Swedish groom found it desirable In
fact, to have several best men. to do.
fend him from the assaults OF rivals
and prevent them from carrying away
his bride. The Scandinavian war.
rior of ancient times was far too lofty
in his ideas to condescend To plead for
maiden's hand. So he patleptlv
waited until some other man who
was more gallant had obtained the
fair ones consent. Then when an
the details had been nicely arranged
the proud warrior, with a body OF
welltrained retainers, dashed down
on the wedding party. and Il strong
enough, carried away the bride. The
best men (and it WIS very essential
that they should be the best men in
those days., therefore, became neces-
Sary fixtures to the marriage cere
mony, and they were so well esteemed
and their popularity became so per-
mauent that when the reason for their
existence was removed they were still
retained. Hence. the custom is pre-
served in the best man of today"

GLOVE MAKING ANIMALS.

Among the more popular materials
used in modern gloye-making are kid
lamb, buck. doe and dog skins The
kids are specially reared for the use
of their hides They are all kept In
pens, and thus are prevented from In
jurying their skins against hedges
palings or rocks They are fed only
with milk, so as TO preserve the quail
itv of the hide which becomes very
delicate. and naturally, more valu-
able. Al one time Senator Mackay,
OF Nevada. conceived the idea of buy
ing up all the goats in the world, so
as to obtain a monopoly Of kid
leather, but the scheme did not flour
ish. Following closely upon this was
"a plan projected by several French
capitalists to catch all the rats IN
Chicago and establish preserve
which would supply the French glove
makers with ratskius to be converted
into kid gloves. Woman Home

STARTLING DISCLOSURES.

Admirals and captains are brave
enough, and keen tacticians, no doubt
but the best part of the Spanish fleet
would have slipped through some
body's fingers that Sunday morning
at Santiago II Americas lighting en-
gineers had not, by the hardest 0,
work, overcome the obstacles imposed
upon them by orders from the bridge
If the fighting had been against men
more nearly kin--say English or Ger
man-under conditions identical with
those off Santiago on the morning OF
July 3, some American hulks might
now be rusting at the bottom of tropic
seas, For engines were uncoupled
and many fires out, and steam so low
that all the energy OF the stokers was
required to get up again. The Ameri.
can ships had been off the coast for
weeks, waiting for the enemy to come
out When the enemy came out, the
American ships were ready to shoot.
but not to give chase. This was no
fault of the engineers 1t was the re
suit of a condition peculiar to naval
practice. In the navy the ships
captain decides how many boilers
shall be used, how much coal shall be
burned, what pressure shall be car
ried. And the American captains
at Santiago had everything in readl-
ness, except their boilers and en-
gines. There were two exceptions,

SUEZ CANAL AND PESSIMISTS.

1t is shown that from an engineer
ing point of view the Suez Canal was
impossible. while frorh a commercial
point OF view it was proved, up to the
hilt, that, even if the canal could be
made, it would, so far as traffic went
be failure as melancholy to the
philanthropist as it would be disast-
rous to the investor. The great
authorities who spoke with so much
assurance are all dead, and II is well
for their comfort that they are. In
1869 traffic between the west and the
east via the Cape of Good Hope was
about 3,500,0 900 tons. In 1897 the traf-
fl" through the Sue2 canal was 1898,
ISL tons, while that round the Cape
OF Good nope was at least $3.50, 80
tons. Ia other words one direct re-
suit of the construction of the Suez
canal has been that in twenty-eight
years the commerce OF the world has
been increased 100000 tons annually
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
return to the investor who risked
his money In what seemed TO so many
to be a bare-brained project has been
to say the least of It, of fairly salts

Disappearance Of Metals.

The greater portion OF the lead pro
d1ced is converted into white lead, red
lead and orange materials which are Used
as pigments for paints. Lead is also ex-
tensiyeIy manufactured into sheet, std
bullets and other projectiles The only
scrap lead that comes back into the mar.
Eet is that used for lead pipes.
Z'nc lie largely used in gslvanIzing
steel or iron, in manufacturing brass, as
a sheet zinc, and as oxide OF zinc used IN
paint The only zinc available for the
new use is that ussd in making brass
Scrap brass 10, next to scrap iron and
steel, most abundant on the market.
Most Of the worlds product is used In
I'm plate The scrap is not svaila ble,
and though many efforts have been made
to utilize it, no cont iderable amount OF
tn has been obtained this way.
Next TO iron and steel. copper is most
used in metallic form, only a small pro
portion being used in the salts Of copper
and blue vitriol. The greatest uses Of
copper are in the manufacturing of brass,
Of which it iorns two-ibirds, in electrical
conductors, sheet roofns, cooking uten
sls and pipes.
Just what becomes Of the enormous
amount Of metal mined every year Is
mystery, as a very small propoitio Is
returned in the form OF scrap MATERIAL
