Prepared from the Skins Of Various
Aquatic Animals.
Leather is prepared from the hides
Of nearly all aquatic animals, princ1-
pally the seal, whale, porpoise, alliga-
tor and walrus. The use Of these
hides Is almost as old as man himself,
and they have ever been most eagerly
sought after for the many uses to
which they could be put after being
prepared as leather. At the time Of
the Russian occupation of Alaska they
made great use Of walrus hides. Furs
were usually wrapped up in these
skins, and when they reached Kiachta,
China, the great mart Of those days,
the skin was sewed over chests of tea.
On arrival at Moscow the soundest
portions were removed, cut up and
stamped into kopecks and a variety of
small change. This formed the chief
currency Of Alaska for a time. The
Russians also made harness of walrus
leather, while the natives of Alaska
used the skin as covering for their
boats.
A queerer kind Of leather, however,
comes from the bodies of fishes. An
extremely fine quality Of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin Of an ugly fish called the an
gel fish. The sword grips Of the Ger
man army are made from shark leath-
er, which is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped fig
ures. This skin comes from a North
Sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal
leather, fish leather is absolutely i'm
pervious to water and never gets soy
81 from dampness. Therefore it is
ideal for sword grips, as, no matter
how much the hand may perspire. the
grip remains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin Of
the Pacific coast and great lakes stur-
geon, which is exceedingly tough and
is used in making laces for Joining
leather betting. In Canada the skin
Of species of siluroid is used in max.
Ing gloves.

A Role that City Men Are Not Now
Inclined to Play.
There was a time, remembered cas-
lily by many, when the tender husband
did not shrink from carrying home
materials for his dinner. Men Of
learning In those simpler days grasped
the eel Of commerce, as the eel Of SCI
ence, by the tail. The statesman with
Jovian brow and blue coat with brass
buttons was very human with dried
Goldfish wrapped carelessly in brown
paper under his eloquent arm. To see
a highly respectable citizen with
demijohn was a cheering sight. Nor
was 1t beneath the dignity of painful
preacher Of the Word Of God to carry
a pair of trousers to the tailor when
the rent was beyond the skill Of do
nestle ingenuity.
The present civilization may be real
or chrome; this at least Is certain,
the age of carrying bundles Is gone 80
far as city men are concerned. al
though no Burke has celebrated In
sonorous prose its passing. The man
protests against the burden Of can
Of peas, jar Of marmalade, his wife's
bank book. The youth insists that the
two or three collars bought to bridge
him over the weekly coming Of the
laundryman shall be sent home. The
schoolboy, however his mother may
coax or threaten, sulks at the thought
of a bundle, for he fears the ridicule
OF snobbishly trained companions.
The bundle is avoided, not respect
ed, as it was by the great Napoleon.
Democratic simplicity is found only In
tradition and in De Tocqueville's book
1t is not surprising that the bundle
should be spurned; that fashionable
mother may not be able to support the
weight Of her own baby in the street

Two days later he was prisoner. The
night Clarence had been at the Law
renee house some one had entered the
house, and valuable papers belonging
70 Mr. Lawrence had been stolen.
These papers were discovered In CLAIR
ence's room, hidden away.
After the trial and conviction were
over, George started anew in his en-
deavors, and soon Marion's life became
torture. No wonder, when one morn
ing found her devoid OF reason. She
was apparently happy, continuous
smile fitted over her features. Physi.
clans were consulted, but all declared
the case harmless, but incurable.
George Carson had gone to Europe,
sick and disappointed. Everybody pit
led him.
Several weeks after his departure
Mr.. Lawrence received a letter from
him. It read. When you receive this

thwarted, as If by higher judgment,
I could bear it no longer, and decided
to end all. II ever she should speak of
me in reason, ask her to forgive the
man who forgot all else. but that he
loved her. ana whose end was fitting
punishment for his crime"
The authorities needed no further
proof that a grievous error had been
mdde, and soon Clarence was released.
Mr.. Lawrence drove to the prison to
ask Clarence to forgive the attitude
he had taken and to look to him as
father in the future. He drove back
to the home where now all was sad
ness. On the way every one gazed at
the man on whom all looked as a hero.
Those who were foremost in accusing
him were now loudest In praise of
him.
Mr.. Lawrence, gently as possible,
told Clarence of Marion's bereavement,
and led the way to the room where she
was sitting. She was, If possible, more
beautiful than ever, but for the va
can't far-away look in the eyes. Clar-
ence slowly walked into the room. She
looked up at him and smiled, but did
not know him.

AS If by magic the smile faded from
her face and a grave expression took
its place.
"Clarencep' and she fell fainting into
his arms.
When she regained consciousness
reason came with it. Was it the SOUND
of a human voice that called together
the scattered senses, or was fate I'M
usually kind to her?
The sequel is easily guessed. There
was little display, but Marion Law
renee became the happy bride of Clar-
ence Marvin, and to-day finds her pre-
siding over cozy home, with three
youthful Marvins at her knees, anx-
iously waiting for her to read to them

Weiser leading in the score. The
Payetters knew they we're doomed and
this, no doubt, began TO grind upon
them-for they never do like for
Weiserites to get the best of them, al
though we can do it on any turn-and
they sailed in to win out, even though
they be compelled to resort to trick
cry and false decisions from their

that ever hit town, and he has learned
his lesson we'll, but our boys refused
to stand for il and in the first half of
the sixth inning they we're compelled
to call him off the diamond and put
Drew Boutwell, in his place.
In the last half of the sixth, with
Weiser at the bat, Drew announced a
decision that was as fair as any known
in base ball history, but that was too
much for the Payetters, who we're so
accustomed to crooked work on the
part of their own umpire, and they
walked off the diamond, much to the
disgust of everyone and to own their
detriment. The score was then an
nounced to in favor of Weiser.
Both teams are capable of putting
up good game and it is very much
regretted that Sundays game should
result so unsatisfactory. However,
this is the second time these mines
have played and each time the game
ended in row, and we would suggest
that our boys cut the Payetters off
the list unless they reorganize with a
good square nine and instruct their
umpire in honest baseball etiquette.
