_ WALBUS iLEATHER.
. Used for Making “heels for Polishing-u
. . Other Polishing Leathers.
Walrus leather is used for making
, buffer wheels, for polishing brass, steel
and silver. It has ,a peculiar, coarse
grain that holds the emery or polishing
powder well. It takes about five years
to tan a. walrus hide. Some walrus
leather is made in'this country, but the
bulk of‘it is imported from England.
Leather made from the hide of a cub
walrus would be about half an inch
thick. The hide of an old bull might
be two inches thick. The value of the
I leather depends upon its thickness.
. Half-inch would sell for about 50 cents
a. pound; one-and a-‘half-inch would be
worth $1.40 a pound; and walrus leath—
er, from one-and-five-eights to one-
ind-threc-quartm- inches thick, smooth
ind well-trimc med. would be worth $2 a
leather
would cast about $300.
Walrus wheels are made in a variety
if shapes, depending upon the work
on which they are used. They are
made with a flat face, grooved, cone—
shaped, or of any shape that may be
desired, and by cementing layers of
leather together wheels of any dezired
thickness are made. Walrus leather
as also used for valve packings.
Bull necks are used, also, for polish-
:ng purposes. Three-quarter—inch bull
necks sell at about 50 cents a pound.
Leather made from the hide of the sea
lion is used for polishing purposes.
This is a smoother and softer leather,
used for softer metals. Sea lion leath-
er of an average thickness costs about
50 cents a pound. Built-up wheels of
any thickness are also made of sea
lion and of bull neck leather.
Still of the. Same Opinion.
Mrs. M. , a well known Boston-
.an, who talks very wittily and plays
very well, once asked Prof. Blacken—
stein what. made him so thoughtful.
“Madam,” he replied, “I am wonder-
.ng how it is you can make the piano
:alk so divinely and yourself so foolish-
2y.” .
“Ah, well,” retorted Mrs. M. ,
“you see the piano 'knows it has me
to listen to it, whereas I know I have
only you to listen to me, which makes
the difference.”
“I pray you,” said the professor,
"play again. I like your playing best.”

WARDEN SAGl-Z’S BEAUTIFICATION OF

Some crimihologists who have given
that part of the subject much atten-

ms, and argued in favor of making
:uch places so gruesome in appearance
:hat the picture would be a warning
to the incipient malcfactor, and one
which might arrest the development of
criminal tendencies. It is evident that
Warden Sage of Sing Sing is of a dif-
ferent opinion. and in his. eiforts to
beautify the institution which is in
iis charge he has robbed it in a meas-
u'c of the horrors which always attach
to such places.
Some months before contract labor
in prisons was abolished, and when
idleness and consequent insubordina-
lion, disease and insanity seemed to
stare the officials in the face, a new
Duilding was begun, which is now fin-
lshcd and ready to be put to the uses
for which it was erected. It was
planned, constructed, decorated" and
iitted by convict labor. From the un—
skilled Workmen who broke and trans-
ported the stone to the artist who di-
Tected the handsome ornamentation,
[he accountants who kept record of the
time employed in the various parts, the
mechanics who raised and furnished
the building, all were the black and
gm y stripes of the convict.
0n the southern end, over the bath
department, is the unique art school,
where convicts who {ave talent in
that direction are taught to draw,
model in clay, carve and paint by con-
vict instructors. >
Some line drawings and other works
of art have been turned out by the
convicts who have been admitted to
the school, and the oflicc of the Super-
lntcndent of State r'risgns at Albany and
the Warden’s office in the Sing Sing
Prison contain artistic specimens of
furniture which were made in the “art
department” of the prison since the
school has been in operation.

