The Most Expensive Leather.

The most costly leather in the

dealer in fine skins and feathers, sis
known to the trade as piano leather.
American tanners years ago discov-
cred the secret of making Russian
leather, with its peculiarly pungent and
lasting odor; but the secret of tanning
piano leather is known only to a family
OF tanners in Thuringia, Germany.
This leather has but one uses the Gov.
erlng ofpiano keys. A peculiar thing
about it is that the skins from which it
Is tanned are procured almost entirely
in America. 1t is particular kind of
buckskin. The skin of the common
red or Virginia deer will not make the
leather, species of the animal known
as the gray deer, and found only in the
vicinity of the great Northern lakes,
alone furnishing the material. The
German tanners have an agency in De-
troit which collects the skins of this
deer from the Indian and half breed
hunters. who supply the market. The
hunters are paid an average price of
about 20 cents a pound for tho green
skins. When the skins are returned
to this country as piano leather they
cost the piano manufacturer from $15
to 41e 3 pound. The worlds supply

Early Americans.

marked characteristic of the early settlers
Of America.
Every thing which pertained to them w.a
plain aud transformations. II sse< -
The food which they ate was frueailv
served and Of the substantial kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and the
moccasins which covered their feet were :
home product, being made from the hide OF
animals and ornamental with beads after
the Indian fashion. 49, ".F
Their homes were simplicity itself, con.
sisting Of roughly hewn logs and home made
shingles-the whole constituting the old
Log Cabin home of frontier life. u
Yet those were model homes. yf., &.
The wives and mothers were well versed
In the art Of all that pertained to house
wifery:
Conspicuous in the early home was the
striking figure of the old grandmother. =
Not only was she the adviser in social at.
fairs but she was the medical adviser and
prescriber for the sick. Often were her
hands engaged in the preparation of some
healing potion or remedy for the relief OF
those in ill-health. Fully versed in all the
bountiful supplies contained in the grand
store-house of Nature, she wisely knew how
to utilize the curative properties contained
In certain roots and herbs and accordingly
she transformed them into certain remedia
agents, which have made the old Log Cabin
famous for all time to come.
Conscious of the great value of some Of
those old time home cures q successful eft
fort has been made to re-discover the los
secret of their preparation, and, coupled
with all the improvement which human in
geuuity and progress suggests, they art
now widely known under the name of War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the most promi
nent being Log Cabin sarsaparilla aud Log
Cabin cough and consumption cure.
The suffering public has been quick tc
recognize and appreciate their true value
and the manufacturers are daily in receip,
of much praise for the re-discovery and re-
vival of these old time remedies against
sickness and disease.
To the old Log Cabin home, however, Is
justly due the praise for all the good which
may, thereby, be effected.

All Had the Same Dream.

1t is a most singular fact that under
certain combined conditions of fatigue,
discomfort and malaria whole bodies
of men-such as companies of soldiers
have been seized by the same terrific
dream, and have been awakened stimuli
taneously shrieking with terror. Such
an instance is related by Laurent,
when. after forced march, eight hun
dred French soldiers were packed in =
ruined Calabrian monastery which
could ill accommodate half that num-
Der. At midnight frightful cries issued
from every corner of the building as
frightened men rushed from it, each
declaring that it was the abode of the
evil one-that they had seen him in
the form of a big black dog. who
threw himself upon their breasts for an
instant and then disappeared. The
men were persuaded to return to the
same shelter or the next night, their
officers promising to keep watch be
side them. Shortly after midnight the
sa1l16 scene was le-enacted-the same
cries, the same flight as the soldiers
rushed forth in a body to escape the
suffocating embrace of the black dog.
The wakeful officers had seen nothing.

