Wonderful are the changes that have
been effected OF late years in the manu-
~facture OF leather by the use Of chemi-
Gals and machinery in place Of the old
fashioned tan-pits and the slow manipu-
lation Of the currier and tanner. II
some Of our old leather manufacturer
could be resurrected-men who were
accustomed TO soaking their hides for
years and turning them assiduousIy ut
certain seasons-how they would stare
70 see the present process. But every
day we hear something new in this d.
rection. A joint stock company was
recently formed in Detroit for the pur-
pose Of tanning leather in one hour.
We give the information for what il is
worth, but II certainly does look like
sleight Of hand. The process Is a chem
ical n performed by the action Of GER
tain inexpensive materials, the COM
pounding Of which in the right proper
tions Is q secret. 1t is claimed that
robes, tanned with the hair on, are as
soft as the finest wool; hides OF the
deer, horse, dog, ETC., are smooth and
soft, while calf and kip show the texture
and grain which shoemakers most ad-
mire. No bark is required, except a
little to give the proper color to the
leather. Bark is worth IS to 80 a cord,
and about 200 cords are required to tan
1000 hides by the common method.
Two cords would be sufficient TO give
the proper color to the same number of
hides and the saving in this item will
be enormous. We understand that the
company are turning out from 1900 to
5000 hides per month. How the article
is wearing we have not been able to as
sertain, but shall watch the result with
interest.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

One OF the gentlemen from Bangor

down lwiths 'such,a thump upon the
Bible that the ensuing slip fell over

On reaching the, end OF the second head
he looked for the next, but it could not

several times, got; quite bewildcred,
and could not utter another word. At
