Nine Of Diamonds.

1t is fact well known in history that
the nine of diamonds has been called the
curse of Scotland, and the following reason
has been assigned for the fact. In the
distracted state Of the country during the
reign Of Mary, man, George Campbell
by name, attempted to steal the crown out
Of Edinburg Castle In this he was un-
successful, but managed to abstract nine
valuable jewels, and escaped safely to
foreign shore. To replace these, heavy
tax was laid upon the country, which the
poor oppressed people thought so great
grievance that they termed ii the curse of
Scotland and, until very recently, the
card itself bore the name of George Camp
bell in the Highlands. The second ex.
PLANTATION relates to the well-known massa-
ere of Glencoe. The mandate for this
cruel deed was then signed by the eldest
son of the Earl of Stair, who was at the
time the Secretary of State of Scotland.
The coat of arms belonging to his family
bears nine diamonds on its shield, and the
people, not daring to stigmatize the Master
of Stair as the curse of Scotland, applied
it to his armorial bearings The last ex-
plaDation relates to the battle of Culloden,
which extinguished the hopes of the Stuart
party, and was at the time considered a
national curse. The Duke of Cumberland,
who was known to have been gambler,
is said to have carried a pack of cards in
his pocket; and, when he had won the ia
nous field, he took out the nine of dia-
monds, and wrote his account of the victory

Economy.

The true economy of time and energy
is vast and most fruitful subject of study;
one that underlies cur whole prosperity,
national and individual. 1t contains many
problems for our solution, problems well
worthy of all the patient thought and sound
judgment we can bring to bear upon them.
How to decide wisely upon our life work,
how to fit ourselves to enter upon it; how
to concentrate the mind most effectively
and to relieve it most completely; how to
discover the proper alternative of labor
and rest, and the best methods of refresh.
ing and recrcating the powers for renewed
exertion-all these questions, and many
others, are involved in what many at first
sight appear so simple a matter and one
so easy of adjustment as the economy of
time and force.
Let no one, however, be discouraged by
these apparent complexities. If we but
admit them, and bend courageously to the
task Of unravelling them, we shall find
them one by one yielding to our efforts
The present danger of the age is that of
ignoring the difficulties, and resting salts.
fed if We only keep busy through the
waking hours 1t is a common expression
to use, in commencing an industrious per.
son, that "he never wastes minute
But We have yet to learn that waste has
larger significance than that of simple in.
action, and economy fuller meaning than
that of continuous labor. As in money,
so in time, talents and power, the truest
economy must always consist in using
them in such a way, and for such periods,
as will produce the largest and best results
of which they are capable. Such economy
is well worthy of being resolved into n
practical science, and made an essential
part Of education; and, unlike so many
other branches of study, it will have full
opportunity for an cvcr-progressive devel-
opment in the practical life of every con-
scientious man and woman. Philddd

The Way 70 Tan Sheep Skins.

Kid leather is usually made Of sheep
and lamb skins The flesh side is coated
with paste of thick lime water, and roll
ed up until the wool can be removed, when
the skins are subjected to the bran bath.
When taken from it and thoroughly cleans.
ed they are put into what is called the
" white bath, composed Of one pound of
alum to one gallon Of water, and about ono,
fourth pound of salt This solution is
made boiling hot, and the skins passed
through it successfully; after which they
are immersed and left in it for ten minutes.
A paste is then made by gradually adding
to this solution (and constantly stirring)
one and one-fourth pounds of wheaton
-four for each gallon of the solution, gent.
ly heated, and subsequently the yolks of
five eggs, and then incorporating the whole
thoroughly. The skins are put into this
paste and left twenty-four hours, after
which they are hung on poles and left to
dry for week or more, as may be neces-
sary. They are then softened by being
drawn across Stalking iron'--thc edge
of a shovel will answer-and may be po-
lished with smooth fat-iron, carefully
heated and managed in the same way as
that used by laundress. They will be-
come soft and white as snow. Color can
be impaired with dye stuffs as may be de-
sired. If the skins are wanted for mats,
robes or furs, omit the lining or branning,
and proceed at once to the alum and paste
bath. The above process is called "taw-
ing" A simple method for robes and
mats is merely solution of alum and salt,
but the drawing of dampncss is serious
objection to it. OF course, in all processes
where salt is used there will be dampness
to some extent.
