The Norwegians in Minnesota have in
troduced their peculiar show-shoes there.
The shoes are made of strips of hard
wood, about ten feet long and six inches
wide, slightly turned up in front. They
are fastened to the foot at about the mid
die Of the shoe. The wearer slides over
the snow, not trying to lift the shoes, and
carries a pole with which to keep his
balance. Since the big SHOWS of this
winter these shoes have been almost the
only means Of locomotion in Dodge
county. 1t is not unusual to see some
thing like half a cord of shoes piled in
front of a store, within which their
wearers are shopping.-Cincinnat En-

A plan for rendering paper as tough as
wood or leather has been recently intro
duced on the continent; it consists in
mixing chloride of zinc with the pulp in
the course of manufacture. 1t has been
found that the greater the degree Of ON
centration of the zinc solution, the
greater will be the toughness of the pa
per. 1t can be used for making boxes
and for roofing.-Boston Budget.

The ~Maschinenfabric" at Halle, Ger

patent for ~fireless soda locomotives and
other soda engines. In style and con
struction these engines resemble the

eight hours. This is done at a steam
station and occupies about fifteen
minutes. The engine is run by one man.

IL would seem TO be = truth apprcciable
by all, and especially by professors of the

A Dissertation on Babies.

Undertones in San Francisco Chronicle.
There is charming young wife up town who
has Just the sweetest little baby in the world
That's what she says, and if there is one being
whom it is dangerous to contradict on the sub
ject of her own baby it is young wife. I have
no hesitation in saying it is the most beautiful
boy in all the world / have not seen it, but
can with perfect certainty accept the mothers
statement. 1t is funny; but the only subject
women ever agree about is the subject before
them You never heard woman called upon
by the mother to express an opinion
of the child, say anything except that it
was lovely, and too cute for any,
thing and too sweet to live A woman will
tell her friend that her bonnet doesn't fit, that
her photograph fatters her. that her new dress
wants taking in in the waist or letting out in the
hustle. or something like that but no woman
will ever tell even her btterest enemy that her
baby is anything but absolute perfection
think a baby s about the most incomplete and
inartistic thing in life, but have no business to
speak This young mother was putting this
precious child into his little crib, and gentle
man, watching the operation, thought he'd be
very witty.
"Do you know" he asked, why they cali that
a cribF'
mo Whyln
Because it's one for his mob"

er, apparently about forty years old, as been
employed with number of the same stripe in
the pipe mill of the Reading iron works Being
tall and we'll proportional, nothing unusual was
noticed, but still slight suspicion was aroused
occasionally when the person was closely scruti-
nized by the American workmen in the mill,
that the new arrival was female in mems cloth
ing. This confirmed to-day, when small
child, about five years old, came to the mill and
called for its mother. The foreman asked the
little one to point out the mother. To the sur
lected.
The expose caused considerable excitement
among the hands, and the woman left the mill
after finishing several laps of pipe. She had
been earning big wages under DISGUISE, and wept
when she was discovered. She will not again
