SECRETS OF WOODEN LEG TRADE.
Making Artificial Limbs for Kings, Queens and Government Officials.

From the Shoe Retailer
 "0h, yes. indeed, they come pretty high" said the artificial leg maker. Tt is a beauty though, isn't 1t? I venture to say there ain't another one in Philadelphia like it, on or off, and it's as light as a feather too."
 With these words the creator of artid- cial limbs fiourished leg in the air. He was fat and smiling, and he spoke with an indistinguishable foreign accent, and every once in a while his face beamed with enthusiasm.
 'They all come to Philadelphia for them too, he continued. We've customers from all over Europe, Asia and Africa. There are lots of leg makers in the city at least they call themselves such, but some of them are not leg makers at all: they're harness makers"
 The august Philadelphia leg maker. pur- veyor to kings. queens, and government officials, took little time to show the specimens around the room They were fat and thin, long and short, graceful and otherwise. Some of them were hud- died in corners accommodating the dust of ages; others hung aloft on racks, so light and airy that they were waited to and fro in the breeze
 You see,' continued the leg maker we know how to do things now. We've got the secret all right. First they chop down the willow tree; then we cut out the legs. It takes heap of flexible leather to put the tendons in the right place. See that spring in the ankles? That's made by the leather tendons. If you saw one on man you could not tell the difference Then the whole thing Is covered over with fine pink enamel Looks natural enough. don't it?' At this juncture a rap came at the door, and a big man, six feet four, weighing nearly 300 pounds, entered He looked smilingly compaisant as he lighted cigarette and shook hands with the leg maker
 Can you do a rush order for me- dou- ble quick?" he asked. "Pve come through tough fight" he went on. "You know [ always travel with bunch of legs, and coming up this way from New Orleans the Pullman car was burned, and all four of my legs were lost l only saved the one had on, and now you've got to get to work to make another set for me dou- ble quick" With an air of languor and ease the big man stood to have himself measured.
 Do you know who he is?" questioned he of the leg trade, after the ponderous man had gone. Well, he is the son of one of the richest women in the United States. He lost his leg through disease and he always comes to Philadelphia to have his sets made Plain, ordinary boxes do for most people to cart their legs around in, but he's got fine leather cases with his name engraved upon them.
 Do many of them go into it-on such a wholesale plan?' was queried of the leg maker.
 Heaps of them" he replied laconicalIy.
 Some of them can do anything with 'em. There's one young man in this city who belongs to a glee club and they tell me he's the best dancer of Irish jigs in the town. He was a good dancer before he lost his leg and he's all right yet No;

at Washington he seemed inclined to the Hearst bill and thinks 1t would solve most Of the difficulties.
 Likes Alaska.
 Among the interesting visitors to the city this week is Robert Andrew Jackson. of the territory of Alaska. a brother Of J. Kirk Jackson, private secretary to the governor He has been nine years in the cold of the great north section, and seems to like 1t. He will leave about next Thurs day for the return trip, going via Seattle and the Pacific coast After reaching Seat tie he has a trip of 2000 miles by water and then 400 miles in a dog sledge. He bought three fine dogs before he left and they are waiting for him at the beginning Of his overland journey.
 Mr. Jackson is very much elated over the future of Alaska, regarding 1t as one of the most valuable of Uncle Sam s possessions. It has possibilities that Will make 1t rich in every feature of the eom- merce of the world While cold 60 degrees below at some times. he has not found it a bar to progress either as country or to individuals and as a civil engineer he has been able to accumulate much of the goods of this world He expects that many men will make fortunes there in the next few years, besides securing good health Mir. Jackson is the picture of physical robustness.
 Must Be Good.
 The rather warm roast given officials of Jackson county by one of the state examiners of public accounts this week may be regarded as a fair sample of what may be expected by others who fail to comply with the full meaning of the revenue code of the state. Judge J. M Carmichael auditor. has had number or consultations with the governor and examiners, and it has been decided to have no patience with the officers of counties who do not obey the law. Some weeks ago Judge Carmichael wrote very stiff letter to the probate judge of cer- tain rich county and let him know that if certain funds due the state were not in the hands of the treasurer in a reason able time he might expect question of his bond
 It may not be known, but it is fact, that when funds are collected by tax collectors and others having this class of duty to perform they are the property of the state and are not to be kept longer than is necessary to get them to the capitol Any other action amounts to the conversion of state funds to other than state uses and can be punished by all the statutes covering embezzlement One of the examiners told an officer that this week and he almost tainted.

Manufacture Artificial Noses.

From the London Daily Mail
 The city of Indore is modern and ugly and uninteresting. Apart from being the prosperous capital of a rich state, it's chief claim to notoriety rests upon it's hospital, which has won universal fame by the manufacture of artificial noses. That may seem a very limited industry on which to build a name. But in India there are several ways of promoting this industry. When a woman comes to the hospital carrying her nose in a napkin you may fairly assume that her husband suspects a breach of the seventh com mandment. When man appears in the same plight you may set him down as a usurer who has fallen into the hands Of his clients, and has had no Portia to plead his cause. Indore is the Mecca of these unfortunates.

