it has been demonstrated that all sorts of
skins may be tanned. Beasts, birds, fishes
and reptiles have been alike brought TO The
tan yard, and the prices of their skins are re-
gularly quoted in the price current of the
Sh0e dhd Ledther Reporter Alligator skins
have been long a tavOrite material for the
manufacture of pOCketbooks and satchels.
The high price which the first product com.
mandcd soon induced manufacturers to pro.
duCe limitations These are merely embossed
leather. The peculiar scaly nature of the al.
Iigator's hide is successfully initiated by
means OF steel dies, which leave durable
Impression upon the leather, so perfect re.
sembance to the genuine alligator skin that
only experts can tell the difference The
same process is used to initiate other fancy
skins, so that there is no novelty that is not
initiated within three months after its first
appearance. The alligator skins were first
put on the market in 1876.
Kangaroo skins have only been on the
market about three years. The skin of the
porposc has lately been used for shoes, and
is well.cOnsdered, because of its fine grain,
making ii waterproof. 1t resembles goat
skin. The skin of the seal has also been
made into leather and sells for about $40 a
dozen skins.
One of the latest novelties is ratlesnake
leather, which is used chiefly for making
pocketbooks. The notified appearance Of
the finished skin makes pretty leather, and
is rather fashionable. The imitation skins,
made OF embossed sheep skin, are already On
the market. The skin of the monkey has also
been tanned and used for making pocket
books. Bear skins have long been used with
the hair on for caps and coats, and the hides
have also been used Tor leather. OF course
these novelties are not made in large quaint.
ties, and are mostly used for fancy trade.
During the past few years the hides of horses
have been successfully tanned and put upon
the market as standard article of leather.
American kid is now taking a prominent
place in The leather market, and is even pre-
ierred to French kid by many manufacturers,
who find it quite as soft piable and durable,
and much cheaper. 1t is declared that Ameri-
can kid at twenty five cents a foot is equal 10
French kid at forty cents. Pig skins are yet
in demand for saddles.

4 Brave Pilot.

One of the many interesting legends which
are connected with the different parts of Mt
Desert island is the story Of the battle of
NOrwond's Cove. In the war of 1912, two
British frigates, the Dolphin and the Tenedos,
chased an American schooner into the South
west Harbor Not being acquainted with the
waters, the irigates dared not follow, but
anchored just outside of Greening's Island,
while the schooner sought refuge in Nor
woods Cove, behind the forest crowned
ridge. The British dispatched two barges
with nearly one hundred men to capture the
schooner, compelling an American seaman
to act as pilot. Meantime a large band of
fishermen and farmers had secreted them
selves in the woods on the southern shore.
When the barges had approached within
musket shot, the pilot sprang to his feet,
shouting, Give it to EN-, boys; don't mind
me- upon which the Americans opened a
murderous fire, which soon compelled the
British to retreat with the loss of almost the
entire crew of one OF the barges.

All About Laughter.

1t has been observed that laughter is indi.
catlve of particular temper and character, &c.
cordlng to the sound OF the vowel that pre-.
Walls in exclamation. Persons that laugh
in II broad Latin "a" are open hearted, hon
est people, fond OF noisy jocundty, but per
haps OF voluble mood. Excessive jerking
laughter, however, is an evidence Of vulgar
ity. Those laughing in dry "A" are re-
spectacle, but little expansive, and hard lot
OF people. When the Latin "E" prevails,
there prevails also phlegmatic, melancholy
temper. Timorous, unsteady people, also
those lmbued with malignity, laugh in kind
of swelling a." Laughter in 90" is the ut
rerance of proud, bold, imperative, some.
what bantering people. Beware of those

japanese Kindness.

A picture of Japanese life drawn by Pro,
iessor Morse shows such u pleasant relation
existing between the human and the brute
creation that no society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is needed
Birds build their nests in the city houses,
wild fowl, geese and ducks alight in the pub
lie parks, wild deer trot about the street. He
had actually been followed by wild deer in
the streets, nibbling melon rind out of his
Michigan farms. A dog goes to sleep in the
busiest streets; men turn aside so as not to
disturb him. One day beautiful heron
alighted on the limb of tree, and the busy
juslling throng stopped. Every mans hand
went into his pocket, just as they would with
us, but instead OF bringing out a "popper, .
out came pencil and sketching paper.

AstOnishment All Around.

A pious old citizen Of Carrolton went to
the cars the other day TO see his daughter off.
Securing her seat, he passed out of the car
and went around to the car window to say u
parting word. While he was passing out,
the daughter left the seat to speak to a friend,
and at the same time grim old maid took
the seat and moved up to the window. I'm
aware of the important change he hurriedly
put his head up TO the window and said {:
zone more sweet kiss, pet" In another in
slant the point of a cotton umbrella was
thrust from the window, followed by the
wrathful Injunction "scat, you ray-head-

THE CANALS.

A few Ohio editors have revived the old
cry that the canals should be abandoned.
They declare that they should be done
away with altogether; that they are use
less and expensive encumbr6nce, and the
sooner they are let go the better.
This is strange time to begin this old
harangue, now that the canal commits
sion has begun to find out why it is the
canals have not been more of financial
success than they have been in the past,
and now that the prospects that these
State waterways can be made to pay for
themselves are brighter than they ever
were before.-Colu6nauS Dispatch.
People who would abandon the canals
take a narrow view of the matter. In
stead, they should be upheld by the State,
and their facilities for usefulness enlarg-
ed. The State of New York has jealousy
guarded the Erie Canal, and as a result its
tonnage is greater than that of its rail
roads, and it effectually checks the greed
of railroads in freight rates.
The canals of Ohio have been shame
fully treated by our Legislatures, but we
are glad to believe that more enlight-
ened public opinion is being formed, and
that what might be great arteries of COM
merce, free to all, will be protected from
the rapacity of railroad corporations and
the greed of rings that have fattened off
of them. Keep these great waterways
in good repair, and treat those who use
them literally in the matter of tolls, and
thus encourage our boatmen to use them
and to build more boats. Not only will
they compel the railroads to treat the
public fairly in the matter of freight
charges, but the money they earn will
remain among us, instead of being sent
out of the State and out of the country
to pay dividends on railroad shares.
