VC l.LIIL EVE1:1 THURSDAY AT i'W 1|EL'hR, S. C. LEATHEr FROM HUMAN SKIN. A FlourIshina Tannery Where It I Pre* pared for te shoenmaker. I remember th-tt two or three years ago I incidentally referred to a proientt phy dician of this city _.ig shoes made from the skin of negroes. lIe still ad heres to that custom. insisting that the tanned hide of an African makes the most enduring an' the most pliable leather known to ma. Only last week I met him upon th' street-with a brand new pair of shoes. I looked at his foot wear, as I always do his pedal coverings have an irresistible fascinationt for me-and said, with a smile: 'Is the lown trodden African still be neath your feet?" In the most matter of fact way, and without the shadow of a smile. he answered: "I suppose you mean to inquire if I still wear shoes made of the skii of a negro. I certainly do, and I don't prop,se changiag in that respect until I find a leather that is softer and will last longer and present a better appearance. I have no senti ment about this matter. Were I a southerner-i:' the American sense of that word-I might be accused of being actuated by a race prejudice. But I am a foreigne"r by bir:h, although now an American citizen by naturalization. I fouhu in the rebellion that the blacks might he freed. I would use a white man's skin for the same purpose if it were sutficiently thick. and if any one has a desire to wear my epidermis upon his feet after I have drawn my last breath he has my ante mtorten perission." The doctor's shoes always exhibit a peculiarly rich lustrousness in their black ness. He assures Ine that they never hurt his feet. The new pair he was using when I last saw him emitted no creaking sound and appeared as comfortable as though they had been worn a month. Their prciecesso'rs. he told me, had been in constant use for eight months. He obtains the skin from the bodies of negroes which have been dissected in one of our big medical colleges. The best leather is obtained from the thighs. The soles are formed by placing several layers of leather together. The shoes are fash ioned by a French shoemaker of this city, who knows nothing of the true character of the leather, but who often wonders at its exquisite smoothness and says that it excels the line"st 1'rench calfskin. Do nit for a moment think that this doctor lresc:ts an exceptional case of one who tn tin human skin to a practical use. 'e=i :al students frequently display a great aric: y of articles in which the skin or bones of some dissected mortal has been grewsomely utilized and in bursts of generosit y they sometimes present these to their fr:nds, who prize them highly One of the cudest dutdes in town carries a match safe covered with a portion of the skin of a beautiful young woman who was found drowned in the Delaware river. It still retains its natural color. Another young man with whom I am acquainted carries a cigar case made of negro skin, a ghastly skull and cross bones appearing on one sile in relief. One of the best known surgeons in this country, who re sides in this city, has a beautiful instru ment case entirely covered with leather made from an Afri::an's skin. A young society fady of this city wears a beautiful pair of dlark slippers, the remarkable lustrousness of whose leather invariably excites the admiration of her friends when they see them. The young doctor who presented them to her recently re turned from an extended foreign tour, and he told her that he had purchased them from a Turk in Alexandria and that he did not know what sort of leather they were made of. but he supposed it was the skin of some wil animal. As a matter of fact, the skin came from a negro ca daver which once was prone on a Jeffer son college dissecting table. The rosettes on the slippers were dleftly fashioned from the negro's kinky hair. -Philadelphia News. A Dot in the China Sea. The little island of Pootoo, one of the Chusan group, about 150O miles from Shanghai and forty from Ningpo, is a beautiful little (lot in the China sea, some four miles square and sacred to the priest hood and worship of Buddha. Perhaps the main object of the Chinese pilgrim in visitin:; Pootoo is to hear what the oracle has to say at this temple; for a fortune told here is supposed to be de lineated by the great Buddha himself. Chinese pay handsomely for these mani festations and every white man doing the islandl is supprosed to have his fortune told. The business costs about two or three dollars. and is marked with considerable ceremony and ingeniousi'ess. The great golden idol of the temple h.olds in his right hand a sort of co'rnuco pia lilled with numbered bamboo sticks. On payment of the fee the officiating priest makes obeisance to the deity and wav-es incense before him, which is fol lowed by some hidden machinery making the hand rat tle up the sticks and drop two or three. These are reverently picked up and the combination deciphered, written out on fancy paper and handed to the cus tomer. The writer has before him one of these manifestations translated verbatim by a Chinese office boy. Though rather ob scure. it is. not altogether devoid of an el ement of tihe eneouraging and poetic. It runs thus: "The joss say you come the time au tumn. I tell you I compare you as a stork: then yotu get fair wind you fly up to heaven: no. any bird can pass you." San Francisco Chronicle. An Afghan Execution. The Pioneer newspaper gives an ac count of the execution of Tuimur Shah, the ringle:(ier oif ile recent Hierat mutiny.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Iolmes during th13 busy years of his life, it is said, was ac custoliled to rest his brains by working with his hands. Under the great library table was a -naller on4". whcah was a min iature workshop, fitted with a turning lathe and tools, with which the poet made boxes, b,rackets and toys for his friends. The little shop moved on a tiny rail way track in the floor. so that on the ap proach of a visitor who could not appre ciate "jircracks." the doctor could push the table. tools and all, under the larger one entirel out of sight. The majority of brain workers have had some pursuit. taste or handicraft which relieved the tension on the brain of steady application in one direction. Sometimes. as in the case of Mr. Glad stone's tree ch:opping or Mr. Hawthorne's potato digging. it was severe physical ex ertion that gave rest to the mind, but oftener it was the enmploymeut of the fin gers and brain in solme lighter work than the daily craft.

