AN OLD NEW JER8EY SCHOOL-
HOUSE.
The pupil of today would think his
opportunities very great if he could
see the school equipment of a hundred
years ago. A Morris county (N. J.)
school of that period is thus described
in an old letter of one of its attend ‘
nuts.
The building was constructed of
logs. and instead of glass for window.
sheepskins were stretched over the
apertures made by setting off an occa-
sional‘iog. The windows but one mar. ‘
Itmthey prevented pupils from being
interrupted in their study by what was
going on outside. The time was rem
lated by an hourglass. and the pupils
drank water from a tumbler made of
a cow' a born or from a guard shell
in spite of these differences of equip.
ment. the schools of a century ago re
sampled those of today in one notable ,
respect-Ahoy had for the most partf

by no means what you would call of
an aesthetic nature. Their his, as re-
solved in the rough state. is covered
with alr and bristles, which must be
first reinovod.;ln orderl lotto this prop-
erly. the hide is thrown into a vat of
warm soap water. and left there for at
least three days. At the end of that
period. if found to be in a suitable con
dition, it is drawn out and run through
a queer looking machine. This appar-
owlng to the great velocity of the roll-
ers. The largest one. a massive affair.
revolves rapidly from right to loft,
becomes soft and loose. in a day or
posits direction from left to right, and
unylke the first, is covered with small
knives. These knives are not visible.
owing to theg rout velocity of the roll-
er. it making over 1,800 revolutions a
minute. it takes but a second to run a
kids through this press. The operat-
or. a strong. determined-looking indiv.
idual, seizes the. skin firmly with both
hands. swings it around once or twice
and then slips it dexteriously between
the great rollers. There is a muffled
souudmnnd presto! the skin falls out
devoid of all flesh. The blue is then
placed in a vat of lime water, where.
under the action of the lime, the hair
becomes soft and loose. In a day or
so it is again taken out and sent to
the press. This time the third and last
roller, which is covered with small
round stones. is used. These stones
remove the hair in the some way as
the knives did the flesh. The hides
are then given a thorough washing or
Hopping out. For this purpose. a huge
wooden, barrel-shaped apparatus culi-
cd a "hater" is used. Within this batcr
are long projections made of hard
wood. The skin rests upon these,
while the wheels revolve as sodn as
the proper angle ls reached the hide
slides off and falls with great force to
the bottom. Here it is once more pick-
ed up. carried to the top and dropped
again. Thus the operation is contin-
ued until the hide becomes perfectly
clean and spotless. it is then ready
to he tanned. Great vats of dull, deep-
colorcd liquid are now utilized. Tho
making of this liquid is a process by
itself. The bark. either oak or nem-
lock, is first broken up and ground in.
to line bits and thou conveyed into
huge tanks called “leeches." Those
tanks contain about thrcofourths bark
and one-fourth old liquid. or, in other
words, liquid which has become weak
owing to long usage. The mixture
sleeps for a number of days. long
enough at any rate for the liquid to
regain its strength. if is then strained
and allowed to run into different vats.
The old liquid in turn floWs back to the
“leeches." in this manner the old Is
madc new and the new old. The next
stop is called “shaving.” This consists
in touring on the edges of the hide and
making the surfaces smooth. A small.

satisfactorily. Each hide must be
gone ovcr again by hand. This is call-
