How Sealskin is Prepared.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Few Of those wearing sealskin sacque have
any knowledge of the process by which the skins
are prepared for use Seen when first taken from
the animal they little resemble the warm, glossy
skins worn upon our streets, for until dyed and
cured they are of a light brown hue, coarse and
full of sand Before becoming valuable they are
shaved down on the flesh side until not thicker
than paper, the long hairs are pulled out and the
fur dyed. The cost of the article is due to the
labor expended on it. The raw skins sold in
London, where the finishing is done, and then
shipped back to America, where they are sold
with heavy duty added. The killing season in
Alaska begins about the 18th of June, and the
100, 900 skins are usually ready for shipment n
month later. The work of slaughtering the ami
mails is done by natives who live upon the st.
Paul and St. George Islands and the process is an
interesting one. When skins are wanted the ma
tives go to the rookeries station themselves along
the shore between the seals and the water, and,
at given signal, spring to their feet and make
as much noise as possible. The frightened vic
tins, timid as deer, then stampede up the beach
and are driven like sheep few miles inland, until
their captors attack them with hickory clubs.
Being knocked senseless, they are stabbed with
long, sharp knives and the skins are quickly
stripped from the bodies. The work is divided
among the men-some knocking the seals down,
others stabbing them and still others taking off
the skins. The native Indians number about
800, and under the terms of the lease, are pro-
vided by the company with warm houses, sixty
tons of coal, doctor and a schoolmaster salmon
and other necessities and comforts. For their
labor the men are paid some $4,000 altogether
each season, a sum more than sufficient to meet
the limited needs of life in region of almost
perpetual fogs and utter isolation.

GENERAL ITEMS.

General Robert Toombs voted on November
4th for the first time since the war.
Pierre Lorillard's earnings from his Rancocas
races during the season amounted to $4,000.
John Pfeiffer, of Allentown, Pa, has named
his son Grover Cleveland Thomas Hendricks
Pfeiffer.
IN. W. Jes.>r, of St George's Delaware, ship
ped pair of English settlers to California recently,
for which he received $500.
Mr.. Plankington, of Milwaukee, began bust
ness a capital of 81, 900 year. He made mil
lions in pork and he is said to have an income of
$12,O00,O00 year.
Gen. B. F. Butler is reported to be applying
himself with unusual earnestness to the pursuit of
his profession. The number of cases he under
takes for poor persons, without charge, is steadily
increasing.
"A few days since Pierre Loril!ard and friend
went out cunning on the Rancocas farm, at Jobs
town, N. J. Mr.. Loriard fred at flock of
quail and the shot struck Mr.. Gardner, an en-
ployee on the place, destroying the sight of one of
his eyes. Mr.. Loriard had the injured man sent
to Philadelphia hospital.
Congressman elect Truman Adams Merriman,
of New York, is said to be Gladys man" beyond
compare. 1t is alleged that when the Goddess of
Liberty on the Capitol at Washington was in
formed of Colonel Merriman's election flush
mantled her forehead and she exclaimed "When
the members elect ascend the steps shall bow to
him alone"
DIR. William Wells Brown, famous abol-
zionist, like William Lloyd Garrison in spirit,
though unlike him in color, died at Chelsea,
Mass, a few days ago. DR.. Brown was born q
slave, in Kentucky, in 1916, and at the age of
twenty-six years fled to Lake Erie. Many a
fugitive was smugged by him to Canadian shores,
his best record being sixty-ive in one year.
Meanwhile he was educating himself and later
moved to tho front in the great political agitation.
Truman B. Handy, the daring speculator,
who was thrown from his buggy in Cincinnati a
few days ago. died on Saturday evening. He
was a bankrupt from 1869 until 1880. In the
latter year he went to Chicago, where he made
his famous corner in wheat, laying out from his
own funds and that of others $5,0OO,O 900 in wheat
options on small margins and sold out, realizing
for himself million dollars. Returning to Gin
cinnati he built palace and furnished it gorge
ously. He resolved to keep out of speculation,
but his passion for it mastered his will, and while
in New York he ventured in cotton speculation
and lost all. He had, however, previously settled
comfortable fortunes his children. Only a
few months ago his splendid furniture was seized
by the Sheriff.

