RUsSIA's GREAT SECRET.
How Marshall Jewell stole Her Method
of Making Leather.

How Marshall Jewell stole Her Method
of Making Leather.
In one of the stores on Broadway lately,
says New York Herald writer, noticed
some fine Russia leather goods of various
kinds, and was tempted through curiosity
to take closer look at them.
"Why is it," l asked the proprietor,
=" that these goods cannot be manufactured
in this country as well as in Russia ?"
Bless your heart" he said, "these
goods are made right here, in this coun-
try, and neither Russia nor any other
place can make them any better. You see,
for long while Russia enjoyed monop-
oily of this sort of work until Connecticut
Yankee happened on the scene and caught
on, so to speak, to the secret of its manu-
facture.
"This leather was manufactured in a
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 n man once en-
tered this factory it was life job with
him. He had to stay there.
"Other men were sent there disguised.
but so carefully was the place watched that
nothing could be learned, and finally all
attempts at discovering the secret were
abandoned, and the Russians were allowed
to continue their monopoly undisturbed,
although many limitations of it were man
ufactured.
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 tanneries in Connecticut.
OF course he had heard of this now famous
factory, and, more from curiosity than
from any desire to learn the secret of the
business, he expressed wish to inspect
the works.
The Russian authorities never sus-
pected that Mr.. Jewell was interested in
the leather business himself, and in his
official capacity the factory owners, who
were aided by the Government in main
tanning their secret, felt rather compli-
mented that Mr.. Jewell should have ex-
pressed such a desire, and accordingly Mr.
jewell, as it were, was given the freedom
of the factory
For three days the United States Min
lister remained in the Russian town and
visited the factory many times. He was
quick to catch on and he did catch on
SO much SO that on his return to the
United States he determined to put the
knowledge he had thus acquired to prac-
teal test.
The result was that Mr.. Jewell was
soon manufacturing Russia leather on
his own account. His first experiment
was a perfect success, and now, as conse-
quence, this sort of leather, as you will
perceive, is manufactured in this country
equal in every respect to the best that
Russia can now turn out"

"a FEIsND. LADS. A FRIEND

OF all the good gifts that in royalest measure
Drop down to the earth from the beautiful
skies
friend lads, friend is the fittest treasure,
A friend with soul in his straight-looking
eyes;
A near one, dear one, sterling and sound
one,
Scarce twice is he found in our LIES working
day;
Thank God with rejoicing if only you've found
And love him and keep him for ever and aye.
All. comrades enow (be it said with decorum)
You'll get for the asking in hamlets and
towns.
Who gaily will empty the glasses you pour EN-,
And laugh at your sallies and borrow your
crowns.
But these jolly birds are of volatile feather;
They fly with the autumn and come with
the spriug;
If clouds are presaging change in the
weather,
They'll bid you good bye with flick of the
wing.
A friend, lads. God bless himl waIm-hearted,
stout-handed,
He's loving and loyal and always the same:
But still to your foilies he's open and candid
You prize his approval, you shrink from his
blame,
He'll laugh at your side when the Maytime is
shining,
But closer he'll draw on the storm beaten
way;
He's Ike the old coat with the honest warm
inning
You'll find out his worth in wfntery day.

How TO split Paper.

ooh, dear have picture printed on
one side of this paper and some reading
matter on the other, and l wanted to save
both," said a young lady recently, who
was pasting scraps into book.
well, you can save BOTH" said her
friend.
why, how can | do that?'
There are two ways of splitting piece
Of paper. One Is to lay the sheet of paper
on a piece of glass, soak it thoroughly with
water and then press it smoothly all over
the glass. With a little care the upper
half of the sheet can be peeled off, leaving
the under half on the glass Let this dry
and it will come off the glass easily; of
course the glass must be perfectly clean.
The second way is better one, but it re-
quires some good practice. Paste piece
of cloth or strong paper on each side Of the
sheet to be split. When it has thoroughly
dried pull the two pieces of cloth apart
suddenly and violently. The paste can
then be softened with water and the two
halves of the sheet easily taken off the
cloths. Men York Mail and Express

