LEATHER FROM FISH SKINS.
Many Kinds Have Long Deen In uss
In European Countries for
various Purposes.

Fish feathers are now being largely
manufactured. The skins OF some
sharks are studded with horny pro-
tuberances which are so hard as TO take
a polish like stone. They are water
proof ard are used for covering jewel
boxes and card-cases as well as for
a great variety Of ornamental articles
says Illustrated Footwear Fashion.
The hide Of the diamond shark" Il
employed for covering the swordgrips
of German officers. A Paris manufac-
turer has made a reputation by tanning
the skin OF a species Of Malabar shark
into morocco, and the green leather
called "shagreen." made from the skin
OF the angel-shark OF the Mediterranean,
has long been familiar article of com
merce.
Good feathers can be made from the
skin OF the cod and salmon. and the hide
of the wolf-fish is being largely used
for card-cases and shopping bags In
Egypt fish skins from the Red sea are
utilized for shoe soles and eel skins
are extensively employed in Europe for
binding books, while in Tartary dried
and oiled skins serve as a substitute for
glass in windows.
Sturgeon skin affords handsome or
namental leather and the hide Of the
armored garfish is much valued, being
covered with horny plates which may
be polished TO an ivorylike finish.
Along the Lukon river. in Alaska. the
skins OF salmon and cod are utilized as
clothing, the material resembling kid
in appearance and softness while almost
as tough as parchment Even the skins
OF frogs and toads are being employed

THE COAL TARIFF.
Congress VIII Do Nothing I'm Oppo-
sition 10 the Protected
Combines
Washington Post.

The republican leaders in congress
have decided to keep the tariff tax ON
bituminous coal and the Boston Tran
script calls on Massachusetts congress-
men 10 demand that the duty be abol-
ished. But the protest will be fruitless
and congress will stand pat" 1t will
be remembered that. under the stress OF
the popular uprising against the coal
combines, during the strike, the demo-
Gratis forced the republicans to repeal
the duty on anthracite coal and also TO
pass an act 10 refund the duty on
bituminous coal for one year. That
period has now expired and the Tran
script a good republican authority.
says:
The measure proved of practical
oenefit, although the quantity offoreign
coal which was brought into the Tinted
states last year was small when COM
pared with our home output. The Amer
lean manufacturer or consumer pre-
fers our coal when il can be purchased
al reasonable rates in an open competi-
tive market. but such market does not
exist in New England. AS was amply
demonstrated last year, this section OF
the country particularly suffers in the
case OF coal femme, and the fact that
prices are still higher than normal. in
view OF the fact that the quantity of
coal mined In this country was greater
than ever before, shows that some check
is needed on the rapacity Of the coal
mining and coal carrying roads and the
independent operators"
The reason that the anthracite coal
trust was willing that its friends in
congress should repeal the duty on hard
coal was that there is no such thing an
true anthracite coal imported. The tariff
protection was, therefore, worthless to
that trust. The case OF bituminous coal
Is different; very great quantity OF
soft coal is imported from Cardiff and
Nova Scotia and Vancouver that com.
petes in the markets OF the cities q the
eastern and western coasts and the yoft
coal combine wants that competition
diminished.
Tbs republican leaders have. there
fore. refused 10 allow bill to repeal the
duty on coal TO come before congress.
The trusts certainly have extraordinary
influence with the party in power.

TROUBLES ARE MULTIPLYING.


The Inter Ocean. the most thorough
going republican organ of Chicago, and
until recently a thick -and-thin sup
porter of Mr.. Roosevelt, has seen the
signs of the times and taken to the
woods, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. Here is its explanation:
"A southern contemporary charges this
newspaper with lukewarmness toward
President Roosevelt and friendliness to
Senator Hanna The charge Is basel sole
~ on the Inter Oceans statement that
President Roosevelt was almost certain 10
lose the vote OF New York nex- Noyem-
Ter. The fact is that the Inter Ocean
has abstained carefully from interfering
II the irreconcilabie conflict which has
broken out between the Roosevelt repub-
Ecans and the Mckinley Hanna republic
ans OF the east
Any newspaper which believes II best
for the country 10 have four years more
q republican administration IN Washing
ton must follow the course pursued by
the Inter ocean in this respect, provided
Il exercises ordinary Intelligence in It's
public policy
"A feud which almost surely Will cost
the republicans New York state. and quite
possibly New Jersey and Connecticut, is
TO be viewed with regret and not 10 be
famed constantly into flame. Therefore.
as every thoughtful reader Of the Inter
Ocean must realize. this newspaper has
taken no part in the controversy which ls
raging east OF Chicago IL does not have
to. IL does not want 20. The charge OF
our Arkansas contemporary is without the
slightest foundation in fact"
This is another cause of discomfort
to the Roosevelt republicans. among
their many other discomforts just now
-discomforts which were much re-
lieved the past week by the comfort
which they found in the speech Of Mr..
Bryan. Indeed. SO great was the COM
fort they found in this that they closed
in comparative cheerfulness a week
which opened for them in gloom that
verged on panic.

