ANOTHER DINGLEY INSTANCE.

A peculiar condition of the hide mar
ket is noted by the Chicago Shoe and
Leather Review. 1.-THE packers are
asking in some instances a half cent
more than the prices fixed by recent
sales,' observes this nonplussed trade
journal, and then it goes on to surmise
as to causes, seemingly unmindful of
the fact that the condition is entirely
and directly due to the legislation of
the last Congress.
The Dingley bill imposes an ad va
loren duty of Is per cent upon hides.
This duty practically shuts the doors
of our market to the hides of South
America, from which section large
quantities have been imported to the
United States. AS long as the Dingley
bill is law, no hides from foreign
countries can find their way to us. We
are compelled to rely on our own re-
sources for the raw material of leather
There would be some possible iusti-
ket if any considerable number of the
American people were to reap the bene-
fits which the Dingleyites intended
should ensue from a tariff of Is per
cent. But the only benefciaries are
those shrewd and wealthy individuals
comprising the American Leather
Trust. This trust is controlled by the
Armours and other heavy packers of
Chicago, Of whose chief industry hides
the largest contributors to the McKin-
ley campaign fund. The cattle raiser
gets no more for his stock because OF
the Is per cent duty. The hide goes
with the COW. But the American
Leather Trust, having stifled competi-
ton with the aid of the Republican
party, can charge about what it pleases
for its hides. Leather manufacturers
don't mind the increased prices they
have to pay, because they can main,
tain their profits at the old STANDARD
by putting up the prices on their manu-
features. The people who buy boot.
and shoes and leather in it's various
others forms are the only sufferers
They are compelled to pay the Ar
mours and others back the money con
tributed for McKinley's election witt
interest so large as will fill the Golfer
Of the American Leather Trust to re
pletion.
The injury inflicted upon the leathe
manufacturer by this duty come
through source that Blaine devote,

MAKING IT Hor FoR JOHN BULL


A dispatch published in a French
paper says that after sounding
all the European governments outside
OF Great Britain, the Sultan is about
to address formal note concerning
the relations of England to Egypt, and
that Russia will support the Sultan in
inviting a conference of the powers at
Constantinople or St. Petersburg to
consider the question: of notifying
Great Britain to evacuate Egypt and
restore it to the suzerainty of Turkey,
which is just what France would like
to have done, and if it should be done
Great Britain would be placed in a
pretty predicament.
The movement of the Anglo-Egypt-
ian troops up the Nile for the restora-
ton OF the Soudan to Egypt is evidence
OF the strongest kind that Great Brit
ain has no intention of quitting Egypt,
and it is doubtful if it will consent to
quit at the demand of Turkey backed
up by Russia. The humiliation would
be too great. But, on the other hand,
could it afford to refuse a demand
should it be made in the name of the
powers? Suppose Russia should insist
and France should be bound by it's al
legged treaty to back up Russia. In
that case Turkey would permit the
passage of a Russian feet from the
Black Sea to help drive England out of
Egypt, the Mohammedan tribes in At
ghanistan or on it's borders would at
the instigation of the Sultan permit the
passage of Russian troops from Cen
trial Asia into British India, and the
British empire would be attacked at it's
most valuable points in Asia and
Africa.
But there may be no solid foundation
for the alleged news from ST. Peters
burg in the Paris paper Just now the
Paris press is full of sensational reports !
about international complications. In |
the meantime there has been no au- |
thentic confirmation of the stories |
about Franco-Russian alliance. The |
terms OF the alleged treaty have not i
yet Ueen uIvuiscu, nv. a----.. L..,, oH
cially stated that a treaty was actually /
signed during the visit of President |
Faure to Russia, Notwithstanding the
account of the proceed
ing in Paris paper.

According to the Cleveland Plain

TIE HOUSEHOLD.
The Homelike and Attractive Dining
Room-Napery of the Kitchen.
Recipe For Lemon Pies.

