LEATHER COATS.

Made of sheepskin, Horsehide and
Dogskin-ServiceabI and Warm.
Leather coats are made of sheepskin,
of horsehide and 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 sheepskin are usually finished black.
the horsehide and dogskin coats russell
colored. A leather coat of sheepskin.
corduroy-lined, costs about five dollars;
horsehide coats sell for SIP to SIS, and
dogskin coats for SIS.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by truckmen and policemen and hunt
ers and lumbermen. The leather coat
is serviceable and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying, per-
haps, for hours in a 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.
A leather coat is sometimes worn I'M
der another coat for the sake of its
warmth, as. perhaps, by policeman.
And the leather coat may be worn with
the corduroy side out, so that more
leather coats are worn here in cities
than might be supposed.

HOW TO PRINT a BOOK.
Cannot BE Taught I'm an Essay or a
Volume.

How properly TO plan or print book
is not to be taught in an essay or even
in volume. AS well try to give a
formula for the painting of picture or
the writing of a poem. SAYS the Outlook.
1t must be presupposed that the planner
of new book is familiar with we'll
printed books, that he has some knowl-
edge of the processes of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts.
Refusal to seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an extensively H.
Illustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the full-page illus
trations TO be printed in an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard of an
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little Tor
the illustrations. The binder had to cut
of the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print 10 single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
unworkmanlike method. So treated.
The book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time, wasted paper, increased cost
and bad workmanship could have been
avoided if the author had formed plan
and counseled with an expert.

RAT HUNTS IN OHIO.
Opposing Armies Frequently Resort
to Trfckery.


to Trfckery.
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
11,455 rat tails were counted, and a
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6.s02 tails and the
other 1853 tails. 1t now leaks out
that one of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held rat hunt
1.4s6 tails. paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
a cent for 4S6 of them, the tails cost
ing more than s12. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased a man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11.455 tails were counted
out here a man was present from
Plain City and offered to give SOS cash
for 1900 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he was not allowed 10 take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts.

WHY THE COWS LIKED TO LOOK.

Her Large Feet.


Her Large Feet.
They were in a 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 for her
you know 1 have such long feet"
she said to her friend. THE size of
my feet was great trial TO me. The
children at home always teased me,
and often cried because they were so
ugly. At Il my feet were as large as
they are now.
"An old neighbor of ours, who lived
on an adjoining farm, was something of

farmer, and he often leased US chill
dren. He would rather talk to US than
to our elders.

feet they know their hide will never

POWER OF THE MARseILLAisE.

Nothing of the kind in this world can

which an audience of 5000 French radi-

Marseillaise," says Col. 7. W. Higgin-
son, in the Atlantic. observed that the
chorus of young men who led the sing
ing never once looked al the notes, and
few even had any. so familiar was it to
all. There was perfect hush in that
vast audience while the softer parts
were sung; and nc one joined even in
the chorus at first, for everybody was
listening. The instant, however, that
strain closed, the applause broke like
tropical storm, and the c,apping of
hands was like the taking flight of
thousand doves all over the vast arena.
Behind those twinkling hands the light
dresses of the ladies and the blue
blouses of workingmen seemed them
selves to simmer in the air; there was
no coarse noise of pounding on the
floor or drumming on the seats. but
there was a vast cry of "Bisl Bisl" sent
up from the whole multitude, demand
ing a repetition. The moment the first
verse was sung through for the second
time, several thousand voices Joined in
the chorus; then the applause was re-
doubled, as if they had gathered new
sympathy from one another; after
which there was still one more great ap-
plauding gust, and then an absolute
quiet.

SYMPTOMS OF BUCK FEVER.
a MichIgan's Mas E'irSt Experience
with a Deer.


A Marquette citizen tells the Mar
quette Mining Journal his experience
with "buck fever" he had never tried
20 shoot deer, and hunting them was
new to him. After spending few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down or a log to rest for a
short time. Now, like most hunters, ne
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
Filling the pipe. he smoked for time
without interruption, when, happening
to turn his head little to one side, he
saw large buck coming straight
toward him. AS luck would have il,
he had sat down to smoke near a deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While the hunter was watching the APP
proach of the deer he forgot that he had
gun, and that the deer was his .'meat."
He began to tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and it was a difficult
matter for him TO restrain a yell of
fright. He watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then. feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that it
lay on the ground near his feet. BY
the time he had picked ii up the deer
was out of range. and then he discov-
cred that in bis excitement be had bit
ten the mouthpiece of his pipe in two.
He was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on. as il seemed to him that be was
the game and the deer the hunter.

COLD IN THE kLoNDIKE.
Freeze the FLAMES of Candles and
Sell Them for Strawberries.


According TO the Alaska Miner. a
gentleman who has just escaped from
the Klondike region gives the following
account of some things That happened
there: "a man told me who had win
tered up there seven years that it was 50
cold in January that they froze the
flames of their candles and sold them
for strawberries. He said they ke-
their. fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze.
and then thawed them out in the NOR
ing. He said he had seen four men &c
of collie from eating whisky that w
frozen so hard il wouldn't thaw insice
of them. He said the cows all gave ics
cream till they froze TO death. He sail
be knew clerk in hotel on the yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing ca
earth but ice crystals that didn't THAI
till after the clerk had got out of the
country. He said he had seen man
fall off the roof of a barn and freeze s.
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in chimney til the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew Of ore
case where the smoke froze after Il
got a hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking hole in the TO
big enough TO drive yoke Of steers
through He said the reason that
nights were SO long in that country
was that the dark got frozen so hars,
the daylight couldn't thaw its way
through in less than six months"
