to Please Hostess.
Out in the West oysters are more
often seen in cans than in shells. An
economical housekeeper conceived the
brilliant idea Of making one set OF
'half-shells" serve for second meal
She gave one dinner and had another
on for the next night. She had oys.
tiers on the half shell at the first din
ner, and she just ordered the cook
to save the shells. She purchased
oysters in the bulk and gave orders
for them to be placed in the shells
and served as the other had been the
night before. 1t happened that little
cousin Johnny was at the seaside last
summer and was an oyster expert in
a small way. When the dishes were
served he looked at the oysters be.
fore him in a quiZzical manner for a
few minutes, and then said, in a loud,
shrill voice: why, mamma, look what
funny oysters. All of mine grow the
wrong way in the shells. New York

Metallic Tanning Solution.

disappearance OF forests, has at last
brought forth process which prom.
Uses to not only place new tanning
solution in the market but to reduce
the six weeks necessary to the pres
ent operation with bark to matter
Of few hours. This new process,
which has just been patented in Der"
lin, is basel on the employment of
certain stanEates, or tin salts, which,
1t is claimed. rapidly tan hides or
skins and render them thoroughly
waterproof. The hides are depilated
and cleansed as usual, placed in So
luton of chloride of sodium for two
10 four hours and then rinsed slightly
with water. Next they are placed in
the tanning liquor, which may con-
tain any kind of tin compound from
which collodial oxide can be easily
precipitated by hydrolysis, and in two
hours the hides are ready to be
washed thoroughly, cleansed. and I'm
ished as usual. 1t is also claimed the
leather can be colored in fine tints
either simultaneously with tannage or
thereafter.
