Charles II. DueH. Commissioner of Pat

models at such a distance, and under such
perils as were involved in an ocean voyage,
eventually complied with the very earnest
desire ct Commissioner Peck for such an
exhibition.
Commissioner Peck he said. desired
to obtain some of the models illustrative Of
the growth of industrial art, and natural
" came TO the Patent Office for such mod

every exposition of Importance held in
this country, including that given at Phil

cago. together with the local Industrial
exhibits of Atlanta, Omaha, and New Or

BY A SECRET PROCESS.
4 New Wool Now Being Produced i'm
Germany.

Germany.
George Sawter, United States Consul sta
toned at Glauchau, Germany, has written
the State Department regarding the pro-
ductiOn OF glovers' wool as follows:
THE German Credit Institute OF SaxOny
has formed a joint stock company having
for its object the production Of skin wool,
which has hitherto been produced almost
exclusively in the south Of France and
northern Italy. Glovers' wool has been
produced here only in limited quantities.
The textile industries were compelled to
cover their requirements in this line from
abroad-that is, from France and LAZY.
This term does not refer to a new sort
OF wool, but applies 20 the raw products of
animal woods hitherto known as 'Rauf-
wolfe lsCraped WOOL or 'GeberWOlle'

lively understood the hairy covering of the
various breeds Of sheep. from which such
wool is shOrn during life. But. as one
can hardly shear them down TO absolute
nakedness. a certain amount OF wool, or
hair. is left as a covering after sheaTing.
The product so obtained is known as
'glovers' wool
Now. the wool OF slaughtered animals is
mostly Of inferior quality and, moreover.
materially shorter than nat obtained by
shearing the living animals, for which rea-
son the former is used for making up in

obtained in this manner is, as a rule lon

A LUNATICs DEBT TO A STATE

Hulda began to sing 4 song about the

It was none the less impressive to Azure
because Of that. 1t was q beautiful song.

and smiled and chuckled, and when Hui

all with unexpected harmonies and mild
minor turns Of the voice.
Hulda had some gifts on the tree, too,
and she found some for the walters, and
she and the colored boys made much OF
Azure, and one of them talked to him
about the day, so that It seemed diff
ferent to him from what it had when he
heard the learned men quarreling about
it in the drawing room. Azure wondered
il the professors would consider the wait
ers wise.
In the midst Of all this call came for
Azure from the drawing room-an imper-
alive call. The boy looked up, appre-
hensive Of something more than ordinary
rebuke. He could hear steps coming in
the direction of the room, and a moment
more his father was upon them and stood
gazing at the frightened Hulda beside
her shining tree and at the big, black
walters peering in at the door and at
Azure, bright eyed, with his hands full of
sweets and little silly toys.
What would happen now? he wonder

What happened was decidedly the I'M

"Come here. DR.. Patterson! l say,
Gould, come here! Bring the rest with

They all came trooring out Of the draw

and the sister with the spectacles, and
they looked and laughed.
''That's how the symbols defeat us, y

he kissed Azure.
But that wasn't half so odd as. the fact
that Aure's sister went up to Hulda and
kissed her. That was the oldest thing
that ever did happen. 1t seemed a
shame to the colored boys not to sing,
considering the circumstances, so they
began all over again and sang their
Christmas songs. They had never heard
Of any Of the things the learned men had
been talking about, so there was no rea-
son why they should not sing.-Chicago

CONCERNING SANTA CLAUS
Where He Originated and Why Rep
resented as an Old Man.

Where He Originated and Why Rep
resented as an Old Man.
Santa Claus is of German origin. This
is true if only because that is the Dutch
name for st. Nicholas. That he is an old
man is because in the ancient pagan
feasts in celebration Of the decay of the
old year and the birth of the new an old
man played the principal part. Among
the father of all the gods, and among the
Germans it was Thor, who was long
bearded and white haired. The tradition
Of hoary age is appropriate. for repro
sentation of the dying year was ton
strong to be driven away by the new fly
ure of the early church observances.
That the saint is st. Nicholas is due to
the fact that that venerable personage's
feast day was celebrated at about that
period. st. Nicholas was a bishop OF
Myra who fourished early in the fourth
century. He is the patron saint Of chill
dren and schoolboys, and hence it was
natural that he should be part of q Gel
ebration when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be heard
as well as SEEN"
The practice of making presents on
that day undoubtedly owes it's origin to q
general idea to carry into practice the
Biblical mandate. peace on earth: good
will to men," At first the great lords
made presents to their retainers, and the
season was marked by universal charity
BY degrees the practice of Christmas Civ
ing spread until now everybody gives
his friends presents.-New York Mail and
Express.

also they were ethical. They
sometimes contributed to the
INNNgNl forensic periodicals-and the pa
- terfamilias enjoyed the pleasure
Of seeing his articles in print. With Mrs.
daughter labor was usually its own re-
ward. Professor Hieronomus explained
the rejection Of their contributions to
current wisdom by saying that they were
above the heads Of the editors, which
may have been true.
There was no denying that the Heron
omuses were in the vanguard of thought.
At least all of them were save one. Au
relius Hieronomus, aged Z, and known
to disrespectful playmates as Azure, was
not ethical nor advanced nor learned.
The paths of learning were tangled jun
giles to Azure. and his imagination infest-
ed them with wild beasts. He avoided
knowledge and circumvented it with a
discretion which was no doubt the better
part of valor. He was a rosy boy, with
eyes that were wistful in spite Of his
glowing health and with manners which
were not as frank as boys manners
ought to be, by which an astute person
might have inferred that Aure's individ-
uality was not affectionately cultivated.
1t is true that his father, mother and
sister attended the psychological con-
gress and that they talked about and
wrote on child study-nay, they employed
Azure as a model for their observations.
But still Azure did not feel himself under
stood. He cleaned himself scrupulously
before entering the presence of his par,
ents and sat in respectful silence while
they talked. 1t is an aphorism that boy
Of who attends to his finger nails is not
happy. The depths of Aure's melancholy
may be measured by the fact that his
nails were always scrupulously mani
cured.
1t was to be observed, too. that the
household had another member who was
not advanced This was Hulda Paulsep.
the kitchenmaid. There were nights
when the conversation in the drawing
room was scientific to the last degree.
when Hulda and Azure sat by the much
secured kitchen table playing casino and
laughing together with the most incense
quential happiness. The usefulness Of
Aure's eyes reached it's minimum on these
occasions, and it was to be noticed that
certain dimples, which did not ordinarily
show themselves in Hulda's cheeks, came
into charming play when the little boy
snuggled up to her and begged her to tell
a tale Of old Sweden.
Now Hulda knew almost no one in the
new world, and she told her dreams and
her troubles to Azure. who sympathized
with them and who told his in turn.
Without exactly knowing why Hulda
was sorry for Azure.
"Where you have your Christmas
tree?" asked the girl of Azure as the holy
day drew nearer.
II do not have Christmas trees" Azure
answered quietly. Mother does not be-
ieve in Christmas trees"
