Ianninn a Human Skin.

Toronto (Ont.y Special to Chicago Tribune.l
A few days ago a medical student
brought three pieces of skin to W.
Cenee, the furrier, stating that it was a
portion of pigs skin which he wished
to get tanned. The skin was laid aside,
and after it had gone through the ordin-
airy process in the watts, boy in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Cenee noticed. while stitch
ing it on the beam, that it had very little
resemblance to a pigs hide either in
form or texture. On examination, Mr..
Cenee discovered that the skin was that
of a young woman, and states that it
was not long since the owner Of 1t was
alive, for it was quite fresh when brought
to him. The skin had apparently been
taken from the legs above the knees and
the arms. The skin is tough and seem
ingly will prove durable. The detec-
ti7es were informed and now have the
case in hand.

What Was Found in Watchman,s Coat

Charles F. Adams, a Waterman in the
Winchester Arms Factory in New Haven,
died December %. Not long before his
death he showed an acquaintance mon
ey belt which he said contained 50, 900
Consequently much surprise was felt
when a search of his effects brought to
light only about go. The people at whose
house he died were suspected of having
the missing money. Adams clothes,
after his death, were taken to the under
takers, and recently the administrator of
the estate went to the establishment to
appraise the garments, preparatory to
selling them by auction. An overcoat
had been valued and was about to be laid
aside, when dirty piece of cloth drop
ped from one of the pockets, wrapped
around large cartridge shell, which, on
being opened, disclosed a roll of bills
that counted up 81 800, there being one
81 600 note, one of $500, and three of
800 each. A mere chance prevented
the whole from being thrown into the
rubbish barrel.

A Picture Worth BehoIdino

Hanging between two small windows.
and catching the light from a large one
opposite, IN one of the offices of Adams
Express Company, at 80 Broadway,
New 1ork-the Office occupied by Mr..
w. ID. Hall, head of the delivery de-
partment-ls a plainly finished but
neatly-tramed chrome about q by 3 feet
IN size, which Is looked upon by hun
dreds of people daily, on many of whom
1t has a wonderful and salutary effect.
1t represents a flight of half a dozen
stone steps leading from the swarded
bank of a placid lake to a little rustic
temple set IN the rugged side of the
mountain which risesin stupendous pro-
portions III the back ground all covered
with luxurlant growth of foliage in
brush and tree. In the open door of
this little temple stands haIf-concealed
figure, with an arm and hand extended.
holding forth a small, dimly-defned
package, while seated on the sward at
the foot OF the steps an aged pilgrim,
bare-tooted, lame and decrepid, bears a
staff IN one hand, and Ia the other holds
before his dim eyes small bottle, whose
label he eagerly scans. This label bears
the words "St. Jacobs Oil the Great
German Remedy" Simple as this little
chrome appears III its unostentatious
position, it has an influence which it
would be difficult to estimate. "Itis to
that picture and the persuasions of Mr..
Hall, said Mr.. Edward J. Douglass, a
gentleman connected with Mr.. Halls de-
partment, "that l owe my present
ability to perform my work. Some
weeks ago | was violently attacked with
scIatlc rheumatism, and hour by hour |
grew worse, and nothing my family or
the doctor could do gave me any relief.
L began to think in a few DAYS that nv
case was hopeless and that l was doomed
10 be an invalid and helpless cripple for
life. But Mt last [ thought of that pic
ture which had so often looked at with
but little interest, and then Mr.. Hall
came to my bedside, and telling me how
st. Jacobs Oil had cured him of a worse
and longer standing case than mine,
urged me to use the same remedy. l
did so that very night, directing my wife
not to spare it but to apply it thor
oughly according to the directions: this
she did with a large piece of flannel
cloth saturated with the Oil, and then
bound the cloth to the affected parts.
The next morning / was free from pain,
and although a little sore in the hip,
was able to dress myself, and the next
day resumed my duties in the Office as
sound as dollar. Here I am now in
full health and strength, having had no
touch of rheumatism or other pain
since. Whenever | see one of our
drivers or any other person who shows
any symptoms of lameness or stiffness,
L point him to the picture in Mr.. Halps
Office, and then direct him to go for

Pigs Eat Up an Account Book.

