THE GIRL AND THE LOBSTER.
Possibly Harmless Remark, Though
Decidedly Malapropos.

Dorando Pietri, at one of the many
Italian banquets given in his honor in
New York, talked about professional
athletics
"Amateurism Is no doubt more ro-
mantle than professionalism" he said,
"but we live in an unromantic age"
He smiled.

your gayest Italian restaurants" he

lustrated forcibly the ages lack of ro-
nance
1T was late. At the table next to
mine rich young Italian contractor
was supping with a beautiful young
girl. AS the young girl played with
the stem of her wineglass heard her
murmur:
at is true. isn't 1t, that you love
me and me only?'
"'Yes,' said the young man, though
this lobster is certainly mighty good +"

CURES COLDS QUICKLY

A never falling home remedy for
coughs and colds is made from the fol.
lowing formula to be mixed at home.
1.-Two ounces of glycerine, one-half
ounce Of Concentrated pine compound,
one-half pint of good whiskey; mix and
shake thoroughly; use in doses of a
teaspoonful to tablespoonful every
four hours"
Thus will cure any cough that is cur
able, or break up an acute cold in
twenty-four hours. The ingredients all
can be gotten at any drug store.
The Concentrated pine is pine prod
uct refined for medical use and comes
only in half ounce bottles, each en-
closed in round case, which is air
tight, but be sure that it is labeled
Concentrated"

Kerosene and Eaus.

1t must be remembered that in the
use of kerosene in the poultry house
none of the liquid must ever touch
eggs intended for Matching. 1t is
Geath to the embryo within. Even a
drop or two will ruin an egg for hatch
ing. When coal oil is used in the
henhouse for exterminating lice, first
gather all the eggs. If setting hen
and her nest become infested, remove
the eggs to clean nest, paint and
burn the inside of the nest box with
kerosene and refill with clean nesting
material. To remove lice from set.
ting hen insect powders or dust must
be used, but never any oil or grease,
as it will get on the eggs and cause
them not to hatch.

TANNING HIDES AND SKINS.
How the Work Is Done and Good Tan
ming Formulas.

The effect of tanning is to make
the soluble gluten compounds of
which the skin is composed into in
soluble leather. If the skin is hard
and dry it must be soaked in warm
water and worked until soft The
hair or wool can be cleaned of
grease and dirt by adding a table
spoonful of soda to three gallons soap
suds and washing repeatedly.
Place the hide upon round,
smooth log and scrape off all fat
with dull knife. Then take the
brains of the animal and work them
thoroughly into the hide, which will
render it pliable. Now cover the
skin with powdered alum and lit
tie saltpeter and fold up with the
hair out Leave it for three or four
days, then hang up to dry, and as
the skin dries work it until dry and
soft.
Another formula recommended by
Farm and Home is as follows: Dis
solve two ounces alum and two ounces
salt in one pint boiling water. and
when cold put the skin in and leave ii
for "a hours, then hang up to dry.
This quantity must be varied to suit
the size of the skin to be tanned.
When nearly dry stretch the skin
out and nail it hair side down. Then
rub in mixture of equal parts alum
and saltpeter until the skin will not
take any more, and keep on rubbing
1T periodically for three hours. Take
out the nails, fold it up with skin
side together and hang it up for two
OF three days, rubbing fresh salt and
alum in every day. Then rub the
skin down with pumice stone and
comb out the fur. This process is
especially suitable for large skins,
such as sheep skins.
To take the hair off bury the skin
in wet wood ashes or soft soap for
two or three days until the hairs
start, or it may be soaked in lime
water. Then clean off the hair, wash
well and proceed to tan as before.
Following is a tanning liquor for
large skins: Mix four ounces pulver-
lied alum, eight ounces salt, one quart
new milk and one pint prepared
starch with four gallons soft water
Put in the skins and air them often
by hanging over a stick laid across the
tub, so they will drain back into it.
After a few days of this treatment
remove the skins and add one-half
teacupful sulphuric acid to the liquor,
adding very carefully a spoonful at a
time and stirring well.
Replace the skins and stir often
for an hour, after which take them
out, wiring and rinse in lukewarm
soft water. Hang the skins up in a
cool place to dry, and when they be-
gin to turn white work and stretch
them until they become dry. Very
large and thick hides should be kept
in the liquor three or four days.
After skins and hides are dried out
the flesh side should be dressed down
with pumice stone. This dressing
will soften the hide, when it may be
trimmed as desired.

"While visiting my mother-in-law

Scotland and Horse Racing.

A. D. "a, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus
relates. were exceptionally strong in
cavalry and charioteers. Successive
kings of Scotland did much to improve
its native breed OF horses, and In this
connection It. is not to be forgotten
that the first Scottish king of Eng
land. James L., did more to improve
the race horses in our island than was
ever done before him or has ever been
done by any individual since. James
I. was the real author Of horse racing
as it has since been known in England.
He 1t was who first tablished regu-
lar courses. and during his reign there
came into being the code Of regula-
lions that led up to the modern laws Of

racing has done much for the breed Of
British horses. It was a gift from
Scotland.-London Answers.

According to Mr.. Doig, Wuebben
was in the Union depot there. Mr.,
Doig says he met him. shook hands
with him and assisted him to train
for Dubuque, la. Wuebben made no
refernce to his disappearance from
Milwaukee.
This puts all ideas of his fulfillment

the belief of members of his parish
that this note was merely threat and
that he left for parts unknown.
An air of mystery has been cast
over the affair, so far as the church
here is concerned. Behind locked
doors and darkened windows the
trustees held a session of two and
half hours at which the new pastor,
the Rev. Mr. Fisher, of Elkhart, Wis,
is believed to have been present.

meeting had been, and as to the
whereabouts of the new pastor, the
