Relatives of William Gappen, of Westfeld,
were IN the city, yesterday, making inquiries re-
garding the gentleman. He left his home three
months ago and came to this city to draw his
pension, and has not been heard from since. He
was addicted to drink, and his relatives sup
posed that he had been sent to the work house
here, as such was usual occurrence for him
when he came to the city.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMS.

Social and Business Habits of the Ex-
tremely Deliberate People of Japan.
There is no such brief and hurried
salutation used in japanese society as;
Il am glad to see you," or; 81 am
pleased to meet you" Instead of thus
abruptly greeting an old friend or new
acquaintance, the Japanese say, to
translate them freely: II am thorough
ly saturated with happiness at having
the pleasure of hanging myself upon
your honorable eyelids" That sounds
like something, Again, when young
man writes to his sweet little Japanese
girl, away in the country, for instance,
instead of sending her one thousand
kisses, as we hurried and fretful United
States young men do, he writes some
what in this fashion: Dearest Lump
OfSweetness: l am filled with ,excru-
ciating Impotence to reach your side,
so that l may hang myself upon your
bliss-dispenSing, sugar-coated lips four
thousand six hundred and ten million
times, and perhaps few times more for
good count"
| am not sure that the social customs
of Japan permit a young man TO kiss
h little betrothed peachblow Yum Yum
that many times at one session of the
court; but he is allowed to promise that
n mber of kisses, anyway, and if he is
not in n hurry, and the Japanese are
never in a hurry, he will do his best to
ke p his promise.
In accepting an invitation to dinner
the japanese do not say: at will give
me pleasure to d ne with you, as you
suggest. But: Il shall have great de-
CHIT in putting myself upon the out
SIDE of all the luXur.es of the season I'M
der which your hospitable board is ac-
customed to groan." That is merely a
free translation of one of the very sim
plest forms Of accepting an invitation

rather like the Japanese style of
polite intercourse. There is nothing
hurried or abrupt it. 1t makes one feel
as if the undertaker's bill were far off,
and that there is really no necessity for
hurry and painful commohon. And it
is much more pleasing to the ear than
our brief style of social communication.
Of course. we are all in very much of
a hurry in America. But hurry is the
tn NC that is keeping us awake of nights,
caus NC us to acquire store-teeth in early
life, and to become nation of dyspep-
tic.
As gUIs, we are in hurry to be wom-
en- with ali abnormal hustle and beau;
as boys, we are in hurry to wear a
mustache and plug-hat; as women, we
are in hurry for hundred new things
that the treasury department is i'll pre-
pared to provide; as men, we are in a
hurry to pocket the Doodle and get away
from the police.
We should strive to live more calmly,
if not so sumptuously, and TO die with
greater deliberation, even though we
must be buried with less eclat, We
should not crowd nature by eating a
dinner of thirteen courses in seven min
utes and three seconds, and expect to
escape remorse and a bald-headed doc
tor. 1t seems to me that we could use
some of the japanese sit-down-and-take-
it-calm-ativeness and for-time-I-don't
care-a-dang- ativeness in our domestic
economy to our great and lasting adj
vantage.
In America every body tries with all
his might TO hurry every body else.

a NOVEL SCHEME,
Making a Fortune by Supplying Offices an
Stores With Clean Towels.

Making a Fortune by Supplying Offices and
Stores With Clean Towels.
No sign in town attracts the atten-
ton of strangers to a greater degree
than that which appears on number Of
stylish wagons that are ever to be seen
rushing about the business streets of this
city. 1t is that of the ''Clean Towel Com
pany." A young man is at the head Of
this concern, and is making considers
able fortune out of what was
merely a happy thought. He con-
ceived the idea that men who
rent offices, such as lawyers,
brokers, dentists, agents and the like,
must be put to great deal of trouble
to get clean towels, and to keep them
clean after they get them. He decided
to 90 into the business of supplying
these conveniences. He had some little
boxes made to hang upon door or
wall by means of two hooks. On the
front of each box he had plate of look.
ing-glass. and the top was made like
lid. He hung a brush and comb to each
box, put four clean towels in each one.
and then started out to get customers,
promising four clean towels week,
and to keep each customer suppl ed
with toilet soap for one dollar month,
or six towels week for dollar and
quarter, and eight for two dollars. The
idea took like wildfire. A company
was formed. and it now serves not only
half the offices in town, but a great

places OF all sorts where men or women
are employed and cleanliness is re-
spected. The dirty towels are taken
away and clean ones substituted each
week. The boxes are never removed
until they are broken or grow shabby.

TAKING OFF HIDES.
How to Do 1t without Injuring the Value
of the Hide or Skin.

