The Most Costlv Leather.

The most costly leather now In the
market is known to the trade as piano
leather" American tanners years ago
discovered the secret Of making Rus
STA leather, with its peculiarly pungent
and lasting odor, but the secret of MAX
ing piano leather Is known only to a
family of tanners in Thuringia, Ger
many. This leather has but one use
the covering of piano keys. A peculiar
thing about 1t is that the skins from
which it is tanned are prepared almost
entirely in America. 1t is a particular
kind of buckskin. The skin of the
common red or Virginia deer will not
make the leather-a species of the ami
NAL known as the gray deer, and found
only in the vicinity of the great
northern lakes, alone furnishing the
material. The German tanners have
an agency in the West, which collects
the skins of the deer from the Indians
and the half breed hunters, who supply
the market. When the skins are re-
turned to this country as piano leather
they cost the piano manufacturer from
$15 to SIS n pound.

bargain after all. For Kitty was
plainly much interested in the patient
lover who had toiled so long and SO
steadily for the privilege of calling on
her 'just once" and 1t might be, the
old man reasoned. that she would al
low him to call the second time, and
perhaps a third, and perhaps-but the
thought was too awful to entertain
and the old man stroye to dismiss 1t.
Failing in that he questioned the girl,
who refused to answer satisfactorily
and the two had a quarrel in which
Mrs. Sylvester Joined, taking Kittys
part most vigorously.
On the last day of the stipulated
twelve months Shiftless Rufe went to
his work early and began with quick.
eager strokes to cut a big hickory. He
had become an expert aXman by this
time and the sun was not yet high In
the sky when the big tree came down
with a crash. 1t SC happened that l
was over In the big woods that day
with a ~neighbor looking at the timber.
We heard the tree fall and at the same
time a scream as II a strong man were
in mortal agony. In a hurry ran In
the direction of the sound, guided by
low means that followed the shrek.
There, pinned under a branch Of the
fallen tree, lay Shiftless Rufe, badly
crushed and barely conscious. For the
first time in the entire year he had mis-
calculated in telling his tree. AS quick
ly as we could my neighbor and l cut
away the branch and released the
young man. Then we got together a
stretcher of boughs on which we pro-
posed to carry him home. AS we lifted
him he opened his eyes.
Il wish you'd take me owe to Syl-
westerns first" he said, family. Il
want to call on his daughter. She said
l might come to-night-and so did her
father-and-maybe-if you take me
home before 1 go there l won't be able
to see her tonight at ALL"
SO we carried him across to the big
house on the Barley estate. Part Of
the way he vas quite unconscious and
part of the way he was pathetically
delirious, but when we reached the
house he was quite rational, though
very weak. And 20 it was that 1 was
present when Rufe Dunning made love
to Kitty Sylvester. His love-making
didn't take long, for his strength was
about gone. but he had time to say
what he wanted to say and to hear
what he wanted to hear. And when,
after a long look into Kitty's eyes, poor
Rufe peacefully closed his own, his big
hand, no longer soft and pulpy, but
sinewy and strong, clasped her little
one in the clasp of an accepted lover.

WOMAN,S LOVE.

A sentinel angel, sitting high In glory,
Heard this shrill wall ring out from pur-
gatory:
Have mercy, mighty angel! Hear my

II loved. and, blind with passionate love,
l fell;
Love brought me down to death, and
death TO hell
For God is just, and death for sin is we'll.

Nor for myself do ask that grace shall be,
But for my love on earth, who mourns for
me. .
Great spirit, let me see my love again,
Ard comfort him one hour, and l were

But still she walled: 81 pray thee, let me

Oh, let me soothe him in his bitter woe!"
The brazen gates ground sullenly ajar,
And upward. joyous, like a rising star.
She rose, and vanished in the ether far.
But soon adown the dying sunset sailing,
And, like a wounded bird, her pinions
trailing,
She futtered pack with broken-hearted
wailing.
She sobbed: 81 found him by the sum-
mer sea
Reclined, his head upon n maiden's knee;
She curled his hair, and kissed him. Woe

She wept: Nov let my punishment be-

German Navy Is Modern.

A German navy is quite a modern
thing, and many patriotic Germans
cannot see much necessity for one.
Frederick the Great never bothered
his head about a navy, yet managed to
thrash all his neighbors, and make Of
Prussia the strongest war force in all
Europe. His successors down to the
year 1884 looked upon n navy as I'M
necessary. In 1884 Bismarck was
hard pressed for some new toy with
which to amuse his captious parlia-
mentary nursery, 50 lie hoisted Ger
man flags in several swamps along the
shores of Africa and proclaimed Ger
many a colonial power, and of course
colonies must be protected, so a navy
had to be built.-Harper's Weekly
