These horses are natives of Russia where horses are so plentiful and pastures in the main so poor that it does not pay the farmers to raise them. Hundreds of thousands of these horses are killed every year and used in all branches of the leather business.

Very few are of any value to the furrier, and only the flatter skins with light weight pelts can be used. Skins from the ponies of European Russia are those generally used by furriers. The hair developed upon the Siberian pony being to heavy, long and coarse. During the summer season the hair upon the ponies is shorter, brighter and the pelt softer and more pliable. These skins are those sought for by furriers.

The ponies are killed when a few weeks to about a year old. The most vaulable being the flat glossy water marked skins. There is a great variety in qualities of ponies. Skins may be water-marked but have long coarse hair, others may be flat and glossy, some may be flat and dull. An experts advise is necessary to determine the value of the different skins.

Dressing of ponies skins is an art. The number of fur dressers capable of doing satisfactory work is comparatively small. There is but one dyer in the world whose work is gencrally accepted as being the best. To have the best when you buy your "Pony Coat" be sure of your fur merchant and buy only of a reliable establishment, as it is easy to deceive with ponies.

SENATE OF LILLIPUT. The Way Dr. Johnson Outwitted the House of Commons. Parliamer tary bodies were long great stronghold of resistance to the press. Reporters were strictly barred from them, and reports of their proceedings were sternly punished.

It was among the triumphs for the right and for common sense which Franklin achieved that he caused the chamber of the provincial assembly of Pennsylvania to be thrown open to publicity. Nevertheless no reports were allowed of either the Continental congress or the constitutional convention. Dr. Johnson's violation of the cherished privacy of the British house of commons is a classic story. He reported Its debates without entering its sacred precincts, and in order to escape the severe penalties of the law he reported them without mentioning the body or any of its members by nume.

up an imaginary "senate of Lilliput" and giving fictitious names to leading members of parllament, be edified for years the readers of the journal which then boasted the "largest circulation" In England. Receiving a few scanty notes of what was going on at Westminster, he elaborated them Into a brilliant spread. He was, indeed, the illustrious founder of the immortal craft of rewriters. His discerning readers came to know not only that the senate of Lilliput was the house of commons, but that "Blefscu" for France and "Mildendo" for London; that "sprugs" meant pounds, that "Nardac" was the Duke of Newcastle, and so ou. What his notes lacked his imagination readily supplied.

Never was the eloquence of parliament more brilliant than in Johnson's reports of the debates, in which, he admitted, he took care that the Whig dogs got the worst of it, although Pitt bimself must have felt mollified when he read the wonderful outburst attributed to him by Johnson on "the atrocious crime of being a young man." It is the best remembered of all Pitt's speeches, and it was written by JohnSOn "in a garret in Exeter Globe. The Japanese Cook. The Japanese are a most imitative and observant people and copy everything they- see with minute fidelity. Newport man engaged a Japanese valet, who was very attentive and satisfactory. His duties rarely took him into the kitchen, but when he had a chance of watching the cook he did so with extraordinary interest.

The cook caught a severe chill and left somewhat suddenly. The lady of the house was in despair, as she could not replace her. At last the valet announced dimdently that he thought he could cook a little, and the mistress gladly agreed to give him a trial. The first thing he started on was the toes. He took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in a bath of hot mustard and water.

The lady wanted to know what on earth he was doing. He replied that he saw the cook do that when she was peeling the potatoes, and nothing would persuade him that was not a necessary part of the York Times. Electrocution Is Death Producing ALBANY, N. Dec. 13.

-Prison officials in this state will not lend themselves to any experiment which seeks to revive a man executed in the electric chair, such as has been under discussion in New Jersey. Superintendent C. V. Collins, of the state prison department, said today that he would consider such an experiment illegal in this state and permission would have to be secured from the legislature before he would consent to any attempt to revive a man after he had been electrocuted, in order to prove the theory that the electric current does not kill and it is the physician's autopsy knife that really causes death. Dr.

A. Spitzka, professor of general anatomy at the Jefferson medical college, of Philadelphia, who has attended many of the electrocutions in this state, says that a man subjected to the electric current in the way employed by E. P. Davis, state electrician, could never be revived. "My observations are based upon thirty-one electrocutions in the last six and a half years at Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton prisons and Trenton state penitentiary.

Of these, twenty-five cases came to an autopsy at my hands. "The physician charge of an electrocution observes the respiratory movements of the prisoner and signals to the electrician at a moment when the lungs contain the minimum quantity of air. At the moment that the contact is made criminal's body stiffens in a state of muscular spasm, restrained by the straps. When the current is interrupted the body collapses completely. An examination by the physicians utterly fails to elicit any signs of life.

Occasionally there is heard a turbulent, in accelerated heart beat, but apparently limited to the auricular chambers of the heart. In only two cases was there any respiratory this was limited to a single contraction of the thoracic respiratory i muscles. "The undoubtedly painless and instantaneous."
