A Question of Men.
ut is not a question Of money" said
an official of the Smithsonian institu-
ton. at is question Of men. There
is sufficient money TO mount the
Roosevelt specimens and also other
specimens which we have. but there
are not very many men who can do
here. A man has to be more than a
taxidermist He must be something
of naturalist himself. something of
a sculptor and good deal of an OBJ
server of animals in the life
The work that is now going on in
the taxidermy shop bears out this
statement. Only a few men are en-
ployed there. and they work quietly
and deliberately on their delicate
tasks. Scsttered around the room are
clay models of all sorts of wild ami
mails. There are plaster casts. too,
which are executed with fidelity TO
life worthy of a Barge. SO excellent
is the work on these casts that many
of them would serve for statues rath-
er than mere bodies to be clothed with
skin.
"Our work is just the reverse of a
tailoTs." remarked the head of the
shop. "a tailor has furnished TO him
the body. and he makes the suit of
clothes to fit it. Here we get the suit
of clothes. and it is our job to build
the body"

Hides Are Well Tanned.

When the skins arrived here they
were packed in brine The first thing
to be done was 10 have them tanned
so that they could be permanently pre-
served. This work was done in pri-
vate tanneries. the result being that
the hides have been converted into
soft pliable leather without in any
way damaging the hair. In skinning
nearly all of the animals very few cuts
were made One incision alosg the
belly was sufficient in most cases. with
The exception of short incisions in the
llgs The rule was TO get the skin off
The animal with minimum of cutting.
This makes more work for the taxi

that is practically unmarried.

dertake to mount an animal in nearly
all cases they first make miniature
model in clay. This is worked out in
great detail and decides the pose into
which the animal is to be placed.
Frequently the workmen make trips
out to the Washington ZOO in order to
study poses. From the miniature
model a life size clay model is con-
structed. and this carries the detail
even further. SO that the muscular

Under the law, the county court
convened this morning, but was I'm
mediately adjourned, by Judge Win
frey, until the first Monday in res-
uary, at which time the criminal dock
ct will be taken up and disposed of.
Judge Winfrey and the sheriff are
drawing the jury today for the Fen
ruary term, and the county attorney
is busy setting the criminal docket.
There are nearly 100 criminal cases
upon the docket to be tried ard the
county attorney said that his office
would be ready for trial in each case
and would insist that no continuances
be granted. Judge Winfrey said he
was anxious to dispose of all the bus
mess now upon his docket, so that
he could start the next term with
fresh business.
1t will probably take two weeks to
try the criminal docket, and immedi-
ately afterwards the civil docket will
be tried.

beer would greatly diminish the use Of

Gated the bin and instanced the continental
beer drinking countries as the happlest
and most temperate on the globe.
II is interesting 10 know how beer Is
made and what IL should contain. The
production Of beer. as of all other malt
liquors. bears a striking similarity 20 the
making Of bread: the chief difference being
in the quantity Of grain employed and the
amount Of water added. The one intended
for a solid food is baked. the other FOR q
LIQUID refreshment is boiled.
The process u making beer is something
like this. a certain quantity Of matted
barley is taken and ground. Il is then
mashed with hot water. the sweet LIQUOR
or wort extracted. a portion Of hops added
ard the whole boiled until the IreservauFe
quality as we'll as the aroma Of the hops
Is obtained. II is then allowed 10 cool ana
afterward fermented with yeast 20 produce
the small quantity Of alcohol it contains
and 10 give it life. According 70 analysis
made by chemists, lager beer contains u
per cent water. 81 per cent malt extract
3.5 per cent alcohol and the remainder
making in all one hundred parts-caroonic
acid Ale and porter differ only in having
a slight additional percentage Of alcohol
and large amount Of solid matter
As compared with the making Of beer is
the ordinary process Of bread fermentation,
wherein a portion Of the sugar contained IN
the -four il decomposed and converted into
alcohol IL has been supposed that the
whole OF this alcohol was expelled by heat
during baking. but recent experiments show
that a perceptible amount still remains
in yeast raised bread after baking. The
result Of six experiments proved that one
third Of I per cent in weight Of alcohol
was obtained from fresh baked bread.
From forty loaves Of fresh bread, two
pounds EACH alcohol equal to one bottle
OF port wine may be extracted.