How to Do 1t without Injuring the Value
of the Hide Skin.
In taking off hide or calf-skin,
never cut the throat crosswise in the
least. Slit the skin from the brisket to
the tail, and from the brisket to the jaw;
then cut around each leg to the hoof.
Slit the hind leg from the hoof up di-
rectly over the gambrel, and the for
ward legs in the front, directly over the
knee, to the top of the brisket bone.
This leaves the hide or skin then in the
proper shape for finishing.
Skin the head and legs carefully to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing
at the head, draw or fist off the skin
without any further use of the knife,
thereby avoiding the holes and cuts that
almost spoil so many calf-skins. Some
farmers use a windlass to draw off the
dairy skins, and others use horse; but
one or two men can do it a great deal
more quickly and easily.
-Whan taken off. lay the hide or skin
fiat on the floor in cool place, where
the sun can not shine upon it, and cover
it with salt-rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt. Do not roll it up,
but let it remain in the salt until you
take off another; then place that one
upon the other, sailing freely as before.
and so on until you get enough to make
quite pile; then commence another
pile in the same manner. Do not be
afraid to use salt freely; what the skins
do not require will shake off, and can be
used again.
If you prefer to dry out your skins
before selling them, be sure that they
are thoroughly cured with salt before
driving them, and then that they are
thoroughly dried before being baled up
for shipment.
Never dry out skin without having
it sailed as described to preserve it from
moths and other injuries on the hair
side, which are liable to occur if the
skins are not properly sailed before be-
ing dried out.
If your skins remain on hand very
long after being dried out before de-
livery to the tanner, even if sailed,
watch them carefully to detect any in
dications of moths or worms on the
hair side, and if any are discovered,
have the skins vigorously whipped with
stick SO often that they shall be wholly
eradicated from the entire lot of skins,
as they often work serious injury in a
very short Chicago Shoe and

CHICKEN CHOLERA.

A Disease Usually Due to the Filthy Con-
dit'On of the Poultry Yard.
Why does the cholera break out in
those yards where the birds seem appar-
emily well when the disease is least ex-
pected? The question may be answered
in one word-filth. Suppose a dairy
man should keep his herd of COWS in a
dirty stable, with foul odors ever pres
ent, damp floors and the manure re-
moved from the stalls only OCCASION
ally, with water to drink from mud
puddles, into which the soluble SUBJ
stances of the manure had been washed,
would such COWS exist long? We think
not And we may also ask if it would
not be even worse for them should the
food of the COWS be thrown on the drop
pings of the yard, to be mixed with the
filth and manure, if the consequences
would not be fatalP Yet such is the
way the hens are sometimes treated.
The droppings remain in the poultry
house for indefinite periods, they have
but little fresh water and often
none at all, and the yards in
which they run contain the ac'
cumulations of years. The cholera
can not be avoided under such condi-
TONS 1t attacks every bird in the flock,
and holds high carnival over the bodies
of It's victims. What is the remedy? Not
doctoring the birds, for that is useless
under tile circumstances, but remove
the cause Thoroughly clean out the
poultry house and disinfect the roosts,
nests and walls by the free use of car
bolic acid and whitewash, and spade up
the yards, then sprinkling them with
Douglas mixture. which is composed of
a pound of copperas, gill of sulphurio
acid and two gallons of water. If the
premises are Kept clean there is but little
danger of cholera, but care must be
taken that no portion of the premises
be overlooked upon which any of the
germs may remain. The cholera may
be known by the sick birds being very
thirsty, and having an anxious, nervous
appearance, the droppings being green
and watery. The remedy most available
is to give a spoonful of solution Of
boracic acid to each fowl,-Farna, Field

ABOUT PETRIFAcTIoN.
Scientific Journals Opinion Concernin
Fortified Flesh.


Stories of frogs and toads inclosed in
solid rock and other fables of the same
nature frequently appear in the daily
and weekly papers. One not dissimilar,
though vastly more absurd, of the find
ing of two living bats imbedded in
solid lump of bituminous coal from
coal mine in Maryland is now going
the rounds, and will probably not rest
till the press from Maine to California
has given publication to it. There was
said to have been no crevice admitting
the entrance of these wonderful bats,
and that there was clearly formed inn
preston left by them. The inference
no, the only "conclusion"-is that
these hoary chiropterans are liv-
ing remnants of the conforming
age. 1t was not long ago that just
such story was told of an an
cent toad in another coal mine, only
this time the carboniferous batrachian
had become, as was naturally expected,
very much desiccated. 1t is very
strange with what persistence such
myths and fables retain their hold on
popular credence. Men of high in
telligence will aver their belief in petri-
fled human bodies, and'we have known
a shrewd business man to exhibit what
he firmly believed was large mass of
fossil buffalo flesh, snews, muscles,
blood and all. What more natural
thing could there be than the finding of
toad or bat, dead, alternating or ac-
tive, in the crevices of coal miner
and yet, doubtless, to one wholly I'M
