How Kid GloYes are Made.

In certain parts of Europe the rearing
of kids for the sale of their skins is an
important business, those which command
the highest prices, and are regarded as
superior to all others, being the French,
called in the market peaur nati0nales.
By some the fine quality Of those skins
is attributed to peculiar virtue in the
wild vines upon which the young ones
feed in the pasturage which they frequent;
this, however, being a popular error, as
their value is simply the result Of the
care with which the little animals are
reared during their life of four or FIVE
weeks. They are not allowed to roam at
large, as such license would imperil the
evenness of their skins, which would be-
come scratched by rubbing against stones,
or passing through hedges. They are,
besides, deprived of all food except milk,
as eating grass would tend to make their
skins coarse. Consequently they are
kept under wicker coop, from which,
at regular hours they are led to suckle
the mother, and this continues until they
are killed, at the endof four or five weeks.
The younger they are killed the thinner
the skin, but, of course, the smaller they
are the less valuable, too, especially
when they are only large enough to allow
of single buttoned gloves, while the de.
mand is all for two, three and four-but-
toned gloves. By rearing the kids in the
manner just described, larger skins are
obtained which are as fine and delicate
as those of younger ones of other coun-
tries where they roam at liberty. AS
France produces the best skins, so Paris
cxccls all places in France where gloves
are manufactured, and an adept in the
trade can select Paris s-made glove from
among hundreds made elsewhere.
