TdnniTg Fur Skins.-Inere are sew
eral ways of doing it. but the follow
ing isrecommended as among the best ::
After having cut Off the useless parts
and softened the skin by soaking. re-
move the fatty matter from the inside.
and soak the skin IN warm water for
an hour. Then mix borax, salrpeter
and glauber salts in equal parts, and in
the proportion of about one half ounce
of each, for each skin, with enough
water to make thin paste. Spread
this with bush on the inside of the
skin, applying more to the thick than to
the thin places. Double the skin TO-
gether, flesh side inside, and lay it
away in cool place. At the expira-
tion of twenty-four hours wash the
skin clean, and apply in the same man
ner as before mixture of one ounce
sal soda, one-half ounce of borax and
two ounces Of hard white soap, melted
slowly together without being allowed
to boil. Fold the skin together again
as before and place it In a warm place.
where 1t Is to remain fo- another
twenty-four hours, at the expiration
OF which, soak it for twelve hours in
the following: Four ounces of alum.
eight ounces of salt and two ounces of
saleratus, dissolved IN sufficient hot
RAIN water 10 saturate the skin. The
skin is not to be placed in the mixture
until it is cool enough not to sca,d the
hand. After soaking the twelve hours,
wiring out the skin and hang up to dry.
When dry soak again as before, and re-
peat the soaking and dry process two
or three times, or until the skin Is
sufficiently soft. Lastly, smooth the
inside with fine sand paper and pumice
stone

Substitute for Earthquakes.

Queer how the force Of habit will
catch hold of man. There was old
Major Dogshow who was a terrible
victim of it. The Major when small
boy went down to Peru where they
have earthquakes and revolutions
every ten days or so; where man
works to get his enemy elected Presi-
dent, for the sake of seeing him assas-
sinated. The Major lived in that
country till he was nearly fifty years
old and he had got, by that time.
accustomed to being mixed up In aeivIl
war or fleeing from an earthquake
about half the time. Finally ne NOV
ed back to the United States. At the
end of week he was unhappy. He
missed the revolutions and the earth
quakes. Occasionally, he contriyed to
dream there was an earthquake, and
then he would hop out of bed and rush
out of the house, without stopping to
bowling, before he got sufficiently
awake 10 realize his mistake. This kind
CT got the neIghbors to thinking the
MAJOR had EN-" But this didn't
afford much relief. However, a politi-
cal campaign came on, ani the Major
moved to Philadelphia, and used to go
10 ward caucusses and take prominent
part, and he was elected to the Board
of Aldermen. and got his head thump-
ed with a cuspadore ct most every
meeting and that, in measure, made
up for the loss of revolutions. But the
Major hsnkered for earthquakes and at
last the desire TO experience one be-
came almest uncomfortable. He con-
suited doctor. The doctor said ne
though he could help him. The doctor
owned an old Mexican mule with q
back as sharp as an AK. The mule had
been ia the army ten years. He took
it out in an open field and put the
Major on ITS back. Then the mule be-
gan 10 buck. Did you ever see mule
buck? 1t jumps about four feet into
the air, and comes down stiff-legged,
and the jar the rider gets is enough to
loosen his teeth. And you can't get
OF unless you fall IF, and then the
mule may jump on you. The Major
knew that, and he hung on for dear
lie. The doctor danced wildly about
as the mule bueked and the Major
swOre and screamed. ''Is it equal to
an earthquake :" he yelled. And the
hOwled: "Hang it. yes ;it's six of 'em,
with a volcano and stroke of light
ming thrown in" The mule finally
quieted down, and they took the Major
of. He Was the sorest, lamest, mad
dest man in the State. And he says he
has had enough earthquake to last him
life time, but he hasn't got through
with the doctor, who had better leave
the country before he gets well.

