RUSSIA'S GREAT SECRET.
How Marshall Jewell Stole Their Method
of Making Leather.

How Marshall Jewell Stole Their Method
of Making Leather.
In one of the stores on Broadway
lately, l noticed some fine Russian
leather goods of various kinds, and was
tempted through curiosity to take a
closer look at them.
"Why is it, asked the proprietor,
''that these goods can not be manu-
featured in this country as we'll as in
Russia"
''Bless your heart" he said, "these
goods are made right here in this
country, and neither Russia nor any
other place can make them any better.
You see, for long while Russia en-
joyed a monopoly at this sort of work
until a Connecticut Yankee happened
on the scene and caught on, so to
speak, to the secret of its manufacture.
'This leather was manufactured in a
large factory situated in one of the
towns of northern Russia. The owners
possessed some secret about curing the
leather, which they jealousy guarded.
England and other countries sent
operatives to this factory to learn the
secret, but when a man once entered
the factory it was life job with him.
He had to stay there.
"Other men were sent there dis
| guised, but so carefully was the place
watched that nothing could be learned
and finally all attempts at discovering
| hn no nd
Russians were allowed to continue
their monopoly undisturbed although
many limitations of it were manufac-
tured.
''About this time the late Marshall
p. Jewell was Minister to Russia from
this country. Mr. Jewell had been
brought up in the leather business and
! was then the owner of several tanner
les in Connecticut. Of course he had
heard of this now famous factory, and
more from curiosity than from any de-
sire to learn the secret of the business
he expressed a wish to inspect the
works.
THE Russian authorities never sus
pected that Mr.. Jewell was interested
in the leather business himself, and III
his official capacity the factory owners
who were aided by the Government
in maintaining their secret, felt rather
J complimented that Mr.. Jewell should
have expressed such desire, and &C
cordingly Mr.. Jewell, as it were, wa
given the freedom of the factory
"For three days the United States
} Minister remained in the Russian toWl
; and visited the factory many times
} He was quick to catch on and he di'
: catch on so much that on his return
to the United States he determined t.
put the knowledge he had thu
acquired to practical test.
? 1.-The result was that Mr.. Jewell wa

The treatment Of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
DIR. Pierce's FaVOrite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, Of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands OF
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had baffled their skill, prove 1t to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. 1t
is not recommended as "cure-all." but
as a most perfect Specific for woman
peculiar ailments.
AS a powerful, invigOrating tonic,
it imparts strength to the whole system,
and to the uterus, or womb and its APP
pendages, in particular. For overTorketd'

| "shOp-girls," houSekeepers, nursing moth
