Barefooted boys and hens form a curious partnership in tho making of a pair of fine gloves. They work together in preparing the ekins for tho hands of the fashionable woman who rushes to the stores every time a new shade of glove is announced. Thousands of dozens of hens’ eggs are used in curing the hides, and thousands of boys are employed to work the skins in clear water by treading on them for several hours. When a woman buys a pair of gloves, she speaks of her purchase as “kids.” If the clerk who sold her the “kid” gloves knew the secrets of the glovemaking business, he might surprise his fair customer by telling her that those beautiful, soft, smooth fitting “kid” gloves came from the shoulders and belly of a 3-weeks-old colt whose neck was slit on the plains of Russia, and whose tender bide was shipped with huge bundles of other colts’ hides to France, where they were made up into “kid” gloves, or he might with equal regard to the trptli tell her that those gloves in the other compartment once darted from tree to tree in South America on the back of a ring tailed monkey. And if ho made the rounds of the store and could distinguish one skin from another ho could point out “kid” gloves made from the skins of kangaroos from Australia; lambs or sheep from Ohio or Spain or England; calves from India, muskrats from anywhere, musk oxen from China and other parts of Asia; rats, cats and Newfoundland puppies. But the little Russian colt, the four footed baby from the plains where the Cossacks live, the colt from the steppes of Siberia, where horses are raised by the thousand, supply the skins which are the favorites at present with the glovemakers. Experts say that the coltskin makes a better, stronger, finer glove than real kidskin, and as the colt is a little fellow only 3 weeks old when he is killed but a small amount of skin can be made into gloves, so that the price is about as high. But, after all, the real kid, the lively infant of the goats which live in France, Switzerland, Spain and Italy, furnishes the best, finest and most expensive gloves, and nearly FO, 000,000 kids are sacrificed every year in order that women and men may cramp their hands in wrinHeless, delicate hued gloves.—Chicago Record. Klotschiessen—What Is It? Under the title of “A Game We Might Play, ” the Marquis of Lome in Good Words puts in a plea for an open air winter pastime in the low countries of northern Europe which has for centuries enjoyed a sort of national reputation. It is a rough sort of golf, played without dubs or holes, is inexpensive and can be played by two single opponents or with two on a side. The article contains a very picturesque description pf a match between two villages in Friesland, at which the writer was present, and conveys a striking impression of » the popularity of the game and of the spirited emulation which it awakens. It is pointed out that in England there are many districts, especially in the east of the island, which are peculiarly well adapted to the game, there being in these parts much flat land where winter makes the ground hard. Wherever these conditions exist, there, we are told, the “klotschiessen,” or “clotshot” game can be played d with advantage.—London News. Dabster Misunderstood. Figg—What kind of a writer is Dabster? Is he possessed of descriptive powers? * Fogg—Unfortunately, yes. Figg—Unfortunately? Fogg—Yes. In his recent sketch of a western girl he spoke of her commercial traveler manner and her generous understanding. The Chicago people allowed that the “commercial traveler manner” was a compliment of which anybody except in the effete east might well be proud, but they suspected that the other characterization was a cheap fling at the size women’s shoes, and after that his writings were a drug in the western market —Boston Transcript Wholesale Elopement.

CM BILL PASSED.' It Gets Through by the Comfortable Vote of 31 to 21. FEATURES OF THE MEASURE. Final Vote Reached at a Eats Hour. Great Interest Manifested In tho Outcome—Senator Mills Defend* tti® Administration In the Hawaiian Matter—Sundry Civil Service Bill Fames the House. Washington, Jan. 26.—The bill pledging the faith of the United States to the construction of the Nicaragua canal passed the senate last night by the decisive vote of 31 yeas to 21 nays. It was the termination of a debate which has lasted since the present session of congress began. It was, moreover, the first realization in either branch of congress of the vast projects, so long and vigorously urged for a canal joining the Atlantic and Pacific, with the United States government standing sponsor for the execution of the work. The final vote was not secured until 6:30 o’clock last night, but noth withstanding the lateness of the hour there was an exceptionally full senate, owing to the interest felt in the culmination of the long discussion. The Nicaraguan minister and many other diplomates interested in the project had seats in the diplomatic galleries throughout the voting on the many amendments and the final question. Provisions of the Bill. The bill, in brief, directs the issue of $70,000,000 of Nicaragua canal bonds. Each of these is to bear the following guarantee: The United States of America guarantees to the lawful holder of this bond the payment by the Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua of the principal of said bonds and the interest accruing thereon, and as it accrues. An additional $30,000,000 of bonds is ■ to be issued without the United States ■guarantee. The total $100,000,000 thns ; issued is to be used in constructing the | interoceanic canal. The secretary of treasury is to have general supervision of the project. A board of 15 directors is to have immediate charge of the work. Os this board the president is to designate- 10 members, no move than two from any one state. The United States j is to receive $70,030,090 of canal company stock in return for guaranteeing the bonds, and is to hold a mortgage lien on all the property of the canal company. The Hawaiian Question Again. Aside from the final debate and vote on the Nicaragua bill, the main interest of the day attached to a very caustic speech by Mr. Mills of Texas, upholding the administration policy in Hawaii and incidentally scoring the sugar trusts declaring that it owned the lands of Hawaii and that New England owned 30,000 shares of the stock. He denounced the present Hawaiian government as an “oligarchy masquerading as a republic. ” v Mr. Vest then introduced a resolution endorsing the policy of President Cleveland toward Hawaii, and reciting that the course of the government should bo to withhold from entangling alliances. This and the resolution under discussion went over to a subsequent day. Home Proceeding*. Washington, Jan. 26.—The sundry civil bill passed yesterday in the shortest time, so far as known, on record. It was under consideration but three days. As passed, the bill carries $39,125,721. Two propositions offered respectively by Mr. Sayres and Mr. Coombs, the former’s to clothe the secretary of the treasury with power to issue United States bonds of such denominations as he should see fit, instead of as now to reissue them of the same denomination, and the latter to retire and cancel the geld certificates and make them nonreceivable for cus ; toms dues after July 1 next, furnished the principal theme of discussion. Mr. Sayres’ proposition was defeated —74 to 87—while that of Mr. Coombs was carried without division. HAYWARD TRIAL. Interest In the Trial Growing — Nine Jurors Have Been Secured. Minneapolis, Jan. 26.—The excitement over the Hayward trial grows instead of diminishing and as the jurybox gradually fills up the public has plenty of rumors to be run to earth in connection with the murder case. It was learned yesterday that a conductor on the Bryanmawr streetcar lines had been summoned two days ago to attend as a witness at the trial. It is stated that he was running a car at the time of the murder and that he can identify Claus Blixt as the man who had been a passenger on his car at abont the time Blixt stated in his confession that he took a car after the murder and rode into the city. The work yesterday only brought forth one juror, making the list swell to nine. . TAYLOR’S WHEREABOUTS. John G. Overton Talk* Confidently But Ha* Not Produced His Mau Yet.
