was unhurt, but trembled in every limb
from fear and great exertion.
From between two boulders he peeped
out and saw, amid the bodies OF men
and horses that Uttered the plain, a
wounded man crawling on his hands
and knees, amid a spatter OF bullets
that were kicking puffs OF dust from
the dry earth all around him.
1t was his captain.
.sWhite Feather" watched him for a
moment: then he saw him stop ana lie
down on his face despairingly. He
could crawl no more.
II will. for her sake," he murmured
between his clenched teeth. and rising
from the shelter of the rock he faced
the hail of death that pattered 10 the
earth around him.
AS he walked into the open faint
cheer reached his ears from the British
troops half a mile behind him. The
ROYAL Artillery backed him with a
shrieking flight OF shrapel. which
whistled for a moment overhead, then
burst over the Boer lines a quarter OF
a mile away in shower or bullets
that for moment quelled the STORM

He reached the wounded man. lifted
him on his back. and returned step by
step TO where trumpeter Piper lay
hidden.
The trumpeter gave him a RANT
"Bravo." as he staggered and fell with
his burden into the kindly shelter OF
the rock.
That was white Feathers" reward.

QUESTION or AGE.

Experienced enumerators have found
that the tendency Of people is to repre-
sent themselves younger than they ac-
tually are. This impulse seems to be ir-
resistible between the ages of twenty
five and sixty. The greatest proportion
of errors is at the sixtieth year. but
the greatest number is at thirtieth year
or fortieth year At this fatal Rubicon
people usually falter In 1890 there were
6lS, Gal persons reported as thirty nine
years of age. 1887 1886 as forty. and 1885,
S53 persons at forty-one Among wom-
en- SCOTIA were reported to be forty,
290.977 thirty nine. and 224,551 forty,
says the Chicago Record.
With fairly sreaGy flow of immi-
grafton and a stationary or increasing
population there ought always to be
fewer persons of a given age than Of
any single age preceding; less people
fifty years old than forty nine. and so
on. But census age tables invariably
show the reverse. At the last census
240, $50 persons were returned as fifty
nine years old. while the number re-
turned at sixty was 502. .7sS.
Where immigration is slight the per-
sons of a given age at one census must
necessarily be less than the persons ten
years younger at the preceding census.
Thus in 1890 the persons twenty-five
years old are necessarily fewer in num-
Der than the persons fifteen years old
in 1880. because the twenty-five-year
class OF 1890 is composed OF the survi-
vors of the fifteen-year-clas in $780,
These are facts. but Englishwomen are
not abashed by facts. In England the
number of women returning themselves
as between twenty and twenty-five years
OF age Is always greater than the num-
ber of girls reported at the preceding
census from ten to fifteen years old,
and yet people can't be born twenty
wears old.

LEATHER FROM FISH SKIN.

The United States Fish Commission
recently has been getting together a
collection OF feathers made from the
skins of fishes and other aquatic ami
mails. 1t is not only of interest to the
curiosity seeker, but Il is intended to
have a very practical value, showing
incidentally what may be done with
the outer coats of many creatures
whose hides are commonly esteemed
worthless. Already the worlds supply
OF leather derived from land animals
does not equal the demand. so that the
utmost efforts are being made TO dis
cover or manufacture some sort OF
available substitute, but hitherto no.
body seems to have thought of utiliz-
ing the material afforded by creatures
that live in the water, says the Balti-
more American.
Several kinds OF fishes have skins
that make excellent leather for some
purposes. For example, salmon hide
serves so well in this way that the Es-
kimos OF Alaska make waterproof
shirts and boots out OF it-in fact, even
whole suits OF clothes. They also cut
Jackets out of Goldfish skins. which are
very serviceable garments. Already
frogskins are coming into use Tor the
mounting of books, where an unexcep-
tionally delicate material for fine bind
ings Is required.
Whaleskin would make an admirable
leather for some purposes, and IL is
shame to tn, nix of the countless thou
sands of hides of these cetaceans that
have been thrown away since the fish,
cry for them began. Porpoise leather Is
even now employed for razor strops,
being considered a very superior mate
rial. Seal leather dyed in a number OF
different colors is included in the Fish
Commissioners collection.
Ha.r seals are still enormously plen-
tiful in the North Atlantic and other
seas, and IL is not difficult to kill them.
so that they afford a very promising
leather has come into the market re-
Gently, but IL will hardly amount 10
much commercially, inasmuch as the
animals are being rapidly extermin-
ated.
Another kind OF leather now coming
into the market Is that of the sea ele-
phant. Up TO within a few years ago
species OF sea elephant was found on
the Pacific coast ranging as far north
as Lower California. but il has been
completely exterminated. A related
species occurs In Antarctic seas. chief
" on Kerguelen Island. and II was
driven likewise almost 10 the point OF
determination a dozen years back. So
few OF them were left that II became
Improbable to go after them, and so
they had a chance to increase in num-
bers.
