An Accomplished American
Abroad.

[ crossed the British channel with a
party of about twenty who had crossed
the Atlantic together being from New
York and England. Among them was a
New England soap boiler, sn exhibitor
at the Paris exposition, believe, who
was much looked up to by his COM
paniors, owing to singular talent be
posssessed-that of snoring. He car.
ried about with him in his pocket book
clipping from an Iowa newspaper, de-
scriptive OF the exploits of an inveterate
snorer in sleeping car, and this extract
he was made to produce and read in all
companies with full sternutatory accom-
paaiment, and very amusing it was.
He had developed snoring into a fine
art, and, indeed, there is no wonder
that he had attained considerable per-
fiction, since, as he con6ded to me, he
had been made to 20 through the per-
tormance at least six times day on the
voyage across. At Dieppe I lost sight
of this accomplished artist, but not for
long. About thirty minutes to eleven
the same evening [ had just gone to bed
in my botel. My room, along with
about dozen Others, opened upon a
covered balcony, l had just dropped
off to sleep when a stentorian snore awoke
the stiffness of the night and me with it.
Then came burst of laughter, then
another snore and more laughter. I at
once recognized the mellihuous notes of
my saponaceous friend. Getting out of
bed, slipped cut on to the balcony,
and, guided by the snoring gamut, went
along to lighted window, through
which were visible the nasal artist, his
admiring and untiring audience, and
sundry bottles which contained or had
lately contained something stronger than
vin ordinair. After listening for few
moments, [ returned to my room, and as
I passed along the gallery noticed that
almost every door was opened to admit
of the protrusion of more or less dis
heyeled head, from which proceeded tor
rents of objurgation, either in the gut
tural tones of the Gaul or the softer but
not less expressive accents of the Anglo
Saxon.-T Paris letter.

"The Missing Link"

hear (says London CORES pondent)
that Prof. Huxley, and Mr.. Stanley, the
African explorer, have been settling 70.
themselves the much-yexed qustions Of
the missing link" The details will nc
doubt be furnished in Mr. SANKEY'S book,
which is expected to appear early next
month. Meanwhile the following ia.
stallment may interest your readers
On one occasion the travellers observed
that the street of village through
which his route lay was ornamente d
with rows OF peculiar looking skulls. He
was told that the quondam owners of
the skulls had been used for MAMA
(food) and that the race lived in the for>
ests OF the country. The villagers also
called the wood dwellers 'Soko.' Mr.,
Stanley, 1t seems mad not the opportu.
nifty to procure live specimen, but
procured a Soko' skull and skin. The
skull he lately forwarded to Prof. Hulk
ley, who appears to have decided on
ranking it with the human skull. The
skin, however, is declared to be that of
monkey. The Soko' may turn out to be
only a monkey, but it seems clear that
there is more of the man about him than
there was in the famous joe the chin
panZee, whom the late Mr.. Manteiro
introduced into England, and who died
not long ago at the sZoo.''

CEMENT FOR IRON AND LEATHER
The metal is warmed and then washed
with hot solution of gelatine or glue,
and the leather previously stepped in a
hot solution of gall nuts; pressed upon
the surface and allowed to cool. Per.
haps, where Russia or other fancy leather
are used, it would be better to apply the
infusion Of gall nuts to the flesh or rough
side of the leather, by means of sponge,
