Early Methods of Curing Skins.

The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maceration in water seems to have been common. among the very early tribes. and one writer has sug- gested that the idea was obtained from the natural process of depilation. They must certainly have been familiar with it in the case of drowned animals. where maceration can be plainly ob- served. Following this smoke. sour milk. oil and the brains of the animals themselves were found eff1cacious Many of these primitive methods are employed in remote places at the pres ent time.

Mournful Industry.

One French industry that has grown
apace since the beginning of August
is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries in France
are always so primly decorated. Many
a soldiers grave is marked today only
by a cross and cheap little tricolor
waving gloriously in the transient sun
shine, but there is big demand
among those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the con-
ventional mourning wreaths. The
shop windows are filled with these
things and with promises that orders
will be instantly fulfilled at the work
shops.
One imagines that the very finicky
work must keep a large number Of
girls employed, for all those elaborate
ly twisted designs of flowers and foil
age are made of wire strung with the
tiniest of beads, and enormous guam
titles must be used for every wreath.
The designs do not seem to have
varied. The favorite is still the wreath
of heartsease worked out in melan.
choly livid shades of purple, blue and
gray-green, but the words in running
script across the design are Mort
pour la Patrie."

RfCht Kind of Pride.

An honest pride Will be our defense
for many danger. You are too proud
to be seen in questionable company.
You remember your place in the world
and would as soon think of drowning
yourself as you would of allowing
yourself TO become part of anything
questionable. 1t is not the really vi
cious that causes the trouble. That we
are wise enough to shun. But it takes
pride to resist what many allow. When
pride becomes a monitor to your con-
science you are on safe ground. Be
sure you do not sidestep your ad-
vantage.
The man with the right kind of
pride never fishes for sympathy. He
may tell you of his struggles but never
in a tone of complaint. Though the
last crumb were on the table you
would never know it from his face
He can keep a smile in spite Of the
pinch of need. But as a rule he is
the last man to need sympathy. I'm
less fortune is very tickle he is the
man that FORCES to the front. His
very nature makes way for him. II
is the kind of pride that spells sue
cess. It's pride worth having.-Penn
sylvania Grit.

making and the work was rewarded
with a very large salary. When this
work of reorganization was accom-

Paris buyer for the same dry-goods

At present Caroline, with an estab-
lishment of her own. is one of the
most prominent dressmakers in the
country, and has on several occasions
retired from business on her savings
for several years at a time. In the
course of her experience she has had
as patrons hundreds of the best
known women of the stage and of So
ciety. among them Emma Eames,
Sara Bernhard, Mrs. Potter Palmer
and the duchess of Chaulnes. To
talk with and study these women of
talent and beauty, of wealth and in
1uence, is Caroline's diversion, where
as planning and creating the clothes
in which they act their varied roles
is the serious work of her life.

SOUP KITCHENS IN BELGIUM
How the Gigantic Work of Relieving .
Starving Nation Is Being
Conducted.

The soup kitchen organized In Brus-
sells by the American commission for
relief is now undoubtedly the largest
in the world. Nearly fifty thousand
people entirely destitute walt In the
bread lines" every day. and over SIX
thousand gallons of soup and four
thousand Kilograms of bread are daily
distributed to them.
unlike the bread lines have seen
in America" says report from one OF
the representatives in Brussels, these
are all people Of one nationality and
all with a common and undeserved
misfortune They are of all classes,
but we know none of them save by
number, because no matter what their
station or the extent of their misfor-
tune they still have lamour propre,
and many of them, If they were COM
PEELED to write their names on coupons
when they get the soup, would rather
starve than take It, None Of them
think that they will always have to be
in the bread lines, and every one of
them feels that when 1t is all over
they will want to forget that they
have been destitute.
"The soup for these pitiful f1otsam
and jetsam of war is all prepared in
the large storehouses Of the Interna-
tional Express Company Van Gand.
More than one hundred people are en-
gagged In this work. Among them are
former chefs of some of the leading
hotels of Brussels, who give direction
as to the kind and quality of the soup,
it's ingredients and their proportions.
Under them are those who clean the
getables-potatoes, carrots, beans,
etc.-and prepare the meat. This en-
tire staff is composed of volunteers,
except the chefs, who receive at the
most half a dollar a day.
From three o'clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5000 gal
Ions of soup is started, the scene in
the circuslike storehouse of the ex-
press company is one of tremendous
activity with the moving figures or
the hundred white-clad chefs, the fires
ablaze under scores of immense caul-
drons-all dimly seen through the sift-
ing clouds of pungent steam rising
from the boiling soup.
when the soup is cooked it is sent,
under the seals of the commission and
under the protection of the American
flag, in large lorries to the twenty-one
canteens scattered all over Brussels.
These canteens were formerly schools,
dance halls, Turkish baths, etc. Dur
ing the morning, wherever one goes,
women and children may be seen COM
ing and going with pitchers of steam

Manx was going back to Paris and
that he wanted Caroline to take her
place. This meant that she would
come in daily contact as filter with
the aristocracy and royalty of Eng

did or said in working hours she would
have the reputation of Jay to uphold.
It also meant more money-a better

most generally nonlikable citizen in the
whole state died.
Nov it is customary, in the case of
rural funerals, for those who attend,
as they stand by the coffin, to murmur
some eulogy OF the dead. A number of
farmers came in and said things which
didn't square at all with the old mans
life.
Finally an aged man, who had
known the deceased all his life, hob
bled in and stood by the coffin. The
aged man was known as the most
truthful man in the county. Hence the
