Tanning Human Skin.
Denver Times.

The Fred Reuping Leather Company, OF
Fond Du Lac, Wis, has just completed the
tanning of a human skin. The discovery
was made today through one of the en-
ployes Of the company. The skin is in
two pieces-one about II by 20 inches in
size, taken from the back, and one Il
inches square taken from the breast.
The skin was brought to this city about
three weeks ago by a student of Chica-
go medical college. The president OF the
tanning company refused to have any
thing to do with 1t, but when one of the
foremen was approached he agreed to run
II through, as he was curious to know how
It would come out The foreman had tan
ned almost every other kind of skin, in
Guiding frog, toad, lizard. rat and cat.
The hide was received in a badly decom-
posed condition. but 1t was labeled as a
pig skin" and placed in the vat and soak
ed for several days, when it was taken
out and scraped and afterward put
through the chrome process OF tanning
The job turned out we'll, and the skin came
out thin and pliable.
During the process Of tanning 1t was
handled by but few hands, yet one or two
of the workmen discovered the read ma
ture of the skin. The foreman was very
reticent regarding the matter. as he did
not wish to have any trouble with his
company or the wOrkmen.
The tanned skin has much the appear
ance of dogskin. and the foreman said 1t
would take an expert to tell the differ
ence Close inspection, however, reveals
the pores and lines peculiar to the human
epidermis.

What the Metric system Is.
Leslie's Weekly.

1eSlie'S Weekly.
The metric system offers the great ad-
vantage of being based upon the decimal
notation, the same as our currency. and
its terms or denominations are written in
the decimal form, the lowest denomination
at the right The system derives its name
from the word meter" the standard unit
of length, this unit being fixed as the one
ten-millioneth part of the distance from
the equator to the pole, measured on the
surface of the earth, a meter being equal
to a little more than thirty-nine ordinary
inches. The unit of surface measure is an
"are," a volume a "stere," of capacity
litter" and of weight a gram" these
terms being derived from the Latin and
Greek. The higher denominations of each
table are formed by prehxing to the stand
ard unit the Greek numerals "deka" for
ten, "hecto' for hundred, "kilo" for one
thousand, etc. For submultiples. or lower
denominations the Latin ordinals are
used, deer for one-tenth, cent? for
one-hundredths, etc. These prefixes fur
nish the key to the whole system, since
the name at once shows whether the unit
is greater or less than the standard unit
and how many times greater or less.
Thus, one dekameter denotes ten meters,
and one decimeter denotes one-tenth Of
meter These terms and the order being
once understood, the whole system be-
comes clear and easily remembered.

Fatal improvements.
philadelphia Times

An uptown physician tells of German
friend, a poor journeyman baker. who
sent his wife to a local hospital when she
fell III The physician always asked with
interest after the condition of the sick
woman when he met the German, and was
told in reply: well, doctor. they say at
the hospital there's Improvement" This
reply did not vary from day TO day for a
month or more. and was always spoken
by the German very stolidly, as though
he really did not see in the report any
grounds for hope. Then one morning,
meeting the physician and being asked
the usual question. he said:
"Oh, she's dead. Doctor
"Dead?" repeated the physician. What
do they say she died OFF,
They didn't say-they didn't have to-"
answered the German. II knew. She
died of too many improvements

Hampton retired toward the Black
water river and before reaching the
stream had reunited all the portions Of
his command and then quietly crossed.
Rosser held the Jerusalem plank-road
about 10 miles south of Petersburg. Here
he was attacked by Gregg and Kautz,
but easily repealed them. so he held the
road and the cattle were sent miles in
the rear to the south and were safely got
across the Nottoway river at F'reeman's
ford and all brought home That night,
and for many a day afterwards, there

Hamptons losses were 10 killed and AZ
wounded and missing.
Grant in a dispatch to Meade calls the
captures a rich haul and so they were.
Those 246S beeves were a Godsend to the
army-"Hampton's Steaks" as they were
termed. They were fine, large oxen.
ION returning to his headquarters
Hampton received a note from General
Lee in which he writes:
~ have received your report Of the
press my high appreciation of the skill
and holiness you have displayed, and my
qualification at your handsome and valu-
able success. You will please convey to
the officers and men of your command
my thanks for the courage and energy
with which they have executed your or
ders, by which they have added another
to the list of important services rendered
by the cavalry during the present cam

''Mr. Wells gives the credit of locating
the beeves to Sergeant Shadbourn, of the
jeff Davis Legion. Sergeant Hogan, IN
charge of Buffers Scouts also did excel
