affidavit
cannot bo made by an agent nor upon
information and belief and you will
hereafter reject all applications in which
it does not appear that the entryman
made tbe averments contained in the
sworn declaration upon his own knowl
edge derived from a personal examin
ation ot tile lands. The blank in the
declaration, to-wit: "that I became ac
quainted with said land by ," must
be filled iu with a full statement ot the
facts of his acquaintance with tbe land
and bow he knows its character as al
leged. Said declaration must be cor
roborated by the affidtvits of two reput
able witnesses who are acquainted with
the laud and with the applicant, and
who must clearly state their acquaint
ance with tho premises, and the facts as
to tbe condition and situation ot tbe
land upon which they base their judg
ment (Form 4-074).
6. ADnlicanta and witnesses must in
all esses state their places ot actual res
idence, thoir business or occupations,
and their post-office addresses. It is
not sufficient to name the county ana
State or Territory where a party lives.
lint the town or oity must bo named.
nnd if a residence is in a city the street
and number mnst be given.
7 The declaration nnd corroborating
affidavits maybe made before either the
Register or Reoeiver ot tbe land district
which tho lands are suuaiea, or co
lore the jndge or clerk of a court of
record of the county in which the lands
nre situated, and it tho lands are in on
unorganized connty, then tho affidavit
mar be made in an adjioent county.
The depositions ot applicant and wit
nesses in making unal proot must do
taken in the same manner; and tbe au
thority of tinvnractioe or regulation per
mitting original or finsl desert land affi
davits to bo executed before any otlier
officers than those named above, h here
by revoked. The affidavits oi
applicant nnd witnesses must
in every instance either of origi
nal application or final proof, bo made
at the same time ana piaoe ana ueiore

to tbe satisfaction ot the distnot otn
cers.the applicant will pay the Reoeiver
sum of twenty-five'eents per acre where
thn land is smele minimum, ami nity

testants will be allowed a preference

tice of the cancellation ot tbe oontested
entry, in the same manner as in home
stead snd pre-emption oases, and the
Register will give the same notice and
be entitled to the same fee for notice as
in other oases.
15. When relinquishments of desert
land entries are filed in the local land
office, the entries will be canceled by the
Register and Reoeiver iu the same man
ner as in homestead, pre emption and
timber-culture esses, under the first sec
tion ot the act ot May 14. 1880. (21
Stat. 140.)
16. Nothing herein will be construed
to have a retroactive effect in coses

partment in force at the date of entry
were complied with.

Editor Citizkx: Tbo chango from
the sea shoro to the city during this
heated term is most most distressing,
and many gentlemen who nro only able
to spend their Sundays in the country,
think they feel better to stick it out in
town with the thermometer in the nine
ties than to change for so short a time.
Tho carriages most in demand ore the
little wbito hearses, and plain wagons
which oarry away little pine boxes. It
thore had been any women on tho Board
of Estimates aud Apportionments, there
would have been less need ot these ve
hicles. Why is the world so slow to
recognize tbo fact that women know
what women and children need? Oh
mother?, you who havo buried your lit
tle children, and know the beartaobes
of it all, you iu tho midst of comforts
and luxuries, do not fail to use your in
fluence for tho extension ot the sphcro
of your sex. The mother heart in the
tenement house is often as tender as tho
mother heart in the palace, and the
need of one for tho -other is enough to
make tho angels weep.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson iiarnett has
been offered 810,000 to write a grown
up Lord Fontleroy story. She doos not
believe she can d it to ordur. The
Little Lord was a work of inspiration to
a creat extent. Much ot the work was
doubtless drudgery hart! ,f steady, try

of a high order are wont to say.
Kate Field has been mentioned by
somo of her converted Mormons, as tho
most desirablo governor that Utah can
havo when she becomes a state. Miss
Field was under the impression that
Mr, Cleveland made a definite promise
before his election, to spend some time
and effort in putticg a stop to Brigham
Young-ism, and is now under the im
pression that he hasn't kept his word,
This brilliant lady ought to know how
muoh easier it is to promise under suoh
circumstances than to perform later. If
Miss Field wants to be governor or any
other high cockalorum after the episode
of the battle flags, she has the spirit ot
the toughest ot Fox's martyrs.
Jay Gould thinks that "Congress had

A pathetic story is told ot the mother
ot three children, who wero drowned off
Conar6ie Dy the carelessness of the cap
tain of tho Mystery. The report ia
that she was sterni) impressed not to
go, iu fact declared herself 'pulled
book," and as if r voice whispered "don't
go," ''don't go," butwas over-perauaded
by her friends who called a fcol and so
on. It doesn't seem as if it ought to re
quire a voice from another world to re
strain a mother from taking a family of
childreulupoB a crowded sail boat in the
waters about New York. But there is
no more doubt that such warnings aro

not be disregarded when common sense

way.
To tho bright young girl who writes
to mo so seriously about the trouble
sho is having with her face, which she
describes as a "mass of pimples," I cau
only reiterate what I have said times

upon those near and dear to me, and
nothing could exceed the waxen fairness

havo a cood physician, go to him with
your ailments, and then do os he tells
you. lint don t take arsenic, and don t
play with qmuino in any shape what
ever. The argument used that arsenio
is a splendid' tonic, and immediately
relieves tho "goreness" which tired nnd
nervous people experience at the pit of
the stomach, may "possibly bo true, but
if so, it is only a temporary help, and
kills even while it relieves. I will men
tion a tonio whioh is pure, sate and
simple, and recommended to me by one
ot the first physicians in the Inud. This
is Five Fowcred Gentian, put tip by
Fnrke. Davis S: Co. I find that ten
drops in n tnmbler of water will last
about twenty-four hours taken in fre

brain-fag and general "goreness" that I
have over known.
The Prince ot unles is said to bo

worked up "an ill-natured exaggeration
of a very graceful and gentlemanly rc
