The painful report has been made pub
lie that Mrs Lydia Pinkham smiles pen
siyely from the bill boards and the news
profit to herself. Somebody else is said to
reap the benefits nc 3ruing from the physic
taking community to the mild, but elo.
quent, appeal made by the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of that aflable countcnance. We
have always thought that we detected
a trace of sadness beneath that smile, and
have attbruted it to the consequences of
her own medicine upon Il constitution not
sufficiently strong to resist the effects of an
enthusiastic indulgence in it rs constant
beverage; but now we arc convinced that
we were mistaken, and that the smile is
q faint expression of disbelief in mankind
generally. 1t would seem that Mrs Pink
ham had beamed beniGnantly upon
q world needing her specific in vain, until
somebody else took it in hand, whereupon,
as if by magic the heart of the public re.
sponded to the smile which had hitherto
been without effect. Mrs. Pinkham s
mistake was undoubtedly in placing only
single portrait upon bill board. Her
successors pastered them in every direc.
ton by the hundred, and thus gained i'm
measurably by an accumulation and con-
centration of her facial expression One
smile might be passed by UNDECIDED, but
who could resist fifty smiles pasted on one
wall? and Il woman'5 smile ut that. IL
may be frankly admitted that the face was
mature. and not calculated to arrest the
steps of giddy youth. or to elicit its deep.

THE CLEvERDALE MYSTERY o., the
Machine and It's Wheels. A story of
American Life. BY VIM. A. Wilkins,
Editor of the Whitehall On. Y. Times.
Cloth, Sl00 New. York; Fords, How
ard q hubert.
If the average American citizen does not
find food for both laughter and serious
reflection in this "Story of American life"
it will be strange indeed. The tale and its
morals are one and the same throughout
"A showing up of the working of our
present "machine politics. not only
among the politicians and their offices, but
also in the daily life of all who are con.
nected with them, directly and indirectly
And this is done in manner most apt
and graphic.
Mr.. wilkins has for years been Il prom
inent politician in his own part of New
| York state and rs an editor and active
committee man has much knowledge of
! the jntricacie of practical politics.. "
His book is entirely bipartisan, however
and it would puzzle q politician to tel
which party he aimed to portrav-or
which he spares in his caustic though
good humored thrusts. Political workers
of cvety grade will enjoy his capita
characteristics, his many witty sayings
and skillful hits at "folly AS it hies;'
while not only they, but the general read
er will find new cause for sober thought
in this evidence of what Decentralization
and downright immortality is the almost
inevitable outcome of the carelessness o
the better citizens, who leave their high
political privileges and duties tc the
INSCRIPTIONS manipulations of those who
make it a "trade"-not alone in the sense
of an occupation for livelihood (Which
might be honorable enough) but in the
lower sense Of unprincipled barter anc
sale.
The scenes of the book are largely il
the lovely Lake George region, and while
"Cleverdale" can hardly be recognized a.
any specific one of the many wide awake
country towns of central New York, it i
Il familiar type, and the originals of thu
characters could be duplicated by hundreds
all over the land. In spite Of the unhapp,
tradegy it includes, this - u wholesome
attractive, and readable story, which ough
to be, and doubtless will be read by mul
ttudes, who will chuckle over its fun. ant
think twice about its meanings. 1t
peculiarly timely, at this season of nomi
nations, campaigns and elect ons. but vii
be worth reading at any time.

ANCIENT SHoEMAKING-AL Lynn (Mass)
correspondent OF the New York EUcHipg
Post thus writes on the subject of ancient
shoemaking:
Rude drawings are seen on the walls of
Thebes (B. G. 1850 of shoemakers per.
forming their tasks, showing the trade to
be extremely ancient rs well as eminen;ly
respectable; and we read in Homer of
princes manufacturing thor own shoes.
They have been made of various materials
hides, flax, silk, cloth, wood, iron. sill
yer and gold-anG in great variety of
shape, plain and ornamental. Among the
Jews they were made of leather, linen and
wood. Soldiers wore them of brass and
iron, tied with thongs. To put off the
shoes was an act of veneraton. The
Asiatcs and Egyptians Wore shoes made
of the bark of the papyrus. Among the
Greeks the shoe generally reached TO the
mid leo, like what we now call boots.
Ladies as mark of distinction, wore
sandals-a sort Of loose shoe, something
like modern slipper. Nenophon relates
that the ten thousand Greeks who followed
young Cyrus, wanting shoes in their re-
treat, covered their feet with raw hides,
which occasioned them great injury The
Roman shoes were of two kinds-the cal
ceus, which covered the whole foot, and
the solea. which covered only the sole,
and was fastened with thongs. Ladies of
rank wore white and sometimes red shoes,
other women wore black. The shoes OF
some of the Roman emperors were en-
riched with precious stones 1t was gen.
orally regarded ms a mark of etfeminacy
for men to wear shoes. Cato and other
noble Romans; had no covering for their
feet when they appeared in public. In
the ninth and tenth centuries the greatest
princes of Europe wore wooden shoes,
or wooden soles fastened with leather
thongs. In the eleventh century the
upper part of the shoe was made of leather
and the sole of wood. The Saxons wore
shoes, or scoh, with thongs.
In the year 1000, in the reign of Viii.
liam Rufus, the great dandy Robert was
called 1.-THE horned" because he wore
shoes with long points, stuffed. turned up
and twisted like horns. Shoes of this
kind became fashionable, and the toes
continued to increase in length until, in
the time of Richard IL. in 1890, they had
attained such an enormous extent as to be
fastened to the garter by chain of silver
or gold. The clergy acclaimed vehemenly
against this extravaganza; but the fash.
ion continued, even for several centuries.
In the year 1853 the parliament of Eng
land passed an act prohibiting shoes with
pixies more than two inches in length,
under penalties to maker and wearer, and
those who would not comply were de.
