When a master workman in a far. manufactory Is cutting up skins, he is' literally cutting money. Skius OI1CU passed for frontier money, but their value Is now much greater than in the early days, and it would be less costly to cut a garment from ten dollar bills than to cut it from some skins. The cutting is quite an interesting feature of the work. To prepare a mink or sable, for example, the skin must be slashed into strings, narrow plecesmore or less irregular in shape, which are afterward sewed together. There may be a thousand pieces in a single cloak, the new and lcnut:til skins being literally cut to pieces be fore they are manufactured. The ob ject of this Is to lengthen the skius. The sable, for example, say two feet in length, will be drawn out to four feet and all Its markings preserved, so that it looks like a very long, but well proportioned, skin. The original skin Is so cut to pieces that it may nil be "matched" again In the elongated shape. World's Work. A Wild Ride. A peasant was recently gathering dry wood In a forest near Kastamunl when a bear suddenly appeared before him. The frightened man sought ref uge in the branches of a tree, which broke, and the peasant fell at the feet of the bear. Bruin was quite overcome with surprise, so much so that the peasant, who preserved hfs presence of mind, was instantly astride the beast, using his ears as bridle. The bear tried ineffectually to throw him and then, starting on a wild run, issu ed from the forest and approached a village. The rider shouted loudly for help, and In a few minutes the whole population turned out armed with guns and scythes. A crack shot fired s bullet into the bear's head, and the peasant was able to leave his mount unhurt. Kastamunl (Turkey) Official Journal. Ktw Light on an Old Subject. The man who had been kicked by n mule and was quoted as saying he "considered the source" was speaking of it afterward to some of the other fellows. "I wouldn't care," he said, "if there hadn't been so much fuss made over It, as if it was a bright thing for any body to say, but the honest truth is that I never said anything of tbe kind. When you're kicked by a mule, you're not in a frame of mind for consider ing things. What I really said was: 'You derned old beast! If I had a gun and you were somebody else's mule and It wasn't against the law to shoot Inside the corporation I'd blow your derned old head off, dern your" Chi cago Tribune. A Meat Gcatle Toaefc.
