Tanning Skins With Hair.

Some weeks ago a subscriber asked
how to tan the skin Of horse with the
hair on. We give recipe that may
be used in tanning skins of any kind
with the hair, wool or fir on, as the
case may be. The man who first dis
covered this process made fortune
selling the process, and it should be
preserved. as by it sheep skins may be
made into beautiful rugs and dog or
calf skins may be tanned for robes or
rugs. The method is as follows: While
the skin is fresh powder the flesh side
with mixture of salt two parts, alum
and saltpeter each one part, and roll
tightly, letting it lie until the mixture
is thoroughly dissolved. This mixture
should be we'll pulverised before APP.
piled. Then stretch the hide on a
board and scrape off all flesh or mem
brane that may adhere to it. Then
dry in the sun and cover with meats
foot oil, after which it should be laid
away for few days. Next scrape it
as clean as possible with piece of
wood and apply Spanish whiting
which has been heated IN an oven
until it is hot, rubbing it with flannel
cloth. The skin is now ready for use
and if at all stiff may be rubbed and
worked soft with but little trouble.

Why BRYAN VIII Win.

New York, June 2f.--Mayor Carter

is attracting votes to him, while
Mckinley repels them. Throughout

"Another thing that has operated to

problem is the most important consid-

ALL THE YEAR ROUND,
Popularity Gauged by no Particular
Season

The fact is now established that the
most successful railway route, whether
you take it in the spring, summer,
autumn or winter, is the Rio Grande
Western Railway, the only transcon-
tinental line passing directly through
Salt Lake City, that quaint and pic
turesque city on the shores OF Amer
sca's Dead Sea. The climate OF Utah
and Colorado is temperate the year
round, which makes the travel over
the Rio Grande Western Ry., in con

an unbounded success and delight.

Chronic Office Seekers.

II there is anything that makes a
citizen tired it is to hear some one say
OF an Office seeker "He has talked and
worked for the party. He ought to
have something. He needs it." OF
course he needs it, says an exchange !;
everybody needs all he can get, but is
he competent? Has he been straight
ADD square, Or is he crooked and
tricky? May the best man always
win. No political party owes any man
in it anything. If men stay in a
party for pelf they ought TO be defeated
every time they ask for office. Men
should vote and work for party be-
canse they believe it is the best party.
The party hangers on--the followers
who are always edging up to the pie
counter--can be spared If Office is all
that ties them to their party. II they
have no sense OF decency--if they
never learn to quit aspiring for place
they do their party more harm than
good. They are a source of weakness
and trouble. Every political party has
ignored more worthy men and fed and
bolstered up more unworthy ones than
it ought 10. 1t is all ways wise to rec.
ognize the most deserving and turn
aside for the place hunters. Their
methods have often been crying dis
grace and defeat is better than success
with their help. Men of all sorts of
pol teal beliefs ought to realize the
principal involved in elections and Sc
lect the best one of their number to
represent them regardless of whether
or not "he needs it." To need thing
is no special recommendation at ALEX.
The above is worthy the perusal of
all such who are continually seeking
to feed at the public crib.

Valuable Information.

The American people can gather
much valuable information concerning
home politics if they will study the
comments OF the Spanish press. 1t is
of interest to observe, for instance, that
according to the Madrid impartial, ait
is reported that President Mckinley
will be forced to resign next fall' and
that General Shafter, the military
autocrat who ruled Cuba, will be his
successor" The Impartial adds. at
is known that the two men are enemies,
and recently had public quarrel in
the Senate, where President Mckinley
was presid ng, which was prevented
from becoming national affair only by
interference Of Colonel Bryan, Cover
or OF the province OF Boston. Not all
of the American people approve of the
high-handed rule of Mckinley in the
islands, and revolution may result if
he does not abdicate, as the freedom
party is strong and determined and is
gathering arms in large quantities
near New York and Florida, to march
on Washington the site Of the palace on
the Mississippi from which Mckinley
issues his edicts." Thare is nothing
like going away from home to get news.