RANGE FOR POULTRY.
H0w to Keep Fowls of All Kinds In
Healthy Condition.

hea1Cny CONDITION,
1t is desirable, where it is possible,
to give fowls ample range. The care
is reduced to the minimum in such
cases, and the expense of keeping is
much less. But range is not absolutely
indispensable. The number OF fowls
which can be kept in health and made
to pay in very limited quarterai is much
larger than many, perhaps the most
suppose. But to do this it is necessary
to supply what fowls upon a good range
obtain for themselves.
Fowls upon an extensive range OBJ.
tain plenty of exercise, by which thei,
health is promoted. Fowls in narrow
quarters must be induced to take a cor.
responding amount of exercise if they
are to be kept equally healthy. To dc
this various expedients like buryine
grain, hanging up articles of food just
within their reach. and a constant
turning up of the soil must be rosorted
to. Fowls upon an extended range
obtain variety of food, especially OF
green food and insects. Fowls in mar.
row quarters must be furnished with 8
variety of food, especially of green and
animal food. This is not difficult, but
tt is very often neglected.
Fowls upon an extended range OBJ
tain clean ground, good dus1ing places
and the like. Tho first is obtainable
by constantly stirring the soil, using
;:;sinfectants and the like, and the
second by furnishing box provided
with road dust, sulphur, and SO forth.
In brief, if quarters are kept clean,
variety of food furnished and exercise
2romoted, fowls may be kept in close
confinement and their health will re:
main vigorous. Some Of the finest
specimens have neen raised in narrow
5as:tors. But much greater care Is
necessary to produce the same results.
1t remains exceedingly desirable,
where practicable, to furnish good
range, but there are many men who are
deferred from keeping fowls simply
from the mistaken noti6l, that what is
desirable 10 also indispensable. This
notion ought to be removed, because il
is wholly false. 1t is difficult to imag-
inc any man, living out of the compact
parts of a city, who cannot keep few
fowls it he is willing to take the neces.
sary care. But if man who has bit
limited space desires to Keep fowls. he
should understand that he must supply
the things necessary to health which
fowls having free range are able to
obtain for Reconsideration World,

THE GUM-CHEWING CRAZE.
Muscular Paralysis and Other Danger Fal
to Put a Stnn tn Ii.

muscular Paralysis and Other Danger Fail
to Put a Stop to 1t.
There is danger in chewing gum.
There is danger all around. And vet
the practice is on the increase. At the
present moment it bids fair to become
epidemic. 1t seems, indeed, as though
the danger adds additional charm to a
custom which, some years ago, was ex-
clusively monopolized by the small boy
to the constant annoyance of his
teacher. The small girl caught the
fever, then the large girl, then the
mother, and now it extends throughout
all womankind, and even the dudes
find the exercise not 80 exhausting as
the pleasure is sweet. Muscular
paralysis, squint eyes and lanterned
Jaws have no terrOrs. The maid UNI
observedly pastes her gum on the un-
derside of the piano while she sings a
song at the request of her company,
and forgetfully leaves it there until a
gentleman who follows with piano
solo gets it off with the knee of his
trousers. This is rather embarrassing.
but the maid chews on as vigorously as
ever. The enthusiastic chewing-gum
miss sticks it to the headboard of her
bed after prayers; finds it favored with
the tincture of bedbug in the morning,
and still she chews. 1t may cost her a
big doctors bill to have her jaws
Strengthened out, but even that will
not break her of the habit. A most
frightful experience was that of a
Kentucky lady who laid her gum aside
while she prepared repast of meat
and strychnine for the benefit of some
useless ours that were annoying her.
Having finished her task, she COM
placently put the chewing gum back
again into her mouth. It was only
with the greatest difficulty that the
doctor saved her life from strychnine
poisoning, the substance having by
carelessness been allowed to come in
contact with the gum. And yet it is
dollars to cents that the Kentucky
lady-who is, by tho way, married
woman-chews gum now as vigorously
as ever. The moral of all this seems
to be that is best not to indulge, but if
you must chew don't save old guilds,
but take fresh bit every time.-Balti-
