DE ARGOS INSULTED.
Unfortunate Action of the Mayor of
Chicago Brings Rebuke.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Mayor Harrison
today received from Duke de ARGOS, the
Spanish Minister at Washington, the
following reply to an invitation to at
tend the Dewey celebration in Chicago:
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Sir: re-
turn to you here inclosed an invitation
from the city of Chicago for the cele-
bration of the second anniversary Of
the battle of Manila, which / take for
granted has been sent to me by mis-
take, as it is the first discourtesy have
met with since l am in the United
States.
1T is impossible for me to believe
that you have advisedly asked me, the
representative of Spain, to go to your
city and rejoice with you on the de-
struction of the Spanish ships and on
the death of SO many brave sailors
my compatriots. That would have been
simply an insult, and as | do not de-
serve it and 1t cannot have been your
intention, am perfectly sure, as | say
that all this is the result of an error.
In reply Mayor Harrison has written
the Minister, explaining that the invi-
tation was sent through the careless
ness or ignorance of clerk and extend
ing sincere apologies for the uninten-
tional dlscourtesy.

One of the strangest things which
strikes the eye on a casual visit to a
Boer farm is curious structure. not
far from the homestead. standing UP
against the skyline like gigantic
gallows. says the London Mail. There
is stout, roughly hewn tree plant
ed fair and square in the ground.
From this is crossbeam. in the CEN

rectly underneath this, on the ground.
is huge square stone about eighteen
inches to two feet in height But it
Is not gallows. 1t Is simply the
farm "briepaal," or braylng poles.
whereon the oxhides are treated and
turned into those remarkably service
able 'reims" or strips Of leather thong.
which form an indispensable staple Of
the outfit of every South African OK
wagon. This is the method of prepar-
ing the "reims." After the dead oxen
have been skinned the pelts are spread
on the bare ground and allowed to dry
with the under side uppermost to the
scorching hot sun. After some days
preparation of this kind they are
brought by the Kafir "boys" to the
braying poles. Having been soaked
In water, or preferably brine and
water. for some little while. and the
hair being still on them. the pelts are
somewhat limp and extraordinarily
elastic. The skin is roughly trimmed
into an oval shape.
The Boer then pulls out sharp
knife, and from the outward edge in
ward commences to cut the skin into
circular strip OF about an inch and
half in width.
AS a rule a full-sized oxhide yields
one long continuous strip one and one
half inches in width and seventy yards
In length. A second hide is treated in
exactly the same way, and the two
ends are knotted together with the
particular form of knot known to
sailors, which the more you pull the
tighter 1t becomes.
The whole length of 14O yards of raw
hide ribbon is then stretched to its
fullest length. When 1t is fully
stretched 1t ia looped into a large
hank, which Is of the greatest weight.
