How Seal Skins are Dressed.

When the seals have reached the kill
ing ground they are allowed a certain
time to rest and cool, after which about
one hundred are driven together into an
inclOsure, and the tittest are selected for
slaughter. The others are then allowed
to go down to the nearest water, whence
they make their way back to the sea.
The instrument of destruction is long
club of hard weod, with which they are
struck violent blow on the head. One
is usually sufficient. A long, sharp knife
is then thrust into the vitals, and the
carcass laid aside and so till about one
thousand have been slain, when the wor X
of skinning commences. When taken off,
the skins are salted and sent home in
that condition. On their arrival here
they are properly cured, and then comes
the preparation needed for their conver-
sion into what is popularity called the
"seal skin" 1t is difficult to conceive
how that beautiful article of dress can
ever be manufactured out of the unat-
tractive object the skin presents at this
juncture. 1t is hard and unyieiding as
a board, and stiff, coarse hairs cover the
fur so completely that its very existence
might not be suspected. The problem to
be solved is how to separate the hair
from thu under fir. For many years
each individual hair was plucked out
severally at, of course, a great expendi-
ture of time and money, until lucky
| accident revealed to the dressers the fact
that the roots of the hair were more deeply
seated than the roots Of the fur. Now
therefore, after preliminary preparations
the skins are laid, hair downward, upon
wooden block with a curved surface
and pared down with knife until the
roots of the hairs have been cut through
and the skin is very little thicker than a
kid glove. All the coarser hair can then
be bruised off with the hand, leaving the
fur, which is then seen to be arranged
in small curls of light brown color, va
rying slightly in shade in the parts. In
consequence nearly all seal skim is
dyed before it is sold, and in the process
of dying the curls untwist themselves
and the fur becomes smooth and ready
for use. The government of the United
States imposes revenue tax OF 81 9
skin, to which must be added to the cost OF
maintenance of an establishment in sc
remote spot; but even allowances hav.
ing been made for this and other ex
penses, in Europe the price demanded
for a jacket must still be regarded as ex
trRvagant.

I" Buy" Bidders.

D"t
The story is told of married lady,
frequenter of auctions, who had set heI
heart on certain costly japanese vase
offered at recent sale. She had spoken
TO her husband about it, but he had dis
couraged her thinking of it, saying it
would be too high. But she went to the
auction unknown to him; and he, un-
known to her, dropped during the morn
ing, thinking that he would strain a
point, and buy it, if possible, to please
her. The vase was put up, and the bid
ding was lively for time. AT last there
were but two bidders, and both were in
dead earnest. The excitement ran high :;
the figure reached was far above the real
value, but both persisted. At last one
of the two gave out, and she went home
to tell her husband of her chagrin, only
TO learn that she had been bidding against
him, and that the vase was hers at a ruin
Gus price.

been received by the governor from the
sheriff of FL Paso county, stating that the

NEWS OF THE WEEK,
TERRIBLE CALAMITY,

An explosion, Immediately followed
by fire, occurred in the candy mandatory
OF Greenfield & Son, Barclay street, New
York, about five o'clock on the afternoon of
the goth. The boiler, which was in the
basement burst, tearing away the entire
front, five stories in height, scattering the
wreck in all directions. The employees of
the factory were principally young girls and
boys, ranging from eight to twenty years of
age. The number of persons in the build
ing at the time of the accident is estimated
at 10, including twenty visitors and Gus
toners. The greatest sacrifice of life was
among the young girls who. were employed
in sorting candies, in a room directly over
the boiler. The lowest calculation places
the number of bodies in the ruins at fifty
Seventeen wounded, mostly boys and girls,
were taken to the Chambers street hospital
The loss OF property is estimated at $500, COO.

THE FIRESIDE.

With what live intelligence the fame
CLOVIS and leaps up i'll spires OF Pickering red,
And turns the coal, just now 50 dull and dead,
To a coIspanion! Not like those who came
To weary me with iteration tame
OF idle talk in shallow fancies bred
From doleful moods the cheerful fire has led
Ny thoughts which now their manlicr strength
reclaim;
And like some frozen thing that feels the sun
Through SohtudeS of winter penetrate
The frclic currents through my pulses run;
While hutIering whispers soft aud intimate
Out OF the ruddy ire-light OF the CRATE
Make talk, love, music, poetry in one.

demolishing the old sluice dam in the
Rhine, oak which had fain for 146 years
was found to have become possessed of
the characteristics of ebony. The modif-
