And they edged away from Kalamazoo.
But Gotham's naughty soul was stirred
To crush the stranger with one small word

The Doctor,

Oh, doctor, in our hours Of ease,
We scorn your counsel as we please;
When peach and watermelon green
The bosom rings with anguish green;
When in the night the hoarse 'ka-whoop"
Rouses the house with fear Of Group;
When midst the storm that rends the skies
''Newralagy" tackles grandma's eyes;
When roaring thunder clouds low hung,
Retard the play of mas left lung;
When wintry drifts the roads impede,
And baby's nose begins TO bleed;
When hub deep mud clogs all the way,
And Tommy's earache comes to stay;
Whenever the least OF human ills
Clamors for poultices or pills,
Come right away-no matter how
A ministering angel thou;
All aches and pains are cured by you.

Thcy Are Soft, Pliabio and Much Souefh

 "Gloves winch are sold as kid arc often made cf hu.,an skin," said Dr. Mark L. Nardyz, the Creek physician, to Philadcl-, phia Record reporter. ''The skin on the breast" continued the physician, lis soft and pliable, and may be used ill the making of gloves. When people buy gloves they never stop to question about the material of which they are made. Tho shop-keeper himself may bs in ignorance, and the pur- chaser has no means of ascertaining whether the material is human skin or not Tho fact is, the tanning of human skin is extensively carr jed on in France and Swift zerland. The product is manufactured into gloves, and these arc imported into this country. Thus you see a person may be wearing part of a distant relatives body and not know it."
 Then the doctor drew from drawer a bran-new pair of black gloves. ''There," he said, sis fine article made from the skin of Q child. As the hide of Q kid compares with that of goat, so, of course, does the skin of child compare with that of an adult, and it is much sought Ill France for glove purposes.
 ''The skin on a mans back makes good sole leather" said the doctor. Mature has protected mans spine by skin which is much heavier than that on other parts of the body. Here is a piece of well tanned skin from the calf of a mans leg" And the doctor displayed a bit of white leather, strong and thick.
 In a museum in Belgium are the bodies of six members of ono family. They were all buried in Q lanyard, and when they were exhumed, years afterward, the skin, flesh, and even the bones were well preserved, so thoroughly tanned were all the parts. These specimens are in a better state of preservation than are the Egyptian num- mics.
 A few years ago General Ben Butler effectually checked the tanning of human skin in Massachusetts, and since that time the business has ceased. The few samples of tanned human skin now obtain able were made by scientists as an expert ment

4tle Men nt work WAu Help Those Who are Out. SCoTTDAkE, Pa., Aug. 18.-Word re- ceived to-day from Hecla says every. thing is quiet there. The men who were working Saturday have committed themselves to remain out until tho scale is signed.
 Tho Bessemcr and Standard works arc still idle but will probably resume to- day.
 There arc still 5000 ovens idle in the coke region and Il, 900 men now working have pledged themselves to furnish sustenance to those striking.
 PIrTsBCRG, Pa., Aug. 13.-Reports from the coke region received here to- day state that the Calumet, Mammoth and Mutual Coal Companies on Sewick- Ter branch refuse to sign tho new scale.
 The Hungarians nt these works will not permit the plants owned by Prick and others who have signed the scale to resume operations until tho abovo companies sign their scale.
 Many of the independent operators say that they cannot afford to pay the new scale of prices as they get only % cents per ton from the larger operators who sell their product for them, reali- ztng s1 per ton.
 w. J. Rainey, iron manufacturer, of Cleveland, uses his own product of colke and has coke plants at Mover, Panll and Fort Hill. Rainey signed the seale for his Mover Works only, which pro- duces sufficient coke for his mills, leav- ing tho other works idle. The cokers at Paull and Fort Hill say they will not permit the Mover works to resume un- til the scale is signed at Paull and Fort Hi01 n1co
