N,rrov World. After All.

Judge Peter V. Voorhees, has con-
cluded that the world isn't so large
after all. While in Nagasaki, Japan,
on a recent tour he and Mrs. voorhees,
wished to make some purchases. They
made their way TO an English empori-
um which bore quite a reputation for
quality In gents furnishings The
Judges eye was soon upon an assort-
ment Of attractive cravats, and he
made up his mind to lay In good sup
ply. Imagine his surprise when the
clerk who was waiting upon him called
him by name and suggested another
and better style which was more suit
able to Mr.. Voorhees, taste. 1t devel'
oped that the clerk had been employed
In a Philadelphia establishment and
that the Judge had been one Of his best
patrons.-Philadelphia Record.

Neglect of the Sabbath by the Jew

The Sabbath is as glaringly neglect
ed here as elsewhere The synagogues
are as poorly attended now as they
were before the advent Of the Davids
that are reputed to have slain the Co
liaths Of impious reform. Among the
mere handful that are drawn to the
houses Of worship the mourners pre-
dominate, while men and boys again,
even among these, are painfully In the
minority.
Passing along the streets In New
York where the names Of the firms
justify the assumption that their mem
bers are Of the chosen people" none
is reminded on Saturday morning of
anything that would indicate a dispo-
sition to keep the day holy" They
who know Of what they are speaking
are sure that even in the ghetto dis
trict the number Of them who from ne
cessity are forced to ignore the Satur'
day Sabbath has been steadily increas
ing.-Jewish Reform Advocate.

Dangers of Car Dust.

The popular interest displayed In the
subject Of car sanitation and car venti-
lation by the boards Of health Of the
larger cities has evoked some criticism
Of the railroad companies for not CIV
ing more attention to a matter Of such
vital interest to their passengers. The
laboratory Of the Marine hospital serv-
ice has been investigating this subject
for some time. DR.. Walter Wyman,
surgeon general Of the Marine hospital
service, says: Just how much danger
there is Of contagion through vitiated
air in the ordinary day coach now IN
use or in the Pullman sleeping and pal
ace cars has not yet been definitely de-
termined, and the matter is still being
investigated. Information collected
points to the state Of Texas as having
been the pioneer In this movement, due
doubtless to its excellent railroad COM
mission. 1t is held that there Is much
danger to the passengers Of contracting
contagious diseases from the fine dust
arising from the carpets and upholstery
while the cars are In motion and which
imperfect ventilation compels the pas
sengers to inhale. Medical News.

SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Leather Is prepared from the hides of
nearly all aquatic animals, principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator ana
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 Mt Mos
COW the soundest portions were re-
moved, cut up and stamped into ko-
pecks and a variety Of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Alas
ka 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 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 substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal leath-
or. fish leather is absolutely impervious
TO water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore 1t is Ideal ioi
sword grips, as, no matter how much
the hand may persplre, the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather Is made from the skin or 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 a spe
cies of slluroid is used in making

A LINCOLN STORY.
when Lew Wallace First Met the
Third Rate Lawyer.

TntrQ hutt bhWScF.
The few uneventful years Lew Wal
lace spent In Covington were distin-
guished by one important event. 1t
was there that he saw Abraham LIN
coin for the first time. The Indiana
bar had even then some brilliant and
notable men among It's members, and
q case Of extraordinary interest mad
called them together at the fall term
OF the circuit court. In relating the cir
cumstance General Wallace said: Dur
ing the session we were In the habit OF
gathering at the old tavern In the even
ing after adjournment 1t was a bril-
liant company, whose talk was well
worth hearing. One evening there ap-
peared suddenly In our midst tail,
ungainly man, homely of visage and
rather shabbily dressed. lie did not
intrude himself, but sat OH the out
skirts of the company, neither proner-
ing opinions nor taking sides In the
controversies that occasionally became
nretty warm. No one seemed to know
anything about him, and when l asked
a friend who he was he replied care
lessly, oh, that Is some third rate law
yer. man named Lincoln from some
where In Illinois, One evening, how
ever. after he had been there some
time" General Wallace continued,
something moved him to speak, and
then he began to talk. We all sat spell
bound.
81 have never" General Wallace said
"heard anything that approached 1t
the logic, the wit, the pertinent anec
dote. that poured out in an unceasine
stream. He talked thus for three solo
hours. Some one said. Whoever tha'
fellow is, we shall hear from MIN
again some day. 1t was my first meet
ing with Abraham Lincoln" he said
land the prophecy that we should heal
from him again, 1t must be admitted
was abundantly verified. Mary ii

Electric Waves.

Electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found py
the great scientist to be $50 feet from
the TOP Of one wave to the top Of the
next. The waves used by Marconi IN
telegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer. They are said to be oot
feet or more. They travel at the same
speed as light, $4,000 miles second
But the light wave measures only
few millionths of an inch.

The western world is casting eager
eyes toward the Orient. The fleets
of Japan and Russia are supposed to
be within few miles OF each other.
AS the Russians are utterly hopeless
of anything but an ignominious peace
unless their fleet should whip the
fleet of Japan, and as The Japs seem
to be eager to meet the big Russian
squadron, it would appear to be
certain that the greatest naval battle
OF modern times is about to take
place. While the Russians have
more ships and guns, the bottoms Of
the ships are said to be covered with
lmrnacles and their speed and agility
thus greatly. crippled; while the ships
Of Japan have been recently thorough
ly repaired and put in fine condition
for battle. 1t will be tremendously
important conflict, however, as a VIC
tory by Russia-with its consequent
control of the eastern seas and result
ant severing of the lines Of communi
cation between Japan aud the Japan
ese armies--would put a different face
or the war situation. Anything is
pussible in warfare. At the same
time, it would hardly be the part OF
wisdom for any one to bet heavily on
Russ success in the coming sea-fght.
