Making Leather,

A scarcity ofoak bark, hemlock,
sumac, and some other trees which
furnish tannin for making leather,
is generally deplored. The dis
covery Of tannin in vast abundan-
ce where il was least suspected is
more than a compensation for the
diminution of the old material.
Some time since a patent was
taken ont for tanning with astrong
decoction of leaves. But it would
be Just as ridiculous TO take ont
a patent for making meal with
two stones by machinery, or fry.
ing doughnuts in an iron pan.
Any body may steep dead leaves
without fear Of prosecution, and
tan hides by thousands. All dry
forests leaves yield tannin by boil.
ing. Oak and most If the hard
woods furnish the most profitable
leaves for curing leather. Make
the liquor strong and then sink
the skins in watts, and let them
remain till they are tanned. The
soft leaves, when deprived thus OF
their astringent qualities, make an
admirable fcrtilizing pulp for
delicate garden plants or Indeed
wherever q rich manure is requir-
cd.

DAYS Past and Gone.

Who has not thought Of those
days, when they were children and
at home, parenls to care for theml
and as We grow older and reflect
on bygone days, we almost wish
for them to return; and as we
mediate we think that we will
return to the place of our child
hood, and when we reach there
and fluid everything 80 changed,
o! how sad is our heart rs we
first visit the old homestead. That
kind father, loving mother, dear
brother and sister are they there2
No,they are gone. Some are borne
to that land whence no traveller re.
turns. Others have journeyed to
different lands. We feel sad and
turn away. From thence We will
60 to the old school room new
and strange faces meet lis there,
perhaps they will speak kind
~ordo but all is sad to us, be-
cause they are not the dear ones
that we were wont to greet there.
Teacher, pupils, as many in num-
Der as there were in days Of yore,
when we were permitted to an
swer "present" at role call. The
duties of the day are through, land
they are to go to their several
places of abode, and the good
nights are spoken; and again we
sigh, and cannot express our feel
ings in any better language than
using the words of the Apostle /:
"Old things arc passed away, be-
hold all things are become new"
and 80 we, too, are passing away,
we are going to orr graves, and
may il be in peace, and when the
angels bid US welcome over 1t will
be Christ's mission, and would we
wish to stay it2 No. he is pow.
erful, and when lie speaks all
things must stand forth, and if our
work here is such as will pass us
in the gates, We will hear the
voice of our Savior bidding rs
welcome. MAUD CATELY,

AT Washington, in the Circuit
Court, Judge Humphreys, a rath-
er amusing case was tried. The
facts are that some months since
Mr.. Kaufman ordered a pair Of
ehoes from a Mr.. Kieseclser, and
when they were finished he re-
fused to pay Tor them, on the
ground that they did not fit. The
shoemaker finally sued before a
Justice of the Peace, and judg-
ment being given for the shoema-
ker, the other party appealed.
The case came up, and the ques-
ton involved being as to the shoes
fitting properly, the plaintiff was
suffered eto try them on in court,
and he did so, bnt remarked, at
ter getting them on, that they hurt
his feet very much. The Judge
ruled that a man had a right to
order what lie wanted, and re-
marking that tight or i'll fitting
boots or shoes were very trying,
said that a party was not obligt d
to take aud pay for those which
didnot come up to.the requirements
ease and comfort, and a verdict
was rendered for the defendant.
1t was remarked by some Of the
older members of the bar that the
late Justice Beaver, Of George
town had a similar. case in that
city about thirty years ago, and
required the witness to try on the
boots, and made up his judgment
after inspecting the fit.

A VERY AIRY COSTUME. The
latest French made dresses are
dresses no more; they are mere
drapiugs with tearfully low necks
absence of all sleeves, mere strap
going over the naked shoulder,
joining the dress at the small of
the back and the pit of the stom-
ach. The skirt is strangely and
wonderfully hung, II caps the
folds; it is caught high at the lap
or in the back, and is shaped tight
about the entire figure. From be.
meath this drapery streams out a
twoyard train, Outdoor costumes
are made, as far as the drapery lie
concerned, in the same style. These
fashions demand revolving pedes-
tails, ard what dancers term the
"slow movements" No dress of
this kind could be taken on its
owners back in a hurry anywhere.
Of course, corsets and good
many articles of underwear hith-
erto deemed indispensable
will have to be taken off for the
the Empire" waist. At a very
swell wedding reception lately,
the high toned bellies held their
arms like trussed fowls, to prevent
the silk and lace suspenders that
did duty as dress waists, from
failing off thoir shoulders. The
same bridal party were, to the
number Of a dozcn, photograph
ed, and if ! were to send a copy
mp to Connecticut, I'd not only
be prayed for in churches as one
lost, but I'D be liable to indictment
for sending indecent pictures by
mail. No gloves That's dread.
ful for nice looks. No corsets
That's bad for comfort, And no
waists to our dressesl and that's
going to be cool for summer, il it
possess no other decided advant-
age. -Ne,o York Letter.

