In the Middle Ages shoes of an cx-
%travagant 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 800 years.
The English parliament at one time
regulated by act not only the quality Of
the leather, but the number Of stitches
to be taken in making every shoe. In
1853 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.

Utilizing Waste Leather.

A most interesting feature Of all busi-
nosses using leather is that not one par
ticle of the leather is wasted. Our shoe
factories alone sell annually fifty tons of
waste. This goes mainly to n firm in
Philadelphia, who pays 81 a ton for it.
A large amount is sent to Lynn, Mass,
and other points, where the leather is
ground up, mixed with a medium and
pressed into buttons. The remainder
that is not so used is treated chemically,
turned into a gelatinous mass, dried and
ground into a f~ertilizing dust. The sole
leather pieces that fall from the block
of the heel stamper are sorted into two
heaps, The very fine pieces are put with
the fine waste. The scraps, presenting a
surface of a couple of square, inches, are
harreled up and sold to parties in New
York Or Boston Mt one cent u pound,
where they arc put through a peculiar
machine. This instrument splits the
pieces nearly through. Then it opens the
piece thus cut like i book. Thence it is
delivered from between rollers, and is
large enough TO be again sent to the fac
tory to be cut up into heel lifts.-Balti-

A remarkable case of disease is Mt pres
cnt cngrossing the attention Of medical
mon in Austria. There is lying at the
hospital of the city of Isc+l u patient af-
flicted with n bony excrescenec protrud-
ing from between the lower c~ervical YER
tcbrae. The excrcsccnCe has the form
Of n horn, is round and straight, with n
diameter of n and a half inches. 1t
has grown to a length of about eight
inches, and would probably have been
much longer by this time but for the fact
that tho point was broken off several
times to be sent to the ~pathologic insti-
tute of Vienna for examination. There
is no feeling in the horn, the breaking off
of the points, which the patient did him
self, causing him no pain whatever. At
the root where the horn is attached TO the
spinal column it is soft and movable, but
it rapidly grows hard and is like bone at
n short distance from the root.-Foreign
Letter.

The petriied remains of q hugo ami
NAL have been discovered near Percy.
Ia, by q man named S. r. Dawson. 1t
was lying beneath tho surface on the
bank of the Des Moines river. The total
length of the body measures, without the
head. over forty feet. Tho mead was de
tached from the body, and when dis
covered was some distance away from it.
At nine feet from the end of the tail it
measured -four feet six inches in width.
In support of his theory that this is the
petrified remains of some extinct monster,
Mr.. Dawson, in describing the find, shows
that it is entirely unlike the stone forma-
ton in the vicinity. A spar Of quartzite
formation was discovered in the locality
where the blood vessels and intestinal
canal should be, and another formation
was found in other parts. The remains
We're in q bed of dark blue stone sur
rounded by petrified remains Of insects
and other animals. Mr.. Dawson is con
1ident that the monster belonged to the
carboniferous age.-Demorest's Monthly.

Cornell college desired an elephants
brain, and it fortunately secured one. p.
7. Barnum was the donor and the recent
fire NJ Bridgeport, Conn, the cause of his
generosity. They hardened the brain
while it remained in the skull by con-
tinual injection, the same method en-
ployel with the brain Of the Elmira MUIR
dcrer. The method originated with this
college and prevents tho distortion fol-
lowing the removal and subsequent
hardening of the brain. 1t is lone in the
following manner: All the vessels ex-
ccpt the vertebral and the carotid arteries
are tied, and these arc connected by rub
Der tubes with q tank containing diluted
alcohol, which is arranged at q proper
height to allow the fluid TO slowly flow
through the brain substance. The study
of the brain is yet to be made, and the
result is awaited with interest. Animal
trainers, especially those of elephants,
claim that they possess little reasoning
power, and we do not imagine in conse-
quence that the result will benefit any
thing but comparative anatomy.-The
Doctor.