CON V ICT- MADE ORGAN.
One of the convicts has built. unaid-
K], two organs, one each for the Pret—
Tstant and Catholic chapels. lie vol—
intee'red to build them, and said that
they would cost the State nothing but
the material. The proposition was
ooked upon with doubt and misgiving, '
because of the intricate and difficult
class of work required, and the con-
vict was asked to draw plans of the
argans which he proposed to build.
This he did. The plans were submit-
ted to the best organ builders in the
:ountry, and were pronounced good in
ivory respect. A room was then fitted
up for the organ builder, where he
worked industriously. He had no out-
side assistance, and the co'st of the ma-
:erial for the two instruments was less
than $500. ,
Practical Missionary Work.
Five hundred invitations were sent
out for a novel reception by the Wis-
:onsin Audubon Society awhile ago.
Dne of the directors lent a large, hand-
some house, and six milliners were in-
vited to send hats. showing no egrets
Dr birds. Ostrich plumes, quills and
zocks’ tails were admitted. Twenty-_
five other milliners applied for space,
‘everybody” in the city went, and a.
great many hats were sold. The affair
was, of course, described in the news-
papers, and people who had never be-~
fore heard of the Audubon So’ciety be-_
tame interested in its object. The Mil-
waukee milliners, too, came into a “re-
alizing sense” of the fact that the
“best” people are really down on wear-

SHéTRIED‘TO UNDO HANN‘A. '
Mrs. Juhn E. Griffith Entered Ohio Poli-
ties to Defeat the Senator.
Mrs. John E. Griffith was in Ohio
politics during Senator Hanna’s fight
for reelection. Her political career
was brief, exciting, and so far as her
cause 'was concerned, useless. Mrs.
Griffith’s husband is a Representative
from Marysville, and notwithstanding
the instructions of his constituents, he
decided to vote against Senator Hanna.
Later he seemed convinced that this
course would be wrong, and so joined
the Hanna column. ’Twas then Mrs.
Griffith jumped into the arena. She
kidnapped, threatened,
but to no purpose. Griffith resented
ihe persuasion that had beeen attempt-
ed on his wife, and came out in a pub-
lic card declaring it his intention to
rotc against Mr. Hanna notwithstand‘
:tituents in the Convention that nom-
nated him. _
But eventually, when the Legislature
fame to a ballot, Griffith voted for
Janna, Mrs. Griflith holding firm in
nor opposition to the last. .
This affair recalls the memorable
Dendleton—Paync contest a few years
lgo. when John R. McLean was a
lpirit in the fight. It was said that
nest of the deals for wavering Legis-
ators then were ,made with their
wives. It is a remarkable fact that
after the fight some of the Legislators
vho had lived all their lives in com-
parative poverty became possessed o:
uddeniy acquired wealth.

Fell heir to an estate in England, and
she, too, moved into a more imposing
'esidence. A Legislator who is said to
iave been approached with a proposi-
don from one of the opposing elements
11 the fight, said :—
“I cannot talk about it; you must see
by wife.”
. His wife was seen, and the family is
mid to have‘been well to do ever since.
Heretofore, it is said, the price of a
vote in the Ohio Legislature for ‘the
United States Senatorship has been
35,000, but the advent of women in the
political contest has been the means
if raising the limit to $7,000.
)NE TRAIT OF YANKEE INVENTIONS.
What a Frenchman Noted in Traveling
Through Our‘Country.
L tour of inspection in the States was
ount-ry. “I shall report to my Gov-
rrnment,” says he “that the biggest
hinge in America are the little things.
the French people are experts in dm
w saving what average families in the
ltates throw away; But Americans
we, on the other hand, experts in in-
!lstrial economy. They make money
iy saving wastage in business and lose
some of it by Wastage in domestic
eonomy. The attention paid to small
letailil in big works is amazing to
he; I have visited some establishments
there I believe that the profits are

example, I saw a little grindstone in
iperation at a big works automatically
iharpening lathe and 45" planer tools.
this machine costs probably as much
is a. hundred of our ordinarygrind-
atones cost, but I see that it automat-
oally grinds'all the tools for three
sundred high—priced machanics, and
t only works a few hours each day.
Eh. skilled mechanics in our country
'quuently stop their regular work to
grind their own tools, and then they
lo it imperfectly. In the States tools
ire all accurately ground to the best
shape by the machine, so that they
lo more and better work on this ac-
count in a. given time. I believe that
