mer or out door man than good rubber
boot, and nothing so eAasperating as bad
one. The "Ninety five per cent. Rubber

as nearly pure rubber as can be made, is
made upon honor, and will outlast any
three pairs of other rubber boots. The
manufacturers warrant them for three
months, the date of the selling of each pair
being punched in the top of the leg. The
heel of these boots is protected with an
iron guard. There are three soles, al

Stage Struck.

Nym Crinkle, writingof girls who are
impressed with an ambition to go upon the
stage says: Not long ago an agent showed
me some of the letters oe received from
what he called dramatic aspirants." Most
of the missives were from young women IN
the country who desired theatrical engage
ments, and they gave their qualifications
in measurements. One of them felt sure of
her success because she measured thirty
FIVE inches round the bust. Another felt
sure of PLAYING Fauline we'll because she
had the figure. 81 wear No shoe" says
a third; am rather voluptrous in form, and
am said to have taking face" This
young woman incloses her photograph and
expresses an ardent desire to appear in a
respectable troupe" One of the most as
tonishing exhibits / ever saw vas that
made by a texcher of female acrobsts, who
recently went ont of the business. He had
hundreds of letters from women all over
the country who spoke of their ''talents"
if they we're about to have them fitted by
a corset maker These women drift upon
the stage without any KNOWLEDGE and very

A BOut Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufactu-
rels has led to an extent of adulteration
and cheapening of material never before
known in the business. Crude rubber has
the quality of absorbing or of becoming
incorporated with very large quantity of
cheap and bulky substances, like amp
black, chalk, &C., which cannot be detected
by the uninitiated, and which impair the
durability of the goods. People call for
low priced goods. not rejecting that low
prices always mean low quality. The re-
sult is, they vast money on "wild cat"
Rubber Boots, when an extra dollar or two
would buy them pair which will wear to
their utmost satisfaction whole season
and more. The "95" per cent. booot, de-
scribed in another column, is meant to re.
form this abuse, and is worth the inspec-
tic of those in need of a real good article.