There need be no fear but that those
who want to pay for their religion, ="
as some like to put it, will be given OPP
p%ortunity to do SO. The man who wants
to help pay for the preaching of the Cos
pei doesn't need to have a pesky contri-
button box slid gracefully along under
his nose every time he attends service.
Nor is there any reason why the amount
of money-usually so small-which is
taken every Sabbath, in the morning
and evening collections, may not be con
tributed in some other and less awk-
wardly conspicuous manner There are
many ways in which people can be led
to understand that if they wish to con-
tribute they can do so in a quiet and I'M
ostentatious way, and there is no doubt
whatever but hat those who want to
give will find a way.-American Maya

The lighthouse board is about to under
take experiments which will have an i'm
portant bearing on the lighting of dan
gerous points in our rivers and harbors.
1t is nothing less than the lighting OF
buoys by electricity. The method at
present in use for illuminating buoys con-
sists in supplying them with oil or gas.
With both of these it is necessary to re,
plenish the source of illumination peri
odically, and this means additional
trouble and expense. Besides, in most
cases, the buoy is allowed to remain con-
stantly lighted, as it is not visited daily.
Hence it appears that the electric light
Is especially adapted to this purpose, as
it requires no attention whatever and is
under control at all times.-New Orleans

a new amusement is suggested by n
club Of young persons-sixteen in num-
Der. They are writing a book-a novel.
So far the secretary is having the most
fun out Of it, but great expectations
tremble way down in all the sixteen
hearts. This novel is to have sixteen
chapters, and each chapter is to be writ
ten by n different member. When fin
ished the successive chapters are handed
back to the secretary, who, consequently,
is the only one who knows the various
writers. They are all in fear and trem-
bling lest the love making fall to their lot
that being considered the most difficult
part to do justice to. There will certainly
be much amusement afforded by the
undertaking Chicago Herald.

A curious and novel method of saving
life in certain cases of poisoning has been
originated by DIR. Carlo Sanquirico, of
Sienna. By largely increasing the vol
ume of tho blood, which can be done by
injecting into the arteries saline solutions
to the amount of about s per cent. of the
weight of the animal, the poisons are
actually rinsed u and eliminated from
the system. In this way the lives of
dogs and guinea pigs were saved after
being doscd with deadly mounts of
strychnine, choral, alcohol, aconitinc,
paraldehyde. caffeine and urethan. With
certain other p%oisons, as morphine, cura-
rine and nicotine, the method failed. 1t
is not at all impossible that this discovery
may introduce an improved treatment,
not only for cases Of poisoning, but for
certain diseases.-New York Mail and
Express.

Nothing, in my Judgment, SURPRISES
the study of shorthand for mental train
ing. 1t is, in its very essence, an ac-
quircment that lies far outside of the
mental limits attainable by idiocy, and
the application of its principles calls for
the constant exercise of n greater and
steadier power of concentration than tho
technicalities of any other known accom-
plishmcnt. The fastest writer is habitu-
ally, On the average, hom six TO a dozen
words behind the speaker, and to carry
these in the mind, while at the same time
executing multifarious stenographic in
tricacies upon the paper, is n feat which

the brains retentive faculty.-A. e.

A Colorado farmer recommends q
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 n 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.

The march of Improvement is still on

Endurance of an Eskimo.

A medicine man of the tribe, in order
to prepare for himself a drum or drum
head to accompany his peculiar religious

skin, soak it in the water until the hair
was loose, and when il was frozen as stiff
rs n board place the pleasant thing
against the bare skin of his body until it
was thawed out and then hold 1t there
an hour or two until it was dry as a bone.
There is little wonder that such people
need no seal or walrus oil to warm their

thing is that they do not sleep out of
doors all winter to prevent being over

1t is astonishing to observe how few

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES

Our oldest child, now six years OF age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with n
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physician
who attempted to cure it bnt it spread with
alinost incredlDle rapldlty, until he lower p9r-
of his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious We
had no rest nj night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the C~UrICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks a complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as

attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is n strong, healthy
child, perfectly well no repetition Of the disease
