powerful than the United States Govern

The Lnnd of the Guitar.

In Portugal men play upon the gui-
tar as naturally as Yankees whistle.
The peasants are universally given to
the Instrument. chiefly as an accom-
paniment to the voice. In towns and
villages the artisans are often expert
guitar players and walk in groups to
and from their work, enlivening the
journey with music and song. The
carpenter who comes to your house to
execute small job brings his guitar
with his tools, and the blacksmith is a
far better performer on the guitar than
the anvil.
When the Portuguese day laborer or
workman has finished his long days
toll, he does not HE him to wineshop
to squander the few cents he has earn
ed; he does not even lean against a
post and smoke or white stick
while swapping yarns with his fellows.
If he did not bring his guitar with him,
he goes straight home and gets it, rests
and comforts himself with the music
while supper is being prepared. After
ward he spends the evening singing
doggerel songs to a strumping accom-
paniment, tilted back in chair against
his own house or on the doorstep of a
philadelphia Record.

The process by which the Chinese
leather acquires its peculiar character
istics is described as follows:
The skins are put into tubs contain
ing water saltpeter and salt and after
80 days are taken out. the hair is shay
ed off and the skins well washed in
spring water. Each hide is then cut up
into three pieces and well steamed,
which is done by passing them several
times backward and forward over a
steaming oven. Further, each piece is
stretched out separately oyer flat
board and secured with nails, so as to
dry gradually and thoroughly in the
sun. The smoke Of the oven makes
the leather black, and if it is desired
to have it of a yellow appearance it is
rubbed over. with water in which the
fruit of the so called wongchee tree has
been soaked
OF the otfal glue is made by heating
1T in pans for IL hours over slow fire.
and the glue so obtained is poured into
rough earthen vessels, where it re-
mains three days in order to coagulate.
The solid mass is cut into pieces with
sharp knives and carefully laid upon
gratinglike trays to dry, the time taken
in drying varying from days, with a
northwest wind, to 80 or 40 days with
southwest.-Boston Transcript

His Paraphrase.

"You often see the phrase Memphis,
the Queen of the Valley, God bless
her." remarked newspaper man the
other day. '"The birth of that express
sion was the wherefore of one of the
wittiest things Ned Carmack ever said.
1T was in the lifetime of The Appeal
Avalanche and while Mr.. Carmack was
editor of The Commercial. There was
a municipal election of minor impor-
lance on hand. and the editor of The
Avalanche was just happy enough to
do a two column editorial Of gush con-
corning the life and death issues of the
election under the sentimental headline
Memphis. the Queen Of the Valley.
God Bless Herr
"Mr. Carmack came out in the morn
ing paper with no other comment on
the all important subject under consid-
GRAFTON than this epigram, which com
pletely covered the case and made the
phrase immortal. Blank, the fool of
the Valley. God help himv memphis

The First War corre.ponden,.

AS far as can be gathered, the first
recognized war correspondent to a
newspaper was man, whose name,
unhappily, has sunk into oblivion, at
the siege of Antwerp in 1881. Much
earlier in the. century, though, there
was in an informal and unrecognized
manner witness named Peter Finner-
ty-one can make a shrewd guess at
his ationality-"wh on his return
from the Walcheren expedition told
the British public a good deal more
about that unfortunate naval and mill
tary blunder than the British govern
ment of the, day cared to have publish
ed" There was, too, some really adj
mirable pen and ink work about the
Carlist war in the London papers, not
ably by Frederick Hardman and G.. u.
Gruinesen. Mr.. Gruinesen fell into the
hands of the Carlists and was about
to be shot when he was rescued from
his impending fate by the intercession
of the late Lord Ranelagh, who had
taken service in the cause Of Don Car
los de Bourbon.-London Post.

A Theatrical Puzzle.

'sThere is something absolutely baf-
fling to understand" said theatrical
manager, about the perfect regularity
of the sizes of audiences for any given
play. You know manage two thea
tiers here in New York One of them
holds about 1000 people and the other
holds about 1000 people.
Now, when we have a play that is
what we call a great success at the
small theater-such success that we
have to turn people away every night
it is almost invariable that the number
turned away is not far from 80 each
night-that is to say. 1000 people come
and get in and 30 come and cannot get
in. And when we have similar sue
cess at the large theater the average
number of people turned away is lust
the same-about 30-that is, 1000 peo-
pie come and get in and 80 come and
cannot get in.
Now, to all appearances the one
play has made just as big hit as the
other. so why is it that just about 1,O3O
people want to see the one every night
and just about 1000 people want to see
the other every night? Why do the
2O3O never come to the small theater?
Ihey never do. Such thing was new
er heard of. It's a little section in the
law of averages that i never could un-
derstand. New York Tribune.

Industry and Success.

There's nothin like farmin on hill
side, said the man with the faded hair
during pause in the conversation, 'if
you pick out good location"
do you mean to say" they asked
him, chat you ever worked on hill
side farm or anywhere else?"
"Who said anything about workin?''
he rejoined. II said hillside farmin
was all right if you picked out good
location. l had location right down
below 40 acre farm where a Teller
put in one. whole summer raisin melons
an pumpkins. When they got ripe,
they broke off FIN the vine an rolled
down on to my land. 1t was a good
deal Of bother to gather 'em up, but
done it. Made a pretty good thing out
of it too"
1t was narrow escape and nearly
cost him his reputation as the LATEST
man in the crowd. Chicago Tribune.

He WINS Telling Him.

During one of the earliest visits of the
royal family to Balmoral Prince Albert,
dressed in simple manner, was cross
ing one of the Scottish, lakes in a
steamer and was curious to note every
thing relating to the management of
the vessel and among many other
things, the cooking. Approaching the
galley, where a brawny highlander
was attending to the culinary matters,
he was attracted by the savory odors
of pot of "hodgepodge," which the
highlander was preparing.
"What is that?" asked the prince,
who was not known to the cook.
"Hodgepodge, sir" was the reply.
GLOW is it made?" was the next
question.
"Why, there's mutton intil't and tur-
nips intil't and carrots intil't ahd"-
YES, yes" said the prince; but what
is intil't?"
The man looked at him, and. seeing
that the prince was serious, he replied:
''There's mutton intil't and turnips
intil't and'-
Eyes, certainly, l know" urged the
inquirer, "but what is intilt-intil't?"
"Man," yelled the highlander. bran
dishing his big ladle, "am no tellin We
what's intilt? There's mutton intil't
and"-
Here the interview was brought to a
close by one of the princes suit, who
fortunately was passing, explaining to
his royal highness that "intil't'' simply
meant into it' and nothing more.- Ex-