In Japan children's shoes are made of blocks of wood secured with cords. The stocking resembles a mitten, having a separate place for the great toe. As these -hoes are lifted only by the toes, the heels make a rattling sound as their own ers walk, which is quite stunning in a crowd. They are not wi'n in the house, as they would injure the soft straw mats on the floor. You leave your sloes at the door. Every house is built with refer ence to the number of mats required for the floors, each room having from eight to sixteen, and in taking lodgings you pay so much for a mat. They think it extravagant in us to require a whole room to ourselves. The Japanese shoe gives perfect free dom to the foot. The beauty of the hu man foot is only seen in the Japanese. They have no corns, no ingrowing nails, no distorted joints. Our toes are cramped until they are deformed and are in danger of extinction. They have the full use of their toes, and to them they are almost like fingers. Nearly every mechanic makes use of his toes in holding his work. Every toe is fully dev-loped. Their shoes cost one penny and last six months. Merchant \World. City Man in the Country. The average man. city born and raised. is only too apt to regard somewhat con teuiptuously the simple art of the coun tryman as he follows the plow or hews the oak into well balanced rails, lightly imagining such tasks of easy acquire mert and on a level with the rural intel lect. and the sp)ectacle that he p)resents when lhe would go and do likewise is of ten laughable. There is nothmng, in fact. so calculated to shake the confi dence of the young man who goes west to embark in farming or some kindred pursuit as the finding of his unfitness for some of the simplest manual tasks. He will discover that his superior metropoli tan knowledge avails him but little and is ightly held by those about him-in short, that he is as unsophisticated in his new surroundings as would be the yokel in the ity. He learns that even such despised work as currying a horse or driving a nail requires knowledge, and the chances are that if lie is sensible his sense of toleration will be appreciably strength ened and his horizon widened before his palms are fairly hardened and he has grown accustomed to his new conditions. -Globe-Democra.

Experiment with a Blind Person. "I stood in an aisle." said Mr. Har rison of the Institution for thme Blind. when a blind boy was walking toward me, and just as he came opposite 1 put up my hand before his face. It brought him up short. and he flung his head l'ack to avoid the obstruction. I did not touch him with my hand. nor did I speak, nor give any other indlication of my presence.

