Hints to wearers OF Kid Gloves.

1t is not generally known, or does not
appear to be known, even by those who
wear kids almost exclusively, that the
durability and set of these articles de-
pend very much upon how they are put
on the first time Two pairs may be
taken from one box, of exactly the same
cut and quality, and by giving different
treatment when first putting the hands
into them, one pair will be made to set
much better, and to wear double, or
nearly that length of time, longer than
the other. When purchasing gloves,
people are usually in too much of a hur-
ry; they carelessly put them on, and let
them go in that way then, thinking to do
the work more completely at another
time. When this is the case person is
sure to meet with disappointment, for as
the glove is made to fit the hand the first
time it is worn, so it will fit ever after,
and no amount of effort will make sat
isfactory change. Never allow stretcher
to be used, for the gloves will not be
likely to fit as well for it. All of the ex-
panson should be made by the hands; if
the kids are so small as to require the
aid of stretcher, they should not be
purchased, as they will prove too small
for durability, comfort or beauty.
When selecting gloves choose those
with fingers to correspond with your own
in length, take time to put them on
working in the fingers first until the ends
meet ends, then put in the thumb, and
smooth them down till they are made to
fit nicely. A glove that sits well will
usually wear well, at least will wear bet
ter than one of the same kind that does
not fit well. When the ends of the fin
gers do not come down right, or when
they are so long as TO form wrinkles
upon the sides of the fingers, they will
chafe out easily; where the stretcher has
to be used to make the fingers large
enough, the body part will be so small
as to cramp the hand so that it cannot
be shut without bursting the seams of the
kids. Some recommend putting new
kid gloves into damp cloth before they
are put on and allowing them to remain
until moistened. With this treatment
they can be put on much easier than
otherwise, and will fit very nicely until
they get dry, but on second wearing there
will be an unnatural harshness about
them, wrinkling in spots, and they will
not set so perfectly as at first ! have
tried the damping process, and do not
approve of it.-Caaddidn Journal Of

The Elephant HannibaI's skeleton.

Thousands of persons throughout the
United States, who have gazed in wonder
upon the colossal proportions of Van
Amburgs famous elephant Hannibal, on
exhibition in this country forty-six years,
the largest specimen of the species ever
imported into this country or Europe,
viii be interested in the final disposal OF
his bones, which, we understand are TO
be added to the geological curiosities of
New York Central Park.
Hannibal died at Centerville, Md, in
about the ninetieth year of his age, in
Nav, 1866. The complete skeleton of an
elephant being very difficult to obtain,
the bones are correspondingly valuable,
and great precautions were, IN conse-
auence, taken to preserve those of Han
nibal. and under the charge of Albert
Townsend, the carcass was dragged to
field about mile from the village, and
large and strong mausoleum Of masonry
erected over il. There it was suffered to
remain until the flesh had wasted away
sufficiently to permit of the removal OF
the bones. SO great was the mass that
not until few days since was 1t thought
advisable to open the tomb.
To Mr.. Hyatt Frost director of the
menagerie, is due the conception Of the
idea Of making the unique and valuable
present to the city Of New York. Within
a few weeks the massive bones will have
been cleansed, transported to the Central
Park. and set up in the geological depart
ment. there to remain an object Of inter
est TO the victors until the tooth Of time

about Ohio men who were in Congress

Hon. Henry St John. She had not

to insert the appeal in behalf of the Pill

most heartfelt thanks in the name of the

mer great seat of glory.

further request on my part that you,
dear sirE, the representatives of our
committee in America, will not be dila-
tory in contributing as much as in your
power to this great object. myself
have distributed an appeal to all Israel
ties of this city, and expect, with Gods
aid, to meet with favorable results. Sir
Moses Monte6ore has also taken similar
steps for this important matter.
The condition of our brethren and
sisters is really lamentable, and greatly
to be deplored. The late crop has
proved unfavorable; there is also a lack
of water, and an all-consuming famine
is impending over our holy city. in fact
we need no further conviction, the cry
to us is very great, and we will do all in
our power to ameliorate their condition.
| will always be glad and ready to
receive and attend to all contributions

Should you feel inclined to censure
Faults you may in others view,
Ask your own life, e'er you venture,
If that has not failings too.
Let not friendly VOWS be broken;
Rather strive a friend to gain;
Many word in anger spoken
Finds its passage back again.
Do not. then, in idle pleasure,
Trifle with brothers fame,
Guard it as valued treasure,
Sacred as your own good name.
Do not form opinions blindly;
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those of whom we thought unkindly
Oft becomes our warmest friends.