The Use Of Smoke.

Smoke is commonly regarded as among the most
worthless as it is one of the ightest of things, fit
only to be used in pointing comparison. But
chemistry tells a different tale, and science has
availed herself of its revelations to utilize even
the smoke that is commonly allowed to vanish
ghost-like into the atmosphere. At Grand Rapids,
Michigan, are extensive charcoal pits, constructed
of bricks. Each pit holds 100 cords of wood and
SO tons of charcoal are turned out daily. When
these pits are fired, the vast clouds of smoke that
once assembled from them into mid air are care
fully conducted through wooden tubes into large
boxes filled with copper pipes By means Of
various other contrivances fluid clear as amber
and of an unpleasant odor is obtained, called
pyroligneous acid From this acid acetate of
lime, alcohol, tar and gas are produced. Each
cord of wood is calculated to contain $4,000 cubic
feet of smoke and the 100000 feet handled every
day produce 10000 pounds of abetate of lime,
200 gallons of alcohol and rs pounds oftar. The
gas is employed in running the machinery. In
this way the smoke of 10000 cords of wood is
annually turned into q source of much profit, as
the machinery is simple and the processes auto
matte.

Two Of Watts's Hymns.

Anecdotes of the Rev. DR.. Isaac Watts, the
hymn writer, were related by DR.. King in the
Eighteenth Street Methodist church, N. Y, last
Sunday night. "Watts fell in love-" said DR.
King, "and proposed marriage to young woman
She replied that she loved the jewel but could moi
admire the casket He secluded himself and
wrote the touching hymn:
Chow vain are all things here below,
How false, and yet how fair;
Each pleasure hath its poison, toe,
And every sweet snare.
"Driven back by his disappointment in love tc
his contemplations of heaven, Watts next wrote
the hymn beginning with the lines:
"There is land Of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign.
"Much OF the merit of the hymns Watts wrote
was due to John Wesley's corrections. The
hymn beginning with the words Before Jehovah;
awful throne was weak before Wesley amended
it."
Watts was scarcely five feet tall, and died q
bachelor.

Shortsightedness.

writer in the London Times claims the cause
of myopia to be the application Of the eyes to
near objects; in other words, the poring over
books and handicrafts. When the eyes are direc-
ted to q near object, they are turned in or rem.
dered convergent, so that the axes of vision meet
upon it, and this position is maintained by a
muscular effort which, if continued, alters the
shape of the eye in the direction of elongation.
Manifestly, the alteration will be most easily
effected during youth, when the tissues of the
body, including those of the eye, comparatively
lax and distensible and it will also be most easily
effected among those young people whose tissues
are exceptionally weak, by reason of inadequate
food or of unhealthy descent or surroundings.
Badly lighted schools are the great manufactures
of myopia, the bad light compelling approxima-
tion of the books or other materials of study. "A

Panacea for Trouble.

Life is filed with trouble, as a writer in Our
Homes has said, and we must shoulder our share
with the best grace we can. We may only seek
to make them as light as We can, since to avoid
them is impossible.
There is one sovereign panacea for this 1t is
work. Brooding over trouble is like surrounding
ones self with fog. 1t magnifes all objects
seen throughit. Occupation of the mind prevents
this; hard work, manual work even, gives the
mind other matters of concern, tires the body 90
that sleep will come.
Very few suicides occur when men are actively
employed. When out of work they think of their
other troubles, and the dependency arising from
this added one throws the mind from its balance,
and the fatal deed is done. Many man would
have committed suicide if he had the time. Work
of any kind, especially work for others, is the
great panacea for q troubled mind.

