WHY SHOULDN'T He BLowp
The Porpoise, Whose Skin is Valuable
for Some Important Uses.
A..n.. IL. ".

Tor some Important Uses.
Fron the NelU York sun.
Leather dealers down in the swamp say
that if the people who catch porpoises off
the coast of Hatteras could put the raw
skins on the market at cheaper rates the
world would have better shoes. AS the case
now stands, porpoise leather fetches nearly
twice as much as any other leather in use
for shoemakinK, It's wholesale price is
from 81 to 81 so more than that Of French
calf. 1t is higher than cordovan, the trade
name for horse leather, and much costlier
than kangaroo leather or alligator skin.
Porpoise hide has been on the leather market
for good many years, and long before it
began to figure in the swamp it
was made up into various ar
ticles OF wear by fishermen on
the coast. Porpoise hide boots were in high
repute on the Maryland coast 100 years ago.
The Dorpoise is caught in considerable num-
bers all along the coast from New York to
Florida, and is sometimes seen III the upper
part of this harbor. Old fishermen have a
semi-comio attitude toward the porpoise and
have curious superstitlons touching its ap-
pearance on the coast. Small schools Of
porpoises are seen from the coast below New
York bay moving north or south, q few
miles at sea, and leaping one after another
into the air. The fishermen who catch them
follow up schools of small fish upon which
the porpoise feed.
A full-grown porpoise yields skin from
3 to 81 feet long, and from 20 to 80 inches
wide. The process of curing and tanning
has been expedited within a few years so
that the skins are much more promptly
brought to market than they once were.
Wholesalers sell the skins either in ''sides,"
two to a hide, or cut into vamps for Shoes
All fishermen believe that the porpoise skin
is waterproof, and the belief has gradually
erept into the popular mind, though it is a
matter of doubt whether the skin will long
resist water. It does. however, make the
best possible hunting boots since it is very
plant, is perhaps the strongest leather
made, and is not easily penetrated by moist
ure under ordinary conditions.
Thus far the demand for porpoise leather
has come from the custom shoemakers. 1t
has never made it's way to the shoe factories
as kangaroo leather has, aud people down
in the swamp say that porpoise leather can
never be in great demand until 1T shall have
reached the factories. On the other hand
the fact that the skins are small and the
| cost of catching the porpoises is consider
able makes il difficult for the manufacturer
of shoes to introduce it. Many custom
shoemakers use it for expensive shoes, and
it is to some extent in use for machinery
betting when the belts are not very large. 1t
is also used in some parts Of the photograph.
The Dorpoise shoe laceS are made from the
scraps OF the leather, and it is especially
adapted TO such uses because of its extreme
touRhness and elasticity.

Apples.
From the Medical Aqe.


Chemically. the. apple IS composed of veg
otable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, chloro-
phyl, malic acid, GALLO acid, lime and much
water. Furthermore, the German analysts
say that the apple contains a larger per-
centage of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential nervous
matter, ecithin, of the brain and spinal
cord. 1t is perhaps for the same reason
rudely understood that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the food Of
the gods, who, when they felt themselves to
be growing feeble and intirm, resorted to
this fruit for removing their powers Of
mind and body Also, the acids of the
apple are Of signal use for men Of sedentary
habits whose Iivers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters which, II retained,
would make tho brain heavy and dull or
bring about iaundice ca skin eruptions and
other allied troubles. S ONE such an expert
ence must have led TO oar custom OF taking
apple juice with roast pc rk, rich goose and
like dishes. The malic cid OF ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize any
excess Of chaiky matter "a lgendered by eat
ing too much meat. 1t is also the fact that
such fresh fruits as the ap ole, the pear and
the plum, when taken ripe aud without
sugar, diminish scidity in the stomach
rather than provoke it. Their vegetable
sauces and juices are CONVEX ted into alkaline
carbonates, which tends 70 counterfeit
acidity.

The Richmond and Danville bill of in
junction against the Georgia commission,
filed February, 1892, has been denied by
Judge Newman, and the decision has been
concurred in by Judge Don A. Pardee.
The Richmond and Danville based its
bill upon several different counts First,
that the rule Of the commission in reference
TO the joint rates was unreasonable and IN
just; that the terms Of the act of the legis-
lature Of 1879 do not give the road chance
to show the rates are unjust aud unreason-
able-the provision OF the act being that
the schedule Of the rates as established by
the commission shall be considered sufficient
evidence that the rates fixed are reasonable
and just. The Richmond and Danville
violated the laws of the commission and
Immediately took steps to prevent their
being sued. The penalties for violations Of
the rate laws is a fine of not less than 81 900
or not more than $1,000. Judge Newman's
decision was that it was not necessary for
the state courts, in suits that may be in
stljuted for penalties. TO hold the rate fixed
by the commission as conclusive evidence
on the trial and therefore cannot grant the
injunction as prayed for
