THE LITTLE WHITE HEARSE.

Somebody's baby was buried to-day
The empty white hearse from the grave rum
bled back,
And the morning, somehow seemed less smiling
and gay,
As paused on the walk while 1t crossed on us
way,
And a shadow seemed drawn DER the suns
T. golden track.
Somebody's baby was laid out to rest,
White as snow-drop and fair to behold,
And the soft little hands were crossed over the
breast,
And the hands and the lips and the eyelids
were pressed
With kisses as hot as the eyelids were cold
Somebody saw 1t go out OF her sight
Under the coffin-lid, out Of the door.
Somebody finds only darkness and blight
All thro' the glory of summer sunlight
Some one whose baby will waken no moro.
Somebody's sorrow Is making me weep.

For the dearly bought baby she longed so to
keep,
The baby that rode to its long lasting sleep
In the little white hearse that went rumbling
by. .
! know not her name, but her sorrow know.
While paused on the crossing lived ii once

And back to my heart surged that river OF woe
That but in the breast OF mother can flow
For the little white hearse has been, too. at

LEATHER GLOVES.
OF What They are Made-Technical Terms
in the Trade.

VI What They are Made-Technical Terms
in the Trade.
There are several terms in the glove
trade that may be worth explaining.
The word skid" really means kid leath-
er. 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 child's glove, and the pelt too ten
der to be of any service.
'Chevrette," 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," a 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
lamkskins 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 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 OF
sheep skin was used, and the goods were
unsatisfactory. These were displaced
by American castors made of antelope
skins from our Western plains. They are
sewed with silk and are handsome and
durable. Of late years a 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
| ance.
Colt skin is new conner for glove pur.
poses, and is an exceedingly smooth,
| fine leather, suitable for in or out door
wear. Snch expressions as Craven
Tan" ''Cis-Atlantic," Cant de Luxe
and others, are the trademarks of par
ticular makers, and are indicative OF
special designs.-Men's Outfitter.

on the neck when the throat is sore,
or on the chest when the cold is there.

ST. DISTAFF'S DAY.
A Thread 115 Miles in Length Spun FroI
One Pound of Cotton.

A Thread 115 Miles in Length Spun From
One Pound of Cotton.
The 18th of January is day in which
the elderly maidens, who are sometimes
called spinsters, should take a peculiar
interest. In old times it was known
and observed as ST. Distaff's day, be-
cause it was generally then that the
women resumed, after all Christmas
holidays, the distaff and spindle. When
the spinning-wheel was invented, along
in 1888, those ladies who used it began
to be called spinsters. This. afterward,
in legal Technology, came to be applied
70 all unmarried women, but the name
was an honored one until the employ
ment of spinning was considered too
mental for women of rank. Then it was
used cOntemptuously, and gradually it
came to signify, more particularly, sin
gle ladies of mature years. Before the
spinning-wheel was relegated to the
garnet some extraordinary feats were
accomplished, or, IS people nowadays
would say, records were made, by those
expert in it's use. In the year 1745
woman at East Dereham, in Norfolk,
spun a single pound of wool into a
thread of $4,000 yards in length, wanting
only eighty yards of forty-eight miles.
This, at the time, was considered a per-
Torrance of sufficient Importance to
merit place in the Proceedings of the
Royal Society," very high honor, in
deed. Afterward, this feat was eclipsed
by another English lady, living at Nor
witch, who spun pound of combed wool
into a thread of 1853, 900 yards: and she
actually produced from the same weight
of cotton thread of 2O3, 900 yards, equal
to about lis miles. This last thread. if
woven, would produce about twenty
yards of yard-wide muslin.-Chicago

TO REDUCE FRICTION.
Social Laws Whose Observance Is Essen
tial to Good Fellowship.

Social Laws Whose Observance Is Essen
tial to Good Fellowship.
Social laws are humanizing influences
when Obeyed understandingly. They
may seem to Cypress, at times, free
movement, but that oppression is de-
velopment, for it forces us to live in
obedience to system; and obedience to
system means order, and order is Heav-
ems first law. Obedience to social laws
not only reduces friction, but it spares
love many wounds. How many times
is love fatally wounded by the omission
of an act that is simply one of courtesy,
and which would never be omitted be-
tween strangers except through ignOr-
ance. Indeed, it would seem sometimes
that we tried to show our affection by
the omission of acts of courtesy. There
is no doubt that separations between
members of the same family would
many times have been avoided had So
cial laws been obeyed, had not liberty
been taken with the law of love-
Not long since young girl, one Of
three intimate school friends, died. One
of the three had married and moved
away from her native city. An accident
few months ago to member of her
family caused her friends to write let
tiers of sympathy which remained I'M
acknowledged. All through the sick
girls delirium she asked for the letter
from her friend which had never been
received. After her death the friend
gave every evidence of warm affection,
but II v-ac too lota tn ramova ono paup
from the loving heart that was still, and
which had been wounded 50 carelessly.
If the knowledge ever comes to her, it
will leave a memory that will never be
blotted out. 1t is just this possibility
of being separated by death that should
make US careful to observe the law of
kindly living, for that is all that social
forms imply or demand, and kindness is
the foundation of happiness.
Obedience to social laws does not
mean cold formality, any more than
obedience to moral laws means sancti-
Either or both express .