this hillock to our right Aha what's
this? An impossible wall Such it is
there is no mistake. We find, with a
shock of disappointment, that in this di-
rection the field of our knowledge is
sharply limited.
Then we start out in the opposite di-
| rection. The field seems wide and fair.
This way, we say, it is boundless. We
travel on happily for time, and all at
once another wall, that there is no getting
| over, confronts US.
Then we turn to the right, and ex-
plore again. and find at last the same thick
wall before us To the left, and the wall
is there, too.
A great many of us never live to fol-
low the wall clear around. We die with
the impression that nowhere, in this direc-
ton, perhaps maybe in that, the way is
open, and the field of our knowledge Him
liable. Perhaps We are happier for think
ing so. But the wisest man is he who has
lived long enough and labored diligently
enough to learn that the utmost knowl-
edge that is open to him is to know his
limitations"
When Chevreul, the French chemist,
had celebrated his Tooth year--a long life
spent in study--he called himself le DOZEN
des etudiant, the dean, the eldest, of the
students. And more lately still, having
passed his 1o2d birthday, he said:
They persist in calling me the savant
the wise man. 1t is false"
Nevertheless, NJ de Chevreul may pass
for wise man, as wisdom goes But his
wisdom is of modest kind.
But the consciousness of the Limitations
of earthly knowledge ought not to discour-
age any young student. Because we can
not know all, it does not follow that we
may not know much, if we seek it in the
right spirit. And it seems as if these i'm
penetrable walls that we can net pass were
really slowly moving further and further
away, and forever enlarging the field of
human knowledge. Some new thing is
kept for every ago. Emerson himself, one
of the wisest of men, says:
Mature, like a cautious testator, ties up
her estate, so as not to bestow it all on one
generation, but has a forelooking tender
ness and equal regard to the next and the
next, and the fourth and the fortieth age"
There are still treasures well worth the
finding in the field of acknowledgements
ones, perhaps than any that have yet been
found. But the person who assumes that,
in any direction, he knows all there is to
know, is sure to butt his head against the
wall YOutFs Co1nDdnion

Poultry Pointers.

A small hen will lay as large eggs as
will heavy hen and requires less room
Endeavor to keep hens instead of pullets
as the eggs will then be more uniform.
The non-sitting breeds will lay as well
in winter as the sitters if they are kept
warm and comfortable
Never use stale eggs for nest eggs. Nest
egg gourds are best. A single stale egg
may ruin your reputation.
Never ship an egg that is dirty or in any
manner soiled. The appearance is prime
factor in the sale of any article.
A flock may be composed of some of the
best layers to be found, yet the average
number of eggs secured may be low.
Do not construct a poultry-house for
your own convenience. The poultry-house
should be built with view of prompting
the comfort of the fowls, and keeping
them in proper condition for laying
Birds always prefer the open air. They
do not favor remaining indoors, no matter
how clean and bright the poultry-house
may be.
The non-sitting breeds are Leghorns,
Hamburgs, Red Caps, Minorcas, Black
Spanish, Polish, Houdans, Creveceurs and
La Fleches.
Economy is always commendable.
Economy in constructing poultry house
means that you should secure the greatest
space on the floor at the least cost.
When egg production alone is your OBJ
ject, you need no males. The hens will
lay as well without them sometimes bet
ter and the eggs will keep three times as
long.
If a hen lays one egg week she will pay
all expenses of keep. Every egg over is
profit. The greater the number of eggs
secured the lower the cost of each egg pro.
portionally.
Always assert your eggs. Do not have
several colors and sizes together. Put the
dark eggs in one basket and the light ones
in another, and pick out the small ones to
be sold separateiy.--Fancier's Reriar.

OVER THE BALUsrER.
Over the baluster bends a face.

Over the baluster bends a face,
Darlngly sweet and beguiIing.
Somebody stands in careless grace,
And watches the picture smiling.
The light burns dim in the hall below,
Nobody sees her standing;
Saying good night again, soft and SLOW,
Half way up TO the landing
Nobody, only the eyes of brown.
Tender and full OF meaning,
That smile on the fairest face in town,
Over the baluster leaning.
Tired and sleepy, with dropping head,
w0noer why she fingers,
And when all the good nights are said
Why somebody holds her fingers
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
suddenly growing holder,
Til her loose hair drops its masses brown
Like mantle over his shoulder.
Over the baluster soft hands fair
Brush his cheeks like feather:
Bright brown tresses and dusky hair
Meet and mingle together.
There's question asked, there's swift cares
She has flown like a bird from the hallway
But over the baluster drops Yes
That shall brighten the world tor him always

sion OF America to the cause
of religion cannot well be- over
estimated. Americas influence is
widespread among nations and the

truth would travel on the wings Of
American influence and encircle the

favored aristocracy in the church upon
whom so much care is lavished that none
remains for others. The strength of the
church to-day is the people who are held
by their intellect and heart. We have a
