Early Methods Of Curing Skins,

The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of cleaning
and drying them. Removal of the hair
by maceration in water seems to have
been common among the very early
tribes, and one writer has suggested
that the idea was obtained from the
natural process of depilation They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case of drowned animals, where
maceratiOn can be plainly observed.
Following this, smoke, sour milk, oil.
and the brains of the animals themselves
were found efficacious. Many of these
primitive methods are employed at the
present time, thus bringing into novel
conjunction the days of the rowing Mas.

Condolences Out of Place.

Don't condole with friend or con-
graduate friend until five years have
tested the reality of his grief or joy"
says somebody. But my certie! It's a
good idea, after five years or consider
ably less, to find out how apropos your
remarks are going to be before you offer
'em. Instance in point: met Vachant,
of New York, in the street the other
day. I've been meaning to write to
Vachant-college friend of mine, you
know-cver since his wife died, two
years ago; brutal of me not to have done
it, for she was a sweet little soul, and /
could guess what her loss must have
been. Well, rushed up to him, and
pressed his hand, and stumbled out a
plea for forgiveness for not having sooner
expressed my very real sympathy for his
wife's loss and all it must have meant
to him.

Rnnth,s Rest Character.

II was in a high priced restaurant.
They were discussing the characters in
which Booth had been most successful,
and the young man with blond mus
tache was satisfied that Hamlet was by
far his best part.
"If you ever saw him in that part
when he was at his best" he said, you
wouldn't dispute the assertion for mo-
ment."
Saw him!" exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scorufully. I've seen
him in about everything he ever played.
WHY, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his other characters. His
Othello was better than his Hamlet, and
his Macbeth
Macbeth broke in the young man
with the blond mustache. Why, that
wasn't up to Romeo, and that's saying a
good deal. His Shylock was better than
his Othello."
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but just as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathing
retort with some side remarks about the
Fools Revenge" the little fellow with
the single eyeglass reused himself and
said:
81 say! You're both wrong, you know.
I'm not much on drama, but Booth never
played anything as well as he did Shake
speare."-Detroit Free Press.

Duel of Two Girls.

At Charkoff, Russia, two girls who
were friends fell in love with the same
young man. He was slow to make his
selection between them. They agreed
that either could win him if delivered of
the baneful competition of the other.
They decided upon a duel by drawing
lots. On the day following one of the
young ladies was found dead in her
room. She had poisoned herself with
phosphorus. But her friend is broken
down with sorrow and remorse. 1t is
more than likely that she will not live
to enjoy the fruits of her victory.-Paris

The particular assertion is probably
true enough. Its veraoity we have no
reason and no desire to question. But
the fact remains that We know either
too much or too little. Two hundred
s.cigarcttists" dead within a year? Very
good, or very bad. 1t all depends Oh
tho point Of view. But there are some
scores Of questions we should like to
have answered in this connection. How
many amateur performers ON the cornet
have gone to their last account within
the same time? The conundrum is per-
fectly legitimate and analogous. Inc
| victims Of the bill smoked cigarettes and
died. The victims of the cornet played
that instrument and died. How many
listeners, willing or unwilling, to the
cornet tienda have passed away? How
many men with red hair have joined the
great majority in the last year? How
many that wear a monocle, their halr
parted i'll the middle, and number SIX

min Harrison? How many f%requenters
of the Broadwater plunge? How many
pillars OF the Y. M. G, A.? How many
women that nre chaperoned by a pug
dog with a string attachment? How
many maidens who paint china?
How many-but that's enough. Surely
it is perfectly plain that any statement,
such us the II we have quoted from
the bills preamble, is almost utterly
valueless, when deprived of the posi-
bility Of comparison. 1t is simply, an
isolated assertion, good for it's face value
and nothing more. Certainly it is pos
sible to real a whole giddy mountain Of
differences upon the foundation of one
lonely, little fact, but architectural i'm
agination Of this kind does not lend sta
bility and substance to the creation. 1t
may be incidentally true that the two
hundred predetermined ones, whose
dirge has been sung, We're smokers Of
cigarettes. A woman went to church
and died Immediately afterwards.
Which was cause and which was result?
Was either which or was which either?
Did these other poor creatures become
insane because they smoked cigarettes,
or did they smoke cigarettes because
they were insane to begin with? The
promoters Of the bill are perfectly con
WINGED Of the former. There are plenty
of their fellow-citizens ready to declare
their answering belief il the latter
theory. But, even If we admit that
there are cigarette smokers who have
died or gone crazy, we are still face to
face with the appalling fact that the
majority of the living "cigarettists' are
still apparently sane, and, more wonder
full still, that the vast majority of the
people who die every year have never
had a cigarette within their lips.