That man to man the world OCT
 Shall brothers be for a that"
 A consummation to which he has given uneXampled stimulus. It is now an axiom that where Burns Is known there free dom is, and unquestionably he is the most powerful democrat. in it's widest, manifest and noblest sense, that ever wrote. It may well be imagined with what force the prostrate peasantry of Russia at this time might march to freedom inspired by such words as these:
 Lay the proud usurpers low,
 Tyrants fall in every foe;
 Liberty's in every blow;
 Let us do or die.
 Every line Is vital The immortal ode from which this verse is taken was com posed by the poet while riding in the midst of storm in the wilds of Gallo way. Burning with patriotism. it is the very native voice of heroism itself While all the poet wrote is tinged with his su- perlative genius there is frequently, as here a witchery in the sentiment and dynamic pith in the words that are like a spot in his native Grampeans, rresist- able, With the clear white glow of in spiration it is capable of thrilling and rousing like tempest.
 He is a striking example of the truism that in the field of literature quantity can never make up for quality. All his pro- auctions can be embraced in a small vol ume, and the poetry is brief and scat tered, the majority of it being written in the Doric of his countrywide a bright light in a dark lantern, as the poet Cow per observed He lived for thirty-seven years and was social, friendly. honest man, filled with wit and fun and fire. With ploughman stoop and dark flaming eye, he was the man of all companies, from hedgers and ditchers to the intellect and rank of the capital. He was good mixer, like all really great men. His so- clal and domestic life was fitful and tenn pestuous. and he was soul who remem- bered. Highland Mary, to whom he dra- matically plighted his troth. but who died suddenly, was ever afterwards in his thoughts. Eyeing the twilight star after days labor, he pours out his soul to her in heaven in an ethereal ode that is the very voice of angelic pleading. The native land of Burns has been called

Mortifying.
From Life.

There are few solvent and respectable persons left in the country who have not yet been investigated. It begins to be em- barrassing to a high soul not to have been found out We are all miserable sinners. The prayer book says so To have from third to half of our friends caught in some of their sins while ours continue private is conducive to self contempt. It would be fairer to serve us out one suit of sackcloth apiece, and ring in a general confessions.

Montgomery. January 27.-(speeial)- )- Though there has been at least one new announcement for senatorial honors this week as a matter of fact there has been little to enliven the political situation save the visit of former governor John ston, whose movements are always watched with interest However, he went back home and said that his intentions would not be made public just yet. In the light of the fact that Rufus N. Rhodes of Birmingham. has been rather hard on the state committee and has criticised it in his paper, it is a matter of more than passing interest whether he will run for the senatorial succession. Be fore the meeting of the committee 1t was understood here that he would offer for the Senate but since there has been little said about it.
 The race of Richard H. Clarke of Mo bile, promises to get matters lively be- fore the summer is over. He is cam paigner of vigor and a man of vast in- formation and Knowledge of men. If the past is laid aside and he is not charged up with his sound money opinions he VIII have a following in this section perhaps IS large as any other man in the running. He and Mir. Rhodes are together in that both combatted the free silver ideas long ago and made fights to keep the party from taking them up. It is fact that others did the same thing and very likely none will be charged up in this new and probably warm political year.
 Will Hall Run?
 It is now quite certain that Congress- man Wiley will not be allowed to take the congressional honors this fall without a contest Thomas I. Hall man who served this county in the last legislature, will, it seems certain, make the race. It has been thought for some time that MT. Hall might go in but he had not said anything definite about It. He was seen by the writer this week and asked his intentions toward the democratic las- sic of the Second district and though he did not assert that his candidacy was d certainty, he did not deny that it was a possibility. The fact Is he left the news paper man under the impression that he was going to run.
 MT. Hall made a good race In his fight for the legislature, being second in the vote getting His friends are gathered largely from the worl1ingmen and he has been for some time a writer and thinker along labor and social lines. Talk ing of rate measures and other legislation

From Mems Wear.
 ( CLOTHING manufacturers and re-
 tailers have been interviewed on the fabric question the result of the interrogation being given in the letters and interviews which follow. In some cases the names are given, but in others the gentlemen expressing their opinions preferred to have their names withheld.
 An Advocate of Pure Wool
 We are, and have been, and shall be, the uncompromising opponents of poor quality in fabrics; but not simply for our own sake.
 lts easy for any business to take position for or against anything and take the cor- sequences of such a course. We have done so regarding cotton adulteraion in clothing fabrics and the consequences are good. But we are not contented merely to use good judgment in such matter for ourselves and get the benefits for ourselves. Strange as it apparently seems to many clothing manufacturers. and dealers, there is a broader view of the question than that, and we are able to see interests involved larger than our oWn--the best interests of the clothing trade
 We oppose cotton mixed fabrics because they are putting the clothing business back n- stead of forward We believe in cultivatng tendency among consumers to buy better grades rather than a tendency among makers to pro duce cheaper grades. We believe that the man who thinks $10 is enough for suit of clothes should be helped to see that he's wrong, that he ought to pay more, because he will get more. If he refuses to pay more we don't provide for him, partly because such qualities as ours can not be brought within his price, and partly be- cause we have good many more sensible men to provide for. Some men can never be saved from their own lack of sense, and even pure philanthropy is wasted on such men.
 We believe the highest type of clothing merchant is something more than mere dis trbutor of clothing and a passive recipient of money. He is an educator in clothes he sells his customers what they ought to have, if pos sibe, instead of what they think they.want; he tries to educate the $10 man into the $15 class, the $l5 man into the SIS class, etc. for the sake of the man. He is help to his community in the line of his own business, not merely de- pendent on it.
 We are making clothes for that kind of mer- chants; we are doing all we can to increase the number of that kind of merchants; we are doing very wel thank youl
