How Indians Ia, Deerakin.

The skin dressing of the Indians,
both buffalo and deer skins, is general
Iy very beautiful and soft. They
stretch the skin either on Il frame or
on the ground and after it has remain
ed there for three or four days, with
the brains spread over the fieshy side,
they grain it with a sort of adj or
chisel. After the process of granting
though the skin is apparently beauti-
fully finished it passes through an
other prOcess-th2t of smoking For
this they hang the skin on u frame
in smoke proof house or tent. The
fire is made at the bottom out of rot
ten wood, which produces a strong and
peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth-
cred to make the smoke. The grained
skins must be kept in the smoke for
three or four days, and after this the
skins will always remain the same,
even after being wet, which does not
belong to the dressed skins in civilized

There have been three partitions Of
Poland. The first was in 1872, when
Prussia took the palatinates of NAL
berg, Pomeria and Warmia, part Of
Culm and part of Great Poland. Aus
tria took Red Russia, or Galicia a
part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow,
and Russia took White Russia, with all
the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec
ond partition was in 1893, by which
Prussia acquired the remainder Of
Great and portion of Little Poland,
and the Russian boundary was adj
vanced to the center of Lithuania and
Volhynia. In the third and final par
tition, in 1895, Austria had Cracow
with the country between the Pilica
and the Vistula. Prussia had the cap
ital, with the territory as far as the
Niemen, while the rest went to Russia.

 He was being borne on a stretcher to the train. and while the men who were carrying him were crossing the rails the stationmaster called out to them to hurry up as the express from Metz was coming. The invalid. who. 1t appears, was treated for paralysis, heard the stationmaster's warning, and was so frightened that he jump ed off the stretcher. and ran down the platform. He got to his compartment long before his astonished porters, who did not know what to make of it.
 The Invalid could not give any ex- planation either of what had happened to him. and decided apparently that his sudden cure was no reason for his not going to Lourdez

Paris nHeIIo, Girls

The authorities in Paris have made the discovery that the telephone sys- tenn of the city Is largely controlled by the nervous system of the Paris telephone girl.
 They have found, also, that the ma jority of the Paris telephone girls are unmarried and live alone, that they neglect their proper meals, and that In consequence the unfortunate sub -scrIbers suffer from the telephone girls nerves more than is necessary.
 The telephone authorities have in consequence organized canteens to provide their girls with luncheon and dinner at 12 to 15 cents a meal. con- sisting of roast beef and mutton, and plenty of sweets. All kinds of sweets are provided. but the authorities have drawn the line at caramels, which, says the official circular. tend to dis organize the service" Subscribers cent. since the innovation
