We Don't Have 'Pump Milk'' Here.

Under the caption of "Innocence at Home"
the Coast Seamens Journal of San Francisco
publishes the item about the curdling of
milk in an oyster stew, and makes the fol-
lowing comments:

little fear of her oyster stew curdling, even

A New Kind Of Leather.

James w. Deckert, Newarker, has
discovered a new kink of fancy leather.
1t is obtained by tanning the stomachs
of animals, the same material from which
tripe is prepared. Tripe is not tripe un-
til it is prepared for food. What it
should be called when considered as
material for leather is still an open ques-
ton. 1t makes handsome leather for
pocketbooks, bags, and fancy articles,
and can be dyed in any color. Only the
inner membrane is used The heavy in
tegument is split off, leaving a modera-
tely thin and coarse-t tibred leather as
soft as chamois.
There is great variety of grain and
pattern in the same piece of the leather,
and much of it is too plain to admit of
using il in large articles with the best
effect, but excellent results can be
obtained by matching opposite spots of
the skin, it can be called. The part
known as the "honeycomb" makes
particularly rich appearance when dyed
and polished. 1t is much more effective
than alligator or lizard skin, and much
softer and more easily worked into irreg-
ular forms. Another part has the
appearance of being covered with jet
beads when dyed black and polished.
Any part of the material will keep
people guessing what it is made from,
and that is part of the pleasure of own
ing any novelty. The inventor or dis
coverer of this new leather says that he
can get from twelve to fifteen feet from
an animal II New York Sun.

How They Do in Florence.

A narrowing tale comes across the sea
anent young American giIl who was
studying music in Florence
She had few friends in the city, and
lived by herself She became i'll, and
apparently from a desire not to worry
any one else, she struggled against her
increasing weakness, and let no one know
of her condition.
She had been helpless and in consider
able need of careful nursing for some
days, when one evening after night had
fallen, four black robed figures, with
hidden faces and only holes cut through
the sombre cloth for their eyes, appeared
in her room. Almost fainting from ter
ror, she made a frantic appeal for mercy,
but it only met with q low murmured re-
sponse, which did not reassure her.
Finally the stretcher which they brought
was placed at her bedside, she was
slipped on 10 it, n cloth was thrown over
her and she felt herself borne through
the streets.
But not to terrible dungeon, as her
fevered imagination supposed. When
she regained consciousness it was to find
herself in a hospital ward, where she re-
ceived devoted care aud attention. Later
on she learned that her case had come
under the notice of the famous Order of
the Misericorde, and its efficient, though
mystnriously alarming, ministration was
the result.
All ranks and conditions of Florentine
society hold membership in this order;
and the shrouding robes are worn so that
service without ostentation may be rem
dered. Ii has exiDted for hundreds of
years.-[New YoJk World.

Recluses in Australia's Mines.

In parts of Australia one comes across
characteristic class in the shape of old
miners who haunt the deserted diggins,
or the banks of gruvelly- y-bottomed
streams which hold some traces of the
shining treasure in their beds-relics of
the old days of the mining craze, ancient
hulks stranded where the rehux of the
great wave OF excitement and specula
tion has left them. One comes across
their huts now and then in the thick scrub
along the water course, and finds in each
bronzed and bearded hermit who greets
the visitor with quiet "Good- day,
FRIEND as he looks at him with lustre-
less eyes. The old fire of expectation
and hope has gone out of these orbs;
they show nothing but the settled and
patient acceptance of disappointed
hopes, which in the case of many weaker
men, has caused madness or self-distruc-
! ton.
The history of many of these recluses
would furnish material for absorbing
romances; of wild, ungovernable youth
when home and friends were left on the
other side of the world in the eager on
set upon fortune in the Australian gold
diggings; of manhood spent in dark
shafts or under the blazing sun in rocky
gullies amid the hopes and disappoint-
ments of an army of men who thirsted
and gumbled for gold; of an old age
which had nothing but memories to live
upon, when life was supported by the
few grains of gold which daily labor
csuld still extract from the banks of the
improvised stream. The men who have
experienced these vicissitudes are not, as
a rule, drawn into companionship there
by; they prefer to live alone, nor from
weeks end to weeks end do they see or
desire the presence of any other human
being. Lost in the remote wilds of the
bush, they have acquired something of
the shyness and love cf solitude which
characterizes the furred and feathered
creatures about them-as silent as the
songless birds, living lives us destitute
of fragrance as the scentless flowers.

DANGERS ON THE OCEAN.
Numbers of Abandoned Vessels Drift
ing Along the Highways.

The abandoning of the Abby sinia adds
one more to the long list of vessels
knocking about the ocean at the mercy
of winds, waves and currents. When she
was loft there seemed but little doubt
that she would sink beneath the waves
and cease to become danger to naviga-
ton, but she had not gone down at the
time the rescuing steamer parted from
her, and so she must be looked out for
by all vessels passing near the locality.
One recommendation of the In terna-
tional Maritime Conference was that the
various nations having commerce on the
high seas should patrol the ocean within
certain fixed limits and endeavor to free
the routes from distractions of every
kind. This would include towing steam
ers into port that had lost their propel-
lers, sailing ships that were dismasted,
vessels that were so much disabled by
collision as to need assistance, and, in
fact, to relieve the needy of every de-
scription and to rid the highways of all
dangers. Unfortunately the measure
failed to become a law, but the necessi-
ties of the case have by no means ceased
to exist.
The regular monthly Pilot Chart as is
sued by the photographic ca;"o con
. : d., o.uullio.' - :. vast amount of
valuable data, tracks which show graphi-
cally the course taken by the derelicts,
SO that masters of vessels leaving port
may redouble their vigilance upon ap-
proaching the dangerous section in which
the wanderer was last seen or to which it
may have drifted since the report was
made. Many of these vessels have been
drifting here and there for months and
scarcely day passes that some one of
them is not reported by incoming ves-
els.
Some of these are bottom side up, and
when first sighted look like the body of
huge whale; or if the sea is breaking
over them the white foam of the broken
water catches the eye, ami Breakers
ahead!" is what the lookout reports.
Others have shifted their cargoes and are
listed away over on one side or the other
so far that it seems u perfect wonder
that they have not "turned turtle long
ago. Now and then one is sighted with
her bow high up out of the water, while
her stern is out of sight, while tho next
one seen is tilted in the opposite direc-
tion, as though she were all ready to take
header.
The majority of accidents occur to yes
sells when in the vicinity of Cape HATTIE
ras; and when abandoned, these vessels
are genarally carried along by the Gulf
Stream, thus drifting into the ocean
highway and towards the coast of Great
Britain, until they either strike those far
off shores or become so water-soaked
that they sink. Occasionally they drift
to the eastward and got out of the Gulf
Stream, owing to strong westerly winds.

SHE RUNS A RANCH.

THE PRETTY WOMAN.

A pretty woman must first of all have
clearly cut, regular features. She must
have full, clear eyes. She must have Il
skin that is above repproach, untouched
by rouge and powder. The most have
glossy hair that has never known the
touch or dye. She must have white,
expressive hand, preferably small ono,
but not of necessity, if it is well kept
and white. She mist know how to put
on her clothes, or she loses half her
beauty. She must fully understand
what best suits her in the way of hair
dressing, and cling close to that. A
woman may have these attractions, and
unless her own personality is charming,
unless she has tact, it dawns on you,
after you have seen her once or twice,
that she is not n pretty woman. The
most fascinating woman to men usually
have less than half these regulation
