NEW USES FOR OLD SHOES

1t may be a surprise to some people
to learn that the old shoes cast into ash
barrels are liable to reappear in the
.boudoir and parlor. An inquisitive
reporter who saw couple of ragpick-
ers quarrelling over a lot of worn-out
and seemingly worthless footgear, in
terviewed one of the chiffoniers and
found that they sold them to the man
ufacturers of wall paper He followed
up the clew, and on questioning the
foreman of one of these establishments
elected the following bits of inforna
tom
1--WE buy" said the foreman, "all the
boots and shoes that the scavengers
can bring us. We pay different prices
for the different qualities of leather
A pair of fine calfskin boots will bring
as high as fifteen cents. We don't buy
cowhide boots. The boots and shoes
are first soaked in several waters to get
the dirt off from them. Then the nails
and threads are removed, the leather
is ground up into a fine pulp and is
ready to use.
THE embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately
and the stamped leather fire screens
are really nothing but thick paper cov-
cred with layer of this pressed leather
pulp. The finer the quality of the
leather the better it takes the bronze
and old gold and other expensive col,
ors in the designs painted on them.
Fashionable people think they are
going away back to medieval times
when they have the walls of theirlibra-
ries and dining-rooms covered with
embossed leather. They don't know
that the boots and shoes which their
neighbors threw into the ash barrel
month before form the beautiful mater
ial on their walls and on the screens
which protect their eyesfrom the fire.
I'VE could buy the old shoes cheaper
if it were not for the competition from
carriage makers and bookbinders and
picture frame makers | don't know
how many other trades use old shoes
and boots, but the tops Of carriages
are largely made of them, ground up
and pressed into sheets. Bookbinders
use them in making the cheaper forms
of leather bindings, and the new style
of leather frames with leather mats in
o,lxr, ga ,-+
covering of our feet.

Nineteen years ago, Levi Brandriff.
then a small boy, fell into the clay
grinding pit at Glasstown, and was
badly hurt. The calf of his leg was
torn off, only holding it by a small
skin, and his hip was dislocated. The
editor of the Republican assisted DIR.
w. l.. Newell at that time, in sewing
up the wound. The limb never healed,
but as the years went it became more
seriously affected and finally cancer
was developed, which increased until
it was evident that the leg must be re-
moved A short time ago, DIR. w. H. G
Smith, assisted by Drs. Whitaker and
Wheaton, performed the operation
very successfully. In nine minutes the
limb was off and the arteries secured
In twenty minutes the stump was
dressed and the work completed. Mr.
Brandriff bore the operation remarka
bly, well, rallied nicely, and has since
been steadily improving. Mdlvule Re

NOVEL MACHINES.

Among the novelties at the Novelties
Exhibition in Philadelphia, is the ex-
hibit of the Ferracute Machine Com
pany which shows a number of ma
chimes for punching and working iron
Their machinery in operation, stamp
ing out and embossing a series of tin
and brass plates, intended az souvenirs
of the exhibition. The tin in sheets is
fed beneath a punch press, which is
put in action by the foot, stamping out
a circular plate This is then placed
in friction box, which carries it while
rotating against a series of rollers
which turn the edges over and finish
it. The plate is then polished and
placed under an embossing press which
forces the metal into the lines of an
inscription engraved on the die. In
the rear of the exhibit is shown heavy
punch press, making iron washers. A
sheet of iron, the thickness and a little
into the press and circular hole
punched out exactly as rivet holes are
made in boiler plates. This hole serves
as a centre for the second punch, which
makes the outside of the washer. Both
punches are mounted on the same head
and consequently a completed washer
is made at every stroke of the press
A swivel centreing and drilling ma
chine is shown which has some novel
features. The entire machine may be
rotated about a horizontal axis and q
self-centreing chuck placed upon the
bed plate so that the work to be cen
tired is fed horizontally. When used as
by which any one of four different
drills may be thrown into action with
out loss of time. This is accomplished
by fastening the four drills radically
about a centre inclined to the axis of
the drill press. The rotation of this
centre throws one or the other of these
three projecting outwardly from the
side of the drill head. An Oberlin-
Smith Indicator shown includes in a
single case Il small clock and dial. \
centre, made as usual in speed indi-
Gators, projects from the side of the
case. When this centre is pressed
against the shaft whose speed it is
wished to examine, it does not com
mence to record until the apparatus is
thrown into gear automatically by the
clock mechanism, which automatically
throws it out Of gear at the expiration
of one minute. The record, therefore,
shows the exact number of revolutions
in a minute without the necessity of
timeing by Watches and removes en-
tirely all personal equation. Gam

