Then IRE Not nKtdv Gloves.

Kid gloves are as a rule, misnamed,
since most of them are made of the skins of
lambs, aud long, tedious process it is from
the skinning of the youthful sheep to the
trying on my lady's glove by the shOp-girl
over the counter. OF course genuine kid
gloves are purcbasable, but they are expen-
sive, and no better in appearance or for
wear than those made of lambskin. The
skins chosen for gloves are of the finest
grades, and as little as possible subject to
imperfections.
First of all, the skins are soaked in
sticky decoction in which the yolks of eggs
play prominent part, and this is well
worked into the skins by pounding them
with heavy padded stick or treading with
the feet. After this feeding or "nourish-
ing" of the skin is completed, all superhu-
Gus 'nourishment" is removed in clear, soft
water and the skins are stretched to their
utmost capacity.
While still on the stietchers they are
dyed, or literally painted with dyestuf,
which is applied with brush, and allow
ance is made for lighter shade in drying.
The skins are then dried in sort Of Turk
ish bathroom, which makes them stiff and
hard. This effect is removed, however, by
packing 10 wet sawdust, and they are again
stretched to the desired degree, when they
are cut This requires skilled labor, for in
the cut Of a glove lies much Of its value
aud desirability. BY the aid of little ma
chine Of the bOdkin nature tiny holes are
punched where the stitches are to be set,
which, Of course, insures evenness and reg
ularity. The stitching Of gloves is not done
with silk, but with linen thread which ex-
actly matches the skin.

The compromise measure devised by The
Democratic conference committee, aud
agreed 10 by most Of the Democratic Sena-
tors under the belief that it was approved
BY the administration, seems to be Practi'
cally defeated, as it is officially announced
that the President viii not consider any
compromise and insists upon unconditional
repeal Of the silver-purchsse act. The meas
ure provided tor repeal to take effect OcIo-
Der, 1894 The only prospect of accomplish
ing anything - unless the Republicans
should propose some measure acceptable to
some Of the silver men-seems to lie IN a
change of the rules of the Senate. This
plan will probably be vigorously pressed by
Senator Hill. Later.-The Southern Sena-
tors who have been assisting in the flibus-
ter against the repeal bill have declined to
carry on the fight, and the Western silver
men admit that they are beaten. 1t isSen-
ator Faulkuers opinion that the bill will
be passed not later than next Saturday.
Senators Voorhees,, Harris, Aldrich and
Dubois, representing the two factions in each
party, have authorized the statement that
they believe the fight is ended and that the
vote will be taken on unconditional repeal
at the earliest possible mOmenI-that Is, as
soon as the Republicans have finished their
speeches, which will be within a day or TWO.
A recess was taken yesterday afternoon un-

desolate island home in the Himalayan
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to the
more civilized south. Like most savages,
they looked with indifference at the mar
wells about them, and once only were they
excited by an incident which opened their
eyes to what they considered most extra
ordinary and unnatural state of things.
They were descending road when one
of them CHANGED to remark that he was
hungry, and the English 'sahib" bought
him some food at wayside shop. The
Ka6r saw the money change hands
Chow is this?" he inquired in surprise
"Do you have to pay for food in this coun-
tIy?"
Certainly"
"What a country :" cried the man in
Management. Then after bordering awhile,
he continued doubtfully, Suppose a man
had no money in this country; he might

The Kafr shook with uncomfortable
laughter 1t was the best joke be had ever
heard He then explained the ridiculous
system to his companions, and they roared
in chorus Youths Companion.
