CATALONIA SHEEPSKlNS.
Finest in Spain, from Which Coun-
try Vast Quantities Are
Shipped Abroad.

Barcelona is an important market
fol the supply of sheepskins. The
finest skins are collected in the prov
inc of Catalonia. Not only are they
OF good quality, but they are, as a rule,
more carefully flayed and stacked than
those obtained in other parts of Spain
Valencia sheepskins are also OF good
quality, and are, generally speaking,
larger than the others. Next in order
skins may be classed those collected
in the district of La Mancha, in New
CASTLE, and, lastly, those shipped from
Murcia, which are smaller and often
oiumpled and badly fayed
Owing to the political situation in
Russia, which, along with Spain and
Italy, supplies very large quantities Of
sheepskins, exports from that country
have been greatly interfered with, and
foreign buyers have turned their at
tention more to Spain than they nave
hitherto, with the natural result that
prices have been forced up. German
dealers have recently been through
Spain buying up all available sup
plies.
Barcelona alone produces from AGO.
600 TO 100000 skins annually. Dealers
and exporters purchase the skins from
the meat contractors, the contracts
being made either for whole lear
or only six months, in which latter
case the skins command higher price
il the purchase be made for six months
with the wool on.
The annual contracts are now being
made for 1906, the following being the
plices that il is thought will be rea,-
lied: Lambskins, SS.42 10 SS75 per
dozen, against 1862 10 81 last year.

RITES ODDLY AMERlCANIZED
Chinese in This Country Substitute
Green backs for Brass in
Burial Ceremony.

Unconverted Chinese who have
lived in America lorg enough to be
touched by the undermining influence
of the new west, have given peculiar
twist TO their already peculiar burial
service. II was according TO this mod
ernized rite, reports the Philadelphia
Record, that many crisp United States
dollar bills were buried, together with
food, in the coffin of Chin Wing, whose
funeral took place on a recent Sunday
in this city The original Chinese
ceremony calls for much burning of
incense in the room where the body
lies in state and at the burial that
food and cash" be inferred with the
corpse. The cash" or Chinese money
is to pay the guide who shows the de-
parted soul across the Confucian Styx.
and the food prevents him from faint
ing along the way from hunger. But
the American-Chinese is no longer
particular that Chinese money accom-
panies the spirit. He reasons that
American dollars are as good, and
certainly more easily obtained here
and that the wanderer can surely find
a bank of exchange in the land of
spirits where he can convert the
sound money of one of the most pros
porous nations on earth into any cur
rency the other world requires.

Dramatist's Opinion.

An opinion from Bronson Howard
the weil-known dramatist. Like al
most everyone else who has seen AZ
years of theatrical life, think the
stage just now is overburdened with
scenery and swamped with eXtravagani
clothes. This condition cannot be
kept up much longer The managers
cannot stand it. 1t is too expensive
and the rivalry between them, each
trying TO Guido the other, must bring
about a reaction that will do away
with the whole scheme"

SEE SERMONS IN STONES.
Scientists Testify TO Mutual sympa-
thy Existing Between Jewels
and Persons.

Science has come 10 the fore to tes-
tify that the belief that precious stones
have a peculiar sympathy with human
character and bearing thereon is no
idle superstition. A professor Of the
Paris conservatory Of Arts and Crafts
says that the mutual attraction of peo-
pie and stones is beyond dispute.
He throws cold water on the belief
that sapphires can open prison doors
or that diamonds make brave men in
vulnerable. But after three years ex-
perimental observation he maintains
that a preference for certain Jewels
indicates certain temperamental quail
ties and even characteristic of physi-
ognomy.
For instance, the ruby Invariably at
tracts persons of dark eyes with long
eyelashes. The diamond tennis the
blue eyed who boast long lashes. And
both blonde and brunette alike if Of
nervous temperament yearn for
emeralds.
Easy-going natures fall under the
spell OF blue stones.
But more than all these scientific
facts is the discovery that the SYM
pathy Of the stone is a sure test of it's
genuineness. No matter ROW perfect
artificial stones may be, even though
made from the dust of the real. hav-
Ing undergone an unnatural crystalli
zation they do not possess the subtle
sympathetic attraction. When an
easy-going woman turns the cold
shoulder on a turquoise collar you
may be positive that the turquoise is
artificial.

Village of Cripples.

The strangest village in the world
is undoubtedly the little hamlet al
Jatte, near Culoz, in France, not far
from the Italian frontier, where dwell
about 200 deformed men, women and
children, who in Paris go by the name
of "Culs-de-Jatte. They are deprived
of the use of their legs and thighs
and push themselves along in print
tive wooden carts with wooden wheels
which they propel by means of fiat
iron-shaped block of wood in either
hand.