THEY WON'T STAND IT.-"Ies, |
came in after hired man." said an
old farmer, as he slipped his root beer
in the market recently, but l have got
disgusted and shan't try very hard to
find one"
whats the matter with hired men?
Too high-toned and important.
Why, had one last Spring who rugged
up an umbrella over the plow so as not
to get tanned, and he refused to eat
with the family because we stuck our
knives in our mouths. AT the end of
week he Quit-said that labor was en-
nobling and so forth, but the landscape
in that vicinity offended his taste"
Yes
well, took another and he put on
cuffs and polished his boots before 60
ing to work, and he quit at the end of
a fortnight because we didn't have a
pianner in the house. Why, that chap
never got up till 7 o'clock, and he in
sisted on going to the village to get
shaved and perfumed up every other
evening.
The third one quit Inc yesterday.
He wanted stained glass in his bed
room window, and wanted me to buy
him a guitar He wanted to paint all
the roofs red and put pea green on the
corncribs. He suggested hogpen with
parlor to it, and he spent two days
of my time trying to arrange way for
the windmill to milk the cows. found
him writing poetry in the cornfield, and
because | spoke up sharply he quit the
job, polished up his boots and sent for
a cowpay to take him to the city"

A thin coat of pure glycerine applied
to both sides of glass will prevent any
moisture forming thereon, and will
stay until it collects so much dust that
it cannot be seen through Surveyors
can use it to advantage on their in
struments in foggy weather. In fact,
it can be used anywhere to prevent
moisture from forming on anything
and engineers will find it particularly
useful in preventing the accumulation
of steam as we'll as frost on their win
dows during the cold weather

A poor family living in a Shanty-
town cabin on the outskirts of New
York, has recently received $1400 which
was found in belt on the body of a
friendless old woman, apparently a
rag picker, whom they had befriended
over night lately during storm. The
woman died in the hospital on Wards
Island, and made the disposition of
her money, as stated, through the sur
geons of the institution.

Next Easter will be late-it falling on
April 25th-a date it has not fallen up
on in 152 years, and will not again in
7S years. The latest date it can posi-
bly, fall upon is April 2Sth, and the
earliest March god. 1t always occurs
on the first Sunday after the full moon
which falls upon or next after March

Sunday, Easter then is the Sunday

Mary had little doll
(There's nothing strange in that,)
Its wool was white, like other dolls,
Its little nose was fiat.
Its cheeks were red as roses are,
Its eyes the kind that shut.
Its dress pinned OMIT seemed, in short,
a common dolly
But
When round its dainty waist she felt,
And touched a hidden spring,
1t warbled, underneath its belt:
I'm saw-dust when | sing .'-Puck.

\ romantic story comes to us from
Venice a young Englishman ap-
peared every morning in the tobacco
| divan of Signor Alberti, bought the
most expensive cigars, gave presents
to the beautiful shop-g girl, and, so far
as his faulty command of the Italian
tongue allowed, paid assiduous court
to her. Subsequently he presented
her with his visiting card on which
was engraved Lord Rodney. He told
her that he was staying at the Grand
Hotel, and hired the entire first etdqe,
and was dying for love of her. He
asked her to be his wife, but wished
that the marriage should be performed
secretly and Immediately, because he
feared that if his aristocratic kinsfOlk
in England gained any knowledge Of
his intentions they would move heaven
and earth TO hinder the union. The
young lady told the story to her en-
ployer and SignOr Albert prudently
enough went to the Grand Hotel,
made inquiries, and found that all the
servants spoke of the generosity and
wealth of the English nobleman. He
advised her to accept the splendid of
fer, and day was fixed for the mar
riage. AS the young lord did not turn
up at the appointed time, Signor
Alberti and the lady went to the hot ell
to find him. They found him in a
white cravat cleaning his masters
boots

During some leisure moments from
their books the other night, the ex-

barred up the chapel doors that no

they stole a black horse, painted it

with imposing ceremonies.
