beseiged Parisians were being starved
out, but of course he intimated no such
thing in the presence of M. Theirs.
But after the conference, Bismarck IN
vited M. Theirs to dinner, and the
Frenchman only too gayly accepted the
invitation. Then it was that the willy
German noticed that M. Theirs ate vora-
ciously of the vegetables and breads,
rejected the canned and picked foods,
and partook with seeming avidity of the
fresh meat. This confirmed Bismarck's
suspicions-Paris was starving. After
M. Theirs went back into the city, there
was found in the lavatory adjoining the
apartment assigned to him at Bismarck
headquarters, part of a Paris news
paper and from certain items in this
bit of newspaper it was learned that the
condition of things in Paris was even
more desperate than had been sup
posed.
After the retirement of the Germans
from French soil, Bismarck tarried for
some time at Stuttgart, and hither came
M. Jules Ferry to conclude the terms of
permanent peace. The conference was
protracted one, and at times the dis
cussion was stormy; if not violent.
At one time Bismarck quite lost his
temper and began to express himself in
robust German.
Pardon me-" said M. Jules Ferry,
"but you are now speaking in German;
and | do not understand you"
"That is true" retorted Bismarck,
'sbut so long as I spoke French you in
sisted upon misunderstanding me, and
prefer a language you cannot I'M
derstand to one that you will misunder-
stand.'
This sally produced laugh and good
nature was speedily restored.

The Wicked Drummer.
From the New York Sun.


Every boy of us in the village knew
UP old man, and never seemed to get
any older, although always complaining.
The form of salutation was invariably
this:
''Hello! Uncle Jerry!''
= Yaas, yaas."
Chow you feeling?'
"Wretched, wretched, thank ye.''
I've heard that at least thousand
times, and never knew deviation but
once. A drummer that used to come
up occasionally from st. Louis got on to
it, and one day when dozen of us sat
on the steps of the drug store, Uncle
Jerry was seen coming up the street.
isn't that old Crawford? ?" asked the
drummer, shading his eyes with his
hand.
eyes"
"He's the man who always replies
that he's pretty we'll, praise God ?"
ooh, no. He's the man that always
replies that he's wretched, wretched,
thank ye."
II may be mistaken, but don't think
so.o
"Of course you are.
''Well, [ hate to give in. "Ill bet
$500 that when he comes up, and you
ask him how he is, he'll reply as 1
said"
There were seven of us there, and all
we could raise was $16. We handed
that out fast enough, however, and then
it had been covered, when Uncle Jerry
came along. We were on the grin as
the drummer called out:
Hello Uncle Jerry ~
"Yaas, yaas ~
pretty well, praise God!'' replied
Uncle Jerry, as he passed on.
1t was about two minutes before we
could get breath, and then the drum
mer had gone with the stakes. An
hour later | asked Uncle Jerry what he
meant by such conduct, and he replied:
Took me all day to learn it, and the
Teller gin me two big dollars"

Process of Dressing Furs.

From the Boston Herald.
In going through fur dressing estab
Gshment reporter, who was on tour
of investigation, had noticed the drag
from which the dye was dripping, as he
went up stairs, and was surprised to see
there also the same process, only the
mixture was colored with yellow froth.
This was the ''mordant," or, in every
day parlance, killing" No fur can be
changed in color without this treatment
which lasts for ten days or more, until
the hair is dead-or, in other words has
become mere fibre which will absorb
any shade.
Everybody has noticed a smooth,
soft, brownish black fur in muffs that
looks like seal If they ask when told
the rather low price, ''Is it real or imi
tation ?" they are told it is American
seal. 1t is nothing in the world but the
common little muskrat.
A fur really to be much admired is
that of this same little muskrat. The
skins arrive at the factory in bales con-
tanning many hundreds, which are stiff
and rough and inside out These are
thrown in huge bin, which revolves
about forty times per minute. Two
hammers beat them continually, and,
i,
they are taken out, rubbed with seal oil
or butter, and returned to the hopper
Often the heating turns them the other
side out. Twice is this operation gone
through. Then they go to a man who
sits astride of block, on which is fixed
long, upright knife, over this the skins
are passed, thus scraping off all the
superfluous hide, leaving them much
thinner. Now they are ready to be
cleaned A sort of dought is made of
the sawdust and put into close cylin-
der, the greasy skins are thrown in, q
charcoal fire is lighted, and the
wheel revolves. The sawdust absorbs
the grease and moisture, but of course
remains in the hair To get it out a
wheel similar to this, but with latticed
ends, is employed; the revolutions are
much more rapid and the sawdust flies
out through the lattice. leaving the
clean, soft fur, for such it has become,
inside. If not sufficiently cleaned this
process is repeated.
"evener." This man has big round
log in front of him, over which he
throws the pelt, fastening it with a rope
drawn taunt by his foot. On bis right
thumb is thick rubber tube about six
inches long, and the hand draws back
and forth a sharp steel comb. The
"mordant" is now gone through and the
pelt is taken down to the dyeing rooms.
Here it is dipped constantly until it is a
deep rich dark throughout, and finally
passed through ringer, from which it
is thrown out almost dry.
The skin is now ready for the final
touch or shade. The black fur must
have that brown shade SO much desired
in sealskins. A man stands at the table
with a pile in front of him. A rather
stiff brush he dips into a yellow bowl
filled with the color; he lays the pelt
fur side up on the table and runs the
dye over itseveral times. Not one drop
must touch the leather, for it would rot
the skin. The fur has now the desired
shading and possesses the true seal
color. A visit to the dyeing room,
through an inspectors hands, and it is
ready for the market.

Fer Q Creamery.

Something has been said about u
creamery but the writer has been
oyer the country since and sees that
creamery is not likely to be the
hest industry to start, but it may be
worked up in the way of dairy
creameries and 1t would be well for
farmers interested to organize a
"dairy creamery association" Small
dairy creameries can be built with
out much expense on the dairy
farms, and be made a system by
which the farmers can make as fine
q grade of butter as any creamery
and also market for the butter can
be worked up in such way that i,
will make 1t paying industry,
without doubt, If properly started
and handled, and if farmers about
