Character. rs Shown by Footwear.

A Spanish shoemaker of q philosophlc
turn of mind affirms that mems charac-
tiers and dispositions are more accurately
read in the way they wear their boots and
shoes than in their phvsiognomy, or even
their handwriting. lie says: ''Show me
the shoes of man after he has worn
them two months and will ana'yze for
YOU his character. In your shoes, for
instance, I see lack of energy, levity,
negligence, and disposition to evade
the fulfilling of disagrceable duties and
obligations. The even wearing away OF
the heels and soles of pair of shoes
shows that the wea:cr. if man, is one OF
good business habits. energetic, prudent.
of good head, and faithful in the dis
charge of his duties. If womans shoes
are SO worn, they indicate that she Is, OF
is capable of being. good wife and an
excellent mother of family. If the
outer edge of the soles are worn away
much more than the inner ones, the
wearer has an unstable, tickle character,
prone to ingratitude. If the inner edges
are the most worn, it indicates irresoiu-
ton and weakness in a man and mcdesty
in woman. A few months ago q
stranger entered my store wearing pair
of shoes that were very much worn on
the outside edges and at the toes, the
latter so badly that they were quite
broken through, while the other parts OF
the shoes were almost new. l took
care to watch that man while he was
near my goods, and when he was gone,
said to my wife: THAT man is thief. =
The very next day he was arrested by
the police for robbery.

He Tipped the Waiter.

Late in the afternoon we stopped at
Cleveland, Tenn, for dinner, and there
an incident happened the like of which
had never seen or heard. At the table
where I sat were five persons, one OF
whom I guessed to he the drummer of
some wholesale establishment. The spread
did not suit him, and he demanded some
cold meat of the waiter. The waiter
shot into the kitchen and reappeared, as
serting there was none there.
"Oh, yes" interrupted the drummer,
"there must be; hunt around; bring me
piece of cold chicken"
Out again went the waiter and returned
with just what he wanted. The drum
mer was satisfied and began slashing into
the chicken with renewed appetite; then
he paused. dropped his knife, ran his
fingers in his vest pocket, looked around
at the smiling waiter, and then, without
changing his countenance, handed the
latter a-match.
"You see what it isl"
"Ias. sar."

Rise and Fall Of q Steamship Line.

Anxious to reap the golden fruits de-
rived from the carrying of the mails, and
to also show to the world that the United
States was as we'll able to build and or
ganize fleet of swift steamers as Great
Britain, Mr.. E. X. Collins launched his
company, the end of which was tragic
one. He was to receive q subsidy of
$19,25 per voyage to home built steam
ers carrying the mails of the United
States to and from Europe, and he began
nobly by constructing four magnificent
steamers, the Arctic, the Baltic, the At
lantic and the Pacific. These vessels
were built of live oak planked with pitch
pine, the hull being extremely solid, and
divided into compartments, so that, in
the opinion of their builders, they were
all but proof against being sunk by a
collision or by touching the ground.
These steamers began to carry the mails
and passengers in 1850, and very soon
Congress raised Mr.. Collins subsidy to
$33, 900 per voyage, and fixing the min
imum at 1858, 900 per annum.
The Collins steamers, superblY fur
nished, performed such runs across the
Atlantic as had never before been made;
and one of them, the Arctic. after doing
the voyage from west to east in little
over nine days, was proudly christened
by our hurrahing countrymen 1.-THE clip
per of the seas" Alas the sad end
came only too soon. The captains took
to racing, and there was no personal
management to stop them. On the 21st
of September, 1854, "the clipper of the
seas" left Liverpool for New York with
233 passengers and crew of 135, nearly
all of them Americans. When within
sixty miles of Cape Race the Arctic COL
lided with the French steamer Vesta;
but deeming his ship not much injured,
the American captain made for the Cape,
and before he had got far the water
rushed in and almost Immediately the
splendid steamer was engulfcd in the
waves. Only fourteen passengers were
saved, and among those who pcrished
were the wife, son and daughter of Mr..
Collins. Sixteen months later came the
still more appalling disaster to the Pa.
cifc. She quittel Liverpool on the 23d
of January, 1876, with forty-tive pas
sengers, crew of 141 persons, the mails
and a cargo insured for over So, 900, 900.
