A Talk With an Old Hide and Leather
Dealer.
Terleiles of llldn Brought lo New York City—A
Itiilc ol White 31 ud From hdU-PwIn nt the
Trnili^-KiikHia Leather, Imported and Home
Undo.
"Come into the hide house," said Mr.
Mel Horton, as he led the way into a very
spacious receiving room for untanned
hides down in the “Swamp," where the
Jeuther men most do congregate. Hun
dreds and thousands of hides were there,
but the odors of “Arnby the Blest” were
afar off.
“Nearly 100 varieties of hides come into
this city. By varieties I mean skins from
different countries or localities. The man
ner of curing, the form of package, the
qnality of the grain—rill these are differ
ent. A good judge will tell at a glance
whence the hides come. Some of them
are so expert that they can tell you not
only the country which produces the
hides, but where there are several ship
ping points on the same river, like the
Vara in South America, they can ut a
glance locate the point from which tlio
goods were shipped. Europe, Africa,
Asia, Australia, North, Central and South
America all contribute to the leather
supply of the United States.
“Any time that you sec a halo of white
mud carted about town you may under
stand that the heathen Hindoo of eastern
India has sent over lots of mud and a
small amount of leather making material.
Yon see the hides are daubed with a mix
ture of clay and lime, called chuenam, to
keep the Insects out. There are fifty hide*
In a bale, and the purchaser expects them
to average thirty pounds. Well, tiny
always do. Mud Is cheap out there and
the honest Hindoo is absolutely careless
of the amount used so long as the proper
average is obtained. Why, I have seen a
chunk of chnenarn as big as a table in one
of these bales.
“Those hides,” pointing to a heap, "are
Texnns. They are very large, you ob
serve, and are dried over a bush, a fence,
almost anything in fact. Ten of them
will make a load as big as a ton of loose
hay. Those hides here wo call the Bogota
book, owing to their place of origin and
the form of package. See, the hides are
folded book like and are about the size of
Hie Bnydell plates. The hides from Mon
tevideo and other South American points
ire usually folded so that they are about
nine feet long and two feet wide. You
can pick out the Orinoco hides, though,
reudily. They arc a little wider, not
quite so long, and are full of holes along
tho border mndo by the stakes which held
them lo tho sand while drying.
“Now look nt tlieso hides. They are
genuine buffalo skins from India. No,
not tho American bison, but the real
buffalo of the naturalists. They make
■ the cheapest quality of leather, but still
very useful. Their grain, you know, is
tho longest; hence tlieir great utility for
counters and insoles in boots and shoes.
Well, wo turn out over 100,000 of them
'annually alone, and there are others who
manufacture the leather in considerable
quantities.
“The greatest obstacle to overcome in
preparing the hides and shipping them al
most around the world to New York is the
Insects. Various methods aro employed
to destroy or frustrate tlieso pests. Tho
chueimm method 1 have explained to you.
It's hard to toll which is tho more ob
jectionable. the bugs or the mud. Tho
South African hides are what wo call a
dry cure. They are rendered very dry i>y
long exposure to the sun before shipping.
In that condition they resist (ho attac k c.f
insects very well. But tho most success
ful method, and that most widely used, is
in dipping t’.-.o hide in a solution of uv.-enlc
before drying. Thin solution is both a
preservative and r.n insecticide. Tanners
have good rea: on to prefer this stylo of
rare. Hides so treated will weigh fully
,50 per cent, mica when tanned into loath
'd’, while the chuenam hides lose from 10
to 13 per cent, in weight.”
“Where do you get tho best hides?”
“The only good hides route from tho
temperate zone or from regions sufficiently
elevated to possess e similar climate.
Healthy cattle there have thick, natural
hair and i kins of good grain. But in tho |
hot countries the hair Is very thin, and
the grain of leather made from sued hides |
is coarse and poor, i in tho other hand, in j
the cold regions, tho hair 'becomes very I
tine, and no thick as to run ho a kind of I
fur, which also destroys the grain of tho j
leather. In the temperate zones tho win- ]
ter hides are better than those taken in
tho summer. Tho grain of the leather is i
then ut its best.”
Leaving Frankfort street and the region
of solo leather, thu reporter sought a
large manufacturer of lino lent tiers, a
leading producer of the American “ilus-
jau.”
What kinds of leather do you make!'”
queried tho reporter.
“All of the liner kinds, including har
ness, enameled, colored, Russia, .and em
bossed leather for furniture and wall
decoration.”
“How does your Russia compare with
ike imported?”
"What do you mean when you say
•Russia?' Do you mean red leather? That,
ts what tho average American s eems to
understand by the term. But, in answer
to your question. 1 can truly say that our
leather is better than the genuine Russia.
Why? Because our tannage is better.
Lot me show you.’’
Two hides were brought: the one im
ported, the other home made Russia.
The reporter could detect no difference.
“The difference is positive and in our
favor,” resumed the leather ntnn, ns he
picked upi the genuine Russia, folded it
tightly, and vigorously rolled the fold be
tween finger and thumb. “Now look,”
said lie, as tie straightened out the fold.
“You see the surface is cracked and a
wrinkle remains. That is the weak point
in this article, which, by tho way, is of
the best quality. It is imperfectly tanned
and colored. Now try this piece of our
manufacture. There is not the slightest
abrasion of the surface, you observe, nor
does any wrinkle indicate where tiro
fold was. The color, too, is uninjured.
Uur leather is so much better tanned that
lit is soft and pliable und stands weal
much better."
“Tlie manner of producing this peculiar
odor is kept a profound secret, is it not?"
"Nonsense. Oil of spruce is the agent
which gives the scent to the leather.
There is no secret about it. The only
special knowledge required in the busi
ness is to know where to buy the best
hides, how best to tan them, and how to
sell to best advantage.”
“How is this peculiar grain produced?"
“The plain, colored leather is placed
'upon a board which lias a specially pre
pared rough surface. Elbow grease does
the rest. The workman presses and rubs
the leather with a block until it conforms
to the surface of the wood.”—New York

