"Chnmoisv skins.

Charles c. Druedllng has written an
article in the Journal of Pharmacy on
channels skins. The commercial article
OF that name, he says. is really oil
tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The
supply of skins from the channels ami
NAL Is very limited. Enough could not
be obtained In year to supply the
United States for more than a single
day. He made special inquiry on a
visit to Switzerland about the annual
crop Of the channels skins and ascer-
tanned that from 5000 to 5000 skins
would be fair average yearly crop.
This skin is heavier than the skin of
the sheep OF lamb, also much coarser.
For strength and durability the cham
OILS skin is preferable, but for ordi-
nary use and appearance the oil tanned
sheepskin lining would in most in

Sinai was known as the turquoise
land in very ancient times, and DIR.
Flinders Petrie believes that it was
the first mining center in the world.
In his book on the subject DR.. Petrie
tells of the various expeditions sent to
Sinai by the Egyptian government At
the head of the party was the com
mander," or bearer of the seal of the
god the pharaoh. The official staff
consisted of masters of the house Of
metals" or assayers, scribes and sec
retaries, to make inventories Of the
output Of the mines. Even more mod
ern were the "devisers of metals" or
prospectors. The working stan con
sisted of miners and their assistants.
The commissariat had cooks, bread
bakers, water carriers and even doc
tor attached. The mines could only be
worked for a certain period, from
January to May, which Is exactly the
best period for archaeological work in
Sinai today. The miners lived in camps,
and the so called forts and camps
were really miners villages.

WELSH WEDDINGS.
When One Had to Catch His Bride
After Winning Her.

After Winning Her.
A wedding as it was customarily ar
ranged In Wales some half century
ago was an interesting affair
In those days, as soon as the young
people had made up their own minds.
before they could speak Of wedding
the consent of the brides parents had
to be obtained. This arrangement, or,
rather consent, was called the Gofyn-y-
ferch and could by no means be done
by letter, a written document being
considered very bad taste,
a good deal of formality surrounded
the Gofyn-y-ferch, and 1t was not to be
omitted ever when the parents were
known to be willing. The accepted
lover had many anxieties, and among
them, the necessity of which will be
seen by and by, was the pace of his
best horse and the pace and mettle Of
his friends horses
At last the wedding day dawned.
The bride was dressed early but over
her flnery she wore a long cloak, but.
toned all the way down to the ground.
while hood entirely covered her head
and face. In the course of the morning
the bridegroom sent some of his friends
to seek out the bride. Arrived at her
fathers house they found the door
locked, and before they could be adj
mitted they had to recite some poetry
Sometimes the fair lady's whims and
caprices made the delay In unlocking

open the bride was still to be found.
She had taken refuge in some OBJ
Scure corner of the house, where she
was crouching out of sight, completely
covered with her long cloak. This
game of hide and seek was sometimes
so prolonged that when the bride was
found 1t was too late to be married
that day, but this did not happen often
When the bride was really found, there
was great mounting Of horses. She,
in her modest cloak, was seated behind
her father and all the company set off
as fast as their steeds could go. all
except the brides mother, who seldom,
IL ever. attended her daughters wed
ding.
and rough ground the mountain ponies
galloped, and shame on the bridegroom
If he and his friends did not reach the
church before the bride Service over,
the bridegroom had still TO keep guard
over his wife, for In one country par
ish, if not in many, it was the custom
for friends of the young man to wait
outside the church until the service
was over When the happy couple ap-
peared, the bride was seized and placed
behind one Of the men, who galloped
off with her
Naturally she was holly pursued by
the bridegroom, who, of course, after
an exciting chase, eventually captured
her. When at last the wife was Sc
cured she took her seat behind her
husband and on his own horse, and the
company rode off again to the brides
old home. Arrived at the house, all
the party drank the health of bride
and bridegroom out OF the same pew

about the circus. I'll fix it some way.

So Willie kept his counsel and was
petted much by his auntie for the next
two days. On the morning of the
Fourth he was firing off his crackers
from the open window in his little
nightclothes at o'clock, and Marjorie
said never word of complaint She
had made up her mind to take him to
the circus herself and to get away early
to avoid any possible conflict with her
former great friend, the commodore
now stranger forever.
Before lunch was over, however, the
commodore's touring car stopped at the
door and the commodore was standing
on the porch, cap in hand, announcing
that he had come.
Yes, I see" returned Marjorie cool
ly, but deliberately avoiding his gaze.

A southern clergyman, an inveterate
punster, says that while he is we'll
aware that puns belong to the lowest
order Of wit he is seldom able to resist
the temptation to make one when OPP
portunity offers.
On one occasion after preaching an
eloquent sermon he was met by two
friends, one of whom began to praise
his discourse in enthusiastic terms.
When he paused for breath the other
man said with a laugh:
.Well, doctor, can you. stand as much
soft soap as that?'
Indeed can if there isn't too much
I've in it, returned the minister
quickly.
At another time he was present at
the marriage reception of a young cou-
pie of the name Of More. The occasion
was somewhat stiff up to the time of
the minister's entrance, and he quickly
discovered the state of affairs.
Madam" he said, with his radiant
smile, addressing the awkward young
bride, how fortunate you are! There
are so few people who can say with
truth, The More l want the More 1
have"
The laugh which followed put the
company at ease.

George Buchanan was a scholar, his
torian, controversialist and the best
Latin poet of his age Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward james l. Of
England. One day he caused himself
to be made king of Scotland, and this
was the way of it: Having observed In
James a tendency to too ready acqui-
escence, he drew up a paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did so at
once without having read 1t. The doc
ument happened to be transfer Of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got it
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man a lu-
matte until the instrument was pro
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to illus
trate the days lesson on the RESPONSE
bilities of monarchs.

1t was the dry season on the veldt,
and the grass was burned down and
half covered with yellow dust. Not a
kraal was to be seen or a habitation,
not tree or shrub so far as the eye
could reach-only the ocher brown
earth stretching away and at last end
ing in the same level sky lines to the
north and south and east and west
and crossing the sun blistered waste
one little animate dot, the canvas COW
cred wagon of Boer family trekling
with the sheep and cattle in search of
a water course that had not dried up.
For three days had the dot been
moving across the waterless waste
and for three days had the sun left the
thirsty sky line in the east only to
glare down pitilessly until 1t dropped
behind the equally thirsty sky line in
the west, and now the tongues of the
cattle were hanging from their mouths
and the sheep bleated piteously, and
the small quantity of water brought
along for the trekkers' own use was
exhausted.
By the end of the second day they
had expected to find water, but the
stream counted on had proved but
dusty, sun dried depression, and for
twenty-four hours they had followed
its course, hoping to find some sink
hole from which the water had not
dried. Now they were bordering the
necessity of seeking the next water
course yet another twenty-four hours
away. If that were dry also, what

Other families had trekked over this
veldt before them, and more would
follow, for this was the annual custom.
When the dry season came and burned
every vestige of green from the home
grazing land, the Beers would load
their families into the great wagons,
drawn by many spans of oxen, and,
driving the sheep and cattle before
them, seek the water courses that had
not dried up. And there they would