OLD SPANISH CUSTOM DEAD.
shopLeepers of New Orleans ceased
with the Old Year the Giving
Of "Lagniappe."


The grocers and retail dealers Of New
Orleans abandoned on January one Of
the Oldest trade institutions of that city
- lagniappe. Ii was a system which
starting here nearly a century and half
ago, during Spanish days. spread 10 many
other parts Of the country m a more or
less modified form, says the New York
sun.
Lagniappe was Instituted In New Or
leans in 1870. during the Spanish domi-
nation. The word originally was la
napa. Spanish for gift" but ultimate
ly IL was softeIed by the Creoles into
lagniappe."
The Creole and Spanish retailers
adopted the practice OF making glr,s
with every sale. however small. The
gifts usually consisted OF candy. cake
or tobacco. The lagniappe was one Of
the chief perquisites of the negro slave
who did the purchasing or marketing
for the family, and the grocer, butcher
or other retailer who gave the largest
lagniappe secured the best slave trade
With the negroes this gift continued
of slavery. The white children also took
to it, and in time the practice OF giving
iagniappe became SO popular that every
dealer was compelled 10 give il or lose
trade
Various attempts were made 10 gel
rid OF lagniappe, but they all resulted dis
astrously; nor could the dealers. even
by combination, secure a release from
their heavy burden. Lagniappe had pre-
vailed for half dozen generations. and
so pervaded the whole life OF the COM
munity that the people would not sur.
render IT,
The introduction ia recent years OF
new forms OF lagniappe. such as the trad
irg stamps. coupons. gifts, prizes. etc.
never eracicated the old system, and
nearly every grocery had on the counter
until a few days ago a half dozen glass
Jars filled with candy. cakes. raisins
nuts. etc. from which the purchaser
could select such lagniap2e as he pre-
ferred
The fall Of that old institution Is due
10 the labor unions. The central trades
and labor council found lately that la
eniappe was proving injurious to union
interests
The largest lagniasp-. ii declared. was
given by those dealers who sold the
products Of "penigentiary. child and
scab labor" and the wives and children
Of union iaborers were tempted. ii was
declared, by lagniappe TO purchase
class OF goods whose sale was injurious
TO the interests of their husbands and IA
theirs.
The labor council accordingly adopted
resolutions denounclnG lagniappc and
requesting the friends and members OF
organized labor TO refrain from encour-
aging the practice. The resolutions have
given the grocers and retailers the OPP
portunity they have long been looking
for. and they decided that no more lagni-
appe should be given after January l.
All the stores now exhibit big signs
notifying customers that lagniappe and
all similar gifts have been abolished So
far the customers have not been heard
from. but il is predicted that the edict
will have 10 be withdrawn. at least for
the French part OF the city. tho people
of which believe that they have been
cheated unless they get their lagniapps

teased on subject which lay so near
her heart.
1t was Geraldine who sketched out
half dozen descriptions Of the Alto
gether Adorable, using big brush and
making a very effective placard; it was
Geraldine who helped Eff1e in her in
quiries, and in going round the shops
which were nearest to Queens House
crescent; and 1t was Geraldine who.
when the pilgrimage from one end Of
Queens House crescent to the other
was completed, suggested that she
should go across and make inquiries at
No. f6

said Effie.
But should only speak to the parlor

"Oh. if you have a feeling against it.
that is another matter"
And so the sisters went into the
house again. and at lunch. as had been
the case at breakfast time. the lost
Maudie Marguerite was the one topic
of conversation.
1t was Christmas morning, Christmas
in dirty London. The church bells were
ringing through the snow, which was
trying very hard TO make the world re-
spiendert, and to cover up the dirt
and misery of a London winter The
trees in the moon-shaped inclosure
which gave Queens House-crescent It's
name were white and dainty. but the
roads and Davements were in an inde-
scribable state of squalid-looking, half
frozen mud. Christmas day was quite
spoilt for the Barkaways. The great
pile OF letters and parcels which arrived
about II O'Clock were as Dead Sea
fruit, because Effie was. so unhappy at
the absence of the Altogether Adorable.
"Come, we may as well enjoy our
presents" said Winifred.
'Oh, yes, chimed in Geraldine;
come, Effie, there's present for you
from Bobby Myers"
Yes, 1 see there's something from
