The Leather of the Egyptians.

The ancient Egyptians were skilled in
the art Of tanning leather, and manuisc-
tured it in various ways and for various
purposes. besides that of furnishing COW
ering for the feet. Indeed, it is to these
builders of the pyramids that We are in
debted for the first artistic forms of foot
wear, and SO far as can be sseertained
from history and the researches Of arch
biologists, the Egyptians were the first
shoemakers who were worthy Of the
name.
1t is a fact, too, that tanners Of today
employ very much the same methods as
did the ancients. About the same mate
rials are used, and the same processes are
almost precisely similar to those in use
hundreds of years ago. 1t is true thai
tanners Of the present day have found
means Of greatly shortening the time re-
quired 10 convert hide into leather, and
that steam power and modern machin-
cry have done much to expedite and to
improve the processes of finishing the
leather but, after all, the principles Of
tanning remain the same as they have
been from the first.-N ]. AdgeTtissr.

CarIise on Silver.

Senator Carlisle has given voice to a
strong and impsssioned argument against
any action on the silver coinage question
in Congress, although he is perfectly
aware that the free silver members OF
his party are ia absolute control Of the
House, have the Coinage Committee
packed with free silver coinage advocates
and propose to make that party issue
in 1892 Of equal or paramount promi-
nence with the tariff The Senator is
CRYING in the wilderness. His argument
that his party is divided on the silver
coinage issue is in part true, and his AS
seriion that no States can be gained 10
Democracy by taking free silver coin
age position, is truer. He is also sound
when he pronounces the present law ss
infinitely superior 10 free coinage OF
American silver, which would not en-
hance the price of that metal, but would
take away from the government and give
TO the silver producers the difference be-
tween the market price of bullion and
the coinage rate. But the great majority
of Democrats in and out OF Congress are
set on trying to carry the country on the
free silver coinage issue, and Senator
Carlisle might as well try to talk down 3
cyclone as to attempt to change their pur-
pose. ". l. Press.

The WhIstIIng Girl.

Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's
The whistling girl does not commonly
come TO q bad end. Quite as often as any
other girl she learns to whistle a cradle
song low and sweet and charming, to the
young voter IN the cradle She Is girl
Of spirit, Of Independence Of character, Of
dash and flavor; and as to lips, why, you
must have some sort Of presentable lips

whistling girl does not come TO bad end
a. all IF marriage IS still considered a
good occupation, except cloud may be
thrown upon her ex1beFant young life
by this rsscally proverb. Even if she
walks the lone road of life, she has this
advantage. that she can whistle to keep
her courage up But in a larger ssnse,
one that this practical age can under
stand, it Is not true that the whistliDg
girl comes TO a bad end. Whistltng pays.

been more famous. She has set aside the
adage. She has done so much toward
the emancipation Of her sex from the
prejudice created by an ill-natured prov
erb which never had root in fact.
But has the whistling woman come to
stay? Is it well for women to whistle?
Are the majority of women likely to be
whistlers? These are serious questions,
not to be taken up in light manner at
the erd Of grave paper. VIII woman
ever learn to throwa stone? There it is.
The future is inscrutable. We only
know that whereas they lid not whistle
with approval, now they do; the preju-
dice Of generations gradually meltsaway.
and woman's destiny is not linked with
that OF the hen, nor to be controlled by
a proverb-perhaPs not by anything.

Applylime to the land just now, as
it is only slowly carried down by the
rains, and it should be dissolved as
much as possible before spring. The
air-slaked lime should be applied when
in fine condition, and the sooner the
better, as the longer the lime is retain
ed before application the greater the
proportion which unites with the car
bonic acid of the air and forms car
Donate of lime, in which condition it is
insoluble. When freshly slaked the
lime is a hydrate, and is then soluble.
The tendency of lime in the soil is to
go downward hence it is only neces-
