There Is a prominent doctor In Phila.

ployed an Irish servant, who had just
arrived from the could sod" Starting
out one morning he noticed his office
windows were rather dirty. and calling
Bridget, he instructed her to clean
them before he returned. At the same
time he told her that he would stop and
purchase Il new chamois skin and send
1t home. and with this she was to clean
the windows. After he had gone his
rounds, he returned to his office
CHANGING at the windows. he found
them thickly streaked with grease. lie
called Bridget, and the following colo
guy took place:
bridget. didn't tell you to clean the
windows!'
"Yes. sOr."
"And didn't tell you to use the new
chamois:"
"Yes. sor."
"Well, did you use IT,
"Sure l did. sOr."
"Let me see the chamois." said the
doctor. and Bridget promptly brought
1t. Then for the first time he learned
that his wife had left the house a half
hour before he did In the morning and
had sent home some trpe. The doctor
declines to say what happened to the

Those Used for Drum heads and Banjos
Are Prepared with Great Care.

Those Used for Drum heads and Baujos
Are Prepared with Great Care.
Calfskins are used almost exclusive
" in the manufacture Of drumhends
and banjo heads, and the utmost skill
and care are required In their prepare.
ton for these uses to produce smooth,
even, unbroken skin. The drum and
banjo heads are all made from skins.
Calfskin Is the best material, but
sheepskin Is good.
The hides come by rail to the fac.
tory in great bundles. They are ex.
actly as when taken from the carcass
except that they have been picked in
salt. On receipt Mt the factory the
hides are thrown into small pond be-
sides the building and left there to
soak in running water till all the salt
Is washed out. This takes long time.
After being freshened the hides are
thrown over the frames and broken"
The bits of flesh remaining on the
hides are removed and the skin Is then
soft and pliable.
The hide Is next put in vat with
lime and left there for about two
weeks. This loosens the hair. which
Is scraped Off. Then the skin Is
stretched tight on a frame and shaved
on both sides. Another bath In a vat
gives the skin transparent effect and
puts It in apple-pie order. Once more
the skin is stretched out OH a frame,
and IL any finishing touches are needed
they are given. After being cut in
shape 1t Is ready for the market.
The army drumheads are nineteen
to twenty inches in diameter. Other
sizes vary from the tiny ones used for
toy drums to the great big bass drums
some Of which are sixty inches in
diameter. Banjo heads are of more
uniform size.

preachers and doctors ought to be the
most useful men there are. Doctors try
to save people in this world, and
preachers do their best to save them in
the next. Isn't that pretty good bust

terrible to think of taking any Of her
