Barharous Japanese Customs.

From evidence that it seems difficult
to dispute, it appears that in the Celes-
tial empire old, incurably diseased and
hopelessly depravcd persons are fre-
qucntly burned alive in order to rid
the community of the burden and re-
sponsibility of their care-taking. This
arrangement is the result of mutual
understanding, the victims asserting
to and sometimes assisting in the pre-
liminary ceremonies. The usage seems
to have been recognized by the high
est authorities, and the burials have
certainly been conducted with the
sanction of the ruling powers. Great
preparations are made and there is
much ado, and sometimes show of
grief, but great deal of the latter is
evidently perfunctory, as there is an
an-around feeling of satisfaction on
the part of the spectators and more or
less complacency on the mind of the
victim, who is comforted by the as
surance that he is fulfilling a tradition
and will earn the respect of his an
cestors and gone-befores. This custom
is scarcely more strange and barbarous
than the Japanese practice of COM
pelling a man for certain crimes or
calamities4to commit suicide. 1t would,
at least, have its compensations in
that the criminal could be made to
take himself off and thus leave no un-
pleasant reflections upon the mind of
hangman or executione$-

PATENT LEATHER.
The Process for Producing the Shiny
Surface.

Tho Process for Producing the Shiny
Surface.
Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather, was first made in
America. A smooth, glazed finish is
first given to calfskin in France. The
leather, says the New York Telegram,
is curried expressly for the purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep it
as free as possible from grease; the
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with a composition of linseed
oil and umber, in the proportion of
eighteen gallons of oil to five of umber
boiled until nearly solid and then mixed
with spirits of turpentine to the proper
consistency. Lampblack is also added
when the composition is applied in or
der to give color and body. From
three to four coats of this are neces-
sary to form a substance to receive the
varnish. They are laid on with Il knife
or scraper. To render the goods soft
and plant each coat must be very
light and thoroughly dried after each
application. a thin coat is afterward
applied of the same composition of
proper consistency to be put ON with
brush and with sufficient lampblaclz
boiled in it to make a perfect black.
When thoroughly dry it is cut down
with scraper having turned edges,
when it is ready to varnish. The princi-
pal varnish used is made of linseed oil
and Russian blue, boiled to the thick
ness of printers ink. 1t is reduced
with spirits of turpentine to suitable
consistency to work with a brush, and
then applied in two or three separate
coats, which are scraped and pumiced
until the leather is perfectly filed and
smooth. The finishing coat is put on
with special care in room kept closed
andS with the floor wet to prevent
dust. The frames are then run into an
oven heated to about one hundred and
seventy-ive degrees. In preparing
this kind of leather the manufacturer
must give the skin as high heat as it
can bear il order to dry the compost
ton on the surface as rapidly as pos
sible without absorption, and eau
tiously, so as not to injure the fiber of
the leather

AN EXPENSIVE LIGHT.
An Inveterate Smoker Paid Thirty Thou
sand Dollars for Fuse.


sand Dollars Tor Fuse
Inveterate smokers acknowledge
that the habit is most expensive one,
but it is seldom that light for cigar
costs a smoker fortune, as in the
story told by the author of ''Glances
Back Through Seventy Years. He
was an inveterate smoker, having con-
tracted "a diseased habit of putting
away at q cigar every moment he was
not eating or sleeping" He smoked
only the very best brands, and in
those careless days spent, he says, more
for cigars than it /afterward cost him
to live.
Well, one afternoon day or two be-
fore ''Palmer's Life was published,
had been to a prize-cattle show at
Chelmsford and then to a dinner with
the Royal Agricultural society, and on
arriving in town by the last train, as 1
was walking homeward my cigar un-
fortunately went out and, much to my
annoyance, discovered 1 had no fuses
about me. The streets, too, were de-
serted, so that there was nobody from
whom light could be obtained.
On descending Ludgate hill noticed
that the gas of the gas lamp, perched
high against the wall just within
Belle-Sauvage yard, was broken. There
being Il slanting ledge at the lower
part of this wall placed my foot on it,
and, springing up, succeeded in light
ing paper-spill which ] had impro-
vised. but in my rapid descent one of
my feet unluclily caught the edge of
the curb and dislocatcd my ankle and
broke the small bone OF my leg.
Quick us thought l wrccched the an
l1le into its place again, but it was not
so easy to unite two pieces OF fractured
bone, so 1 hoped to n neighboring
post and there awaited the protecting
peeler's periodic round.
He came at last and charitably put
me into a cab and accompanied me
home. was carried upstairs, a sur
geon was sent for and the broken limb
was set Then 1 was put to bed and
told l should have to remain there a
month or more.
1t was while 1 was fretting under this
involuntary confinement that my part
ner in ''Palmer's Life paid me sym
pathetic visit and bought me out of
the speculation for Il mere song, with
out, of course, saying a word to me of
the phenomenal success our joint ven
ture had already met with.
Owing to this circumstance L have
always reckoned that the going-out of
my cigar cost me aboutfiftecn hundred
pounds, which actuaries tell me would,
with compound interest added, have
amounted to some six thousand pounds
at this date. A sum sufficient, fancy,
to buy up all the ''partagas imperiales
superfinos'' in the world

An old Timer.

Abraham Garrison, the brother of the
late Commodore Garrison, who died at
Allegheny, Pa, at the age of ninety, a
few days since, said in a reminiscent
mood recently: In 1876, when was in
Washington, saw Clay, Calhoun, Web
ster and Benton in the senate. A party
of us each paid Samuel B. Morse fifty
cents to telegraph our names to Balti-
more, and he was glad to get the
money. In 1910 L saw Gen. William
Henry Harrison drive up to the old
Pittsburg hotel, now the st. Charles
hotel, with an old army comrade. 1t
was showing, and some men told the
general to put on his hat, which he
had raised to acknowledge the greet
ings of the people. The general laughed
and said to the old comrade at his side:
We have been in worse situation than
this without our hats, and itwon't hurt
u.s."

peafness cnnnot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflam nation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever !;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