So far as our present knowledge goes,
motives, other than those of a laudable
nature, actuated the %originators of a bill
recently introduced by request IN the
house Of representatives and designed
to tax the cigarette out of existence.
Laudable motives, of course, we mean
from the promoters point Of view. At
first sight, we may as we'll confess, it
looks otherwise, but appearances are
p~royerbially deceptive. To the casual
observer, a first glance at the bill might
suggest the idea that it was a deep and
deadly conspiracy to grind cigarette
manufacturers from the face OF the
American earth.s The dude might pro,
test that this latest attempt al paternal,
ism in government was destined to goad
him to some other visible and outward
sign OF his special intirmity. The bill il
hard upon the dude. There is no doubt
OF it. Men are allowed to indulge in al
manner of outward symbols 0
their sympath.es and antipathies
and no one has a word of oppo
sltion to advance. They wear cam
paign buttons, they don brilliant uni
forms, and patriotism or some othel
name throws its mantle over all, Th,
dude has only his cigarette. Tt is tn

the allegiance he has sworn to menta
vacuity and Incidence. Must he and
be sacrificed to the whims Of boarding

Dramatic club on Thursday, March II, will
be handsomely staged, and the club has
spared neither expense or labor to make
this entertainment surpass anything they
have previously attempted. The play is a
very pleasing one, with plenty of sentiment
to hold the attention and a happy vein of
comedy running through it which illustrates
the irresistible good nature Of the Irish
peasantry. The cast of characters is larger
than in any of the plays yet pnt on by the
club and includes a number Of new faces.
The scenes are laid on the picturesque coast
of L Gland, and the cliffs of the Lisken

are extremely realistic. Secure your tickets

POPE LEO SPEAKS.

"Archblshop Ireland and His Calum-
majors There stands the caption Of
q recent article published in the Moni
teur di Roma, the official. organ Ct the
vatican. A more noteworthy document
than this, it is safe to say, cannot be
found il the archives Of the pontiticate,
pregnant as they are with expressions
Of opinion that have shaped thu course
OF the worlds history both temporal and
spiritual. For Americans especially, it's
interest is supreme. Not only is the
article, as it's title %infers, a stalwart and
whole-hearted defense of the broad
minded ecclesiastic from st. Paul, but it
is a free expression Of the papal policy
towards the republic Of the United
States. The archbishop entered Rome,
preceded and attended by a very cloud
Of accusing letters, anonymous and
otherwise. He was a dangerous man, a
man to whom the vital interests of the
church in the great and growing north
west could not safely be entrusted. His
liberal views on the subJecto of education

denotes he did not even attempt to con-
ceal, and his admiration for the free and
enlightened institutions of this country
we're matters Of ommon report. His
opponents have their answer, and an
answer inspired by Leo himself.
The Moniteur and the vatican roundly
assert their adoption Of the archbishop's
views. "Ihe ideal of this distinguished
mar has been to extend the influence Of
the church by taking advantage Of the
condition Of the times, to follow Catholic
traditions without fearing changes il
form and situations, and to adapt the
undying vitality Of the Catholic faith tc
newly developed needs, to place religion
above political parties, to unite instead
of dividing, and to Undue the young
American republic with Christian
thought, as Pope Leo sought to Undue
the republic of France. Archbishop
Ireland belongs with his whole soul te
the school of Pope Leo"
A striking declaration, indeed. If the
Catholic church has become, in matters
political and educational, a very at.
tenuated shadow of its former self, the
result is directly due to a continued
policy, the very antipodes Of that enun-
ciated in the archbishop's defense. The
men who had dreamed to find in the
present occupant of the papal chair the
shadow of medieval .popes and in hi
words the ghostly echo Of by-gone pre-
JUDGES and retrogresions have fount
out their mistake. Enlightenment ant
broad Judgment, a spirit Of progress ane
intellectually are stamped upon ever,
word of the papal pronouncement. Pop,
and archbishop are worthy to work TO
gether in offering to progress a gloriou
olive branch.
