1t we ghed about 200 pounds and was
about a inch and third thick. After be-
ing put n a reservoir OF pure water to green
it, il was beaten for one hour every day with
an iron on a large anvil. After being ten
DAYS in pure water It was left for another
ten day in water with about 4 per cent. of
salt Then it was replaced in pure water
again for twenty days. During those forty
days 1t was constantly in soak.
The head and feet, weighing about 800
pounds, were then removed and the skin
hung OH spikes in the drying room After
hanging one day it was put in a vat contain
ing pots sh and a small quantity OF sulphur of
sodium IN the following proportions; Water,
1000 pa Is; Stacked lime, 25 parts; potash, 8
parts; sulphur OF sodium, parts. After be-
ing two days in this bath it was rinsed in
pure water of a temperature of 10 deg, when
It was again placed in the drying room.
After this double operation was repeated
three times the skin was ready to have the
hair tax IN of. This operation occupied about
one days time and gave about seventy five
pounds Of hair. Another day was spent in
cleaning and scraping. By this time it lost
so per cent. OF its weight The operation Of
its preparation lasted two months and it went
through the same course as cowhide with the
difference that each phase of the work took
three times as much time. The skin should
be stretoh he'd in the pit and placed in the mid
die of cowhdes. Six layers of powder are
then thrown in; two first, two second, and
two third layers Altogether the tanning

Tho American Climate.

At the opening of the British associations
geographical section President de Winton
pointed out that 1.-THE effect of climate upon
race is somewhat remarkably illustrated by
the physique and nerve power OF the present
race of Americans" Two centuries ago they
were the same race as the English, but now
the contrast is marked. Our climate, ac-
cording 10 the eminent geographer, has given
Americans ian individual stamp" and has
made perceptible difference in the outward
semblance even In this short space Of time
This interesting note of the pronounced ef
feet OF climate on race deserved more prac-
teal elaboration than Col. de Winton had
time TO give it. Great Britain has an insular
climate with low barometer, which is re-
Taxing to the human frame. 1t has been
well said that in a heavy atmosphere the ele
plant would become a comparatively active
animal, while in rarefied air he would become
pressure averages higher than in England
The climate is continental, with more Of ex-
hilarating sunlight and more of the element
of cold, which, within certain limits, Is ad-
judged by all Psychologists to be powerful
tonic and therapeutic agent OF much value
In fact, the chief characteristic of our eli
mate is the excess of its nerve stimulating
country tends to exhaust overworked, i'll fed,
i'll clad and anaemic people. But, on the
whole, the Anglo-Saxon race has not suffered
by the transfer from an insular to a CONT

Large shipment of Birds.

Mr.. L nile Scheuerman shipped at one time
nearly 600 birds of several different varie-
ties 10 New York, from which place they
will lie exported to Europe. The shipment
yesterday comprised sea pigeons and several
varietie of terms, varying in size the largest
being about the size of a common pigeon and
the smallest about as large martin. The
prevailing colors of these birds are white
and pearl in light and dark shades the points
of the wings and tails being tipped with
black. These birds are killed on Sand and
Pettibois islands, where they are partly pre-
pared by seven girls employed by Mr.. Scheuer-
man. They are then shipped to this city
and the finishing touches are put on accord
ing 10 tie most approved methods known to
the tax dermists, by Mr.. Scheuerman and
his assis ant, Mrs Mamie Campbell
The birds are prepared whole, retaining all
the beauty of the plumage. These birds are
for use n the milliner's art, being used to
adorn tie hats and bonnets OF fashionable
ladies. Some are dyed, while others are used
in their natural plumage
In response to questions, Mr.. Scheuerman
said he had been engaged in this business for
nearly two Years, with much success. There
are only two other persons engaged in the
business in the south, one having headquar-
tiers at New Orleans and the other at Charles
ton. He learned taxidermy from a gentle
man who had formerly been connected with
the Smithsonian Institute. The business OF
mounting birds for sale was not a success.
He had mounted a great many, but there Is
no sale f1r them. Since the Ist Of June he
has shipped 10000 birds to New York, aud
there is a good demand for them.-Mobile

Asia. AbI..t soldier.

Nearly forty years ago In South Hunting
ton township, WeStmoreland county, lived
John Hinton. He was an orphan boy, rude
and uneducated, and had wandered there
from the neghborhood Of Masontown Fay
cite county. With no known relatives he
was kicked from one family to another till
manhood, enllsting then in the war At
Its close he helped To escort the Chero-
KEGS beyond the Mississippi Prom In
dian territory he went to New Orleans and
shipped as a common sailor on vessel bound
for the East Indies. At the Bay VI Madras,
on the western shores Of the Bay of Bengal,
he deserted and enlisted ia British regi-
meut He served many years, and during
the memorable Sepoy rebellion was noted for
his daring bravery. At his discharge he was
presented with gold medal 10y the governor
general himself
He Is next heard Of travelling IN a caravan
from Delhi westward across the Indus river,
through Afghanistan and Persia, 10 Turkey
and back. In time from trading he became
immensely wealthy and was the owner OF five
caravans, containing IS, 900 horses and camels
and fifty elephants. In 1873 he visited Cabul,
the capital Of Afghanistan, for copper, great
quantities Of which are there mined and
sInelted His magnificent retinue attracted
the attention of the ameer and he was invited
70 an audience. an honor never before re-
ceived by Christian. A present of 100 Of
his best horses and a Unrestricted elephant
made the ameer his eternal friend, When
yearly IL was followed by similar presents,
besides camels and merchandise. John Hinton
gained the monopoly Of trade from the sum-
init of the Hindoo Koosh mountains to the
confines Of the Belloochistan, and in real
power is second only to the ameer himself
About 1850 he was made military COM
mander Of the district VI Herat, aud in 1850
suppressed local rebellion to the great salts

Of war among the savages Of North America
and among the superstitious natives OF India,
