CHINESE LEATHER.

The process by which the Chinese
leather acquires its peculiar character
istics is described as follows: The skins
are put into tubs containing water,
saltpeter and salt, and after thirty
days are taken out, the hair is shaved
off and the skins well washed in spring
water: each hide is then cut up into
three pieces and we'll steamed, which
is done by passing them several times
backward and forward over steam
ing oven. Further, each piece is
stretched out separately over fiat
board and secured with nails, so as to
dry gradually and thoroughly in the
sun. The smoke of the oven makes the
leather black, and if it is desired to
have it OF a yellow appearance it is
rubbed over with water in which the
fruit of the so-called wongchee tree has
been soaked. OF the offal, glue is made
by heating it in pans for twelve hours
over a slow fire, and the glue so OBJ
tanned is poured into rough, earthen
vessels, where it remains three days,
in order to coagulate; the solid mass
is cut into pieces with sharp knives
and carefully laid upon grating-like
trays to dry-the time taken in drying
varying from five days. with a north
west wind, to thirty or forty days with
southwest.-Boston Transcript.

INFLUENZA CAUSED BY OZONE.

On one occasion the writer walked to
the edge of Lake Michigan when a
strong wind was blowing right from
the lake. The bodily condition was as
near perfect as could be, and yet in less
than five minutes there was every evil
dence of having caught an extremely
hard cold. The severe influenza con-
tinued until, on walking away, in less
than 500 feet, it disappeared as if by
magic. 1t is very certain that the tenn
perature had nothing to do with this,
nor the wind; but the influenza was di-
rectly due to the abundant ozone in
the air. BY inquiry it was learned that
hundreds of residents who had lived
upon the immediate edge of the lake
had been obliged to move back three
or four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences. Phys
icIans readily admit that it is not al
ways possible to say why one catches"
cold; it certainly cannot always be be-
cause of undue exposure or change in
temperature, but probably also TO
changes in the electric condition of the
air. Facts of this kind should lead to
the EXTREMIST caution in studying any
supposed relation between the weather
and health.-Popular Science.

GLADSTONE AND THE BoERs.

1t is not forgotten by the closer STU
dents of recent English history that
Mr.. Gladstone's connection with the af-
| fairs of the Transvaal did not begin
with the struggle that eliminated at
Majuba Hill. He had a policy of his
own for dealing with the difficulty there
full forty years before that untoward
event. and in its essence. and even IN
one of its details. it furnished a strik
ing precedent for the policy enunciated
in the present crisis by Mr.. Chamber
lain. In the summer of 1883 Mr.. Glad
stone called the affection of the house
of commons to a petition he had him
self presented from the inhabitants of
Albany, frontier post of the Cape,
who complained that faith had not
been kept with them by the home gov
eminent, which had promised them
protection and support, but had left
them to suffer loss from a barbarous
enemy The young stateman pointed
out how such n feeling of insecurity eX-
listed that many of the colonists, and
particularly the Beers, had been caused
to emigrate. and that these Beers, dis
heartened by their misfortunes, had
withdrawn into the desert, and placed
themselves Deyond tne pale OF society
He showed how the representations of
the colonists had been neglected and
their interests sacrificed by the home
government, and he moved an address
for a commission to investigate the
whole affair on the spot. It was only
by nine votes in thin house that he
was beaten in his endeavor. Had vic
tory then lain with him. the history of
the Transvaal would have had to be
differently written; but In his desire, as
a consequence of a petition to this
country. to remedy the grievances of
our fellows in South Africa, after in
quiry by commission on the spot, he
strikingly anticipated the governments

RAILROADS IN ASIA.

The lines of railway now existing in
Asia form a total length of about 10000
miles, of which two-thirds belong to
British India The portions Of the
Transcaspian and Transsiberian rail-
ways already constructed represent a
length of 5000 miles. In China a num-
Der of European syndicates have OBJ
tanned concessions for $500 miles of
railroad, which will traverse regions
which are rich in mineral and Vege-
table products; these lines are for the
most part in course of construction.
The Chinese government has about eco
miles of railway, these lines being very
productive, especially that from Pc
king to Tientsin. Japan is well pro-
vided with railway communication,
having 5000 miles. French Indo-China
has at present but 12O miles, but
French possessions in Cochin China,
AMMAN and Tonkin will shortly have
2,4G0 miles, which will develop the min
eral and agricultural resources of these
countries. The Dutch Indies are we'll
provided, Java alone having 1000 miles.
In British India the greatest length is
to be found; here there are 81 900 miles
of railway. AS to Persia, there are
as yet no railroads of any consequence,
but Turkey. in Asia possesses 1900
miles, and GOO miles are in construction

lively few years ago. In indicating
the advances that have been made he
is careful to state that whatever we
may say of outworn methods. they
were not without their successes" But
it is in its present development. that
the university must be judged. Ad-
hitting that the American college of
the past was but a feeble copy of the
colleges of England" he says that the
American university of today draws
it's inspiration from the deeper currents
of German scholarship, and from the
still stronger currents of American ac-
ton

