Silly Idea Rebuked.

The late Count de Lesseps never
seemed to lose sight of the educa-
ton of his children, even in the
smallest detail. One morning at
breakfast a beautiful Dresden tea
cup was broken.
"Ah J" cried the countess. ga disas-
ter! Two more of that set will now
be broken. It always happens So"
"Are you so superstitious," asked
the count, ''as really to believe that
two more will be broken?'
ST know it."
''Then let US get 1t off our minds"
And taking two of the cups by the
handles he dashed them together
The anger and dismay of the count
ess proved conclusively that she had
not seriously believed the superstition.
1t also loosed any hold the absurd idea
may have had on the minds of the
children.

"Old Lutte Lathers is a great Teller

HE was riding TO town on a load Of
hay with his SoD-in-law the other day
when the roads were so muddy. One
wheel dropped into q chuckhole clear
up TO the axle. the hay slowed. and
Uncle Lutte rolled of and landed on
his head in puddle a foot and a half

China invented gunpowder and pop

kind of f1recracker is made of gunpow-
der rolled up in coarse bamboo paper
with a covering of red paper, red be
ing regarded by the Chinese as bring

tralize the smoke. The Canton dis
trict is the center Of this industry. The
Chinese seem to use frecrackers upon
every occasion-to speed q parting

tivals and birthdays and to dispel evil
and bring good omens. China exports

Each Had a Wife.

His flivver was out Of gas. And it
was out of gas on q country road
seven miles from town, and the rain
was falling In sheets.
Leaving his wife in the protection

middle of the road, holding high In
the air an understood umbrella that if

hide Is to skin the animals head,
cheeks and face. This should be done
while the animal is still suspended.
Always keep the hide free from meat,
as one Of the common faults Of country
hides is the presence Of more or less
meat, usually cheek meat. The next
step in the operation is to lower the
animal on its back and remove the
skin from the legs. Following this, the
hide should be ripped down the belly
from the sticking cut to the tail, max
ing a neat, straight rip, free from
jagged edges. The sides are then
skinned, working forward to the brisk
ct and then back to the inside Of the
hind leg. Lift away the hide with the
free hand and stretch it tightly by
pulling outward and upward against
the knife or wooden stick
Injury Done BY Blood.
Blood is Objectionable on hides, par
ticularly in the summer, as it is like
~ to cause the hair to slip from rot
ting or decomposition when the hides
are packed. This may result in hav-
ing otherwise good hides placed in the
No. 2 grade on the market. Care
should be taken to avoid placing any
hides in the pack until they are free
from animal heat. Allow them to lie
folded from three to five hours or Suf-
ficientIy long to allow the animal heat
to get out of them. IF this is not done,
patches of decomposition may result,
and such hides, though carefully re-
moved, may be reduced in market
value at least one cent or more q
pound.
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation of hides and skins
for market is of great Importance, for
If they are not properly prepared and
shipped they are subject to great de-
terioration- As a rule, hides are fold
ed with the hair side out. 1t is es-
sential to fold In the head and neck
on the body Of the hide, flesh surface
together, and to turn In the tail in q
similar manner Then a narrow fold
ing back the body edges and legs, keep
ing the lines Of the folds parallel.
Stacking Up Hides.
In building up a pack OF hides the
outer edges should be kept a little
higher than the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dissolv-
ing of the salt in the natural moisture
Of the hides, may be absorbed by them.
If the pack is low outside, or is built
slanting like a shed roof, the brine
will seep out, causing the hides to
shrink in weight. In preparing hides
for market use salt that is free from
large Jumps or dirt. Dirty salt will
stain the flesh side of the hides. One
pound of salt to each pound Of the hide
is the rule.
If the hides are to be stored, they
should be placed In cool eco to IS de-
grees Fahrenheit) cellars, from which
the outside air is excluded.
