No Use for the Pigs.

An insurance man whose 0lllce
in on the corner Of Dearborn and
Madison streets was approached
at his desk the other day by ped
bier. who was offering for sale
these difficult "pigs in clover puz-
zles in miniature, IN which bird
shot take the place OF marbles and
run around uncertainly'uDder glass
and in slippery brass pathw ays.-
This is the most aggrayating form
of the puzzle because the shot. are
exceedingly unruly when man
tries to pat them lin the pen. well
the insurance man bought three Of
them for quarter and he worked
on Que for nearly an hour. Then
he became dlsgusted, holsted bis
Madison street window, and fired
the measly little lhing over to the
opposite curbstone. II fell among
a lot OF street gamlns and Of course
there was a great scramble for the
prize. When the victor secured it
the boys all gazed at the windows
near by to see who had thrown it,
but the dlsgusted insurance man
had long since closed his window
and was back at his desk hard at
work.-Chicdg0 HefdId.

GLOVES OF HUMAN SKIN.
THEY ARE SOLD AS THE BEST
ARTICLE ~ KID.

THEY ARE SOLD AS THE BEST
ARTICLE ~ KID.
"Gloves which are sold as Rld
are often made of human skin"
said DIR. Mark L. Nardyz, the
Greek physician, of No. ZIG Pine
street, Yesterday. "The skin on
the breast continued the physi.
clan, "is soft and plIable, and may
be used IN the making of gloves.
When people buy gloves they never
stop to question about the material
of which they are made. The
shopkeeper himself may he IN
ignorance, and the purchaser has
no means Of aseertaining whether
the material is human skin or not.
The tact is the tanning Of human
skin is extensively carried on IN
France and Switzerland. The
product Is manufactured into
gloves, and these are imported into
this country. Thus you see per-
son may be wearing part of dis
tant relatives body and not know
it,
Then the doctor drew from a
drawer brand new PAIR of black
gloves. "There," be saiG, sis a
fine article made from the skin Of
child. AS the hide OF the kid
compares with that Of goat, so,
of course, does the skin of a child
compare with that of an adult, and
it is much sought in France for
glove purposes.
"The skin on mans back
makes good sole leather SAID the
doctor. Nature has protected
mans spine by skin that is much
heavier than that on other parts
OF the body. Here is piece of
well.tanned skin from the calf of a
mans leg" And the doctor dis
played a b., Of white leather,
strong and thick.
In a museum in Belgium are the
bodies of six members of one fam
lily. They were all buried in a
lanyard, and when they were
exhumed, years afterwards, the
skin, flesh ana even the bones
were we'll preserved, 50 thoroughly
tanned were all the parts. The
specimens arc in a better state OF
preservation than are the Egypt
ian mummies.

This DR.. Gray, f. r. S., D. Sc,
was very clever; very irascible,
and he had but very few intimate
friends. Not, however, because he
was irascible, for it was BY fits and
starts only that he snapped and
snarled; but because he was IN.
sOcisble, and the habits of the re-
cluse grew upon him, aud each
year of the ten he had lived alone
in his modest fat IN Mordlcamp
Mansions he had withdrawn more
and more from society, and the
few friends who really loved and
admired him we're sad at heart, for
the clever doctor was only Just for
tJ, and bis dark hair ought not TO
be turning gray so rapidly and
there was a look in his beautitn |
keen eyes sometimes that made
sentimental women when they
caught it, which was not often,
say he had "a story"
And so he had, but the book
wherein it was written down was
closed and put away ten years ago
before he became fsmous-before
he came 10 Mordicsmp Mansions.
One or two old friends, such as
TON Teesdale and his wife, knew
the story, and willingly would
they have written the chapter,
which was still untold, IN their
own way. But the doctor stoutly
declared that it would never be
written-while he lived-snd
what could the kindest friend do
or cay, but Just listen to him and
SUBMIT
When tue story began, as sto.
ries so often do, with a tender and
even romantic love passage, Mar
maduke Gray had not reached the
professors char which be now so
ably filled, bat ii was well.known
that honors and distinctions were
before him. Indeed, for his age,
he was one of the most gifted
among many able compeers, and

you could get him away from his

Where Hammocks Were First Use d.

Prot. w. K. BROOKS, OF the Johns
Hopkins University, has elaborated
the chronological character of the
people who inhabited the islands
6rst discovered by Columbus in
1892. Americas discoyerer, says
he, found the islands where he first
landed peopled by prosperous
and happy race, to which he gave
the name Indians. The islands
have since been named the Ba.
hamas. The people in their own
language called thensel yes the
Ceboynas and their islands the
Lucayss. Within fifteen years
after their discovery the entire
population was exterminsted by
the ungrateful Spaniards. Moth
ing whatever has been known OF
the race since then except the
meagre notes left by Co Olumbus.-
During his visit TO the Bahamas
while in charge of the Johns
Hopkins marine laboratory DIR.
Brooks obtained material for the
snthropological study of the tor.
gotten race. This was In the shape
of skulls aud other bones OF the
skeletons Of the ancient people,
During the whole winter the Pro-
lessor has been engaged in making
study of the ethn illogical charac-
ter of these people, m easuring and
describing the skull. The study
which he has made is quite yalu.
able, but has an additional interest
owing to the preparations now 60
ing forward to celebrate in three
years the 400th annlve rsary Of the
discovery OF America. The results
are ABOUT to be published III the
memoirs of the National Academy
of Sciences. The skulls Of the
race are interesting even TO a casual
observer. The forehead Is all gone,
tue head having been hattened
from above downward in infancy
by pressure between boards. This
was a practice common amoug the
many races of American Indians.
It has been coDjectured that the
, ruling classes Of Mexico, the priests,
had fat heads by nature, and the
flattening of skulls, so general
among the Indians of both North
and South America ls SAID to owe
! it's origin to an attempt to initiate
this sristocracy. Except tor the
bones which DR.. Brooks has been
studying, the only trace of the ex.
istence of the race is found in the
word "hammock" and in the article
itself. 1t is not generally known
that both of these were peculiar to
the extinct race. Columbus dis
covered them two days after he
had effected lsnding.-BGltimOre

HELENA, Dec. TIT is probable an In
formal conference will be held by few
republican and democratic senators in the
course of a few days. The representa-
tives Of both sides are acting as coyly
about the matter as a pair of rustic
lovers. A meeting was arranged for
the other day at the Cosmopolitan hotel.
The democratic senators were promptly
on hand at the appointed hour, but their
republican friends failed to come to time.
Yesterday morning four senators, two
from each parry, met for an explanation.
The republicans claim to have misunder-
stood the hour, place Of meeting, ETC., but
they have expressed willingness and de-
sire to have the conference take place.

The Dead Confederate Leader.

New ORLEANS, Dec. S.--The remains
of Jefferson Davis are lying in state in
the council chamber of the city hall. The
coffin rests upon catafalque devoid of
much ornamentation. The casket has a
silver plate upon which is the simple in
scription Jefferson Davis at Rest" with
the date of death.
Badges of confederate associations, the
flag Of the Washington artillery, carried
through the war, and bunch Of wheat
and a pair Of crossed Spanish daggers
fastened together with a purple ribbon,
are the only other ornaments.
The room is lighted only by clusters of
electric lights, their brilliancy dimmed
by sable drapery. Soldiers in uniform
stand guard. Stacks of arms and cannon
fill the corners of the chamber and all
around the walls are rows of plants and
shrubbery. Since the early morning peo-
pie have been pouring in to obtain a last
look at the dead.