UlhdDDV Persia,

The telegram announcing the
arrival OF the Shah Of Persia ut
ST. Petersburgh calls to mind a
series Vt Teheran letters, which,
have recently attracted much at
tention, in the Berlin Rreutz lei
tung. The descriptions given by
the correspondent Of that unhap.
py country are not only sad, but
really terrible. Confusion, decay,
misery, treachcry, corruption, aud
crime reign everywhere. The
Shah rnles like a tyrant; his Min
listers are but Wallets. The moet
Important officcs-for instance,

ces- are sold to the highest bid
der. Any ofthese Governors may
impose what taxes he likes, and
has arbitrary authority over life
or death. "There ars provinces"
says the correspondent, "where
the taxes amount to 50 per cent"
Under these circumstances the
agricultnrist will not work; he
tries only to produce what is alb
solutely necessary for his support,
for the surplus is taken from him.
Sometimes the whole harvest is
consumed, and nothing remains
over for the next years planting.
Those who reserve seeds keep Oh.
ly enough to SOW q small piece of
ground, If the rain fails to SGT in
at the right season the harvest
never, suffices for the wants of the

fearful famipes when mothers
have been known to devour their
own children. In Teheran, the
capital ofPersia, there were found
daily over 500 corpses on the
streets during the last famine.

More About HemlOCk Extract.

A letter from East Saginaw,
dated juno 9th, 1873, gives us the
following information In regard
to Hemlock Extract:
The extract factory at Farwell,
has been transferred to a Stock
Company, some alterations have
been made in tho factory, third
leach has been put in and bark
mill, which enables them to use
bark and boughs as they choose,
and adds considerable to the man.
ufacturing capacity daily. The
factory is in condition now to man.
ufacture twenty bbls por day OF
the hest extract. The factory has
been laying still for some time, on
account Of the repairs going; but
it is expected to start mp this
week. Alter it gets running the
people Of ueraey, and other towns
on this road will have a chance to
see a good factory in actual oper-
alton, turning out from fifteen to
twenty bbls per day, ofas good ex.
tract as ever went to market. Then
the people can sec for themselves
what is being done and what can
be done. Thon we shall aek the
people Of Hersey to take hold of
the business.
The LOOMS factory is making
fine goods and selling them at the
factory for 4 cents per TO-, a better
price than manufacturers ever ex.
pected to realize -much better,
one can see, than Il cents in Bos-
ton or New York.
1t is expected there will be a
factory running at Evart, inside
Of three months.

LONDON, JuEe 9.-The total
loss by'burning of the Alexand-
ria Palace is estimated at $3,OO0,-
600, insurance, 100000. The fire
was caused the carelessness of
workmen who were repairing the
zinc roof, No one was killak, as
reported, but several were injured.
The supply OF water was scarce,
hence the rapidity with which
the fire spread. Within half an
hour from the time the alarm was
given the entire structure was en-
velo ped in flames, and one by otie
the great domes by which it was
surmounted fell in. The large
organ was destroyed, but some
valuable pictures and other wocks
of art Were saved.

ing railroad intelligence: G.r p,
About six miles of new track
has been laid ut the upper end OF
the Grand Rapids 81 Indiana Rail
road this spring. Just now track
laying is not progressing very fast.
In a few days it will be resumed
vigorously. About 40 miles OF
the line north of Eyfe Lake, or
30 miles north of the end of the
track, is nearly or quite ready for
iron. There are about % or 30
miles of road bed TO DO graded to
finish the line to Little Traverse
Bay. Most of the work to be
doneis very light and will be lin
ishcd in very short time compar-
ativeIy, az 800 men are now at
work on the line. There is no
hint of continuing the line to the
north OF Little Traverse Bay this
summer 1t is supposed that no
work will be done further then to
Little Traverse Bay until after
the settlement of the ownership
of the Indiana road as between the
Continental which is building it
and holds q mortgage against it.,
and the Indiana company nomin-
ally owning it. Just when or DOW
this matter. will be settled, out
siders donot know.
