Human Leather.

1t is not very pleasing thought that
human skin tanned into the most delicate
leather is now becoming Il commercial
commodity. The eXigencies of trade
have stimulated demand in at least one
industry for the outer covering of the
human being. A few grades of gloves
sold in this city are manufactured from
this material in France and Switzerland,
where the tanneres have been quietly
supplying human leather to the glove
makers for some years. \ New York World
reporter examined a strip Of close grained
human leather the other day which is in
the possession of Mr.. A. J. Moore, of
the boots and Shoes Weekly. 1t was taken
from mans back, AMI is as thick as
the ordinary sole leather. Leather ex-
perts say that as the hide of Kid COM
pares with that of goat so of course
does that OF a child compare in pliable
texture with that of an adult. Nature
has protected mans spine by skin
which is much heavier than on other
parts of his body save the sole of the
foot and heel. Bits of skin from the
human heel have been tanned up into
leather almost an inch thick. But in
these days of Brown-Sequard elixirs and
little towns with big heads that want the
1892 Fair nothing is wonderful.
