The red-hot knife instantly mows down
the wool, and the speed at which the
work can be done is governed by the
dizziness Of the operator. The heat need
not affect either the skin or the wool,
provided that the knife is properly
manipulated. With few hours prac-
tice, it is estimated, girl can dewoOl
from eight to a dozen skins per hour,
and the cost of the current should be
not greater than one cent for Is hours
work. The advantages of the system
are that the wool need not be injured
by lime, chemicals or other deleterious
influences, and the mere singing of the
end of each fiber is imperceptible. 1t is
claimed that the skin, which presum-
ably has been sun dried in Australia or
South America, Immediately after the
slaughtering of the sheep, is in more
perfect condition for the purposes OF
the tanner. The estimate of the cost of
such operations shows the great econ

GENERAL NIassacre of JeMs Planned.

RENNEs, Aug. lit Is evident that
there have been importations from
Paris of the worst class of anti Drey-
tusites They have come by every
train, and they are not here for their
health. The police have taken action.
Orders Wednesday night were that
three drumbeats shall be a signal to
fire. Drums are now with every COM
mand in the city.
AS nearly as can be aecertained, the
plan of the arriving mob is for a gen.
eral massacre of the Jews near the an
niversary of ST. Bartholomew. 1t is
claimed that the regular inhabitants
of this town are in thorough sympathy
with the malcontents but this is not
certain.

BARGAINS IN ToMBsToNEs.
Business Adopted Near
City Cemetery.

The approaches to all the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where headpieces may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment On the
part of the survivors, Tombstones are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience in
making prompt deliveries. The de-
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual OBJ
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
of supplying them.
1t is the more surprising, therefore,

American HumOr.

Here is one of the bits of American
llumor" that pleased the wOmen's con-
gress in London. An English paper
saws: "Women still talk about their
children; they used to discuss their all
ments; they now discuss their educa-
ton, and in theory they are magnificent
in their methods. At the recent con-
gress an American delegate listened
with great gravity to theories on child
ish culture, and then made a real hit
by remarking in an inimitable Ameri-
can manner: We'll, it seems to me that
YOU ladies will have our children in spec
tacles before they have any teeth!"

REMOVING WOOL FROM SKINS.
An Electrically Heated BLADE Does
the Work with Neatness
and Dispatch.

1t has always been problem how to
get the wool off the skins OF the many
millions of sheep which are annually
slaughtered in Australia, South Amer
lea and on the cop-inent of Europe. An
electrical apparatus for the purpose has
been patented, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. The invention, the first
idea OF which is said to have been
struck by lady, consists of an electric
cautery or fleshing knife, by which the
wool may be shorn from the skin rapid
ly and without injury either to the wool
or the pelt. The knife has a very short
and very wide blade, which is fitted on
a handle electrically connected. TO re-
move the wool the cautery is simply
pushed along the surface of the skin.
