German Manufacturers Anxious to Learn
How Some Grades Arc Made.
WASHINGTON, Oct. THE German
leathermakers have been obliged to turn
to America to learn the latest develop.
ments in their trade in order to keep
pace in the competition for business.
and they are making strenuous efforts
to discover the process Of manufacture
used in this country. United States
Consul Merritt, at Bremen, shows
this fact in a report to the state
department., based on publications in
she German trade papers. The Ger
mans learned at the Chicago exposj
ton where the best and cheapest
leather in the world could be had. Ger.
man alum tanned leather has had its
day and the German shoemakers, who
three years ago would not look at the
American glazed kid, are now import
ing it direct and are trying to discover
the secret of its production by sending
experts to America, and by trying to
induce American work1nen to come t.,
Germany. Agencies for American
leather are found in every large Euro
pean city, but the business is largely in
English hands. The American trade is
helped by the high price of German.

Japanese Plums.

Many persons have observed various
varieties of a new fruit in the city mar
kets this summer and autumn. 1t is
from California, and it is the result Of
acclimating the japanese plum in this
fruitful state. The new plum is a sym
phony in fruit. It is a revelation to
those accustomed only to the hard, little
sour growth, mostly stung with insects
and dropping off premature, which
bears the name Of plum in our country.
We have to thank Japan for many
good things, but, beyond doubt, the
best Of all is this plum, Of melting
sweetness, juiciness and tenderness,
coming in many colors-red, yellow,
purple and deep green. It is fact, too,
that this luscious fruit will grow in
many parts Of the north and all parts
of the south. People who are once &C.
customed to it will lose much of thei,
appetite for pastry and other cookery.
half a dozen of these great, sweet
plums, beautiful as flowers of the gar
den of Eden, delicious as the ambrosi;
of the go s, are natures own dessert
for the close Of a dinner. Let us have
s:,ore Of them-plenty more Of them.
C..:y people will buy them.

ga Study In W1ves.''

. It il amusing to- read the article with
this title in The North American Re-
view. We learn from Grant Allen what
the English wife is like, from Max
O'Rell what the French wife is. Kari
Blind and Professor Boyesen give their
respective ideas not so much Of what
the German and scandinavian wife is
like as what they wish she was like.
They are apparently unable to distin-
gn1sh the differ ence.
Grant Allen says there are three types
Of the British wife-the laborer's, the
middle class, or tradesman's, and the
aristocrat's. "The ideal wife of the Ia
boring classes is housewife and mother
Of the antique Teutonic pattern. She
keeps company with her young man
from l6 to "a, then "she succeeds in
marrying him." After that her exis-
tence is round of maternity and cook
cry. Her husband seldom beats her IN
less he is drunk. "She is the material
ideal of materialized, brutalized, soul
less peasantry, and she does her duty
with a herois4 that moves ones respect
full pity" The ideal wife of the British
middle class is that renowned female,
the British matron. "She carries the
whole family triumphantly to church
and marries her daughters well to men
Of excellent principles. She is tho sim
pie and unattractively virtuous ideal Of
a solid, stolid, unimaginative bour-
geoisie."
The ideal wife Of the British aristoc
racy does not exist, Mr.: Allen says. The
North American Review paper is defec
tive in that it Sights the American wife
altogether.
Most charming Of all is the picture of
the ideal French wife, by that most &C.
complished Of romancers among facts,
Max O'Rell. The British wife of the
middle class takes no part in her hus-
bands business and asks no questions
about it. The French wife, Oh the con-
trary, is her husbands friend, his con-
fidant, his chum and his partner in
business. "Her constant aim is to be in
teresting to her husband, which is by
no means SO unworthy an aim as some
excellent wives seem to think it. How
ever poor the French wife may be, she
is always smart, tidy and alert, we'll
combed, well gloved and we'll shod.
"She understands to supreme degree
the poetry Of matrimony,' says Max
The wedding ceremony in France is not,
as in England, The end Of ,courtship, but
the beginning Of it. The Frenchwom~
ans husband is always her lover, "and
that is why Frenchwomen Of 40 are so
attractive" Which sounds very nice in.

There would be now good chance
for Uncle Sam to secure lot of fine
young American meg for his new cruis-
ers if he did not permit his officers who
graduated at Annapolis to lord it like
petty tyrants over fellows who are in
some instances better than they them
selves are. If Uncle Sam will see that
this petty tyranny is stopped, will sec
also that capable and high spirited
young men may be promoted as they de-
serve to be, even to the highest places,

New Jersey has probably the best
country roads Of any state in the Union.
Over them the farmer finds he can haul
nearly twice as heavy load with the
same horses as he was able to do under
the old system of rut and mudhole. IN
der the excellent plan of roadmaking
and repairing now in use, farm property
has increased in value, the farmer is
able to save both time and expense in
going to and from market, and the
whole state within an area Of a hundred
miles of New York is becoming ap-
parently a suburb of the big city and q
market garden for it. Besides that, hun
dreds Of families are attracted as resi-
dents to New Jersey. The drives are de-
lightful and trolleys are cheap and
abundant. The era Of prosperity was in
augurated with the movement for good
roads. The expenses Of road building in
New Jersey are apportioned as follows

