CHAMOIS SKIN IS RARE.
What Ofton Passes For It la Really the
Hide of Sheep. •»
The article known as chamois comes
under the head of articles known by
names that do not In every way de
scribe them. A large New York firm,
rather than have Its patrons think they
were getting one thing when In reality
they were getting another, lately de
voted a good deal of advertising space
In dally papers to an explanation of
the trade term and Its difference from
that of the geuuine article.
The chamois, runs the explanation,
Is a goatlike type of antelope with
small horns Inhabiting the Pyrenees.
Alps, Carpathians and the mountains
of western Asia.
There was u time chamois hide was
used to make "shaminy" skins, but
the chamois goat or antelope is prac
tically extinct. Now all the chamois
skins are sheepskins. When the skin
Is split so as to make two skins the
Uesh side Is used to make "chamois."
All washable chamois skins are un
tunned sheepskins. In this connection
It might bo well to remark that doe
skin gloves are not tuade of doeskins,
for the American nntelope, whose hide
was doeskin, is as rare as the dodo or
the buffalo.
The making of the so called chamois
skins Is a rather interesting operation.
Along the shore of Long Island and be
yond Islip you are apt to be assailed,
if the wind Is from the south, by au
odor which reminds you of chamois.
It is not the odor of the skin, how
ever, but the pungent smell from a
fish oil factory where tons of men
haden are boiled for the oil the fish
contains. All sheepskins used in the
making of chamois leather, so called,
are treated with nothing but this fish
oil. The skins are Immersed lu vats of
the oil and are permitted to remain
there for a month or more. Then they
are wrung out and hung up to dry,
turning meanwhile a yellow color.
If a white or cream shade Is desired
the skins are bleached in the sun.—

THE CAMERA AS A DETECTIVE.
It* Keen Eye See* Thing* the Micro
scope Cannot Discover.
The camera has been frequently In
strumental In the detection of crimi
nals. In eases of forgery photography
is Invaluable, for there Is no forger
In the world clever enough to baffle Its
detective skill.
An Interesting proof of this was pro
vided a few years ago in the case of a
forged will. An enlarged photograph
revealed the penciled lilies over which
the names of the testator and witnesses
had been written, although no trace of
them was visible through the micro
3eoj>e. This Is one of the |ieculiarities
of the camera, that it brings to light
marks which are invisible through a
mlcroscoie, just as it has been known
to reveal the signs of measles and
smallpox several days before they be
came visible to the naked eye.
When a forged signature is suspected
the method adopted is to take [holo
graphs of the genuine and supi>osed
false signatures, magnify each a hun
dredfold or more and compare the re
sults. I'ndvr this careful test the slight
est discrepancy becomes exaggerated
out of close resemblance to the signa
ture, and every sign of hesitancy—for
few forgers can write a counterfeit sig
nature with perfect ease and fluency—
stands revealed.
A forged banknote, however minutely
and faithfully the original may have
been copied, cannot deceive the eye of
the camera, which will show not only
the slightest deviation from the genu
ine note, but also any difference in the
texture of the paper used. In a re
cent case, where a sectiou of a check
had been removed and auother piece in
the form of pulp substituted with In
finite skill, the camera revealed the
fraud at once, showing exactly where
the new and old papers were joined.

I.ittle Gwpunie felt It her duty to en
tertain a man who had been called in
to do some carpenter work and began
by asking if he had a papa and
mamma. He said yes. Then she asked
if he had any brothers or any sisters,
lie replied by saying be had three half
brothers and three half sisters. After
looking at him for a moment intently
she said:
"Are you the only whole one there
was?"'
Our Immigrants.
The immigrants who have been laud
ed at Ellis island have been of a higher
type than those of an earlier time. Of
course there has been a wonderful
change in their dress. When I first
I went Into the work it was like going
to the opera, the native costumes we
used to see wheuever a shipload of im
migrants landed. Now there are very
few national costumes to be seen.—

| Economical rtoaBking,
The following will commend Itself u
an Inexpensive way of roasting s small
piece of mutton or beef without heat
ing the oven:
Place in a saucepan large enough to
hold the meat chosen about a cupful of
baccn dripping, lard of margarine.
Make this hot, place meat Into It arid
brown well on both sides.' Than torn
gas Jet down very low and allow It t?
cook until done. Three undivided
lamb chops done in this way require
one teaspoonful of cold water added to
the dripping before the chops are pot
In or the meat might burn. But
does not need tlis addition of water, as
It is moist la Itself. The chop* uke
about fifteen minutes to cook, one and
one-half pounds topside of beef a little
longer. When the meat is done put it
on the platter, pour away some of the
dripping ami then make the gravy to
tho usual wuy.
1'arsiilps, onions and other vegeta
bles may bo roasted In the same way..

Voltaire's Rator-t.
That famous politician, orator and
man of fashion, the fourth earl. of
Chesterfield, was on one occasion , at a
grand assembly In France wtyere Vol»L
talre wus one of the guests. Suddenly
the Trench writer accosted his lord
ship with the words:
"My lord, I know you are a Judge.
Which are tho more beautiful, the Eng
lish or the French ladles?"
"Upon my word." replied Cheet«T:
Held, with his usual presence of mind,
"I am no Judge of paintings!"
Some time afterward, says a biogra
pher, Voltaire, being iu London, hap
pened to be at a nobleman's party with
Chesterfleld. A lady In the company
prodigiously rouged directed her whole
discourse to Voltaire and engrossed
his conversation. Chesterfield came up,
tapped him on the arm and said:
"Sir, take care that you ure not cap
tivated."
"My lord," promptly reulled tbfM
French wit, "I scorn to be taken by eu
English craft under French colore." [
WORDS OF CHEER.
Words of cheer are word« of
help; words of gloom are word*
of harm. There is a bright side
as well as a dark tide to every
phase of life and to every hour.
If we speak of the bright side^
wo bring the brightness into
prominence; if we speak of the
dark side we deepen it* shadow*.
It is in our power to help or to
hinder every person with whom
we come in contact. Which do
you do?

HEY'RE "HIPRESS"
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they're so different from
the ordinary boot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
"HIPRESS" Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they're the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
