All must feel in a measure grateful
TO the genius who first conceived the
idea Of utilizing the silver ornaments
OF wornost Poeketbooks and bags
with which to make picture frames.
Indeed, says the Mexican Herald,
many OF the pieces are really things
Of beauty, both in design and hand
modelling, and have been no small
item IN the original cost OF the card
case or pocketbook. II has always
been felt to be a pity to sell them for
old silver, when no little Ia realized,
and a made-over book Is expensive and
seldom thoroughly satisfactory. The

somehow doesn't seem TO 1t In well.
Then. after their first usefulness is
over, Ia the time 10 take them 10 n

Imagination can readily follow the
manner In which It Is done. Both Of

to Churches.

Electricity is put to various uses In
churches; in no other building, in fact,
is 1t more commonly employed, says
the Electrical Review. Besides It's use
for lighting purposes, electricity is
now commonly employed for running
o motor TO operate the organ bellows.
This motor can be set in motion or
stopped by the organist by the turn
ing OF a switch as he sits in ~ place
at the keyboard.
In the newer churches-and such ap-
planes have also been put into older
churcheS-the organ itself is provided
with electrical appliances by means
OF which the valves of the organ pipes
are opened. Formerly this was done
by means Of mechanical appliances
that were operated by the pressing
down of the key. Now each key is
connected by q wire with the valve
Of the pipe to which It belongs and
when q key is pressed down its wire
Is brought into contact with a supply
wire running along under the key
board, the circuit is closed and by
means of the power thus transmitted
along the wire from the key the valve
is opened
Chimes are played by electricity
from a keyboard like that OF a piano
or organ. at which the player sits with
the music before him. Chime playing
as formerly done BY the pressing down
Of levers, to which cords running to
the bells were attached, called for
very considerable exertion on the part
Of the player; now the heaviest as well

The skin is roughly trimmed into an
oval shape.
The Boer farmer then pulls out a
sharp knife, and from the outer edge
inward commences 10 cut the skin into
a circular strip Of about an inch and a
half in width.
As a rule a full-sized oxhide yields
one long continuous strip n and
one-half inches in width and seventy
yards in length. A second hide is thus
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 It the tighter it becomes.
The whole length Of l40 yards Of raw
hide ribbon Is then stretched TO its full

It is looped up in a huge hank, which is
