Walrus skins are sometimes treat
ed by the San Francisco tanners.
The hides are or immense size, weigh
ing as much as 700 pounds and meas
uring eight feet by fourteen. The
first experience with these skins was
made about twelve years ago, but at
first there was no market for them
when tanned. Local silversmiths,
however, found them an excellent
substitute for the old-style emery
wheel and began. to use them to pol.
ish silverware and to surface" pre-
cious stones. The price OF the skin
advanced until 1t reached S5 a pound.
Whalers were commissioned to Sc
cure the green hides, and with COM
petition the price fell TO SO pound.
The process of tanning is the same
as that used for ordinary leather, save
that the walrus hides are laid away
for six months out OF the twelve, and
it takes five years to complete the
process of curing. The average run
of the hides in thickness is from
three to four inches when green.
When tanned they run from two to
three inches in thickness.

Hebrews Close Calculator.

The Hebrew intellect is displayed
to great advantage not only in
finance but in chess. Mr.. Black
burne, the representative English
player, was recently defeated by
Herr Lasker, Hebrew, and it is
said that large proportion, perhaps
one-half, of the recognized masters"
of chess in Europe are of Hebrew ex-
traction. Both in London and on
the continent Jewish players of talent
are to be found in great numbers.
In the contest for trophy lately
offered by a London newspaper, OF the
four most successful players three
were Jews. The power OF close and
accurate calculation, which is char
acteristic of the race, makes them
skillful in the game of chess.

JUST at the time that the reap

story that thousands of bales of rags,

for the propagation OF cholera is
known than the bale Of rags, which
cannot be disinfected so that the dis

The story goes that many of the rags
come from Hamburg. If this be true

merchandise this way should be held

cane was nothing more or less than
the long-sweeping brush handle, and
his cloak of past fashion; and a

A small boy is placed on the shoulders

THE best way to ventilate house
is by means of open fires. However,
open firessare not sufficiently warm
in winter, and there are few houses
that are provided with the ideal heat
ing arrangement Of modified steam
heat with CRATES. Lacking this, and,
indeed, under any circumstances, a
sleeping room or sitting room should
be, so to put 1t, washed out with pure
air every day. Whatever the tenn
perature outside, every window should
be opened and the outer air allowed
to pour through it from ten to twenty
minutes each day. AS rule rooms
are kept too warm. No room should
be kept heated beyond a temperature
of 6S degrees. The system of per-
son living in superheated atmos-
phere becomes so vitiated that he
shivers at the slightest change and
takes cold on the least provocation.

Patient Walters.

The italian singers, Sofia and
Gi,ilia Havogli, who became quite
suddenly the delight of London mu-
sical circles, are very modest and pa
tient women. They can bear to
defer enjoyment even of the praise
which is theirs by right. Mademoi-
selle Giulia was one day talking with
friend, who happened to make some
remark about the enthusiastic no.
tices the two singers had received
from all the London papers.
"Yes, everyone tells me So" replied
she in her pretty, broken English,
"and we get such lot OF funny little
rolls of de brown paper sent to us
many time in dc day, and we puts
dem all in dis big drawer, to save up
when we go homo"
Here she pulled out the drawer,
and displayed quantity of newspa-
pers, not one of which had been
opened.
But don't you look at them?"
asked the visitor.
"Oh, no, not yet we look; but see
here! dis is book which shall con-
tain dem some day."
Thereupon she displayed, with
great pride, perfectly new and
empty scrap-book, which, she con-
fessed, had attracted her by its red
and blue index letters. In that
"somc day" would see her fame en-
rolled, but she was content to wait
for leisure to accomplish the pleasing
task.

Great is she, too, in her scenery, in

IT is we'll known that the tails OF

hypothesis have been ,propounde1 to
explain their movement away from

that OF Russian physicist, who as
cribes it to the repulsion Of the solar
radiation acting on a mass OF extreme
tenuity, while, on the other hand,
the attraction OF gravitation operates
between the solar mass and the solid

IT is characteristic OF American
methods that the recent violent Choir
era scare has been followed by period
of Indifference and apathy on the sub
ject. Scarcely two months ago most
OF the cities and towns in the North
were quarantining against New York
and one another. Boards OF Health
were in state of ferment, and mu-
nicipal authorities were inaugurating
all sorts Of hygienic reforms. Now,
nothing whatever is being done. The
subsidcnce of cholera in New York
harbor, due to cool weather, has been
followed by complete suspension of
all efforts to avert the disease or to
fight it when it comes. This is
worse than the folly of locking the
stable-door after the horse is stolen;
it is leaving the door open and ex-
pecting the thief not to enter. Mean
while cases of cholera have appeared
in France, Holland, and Austria, and
that the disease is increasing at st.
Petersburg. There is hardly doubt
that it will maintain foothold In
Europe during the winter and break
out again next spring. 1t is but a
step from Europe to our shores, and
it will be very unwlse to depend on
another spasm of quarantining to
keep cholera out next summer. Our
sanitary and municipal authorities
ought not to be idle during the next
few months. They should not wait
till cholera is knocking at the door,
ready to utilize favorable conditions
for the propagation of the disease.