lFrom the Shoe and Leather Reporter.1
4 firm of masons at Newburyport,
Mass, employed a hodcarrier whose
newell method of keeping account Of his
time was brought to light by droll
circumstance. He went one evening to
his employers home with the sad intel
hgence that he had lost his account book.
He said the pigs had gotten it and eaten
1t up. " What sort of an account did

Beating the Chilians.
GFrom the New York SUM-

lIIoul Tue New YORK Sun
The first encounter between the naval
forces of the United States and those of
Chill has already taken place in the bay
of Callao, and our sailors were the VIC
tors. The engagement was fiye-mile
boat race out to sea from the English
flagship to buoy and return, between
the Pensacola's cutter and boat from
the lronclad Admiral Cochran. The
Chilians were the challengers, and pro-
posed purse of $500 side to add spirit
to the contest, which suggestion was ac-
cepted. The race was pulled calamity
by both crews before thousands of spec
tators, the Yankee tars finishing 500
yards ahead, in trihe over forty-seven
minutes; and their shipmates gave the
winning crew present Of 5000 besides,
while Admiral Balch contributed two
consecutive days and nights liberty
ashore, in which to celebrate the victory
and spend the winnings.

Mr., Vanderbilt's Joke,

4 number OF friends invited Mr. Van.
derbilt to take dinner at the League
House, and when the champagne had
been reached and the party had come to
that state of jollity Which begets familiar
pleasantly, Mr.. Vanderbilt offered to bet
any or all the gentlemen present that
they could not guess within five dollars
of the price OF the suit Of clothes be
had on. OF course there were plenty of
takers. Most of the gentlemen out of
poiteness aud for other obvious reasons
named high figure from S75 to 1925.
Well, ;" said Mr.. Vanderbilt, leisuely,
after the bets had all been made, Il
guess III take this pool. My suit cost
me precisely S25." The party laughed
at this unexpected denouement, and Mr..
Vanderbilt economical tailor was heart
lily toasted. All this goes to show that
Mr.. Vanderbilt is man of cheerful dis
position and fond enough of fun TO lay
down some of the cares of business and
enjoy himself as q man Of his means

From the Christian Union
IA BELLE MAGUELOMnE
BY CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.

Algues-M ortes - the name signifies
'stagnant water owes its Importance
TO Louis TX, the saint. 1t required 9
SAINT to drop a full,walled city, a town
completely inclosed with high ramparts
and lofty fighting towers, Ia the midst
OF these swamps, and approached from
the tIdeless Mediterranean only by shall
low channels,
From this inviting coast Saint Louis
chose to embark for Palestine, and that
Is the explanation of the existence here
OF the most remarkable walled city In
France, the most perfect and picturesque
reminder of the Middle Ages. From
afar off We see its high rampart8 and
heavy round towers, all in perfect con-
dition, and it would occasion no sur
prise TO see the crenelated walls manned
with men IN armor, and to behold a cav
alcade OF knights enter from one of the
narrow gates.
The city is so small and the walls are
so solid that it seems as if it would be
possible to pick up the whole affair and
carry it away-that it would all hang to-
gether like a toy city which children play
with. The embrasured wall Is built in
the exact form of parallelogram, and
it is only 500 yards long, by 149 yards in
breadth. The walls are 36 feet high,
tianked by ID round towers. From the
interior at regular intervals steps ascend
to the top of the ramparts. The most
remarkable and the famous one of these
round towers is that of Constance, built
out by salient walls from the northeast
corner. This tower is SO feet high and
y feet in diameter, and contains a couple
of vaulted chambers, the walls OF which
are, at tie base, of enormous thickness.
This tower Is surmounted by a slender
column, upon which lantern used to
be kept burning at night.
Within these narrow limits, Aigues-
MOrtes Is little city of straight, narrow
streets. There are several entrance
gates, and from one you look straight
through the city out of another. It is
said that in its prosperous days the city
had a population crowded into it of H.
600. 1t Is credited now with about 4, 600,
but 1t seemed to me there were scarcely
1000 people in its silent streets. There
are III 1t many vacant plots of ground and
many deserted houses. Every other
walled city have ever seen has outgrown
its bondage and spread into the sur
rounding country. Argues Mortes has
shrunk within Its stone shell and rattles
around in it like a dried nut
