THE OREGON SCOUT.' A CHANCEY, Publisher UNION OREGON. LEATHER GLOVES. CMM What They are Made Technical Terms In the Trade. Thoro aro several terms in tho glove trado that may bo worth explaining. Tho word "kid" really moans kid leath er, and there can bo littlo doubt that tho bettor grades of what purport to bo such ro mado ot tho cuticle of tho Infant goat. About twlco a year somo newspa per rovlves tho old yarn that kid gloves mro mado of rat-skin and tells how tho 3-ats aro hunted for that purposo in tho fiewors of Paris. Tho only foundation thoro is for tho story is that somo years ago experiments woro tried with rat wklns. Tho results woro unfavorable, mo largest skins boing too small for any but a child's glove, and tho pelt too ton dor to bo of any service. "Chovrotte," a term used to distin guish some gloves of a drossy character for street wear, is both French and Eng lish, and has several liberal meanings. It is from "chovre," a goat, and we aro justified in expecting a chovrotte glovo to bo of young goat-skin, in distinction from tho heavy goat gloves used for rough work. Great progress has boon made, howovor, in tanning sheep and lamb-skins in recent years, and they are now rendered so elegant and so durable as to bo practically indistinguishable from goat loathor in looks or wear. until within a fow years "dogskin gloves" woro always mado of lamb or goatskin, novor of tho real canine cuti cle Lately, howovcr, the dilllcultlos of dressing have boon overcome, and now excellent gloves aro made of real dog kln, though tho quantity is not very largo. Only tho finer grades of skin aro suited to streot wear, tho heavier skins being dressed in oil for hard usage. Glovos called "castor" havo had quite history. Tho word indicates tho skin of the hoavor, hut tho best Kronch cas tor gloves wero formerly made of thin door skin, and wero soft, durable and oxponsivo. Lattorly shaved lamb or Hheop skin was used, and the goods wero iinsatl'sfactory. These wero displaced by American castors mado of antelope skins from our Westorn plains. They are unwed with silk and aro handsome and durable Of late years a new leather lins been brought out called Mocha eas ier. It is tho skin of the Egyptian Hheop, and is very thin, tough and durable, and has a rich, velvety uppear anco. Colt skin Is a new comer for glovo pur poses, and is an exceedingly smooth, lino leather, suitable for In or out door -wear. Such expressions as "Craven Tan," "Cls-Atlantie," "Oaut do Luxe," trad others, are tho trade-marks of par ticular makers, and aro indicative of "Special designs. Sfon's OutlTttor. 4 TO CURE FROWNING. A Dad Habit That Miikim tlio 1'ncc Look Ten Your Older. A great many earnest thinkers, espe cially thosojpf a nervous temperament, fojl in the habit of scowling when they road, write or talk sorlously. This causoB two Httlo perpendicular linos to plow in botwoon tho eyes. You will notice these lines in portraits of tho first Napoleon, lllsmarck, the late Em peror William, Whlttlor and thousands of others. Tho oireot, as of all wrinkles and distortions, Is to make the face ten years older. Now, this does not so much matter in iv man, to whom good looks are of small concern, but it is a blemish on a girl's face. This habit of scowling or frown ing Ib n habit almost Impossible to cor rect, onco formed, and It is a habit formed by a great many young people. Evon in sloop their brows will be drawn together in this little frown that Is an alder and abetter of age, A smooth, white brow Is one of tho (rreatost attractions in a girl's face, and it Is u shame that more attention is not paid to the correction of the had habit. It is not ho dlllUmlt if taken at the be ginning. Practice speaking without moving any thing but the Hps, and avoid jralslng and depressing tho eyebrows whllo laughing or talking. A calm and oven tone and avoidance of tits of temper will save many a wrlnklo. If tho lines aro already thoro It is sometimes possible to remove them by mechanical means. A bright, studious girl found herself tho victim of this scowl, which had already mado two lino hair lines in her white brow. She set herself to work to euro the