OLDEN TIME CHIMNEY SWEEPING.
How It W.-vi Carried on Forty Years
Ago?Talk With a Sweep.
"Chimney sweeps long since found their
occupations gone," said a dealer in fur
naces, who makes a speeiulty of the cleun
ing of moderized chimneys, to a reporter.
"Over forty years ago the trade of chim
ney sweep was a good paying one. At that
time nothing but soft coal and wood was
bnrp'H Th?? chimney* wre theo tmide
largt! enough to allow the passage of a
man's body. But few chimneys are now
made over two feet square. Chimneys are
now cleaned by the mennsof huge brushes
< which reach from kitchen to roof. .Many
tenants believe they suffer from smoke
caused by defective lines, when the real
cause is? clogged chimney. Hard coal
makes little else than dust, but if a chim
ney is uiicleaned for many years the accu
mulated dust drops down and interferes
with the burning of the lire. Prices paid
for clea'iinir chimnevs are much smaller
than in former years. Formerly %? was
charged Now the work is done for half
that sum."
Chimney sweepiug forty years ago was
monopolized by the colored people, who
made it a fine art. The manner in which
a chimney sweep heralded his approach
was novel. Sometimes, if the block was
short, he would commenco to sing in alow
tone which iucreased with every step, and
when the end of the block was reached he
would break out iu a volume of sound.
good voices, and their singing was greatly
appreciated by the children along thoir
routes. This class ha3 wholly disap
earned their livelihoods as chimney
sweeps have engaged in other lines of
trade.
The reporter called on an aged colored
man recently, who many years ago car
ried on the trade of chimney sweep in this
city. He has ciranged his occupation to
that of white washing. lie said:
"Chimney sweepiug is played out.
When I started in the busiuess nearly
fifty years ago a good sweep could make
$?10 and $15 a day. The kiud of fuel used
nowadays and the size of the chimneys
has ruined the busiuess. Before the use
of hard coal became general chimneys
were so arranged that they might be eas
ily cleaned. Steps were made upon
which the sweep might stand while per
forming his work. I narrowly escaped
death many times while at work. Once I

'i in- Iti.sks a Joekey Kuiih.
Ike Murphy, the jockey, who in the esti
mation of those Avho have won money on
his mounts is a bigger man than old "Any
body;" is generally regarded as a very
fortunate individual indeed. Lucky Bald
will is to give him $10,000 next year, and
in addition to that comfortable sum,
which is almost equal to the average in
come of a newspaper reporter, he can sell
his services to uny other horseman when
they are not needed by Mr. Baldwin. No
doubt his regular income will be at least
$1,000 for every thirty days in the year,
and to this amount may be added the
winnings he is sure to earn through his
command of reliable "tips." But there is
another side to the picture that is not so
rosy.
In addition to the constant perils of the
race course and the liability to accident,
Murphy is bartering ten to a dozen years
of his life for tne princely income he is re
ceiving. In order to ride ho is obliged to
keep his weight at least twenty-five
pounds below what he wouldnow register
if in a normal and healthy condition. In
order to keep himself in trim he is obliged
to subject himself to exhausting swu-ats
and deny himself much that would con
tribute to health and long life. Jockeys
are generally short lived if they continue
in the business much beyond the period of
youth. "I'was ever thus?there is no rose
without a thorn, and those who dance

The Western Cattle-Ilalsing Industry. ~*
The inducement to engage in cattle-rais
ing in this country several years ago was
so great, says The Chicago Times, that
eleven companies, with a capital of $20,
000 non. xvprf? orenrdznd in Orent Britain
They now own t>72,013 head of cattle, and
lease or own 3,319,072 acres of grazing land
in the west. In 1853 one of these compa
nies paid dividends amounting to 20)4 per
cent., but for two years past they have
paid only 10 per cent. The rate of return
is now very low, and the whole business
seems to have suffered a serious deteriora
tion. Ol nine of these British-American
companies in 1S85, one paid 7 per cent.,
one (J, two 5, one 4, and four paid nothing
at all. Last year there were nearly 50,
000,000 head of cattle in the country, and
of these British companies owned only
672,013, as noted above. The reasons for
decline in profits is part due to the action
r?f ?>.<. ^n.rl.Unl irko nWiimil ivnipn to
vacate public lands and pay for their
grass. Besides, in the year 1885 the yield
of calves was behind that of the year be
fore. The chief reason for the decline in
dividends is the smoller selling price of
steers, the falling of! reaching in some
cases $0.00 a head. Tho immense profits
made at first invited excessive coinnoti
tion, which cut down prices and profits.?

A PUBLIC INSANE ASYLUM.
An Ex-Patlcnt's Word* of Warning?
How to Avoid aiental Dltieaitc.
I would earnestly entreat the relatives
and friends of lunatics never to put thein
in an asylum if there is the slightest ho;>e
of their recovery. In these institutions
everything is against their improvement
?the associations for one thing. Imagine
a consumptive, for instance, shut up with
fifty other consumptives; the sympathetic

Tlie same thing is true of mental disease-?.
Again, a person is taken from a home
where he has delicate food on a table fur
nished with respectable, for want of n
better word I will say, furniture, clean
cloth, dainty dishes, glassware, etc. There
he must cat off a bare plank, with iii
tasting knives and spoons, made of pewter,
while all his food is mixed together on one
p'.uto. All around him are his fellow luna
tics, eating like hogs with their fingers
and muttering to themselves. The keep
ers meanwhile are cursing and swearing
or throwing potatoes at the men for a
joke. Your appetite is destroyed, and the
little food you manage to force down is
not digested and barely suffices to keep
body and soul together. I have no special
fault to llnd with the quantity or quality
of my food, although I was never able :n
cut the beefsteak, ami as for the tea im.l
coffee?well the paupers hud enough to
eat such as it was.

