The original "boucaniers" were a
Wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they we're generally clothed in a
sun-burntd and weather-beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons Of coarse
linen, dieI and stiffened with the
blood Of bulls and pigs, and held up
by q belt Of rawhide, stuck full OF
deadly knives. Their apparel term
mated with pigszin boots and no
stockings. and they carried a long
barreled hrelock. loaded with ounce
balls Of lead. They were animated
with a common hatred Of the Span
lara, which, in their eyes, justified
any attack upon his person or prop
erty, and by a Wild sort Of attachment
to each other in their perilous lives,
which led to their being known as the
Brethren Of the Coast.
When the Spaniards drove them
into the career Of marauders upon the
sea, the word buccaneer took Ia new
meaning, though they were also known
as fre1booters. This 'eas a mongrel

a new meaning and a special apphca-
ton, as "iilibuster. Prom the West

Mrs. HettV GREEN'S Reclpa For Fortune.
Mrs. Hetty Green is the wealthiest
woman in the world without capital,
friends on influence she has built up a
fortune estimated at s60, 900, 000 The
maxims governing her business life
she has formulated as follows
I. Invest in real estate; buy house
for $4,000 that can be soon sold for
$4,000.
2. Be satisfied with a profit the
proportion Of which corresponds with
the size Of the investment.
3. Women are seldom successful ia
commercial undertakings because they
do not appreciate the Importance of
minding their own business.
4 Imitation may be the sincerest
fiattery, but the good Of itall lies with
the things initiated. Success IS q
stranger TO imitation. People with
money to invest should pay no atten-
tion to the doings Of others, but look
on things from their own point Of
view.
5. The goal Of success is not always
reached By the roughest road; the
path is an easy one to find. That is
Why SO many people miss it.

cial institutions in the country by
conduct founded upon the principles
in his FIVE favorite dictums:
/. There is no royal road to sue
cess. Work is the keynote.
2. Learn to do one thing well and
do 1t thoroughly.
3. Ambition and common sense will
win success for any one along legiti
mate lines.
4. The really successful man is
made, nos born.
8. Determination is the lever Of the
great machine Of life.
Practice Economy; Avoid Exfravagance.
Mr.. d. X. Parsons, millionaire,
philanthropist and patron Of colleges,
says that the rules Of life can be
summed up as follows:
1. Practice steady economy Do
not spend until you have it 10 spend.
Be strictly honest aud never take ad-
vantage Of men. Avoid show aud ex-
travaganoe. Use your money to edu-
cate the poor.
2. Be your own executive. Trust
no man to administer upon your estate.
You cannot carry out Of this world any
amount with your dead hands. There
is no use for money beyond the grave.

The slowness of the process OF tan
ming Is largely due to the difficulty Win
which the tannin~ penetrates into. tine
hide. As the penetration progresses
the outer part of the hide becomes con
verified into leather and Is thereby made
impervious: consequently the rate OF
penetration decreases: Months OF soak;
Ing in the tan pit are therefore neces-
sary for thick hides. Many attempts
have been made to hasten this absorb
ton Of tannM by hide. The methods
used include circulating the tan liquor
10 that fresh portions are CONTINUALLY
presented to the hide, forcing the liquid
through, the lide by pressure and using
strong aqueous extracts of tanning ma
terials.
It has been sought to attain the same
object by passing u current OF electMo'
ity through the vat IN which the NOES
are suspended Che such process mas
