MANY USES FOR sHEEPsKIN
Extent to Which It Is Employed for the
Necessities Of Life.
Shoe Ratai1er

"Many. people use sheepskin without
facturer. hThe warm, soft, furry rue
in which baby is wrapped as winter ap-
proaches is of sheepskin, and so are the
little pink shoes that are fastened on
baby's feet. Very, likely the little
ones carriage is upholstered with the
same stock, too. The boy holds up his
first pair Of trousers with sheepskin
tipped suspenders and the snakeskin or
fancy leather belt that encircles the
waist Of the girl is only humble sheep
in disguise.
1.-The woman who admires a. purse
from the skin Of dear little African
monk is only paying tribute to the
same old sheep, and the man who fancies
that his cigar case is from the skin of
the arctic seal has only a small section
Of g. Chicago slaughtered sheep in his
hand
"The society belle who slips her tired
feet into pair Of boudoir slippers, or
even Bangor moccasins, doesn't get
away from the sheep, and the young
dude who selects a moleskin vest for
winter wear because King Edward
wears one, is only giving an order for
more sheepskin.
1.-THE college man enters the world
with his sheepskin diploma in his hand.
The judge, passes down weighty de-
cisions as he sits on sheepskin unhol-
stored chairs, and the lawyer reads
opinions from sheepskin volumes. The
travelling man hustles about with an al
ligator travelling bag, under the fond
delusion that he is carrying a bit Of
the skin Of the Florida monster, but he
has still got that same old sheep.
''The pugilist puts on bit Of smut-
ton when he dons his boxing gloves,
and the youth who kicks the football
about is only giving boost to >. the
sheepskin trade. Nearly every pair Of
shoes has piece of sheepskin about
them, and some are made chiefly of
sheepskin. &a4-.
"a number Of the modern fashioned
leather garments are also of sheepskin
or are sheepskin lined. The sleeping
bag in which the traveller in the arctic
or the huntsman in the woods crawls for
a night g warm rest once protected the
flesh Of the same old sheep. The
chamois skin with which the society girl
brightens up her complexion in the
morning, is still the same old sheep.
In fact, night or day, it is hard to get
away from the sheepskin. !"

THE GERMAN "CENTRAL,"
Women Operators Are Retired on Half
Paw. -

The central girl'' is quite as much
class in Germany as in this country.
and at present there are 1000 women
engaged in the telephone service Of the
German empire, 1000 Of them being in
Berlin. The hours are light, ranging
from six to eight hours a day. The
highest pay which woman can draw in
German telephone offices is 1857, which
is said to afforda comfortable living in
Germany, but it is a low wage compared
to that to be obtained in England,
where experienced telephone clerks get
5000 and the chief supervisors are paid
as high as $3.50.
AS is the case with almost all wage
earners in clerical or other positions in
Germany, however, it must be noted
that women, on their withdrawal from
active labor after the prescribed num-
Der Of years Of faithful work, are
awarded a government pension on the
same plano with men.

FAD FOR OLD JEWELLERY
Styles Of Our Grandmothers Are Nov
in Demand.

Styles or Our GfanQmOtnefS Are NOW
in Demand.
Get out your old time jewel cases and
your treasure boxes, for the history
of jewelry fashion is repeating itself.
We are in the midst of a revival of old
time jewelry, and woe be unto her who
in a moment Of economy exchanged
the melted gold Of grandmother 8 lock-
cts, pins, chains or bracelets for the
newer designs in which we have been
reveling for the past few years. Per-
haps it is bit Of shirtwaist evolution,
but, at any rate, the girl who has a
box Of fashioned jewelry upon
which she has looked as past and use
less vanity is now the one to be en-
Wed.
The fashion for the recreation of old
jewelry into forms complying with the
old-new ideas of today amounts almost
to a craze. Instead Of the airy, fairy
settings which, have found favor SO
long, the. women are c1amoring for the
deep-carved Colds, unset, or, If adorned
with stones, those old-time fashionings