Nov.14.-The case of Frank Witte, indicted for
an assault with intent to murder, was tried before
Judge Fowler, and he was adjudged guilty of q
common assault and sentenced to pay fine of
$40 and costs. The motion for a new trial in the
case of John Walker, indicted for larceny, was
heard to-day and granted by the court Argu-
ments were herd by the court in the matter of the
exceptions to the ratification and confirmation of
the inquisition and verdict of the jury for the
condemnation of right of way through the lands
of Morrow B. Lowry for the use of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The exceptions were over
ruled and the inquisition and verdict of the jury
finally ratified and confirmed. The verdict the
jury was for $5, 800 damages, $3.50 of which the
jury directed to be paid to the tenant, Charles
Hall, and $1,000 to be paid to Frank Gunnison
and Harriet j. Lowry, committee, &C., of Morrow
B. Lowry.
Nov. is.-Judge Fowler filed an opinion in the
case of G. Herbert Richardson and William B.
Sands, administrators of William Jessop, vs..
Florence M. Sands, Betty B. Cowley, Mary G.
Jessop ct al, in equity. The bill was fled by
the plaintiffs to obtain q decree constituting the
will of the late William Jessop. The judge de-
cides that the court has jurisdiction in the case
according to the authority of 61 Md. Rep. 457,
and proceeds: at appears that the plaintiffs are
embarrassed by two constructions of the ninth
clause of the will. One construction is that the
daughters of the testator take absolute estate
in the property bequeathed and devised to them,
and the other is that they take only life
estate The learned attorney of the defendants 1
think, made it very clear, not only from the Ian.
guage of the testator used in the will but also by
the authorities cited by him at the hearing, that
the daughters of the testator mentioned in the
said will take absolute estates under the ninth
clause thereof" A decree was filed in accordance
with the opinion, and directing the administrators
to distribute in the Orphans Court, all the resi-
due of the estate left in their hands to Florence,
May c., Sarah o., Anna ", Bette B. and Ada,
the six daughters of the testator. The clause re-
ferred to simply bequeathed and devised of tes
tator's estate, real, personal and mixed, and
wheresoever situated, to share and share alike,
and in the event of the death of any, leaving
issue, then such issue per stripes, and if there be
no issue then the share of such deceased daughter
to go in equal shares to the survivors per stripes.
The son, Charles Jessop, and his issue are exclud
ed from taking anything under this ninth clause,
he having been provided full share under other
clauses of the will.

Will They Hate Each Other.
Philadelphia Times (Md.)

Next to the unprecedented increase in newspa-
per poultry the result Of the Presidential election
promises to be most prolific in Democratic appli-
cants for the postofices. The aspirants are
springing up by scores in all the towns, little and
big. As they can't all have postofices there is q
fair prospect that good many leading men of
the now dominent party will soon hate each other
much more cordially than they hate the defeated
Republicans. Postofices always were fruitful
element of discord in political parties, and the
Democratic party is now to be subjected to a
severe attack of this form of heartburn.

The "Melancholv Days,"-N

ING M6IHnCuOIy DHyb' b'-NUVeWper Is
considered the most dreary and depressing month
of the twelve which make up the year, and the
poet has described it as the "melancholy season
of the year." Although it shows evidences of
death and decay on every hand, and everywhere
reveals the evanescence of time yet it is, witha,
pleasant season, possessing many beautiful and
attractive features. In spite of the "sere and
yellow leaf'-the dying out and passing away of
vegetable life and the signs of approaching winter
with its cold, black aspect-there is charm in
the "mellow autumn" almost indescribable.

A Crystal Wedding.-Eastern View, situa-

ering on Monday evening last. The occasion was

ed in Charleston, S. c., and Mrs. Duncan, nee
Miss Mary j. Hiss, granddaughter of Jacob Hiss,
one of the early settlers of Maryland, and the
first proprietor of Eastern View. There was a

being Mrs. Susan Hiss, the aged but hearty and
hale mother of the bride; the Misses Ellen and
Hester Hiss, Miss Stansbury, Mrs. Caleb S.

the formal congratulations to the bride and groom,
was spent in pleasant converse and in mutual
family "reminiscences, those present being nearly
all connected in some way, and in discussing the
good things set before the company. The occa-
sion called for numerous beautiful and costly
presents, all partaking of the crystal order. The
company separated near midnight, with wishes to
the bride and groom that they might live to cele-
brate their golden wedding.
