Each wear shows something new in the
matter of mems furnishings. One year it is
very loud speckled, striped or plaid shirts ;
another, it is extraordinary and violent neck
ties, and again it is hosiery of hues which make
the kaleidoscope and rainbow look pale and
dark .colored. This year seems to be given up to
the matters. and bravely have they improved
their opportunities. Bright green hats flaming
red hats, brilliant blue hats and hats of all sorts
of other colors appear in the shop-windows and
occasionally near the eyebals of the frequent
er of the streets The latest eccentricity in
this line is grey felt hat. with irregular
daubs of sickly greenish-brown upon it, as if
the wearer had been to sea and an
incautious sailor up aloft had dropped
the slush-pot upon him. And are these things
worn? Bless your innocence, yes; and for
that matter some youths would wear the slush-
pot itself if only the proper authorities
should tell them it vas stylish.

1etegTdph as being about as nearly perfection
as it could be, and it therefore commends it
to the attention of every shoer The sheer
some years ago was asked to write down his
mode and did SO, and thinks that it might
have been published in western paper
where he formerly resided:
"The way shoe horse is this First see
that the animal stands in natural position,
so that it is perfectly upright If SO, level
the wall of the foot to receive the shoe, and
nothing more. Never cut the frog, braces or
sole, nor the heel let nature do its own work
If let alone, once in six weeks or two months,
the frog, braces and sole will shed. Make the
shoe tight at the toe, heavy at the heels, flor
the heels are the tenderest part of the FOOT
Put the nails well forward of the quarters
Use light nails. Concave the shoe until you
get to the quarters to protect the soles. Then
convex the heels little, and you cannot
make narrow heels, corns, quarter cracks or
contracted feet. Fit the shoe cold, and fit it
to the foot and not the foot to the shoe. Fol
low the wall carefully; fit the shoe as broad
as you can bring the heels around to the
frog, but do not touch it. Never make the
shoe longer than the foot; never use bar
shoes, as in every case they are wrong and
hurtful. Never rasp the outside wall, for
you destroy the glass or enamel that protects

method of shooting is the cause of more lame
