OLD TANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Leather Mafie In China S.000 Year*
Ago Has Been Found in Compara
tively Good Condition.
Originally skins wore cured by sim
ply cleaning and drying. Then it was
found the texture of the lqnther was
Improved by the use of smoke, sour
tnllk, various oils and the brains of
unlmnls themselves. Later It was dis
covered that certain astringent barks
and vegetables effected permanent
changes In the texture of skins nnd
stopped deeny. The ancient Egyptians
possessed this knowledge, for engrav
ings on their tonilm depict tho process
of tanning. In China specimens of
leathor hnve been discovered In com
pany with other relics that prove them
to be more than 3.000 years old. Tho
Romans used lent her which they
tanned with oil, alum nnd bark. Early
explorers In Ajnorlcn found tho In
dians wearing skins propnrod with
bufTolo dung, oil nnd clay.
No Improvement In the general
methods of preparing leather took
placo from tlifc most primitive times
until nbont 3700, .when the use of lime
to looRen the hhlr was Introduced. By
1820 English' tanners were attempt
ing to Introduce new methods by
which the tanning process could be
shortened. Ono of the pioneers In
these experiments was'.Tohn Burrldge,
the Inventor of the barkometer, an In
strument for determining tho strength
of tanning liquors.
In 1630 the first tannery In Amer
ica was built In Virginia. A.socond
one wns established n fow years later
at Lynn, Mass.
FIRST “BLUE LAW" EXPONENT
Emperor Constantine Laid Down
Strict Rulea for the Guidance
of Hit 8ubject Peoples.
Constantino, tho great Roman om-
peror, who ruled In 821 A. t)., was the
first ruler In Kuropo to Impose bluo
laws ppon the people. Oonstnntlne
wns highly religious, and b6 demand
ed strict observance of the Sabbath
throughout Ills vast empire.
He decreed that "Judges, Inhabit
ants nnd artificers" must rost on the
Sabbath. Ho excepted husbandmen
from this order, howovor, slneo “sow
ing wns a necessity nnd could not be
done on any oilier dny." Slaves could
not bo compelled work on tills dny,
by the emperor's decree. Should nins-
ters be caught In tho act of forcing
tliolr slaves to Inbor, a heavy lino, nnd
perhaps a Jail sentence would bq Im
posed: Children wore cmnnclpnted
from Inbor on tho Salibntb. Constan
tine also ordered bis vnst armies
wherever they might ho to devote tills
day to prayer. At the same time lie
set aside Friday ns n dny In which
prayer wns roqulrod of nil tho people.
Later lie extended Ills order to Include
Saturday ns a dny when the wheels of
Roman thdustry sjiould remain still.

The Prlco That la Set
The gods linvo sot n prlco upon
■every rent and noble pleasure. If you
would gain the favor of the Deity
you must be nt the pains of'worship
ing Him; If you would bo beloved by
your friends you must study to oblige
them; If you would bo honorod by any
■city you must be of service to It; nnd
If you would lie admired by all Greece,
■on account of your probity and valor,
you must oxert yourself to do her
some eminent service. If you would
render your fields fruitful and fill your
'arms with grain, you must labor to
■cultivate the soil accordingly. Would
■you grow rich' by your herds, a prop
er care must be takon of them; would
you extend your dominions by arms
•nd bo rendered capable of setting at
liberty your captive friends and bring
ing your enemies to subjection, you
must not only learii of those that are
experienced In the art of war, but ex-
■orelse yourself also In the practice of
■military affnlrs; and If you would ex
cel In tho strongth of your body you
must keep your body In duo subjec
tion to your mind and exercise It with
’labor and.pains.—Proiu tho “Memora-

- ” Straightening Wire.
Stray pieces of copper wire have
many uses, but It Is often necessary to
straighten out wire that hus already
been used before It can be employed
again. See thnt there are no sharp
bends or kinks In the wire and
straighten out by hand any of these
which are found. Fasten one end of
the wire to some firm anchorage, grip
tt In the vise If necessary. Loop the
other end of the wire around a ham
mer handle or similar instrument and
then pull out tt<e length of wire. Re
peat this operation as often as neces
sary. If the wire fs of soft copper tt
will stretch s little, which Improves It
“BUDDY” AND "DADDY.”
Exchange.
One evening not long ago we visited
one of tho swlmmin 1 hales.
It was great sport, just to sit on
the bank and observe the antics of the
bathers.
There were boys and girls, a few men
nnd a lady or two enjoying the healthy
sport.
Pnrtic.ulnrly we noticed a father with
hie little boy. The youngster could not
swim, but ho took daddy’s hand and
trustingly followed him into tho wnter.
What wns thoro to fear if daddy was
there and held hie hamlf True, he wns
a little timid and gasped when the wa
ter enme Up nround Ids chest—but he
wns bravo with the courage of complete
faith in Ids guide. When his father
stood him up and stepped back a few
paces, ho told the little fellow how to
use his hands nnd feet, and then bade
him “Swim to me.” He tried it. But
his head went under. Only for a mo
ment A strong hand caught him and
lifted him out, sputtering and spitting
and strangling—but smiliug.
It won’t be long until that boy will
bo able to care for hiniself in tho wntor,
and he will dive from daddy’s shoulder
nnd go under and grab his feet.
We predict that ho will not care to
‘slip off swimmin’,because he can
go with ilad—and, anyway, he feels so
secure with him.
When they came out of the water after
their swim n lady patted the tittle fel
low on the shoulder nnd said: “You
did fine. It won’t be long before you
cun go swimming alone. ’ ’
He gripped his futhor’s finger a bit
tighter and replied: “But I’d lots ra
tlier go with daddy.”
And it seems to us that many a fa
tlier and son nro missing some of the
best times of their lives. Undoubtedly
they would mutually profit if they would
pal together a little more. Get acquaint
ed with your chidren.
The love that never grows less is the
