The people of Venezuela just now are more
favorably disposed toward Americans thar

SOME ODD LEATHERs.
Prepared Fsom the Skins Of Various

Prepared Fsom the Skins Of Various
Aquatic Animals. s
Leather is prepared from the hides Of
nearly all aquatic animals, principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator and
walrus. The use Of these hides is al.
most 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 usual.
" 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 Mos.
COW the soundest portions were re-
moved, cut up and stamped into ko
pecks and variety of small change
This formed the chief currency Of Alas.
ka for time. The Russians also made
harness of walrus leather, while the
natives Of Alaska used the skin as q
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 angel
fish. The sword grips Of the German
army are made from shark leather.
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 q substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal leath-
er, fish leather is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore 1t is ideal for
sword grips, as, no matter how much
the hand may perspire, the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin Of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon,
which is exceedingly tough and is used
In making laces for joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin Of spe-
cies of siluroid is used in making
gloves.

FROM OUR NORTHEAST CORNER

1t is reported D. 2. Keller has pur-
chased Mr.. Jeffries' interest in the firm
OF Jeffries & Keller and will conduct
the business himself in the future. Mr..
Jeffries had the misfortune to be
kicked by a horse and had one bone of
his leg broken. However, it is healing
nicely and he will soon be around
again as usual.

The rains of week ago have brought
up all the flax and never has there
been finer prospects for crops than
there is now. Oats, rye, wheat, barley,

Row One Woman Lost Her Temper
and Her Art Treasures.
Apropos Of the woman with the abil-
ity to plan big coup and who then
loses it and her head at the last
moment an auctioneer in New York
tells an interesting story. The woman
was an American who had been living
abroad with her husband for many
years. Upon his death she returned,
bringing with her large collection of
valuable paintings which had been his
property and which she hoped to sell.
She made arrangements with the auc-
tioneer to handle them for her, and he
was delighted with the cleverness with
which she had obtained vouchers for
each one. It showed enterprise and
thoroughness seldom found in men or
women and made it certain that the
pictures, which were really good ones,
would bring good prices. u.s., ~.
To every one living who had been in
any way connected with the pictures,
owned them or handled them the wom-
an had gone for a written guarantee
and, in addition to the names obtained
in this way, she had been to the Amer
lean consul, and he in his turn had
guaranteed their signatures. They
were all sworn to and duly witnessed,
and the auctioneer congratulated the
woman.
That was all right until Uncle Sam
stepped in. The custom house authori-
ties, though unable to obtain possession
Of the guarantees, appreciated the pic
lures, estimated them to be worth their
full value as understood by the owner
and put duties upon them entirely be-
yond the woman's power to pay. She
was greatly distressed at first, then an
noyed and finally furiously angry at
what she considered an imposition.
The auctioneer endeavored to console
her. ys Il
'They will be sold for little or moth
ing at the custom house SALE" he said,
"and the best thing to do is to buy
them in. They will go for $40 or SIS
apiece, and we will have the sale after
all. l will buy them In for you, and
we will both make pot OF money out
Of them"
But by that time the woman was too
angry to listen to advice. She consid-
cred that she had been badly treated.
II the custom house wished to keep her
pictures from her. very well, they
might have them. She tore up the
guarantees, the pictures were sold for
next to nothing and scattered no one
knows where now and the woman lost
