TWO EXQUISITE FEATHERS.
One from the Elephant, the Other from
 the Water Snako.

One from the Elephant, the Other from
 the Water snako.
 Two new exquisite sorts of leather have recently appeared Both are studies in color and both are costly in the extreme, yet they are wholly un- like. One, elephant hide. is undyed- only tanned-and it takes most beautiful brown tone. It is peculiar, being decidedly and irregularly rough, yet as soft as the finest calf The other skin, which is that of the water snake, is, on the contrary, as thin and smooth as satin. It shows markings in gray and white that are tender, and if one can forget his snakeship, most bewitching.
 As yet neither of the skins has been seen at any but the most select shops, and it is probable that the cost will keep them both select for long time to come. The lowest price quoted for an elephant card case is fifteen dollars, and that means one of the very plain est make. A simple snake skin purse is marked twenty-five dollars and thirty eight dollars does not purchase any great elaboration, only gold finish and clasp. Whether this high rate is due to difficulty in the process or to the scarcity of the skins is not to be ascertained. In either case the re- suit is the same.
 The new feathers are valuable addi- tions to the leather supply beyond doubt. Whether or not they will ever become popular-that is, whether or not the supply will ever sufficiently in- crease-is question impossible to an- swer at the present time.-Montreal

Meat Inspection Discontinued.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Aug. 10.-The microscopic department of the bureau of animal industry at this point has been suspended by the secretary of az. riculture, and thirty-tive women, each drawing a salary of $50 per month, have been thrown out of employment. Just how long the suspension will last is question. Dr. c. J. Sihler, chief inspector of the department, says that it will likely last two months, although the work might be resumed within thirty days: Other employees in the de- partment claim that the suspensi ion is equivalent to abolishment.

MARINE DISASTERS.
A Collision in Mid-Ocean and a
 Wreck.
A British Ship and an Unknown Vessel Col lide-Both Go to the Bottom-Lives Lost-Wrecked and Sixty
 Persons Drowned.

PHuADELruIA, Aug. 9.-The British ship Prince Oscar from Liverpool, Capt Henderson, collided in mid-ocean on July IS with an unknown sailing vessel Both ships sank in less than ten min utes Six members of the crew of the Prince Oscar and all on board the un. known vessel were lost The survivors, seventeen in number, were rescued by the ship Dhwar, after being confined in an open boat with neither food nor water for three days They were transferred to the British steamship Capac, from Pisaqua, and brought to this port last night.
 Capt. Henderson, of the Prince Oscar, said; ''On the night of July IS, when the collision occurred, I had just turned in, leaving the deck in charge of the chief officer. The wind was southeast and squally, and there was consider able sea. We were going along at possibly six and half knots an hour, with everything set The mate saw nothing of the approaching yes, sel until she was almost on top ot us, and he positively asserts that she was without side lights She had every stitch of canvas set and was jumping through the water at lively rate. Consequently when the vessels came together the crash was terrific and the damage was sufficient to cause both to go to the bottom within ten minutes time. Not sound cam e from those on board the unknown ship, and at the expiration of five minutes the tops of her masts were seen sinking beneath the surface of the water"
 Sixty Drowned.
 SYDNEY, N. s. w., Aug. 9.-A boats crew of Chinese has been landed at Forster, about 100 miles north of this port. The men report that the British steamer Catterthun, 1, 400 tons, which sailed from Hong Hong on May P for Australian ports, was wrecked Wednes- day evening. Later in the day some details of the wreck of the Catterthun were received here from Forster. The steamship, it appears, was wrecked on the Seal rocks off Cape Hawk during a gale. The passengers, who numbered seventy persons, of whom fifty five were Chinese, were asleep below when the ship grounded. A tug which has returned from the scene of the wreck of the British steamer Catterthun saved the remain der of the passengers and crew of the steamship, and there is now little doubt that sixty persons drowned, of whom forty-six were Chinese.

Good Food Allowed to Decay a Feature

There are few households in the land

The present activity in the field of diet

American.
Housewives do not always realize that
they have prominent part to play in this
grave question of the day, the disposal of
garbage" That responsibility lies within
the domestic threshold, and to consign the
collection of waste to the scavenger is not
the limit of her power nor self-satisfying
conclusion. What she consigns does not
concern her, and this "bete noir" found in
every part of the land,.a subject fraught
with almost insurmountable difficulties to-
those whose business it is to find a health
full and quick disposal of garbage, is far
more the business of the housekeeper than
she is willing to acknowledge. We must
go back of the garbage can to find the
cause. American extravaganza is pro-
verbal the world over. We provide with
lavish hand. Unskilled and Indifferent
help waste accordingly. Expenditure for
food in a large percentage of the middle
and lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three fourths of the income.
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small in
the wealthier families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage-can. Lack. OF robustness
among a certain class and the amount of
debility affecting a majority of people,
prove to investigators want of proper
nutriment to build up the overwrought
body, which must endure somehow the
strain and stress of American life and eli

The unintelligent methods of poor SER

cause of the effect. 1t is considered their
prerogative to- waste what does not suit
their fancy. "Leayings" which may be

not palatable to their taste, and SO good
material is speedily. hidden from sight,
more is called for, and haphazard supply
to keep Bridget good-natured furnishes
her with an abundance to overflow ASH
cans, clog pipes, choke traps, fill cesspools
draw vermin and offer culture as medium
for the ubiquitous microbe. Noxious
odors offend the nostrils and dangerous
effluvia jeopardize health and obstruct
sanitary measures.
1t is Just this waste in the world that
has been the cause of plaques, pestilence
and diseases 1t is wasted time, strength,
money, happiness and too often, life.