habit by set ting her mirror before her face when Hho read, wrote or studied; but as this distracted her attention from her work, Hho finally placed a ribbon band tightly across her brow, tying it in a knot at tho back of her head, und at night Bho ttlopt in tho baud. After several months the littlo hair lines disappeared from her pretty fore lieud, and she is quite cured of the ills louring habit. Hut tho best plan is to avoid theso marks. Don't frown. Check yourself and have your friends check you. Llko nil bad habits It will become less and less dl tile ult to overcome with each ef fort, and in the end it will disappear en tirely. tloldeu Days. A Milliner Muiln of Sim lie Skin. A Kansas City lady has a most unique banner. It is as beautiful as It is unique, and is prized by its owner for Its beauty and oddity. It Is made of tho skin of an enormous rattlesnake, with a back ground of plush. Tho snake skin was wmt the lady by a friend who lives In Texas. It is beautifully tanned, tho back being colored und covered with wpoU resembling small scales, which on tho background of plush look for all tho world llko mosaic. Tho skin Is over (lvo foot lung without the head and tall, and fourteen rattles denoted its age, In tho widest part tho skin is nine inches in width, thus showing that in life tho rightful owner of tho ttkln which now adorns tho lady's purler must have been uii ugly customer. A letter which pre ceded tho present states that twits mudo of ruttlosuako skins aro much worn by tin voutitr ladles of Texas, and nro u cotnimnl nrtlclo of u hollo's apparel. 1 Chicago JleruliL THR PACIFIC COAST.

The I.ofct Art lt lUrovnrrd at l.;ist by ai l'lttHliurcli Man. Tho art of welding copper was well known to tho ancients; but tho secret by which two pieces of copper can be joined so as to present as perfect u union as that mado in welding iron was by somo accident lost, and many mil lions havo since been spent in resusci tating it from oblivion. Tho lost art is stated to havo been at last rediscovered by Mr. James Burns, of Pittsburgh. Tho economic value of tho process lios in tho ftiet that, ovn by tho best methods now known to metallurgists, coppor scrap can not bo economically utilized bocauso of tho dilliculty iu wolding a mass of pieces into one body. Mr. Burns recently demonstrated be fore a critical audience that his pro cess is not a more sham. After llatton ing a rod of copper throo eighths of an. inch in diameter, he formed a discon nected ring. Tho usual "scarfing" pro cess forming a union by moans of au obliquo joint followed : and then the operator, after sprinkling a certain powder over tho piece, proceeded to make a weld, which, when cooled, showed n perfect union. Ho noxt took: tho ring, which measured two inches iu diameter, and submitted it to a. strain until its longest width had beoit extended threo-quurters of an inch, its shorter width being narrowed to a cor responding degree, a circlo boing thus changed into an ollipsis. This was a moro sovoro test than iron is oxpeeted to stand, and demonstrated conclusive ly that tho union of tho t.vo ends of tho rod was not tho moro "brazing" of. tho coppersmith. Mr. Burns' discovery opens up a now field in working coppor, and will in all probability eauso great changes iu somo linos of manufacture. At presont, ta make a copper ring for titling over u joint, or making a gasket or joint, it had to bo cut round out of solid plate, causing groat wtisto. To ropair broken or dofeetivo pipes, brass had to bo used; and should an intense heat striko tho brazed parts afterwards, tho brass would molt and ruin tho piece. But bv tho Burns process tho economic uso of coppor is assured, and coppor scrap, now worth but ono-third its woight of now coppor, would bo as high in valuo as ingot coppor. It is said that tho in gredients which form tho powder used by Mr. Burns in wolding aro very choap. Chambers' .Journal. Origin of a Famous Poem. Mr. James E. Murdoch, tho veteran actor, recently rolatod this story to a party of Philadelphia frionds: "Somo time ago 1 was at a meeting of a club or society of which Dr. Oliver Wondoll Holmes Is an liiiluontiul member.
