The ancient Egyptians were skilled
IN the art of tanning leather and man
ufactured II In, various ways and for
various purposes besides that Of fur
nishing covering for the feet Indeed.
It is to those builders of the pyramids
that we are indebted for the first artis.
tic forms of footwear. and, so far as
can be ascertained from history and
the researches Of archaeologists, the
Egyptians were the first shoemakers
who were worthy Of that name. IL Is
a fact, too, that tanners of today en-
ploy very much the same methods
as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those In
vogue hundreds Of years ago. II Is
true that tanners of the present day
have found n means of greatly shorten
ing the time required TO convert hide
into leather and that steam power and
modern machinery have done much to
expedite and improve the processes of
finishing the leather: but after ALL the
principals. of tanning remain the same
as they have been from the first

ATempsst In a Teapot.

What war was caused by clay tea
pot?
For an answer to this question we
must go. as might be supposed, to the
land of pigtails and porcelain. The
story goes that a Chinese emperor in
olden days gave as a mark of special
favor a magnificent clay teapot of rare
design to 10 Hung Chang. his favorite
mandarin. This was laid up as price
less possession among the treasures of
To Hung or borne at his side by two
attendants at all high public festivals
and functions. A rival mandarin saw
these signs of distinction with the
green eyes of jealousy and hired a
man TO break the obnoxious pot. The
clumsy fellow was caught in the act
and betrayed his master. War follow
ed between the two mandarins and
their respective followers, which re-
suited in the overthrow and death OF
10 Hung Chang and the reception Of
his rival into royal favor in his place.
