HOW WOODEN SHOES ARE MADE

An industry that cannot last many years
more. thanks to the rapid cheapening of
leather shoes by means of machinery, is the
manufacture of wooden shoes, still the only
wear of thousands of French peasantry. A
writer in Chambers Journal pleasantly de-
,scribes the manner in which tDis industry is
carried on. The surroundings are certainly
picturesque. An encampment has been
formed in the beech woods, and suitable
trees are selected and felled. Each will
propably give six dozen pairs of wooden
shoes. Other kinds of wood are spongy
and soon penetrated with damp, but the
beech sabots are light, of close grain, and
keep the feet dry in spite of snow aud mud,
and in this respect are greatly superior to
leather.
All is animation. The.men cut down the
tree; the trunk is sawn into lengths, and if
the pieces prove too large they are divided
into quarters. The first workman fashions
the sa5ots roughly with the Ratchet, taking
care to give.the bend for right and left; the
second takes it in hand, pierces the hole for
the interior. and scoops the wood out with
All instrument called the c%u,lles.
The third is the artist of the it
is his work to finish and polish 1t, carving a
rose or primrose upon the top if it be for The
fair sex. Sometimes he cuts an open bor-
der %around'the edge, so that a blue or white
stocking may he shown by a eoquettish girl.
AS they are finished they are placed in rows
under the white shavings; twice a week the
apprentice exposes them to a fire, which
smokes and hardens the wood, giving it Il
warm, golden hue. The largest sizes are
cut from the lowest pars of the bole, to COW
.er the Workman's feet who is out in rain
from morning to night. The middle part is
for the busy housewife, who is treading the
iwashhouse, the dairy, or stands beside the
village fountain. Next come those of the
little shepherd. who wanders all day long
with his flock. and still smaller ones for the
school boy. Those for the babies nave the
happiest lot: they are seldom worn out. AS
the foot grows the mother keeps the little
,sabots in a corner of her cupboard beside
the baptisanal robe.-Sctentyfc Amcricon.

HONEY SUGAR.

tile Bee-keepers' association desire to re-
turn good for evil. While dishonest men
are striving to spoil the honey market by
selling imitation honey made of glucose and
artificial tlavorings, the bee-keepers are Ak
ious to furnish an un%questionably whole
some substitute for the glucose used by
cooks, contectioners and brewers. Accord
ingly they have offered a prize for the dis
coyery OF a method of converting honey in
to a form Of crystalline sugar. California
honey already sells Tor seven cents a pound

For comparison, another plat of ground was
sown with wheat drilled in. in the usual
way, 80 hi. to the acre. The committee
reports that the average yield was COZ per
cent. greater in the IG inch drills than in the
Sinch, and while the former did not lodpe
or crinkle the latter did so badly.

A Question of Bones.

"What are the facts in this case, doc
tori" asked the magistrate, as DR..
Busby took the stand.
"Why, you see," said the doctor,
"Jones, the coroner, here, yesterday
discovered lot of old bones in the cell
lar of stable which was torn down.
Being little hungry for fees he de-
termined to hold an inquest, and he
sent for me to get professional opin-
ion. They were bones of horse; you
know; bat when l got there, Jones
had them laid out on the ground In
something like the torn of man; and
when demonstrated with him, he said
they certainly were the bones of man,
and he was under a solemn obligation
to hold an inquest"
"You say" asked the justice, "that
they did not resemble the bones of
human belng?"
"Well you know, he had one leg
made out all right, but when called
his attention to the fact that the
bone of the other leg ran clear up into
the body and stuck out eight inches be-
yond the top of the skull, he said the
man may have been peculiar, he may
have been deformed. He said he had
an aunt whose leg bone projected so
far from Ter head that she had to put a
hole In the top of her bonnet"
"Did he produce the said aunt!"
"No. And when showed him that
the right arm had three elbows, while
the left contained no joint of any kind,
and looked like the breast-bone Of a
chicken, he said there was man In
Peru who had eight elbows, and that
his oath as coroner did not obligate him
to account for all the phenomenal freaks
Of nature"
"Had the remains any other elbows
about 1t anywhereP" asked the justice.
"Not unless you count the joint in
the middle Of the back. The coroner
had the horses hind leg inserted jnst
below his mans shoulders. A real
man, you know, built in that way,

Trade In Children.

Ernest Morris, the young American
naturalist travelling in Brazil, tells
about practice prevailing along the
upper Amazon, as follows: At one Of
the houses we met trader who had
come from the river Japura. He had
on board boy and girl of the Miranha
tribe for sale. Senor Batalbia bought
the boy, bright-looking little fellow,
for fifty milrays, or $25. The little girl
cried pitifully when separated from
her brother. The trade in children Is
spoken of by Bates, who was at Teff'e
twenty-five years ago; it is prohibited
by the government, but openly carried
on. The Miranhas are the most power
ful tribe on the Japura; they are a
warlike nation, who for knife or gal
lon of rum, sell captured children.
Numerous raids are made by them upon
their weaker neighbors; and men and
women are killed aud the children sold
into slavery. At Teffe there is not a
house in which you will not find child
rem of all ages, as you also will at Man
aos. On my return on the steamer Ru
Branco the captain was taking to Para
a boy he had bought for $35. "The
reason for this" said Senor Batalbia,
lis very simple--we must have servants
and they make good ones besides they
are not Brazilians they are Indians of
New Grenada" This trade in children
is carried on more extensively every
year, and is disgrace to the govern
ment,

Harvesting an Elephant.

