LEATHER COATS.

Leather coats are made of sheepskin,
OF horsehide ard of dogskin. They are
lined with corduroy, with flannel, and
with sleeps wool. The corduroy-lined
coats are made reversible, so that they
may be worn either side out. The coats
OF sheepsldn are usually finished black.
the horsehide and dogskin coats russet-
colored. 4 leather coat of sheepskin,
corduroy-lined, costs about Eve douars;
horsehide coats sell for S12 to SIS, and
6ogskin coats for SIS.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by trucknen ard policemen and hunt
ers and lunbernen. The leather coat
is servieeabie and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying, FER
haps, for hours in battery, waiting.
keeps warm in a leather coat. The
sportsman after big game wears a
leather coat. 1t keeps the wearer warm
without impeding his movements.
4 leather coat is sometimes worn IN
der another coat fer the sake OF its
warmth, as. perhaps. by a policeman.
And the leather coat may be wcrn with
the corduroy side out. so that more
leather coats are worn here in cities
thar might be supposed.

A writer in the Pesther Lloyd says
that there are two souls animating the
German emperor, which are struggling
for the ascendancy. Zone is the soul
of his ancestor Frederick II. and is in
tinenced by the entire history of his
house. This soul, had il alone Inspired
the emperor, would have made him 4
conservative. self-centered. religious
and, on the whole. one-sided prince
regarding himself as summus episcopus
of his coGntry's church, as the absolute
chief of so many legions, and also as
the despotic master of men, like all
Puussian kings before him." The
other is the soul of a modern absolutist.

aid Some mother probably riginated

"a child is taken III in neighborhood
with scarlet fever and the house and
family are at once isolated. The neigh
bors have great sympathy for the child's
mother and they scheme together to
send something that wiz help to amuse
the little one when it is getting better.
As you see, the toys are of iron. and are
passed along with the request that each
time they are used they shall be put into
an oven and baked before they are re-
turned. l have known one set Of toys

Doesn't baking them destroy their

She Was No Longer Sersitive AbouS
Her Large Feet
They were in St. Louis shoe store
the other day. says the Sunday Re
public. and this is what was overheard.
The speaker was an elegantly dressed
woman with smiling face. She was
a large woman and the shoe clerk was
looking for comfortable shoe fer her.
You know I have such long feet. =
she said to her friend. THE size of
ny feet was a great trial to me. The
children at home always teased me,
and often cried because they were so
ugly. At IA my feet were as large as
they are now.
AN cid neighbor of ours, who lived
on an adjoining farm. was something Of
wag. He was more of hunter than
farmer, and he often teased Us chill
dren. He would rather talk TO us than
to our elders.
Zone day he said to me: The cows
are glad when they see you walking
round, Molly
"'Why?' said I.
"'Because when they look at your
feet tkey know their hide win never

LINEN MAKERS.
Ireland and Holland Have the Most
Womea Engaged I'm This Work.

Women Engaged I'm This work.
Though Ireland to-day holds the first
place, so far as America is concerned, in
regard to linens, Holland occupied that
position everywhere in the past. and
holds it to-day inmany parts of Europe
says the Philadelphia Press. The very
word HoEand is employed to designate
a fine linen cloth or linen and Gotten
cloth. and has been used for this purpose
from time imInemorial- II IS both
glazed and unglazed, and used for wear
ing the household decoration. Flax
grows wei in that part OF Europe. ard
the sunlight is said to be brighter and
10 have more power in bleaching IN the
low countries than elsewhere The
linen industry is carried on in Holland
more by women than by men. In the
fields there are almost as many female
as male cultivatcrs- In the harvesting
there is al excess of women.
In the many processes, such as lining,
heckling ard spinning. the women out
numbered the men three to one. In the
mills the women are in the majority.
The men predominant when it comes
to the making Of dsnaslzs and fancy
designs. For at least four centuries it
,aas been an honored custom in the
Netherlands for young women to begin
making their marriage portion in linen
when mere girls. Some go so Tar as 10

begin with the spiruing. while these bet

cutting and sewing. A wedding outfit
consists of petticoats, night gowns ard
other underwear, several suits for sum
Eler wear. sheets, pillow cases, bolster
cases, pillow shams, shirts for the hus-
band-to-be and a number of rolls Of the
uncut material for the future emer-
geney or use. Nearly every girl of mar
riageable age has a stock of these goods
ranging from a trunkfuI to three or four
times that amount.

Opposing Armies Frequently Resort

Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says a Bloomingburg
(O) correspondent. and it is Just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos-
ing "armies" Of hunters. A rat hunt
has just been concluded here IN which
11,A55 rat tails were counted. and a
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought IN e,sO2 tails and the
other 1853 tails. It now leaks cut
that one Of the leaders OF the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held a rat hunt
1.496 tails, paying one cent each for
