GARMENTS or SKIN.

Great Qua ntities of lie Their Now Tan
ned for the Trade Of TaiIors.
The tanning of frr skins for gar
ments is now extensively carried on
in Lynn, Peabody and Salem and in
other leather centers Peabody firms
are making considerable quantities of
leather for garments.
One sheerskin tanner of Peabody
says that the purchase Of leather by
tailors is now surprisingly large.
Sheep and goat are the skins chiefly
tanned in the North Shore district.
According to the Shoe and Leather
Paper, the sheepskins are made into
fine silky white or colored fur skins
for baby robes and rugs and also for
muffs, collar pieces, and even whole
coats for children. Another grade Is
tanned with the wool on, for coats for
motormen expressmen, milkmen and
others who are out of doors in cold
weather.
Much chamois leather is sold for
vests and for Innings of garments.
Chamois skins, by the way, are also
made in Peabody for gloves. Goat
skins are tanned with the hair on in
imitation of hear skins.

To Stop Hiccouqhs.

DR.. Louis Kolipinski reports the ar
rest of persistent hiccoughs by de-
pressing the tongue. A patient was
attacked by hiccoughs which had per-
sisted for four days before being seen
by the doctor. He complained of the
fullness of his throat, a condition
which he thought the result of the hic-
coughs
He was directed to sit up and with
a large spoon handle the tongue was
pressed down and back with steady
force to allow inspection Of the
fauces. Firm pressure on the tongue
with the hope of further noting the
action of the palatial muscles was
continued when to the doctors sur
prise and the patients astonishment
and the joy the hiccoughs ceased.
When the hiccough returned the pa
tient himself stopped it by using the
spoon handle.

zebra-like stripings. Sophie Bauer

In spite of her dirtiness that day

Anna. She was going to be good.
Vainly Miss Lucy had struggled for
this regeneration. The only response
had been a perverse wicl,edness.
That dinnertime, however, in splendid
rivalry of Sophie's beads she had
stolen her mothers veil. She had tied
it around her neck, and as Anna was
as truly feminine creature of clothes
as Miss Lucy herself, instantly there
Rad come over her an overwhelming
sense of the goodness of beauty and

There one found many see-saws and a

PENDLETON GETS
TWO MORE TRAINS
PORTLAND-SPOKANE TRAIN
TO COME THIS WAY
Arrangement VIII Give Walla WJla
First Main Line Train and Garden
City is Jubilant-Trains VIII Arrive
Here at If p. m. and 1 a. M.

Two Portland-Spokane passenger
trains are to be run by Pendleton and
Walla Walla, according to a report
received yesterday from the Garden
City. This will give this city two ad-
ditional trains daily and will give the
city of walla Walla its first main line
trains. The news is therefore causing
great rejoicing in the southeastern
Washington metropolis.
The two trains are expected to pass
through this city between II and 1
o'clock each night and are the ones
which ordinarily run from, Portland 10
Spokane by way of Umatilla and Wal
lula and will go from Portland direct
to Spokane by way of Pendleton and
Walla Walla.
The change is to be made: it is un-
derstood. because of the great amour;
of freight travel between Umatilla and
Wallula over the Columbia river road
of the company. These heavy freight
trains cannot be run by way of Wana
Walla and Pendleton, owing to the
heavy grades. The new route for the
passenger trains is a few miles longer
but time can be saved by sending the
two night trains this way, it is sais
because much time is lost by lodging
freights on the other line.
It is not known whether the change
will be a permanent one or not. The
trains are Nos. 6 and T. one bound
west and the other east.
Trains leaving Spokane will leave
the main line at Grange City Junction
and instead of following the Columbia
river to Wallula will come to Walla
Walla and on to Pendleton AT this
point the passenger trains will travel
over the main line to Umatilla and
then follow the Columbia river to
Portland.
Trains travelling easr will leave the
Columbia river road at Umatilla and
travel over the main line to Pendleton
and from that city on to Walla Wana |
and then to Grange City where june /
ton will be made with the Washing
ton division main line. Both trains |
will stop in this city and Walla Walla |
Il is understood and sleeper reserva-
ions may be made here.
