How Kid Gloves are Made.

The kid glove is a simple but very
important article of dress. Of the
millions of persons who wear gloves
how few ever give the subject Of their
manufacture passing thought, The
best skins generally come from middle
and southeastern France. Fine sea-
sons improve the quality Of the skin
greatly, as the animals are kept in the
open air. In wet weather it is neces.
sary to keep the kids housed. The
confinement, if lengthy, causes heating,
and produces fever spots on the skins.
The animals on the Tyrol mountains
furnish good leather for mems wear.
South American kids being more or
less wild their coats become scratched
and torn by contact with bushes, bri-
ers, ETC., and are not desirable. The
pelt as taken from the animal is dried;
then, through series Of baths, the
hair and grease are removed, and the
skin cleaned thoroughly. A most diff
fcult stage of the business is tanning
and dyeing the leather, so much skill
being requisite to obtain the desired
shades and colors. This is accomplish
ed with the best success in France, as
the French possess the art of leather
dyeing to a degree not yet attained by
other nations. In order afterward to
make the skin soft, full and flexible it
is fed INTELLECTUALLY absorbing quite a
quantity ola preparation of wheat,
-four and egg-yolks, Subsequently the
parts around the neck and shoulders,
where the skin is thickest, are shaved
with sharp knife to render itunifOrm

A PROFESSION, OR A TRADE.
Something for the Wide Awake l6
year-old Boy to Think Owe.

Detroit Free Press.
But, as | told you at the outset, if
you have arrived at the age of 10 or
16, it is.time you looked matters square
in the face and had some idea of your
future. If you were to answer at once,
you would say that you would take a
profession in preference to trade. A
profession means several years of hard
study, quite large cash outlay and
then trials and rebuffs, to get start
in business. 1t is one thing to gradu-
ate as a lawyer or a doctor, and quite
another to pick up clients and patients.
If you have fully decided on profess
sion, be careful of your first move. If
you have large head, your grandN
mother has doubtless many times ex>
claimed: "What great lawyer this
boy would make" Don't try to make
one on the size of your head. We've
got any number of that class in the
country now, and they can't pay their
grocers' bills. If you can pull silver
out of your finger without winklng, it
may be sign that you would make
great surgeon. 1t may also be sign
that you are born to be butcher.
How will you know what to pursue?
Your own feelings are the safest guide.
If left to your parents and to circum"
stances, you may be forced into trade
or profession which you can never
make a success. When you come to
realize that you must make your own
way in life, your particular forte will
be apt to reveal itself. One of the
best lawyers in Detroit was intended
for the ministry another served three
years as journalist, but all the time
feeling that he was out of his element;
another was forced by his father to
learn the trade of harness maker. |

medicine of matchmaker who tried

who threw away three years of his life

After you have selected your pro-
fession or trade, what then? Strive
to master it in all its details and to ex.
eel. If you become a carpenter, don't
be satisfied when you can saw and

Ono More Unfortunate,

Two fishermen, near the Michigan street bridge
over White river, about noon yesterday saw an
unknown woman leap from the west pier into
the water. She remained under but short
time and then her lfeless body foated down the
stream, and was brought out by the men. The
remains were those of woman, evidently a
German, about sixty years old, heavily built, with
iron gray hair and dark eyes. She wore calico
dress, bingham apron and sunbonnet and slip
pers, and in her pocket were handkerchief and
thimble. The body was taken to Flanner e
Hommown's and inspected by the coroner, who
will hold the inquest to-day. There is no clew
to her identity.
Last night it was discovered that the dead
woman was Mrs. Margaret Close aged seventy
eight, who lived with her daughter, Mrs Roman

was good physician before man, and perhaps
the better of the two. She ought, at least, to

Since no other profession is related so closely

behooves every physician to see to it that he is

Suicide of an Augusta Lady.

