Among mo nasseiigcrs recuntiy
bound for Now Yoik from the West
was a wild man, who occupied a seat
in smoking car l'i3. He was accom
panied by .Tallica Harvey and Kay
mm - loyd, his captors, both of whom
way to Jsndgeport, tJonuccticut, to
mako airangenicnts with V. T. Har
mini to exhibit their prize in conjunc
tion with his circus.
When the day express arrived at
tho Hro.nl Street Station, nt 9 o'clock,
James Harvey ran down the platform,
into the restaurant and purchased a
box of sardines and somo sandwiches
for tho wild man's supper. His com
panion leinaincd in the smoker in
chargo of tho wild man.
llo was dressed in citizens dress
and wore big cloth shoes. His hair
reaches nearly to his waist and falls
oyer his shoulders, completely covering
ins back ; his beard is long and thick,
while his eyebrows are much heavier
than those of an ordinary human
being. There is nothing imbecile in
the wild man's manners or actions.
Hu cannot talk and seldom makes any
sound whatever except a low howl
like a leopard. His actions arc as
much like those of a hyena in the
zoological tiarden as it
is possible for
"
m to be.
Kayinond Boyd, who seemed to
have perfect control over the wild
man, said his body was covered with
coai.s?, brown hair as thick as tho hair
on a horses hide. Tho palms of his
hands looked like the paws of a bear,
and 1119 linger nails, winch were over
an inch long, resembled the claws of
an eagle.

years ago two or threo citizens of
Padticuh county, while out hunting,
saw him running into his cave, with
out a stitch of clothing on him. Ho

was discovered that a thick coat of

Some timo ago a farmer missed a
calf and two sheep, which had strayed
off. Ihey were tracked to "Mum's"
cavo ; here all trace of them was lost,
and it was supposed ho devouied
them.
In his cave, which ho had occupied
for the last seven or eight years, I5ovd
and Harvey found tho skeletons of
small animals and tho skins of over
fifty snakes. Somo of tho skins be
longed io ino most venomous species
of reptiles. Tho lloor of tho cavo was
alivo with red and green lizards, and
hundreds ot toads hepped about.

of tho seat terror stricken.- After tho

of animal cunning stealing out of his
restless eyes like a panther about to

When Conductor Harry Smith took

to cancel tho tickets tho wild man

How Kid Gloves are Made.
The kid glovo is n simple but very
important article of dress. Of tho
millions of persons who wear cloves,
how few ever givo the subject of their
manufacture a passing thought. Tho
uesisKitis generally come lrom middle
and siitheastern France. Fine sea-
sons improve tho quality of the skins
greatly, as tho animals aro kept in the
open air. In wet weather it is neo-
essary to keep tho kids housed. The
confinement, if lengthy, causes heat'ng,
and produces fever snots on the skins.
Tho animals on the Tyrol mountains
furnish good leather for men's wear,
South American kids being mora or
less wild, their coats become scratched
and torn by contact with bushes, bri-
ars, etc., and are not desirable.

the hair and grease aro removed and
the skin cleansed thoroughly. A most
difiicult stage of the business is tan
ning and dyeing tho leathers ; so much
skill being requisite to obtain the do
sired shades and colors. This is ac
complished with the best success in
France, ns tho French possess tho art
of leather dyeing to a degree not yet
attained by other nations, f n order
afterwards to mako the skin soft, full
and flexible, it is fed with actually
absorbing quite .1 quantity of a prep
aration ot wheat Hour and egg yolks.

HIM C HANOI'. SHIIIT3.
This entertaining picturn of Franklin
as the American representative to
Franco and tho French court is given
in an nrticlc entitled "Ono hundred
ycais ago." in the Manhattan:
Louis XVI, when Franklin camo to
France to stay, was in his twenty-third
year, and had been king less than threo
years. Ho had not yet shown that
tendency to gain flesh which was he
reditary in his family, and which makes
him appear in portraits and on coins of
n later period as a corpulent person,
with hanging cheeks and doublo chin,
lie was slim and appeared boyish. In
fact, ho appeared hardly a day older
than when ho was married and ho was
married before ho was Bixtcen. Tho
queen, a twelve month younger than
her husband, had ripened earlier than
he, and looked fully her age. The sor-
rows which darkened her after years,
and which have made tho natno of
Maiic Antoinette synonymous with
misery, had not yet overtaken her. In
1790 she was still as Edmund Burko
described her, "a delightful vision, dec-
orating and cheering tlio elevated
8i)hero she moved in. full of life and
splendor and joy.
The court was a pompous parado and
conducted with all the ceremonies which
had como down from the fourteenth
Louis. The nobles filled the king's
drawing room or his ante-chamber at
all hours. No was never alone, except
at rare intervals he managed to Rteal
away and make locks. lie was dressed
and uudresscd, washed and combed un
der the eyes of forty or fifty persons,
and by certain prescribed and rigid
rules. Tho operation of putting on his
shirt every inorning was something
fearful and wonderful. The grand mas
ter of the wardrobe drew off tho king's
night shirt by tho right arm and tho
first valet of the wardrobe by the left
arm, and both of them united in hand
ing the night shiit to an oflicer of tho
wardrobe. Another vnlet ot the ward-
robo then brought a clean shirt, but bo
had no right to hand it to tho persons
who wcro to put it on the king Ihe
honor of handing the clean shirt to
those persons was reserved to the sons
and daughters of France, or, in their
absence, to tho princes of tlio blood, or
thoso legitimized, or, in default of these,
to tho grand chamberlain or to tho first
valets extended a dressing gown in
front of the king to servo as a screen,
Behind this screen his majesty at last
got tlio shiit on his back. Every day,
immediately after being dressed, the
king said his prayers. And it is to be
hoped that ho never failed to offer up a
devout thanksgiving for having passed
safely through tho awful process of put

How to Split a Sheet of faper.
It is ono of tho most remarkable
properties of that wonderful product,
paper, that it can be split into two or
threo even parts, however thin the
sheet. Wo have seen a leaf of tho Il
lustrated News thus divided into three
thin leaves. One consisted of tho sur
face on which the engravings aro prin
ted ; another was tho side containing
the letterpress, and a perfectls blank
piece on each side was tho paper that
lay between. Many people who havo
not seen this done might think it impos-
siblo ; yet it is not only possible but ex-
tremely easy, as we shall show. Get a
pieco of plato glass, and place on it a
sheet of paper; and then let the latter
bo thorouglily soaked. 'With care and
a little dexterity the sheet can be split
by the top surface being removed. But
tho best plan is to pasto a pieco of cloth
or strong paper to each side of the sheet
to be split. vVhcii dry, violently and
without hesitation, pull the two pieces
asunder, when part of the sheet will bo
found to havo adhered to one and part
to the other. Soften tin- pasto in wa-
ter,and tho pieces can easily bo removed
from tho cloth. The nrocesss is gener-
ally demonstrated as a matter of curios
ity, yet it can be utilized in various
ways. If wo want to pasto in a scrap
book a newspaper aiticlo printed on
botli sides ot tho paper, and possess
only one copy, it is veiy convenient
to know how to detach one sido from
tno otlicr. Tho paper when split, as
may bo imagined, is more transparent
than it was beforo being subjected to
the operation, and tho printing ink is
somewhat duller, otherwito the two
pieces present the appearance- of tho
original if again brought together.
Soms timo ago the information of how
to do this splitting was advertised to
bo sold tor a considerable sum. Wo
now impait it to all ot our readers g-a
