There is a big difference be

the best materials and workman

cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant

rants and is alleged to have vic
timized parties at Weldon, Tu
pelo, McCrory and Brinkley,
from which point he jumped to
Ft. Smith. His work is said to
have heen responsible for the in

expect to show their innocence,
now that he has been captured.
Porter is said to own a house
and lot at Sulphur Rock, but was
unable to make his bond of $1000.

I—-—
FROM RAT SKINS?
ne Pair Was Ever Made and
t Was Very Small—Inter
preting Glove Lore.
A report comes from Copenha
gen that a great rat hunt has been
organized there, and that the
skins of many thousands of the
victims are to be used in making
gloves. If the rat hunters in the
Danish capital cherish any such
hopes, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
they are doomed to disappoint
ment.
Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves fit for commerce. The be
lief that a valuable raw material
is being neglected here survives
only in the minds of the inexpert.
The glove maker knows much
better. A Norwegian merchant
once came to England and in
formed a well known glove maker
that he had collected over 100,000
rat skins and was prepared to re
ceive offers for them. lie was
fully convinced that the skins
were suitable for glove making.
But the manufacturer found that
the largest skin was only some
six inches long, and he held up a
kid skin for the smallest size of
glove, a child’s, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was
to cut such a glove out of a rat
skin.
Then he took up the smallest
kid skin for a lady’s glove, 11 inch
es long, and when he asked how
that was to be cut out of rat skin
the Norwegian merchant laughed
at the idea <and went away disap
pointed. The best offer he got
for those skins, which he had col
lected with so much care, was five
shillings a hundredweight from a
man who was willing to boil them
down for glue.
A famous glove making firm haB
a collection of curiosities relating
to the trade, and one of them is
the largest pair of gloves ever
made out of a rat skin. The be
lief that such skins could be made
into gloves was laid before the
managers so confidently that they
resolved to put it to the trial, and
they ordered a number of skins of
the largest rats which could be
found in Grimsby. But the rat is
a fighting animal, and bears the
marks of many battles on his
body, and it was found that the
skins were so scarred and torn
that it was with the utmost diffi
culty that perfect pieces large
enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten
skins had been used, a pair of
gloves was cut and made, and
they are retained in the collection
to this day. But they are so small
that they would only fit the small
est of small boys. Thus it was
shown that, however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained, they
would offer no advantage to the
glove maker. The rabbit skin is
equally useless for the purpose,
and humane people may also dis
miss from their minds the fear
that the skins of pet dogs are
made into gloves. The dog skin
glove of which we used to hear is
made of nothing but the skin of
the Cape goat.
Cuban Cave-Fishes.
An interesting addition lias re
cently been made to the Natural
History museum, South Kensing
ton, London, by the receipt of
specimens of some of the blind
cave-fishes of Cuba. The special
interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with
salt-water forms which exist in
the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh water fishes, as is the case
with Amblyopsis and its allies of
the great cave of Kentucky.
There can be little doubt that the
Cuban eaves in which the blind
fishes are found were formerly in
communication with the sea, and
that the ancestors of these fishes
entered the caves from the adja
cent ocean.
Children Labeled for Traveling.
The practice of labeling chil
dren and sending them across the
Atlantic, addressed as parcels,
would appear to be getting rather
general. A number of children so
labeled have passed through
Queenstown from time to time
lately. From the Dominion liner
New England, which has arrived
there from Boston, was landed a
little boy not quite nine years old.
He was addressed to his uncle at
Kilkenny. He had traveled from
Chicago unaccompanied, and had
been transferred just as a parcel
would be by the various forward
ing companies through whose
hands be passed.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano!
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal.
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