A Visit to Ancient Carthage.
But the thief interest in Tunis is in its
nearness to the site of one of the most fa
mous cities of the undent world. It is
blit u drive of six miles to the spot where
once stood Cartilage. In our visit we had
again the invaluable companionship of
our urchiBologlst. As we rode across the
plain it was very easy to see that the an
cient city had ample room to spread out
on every Hide except toward the sea,
where it had the most splendid position on
the very shore, presenting a long front to
the Mediterranean, while n headland
which projected Into the sea served us a
mighty breakwater, and formed a harbor
in which all the. Roman and Carthagenian
fleets could ride together. On that liead-
lnnd Scipio Africanus landed tho army
which, marching round to tho mainland,
took Carthage in the rear and finally cap
tured tlie city.
No city of antiquity has left so few ruimi
as Carthage. When it was taken by the
Romans the decree of implacable hate,
Carthago est delemln—Carthage must lie
destroyed—was Inexorably carried out.
Its merciless conquerors left but few mon
uments of Its former greatness. Indeed,
the only structures of Imposing size which
remain are tlie cisterns—great reservoirs
covered by arches—which supplied water
to the city, and these arc said to be of Ro
man origin. All that is distinctly Cartha-
genien is tlie mound on which stood the
ancient citadel, around which gathered all
tlie martial life of a city wliii ii had the
climax of its power and glory hundreds n£
years bufole Christ. Beneath that, tumu
lus lie buried the foundations of temples
and palaces, all mingled in one undistin-
gulshablo ruin.—Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean.
A Kntcutelrer's Methods.
“A rat that is caught by the tail will
not squeal," said a professional rat
catcher. “In those cases where they
squealed i bad caught them by the body,
not having time to get my favorite grip
on them. The rat, you sec, is paralyzed
for a minute by the light; he rises up and
tries to reach over it, and as he is doing
(hat I reach tho tongs in under him and
catch him by the tall If I can, and if 1
miss the tail I catch anywhere. When
lie's thrown into tlie sack he lies quiet;
they don’t squeal if you let thorn alone,
not even if there’s a dozen of them to
gether. They are content to lie still and
await* events rather than raise .a row;
they’re thinking all tho time maybe 1’ll
forget all about them. That's where
they’re off. Another tiling. A rat cannot
gnaw through a hanging ting—the bag
‘gives’ and the rat cannot gut hold. If
the bag Is laid down they can grip on the,
creases and gnaw their way out. in short
order, but a hanging bug is as good as an
iron sufe. A rat has only four teeth—
two above, which are about a half an inch
long, and two below, which ure about an
inch and a half and run clear through
tlie under jaw."—Chicago Tribune.

“People become bald from washing the
head,” said an English barber. “Tho use
of water on the scalp may make a man
feel buoyant for a time, but you will no
tire that the liuir becomes dry and brittle
afterward. Thu water and subsequent
nibbing with a towel dry up the oil in thu
roots, and in time the hair 1iecoir.es dead
and drops out. In England people never
think of washing tho hair. A good comb
and stiff brush aro all that aro needed to
keep (he head clean. The women often
spend hours in combing out their hair,
nnd that is the most laborious part of a
maid’s work. Instead of shampooing,
English barbers use a machine shaped
like a little barrel anil covered with stiff
bristles. Tills is run by a small gas en
gine, and will winnow every speck of dirt
out of a. man’s head in a few minutes. I
have beard there are some in use in this
city, but 1 lmvo never seen one."—New

