African Skins.

Between 1850 and 1875 it is certain
that some millions of blesbok9 wilde
beest and springbok must have been de-
stroyed in the Transvaal and Orange
Free State. The slaughter was so prodl-
gious and the variety Of wild animals
so great in these wild regions of South
Africa that the result made a sensible
difference in the leather industry of Eu-
rope. The markets were filed with
skins which, when tanned, gave leather
of quality and excellence never known
before, but the origin of which, as the
material was still sold under old names,
purchasers never suspected Hides OF
the zebra and quagga arrived in tens OF
thousands, and good as horsehide is for
the uppers of first class boots, these
were even better. Smart Englishmen
for years wore boots the uppers Of
which were made of zebra and quagga
skin or from the hides cf Glands, onyx
and gemsbok disguised under the names
of Calf or patent leathers.-London

cornstalk Hay In the South.

The use CT machinery for shredding
cornstalks into coarse hay is rapidly
extending in the north. 1t is the almost
universal practice in the south to gather
and cure the blades and harvest the ears
Of corn. leaving the entire stalks ID the
field to prove nuisance and obstruction
in the preparation and cultivation OF the
land in the succeeding crop and winter
homes and alternating retreats for IN
sects that will be ready to attack such
crops, especially if it shall be another
crop of corn. Farmers have habitually
considered this large part Of the crop as
of no practical value according to the
director of the Georgia station, who
calculates that by so doing there are
300 pounds of food lost for every 81
bushels Of shelled corn. He says: The
corn crop of Georgia, for convenience,
may be stated at 81, 900, 900 bushels
sometimes less, often more. Then, at
1900 pounds of corn hay, heretofore not
saved, for every 81 bushels of corr, the
total loss in the state would be 300
pounds x 100000 1900, 600, 900
pounds. or $50, 900 tons of corn hay, a
very good food and worth at least $40 q
ton, or total of Sc, 500, 900, or about
enough to pay for all the commercial
fertilizers used in Georgia in one year.

Washing In Hard Water.

It is difficult to wash our hands clean
with hard wa:es, because the soda OF
the soap combines with the sulphurlc
acid of the hard water and the OIL OF
the soap with the lime and floats in
fakes on the top of the water. Sulphate
of lime consists of sulphuric acid and
lime. 1t is difficult to wash in salt wa
ter because it contains murlatlc acid,
and the soda of soap combines with the
lnuriatic acid of the salt water and pro-
duces cloudiness.

WHY They Wore Armor.

To such pitch of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
in it is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half hundredweight of metal.
Armor was worn solely in order to
avoid the worry of shirts with missing
buttons
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain steel shirts
When one Of these garments came home
on Saturday night f1faa the washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona-
bly, certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all III
their proper places. for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded In detachlng
Them without the use of cold chlsel
If it did so happen that the washerwo1n-
ans husband had been run over by
steam roller while weaving q steel shirt
belonging to one of his wife's custom
ers. and one of the metallic fastenings
had thereby been injured, the customer
in question could not accuse his vile
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts IN proper
repair.-London Answers.

CARE OF FURNITURE.
How to Freshen and Preserve Oiled ead
Vanished Woods.

How to Freshen and Preserve Oiled ead
Vanished Woods.
AS the best of furniture will grow
dusty and shabby in appearance careful
housekeepers are constantly fighting the
approach of age and dirt from their
household goods in the way Of chairs
and tables. Oak wainscoting and furni-
ture are likely in time to assume
greasy appearance, which should be re-
moved during the annual houseclean-
ing by washing it in warm beer. To
give it handsome gloss brush it over
with mixture of two quarts Of beer,
boiled with tablespoonful of sugar,
and piece Of beeswax as large as q
walnut. When dry, polish with a
chamois or flannel If oak or walnut
articles are infected with tiny insect
chat bores holes until the wood crum
bles into fine powder, stop its wild
career by saturating the wood with Gre
osote. Do not allow it to dry for several
days.
If furniture is very dirty, it should
be washed in water and vinegar, equal
parts, using flannel rag, and then,
after perfect drying, rubbed with q
clean flannel and little linseed oil be-
fore using any liquid or cream polish.
If table bears the telltale mark left
by hot plate, rub it we'll with lamp
oil an !. flannel, finishing off with a
clean cloth slightly wet with spirits Of
wine Another notable housewife re-
stores the original polish, when it has
beon removed by warm dish, with lin
seed oil, rubbed in with a piece of lin
en-, changing the linen until the table
top is perfectly dry. White spots are
removed by rubbing them with a piece
of flannel and tarpentine, repeating the
application if necessary, and in any
case rubbing with good will until pa.
tience and strength are about exhausted.
Unsightly finger marks disappear
from vanished furniture when rubbed
with sweet oil and from oiled wood If
kerosene is rubbed on the spots. A bruise
should be treated with piece Of brown
paper, folded several times and soaked
in hot water. Over this hold a moder-
ately warm iron until all steamipg
ceases. If necessary, repeat the process,
emembering that one application does
not always turn out a success. Always
apply alcohol sparingly upon furniture,
if at ali, or it will destroy the polish.
Clean carved furniture every week by
thoroughly busting itwith new paint
brush. II the mahogany table that is
the pride of your heart shows stains,
drop on them q mixture of six parts OF
spirits Of salt and ons Of salts of lemon
or few drops Of oxalic acid and water.
rubbing until the stain disappears, and
then wash with water and polish as
usual. If mahogany only needs clean
;7g, rub it with flannel dipped in
sweet oil or cold drawn linseed oil. In
rubbing wood follow the grain and do
not rub against it any more than you
would in people if wishing happy re-
sult-New York Sun.
