The Hide and Leather Boom.
Chicago Daily News !.

One Of the industries of the country
which felt the depression since 1873
most disastrously, is the hide and leath-
'er.. Yet there is scarcely another which
is 50 rapidly recovering from said de:
preston. In Boston. (which is great
hide and leather center, one leading
firm is said to have cleared square
profit of 100000 since the LIST of Sep
tember. Another firm, the 1Tapeler of
that city says. made $500 in one b,r-
gain last week, neither paying nor re-
ceiving any money except the amount
of profit. A few months since, Ameri-
can leather could be sold in England at
q profit; bnt since the prices have gone
up here, the foreign demand has mate
rally decreased. The demand in this
country is notably indicated by the fact
that one of the most influential broker
age firms in Boston disposed of 1900
sides of leather one day last week.

ONE Of the Nevada journals relates
that an Irish miner in the Comstock
lode was recently killed by an accident,
and in settling up his affairs it was
found that he possessed mining stock
worth about $500, which sum was sent
to his wife in Ireland. The very day on
which the draft for this sum was re-
ceived by the widow she was married to
a second husband. The coincidence
led to the question whether. she was
married for that small amount Of money
and to this reply: Certainly; there
are over four hundred and fifty men in
that portion Of Ireland vino would
marry the devils sister if she had q for
tune of ESQ in gold"

In London, on the Surrey side, many
of the ''horse-cars" are drawn by mules
and these mules come all the way from
Kentucky. There is a curious old law
still extant in Lond IN which forbids the
use of mules or donkeys for purposes
of traction, but nobody pays any atten-
ton to it. What we call in this country
the "bob.tail'' Car that does away with a
conductor, and requires that passengers
put their fare in a box, has been taken
to London and seems to be as popular
there as it is unpopular here.

The "Candee" Rubber Co., of New Haven,
Conn, is making new rubber boot, which is just
what outdoor men have long been looking for,
viz, one that is warranted. These boots are
called the E.95" Per Cent. Sterling Rubber
Boot. They warrant them three months, and
if your boot cracks Or gives way in that time,
you can secure new pair free of charge, pro
yided the boots have had fair usage.
That there may be no question about the three
months, when you buy the '95" Boots, the
storekeeper punches the date in the top of the
leg, in spaces provided for that purpose, and the
warrant begins from that date and cannot be
disputed. These "95" Per Cent. Boots are as
pure as can be made, and will last six months
hard wear. The exposed portions are doubled,
and the soles are half an inch thick of solid rub
Der, and will outwear three pairs of any other
rubber boots. Illustrated catalogues with full
particulars are supplied by the "Candee ?" COM
pany on application, or the boots can be seen in
most stores

How the "Pioneers" Fell Out.
GFrom the Detroit Free Press.

An old pioneer sat in a Michigan ave-
nue. grocery yesterday, stroking his white
beard and telling the group around the
stove that he had seen dozen just such
winters as this, when in came a second
pioneer who had seen just as many wolves
and bears in olden days, and who felt his
importance just as much. The two eyed
each other askance, and directly the first
observed:
"Seems to me you are looking poorly
for man only seventy two years old"
" POORLY" snapped the other, why
[ sawed a quarter of cord of wood this
morning, and [ went to market twice. I
never felt better in my Life, but it seems
to me that you have weak eyes,"
Weak eyes! Why [ can read my
print without glasses; my eyes were
never keener than now"
"Let's see which has the best eyes, ~
remarked the grocer's clerk as he took a
card from his pocket, and the two old
pioneers cheerfully agreed.
The card was red ON one side and blue
on the other, and the clerk held it so that
only one could see it at time. The first
pioneer took squint and called out:
"Blue as milestone! Can't fool my
eyes on that"

The Gillian Army.

An ex-officer of the German Guard
Corps, now a resident of Chill, sends
home to the Berlin 1filitaa'- Woche,abl0tt
an interesting account of the Chilian
army. The Gillian soldier is, said the
writer, of the Araucanian race, and is a
direct descendant of the tribe of Indians,
which, at the time of the Spanish con-
quest of South America, successfully de-
fed the armies of Spain, and, under the
leadership of the gallant chiefs, Lantar
and Caupolican, preserved the indepen-
dence of their country. Of middle stat
ure, sturdy and thick-set, of powerful
bodily build, hardened against fatigue,
indifferent to the danger of death, with
a light brown or copper-colored skin, the
Chilian soldier bears the stamp of a
savage bravery. With his intellectual
faculties, however, but slightly or not at
all developed, and with an innate love OF
personal independence, the CHILEAN sub
mits, but unwillingly to discipline ana,
according to the testimony of CHILEAN
officers themselves, orders can only be
enforced by frequent application of the
stick. The regular Gillian army only,
which, before the outbreak of the present
war with Peru, numbered less than 2, 800
men, can be considered as trained and
disciplined body, the remainder of the
armed forces of the country consisting
altogether of militia and national guards.
The armament of all the troops is, how
ever, excellent

ONE of the most pleasant and least
ostentatious Of the charities of the season
is that devised and managed by wealthy
lady of Philadelphia. That lady last
year visited the stables of one of the
principal street railroads and gave each
driver and conductor a pair of warm
gloves and scarf. This year she made a
slight variation in her gifts. Each mar
ried man received an order for S. worth
of groceries and each single man knit
jacket and neat necktie. The presents
are thankfully received by the men. The
name of the lady is not known. She is
her own almoner and comes, thickly
yelled, In her own carriage, drawn by a
pair of very costly horses.

ARE THE OCEANS DISAPPEARING
At recent meeting of the French
Geological society communication
from nj. Trantschold, of Moscow, was
read on the non-invariabihty of the
level of the ocean. It terminated with
the following conclusions: l. In pro-
portion as certain parts of the earth's
crust rise from the bottom of the sea
above its level, the latter must be low
cred. q The surface of nearly all the
present continents has been at one time
the bottom of the sea. It rises from the
water partly by reason of upheavals,
partly because of the retreat of the
ocean. 3. As continents are formed, one
part of the water of seas is transported
to them in the form of lakes, rivers,
eternal SHOWS, glaciers, and organized
substance. Owing to these actions the
water of the ocean has diminished in a
sconstant manner, and it's level has been
lowered. 4. In proportion as the earth
cools down, ice accumulates near the
poles and on mountains, water is i'm
bibed more deeply into the terrestrial
crust, and the formation of hydrated
minerals is manifested everywhere. 1t
results from all these facts that since
water existed on the surface of the earth
the level of the sea has been gradually
lowered

Himself he never could divide
From that he lived to say.
His voice a hoier meaning brought;
He breathed his soul in every line:
And with it-sweet and precious thought =
And with it carried mine.
I listened deeper than knew;

No words I felt-be broke them through;
That voice alone heard.
My spirit rose to passionate height;