The artificial means by which drow-
siness may be induced have been inves-
tigated lately in Germany by Preyer.
The ordinary drowsiness of fatigue Is
supposed to be caused by the introduce
tion into the blood of Tactic acid, q
compound proceeding from the disin-
tegration OF the bodily tissues Of nerves
and muscle. To ascertain whether this
view was correct, Preyer administered
large quantities of the acid TO animals,
and found that 1t would induce drow-
siness and slumber apparently indenti-
cal with normal sleep, and from which
they awakened seemingly much re-
freshed. Not only lactate soda, but
sour milk and whey, fed TO animals
which had been fasting, produced this
artificial sleep.

A dairying company of London has
lately established laboratory atwhich
samples of milk received from farmers
are subjected to chemical analysis.
Prizes have been offered by the COM
pany, which are to be given those
farmers whose milk supply stands
highest in quality during a stated
period of time. The samples of milk
are carefully examined by the COM
pany's analyst, whose analyses and re-
ports will decide the competition for
the prizes. 1t is expected that much
valuable information respecting meth
ods for producing the richest possible
milk will be secured in this way.

N. Aube has patented In Trance a
method Of converting iron into steel,
and at the same time producing illu-
mlnating gas, Iron is placed in retort
with charcoal or coke in layers, and
heated to 900 deg. e; fatty matters are
then injected, and as soon as decom-
position has taken place jet of dry
steam ia passed over the incandescent
mass. The result is said to be that the
iron is converted into steel. and car
buretted hydrogen is given off from
the retort.

NANCE ON HoRsE.-This Is caused
by an insect. Whitewash the stable
and stalls with lime and cover the
floor also with IL, as the mango insect
will live upon the wood work for some
months. and return 10 the morse If not
destroyed. Treat as follows for the
disease. Make an ointment of lard,
twelve parts, carbolic acid one part,
and sulphur txoparts. Rub these to-
gether thoroughly, until it is well
mixed and smooth. Work some of this
ointment into the affected portions of
the skin twice a day. Give an ounce
of flower OF sulphur daily in the feed.
until the perspirauon of the horse
smells strongly of it, then discontinue
it, but continue the use of the oint-
ment some time longer, until the skin
re covers healthy appearance.

PICTURE on SILK.-A very simple
process is In use by which cOlored
pictures may be applied to silk SO per-
fectly that the ornamentation is mis-
taken for hand-painting. The pictures
of flowers, fruits and other objects are
printed in oil colors on especially pre-
pared paper, and can be arranged in
designs to suit ones fancy. They are
transferred by simply moistening the
back OF the picture with water and
pressing 1t ON with hot iron. This
decoration is so much easier done than
hand-painting that ladies are using it
for ornamentiDg the panels, collars,
pockets and sashes of dresses.

CURF FOR WOUNDS AND SoRES.-lu
the treatment of wounds and sores In
animals diluted carbolic acid is inval-
liable. In hot weather 1t often occurs
that a wound cannot be cured because
of having become putrid and hyblown
when gangrene sets in and the animal
Is lost. Carbolic acid can be admins
tered with a almost certainty OF all
Getting a cure. Ii keeps wound IN
healthy state and enables nature to
heal it. When putridity has commenced
this acid will at once destroy the
germs of decomposition and purify he
wound, It has also been applied with
equal effect in cases of scab and foot
rot In sheep for a miuute or so in wa
ter containing one-fiftieth part of car
bolic acid. This is done after the
sheep Is shorn. 1t is not necessary for
this purpose to procure the pure acid,
as a cheaper preparation answers
equally as well. The foot rot is treat
ed with a mixture OF the acid with
some greasy substance and coal tar,
capable of forming a plaster OF such
consistency as will adhere TO the anil
mails foot for two or three days, and
thus prevent the air from striking in
and destroying the effect of the appli-
cation. Where there are many Of a
flock SO affected a more expeditions
method is to separate such from the
rest of the flock, place the fluid mix
ture in the bottom of a trough and
cause the disabled ones TO pass through
it slowly. This may be good deal of
trouble, but one who has care for
his flock, and knows the value Of such
care will hardly begrudge the labor.
