Alligator Leather.

Twenty years ago the secret OF tan
ming the alligator hide was revealed 10
a partner of a Boston boot and shoe
house by an old Canadian. The busi-
ness of collecting and tanning the skins
was at once commenced, and now from
1900 to 10000 are tanned yearly, which
are consumed by boot and shoe manu-
facturers IN every portion OF the nlted
States. as well as exported to London
and Hamburg. In the foreign trade,
however, the French are formidable
rivals, owing to their superior methods
of tanning, in which, as nation, they
beat the world.
The alligators formerly came almost
entirely from Louisiana, and New Or
leans was the great center of the busl-
ness. Owing TO their lndIscllmInate
and injudiciOas slaughter, however, the
animals became thlnned ont, and bat
little'business in that line Is now done
in the Crescent City. The Florida
swamps and morasses are now the har-
vest fields, and Jacksonville, IN that
State, is the great depot.
The animals are killed in great num-
bers by the passengers of river steam
BoaUs. though there are hunters who
make a regular business of their cap
ture. The aliigatOrs often attain a
length of is to 20 feet, and frequently
live to a fierce old age. The hides are
stripped OFF, and tine belly and sides,
the only portions tit for use, are packed
in barrels, in a strong brine, and shipped
to the Northern tanner, who keeps them
under treatment for from SIX to eight
months, when they are ready 10 be cut
up.
SO far the leather has been principally
used in the manufacture of boots and
shoes. for which IT Is especially adapted;
and, 10y reason o. the pleasing variega-
tiOn of its surface, makes most excel

Seventy years ago carpets were rarely
seen in American families of the middle
classes, a they are now rarely found in
Germany. DIR. Lyman Beecher gives an
amusing account of the autobiography
of his first carpet at East Hampton, l..
l. His wife spun a bale of cotton and
had it woven. Then she fitted il to the
floor, sized it, and painted it in oils, with
4 bright border around it, and punches
of roses and other flowers over the
centre. She took also some common
wooden chairs and cut out figures of
gilt paper, gluing them on and var
nishing them The general effect was
very beautiful. The East Hampton
people were quite startled by the
novelty. One of the old deacons called
at the house, but stopped at the parlor
door, as if afraid to enter. walk in,
Deacon; walk in" said the minister
'Why, | cant, 'rhout stepping or it,"

Debt is the worst kind of poverty.
Dependence is poor trade to follow.
Deeds are fruits, words are but

s.Cufting a Dido"

This is phrase older than most peO-
pie imagine. Do you call to mind the
story of Dido, Princess of Tyre? Her
husband, Acerbas, priest of Hercules,
was murdered for his wealth by the
King of Pygmalion, brother to Dido.
The widowed princess was enabled TO
escape from Tyre, bearing with her
the wealth of her husband, and accom-
panied by number of disatlected
mobiles.
After a variety of adventures they
landed upon the coast of Africa where
Dido bargaIned with natives for as
much land as she could inclose in a
bnlfs hide. Selecting a large tough
hide. she caused 1t tO lie cut into the
smallest possible threads, with which
she enclosed large tract of country,
on which the city of Carthage soon
began To rise.
The natives were bound by the letter
of their bargain, and allowed the cum
ming queen to have her own way; and
after that. when any one played of a
sharp, trick, they said he had 'cut a
Dido" That was almost three thou
sand years ago, and the saying has
come down to our day.

double-breasted frock, or his woo,en
Jacket. And a man is doubly fool
who is i'm the habit of frequenting eve
ming parties, unless he is forced thither
in search of lady TO whom he is
attached, or unless he Is compelled to go
for his wife. A man who loves dancing
may be set down as fool; and the
fashion is greatly going out with the
increasing good sense of the age. Do
not say that he who lives at home, or
frequents clubs in lieu of balls, is a
brute, and has not proper respect for
the female sex: on the contrary, he may
respect it most sincerely. He feels that
a woman appears to most advantage
among those whom she loves. He thinks
her beautiful when she is at home max

her 10 be charming when she is singing
a simple song at her piano, but not
when she is screeching at an evening
party. He thinks by far the most yalu-
able part of her il her heart; and a
kind, simple heart, my dear, shines in
conversation better than the best of wit.
lie admires her best in her intercourse
with her family and friends, and detests
the miserable, twaddling slipslop that
he is obliged to hear from and utter to
herin the course of ball, and avoids
and despises such meetings.
