LEATHER GLOVES.
OF What They are Mads--Technical Terms
a.. - ,inthe Trade. .-.- g~

=
There are several terms in the glove
trade that may be worth explaining.
The word ''kid" really means kid leath.
or, and there can be little doubt that the
better grades OF what purport to be such
are made of the cuticle of the infant
goat. About twice year some newspa-
per revives the old yarn that kid gloves
are made of rat-skin and tells how the
rats are hunted for that purpose in the
sewers Of Paris. The only foundation
there Is for the story is that some years
ago experiments were tried with rat
skins. The results were unfavorable,
the largest skins being too small for any
but a child's glove, and the pelt too ten
der to be of any service.
"Chevrette," q term used to distin-
guish some gloves Of dressy character
for street wear, is both French and Eng
lish, and has several liberal meanings.
1t is from 'chevre," goat, and we are
justified in expecting chevrette glove
to be of young goat-skin, in distinction
from the heavy goat gloves used for
rough work. Great progress has been
made, however. in tanning sheep and
lamb-skins in recent years, and they are
now rendered SO elegant and so durable
as to be practically indistinguishable
from goat leather in looks or wear.
Until within a few years "dogskin
gloves" were always made of lamb OF
goat skin, never of the real canine cuti-
Gle. Lately, however, the difficulties OF
dressing have been overcome, and now
excellent gloves are made of real dog
skin, though the quantity is not very
large. Only the finer grades OF skin are
suited to street wear, the heavier
skins being dressed in oil for hard
usage.
Gloves called "castor" have had quite
a history. The word indicates the skin
of the beaver, but the best French cas-.
tor gloves were formerly made of thin
deer skin, and were soft, durable and
expensive. Latterly shaved lamb or
sheep skin was used, and the goods were
unsatisfactory. These were displaced
by American casters made of antelope
skins from our Western plains. They are
sewed with silk and are handsome and
durable. OF late years new leather
has been brought out called Mocha cas-
tor. 1t is the skin of the Egyptian
sheep, and is very thin, tough and
durable, and has rich, velvety appear.

"KEEPING TABn ON THE PIGS.

To keep a history or private record of
each litter of pigs and of every pig in
the litter is not the difficult task it may
at first thought seem to be. A good
way is to devote to each litter page in
the small pass-book mentioned in a
former article.
For convenience afterward, in num-
bering and remembering the ages of the
pigs, it is we'll to book the filters each
year in the order in which they come;
numbering the filters consecutively. A
few weeks later, when the pigs must be
marked, to each of them should be given
the ear-mark or number of its litter;
that is, all the pigs of any one litter
should have the same m ark or number.
Head the page selected for the first
litter with the name of the SOW. On
the next line write the date of farrow,
the word by, and following it, on the
same line, the name of the sire. Head
the left hand, or date column, with
what are understood to be pair of ears,
on which the ear marks are to be noted.
The balance of the page below is for use
In desert bling or making notes regarding
the pigs. AS soon as they are old enough
to show what they are likely to make.
and to have that individuality about
them so we'll understood by any one who
has any love or taste for watching the
development of young growing animals,
it is time to note down the number there
are of each sex.
Then continue down the column plac-
ing S two times for sows. This will
give two lines to each pig for brief de-
scriptions or notes. If there is any fear
that the headings on the page may not
be understood, they may be made
palmer by using more words, and may
read thus: Hood. Sallie. narrowed on
the 7th of May, 1883; pigs sired by Bob

There is an old saying about place
for every thing and every thing in its
place. This applies as we'll in the

had been permanent way inspector of
certain division, ten miles in length,
that lay about midway on the line, the
totakextent of which was seventy miles.
This division began on the verge of the
vast Madapur forest, and lay completely
in the midst of dense, tangled Jungle,
which was inhabited by but few people,
and on the other hand was infested with
bears, tigers, panthers and hog-deer.
never was much of sportsman, and
perhaps this explains how fell into the
careless habit of going on my inspec-
tions unarmed. I made the round trip
three times week on trolly, which is
merely high seat on wheels, and is
pushed along the track by the trolly
men, who are usually fieet-footed ath-
letic natives.
1t was very comfortable mode of
travelling if little slow; for the seat is
provided with soft back-rest, and one
can stretch out at ease with a sun UNI
brella and good cigar.
Occasionally saw deer run across the
track, and once panther gave brief
glimpse of himself as he dove into the
Jungle. Tigers I knew there were, of
course, for frequently saw their tracks
in the soft ditch that ran alongside the
railway cutting.
The rainy season which begins in the
latter part of February always gave me
extra work, and 1 was compelled to
make daily trips on the division; the
young trees were apt to loosen at the
root and topple over on the track, and
sometimes the earthen banks would sink
into the treacherous soil of the Jungle.
One damp, sultry morning l had just
started from the station and my troll Y
men, Pershad and Jung, were bowling
me along at a gentle rate of speed,
when Colonel Danvers, commandant of
the cantonment at Mymensing, stepped
on the track just ahead of me, with his
gun on his shoulder and couple of ma
tive heaters at his heels.
"My dear fellow" said the Colonel, as
soon as the first greeting was over,
''you surely don't make your inspection
trips unarmed?"
Pulling small revolver from my
pocket I replied, laughingly: "That's
all carry, Colonel, and l have never
had use for that even"
The Colonel uttered long, expressive
whistle.

vanished into the forest and l con-
tinued on my way.
1t had rained heavily the night be-
fore, and for while frequent stops
were made to clear away the limbs
which the storm had blown onto the
track at some points in great profusion.
This occupied considerable time, and it
was toward noon when we approached
the center of the division. The
Colonel's words had somehow left an
imp1 ession on my mind which tried in
vain to shake of, though what there
was to fear hardly knew myself. 4
always carried the pistol with me, not
from fear of wild beasts, but because
the few Hindus who inhabited parts of
the forest were not above suspicion.
We had just struck the commencement
of rather heavy grade, which circled

and then swept on in straight line for
q distance of mile and half.
We were going pretty rapidly, and I
could hear the quick, heavy breathing
of the Hindus behind me as the trolly
tnrned the curve.

NEW LIFE-SAvlNG BELT.
The Invention for Saving Life at 81
Passed by the Ferlin Patent Office.

The Invention for Saving Life at Sea-
Passed by the Ferlin Patent Office.
In nautical circles newly-patented
life-saving belt is attracting much at
tention. This new apparatus, which
has just passed muster at the Berlin
patent bureau, is a hollow girdle, air
and water proof, which is intended pri-
marily for the use of ships crews.
1t claps around the body at the waist
line. and in its empty condition is easily
carried. To this girdle is attached a
little iron flask, which contains car
bonic acid or carburetted hydrogen gas,
the former mixed with from 10 to 20 per
per cent. of pure alcohol, in order to
prevent the chilling of the gases when
quitting the flask. The hollow space in
the belt has capacity of 100 liters, or a
little less than 100 English. quarts; 200
grains Of fluid carbonic acid gas and 20
grains of alcohol are required to fill it.
When the belt is to be used con-
veniently placed valve is opened and
fills at once with the light gases. An
automatic feather valve, placed at one
side, prevents more than the proper

ing to scientific principles, 100 iters of
gas will displace the same amount Of
water; that is to say, will support in the
water weight corresponding to 100
liters, or, in other words, 100 Kilograms.
1t is quite clear. therefore, that any
human being equipped with this girdle
has every prospect Of success in con.
test with the waves. On the high seas,
of course, it is necessary, in addition to
this girdle, to have = hermetically
