we watch the process, vve are struck
with the rajuditv with which the work
is done, and with the .skill shown iu
dealintr with tlan s in the leather. lb re.
for example, is a skin with a hole in
the best p:ut of it about the sje of a
shilling: with -eemui i.niih.. th
man cuts he leather s0 that that vvr
hole cnjiics into one of the oblong

when, with a smile, he points out that
at that pr ec point a hole will b re