An elephant keeper in Philadelphia,
Pa, tried the other day to get a vener-
able animal named Old Chief to draw
wagon. Old Chief didn't object much
while the harness was being placed on
him. He merely blinked steadily and
now and then cast a glance at his per-
secutors, as though he would say that
his time had come. His actions puz-
zled his keepers not little, and they
began to suspect that he was brewing
some mischief. At length they got
him hitched to the wagon. The gap
ing spectators looked onwith deep inter-
est. Chief manifested no sign that he
was going to move. The trainers put
their hooks into his trunk and began to
pull on him. Chief snorted little and
shook his head disapprovingly. They
pulled harder. Chief snorted and
tapped his ears like the roofs of two
houses coming together. They gave
his trunk jerk. Chief lifted his ears
up with a yell and made dash for
ward, jerking the trunk free Of the
hook and projecting it out before him
like a bayonet, tearing through the
yard with the wagon at his heels,
scattering the affrighted spectators in
every direction. He went tearing di-
agonally across the long yard, taking
in pile of tent-poles in his course and
making straight for the gap in the low
er corner of the enclosure. AS he
dragged the wagon over the pile of
timber a party of half dozen, who
had retreated there for safety, ran for
their lives. One man tried to jump
six foot wall and fell back to the ground
white as a sheet. When he looked up
he saw the wagon, a complete wreck,
not ten feet from him, and Old Chief,
with the broken harness clinging to
his body, standing wcdged in between
the corner of the wall and the corner
Of the stable. He had knocked out the
whole corner of the stable, scattering
forty or fifty bricks over the ground at
his feet. After good deal Of trouble
his keepers succeeded in backing him
out Of his tight position and he was
sent back to the stable, still snorting
and defiant. No moderate estimate
cover the amount of punishment Chief
will have to receive before he is reduced
to subjectiOn.'

Spanish MerInos.

1t is said that the origin Of Span
ish Merinos dated back to the Roman
civilization, and thence to Greece. The
Romans had herd which they called
Tarrentine, from Tarrentine, a Greek
colony Hence, they were called also
Greek sheep. Their wool is of exceed
ing flneness, and it is related of them
that they were protected by coverings
of skin, carefully housed, combed and
bathed with oil and wine. From this
we may infer that at that time they
were highly bred. Columella, who
lived before the Christian era, relates
that his uncle, M. Columella, transport
ed from Cadiz to his farm lands, which
were in Boetica, some wild rams of ad-
mirable whlteness brought from Africa
and crossed them with the coveted or
Tarrentine ewes. The offspring pro-
duced rams with a fine fleece. Strabo
says in his account Of the geography of
Spain, that in the time Of the Emperor
Tiberius, wool Of great flneness and
beauty was exported from Hudllania, a
part of Boetica, and that the rams were
sold in that province for improving the
breed, for talent each or about $1,000.
When the Roman empire was over
run by the barbarians, the Tarrentine
stock of Italy being very tender became
extinct; but the improved stock of
Boetlca, living in the mountains, sur
viyed, and perpetuated by the Moors,
who, skilled in the sextile arts, could
appreciate Its value, still exists as the
Merinos of Spain. If this view is cor
rect, the Merino is the most important
surviving relic of the material civlliza-
ton Of the Greeks and Romans.

Remarkable Cook Mechanism.

In the late French theological Sec
ton at the Exhibition, were two
clocks remarkable for their mechanism.
On the top of one of them is seated, a
handsomely attired Greek lady, figure
hardly span hign, with small barrel
organ, held by boy, resting on her
knees With the clocks last stroke
the miniature organ is set in motion
and plays tune, the boy keeping time
with his head. On the left arm of the
figure is a bright startling, which as
soon as the piece is played out repeats
the melody, accompanied by the move
ments of the lady's head. The mech
anism Of the second clock Is more won
derful. The clock is snrmounted with
a figure representing ajuggler in ORR
entail costume, seated behind golden
table. To his right stands three large
silver bells on plate. The juggler
raises himself as the clock strikes, and
gesticulates with his hands as if in pre-
paration for his feat, takes up one of
the bells, shOws-it to the spectators to
convince them that it is empty, then
seizes another bell, and puts both on
the table. He lifts them up again and
under each lies now golden egg,
which appears and disappears repeat
edly. Sometimes both eggs disappear
sometimes they increase in number,
and instead of two, three or four eggs
are seen. The little magiCian's perfor-
nance reaches its climax when he
turns up the third bell and displays
bronze ball to the astonished auliencc.
This bronze ball bursts Immediately af-
ter. and Lilliputian bird, about the
length of "a finger nail makes its exit and
pipes a tune. The next moment all

mer, after graceful bow, resumes his

The subject of this sketch is far
mer in moderate circumstances, and is
one of those quiet, easy-gOing stay-at-
home kind of men, who seem to aspire
to nothing of higher sphere in life.
He has an interesting family, and at
tends to his daily labors with a sound
body, mind and hearing, but either
cannot or will not talk. There are
people living in the neighLorhood who
believe that he could if he would; and
there are others who say positively
that he cannot talk now, or he would
do so, because previous to his sickness
in 1865 he was an incessant talker. The
fact, however of his making two dis
tinct utterances, understood fully by
those who heard them, renders the case
a very remarkable one, at any rate.