A Grievance In Manistique ~

The proccrs of Manistique, Mich, are
making a complaint. They. waited long
ere they did so, suffering in silence.
Manistique is very independent town.
The spirit Of liberty that perched upon
the sails Of the Mayflower still scars
and spreads itself, especially over Man
'istique. All men are free there, and wo-2
men are as nearly free as the law will
let them be. The dogs, cats and pigs are
free. Even the COWS roam at their own
sweet will and pasture upon the streets
Of Manistique. 1t is goodly sight, the
streets of Manistique, when the June
grass is at it's best, with shining, large
eyed Holsteins and Jerseys switching
their tails and chewing their ouds in in
finite comfort under the shadow of the
very church belfries. But as the summer
begins to wane and pasturage gets short
the pretty beasties are less content
They leave the street and begin to pas
ture on the grocers' lay outs. Cabbages.
apples, potatoes, and even peach butter
are all one to them. They make a regu-
lar Thanksgiving dinner of the whole,
kit. ~ m
The gentle grocers could neither kick
the COWS nor kick against them. Any
indignity to Mrs. Jenkins COW, aud
Jenkins would come. no more for her
weekly pound of sugar and bar of soap.
But the thing grew serious. Even with
piecing out by the little economies OF
weight. and measure, the infinitesimal
mixing of skimmilk with cream and the
ininitesimal substitution Of this for
that which are the secrets Of the grocer
trade, the COWS still ate up all the
profits Now the grocers beg the city
council to afford them relief. y
We hereby extend to the grocers OF
Manistique our heartfelt sympathy.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE Exam
liner says: One Of the greatest sensa-
tions in the Durrant case and one which
comes now as climax with crushing
weight upon the accused, has become
the property of the prosecution. Theo-
dore Durrant not only confessed to a

Cheney's lecture, but he begged. his
friend to take his notes to his mother,
Mrs. Durrant, that they might be
copied.

A Negro on Negro Criminals.

There is class Of blacks throughout
the south known there as common ne
groes. =" If Mr.. Emmett j. Scott, himself
a colored man, were speaking the latter
of the two quoted words, he would doubt
less pronounce it as it is pronounced in
the south. Mr.. Scott is editor of the
Texas Freeman. He takes the ground
very unusual for one of his race, that
there is a low and vicious element
among the negroes of the south, and it
is on the persons of criminals from this
class that the judgments Of lynch law
are executed.
Mr.. Scott deplores the fact that the
black race is so largely judged from
these idle and vicious specimens, but
he sees no help for it so long as they are
permitted to exist. He calls on respect
able colored persons everywhere to be-
gin a crusade that will tend to lift this
element up mentally and morally. De-
cent colored people damage the cause of
their whole race when they try to de-
fend the common negro"
I Mr.. Scott says:
! "The common negro" is natural product
of slavery and the reaction from slavery. Pa
ia in evidence in every southern community
and in few Of the northern and western
ones He complexities the race problem. He
makes difficult the pathway Of the honest, re-
spectacle and ambitious members Of his race.
He is too often, it is true, made the standard
by which his whole race is judged, but under
the circumstances this is unavoidable. An
honest admission that he exists and that he ia
to be dealt with Just as the criminal members
Of other races Of the population are will be Of
incalculable advantage to Afro Americans and
to society generally.

If ever ship was ca lculated to pass
through ice foes without being crushed,
it was DR.. Nansen's stout little Fran.
The chances are certainly against the
truth of the report that she was seen
drifting helplessly wedged in among ice
cakes. She was fiat bottomed and had
heavily sloping sides, so as to be lifted
up by ice masses instead Of being borne
down and crushed by them. Every pos
sible precaution has been taken to make
her warm, and sho has electric lights,
the dynamo being moved by wind power
as the vessel steams Or drifts. The ship
is provisioned and fueled for five years,
although Nansen expected to be absent
only three. His set time will not be up
till August, 1896. ~-. %2.,e. r.:
The brave Norwegian explorer began
his trip firm in the theory of open water
around the orth pole. The most north
erly point ever reached by man was
made by the American Lockwood May
s, 1882. This was latitude 83. "a. From
the height of cliff near the explorers
could see as far eastward as latitude
1886, to a point they named Camp
Washington. There was not trace
of land, either to the north or north
west. There was an open sea. Had
there been icefelds Lockwood could have
gone farther: Nansen believes he could
reach this open sea and be borne across
it by polar currents, even if he could
not steam or sail across He hoped to
be able to cross the pole itself. Until
next August, therefore, there will be no
occasion for real uneasiness as to the
fate Of Nansen. "