blending of heart and head that means
an emotional nature well balanced.
Frequently people do not obey social
laws in the circle bounded by friend

ence among close friends would SAVIOR Of
gush, and they uncOnsciously are rude
where they meant to give only the i'm
preston OF reserve. Reserve is a quality
to be cultivated when it is not possessed
by the individual, but reserve is neither
iciness nor slovenliness in expression Of
feeling. 1t is the nice sense Of what
should be said and when to say it. Re-
serve should be gate. not stone wall,
and it should be gate that swings
easily both ways; it should be means
Of exit as well as ingress. and i: should
be developed in harmony with nature
and the laws of life. Gush, and reserve
that means silence, are the extremes to
avoid, and a means of keeping them in
check is obedience to the social laws

There is popular prejudice against
even the most harmless snakes. and few
peol would carry the collectors rage
SO lar as to attempt the capture OF an
ugiy-looking reptile with the bare
hands. But the born naturalist. like
the born sportsman. does not mind any
slight risk when his blood is up. In
Sherman F. Denton's Incidents of a
Collectors RambleS" is the following
account of an incident belonging to his
stay in Australia:
Snakes were rather numerous. and one
day, while walking in the thick scrub, I
came across large, light brown one,
coiled upon the ground. He was by far
the largest specimen 1 had ever seen at
large, and was probably ten or twelve
feet long, and as thick as mans leg at
the knee.

the head with light charge of shot,
and carry home his skin. Then con-
sidered that, if taken alive, he would BIO

Feeling about in my pocket and game
bag. l at last found a leather strap with
buckle. drew the strap through the
buckle, making a moose, and thus armed,
started cautiously toward his snakeship,
intending to put the moose over his
head.
As soon as came near, he partly I'M

Kissing spitefully,s struck at me. l lodged
behind small tree. and, leaning out as
far as l dared, tried several times to
moose him. He was very savage, and
looked powerful enough to crush me in
his folds. At this juncture my courage
was at rather low ebb.
After l had teased him for some time,
he suddenly decided to leave my COM
pany. and started off at full speed. ]
caught up with my gun and went after
him. and, by hard running through the
scrub. managed to head him off. lie
stopped, coiled up again, and again
tried the moose. He was equal to the
occasion, putting his head under his
coils in a very sulky manner; but as
soon as reached out, and caught him
by the tail he pulled away with grea,
force and started off once more.
This time he took refuge under a
| fallen tree; and before could head him
off, he was gliding down the hole Of
some wild beast, which was partly CON
cealed by the dead branches. l reached
the spot just as the last two or three feet
were going down; and Selling his tail
with both hands, l hung On desper

Sometimes he pulled me within few
inches of the hole, and then l would
brace up on the limb, and drag him hal
way out.
At last 1 grew so tired that had *
let go my hold. and. with many regrets
l saw the last few inches of the tail dis
appear beneath the ground.

SEMI-LIQUID PEAT.
Great Destruction Caused by a Dcluse OF
the Stuff in 1853.

Great Destruction Caused by DcluSe Of
the Stuff in 1853.
The shifting of peat-bogs in Great
Britain from one place to another is not
a rare occurrence. On the 3rd of Janu.
airy, 1858, a bog of Enagh Monmore,
Ireland, nearly a mile in circumference.
and several feet deep, began a move
ment which lasted about twenty-four
hours. 1t stopped when it had made an
advance of about quarter of mile.
Pennant describes another affair of this
kind. The Solway moss in Scotland
was an expanse of semi-liquid bog, GOV.
ering 1000 acres, and lying somewhat
higher than valley of fertile land
near Netherby. So long as the moder.
ately hard crust near the edge was pre-
served the moss did not flow over. On
one occasion some peat-diggers impru.
IDENTIFY tempered with that crust. and the
moss. mOistened by heavy rains, burst
its bounds. On the night of the 18th OF
November, III. farmer who lived
near by was alarmed by an unusual
noise. He soon discovered black deluge
was slowly rolling in upon his house,
and carrying every thing before it.
He fastened to give his neighbors
warning, but be could not reach all OF
them. Many vera awakened by the
noise made by the Stygian tide, while
others knew nothing Of its approach I'M
til it had entered their bedrooms. Pen
nant says that some were surprised with
it even in their beds. These passed
horrible night, not knowing what their
fate would be until next morning, when
their neighbOrs came and rescued them
through the roofs. About three hun
dred acres of bog flowed over four hun
dred acres Of land during the night, ut
terly running the farmers, overturning
buildings, filing some of the cottages
up to the roof, and suffocating many cat
tie. The stuff flowed along like thick
black paint, studded with Jumps of more
solid peat, and it filled every nook and
crevice in its passage. 1t is said that
cow stood for sixty hours up to her neck
in mud and water, but was finally hauled
out. When she was rescued she did not
refuse to eat, but would not touch water,
it with as much terror as if
she were suffering from hydrophobia.-