spend three months In u madhouse. If
you want to realize the value of money
and what It can do for you live in a public
insane asylum. I've been a miser ever
since I left it. A good private nurse and
| a skillful doctor can often restore a pa
tient to reason who would never recover
if placed.in an asylum.
A. word or two to individuals suffering
from nervousness, n mild form of insanity,
and which is always liable to develop into
a serious mental disease. Never, under
any circumstances, use either liquor or
tobacco: the fewer drugs, the better. All
these things render the nerves more sen
sitive and I can say from bitter experience
do far more harm than good. Avoid
anodynes as you would poison. Von bad

from the effects that invariably follow
eise?violent exercise is very injurious?
and suitable employment are the reme
dies that will alleviate this disease. Don't
think about yourself; get outside of your
self as much 'OS possible. I accomplish
this by frequenting places of amusement
and losing self in the woes of the hero. I
forget myself and my troubles, most of
which are equally fanciful. But the best
of all specifics is music, which acts like a
charm to soothe the aching and feverish
nerves. Make up your mind to avoid
everything that injures you, screwing
your courage up to the sticking place,
bearing always in your mind the mad
house. If you do not exert your will
power, Its doors may close on you, per

"JLlvo" Ivory mitten from "Deed."
"That knife handle Is worth twice as
much as the other," said an ivory dealer
to a reporter, as he pointed out two hand
some knives in a case. They looked ex
actly alike, so the reporter asked in what
the difference lay.
"Well, one handle is formed of live ivory
and the other of dead," replied the mer
chant. "By live ivory I mean ivory taken
from an animal recently killed. That sort,
of ivory is expensive, because it is hard to
get. It is strong, because there is life in
it, and It Is used for the handles of the
best knives, and where dead ivory c;.u:.l
not be used. When an elephant loses a
tusk that tusk becomes what we call dead
ivory. He sheds the tusk, and it has ro
strength in It. It is brittle and breaks
easily, and can only be used for the
handles of pocket knives, or in other
forms where the ends are protected. If
they were not, the ivory would split and
crack in a very short time. The ivory
taken from the tusks of the antediluvian
mammoths buried in the soil of Siberia is,
of course, all dead ivory. Its iwes are,
therefore, limited. If you ever want
to buy any ivory goods, bo sure to ascer
tnin Yt*!:?ther It Is 1!?? ?r d2ad**"ar~
fore purchasing. If the former it Is
strong and durable; if the latter, it is brit
tle and liable to crack, even where fast
ened.
"The same rule npplies to the horn.
Deerhorn and buckhorn, so commonly
used, especially In the handles of pocket
knives, is much of It mado from the horns
shed by the deer, and of little value. The
live horn Is more expensive.?New York

AN ANCIENT SALEM INDUSTRY.
The Process of Making: Hides fata
Lenthe*?Opcrntlons in Detail.
Yean ago tanning was done in tan
yards- not under cover, bo that the men
were exposed to the weather, however In
clement. Now, rough wooden sheds arc
erected over tan vats. The time required
to make leather out of raw hides is from
f<mr to six months. The hides come to
S dem by rail, and now spur tracks take
1: cm to the very door ot tue tannery.
Some hides from China, Which your cor
respondent saw in one shop, wer? done up
in bundles of 120, each weighing about 19
?pounds, making a bundle of 1,410 pounds.
These hides measure fourteen or fifteen
feet, while an ordinary American hide
covers an urea of seventeen or eighteen
feet. They were dried and pressed into
bundles and bound with ropes before
shipment. These hides are first put into
a soak of clear sea w;;tcr, and remain six
or seven days, when they are taken out
mid put Into thcJ lime vats filled ivith Ilms
water. There they remain from six to
ten days. They are then taken out and
uuhaired and green shaven, the hairs be
in^ scraped ofi on one side and an/ parti
cles of fle>h removed from the other, side.
The next course is to put the hides into
the drenches and then mill them to soften
them. After being thoroughly rinsed in
clean water, they are "put into the bark,"
that is, put into a vat where there Is a
strong liquor made from bark, with
j,..r..,.?i y-.rfi C7*rfa?Fle<3 IW'-mr. t>prh
layer. Sixteen days here fit them to be be
brought out and laid away for 30 days,
after which they are split, shaved and
to split it from one side to the other, but
to take oft a small piece weighing from
one to two pounds, about in the centre.
Tins sjilit is eventually curried like other
leather, and is used largely for backs of
shoes. Splitting is done by machinery,
a:.d ii a voiy dangerous business. Every
few weeks the press records ri smashed
d ? r broken arm from the use of this
machine. After splitting, the Idle gees
through the bark liquor once more, re
maining this time but a few minutes,
when it Is again laid away for thirty days,
at the end of which time it is put into tho
tnn vat and remains ten or twelve days.
This i< the end of the tunning process,
nud when the hides come out of the bark
liquor this time they go into the currying
shop.
j Curring is an entirely distinct business
I from tannins, ?ud few men who learn one
paii kjl Luv uUaiiiCdS dCA ttiiun ?.... *-*".??
about the other. The manufacturers
mostly run only one business, although
now and then a man tans and finishes
leather both. In the large majority of
cases, one firm takes the hides into its
yards and tans them, and another firm
takes them and curries them into leather.
Not all tanners and curriers own tho
hides which they put into leather. Very
frequently they do the work for other par
ties.
Tanning leather Is a very dirty and un
savory business, but probably not un
healthy, and those who have worked at
it A long time say they are not troubled
by the smells. But this seems almost in
credible to one who goes among the vats
and beam houses for the first time and
sniffs the odors from the old hides, the
fumes from the luu vats aud lime holes
and the general waste and decay.?Salem
