Two Pittsburg shoemakers recently
tried the experiment of making boots
fiom human skin. BY arrangement
with medical college they secured
skin from the stomach and back of a
man killed suddenly by accident, tan.
ned it nicely, and made two pair of
boots therefroIu, the soles being made of
ordinary leather. They proved to be
warmer than boots made from the skin
of calf and it is believed that they
will be every bit as serviceable. SO the
utilitarian spirit goes on. They are
using the bones of the mummies for
knife handles and their dust for fertilia-
ers. Nov they want to use us for boots
and shoes {the parents thus clothing the
children IN new way. and pretty soon

ately used FOR making soap for the sur

The readers of The HERALD have been
advised from time to time of the re-
markabie discoveries of DR.. Schiieman
IN Greece. His latest important dig
into the earth has brought to light the
tomb of Argos, in which was found a
large golden mask and an enormous
'breastplate of gold He also found the
body Of man, wonderfully preserved,
especially the face The head was
round, the eyes large, and the mouth
contained thirty-two fine teeth. There
is. however, difficulty about presery-
ing the remains. There were also found
fifteen bronze swords with great golden
hilts--a mass Of immense golden but
tons splendidly engraved ornamented
the sheaths of the swords; also two
great golden goblets, and a great auan-
tity of other objects in gold, articles in
earthenware, a carved wooden box. sev.
erai articles in chased crystal, ten large
cooking utensils of bronze, but no traces
of iron or glass.