1t is by no means going too far to say
that pleasant, well appointed dining
room is a means of grace to the average
family. Tt is there that the various
members of the family congregate to-
gether most often, not only to partake
of creature comforts, but under favor
able conditions to also enjoy ga feast of
reason and flow of SOUL" and it goes
without saying that such a rendezvous
should be the subject of much careful
study on the part of the mistress of the
house, especially in homes where one
room often serves the double purpose of
dining room and sitting room.
An open fireplace in dining room is
always desirable, and a sunny window
with blossoming plants and running
vines adds much to it's cheerfulness.
The finishing should be of hard wood,
oiled; the floor of the same material,
with a large rug in the center. The dim
ing table should also be of hard wood,
solid and substantial
The walls and ceiling should be paint
ed or tinted in some soft, light shade,
and pictures-not the agonizing spec
tacle of dead birds, animals or fishes,
that are likely to shock the sensibilities
of many people, but few choice etch-
ings and sunny landscapes-a mantle,
with a clock and few pieces Of bric-a-
brac are all pleasant accessions. But if
there is one piece of extravaganza that
may be pardoned housewifely soul it
is the gathering together of a store of
fine table linen and rare, quaint pieces
of china, glass and silver with which
to decorate her table And it is poor
policy to relegate those cherished be-
longings to the china closet, TO be
brought forth only ON state occasions,
for there is no more efficient promoter
of refinement or we'll bred social inter
course in the family than an attractive,
well appointed dining table.
Even in the most humble home, where
strict economy is a necessity, a few
pieces of glass and china can generally
be managed, which, with spotless ta-
blecloth and a simple bunch of flowers,
will give a cheerful, festive air to the
most frugal repast.
Oftentimes in the best regulated fam
lilies some little hitch in the domestic
service will cause a few moments delay
i'm serving the meal. Then it is that
comfortable couch, few easy chairs
and a table we'll filed with the latest
newspapers and magazines will be
found means of grace which no wise
housewife can afford to ignore, for with
these and a little womanly tact the
wheels of domestic machinery may be SO
cleverly oiled that no friction will ever
occur, says Good Housekeeping in dis
coursing on the dining room.

Small Ca1iber Rifle Wounds.

Hunters have given the 80 caliber
snokeless powder rifles a pretty thor
ough trial during the last year, and most
of them are satisfied with it's work on
game in cases where soft nose bullet
was used. A hard nose bullet from the
80 ca1iber rife, it appears, when it hits
a deer passes through, leaving "pin-
hole, +" and causes the deer TO run all
the faster. With soft nose bullet, that
curls over on hitting the flesh, the
effect is usually deadly.
W. T. Carlin tells in Recreation about
shooting a grizzly bear with soft nose
bullet of 80 caliber One shot hit the
bear in the shoulder and smashed both
shoulders to pieces" The shock ''con-
gested the blood clear back to her
hams. - And another shot in the head
broke the bones into Is pieces, besides
splinters. An elk, shot through the
shoulders, leaped up and fell dead. The
bullet hit no bones, but stopped under
the skin ON the far side. Antelopes shot
almost anywhere in the body fell with
in 90 yards, seldom stopping the bullet
The holes the bullets made were small
at the entering point, but where the
bullets came out one could frequently
put doubled fist into the wound. Com
monty the wound was two inches across.
A single hard nose bullet fired from
mannlicher rife at rhinoceros passed
lengthwise through it, killing it, and
then through another ones shoulders,
killing it too. Tigers shot through the
body sickened at once when a soft nose
bullet was used, while deer of all sorts
were knocked down by the force of the
bullets, and not often were able to get
to their feet again.
The bullets that mushroom come out
in different shapes. Some fly to pieces,
only shreds of the metal coating re-
manning on the battered butt, the lead
being found, in tiny splinters, scattered
in the flesh in the path of the bullet.
Some bullets curled back, looking like
toadstools with rounded tops, hut these
hit no bones The bones are shattered,
and they distort or smash the bullets.

Neck Dressing

A novelty in neck dressing is made of
alternate ruffies of velvet and lace. The
velvet is cut on the bias and is closely
plated and finished on the outer edge
with very narrow lace trimming The
lace ruffies are wide enough exactly to
meet the lace that edges the velvet.
The whole is plated together SO as to
form ruche that fills in almost the en-
tire space between the tips of the ears
and the shoulders The front is finished
with large rosette of lace and velvet,
and long ends of the two materials fall
over the front of the waist.-Exchange
