/" Embossed Leather"

Hundreds of men, women, and even
boys, in New York are engaged in the
business" of collecting old boots and
shoes, which they take to the wall
paper factories, where they receive
from five to fifteen cents per pair. Calf
skin boots bring the best price, while
cowh;de ones are not taken at any tg-
ure. These boots and shoes are first
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
off, and then t1e pals and threads are
removed and the leather is ground up
into a fine pulp. Then it is pressed
upon q ground of heavy paper, which
is to be used in the manufacture of
embossed leather" Fashionable peo-
pie think they are going away back to
medieval times when they have the
wall of Their Libraries and dining rooms
covered with this, and remain in bliss
full ignorance that the shoes and boots
which their neighbors threw in the ash
barrel q month before now adorn their
walls and hang on the screens which
protect their eyes from the fire. Car
riage-top makers and hook-5inders also
buy old boots and shoes, the former to
make leather tops for carriages, and the
latter leather bindings for the cheaper
grade of books. The new styles of
leather frames with leather mats in
them are entirely made of the caston
covering of our feet-h I. San.

a SPLENDID OBSERVATORY.

The Present Condition of the Lick Tele-
scope-When it Will be Completed.
On the summit of Mount Hamilton
in California will be found a splendid
observatory, which is only awaiting a
great telescope to be ready for use.
This observatory was brought into ex-
istence by the will of an eccentric Cali
fonia millionaire named Lick. This
misunderstanding institution would
now be in practical operation were it
not for the unfortunate failure of the
glass makers to produce piece of
crown glass of the size and perfection
required for the objective of the tele-
scope. 1t is now reported that the new
management of the firm of Fell, OF
Paris. has already overcome the diff
iculties incident to the making of the
great disc; and if no accident shall
happen, it is to be expected that the
Clarks of Cambridgeport will have
begun their work of figuring it before
the end of the coming summer. The
length of time which this operation
will consume is uncertain, but two
wears is a reasonable allowance. The
dome, meantime, will be built seventy
six feet in exterior diameter, size GER
tainly large enough to cover the thirty
six-inch telescope. The excavations
for this structure in the solid rock of
the mountain are already under way,
and the director of works expects to
complete its main walls during the
coming summer, while the season OF
1886 will suffice for the addition of the
superstructure or dome proper. Sim
ultaneously with the opticians work
upon the glass discs, the equally inn
portant problem of the most suitable
mounting for the telescope will be at
tackled. and all the intricate mechan-
ism required for its convenient use

VENAL COACHMEN.
The Experience of a Farmer in Selling Car.
rage Horses,


rage Horses,
An honest, sturdy Scotch farmer,
who lives in one of the upper counties
of the State; was recently telling OF
the many annoyances he met with in
selling carriage horses to wealthy peo-
pie in this city. Said he: Il make
business of raising fine carriage horses,
of as handsome form and color, and as
CLOSELY mated as possible. Conse-
quentlv nv best trade is in New York
among the rich classes. But the
trouble is have to deal generally with
cOachmen. either entirely or in part,
and the latter always want TO make
good sum for themselves. They gen
orally ask outright for twenty-five OF
fifty dollars for their influence in max
ing the trade. As their employer is
often lady or some gentleman not an
expert in horses, the coachman has
great deal to say about the purchase.
Now, / am not a mean fellow. and |
am willing to give a coachman de-
cent tip on a sale. But only the other
day sold team to a gentleman, deal
ing directly with him, and owing no
favors to the coachman. But this lat
ter worthy approached me after the
sale was concluded and wanted to
know if / was not going to do some
thing Well gave him ten dollars, a
great deal more than ought, but he
looked rather blank and repeated:
Amt We goin' to do suthin?
/ told him that if he didn't consider
ten dollars worth taking he could give
it back But he walked off muttering
that was BANKED mean cuss. etc.
OF course, he was an unusual hog, for
there are very decent fellows among
the coachmen. But there are others
who, if you do not fee them well, will
make team sick, or drive nails in
their feet to lame them, in order to
create dissatisfaction with the sale.
They will tell their employer to trust
them to buy the horses next time. v

a JAPANESE INDUSTRY.
The Straw-Braid Trade of Japan-The
Dexterity of the Plaiters.

Within the last three years quite a
new industry for Japan has sprung into
exiStence-the manufacture of straw
plat or braid for mems hats and
wOmen's bOnnets for use abroad. The
first year the export consisted of some
5000 pieces Cn,y. the next il increased
To so, 900, and the last to nearly ,0)0,-
900 pieces of sixty yards each. The
price. of course, wares accord no to the
season and quality of the art Gle, rang

TO Us low as twenty-five sen per piece.
the latter being. we understand, the
price Just now, owing 10 the fact of the
season being over. for it has to reach
America in time to he made up by the
has makers for the summers trade.
There is a.so an immense production in
China of the same article, which has
existed for many years past; the price
there, however, mostly rules consid-
era5ly lower than there. owing to the
cost of Chinese manufactures being gen
orally less than the Japanese ask for
their wares. The japanese plat ordi-
narily commands better price abroad,
b"igh er and winter n color: it is also
mostly very neatly male. owing to the
deit fingers of the .'apaaese being adj
mirably suited to the work. This in
duStry. which bids far to develop into
larger and larger proportions, is an
espec al benefit tothe farming class. the
raw material costing nothing and the
making of the plat furnish ne occupa-
ton To- the female branches of the fam
lily dur NO leisure hours and winter
nights. when work outside can not be
followed. The money earned being so
much clear gain, 1t i, a welcome supple
ment to the incomes of thousands of
poor and industrious families. We OBJ

Omori, near Toxic. are about holding
competitive exposition. TO test the dex-
terity of the plaiters and the quality of
the article turned out by them.-Japan