President Jordans mind, is the intensi-
flying of individual force and effort
The purpose of the university has SIM
ply broadened. year by year, till it

and conscience TIE old education,
he remarks Seemed to accentuate the
inequalities among men, To the uni
versity of today he looks for the pro-
motion of true democracy. 1t is alert,
he says. to all the problems of social
and political development. Its aim is
to send forth men of power" There
are just as many classical scholars to-
day as there ever were, but they no
longer bar the way to men of other
powers, and other tastes" For each
man his own market, says President
Jordan, controlled by his own stand
ards. He would have the university
see that all standards are honest, that
all work is genuine
To wisdom, virtue and religion the
never be Indifferent What it can do
is .'along many lines" He does not
think it can promote virtue and piety
in any machine fashion. 1T may win by
inspiration, and not by fear" The
highest force of the university he con-
siders to lie in it's moral training. His
tone in speaking of the moral training
that is given. is hopeful and confident
President Jordan believes that the
growth of American universities, the
past twenty-five years, indicates their
growth, the next twenty-five. He says
in conclusion:
They have the confidence of the peo-
pie because they deserve its confidence.
and the good citizens of the republic
must give them trust and support. In

AMERICAN University. marked by
UNIVERSITY an earnestness of con-
yiction and force of ex-
preston that make it a noteworthy con-
tribution to the literature dealing with
educational development. 1t is called
an apology for the American Univer-
sity, and its author gives as the reason
for its being written the question raised
now and then by some successful bust
ness man as to the right Of existence
of the university of today in this coun-
try. Does higher education pay?'' he
asks. Says President Jordan: And
from his own experience of tireless en-
ergy, and from his own contact with
thin-legged, white-faced collegians
seeking job, he (the business MANI
gives to his question a qualified mega
tive. He further claims, should he care
to pursue the subject at greater length,
that opportunities for higher education
are too widely diffused, and that the
American masses are victims of over
education"
The first point made by President
Jordan is that to speak of 'over-edu-
cation" is a misuse of terms. Surely"
he says, no one can claim that the
American people are too wise, too skill
full, or too enlightened for their own
good" He thinks that what these
critics usually mean to attack is mis-
fit education, rather than the acquisi-
tion of power to think and act, and
his argument is then directed to show
that such critics misinterpret the spirit
that actuates the American university.
The ideal of the American university of
today he would express in the words,
constructive individuality and in the
efforts to attain this ideal he believes
that the university has ample excuse
for being.

that Wilson is making concerning his

RAISING a sUNKEN ENGINE.

A rather remarkable railroad acct
dent occurred on the lands of the Nj
agara Falls Power company at Mag
ara Falls on August II, when a loco
motive under full steam and seven cars
plunged into the river from a dock The
terminal railroad on the Power COM
pany's lands is known as the Niagara
Junction railway and it was on this
line that the accident occurred. At the
time the locomotive and train were
running fast in order to surmount a
heavy grade. An open switch allowed
the train to run on the dock siding and
as the locomotive was not equipped
with air brakes and the brakes the
train did have would not hold. the To-
connective slid along the tracks and
plunged into the river, followed by the
cars. The locomotive disappeared from
sight beneath the water. but portions
of the cars remained in sight. To re-
cover the locomotive it was necessary
to secure the aid of one of the New
York Centrars wrecking crews and
their powerful steam derrick. Chains
We're placed about the sunken engine
and the derrick force applied. Slowly
the monster machine on the dock rails
ed the wrecked locomotive and then
swung it around on the track. The re-
covery of the locomotive was a spec
tacle of great interest.-New York

CHRISTMAS WISH.

I wish that good old Santa
Would travel like a show,
And to his tent of playthings
For nothing let me go;
And taking along my stockings,
To fill in laughing glee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs on the Christmas tree.
I'd see the pasteboard camel
Wink at the kangaroo;
I'd see the china wombat
And quaga chase the gnu;
I'd see the rubber ostrich
Serenely wink his eye
To see the monkey capture
The peanut on the fly.
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books of rhymes:
I'd grab him by the whiskers
And kiss him fifty times,
And on his back go riding
Beneath the fairy dome,
And with a lot of playthings
Go running gayly home.
It's then j think old santa
Should up and go away,
And in the other village
Put up his tent next day;
And then go on still further,
And further still and still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stockings fill.
'Twould then be always Christmas
All musical with joy,
And bending tree and turkey
And hobby-horse and toy;
For while upon his travels
Old Santa'd scatter cheer;
He'd make a Christmas somewhere
Each day throughout the year.

which says that President Mckinley,
mindful of the criticisms that were
passed upon the Harrison and previous
administrations, is determined that no

that Mckinley will be renominated it
follows that his wishes in this partic-