About four years ago, Mr.. Jas. Coffman
and wife, the latter daughter of the late
Andrew Borden, Esq, were among quite
a party of Augusta county people who left
the vicinity of New Hope to make their
home in Huntington. Some four weeks
ago Mr.. Coffman died, and his remains
were brought back to this county for inter-
ment. On Tuesday night of last week,
Mrs. Coffman committed suicide by cut
ting her throat and drowning. The par
ticulars of the sad affair are thus told by
the Huntington advertiser:
Mrs. JAS Coffman. residing with R. G.
Davis. West Huntington, suicided by G ut
ting her throat and drowning in the river.
Tuesday hight. The particulars, as we
have been able to learn, are as follows
During the night she arose and went down
stairs. remarking to Mrs. Davis that she
was going to take some quinine pills that
had been prescribed for her. In her alb
sence one of her two children, aged -
months. began crying, and continued until
Mrs. D. concluded best to call the mother.
No response being received, she went down
stairs and discovered that Mrs. Coffman
had left the house. When daylight had
arrived she was still absent, which alarmed
the family of Mr.. Davis, and search was
at once instituted. Her tracks were dis
covered leading to the river, which left
the impression that she had suicided by
drowning. Information of the mystery
reached town at an early hour, and party
of gentlemen went down in skiffs to the
point where her tracks disappeared, Just
below Mr.. Verlander's residence, and
dragged the river for the body. At about
10 O'Clock a. m.. Constable Stewart and
Jas. Russell found the body of the unfor-
tunate woman about one hundred yards
from the shore, caught on a snag. Upon
investigation lit was found her throat was
cut, and from'the peculiarly of the wound.
by pair of scissors DR.. Burlington. who
examined the wound, says that death
would have resulted from the cut alone.
In descending the, river bank in some
places The unfortunate woman made leaps
of eight feet, which invites the belief that
she was temporarily insane. About four
weeks ago she lost her husband by death,
and with tw children, aged respectively
three years an eight months to take care
of, a responsibility she was financially in
capable of assuming, it is not at all i'm
probable that grief and grave responsibility
brought about the sad event.

The market, for staples continues at a stand
still and dealers are complaining of want Of
busifess. About the only inducement to the
farmers to market, is to meet the fertilizers
notes with which both banks and merchants
ESQ plcntifulty supplied. But for the neces-
stiles OF the producers, business would be COM
pletely stagnnnt. There seems little prospect
of an Increase in the price of wheat. Not only
has the home supply been UMPIRE cedently large
but the fact that powerful foreign competitors
are invading the Old World markets, which for
sometime have drawn their supplies from this
country, will have the effect Of shutting out
any fattering hope of a material advance In the
price OF grain. Mr.. M. ]. Cramer. United States
consul-general at Berne, Switzerland, reports
to the Secretary of State that Russian wheat is
now driving American wheat out of the markets
OF Switzerland and South Germany. 1.-THE Rus
sian wheat Dealers he says, 'strain every
nerve to supply the markets of central and
Southwestern Europe. They are supported in
their endeaver by the low cost OF Transports
tions. both by railway and by sea and river
steamers, in consequence OF which Russian
wheat isofered at a very low price. These cir
cumstandes cause canstant increase In the OK
port of wheat from Russia into Italy, South
Germany and Switzerland, vid Genoa, Marseilles
Antwerp and Rotterdam SO that this country
Is now almost entirely supplied with Russian
wheat" II American wheat is to regain COM
mand of these markets, both Its price and the
cost of its transportation, Mr.. Cramer says
must be reduced.
With wheat selling at 70 and 80 cents and la
demand being made for a further reduction
both in cost of growing and cost Of Transports
ton, the outlook for wheat growers of this sec.
ton is certainly not encouraging. Prices in the
local markets yesterday ranged as follows:
Flour. Family 81 80; Extra So so to So 20; Super
So 90 to Is: Wheat 70 to 81 cents: Corn IS to
60; Oats 90 to IS cents Hay $40 to $f2; Pork $500
to IS 60: country killed beef to cents.
In Baltimore wheat was quoted yesterday at
so to 90 cents.
There is practically no change in the produce
market. The demand for fowls, butter and eggs
continues brisk. but there Is practically no
change In the quotations since last week. We
deem 1t unnecessary to repeat the figures then
published.
