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 sev- eral hours. When a woman buys a pair of gloves she speeks of ner purchase as “kids.” If the clerk who sold her the “kid” gloves knew the secrets of the glove-making business he might surprise his fair cus- tomer by telling her that those beautiful, soft, smooth-fitting ‘kid’ gloves came from the shoulders and belly of a three- week-old colt, whose neck was slit on the skin Is taken off. After every hair 1s rub- bed from the skins and all the fiesh has been scraped away they are placed in clear running water* to remove the lime which has soaked In.

They are all jolly, good fellows. When they used to talk about “taking a reef in the keelson” and “belaying the cathead” and “brailing the mizzen truck to the rudder pintles” I list- ened in a guileless way until a cheery old man next door to the room where those pilots meet told me better. And by and by they made room for me in the little | circle about the radiator and talked just wes, why she'd complain to the captain, and then there would be a row.” “Don't talk to me about women,” said he of the long jacket. ‘he men ask just as many questions. If you meet a prize fighter on board a steamer he wants to know how this and that slugger are train- ing, and if it is likely that he can make a match with So-and-So, and what his chances are.
