GLOVE MANUFACTURER.

The art of glove making, once follow
ed exclusively by women, is now pur-
sued largely by men.
This is due chiefly to the introduction
of machinery, used to-day for sewing
and pressing the seams, and to improv-
ed means for drafting patterns which
were formerly of paper or wood. Then
the glover, laying his pattern on the
leather, would mark it in outline with
lead pencil and cut it out with shears
The glove, which was sewn by hand
and the seams pounded, then went
through the process of pressing. This
was done by placing it between two
boards on which the glove maker sat
while making another pair In the man.
ufacture of the modern glove the OPP
orator, having cut the leather, folds it
over so that the back is larger than the
front Then he makes three cuts
through the doubled pieces, so that it
may produce the back and front for the
four fingers. Next an avoid hole is cut
for the insertion of the thumb piece.
Before completing the work on the first
and fourth fingers, long strips, or gus
sets, are sewn on the inner side; but in
the second and third fingers gussets
are sewn on both sides. Afterwards
small diamond-shaped pieces are cut,
fitted, and sewn at the interdigital folds
or base of the fingers. The ornamental
embroidery Is then stitched on the back
the buttons or fasteners fitted, and the
wrists hemmed; then the glove is fin
ished. In sewing toothed wise or clamp
is used to regulate the size Of the stitch
es. Glove workers are divided into three
classes; Those who seam the fingers
and put in the thumb are called the
Makers those who hem the edges at
the wrist, welters; and those who en-
broider the back pointers. The average
earrings of all classes Is only two dol
lars day. In our own country no less
than 100000 are invested in the glove
industry, which first settled in Glovers-
vile, N. Y, in 1909. At this time the
skins used were those Of deer received
by traders in exchange for tin. Rough
mittens were the first product of this
settlement, and the first load of gloves
that went to Boston was forwarded in

MODERN NECROMANCY.

An Indian Conjuress Who Defies Pris-
ons and Is Man When She Wishes.
The conjuress whose liberality to the
gamins of Lucknow we noticed some
days ago has, says the Indian Daily
Telegraph, been distinguishing herself
again according to bazar CUP. Accord
ing to this, the lady in question has beea
performing more miracles, the most re-
markab,e feature of them being that
they are firmly believed by the people
who retail the story. 1t Is said that a
certain Bengalee being hard up, ap-
piled to her for money, and she at once
agreed to give him ten rupees IL he
could produce one. This he did, and
received ten from out Of the handful of
dust she hastily picked up from the
read. He placed the eleven rupees care
fully in his purse. but on reaching home
he found the entire eleven missing. A
corresponding accident occurred to
simple bearer, on whom she bestowed
five in addition to one rupee he pos
sessed. He wrapped the six carefully in
his LON Goth, but on reaching home
they were non est, which he considered
so dishonest that he Informed the police
that he had been swindled. The wo-
man was therefore arrested and hailed
before magistrate, (name not stately
who questioned her. She denied any
swindling or wish to swindle, and said
they might lock her up If they liked, but
that they could not keep her free spirit
Gagged. The magistrate suggested that,
any way, the experiment might be
tried; and she was, accordingly, locked
up in a cell at the far end of we'll
guarded corridor of cells, locality not
stated.)
The court went on with it's usual bust
ness, and the conjuress was forgotten
for moment. Then occurred a curious
thing--a sort of repetition, in Oriental
fashion, of the little jackdaw" business
in the "Jackdaw Of Rheims" A quail
came hopping into the court-room-a
very tame quail, that seemed not in the
least afraid of the big, naughty men
present, but which was running about
picking up imaginary grains here and
there. Suddenly the litigants, pleaders,
&C.. became conscious that the quail had
disappeared and that fine strapping
man stood where the quail had been a
moment before The court, noticing the
stranger, asked who he might be- and
received startling answer II am the
woman" said the man, whom you
locked up just now" How can that
be?" inquired the magistrate, when
you are a man." Nevertheless. I am
the woman" was the strange reply,
'and you may lock me up, too, If you
like" Upon this rush was made for
the woman's cell, and although 1t was
secured as tightly as bars, door and lock
could close 1t. 1t was tenantless After
that, the woman, or the man, or what
ever the combination called itself, was
allowed to go in peace. This tale. con-
cludes the Indian Daily Telegraph is
current just at present in the bazaar.
and shows what extraordinary stories
pass current in the bazaar.

The stock Market.


New York, Jan. 1.-THE changes in
stocks for the day were unimportant.
The market showed strength most Of
| the day and repeated efforts on the
part of the bears to depress prices, al
though assisted by sales of some $4,000
shares of stock for London account,
upward general until the last hour,
when previous gains of the day were
practically wiped out.
The highest prices Of the day were
made about noon, the standards show
ing handsome gains. Although there
had been such large volume of sales
from London, internationals at this
time were above last nights close. AT
the opening the market was under pres
sure. but the variations were fractional.
Commission houses had many selling
orders, but after few minutes the de-
mand more than equalled the supply.
Traders sold early, then bought, and
in the final dealings reversed their po-
sition by again selling. Several Of the
largest houses were openly large buyers
in the second hour.
When prices eased off in the late deal
ings commission house business dinin-
ished. The Readings were strong on a
story that the leading interests in the
coal trade purposed bringing about a
workable business arrangement between

THE EFFECT OF ANGER ON THE
EYES OF ANIMALS

Until comparatively lately there
seems to have been good deal of diff
ference Of opinion as to the action of
the pupil under the influence of emo
ton. About five years ago 7 had some
correspondence with Sir S. Wilkes, the
distinguished president of the Royal
College Of Physicians, upon this very
subject, and he informed me that after
long inquiry he had been unable to get
any trustworthy information as to how
the pupil behaved in the lower animals
when they were under the influence Of
emotion. The correspondence had been
called forth by my stating in an art-
Gle . that dogs pupils dilate
when he is angry. The evidence upon
which I based this statement was gath
cred at the house of a friend who had
fox terrier which used to become flu
rious when leased. 1t had basket In
the corner Of the room to which it re-
tired when offended. The light from the
chandelier shone full upon its face, and
l.
animal was especially angry. the eye
chambers reflected the light in the same
way as do those of a human being when
the pupils are diiated with atropin.
Having no quarrel with the animal my
self, l could approach him with safety
when others were exciting his wrath,
and found that on such occasions the
pupils of his eyes were widely open.
1t so happened that about the same
time Sir S. Wilkes had been making OBJ
servations upon parrots, and found that
the pupils contracted when the birds
were under the influence of anger. On
extending my observations to other an
imals, / found that cats and monkeys
exhibited the same popularity as the
dog when enraged and meditating mis-
chief, but that in several instances, as
soon as the creatures We're provoked be-
yond endurance and flew at their per-
secutors. the pupils suddenly contract
ed. I offered the following conjecture as
to the reason of this phenomenon:
When an animal is angry and face to
face with a foe, but has not made up
it's mind as to the most effective method
of attack, it is important that the eyes
should take in as much is possible of
the enemy and his surroundings; but
when the actual onslaught is made, the
attention of the assailant is fully con-
centrated upon some particular point of
his adversary's body-Louis Robinson
