FRENCH KID SKINS.
Why the Young Animals Are Not Per-
 mi&&ed to Eat Grass,

The raising of kids for their skins is an important industry among the French mountaineers. Softness, deIi- cacy of texture and freedom from blemish are principal factors in the value of kid skins. and to secure these essentials great pains are taken. ?.
 As soon, as the young animal begins to eat grass the. value of its skin de clines, for with grass diet the kids skin immediately becomes coarser and harder in texture, and it's chief merit thus yanishes. It is, therefore, kept closely. penned, not only to keep it from eating grass, but also to protect it's valuable skin against accidental in- juries that might impair its market ability.
 When the kids have attained a cer- tain age at which the skins are in the best condition for the use of the glover they are killed and the hides are sold to dealers.
 The superior quality of these kid skins, due somewhat to climatic con- ditions, is what has given France the supremacy in the manufacture of the finest grades of real kid gloves, su- premacy that will doubtless long be maintained, inasmuch as foreign man. ufacturers must rest content with sec ond rate skins.-Harper's Weekly.

A DEAL IN STOCKS.

Comment of the Man Who Witnessed
 the Quick Transaction.
 Sitting at his desk on the tenth floor of Wall street building the man in charge of the investment department of Stock Exchange house was dis. cussing the bond market with visitor A message from the telegraph room was laid upon his desk. Pardon me, ' he said to his visitor as he picked up his telephone instrument and asked for a Philadelphia connection. He imme diately replaced the receiver, and the discussion of the bond market was re stunned. The telephone bell rang. "Par don me-" said the investment expert again as he lifted the telephone instru ment. ''I'H take those fifty shares" he said into the telephone.
 Evidently he got them. He broke of the connection. wrote a message foi the wire and sent it of to the telegraph room by boy. The discussion of tho bond market was resumed once more and continued until another message came from the wire room. The invest AACAk SAPCfI SAdhCCO dL Ab dAAI went on with the conversation.
 His visitor broke in to ask a question "Do you mind telling me the nature of that transaction you have just con cludedT "Just thenT said the invest, ment expert. "Why, bought fifty shares of an investment stock in Phila delphia by telephone and sold them in Columbus. O., by our private telegraph wire. What about it?" "Oh, nothing, ' said the visitor, "only it occurred to me that few years ago it might have taken four weeks instead of four min utes to do it." Then they went on with their talk about the bond market, New York Post.

His PrefarNnc4.

A distinguished eye--surgeou tells a good story of his hospital days. Three other young. newly fedged oculists. and himself were chatting in their quarters in the hospital when the con- versationf sturned,l as was natural in young men, upon the beauty of differ ent cOlors of eyes. One championed the superior brilliancy and sparkle of the blue eye, another the depth and fire of the brown, swhile the third was all for the clear, cool light of the hazel. After they had exhausted their eloquence, with the usual effect of con- arming themselves in their original opinions, the fourth young sawbones suddenly broke in: "I don't care hang about your blue eyes or your brown eyes or your gray eyes! Just give me sore eyes and plenty of lem, and I'll be happy."- Saturday Evening Post.

CLEVER BIRD TRICK.
The Wood Nightjar Has a Way of
 Openly ConceaIing Itself.

The Wood Nightjar Has a Way of
 Openly Conoealing Itself.
 In his book "A Naturalist In the Guianas" Eugene Andre tells of the tricky manner in which one bird fools the hunters. He says:
 "The wood nightjar is difficult bird to detect during the day. He chooses for perching some mottled stump or branch so closely resembling his plum age that he appears to form part of the bough upon which he is sitting. suppose that ill my wanderings must have passed quite close to a good many of these large nightjars, yet must con- fess that only on one occasion did get good opportunity of observing the habits of this bird
 "We had had a mornings duck shoot ing and were resting in the shade of one of the lnangrove trees which line the creeks. when what had appeared to me to be a dry stump jutting out of one of the branches seemed to move slightly. I threw Jumps of clay and bits of stick Nt it, but 1t did not move until it was actually struck, when, to our surprise. wood nightjar fitted a short distance away, alighting on a stump similar to the one which he had left a moment before. He immediate ly hattened his tail against his perch and assumed an attitude which gave him all the appearance of being part of the stump on which he rested.
 "I disturbed him repeatedly, and he 
 He always chose as resting places stumps or branches which his plumage resembled, and he took a position so suggestive of piece of wood that I should certainly have passed him by had l not been watching his move ments and seen him alight"

London's First Directory.

How did the world do its business before the publication of directories The huge directory of London had a first printed forerunner in slim little volume, "A Collection of the Names of the Merchants Living In and Around the City of London" issued by Sam uel Lee of Lombard street in 1877. It was the outcome most probably of the enterprise of Henry Robinson, we'll known writer on commercial matters. who in 1850 opened an office in Thread needle street, where were kept "par- ticular registers of all manner of ad- dresses" for the use of all who cared to pay sixpence.-London Chronicle.
