--latest Whims in Shoes.

The latest whim of women is the
wearing on the street of the light shoes
which have generally been considered
appropriate only at the sea shore. All
the women are wearing them now, and
there has been such run upon the
shoe stores for them that even the
large dealers are frequently now I'M
able to supply demands for some sizes
or styles. They are very stylish, al
though somewhat startling when first
seen. They are made OF all sorts of
leather, just as ordinary shoes are, and
come at all prices and in all sorts of
styles. They are all called .'russet,"
although the color actually varies
from very light yellow to very dark
tan.
Dealers say that French kid is
rapidly going out of use for ladies'
shoes. 1t is being succeeded by what
is being called Dongola, which is a
leather evolved from the old pebble
goat, formerly used universally for
cheap shoes. Real French kid is made
from kids skins, and has a soft, vel
vety finish and great tendency to
turn purple or red; its surface also
flakes up easily. Dongola is made
from goat skins. but instead of being
finished roughly or pebbled it has a
smooth finish, initiating the kid, but
more durable than that. 1t can be
made to cost as high as the real French
kid. The skins from which all these
feathers are made come from various
parts of the world. The Harlem sup
ply, strange as it may seem, is com
paratively small. Australia furnishes
the most, and it is said the best. Goat
raising there is Il regular business.
Newark, n. j., is the chief center in
this country of the business of tanning
these hides.
Everybody knows the porpoise skin
makes good shoestriugs; good, at
least, so far as durability is concerned.
1t IS not so well known that porpoise
leather also makes good shoes, and
that there is quite a demand for them.
A porpoise leather shoe, if made well
in the first place, always fits well, for,
while 1t is very stretchy material, it
can never be made to cover more sur
foce no matter how much it is stretched.
What it is extended in one direction it

makes it very close-fitting, and at the
same time soft and pliable on the foot.
1t is used chiefly for shoes by people
anxious to keep their feet dry, as it is
absolutely impermeable to water. When
it is wet, however, it swells to twice
its usual thickness, which temporarily
spoils its good looks.
Persons on the outlook for odd
things in the way of foot-gear have
something new in leather in what is
called by the trade kordofan. This is
really horse hide. small part of the
skin from the rump of each animal
being available for the shoes. 1t is
said to be pleasant To wear and to
last forever or thereabout. The sup
ply comes from the wild horses OF
South America and from the zebra and
qnagga of Asia. The demand is not
yet so extensive as to threaten the ex-
termination of those species.

world. sold at Hinrich's Drugstore.

A farmer near Orlando, Fla. saw in
the sand the trail of what he thought
was a very big snake. He followed it,
and after ten minutes trailing, came
upon the largest serpent he had even
seen. 1t was engaged in swallowing a
rabbit, and the farmer waited and
watched the operation. After the rab-
bit had disappeared he walked forward
to get a good shot at the monster,
which, according to his story, at once
reared up its head rs high as good
sized man and began racing back and
forth before him, drawing nearer each
time. Kissing and darling out its
tongue The farmer shot and broke
the snakes back, and another shot
killed it. 1t was ''eoach-whip1 snake,
of the boa constructor family, and
measured sixteen feet and two inches
in length and was four inches wide
across the head.

He bought dog and took it home to
his father. The old gentleman laughed
at the idea of such cure. but to please
his son tried the dog. The account
says that as soon as the doctor lay
down in bed the dog .'sprang in and
coiled himself around his feet" In
less than an hour the dog gave him
evident relief, and in a short time eff
