first appearance. The alligator skins
were first put on the market in 1875.
Kangaroo skins have only been OH the
market about three years. The skin Of
the porpoise has lately been used for
shoes. and is well considered because of
its fine grain making it waterproof 1t
resembles goat skin. The skin Of the
seal has also been made into leather. and
sells for about $40 dozen skins.
One of the latest novelties is rattle

making pocketbooks. The mottled ap

not made in large quantities, and are

the past few years the hides of horses
have been successfully tanned and pui
