shoes in the Middle Ages.

In the Middle Ages shoes of an ex-
trayagarft length became popular, In
the reign of Richard ii the tips of some
reached to the knee, TO which they were
secured by gold and silver chains The
upper parts were frequently cut to imi-
tate church windows. Such shoes were
called ''Crackows," after the city of Cra-
COW. They were introduced into Eng
land in the reign of Richard ii by John,
the grandfather of his queen. Several
bulls were issued against these extrava-
gances, but long toed shoes held their
own for nearly 300 years.
The English parliament at one time
regulated by act not only the quality Of
the leather, but the number of stitches
to lie taken in making every shoe. In
1863 parliament prohibited the making
of any shoes 'for the unprivileged
classes" with points more than two
inches long. The top boots, SO familiar
to us in the pictures of the early Puri-
tans, were introduced in the Sixteenth
century, Philadelphia Times,

When Buying Wearing Apparel.

1t is astonishing to observe how few
people understand the common rules Of
measurement in purchasing wearing ap-
parel. For instance, a man will buy a
coat that is .'size" too small or too
large. A ''size" smaller or "size"
larger is what he probably needs, but he
does not know what ''size" is. Well,
size in coat is an inch, size in
underwear is 2 inches, size in sock is
1 inch, in a collar 1-2 an inch, in shirt
1-2 an inch, in shoes 18th an inch, pants
/ inch, gloves IA of an inch, and in hats
Is of an inch. Very few purchasers
ever understand the schedule named. -

Prevention of Eyaporation.

A Colorado farmer recommends a
somewhat novel method of preventing
the loss of water by evaporation from
open tanks or ponds. 1t consists in Civ
ing the surface of the water a thin coat
ing of oil, and was successfully adopted
by him during the unusual drought Of
last summer. He demonstrates the cor
rectness of his theory by filling two ves-
sells of equal size with the same depth Of
water and pouring few drops of oil on
the water of one. In due course the
water in the other vessel will entirely
evaporate, while the one that was oiled
shows no loss. Chicago Times.

People don't really kiss the pope's toe.
The pope's foot is encased IN a silk stock
ing, which is again encased in a dainty
slipper embroidered with cross, which
the pilgrim touches with his lips.
Foot Wear in Provincial Europe.
In European countries wooden shoes
are in general use among the peasantry.
They are clumsy, but comfortable and
cheap. The Malay women generally go
barefooted, but they are very skillful in
embroidering slippers in gold tinsel,
which, like those of the Turks, are worn
just over the toes by ladies of the higher
classes. Philadelphia Times.

Watering the Bivalves.

Always have your oysters opened
while you wait" said Brooklyn dealer.
"Why? Because, although you pay five
cents a quart more for them, you will
save money. 1t is the custom of oyster
dealers who open oysters the night before
they are sold to throw them into water.
An oyster will absorb about one-third its
weight in water, and so the purchaser
pays one-third of his money for water.
which he can add to the oysters himself
if he wants his bivalves watered. New

HOME.

There lies little city In the hills;
White are its roofs, dim Is each dwellings, door,
And peace with perfect rest its bosom fills.
There the pure mist, the pity Of the sea
Comes as q white soft hand, and reaches DER
And touches its still face most tenderly.
Unstirred and calm, amid our shifting years,
10. where u lies, far from the clash and roar,
With quiet distance blurred, as IL thro' tears.
Oh, heart that prayest so for God 10 send
Some loving messenger to go before
And lead the way TO where thy lous ings end.
Be sure, be very sure, that soon will come
His kindest angel, and through that still door
Into the infinite love viii lead thee home.
