The Leather of the Egyptians.
Egyptians. |
The ancient Egyptians were skilled
In the art of tanning leather and man- |
ufactured It In various ways and for
various purposes besides that of fuc
nlshhig covering for the feet. Indeed,
it is to those builders of the pyramids
that we ure Indebted for the first artis
tic forms of footwear, and. so far as
can be ascertained from history and
the researches of archaeologists, the
Egyptians were the first shoemakers
who were worthy of that name. It Is
a fact. too. that tanuers of today em
ploy very much the same methods
as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
nre almost precisely similar to those In
Vogue hundreds of years ago. It Is
true that tanners of the present day
Urn vo found a means of greatly shorten
ing the time required to convert a hide
Into leather and thnt steam power and
modern machinery have done much to
expedite and improve the processes of
finishing the leather; but. after all. the
principals of tanning remain the same
as they have been from the first. —

He kicked off his wet boots, slid his
tired feet Into a pair of carpet slippers,
lit Uls pipe, sat down in~the easy chair
with a sigh of relief and declared that

"I did. my love," he answered un

"I asked ma to postpone* her visit foi
awhile." his wife went on. You see"—
Henry did see. His wife saw too.
What she saw was the tired man jump
from his chair, kick off his slippers,
put on his boots and skip out into the

Jutt Like Eve's Apple.
A fruit supposed to bear the mark of
Eve's teeth Is one of the many botan
ical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on
which it grows j a known by the sig
nificant name of "the forbidden fruit,"
or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom
has a very pleasant scent, but the real
ly remarkable feature of the tree, the
one to which it owes Its name, Is the
fruit It Is beautiful and hangs from
the tree In a peculiar manner. Orango
on the outside and deep crimson with
in, each fruit has the appearance of
having had a piece bitten out of It.
This fact, together with its poisonous
quality, led the Mohammedans to rep
resent It as the forbidden fruit of ths
garden of Eden and to warn men
against Its noxious properties. The
mark upon the fruit Is attributed to
Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not
also leave Its mark Is not known, but
as only one piece seems to be missing
Its loss Is ascribed to the woman.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The Dialogue That Took Plac» After
the Dane* Ended.
A well known and popular Los An
geles physician upon the* occasion oC
a recent visit to n professional friend
at Fresno (the pbysiclnn In charge of.
the state Institution for the deaf nml
dumb) was invited to attend one of
the periodical "hops" given the In
mates. All the unfortunates and a
goodly sprinkling of guests were pres
ent.
Before the function had progressed
very far the Fresno physician ap
pronched his Los Angeles medical
friend with, "Get busy, doctor!" The
doctor got busy. Although tipping the
scales nt 210, he Is an easy and grace
ful dnncer and much enjoys tho exer
cise. Approaching a young lady of
singular sweetness and beauty, he In
dicated his desire to dance with her.
She proved to be as witching with, her
feet as with her eyes, and our Los An-
Celcs friend, In contempt of all con
vention, danced two or three number*
with her.
At the close of the last one a gen
tleman approached his charming part
ner and asked for the next dance. "1
should be flighted to favor you, my
frledn," said she In a voice no leu
sweet than her face, "but I've prom
ised to dance the next number with
this dummy here!"
Each had taken the other for an In
mate I— Los Angeles Times.
ANCIENT LONDON.
When Danger and Lanthorns War*
Abroad After Dark.
. Less than 200 years ago the watch
men of London town, carrying horn
lanthorns and halberds, dressed in long:
coats and knee breeches, walked up
and down the cobbled streets of the
world's largest city chanting the fol
lowing verse:
A fight there."malds ! Hang out your light
And see your horns be clear and bright.
That so your candle clear may shine.
Continuing from six to nine,
That honest men that walk along *>.j
May see to pass safe without wrong.
It is beyond our comprehension anl
imagination in these days of flaming
arc lamps and brilliantly lighted
streets to picture the streets of Lon
don in the lawless age when only a
candle with a cotton wick was hung
out here and there ou dark nights. It
was au age of lanthorns, of flambeaux
and llnkboys, when every one mado
his will and prepared for death, when
ho ventured out at night.
It is so written that it was a com
mon practice In that city for a com
pauy of a hundred or more to make
nightly invasions upon houses of tho
wealthy to kill and rob, and it Is re
corded "that when night was come no
man durst venture to walk in the
streets."— Springfield Union. |
A Rattlesnake Story.
In "Life and Sport on the raclflc
Coast" Horace A. Vachell relates on?
of Ms narrow escapes from a friend's
bullet. "My cousin and I had been
camping and hunting for several day*
in ii sort of paradise valley. One day
during ii long ride on horseback we
had seen a great many rattlesnake*
and killed a few. an exceptional ex
perience. That night my cousin wolie
up anil saw by the llgiii of the mooD
a big rattler crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor
ror struck, watching the sinuous curves
of the reptile. Then he quietly reach
ed for his six shooter, but he could not
see the reptile's head, and he moved
nearer, noiselessly, yet quickty, dread
ing some movement on my part that
should precipitate the very thing be
dreaded, and then he saw that It was
not a snake at all—only the black and
yellow stripe of my blanket, which
gently rose and fell ns I breatfied.
Had he fired—well, It might have been
bad for me, for he confessed that his
hand shook."
And They Didn't Exercise.
William M. Evarts, who lived until
he was nearly ninety, said he kept hU
health by never taking exercise. The
celebrated Dr. William George Mead,
who lived to the surprising age of 11$
years, spent nearly all of bis time in
the open air and played a little golf.
Dr. Mead used to drink two or three
quarts of water every day, and perhaps
there is a suggestion in that. Old Du
bols, who lived In Canada for tho bet
ter part of 119 years on the north
shore of Lake Erie, never worked and
never took exercise. He spent seventy
five years of bis life fishing with hook
and line and ate nothing but baked ap
ples and milk and brown bread and un
salted butter. Perhaps you can live
that long If you do nothing but fish
and eat what old Dubols did. But take
notice that these long livers never ex
ercised.—New York Telegraph.
Ho Didn't Know It.
"What are you doing here?"
"Waitln' on prosperity."
"Why. prosperity passed this war
two months ago!" '
"You don't say! That accounts for

that soniethln'' or other had run over