A NEW TELEPHONE.
Secrecy of Communication With Sew
eral Stations on One Wire

| When the telephone was first intro
duced, twenty years or more ago. il
| was customary to put several subscrib-
ers on one line, instead of giving each
| a separate wire. 'Hhe old usage is still
Kept up to limited extent. where a
low rental is desired and where pri-
vacy is not demanded. Under this sys-
| TEN. when one call bell on the line
| rings they all ring. Thus ii is possible
| for people to overhear converse tions
| not intended for them, if their curios-
| ity impels them to take down their
| phones
number Of inventors have sought
to devise methods whereby greater
| privacy might be secured when a num-
| Der of persons are served by a single
wire. None of these appear to have
| come into general use, although some
| of them have proved practicable on
| trial For instance, a simple apparatus
| has been invented which keeps every
call bell from responding to any but
its own number. Three short rings
will cause No. SIS bell to ring. but
| neither No. nor No. 4 will receive any
indication of a call The beauty of this
plan is that nobody knows when to at
tempt to oyerhear.
A somewhat different method has
been invented by a Frenchman named
Dardeau. 1t is being tried at the Paris
exposition this year on the electric
railway and moving sidewalk. In or
der to facilitate the movements Of
Workmen when repairs are required
several stations on these two trans
portation lines are connected with the
power house. shops and offices. This is
the first time that the Dardeau system
has been installed for public service.
The principal features of the plan are
as follows:
There is only one wire. Any one sta
tion-B. for eXample-may call up any
other stati0n-F. for eXample-withOut

When r and F are in communication
all other stations are warned by a visi-
BILE signal. but not by an audible one,
that the line is in use. The signal dis
appears when the conversation is end
ed. In the meantime it is impossible
for a. q. D or f to overhear. How
ever. it is provided that in emergencies
any station can indicate to one Of the
speaking stations that special need

an additional attachment it is made
possible for one station TO communicate
with several of the other simultaneous

1t is said that this system has
worked satisfactorily. The number Of
stations can be raised to twenty-five.
but should not exceed that limit unless
a second wire is provided, and also

to connect one wire with the other. as

HUDSON MAXIM'S HAND.
1t Is Artificial, but Does Good Service
for Its Owner


| Il read with more than ordinary in
terest your recent interview with Hud-
son Maxim. the inventor of smokeless
powder. remarked a New York mer-
| chant. One reason why it was inter
esting To me was because of an I'M
| usual incident which was the means
of my becoming acquainted with Mr.
/ Maxim.
The inventor you know. has but
| one hand the other having been blown
off while he was experimenting with
some high explosive. The first time |
ever saw Mr.. Maxim was one night on
the elevated railroad train. He was a
stranger to me at that time. and my
| attention was attracted to him by the
actions Of a half-drunken burly ruffian
| who sat in the cross seat opposite and
| persisted in annoying him in one way
and another. A quiet protest from the
! stranger brought a torrent of vile Ian
guage from the ruffian. accompanied
by a hostile demonstration and a pro-
fame threat to punch his head
THE stranger paid as little attention
to the outrage as possible and kept on
reading his newspaper. | noticed that
the stranger had an artificial left hand
which was gloVed and looked very
much like the other one. When he got
up to leave the car at his station the
rufian jeercd at him. and. getting up
from his seat. followed him out. 1t
wasn't my station. but. feeling almost
certain that the stranger would need
some protection. / followed them out
Of the car. The stranger went down
he stairs first. the rufiian a few steps
behind him. grumbling all the way
and | next.
when the stranger reached the bot
tom Of the stair he stepped out to the
middle of the sidewalk, apparently
making room for the rufIian to pass
him. Instead of accepting the oppor-
tunity to go his way, he made directly
for the stranger. who sent out a good
right handler. which caught the scoun-
drel on the point Of the jaw. knocked
him clean across the curb and landed
him all in a heap in the gutter where
he lay quivering like a beef hit with
an axe. \ grewsome part of the mid
night incident was. that as the stranG
er landed his Knockout blow his arti-
fetal hand become detached and felt
to the pavement with a clatter. | CON
fess that | was a little startled al this,
and before | could recover myself he
had picked up his artificial hand. put
it under his arm and walked off
Although he had demonstrated his
ability to take care of himself up to
that time. | did not know but he would
need me as a witness later. and. over
taking him. gave him my card He
gave me his in return. and not till
got home and looked al the card did
know that the stranger who had So
handsomely protected himself against
a rufIian was Hudson Maxim. Since
then we have become very good
friends. and have often wondered what
sort of an account of the affair the
police got from the man we left at the
foot of the stairs. New York Com

eminently satisfactory to the queen,
but not so much so to the other persons

This curious tendency of the queen
to seek comfort in cold is ascribed by
Psychologists to her immense vitality.
This vitality shows little deterioration.

attire prescribed by fashion through
