pieces of steel to give spring to the instep.
two rands, twelve heel pieces, two sole lu-
ings, twenty upper pieces, thirty tacks,
twelve nails in the heels and twenty buttons,
to say nothing of thread, both silk and fax;
but the wonder is found in the rapidity with
which these multitudinous pieces are com
bined in a single completed work, for, as an
experiment, eastern shoe factories have from
the leather completed pair of shoes in less
than an hour and a half, and as a test a sin

which do the work of mans hands Besides

'What is the most particular branch Of

"The stick department.
why soln
Because the greatest skill, strength and
Judgment are needed to make good stick
candy. No man can learn to make stick
candy after he is grown don't know why
it is, but man who is stick candy maker
always learned his trade when he was q boy.
None grow old in it, either. You seldom see
an old candy maker Most who learn the
trade set up aall retail places of their own.
1t is far easier to start a business on almost
no capital in the candy line than in any
other. A barrel of sugar, a few flavors, a
little butter and cream will start man in
his own little factory In stick candies the
only authorizations possible are in colorings
| and favors The stock must be pure, first

In great room at long marble slabs stood

Pcrcantare Paid for Batting.

Comparatively few people are aware of the
percentage they pay the bookmakers of a
race track for the privilege of betting Com
mon sense teaches that these men, having
such large expenses to meet, must have a
pretty sure thing on the books, but there are
not many who walk up to the stand and place
their money who realize the full meaning of
their chances. Bookmakers figure to get
about 30 per cent. of all the money bet. This,
Of course, is sometimes varied, according to
circumstance, but it is on that basis they ar
range their books, and the natural result Is
that man who goes to the races with $500
and bets regularly 500 each day. if he should
win the same number of bets each day that
he loses, the amounts Of each bet being fairly
averaged, he will find that in about two
weeks his $500 has dwindlsd away in percent
ages that the bookmakers have taken.
An average race is about eight horses, and
the odds are consequently 81 to 81 against
the better. To make an absolutely square
book the odds should be SO placed that the
total would be equal to S64 to IS. Instead
of this, however, they are placed to give
| the bookmaker clear so per cent This per-
| centage in all gambling has been carefully
| figured, and it shows that player cannot
hold his own with ordinary good luck pitted
against ordinary bad luck; he must have
from 90 to SO per cent. more good luck than
bad to keep anywhere near even.-Chcago

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.


uiCts anu appoosC'.
Two or three months ago several thousand
Zulus rebelled against their British con-
querors and swept across a part of the coun-
try, laying waste the homes of all who would
not join them. large number of loyal
Zulus took refuge in police fort at Nwande,
to which the insurgents at once LAID siege,
and Gen. Smyth sent flying column com
posed of the Enniskillen dragons and the
Thirteenth Hussars to relieve the beleaguered
people. The cavalry soon dispersed the
rebels, and as they had orders to abandon the
station they escorted the poor fugitives to
place of safety.
1t was painful work toiling over the
parched prairies in the blazing sun, and
many mother with a baby in her arms suf-
fered severely as she struggled along trying
to keep up with the column. But soon the
Enniskiliens and the hussars came to the
rescue. Then the spectacle was presented of
bronzed and hardy regulars, each with a
brown baby in his arms or balanced on his
horses neck before him, while the grateful
mothers trudged alongside reassuring their
trembling infants, who were inclined to dis
trust their new protectors. 1t is safe to say
that by this kindly act the English soldier
stood revealed to these humble sufferers from
| former British invasions in light they had
| never dreamed of before
On bitter cold day in November, 1862,
| about thousand Sioux women and children,
under the escort of volunteer troops, were
nearing the end of their long march to Fort
Smelling, Minn. They were the families OF
the captive braves who had been engaged in
the terrible massacre of the preceding sum
mer Uncle Sam had been fighting the
Sioux instead of feeding and clothing them
| and now the innocent among them, in thell
thin and ragged blankets, were suffering fol
the crimes of their husbands and fathers. A.
the mournful procession encountered the icy
winds of Ten Mile prairie, the little children
began to cry most piteously. The sight o
their helpless distress moved the boys in blue
as by one impulse, TO carry out instant mea
sures of relief Every blanket was un
strapped from the knapsacks, scores of over
coats were thrown Off the shoulders of brav'
men who really needed them, and soon ever,
child in the caravan was wrapped in tn
thickest of woolens; and the least hardy o
the captives were slowed away under tn
shelter of the canvas covered baggag

diers had been targets, at Yellow Medicine

Swindled by Bogus Nutmegs.

A week ago a spruce, business looking
young man, carrying a sachel full of nut
megs, struck Detroit He put up at one of
the best hotels, ordered champagne with his
dinner, and later called on a well known
wholesale grocer.
Here are few samples of large amount
of nutmegs which own and am disposing OF
cheaply-thirty mine cents pound, while the
regular price is forty-four cents" he said,
opening the grip
The grocer thought he saw bargain as
did several other wholesale grocers to whom
the samples were shown He bought a con-
signment, paid cash and put them in stock.
A few days after the stranger had left town
the grocer CHANGED to sample one. The nut
meg looked all right and smelled all right,
but it had no taste. Several were sent to a
chemist for analysis. 1t was found that the
that the stranger had gone one better than
the olden nutmeg story. They were pecan
nuts. They had been picked while green,
dried and boiled in a mixture containing
pulverized nutmeg, which gave them the
same appearance and flavor as the genuine
The grocer, with several others who had beer
duped, got their heads together, agreed tt