The popular idea is that we put some
sort of greasy preparation on our faces to
make the burnt cork come off easily, said
a famous negro minstrel to a reporter; but
if a i.i:m wants to become permanently
black, all he needs to do is to grer.se Bis
fare before he blacks up. It would keep
him scrubbing all night, and lie would
have to take the skin off before ho wov.ld
get it out. Tlie preparation of the cork ia
simple. The property man puts ids corks
in a pan, pours a little alcohol over them,
lights the alcohol, iuul the heat does the
rest. A litllo rubbing between the hands
smoothes out tlie lumps and the grit.
There’s mn liter way to take out the grit.,
which is to drop the burnt cork into a tub
of water, nnd the grit goes t i the bottom.
AH lie has to do then is to skim off tlie
floating substance and he has the fine
particles. A little water i
a paste ready for use. -

THE REFORMER.
Before tho monstrous wrong he sets him down—
One man against a stone wailed city of sin.
For centuries those walls have been a-builcllng,
Smooth porphyry, they slope and coldly glass
Tlie Hying storm arid wheeling sun. No chink,
No crevice lets the thinnest arrow in.
He fights alone, and from the cloudy ramparts
A thousand evil faces jibe and Jeer him.
I/-t him lie down and die: what is the right,
And where is Justice, in a world like this?
But by and by earth shakes herself, impatient;
And down, in one great roar of ruin, crash
Watch tower and citadel and battlements.
Wiii’n tie- red dust has cleared, the lonely soldier
Stands with strange thoughts beneath the friendly
stars. —E. R. Sill in The Century.
OUR NEWSPAPER HEADLINES.
American Originality nnd "Smartness"
Astonish Our English Cousins.
In England sensationalism and anything
approaching “smartness” are avoided; but
in America the very opposite is the rule.
Indeed, ho much attention is paid to head
lines in that country that there is engaged
on tlie staff of every newspaper of iin-
portuncu a gentleman whose duty it Is to
supply headlined to articles and para
graphs. Somo of these headline writers
are paid large salaries anil have a wide
reputation.
Mr. George Augustus Sain once said
that American journalists rarely take any
thing seriously; they arc perpetually try
ing to be smart and amusing. Pew peo
ple who have oven an elementary knowl
edge of American newspapers will call
into quest ion the truth of Mr. Salu’u as :
sertion. The American journalist is
nothing if not original, and this ruling
passion is strikingly exemplified in the
very headlines.
We have, for instance, never seen but
one heading in English newspapers for
those simple announcements which never
full to interest female readers—we mean
the Births, Marriages and Deaths. In
America, however, they use such head
lines us Cradle, Altar, Tomb; Hatches,
Matches, Dispatches, and so on; while one
original'genius sums up life thus—Births,
Flirtations, Engagements, Breakings
Marriages, Divorces, Deaths. Then, in
stead of the familiar heading, Poetry, we
find Bays of the Latest Minstrels, or tho
Warblers’ Corner.
The- columns of clippings, however, af
ford scope for the most variety. One
editor heads his column of jokes, Render
unto Scissors tho Things that are Scissors-,
while another follows with Aut Scissors
aut Nnllus. One Thing and Another,
Drops of Ink, Various Topics, Microbes,
Nuggets, All Sorts, Faggots, Pressed
Bricks—these are a few others taken at
random. Hush is, however, perhaps the
most appropriate of the lot. These head
lines appear very strange to us; yet it
should not he forgotten that, nearly 1G0
years ago, Tlie Tillies published weak
jokes under tho extraordinary heed of
“Cuckoo!”—Chambers’ Journal.

“It’s one hundred dollars in your

mons to-day. O’Doherty, home rule mem
ber for North Donegan. moved, in behalf
of Parnell, to limit to three years the clause
providing for written notices of evictions
instead of the present method on the
ground that tho provisions of the clause
would only be required until the land pur
chase bill was passed. Balfour, speaking
for the government, declared to accept the
proposed modification. After a long and

further debate and the amendment was
lost, being 156 for and 212 against it.

“I hate to see a tmiu enter thnt room,”
said the city editor of a morning paper to
an applicant lor work. “Look at those
young men sitting round that table; they
aro nil waiting for me to give them assign
ments, and I lmve none to give. Why
don’t they come in here and suggest some
thing themselves?" Most city editors'
in New York have tho some feeling.
They arc overrun with applicants for
places, und two-thirds of those who pre
sent. themselves aro utterly unfit for
the work (hey wisli to do. The spr.ee
system of pay for local newspaper
work intensifies tho pressure. Any man
with paper and pencil can write, what may
be published and paid for, and so when a
man finds other doors closed against him
ho goes to a newspaper office. A good
tuaijy women seek tne same refuge. The
patience of city editors under the infliction
is marvelous. Perhaps it is partly ac
counted for by tho fact, that most of them
do not have to edit the manuscript turned
out by these beginners. It i- haudul

Shaving a Countryman.
Barbers have a trick for the country
men who visit the city and go into the
shop to got shaved. They want to get off
as cheap us possible, but generally they
have the entire bill to pay befi re- leaving.
For instance, the barber will take a piece
of black pomatum and smearing it on his
hand, run it through tlie countryman’s
hair and remark, “You need a shampoo.
Look how dirty your hair is. you must
have been about a smoke stack.” 'flint
