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

THE FORGOTTEN FAN.
A. Fulthrul Account of Its Sadden llut Ill
Timed Itecoverj-.
They had just three minutes to catch
their car, nnd woro at tho gnto when
Mrs. Suburb hnlted and said:
"There, I'vo eomo away without my
fun, won't you run back and got it,
dear? I can't get along without it,
and" but Younglovo was already
bounding up tho stairs threo stops at a
time.
"Its right there on tho dressing
case,'' Mrs. Younglovo screeched afUyj
him. "liurry or we'll lose the car.'-
Half a minuto later Younglove puts
his head out of a window and says:
"Whero did you say it was?"
"Right thero on tho dressing-case."
"I can't tind it there."
"I'm sure i loft it there."
"Well, it's not thero now."
"Look in the green box in tho loft
hand corner of tho upper drawer. Per
haps 1 didnH take it out, but I hurry,
George; it's timo for tho car."
"7 can't find it in tho drawer," cries
George half a minuto lator.
"Well, that's strange. It must bo
there."
"I turned every thing out of tho bo.t
and its not thero."
"O, well; look in tho bluo box ia
tho next drawer thon, and do hurryl
Wo'ro late now."
"It's not in tho bluo box!"
"Dear, dear! Whoro can it be? See
if 1 loft it on tho bod. 1 must havo it,

"Well, you needn't take my head off
if it isn't. Look on tho mantel. I'm

WELDING COPPER.
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

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. Upon
tho ovonlng of my attendaneo a dis
cussion arose utnongst t-ovoral of tho
party, including Dr. Holtnos, in rogard
to tho themes upon which a poet usual
ly writes, tho gonoral opinion boing
that tho poetic Hold Is limited. 'I do
not think that is so.' said Dr. Tint
'I beliovo for want of a hotter subject I
could wrlto a poom upon n basket of
chips.' Tho other mon doubted this
assertion, and ono suld, speaking for
tho party: -Well, I toll you what wo
will do. Thoro is that old chaise that
has been down at tho wheelwright's
shop for many a year. If you can
wrlto ti poom on that wo will becomoi
convorted to your idea." Dr. Holmos
accopted tho ohallongo and nt the next
mooting of tho olub ho read to tho
astonished motnbors tho 'Doacon's
Mtistorploco; 0,. Tho Wondorful Ono
Uosa blmy.' "-Phlludelphiu Lodger.
