PICKLED SHEEPSKINS.
\ Method of Preserving the Hides Which Gives Them Tanned
 Appearance.

| The discovery was made last summer | by customs officials in this city that certain pickled sheepskins previously
 admitted free of duty as raw skins
 were not really raw skins. These skins were imported in casks, done up in dozens, and while there was really no
 pickle in the casks the skins were damp.
 showing that they had been pickled.
 The skins were taken cut of the casks
 and hung up over night to dry. They
 were then exhibited to dealers and tan
 ners, who, from the appearance of the
 skins, pronounced them to be leather.
 It was ascertained that these skins had
 undergone a lengthy process of manu-
 facture, such as taking off superAuous
 flesh, putting in lime vats and handling for many days, taken to the beam
 house and worked or at some consider
 able expense, placed in several baths of bran-one skin split into two pieces
 on a machine for that Purpose-and
 finally picl1led to keep them until other tanners were ready to finish
 them into various kinds of leather in which they deal All this work,
 it was ascertained, advanced the skins to a point where they could actual Y be converted into various kinds of finished leather in few hours.
 Sheepsllins are. capable of being pickled fer preservation just as they come from the puller who takes off the wool, while the process of preparing for special tanning is not in any sense a process of preservation. Skins may be lsalted and dried just as they are taken from the backs of the animals, and they will keep any reasonable time. Many skins are merely dried in the sun, and will keep q long time. Such skins are considered ''raw skins" Years ago hundreds of thousands of sun-Gried sheepskins were shipped to PhiladeI- phia from Colorado or other then terri tories, and sometimes they remained unsold for many months wit hout in ne least changing their character. Such skins were always considered raw
 All the ports now place a duty on pickled manufactured skins and pickled skins not split, piqkled skins grain side splits and pickled skins flesh side splits. They are commercially known as ''roans" for the whole skin and splits of various kinds They are never bought and sold as ''raw skins.'' Some of the American pullers sell the skins just after the wool is taken off them, while others, pullers and tanners combined, work the skin up to the point of perfection that the trial skins represent. The skin after it is dried over night would deceive almost any leather dealer of 40 years standing, be- cause it is finished up to point where nothing is required but final finishing to suit various purposes.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

IMPROBABLE PARIS.
Now One of the Most Strongly Fortified
 Cities in the World.

The French have been taught wis dom by past experience, and as re- suit have planned, and a few years aga finished, a system of Notifications around Paris which are probably un- equaled, for the purposes for which they are intended, by any similar for ltifications in the wC1ld. A well in formed military writer, a member Of the general staff of the German army, has given it as his opinion that a sue ceSsful siege of Paris would be, under present conditions, an Impossible un- deItaking.
 The new Notifications that surround the French capital are some fifteen or twenty miles from the city and are connected with Paris and with one an other by a railway system which would enable the French commander to quickly mass at one point very large body of men, while the general of the beSL Leging army, if he wished to pre- vent the city from obtaining supplies, and thus shut in the people and the army that was defending it. would have to occupy a line extending more than one hundred miles, and hence could not by any possibility collect 9 large number of his force at any point to re- sist with even a shadow of hope an at tack of the enemy.
 It required 9 German army of, ap- proximately, 500 O00 meh to lay siege to Paris from September 19, 1870 to January 30, 1871, but the authority we refer to is of the opinion that to repeat the same operation a German besieging army would have to number more than 2,O0O.O00 men, and the work of maintaining such 8 force and prop erly handling its parts would be some thing which few governments would care to undertake and few military commanders would be able to efficiently perform.
 The French have spent upon these new fortifcations an amount variously estimated at from S30, ,00O, 900 to $50,- 900 ,000, and hence can well afford to sell the land occupied by some of the now obsolete Notifications Of years ago.-Pearson' Magazine

the assemblage at Jardine. After the
banquet was over the rooms were clear
ed and the guests formed for the grand
march. An orchestra of IL pieces fur
nished the music for the promenade,
and as the first strains of the march
sWelled forth the entire machinery of
the Revenue was set in gentle motion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Bush led the
march and to the dropping Of the
stamps the hosts of guests were con-
Quoted through every floor of the vast
structure, wandering about the various
rooms until the starting point was
again reached, when a quadriile was
formed. The remainder of the evening
was most pleasantly spent and the
breaking up of the assembly marked
the close of the greatest social event
ever held in Montana. 1t was a day to
be long remembered and looked back
upon in pleasant retrospect throughout
the lives of those who attended. Too
much credit cannot be given Mrs. Bush
for the able manner in which she con-
Quoted the arrangements and carried
out every plan, even to the smallest de-
tail. Nothing was lacking to make the
banquet all that 1t was intended to be,
and a remarkable foresight was exer-
cised by Mrs. Bush in experimenting
the affair. Those in attendance came
from various points on the Upper yell
lowstone. and in fact from all over
Montana. The men employed in the
properties of Mr. Bush were the guests
of honor and We're shown every at
tention throughout the progress of the
banquet. as were. indeed all those pres
ent. 1t was a great day for Jardine.