Last year the ratio had fallen I s per~ cent. This shows at a glance the v-aiue of sy-stem Etighly Esentiai Oi'y. I came across a queer old nshmongcr at Quincy nmarket. the other day, who had for sale a most curious variety of oils ob tained from tinny inhabitants of the deep, most of which I had never heard of in my life before. lie kept then on a long shelf. in a row of enormous glass bottles. Of the contents of many of them, he said, apothecaries bought large quantities for medicinal purposes. In No. 1. he ex plained, was porpoise oil, c'.erived from the jawbilte of that interesting animal, which for lubrict'ati:g watch machinery is un equaled. The big suniish of the sea sup plies an oil-exhibited in jar No. 2-that is highly recommended for rheumatic pa tients. and in the treatment of this con plaint is also etployed--see jar No. 3 the oil obtained frout the fat that lies be neath the turtle's upper shell. The oils tried out from the entrails of eels and pickerel are frequently prescribed, so the vender of fish declared. for deafness. The skins of eh:. by the way, are a sovereign cure for cramps if tied around the waist. More than half of the big bottles were filled with cod liver oil. Of this the pro duction is, of course, far greater than that of all the rest combined. The proce"ss of relinting it, I ant told, is quite elaoirate. To this-by far the greatest lish market in the United States - many millions of livers are brought every season by salty trawlers. who sell them at the docks to manufacturers' agents. ''he crude oil is passed through boiling water, so that it may be thorough ly cooked. and then poured into canvas bags. These bags are squeezed beneath hydraulic presses. the lard like stearine remaining insde, while the oleine oozes out ready to put up for the market. This cod liver oil, of the best quality, can be obtained from the manufacturer by any one who cares to bring his own receptacle at $1.2~> per gallon. Apothecaries charge about this per quart. Among the rarest of the fish products exhibited by the old market, man was melon oil-so called be cause it has the fragrance of the musk melon. It is a secretion in the nose of a pilot whale, and is the best lubricant known-short of porpoise oil-for delicate machinery. Its congealing point is so low that it remains liquid with the ther morneter at zero. Another curious oil, which is so susceptible to cold that if placed in a temperature wh,re ice melts it will freeze, is extracted fron the fat at the base of the forelegs of the Indus river crocodile. It is a famous leather dressing. -New Orleans Picayune. Riding on an Engine. You will never find me riding on an en gine simply for the sensation of watching the roadway. At one time I had a regu lar passion for that kind of thing, and in every case where a permit could be ob tained I rode in the cab. It was on the Burlington two years ago that I received a lesson which will not be forgotten. The engineer and fireman were in their cus tonmary seats, and I was on the right side leaning against the cab, chatting with the men. Something led inc to inquire how many ways of escape were open in case of an accident. The engineer, Jim Goodwin. ioked around and gravely an swered: "Only two," nodding at the win dows. "What is the third man to do?" was my next question. "Be crushed by the tender.' was the laconic reply. You bet. I thought a good deal, and at the next "-ition, Red Oak, I think I told Jim tl::.: I go back to the coach, chances were to. slim on the footboard. Jim shook hands, remarking that lie never liked to see a friend in the cab. You may call it a presentiment if you please, but that talk saved my life. In the course of another hour we ran into a car that stuck over the end of a switch. Jim slapped on the air brake. threwv over his lever. and went otut of the window, and his fireman jumped on the other side. The engine was ditched and the tendler piled right into the ah, where I would have been crushed. My friend 'Jim sprained his ankle, broke one arm and w'as terribly cut about the head, although none of his injuries were fatal. Now 1 ride in the place assigned to passe'gers.-T. L. Granby in Globe-Dem ocrat. Queen Christina's Tact. A wvell known poet of Spain, deservedly famous for his work, was at the same time a man of most advanced radaal opinions. and waged such bitter and open war against the regency that he was at last arrested, tried and exiled. He was but scantily endowed with the world's goods. and the wife and children lhe left behind soon fell into absolute poverty. The poet petitioned Queen Christin1 for pardon in their behalf, and was at once permitted by her to return to Spain and to his family. He obtained an audience andl went in person to tender his thanks to the sovereign and offer the expressions of his gratitude and homage. He was graciously treated, less as the enemy that was than the future friend. Suddenly the queen said: "You are not rich. senor: literary men of merit seldom are, and you have a large family, have ou not?" '-I have six children, your majesty." "Six?" continuedl the qumeen; "then there are three for you an:l three for mie."

'1 .e native born American is the worst waiter of them all. lie conies to the busi ness through misfortune, and lie is a dis tustedl. disheartened and thoroughly disa greeable man. He is bound to show his contempt for the work by slamm:ing the dishes upon the table, growvling at the guests, grumbling at any extra service, and accepting his tips without thanks. There are isome good waiters of almost every nationality under the sun except Americans. Sonic people might think the college boys who serve the tables of thc mountain hoitels in summer wvere an ex ceptioin. but the way they putt food on the tables of a soanmer hotel in the mountains is not wvaiting.

Ils.. who had served as surgeon in the Fourteenth Illinois infantry during the war. lie first suggested the idea in Feb ruar-, 1866. Published accounts state that Decatur, Ills.. was the birthplace of the order, but the only living comrade of the four who were present at the first muster and mutually took the obligation, according to the ritual Dr. Stevenson had prepare<l. says that it was founded at Springfield. The first formal organization of a post occurred. however, beyond question, on April 6, 1866. at the village of Decatur, wiich contained only forty-three Union soldiers. Among the originators of the Grand Army of the Republic were Messrs. Col trin and Pryor, proprietors of The Deca tur Tribune. and their compositors, who printed the first ritual of the Grand Army, as written by Dr. Stephenson. Soon after Post No. 2 was formed at Springfield. and others were quickly in st:tutedl throughout Llinois. Wisconsin, Indi.na. Ohio, Iowa and Missouri. On July 12. 1866. the first department encampment was held at Springfield, Ills. John M. Palmer was elected department commander. -New York Herald. P el n< o P P r .i - C:3 1 G RAVES?
