Gloves OF Human skin.

"Gloves which are sold as kid are

Of 7l6 Pine street yesterday. The skin

lis soft and pliable and may be- us ed
for the making OF gloves. When people
buy gloves they never stop TO question
about the material OF which they are
made. The shopkeeper himself may be
in ignorance, and the purchaser has no
means OF ascertaining whether the ma
terial Is human skin or not. The fact
Is the tanning of human skin is extern
sively carried on in France and Switzer-
land. The product is manufactured
into gloves. aud these are imported in
TO this country. Thus you see person

tive's body and not know it,"
Then the doctor drew from a drawer
4 brand new pair OF black gloves.
There" he said. lis fine article
made from the skin OF child. AS the
hide OF II 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 in France for
glove purposes.
The skin on mans back makes
good sole leather" said the doctor.
Mature mas protected mans spine by
a skin which is much heavier than that
on other parts OF the body. Here is
piece OF well tanned skin from the calf
of mans leg" And the doctor dis
played bit of white leather, strong
and thick.
In museum in Belgium are the
bodies of six members of one family.
They were all buried in a lanyard, and
when they were eXhumed years after
ward the skin, flesh and even the bones
were well prererved. so thoroughly
tanned were all the parts. These
specimens are in a better state OF
preservation than are the Egyptian
mummies.
A few years ago General Benjamin
Butler eifectually checked the tanning
of human skin in Massachusetts, and
since that time the business has ceased.
The few samples OF tanned human skin
now obtainable were made by scientists
as an experiment.
DIR. Nardyz formerly possessed "a fine
pair of slippers made Of the skin OF n
member of the genus homo, but his
wife did not like the idea OF her hus-
band literally wearing IA dead mans
shoes, and so one day they vanished.
The doctor does not say word. but he
thinks he knows who is responsible for
their disappearance. - Philadelphia

Joe Biggar, Tim Healy and handful
of determined spirits were giving the
British public its most trying expert
ence with obstruction, and when the
great machine was held notion
ingenious men. When Joseph Biggar
used his prerogative "a member OF
parliament by having the galleries OF
the house cleared simply because he
saw the prince OF Wales In one of them,
when the whole policy OF the Irish
party was TO render itself so obnoxious
that the English nation would tire OF
it and let it 90 home TO legislate in
Dublin, and when "Buckshot" Forster
was nightly baited in the house. some
what as bull is baited in Spanish
bull ring. there was general senti-
ment in good many parts OF England
that the Irish party was about as dis
reputable as it well could be. No one
who was so fortunate as to be present
in parliament at its first meeting after
that spring morning when Lord Frede-
rick Cavandish and Under Secretary
Burke were murdered in Phoenix park
will ever forget the aversion for tho
Irish members of parliament that was
shown by their English colleagues nor
the half-cowed look on Parnel's face
rs he led his little phalanX into the
house to meet the attacks that were to
follow.
Affairs have changed since that time.
There is no lack OF English cheers for
the Irish leader when he enters the
house on any field night. and when he
speaks, which is not often, for he is
sparing OF words, instead OF having TO
meet jeers and bowls as he once did,
he is listened TO with an interest scarce
ly second to that shown when Glad
stone is up, despite the fact that he
never strives TO shine as an orator.
The position of the other members OF
the parliamentary party has changed
in similar, though TO n less extent.
Nevertheless Englishmen do not see in
them qualities TO admire TO the extent
that Americans do. | must confess
that | was attracted quite as much as
the average American by a number Of
these bright young men who are proud
To be called Parnell's lieutenants.
They are as bright, able, CHEEKY a
group OF men as one could we'll wish to
meet, and there is not one of them who

cess in almost anything. In fact these
plucky fellows who have had their wits
sharpened by an incessant warfare with
both the great parties in England and
with the greatest of English tacticians
from Gladstone down are a great deal
more attractive than the young En-
glishmen in the house, who, TO tell the
truth, are not as a rule impressive.
OF course most Of these men have
been TO America many times and are
familiar with its people and customs.
Some of them like O. Kelly, Il. Z. Gill,
Justin Mccarthy and others have
worked on American newspapers, and
any number OF them are correspondents
OF American journals. There is no lack
OF bright newspaper men in London,
although the average reporter is, from
an American standpoint, n very poor
stick. But the special and editorial
writer's are frst-class, and among these
the Irish members OF parliament rank
high.

A GLIMPSE OF THE LEADING

Freedom-P arnell on Field Night,
0Kelly, Gill, the McOarthys,

The Cronin tragedy was a blow lin
the face of Parnell the like of which he
has not received since Lord Frederick
Cavendish was struck down in Phoenix
park. Irish leaders are still uncertain
as TO the extent to which the Irish
movement will be retarded by it. They
all admit that it has injured them much,
but having said this they will say no
more.
From such observation as could be
made | should say that the Chicago
affair has nullified all the work in be-
half of home rule that Gladstone and
Parnell have done within the past
year. The only thing to be done is for
them to put their shoulders to the
stone and roll it up the hill again. But
the stone is heavy and Gladstone is get
ting old, and so the tories and union
lists look on and whisper TO each other,
"How long will he last?n 1t is a
mighty important question for Ireland.

But Parnell and his band will keep
up the fight, and an interesting fight
it is, too, considering the clever men
engaged in it.
Englishmen never can understand
how it is that the first thing that most
Americans proceed TO do when they ar
rive in London is 10 use every means
at hand to visit the house of commons
lust to get look at Gladstone and
Parnell, as they put it. Englishmen
could understand the American desire
to see the Grand Old Man, for, aside
from few stout old tories-whO believe
Gladstone TO be little less than fend
incarnate, who is seeking to ruin the
greatest empire on earth, they
are generally willing to admit that the
old statesman is worth going good
ways to see. But that Parnell should
come next in point of popularity to
strangers is TO them pulling. One
Londoner, discussing this matter with
me, remarked that most Americans
seem to labor under the impression
that there are only two really great
men in the three kingdoms -Glads
and the uncrowned king Of Ireland.
This is OF course stretching it little,
but it certainly is true that eight Amer
leans out Of ten who secure admission
to the gallery of the house ask first
where is Gladstone?" and then
"Where is Parnell?" The attaches of
the house have grown accustomed TO it
and accept the situation philosophical
ly. They look upon this curiosity as
an American trait of character some
what on the plane with the yankees
supposed prediction for cocktails,
mint juleps and plug tobacco Equally
queer &c the average Englishman is the
manner in which majority of Ameri-
cans seem TO take To the bright body
of young men who follow Parnell i'm the
house of commons The Parnellites
stand infinitely better than they did u
few years ago, but there is still large
element in England that looks upon
them with a good deal of disfavor.
Even so conservative and generally in
offensive n man as Justice Mccarthy
still suffers from it socially and, in
material sense, since there are certain
quarters in which his books are still
practically boycotted. 1t was one Of
the earlier Irish patriots who served
notice on England at the time OF the
passage of the act of the union that
since England compelled Ireland to
send men to the British parliament in
London or nowhere, Ireland would
send to Westminster, by way of retail
t.tion, the greatest collection of black
guards that the kingdom could pro-
duce.
