The Disappointed Office Seeker.


Back in 1856, when Buchanan was
running for the presidency, he had an
intimate friend in a western state who
was also a friend of mine, says an old
timer. This man worked early and
late for Buchanan's cause and really
did as much as any one else to put his
state in the Buchanan column on elec-
ton day.
Ny friend, whom we will call Smith,
had a wife who was an invalid. He
thought that he was entitled to some
recognition-as he was-for the work
he had done, and he applied for a con-
sulate on the coast of the Mediterra-
mean, believing that the sojourn there
would improve his wife's health.
Months went by and he heard moth
ing of his application, except that it
had been received by the president.
Then came the blow. He was notified
that he had been made consul at some
little town in Iceland! Smith sat down
and wrote a letter, which l saw before
it left, so l can vouch for it. The let
ter read:
"To One James Buchanan, President
Of these United States:
''Since applying to you some months
ago for a consulate on the balmy
shores of the Mediterranean my wife,
who was i'll, has gone to heaven, and
you can go to hellr'

CATGUT STRINGS.
The Way They Are Made From the
Intestines of Sheep.

The Way They Are Made From tho
Intestines of Sheep.
Catgut strings, it is we'll known, are
made of the intestines OF sheep. The
intestines of the full grown animal are
from forty to fifty feet long.
The raw material from the stock
yards is first thoroughly cleansed Of
fat and f1eshy fiber by dull knives ar
ranged on a drum turned by a crank.
The white tough membrane that is
left is then handed over to the split
ter, who dexterously splits the mate
rial into even strands by bringing 1T
against the blade Of a safety razor set
upright in the table before him. The
strands are then spun together and
placed on the drying frames.
An American E violin string re-
quires six strands, the European four.
The strands at one eGd fastened to an
upright post, are twisted together
while still damp and pliable by means
of a spinning wheel. Taken from the
drying frames, the strings are cut in
SuSluS. -CO1ISu anu DOAcu III O1lCd pa
per for shipment. To polish the strings
very fine emery paper laid on grooved
aluminium block is used While the
strings are still on the drying frame
the covered block is passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves in the block. 1t
can be seen that from the manner in
which the strands are twisted the eff
feet of polishing IS to weaken the
string.
In the essential features the process
of making the fine gut strings for sur
gical uses or the heavy strings three
eighths of an inch thick sometimes
employed for machinery betting does
not differ from the method employed
in the case of the musical strings ex-
cept that the latter are handled with
more care.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Pepper In Olden Times.

During the middle ages in Europe
pepper was the most esteemed and i'm
portant of all the spices. Genoa, Ven
ice and other commercial cities of CEN
trail Europe were indebted to their
traffic in pepper fc- a large part Of
their wealth. Its Importance as a
means of promoting commercial activ-
ity and civilization during the middle
ages can hardly be overrated. Tribute
was levied in pepper, and donations
were made in this spice, which was
frequently also used as a medium Of
exchange In place of money. When
the imperial city of Rome was be-
sieged by Alaric, the king Of the Goths,
in 40S A. D., the ransom demanded in
Guided 5000 pounds of gold, 10000
pounds of silver and 5000 pounds Of
pepper, illustrating the Importance Of
this spice at that time.
