Shoes in the Middle Ages.

In the Middle Ages shoes of an ex-
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 Graz
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
14G3 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 a size
larger is what he probably needs, but he
does not know what ''size" is. Well,
a ''size" in coat is an inch, size in
underwear is 2 inches, a size in a sock is
inch, in collar 1-2 an inch, in shirt
1-2 an inch, in shoes 10th an inch, pants
inch, gloves IA of an inch, and in hats
is of an inch. Very few purchasers
ever understand the schedule named. -

"Does ii take long to learn2"
The Meaning of America.

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
often been discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi. or Garibaldi, so common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which
occurs as early as IA A. D., is probably
a contracted form of the name Amalaric,
borne by a king of the Visigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop Enrich was
present at the council of Salisbury in S07,
and an Americas Balistarius is mentioned
in the Close Rolls Thirteenth century,.
1t has been conjectured that the stem
is i'm, from which we get the name of
Emma. The meaning of this is not
known with certainty, though Ferguson
thinks it may denote ''strife' or ''noise."
Since, however, the name is probably of
Gothic origin, and since the Amalungs
were the royal race of the Ostragoths, it
is more likely that the stem is ANAL,
which was formerly thought to mean
"without spot" but is now more plaus-
IDLY connected with the old Morse ami,
"labor, - work. The suffice ric, cog
nate with rex, reich and rick, means
erich or powerful" and therefore the
most probable Specification of Amerigo is
"strong for labor. Isaac Taylor in

Georgian and Circassian.

The Georgian has beauty quite differ
ent from that Of the Circassian. The Cir
cassian is dazzling, queen like and stately.
She has a fair skin. She is elegant in
form. She is kindly and gentle in voice,
but lazy in movement and without spirit.
One of her own sex has said: "There is
no soul in a Circassian beauty; and as
she pillows her pure, pale cheek upon her
small dimpled hand, you feel no inclina-
ton to arouse her into exertion: you are
contented to look upon her and to con-
template her loveliness." The Georgian
is creature with eyes like meteors and
teeth almost as dazzling as her eyes. Her
mouth does not wear the sweet and I'M
ceasing smile of her less vivacious rival
But the proud expression that sits upon
finely arched lips accords so well with
her stately form and lofty brow that you
do not seek to change its character

looked on, wondering what Mrs. Emmons
would do next.
Then came the efforts of her husband to
have her adjudged insane, which were I'M
successful, for the verdict was that Mrs.
Emmons was perfectly capable Of taking
care of her own affairs After that the
world heard but little from this eccentric
woman until the announcement of her
death.
There is sad contrast between the
early days of Mrs. Emmons in Washing
ton society and the later portions of her
life. Five years ago she was one of the
most prominent women of Washington
society. Her youth and beauty, her con-
versational powers, together with her
husbands prominence as scientist and
her wealth, rendered her a person to be
envied. But soon her utter disregard for
conventionalties caused society to look
coldly upon her. 1t is said that among
the few women that remained loyal to
Mrs Emmons was the late Miss Catherine
Bayard, daughter of Secretary Bayard,
who shared Mrs. Emmons, fondness for
horseback riding. They were together
when Miss Bayard was thrown from her
horse and killed.
The career of Mrs. Emmons is full of
incident. She was the daughter of Will
lam Shane, of Bridgewater. Conn. She
first married Mr. Frederick lilly,
wealthy Bostonian, who took her to Eu-
rope. From lilly she soon separated.
She lived in Paris for a year, then
suddenly disappeared and as sud
denly reappeared seven or eight months
later as chorus singer in an opera troupe.
Professor Emmons met her while she was
travelling with this troupe over Europe,
and after n brief courtship married her
and took her to London. When he was
appointed to the geological survey they
took handsome house in Washington
After some duty in the west, Professor
Emmons resettled in Washington, where
they entertained lavishly.
In 1878 Mrs Emmons received severe
blow on the head from a fall From 1889
to 1884 she began to exhibit eccentricities.
In the spring of 1884 she went abroad,
spending the summer in Kissingen and
the winter in Vienna. Her conduct
caused considerable comment. She sud-
denly returned to America, and in 1885
her husband took steps to have her COM
mitted to an asylum for the insane. She
spent some time in the Bloomingdale aSy-
lum at New York and the Butler hospital
at Providence, r. l., and at Norwalk,
Conn. She was finally released and went
to Europe. 1t was on her return from
this trip that her husband attempted to
restrain her when she should leave the
steamer Lydian Monarch.
Mrs. Emmons was taken care of in her
last illness by the person with whom she
boarded. She was visited occasionally by
her husband, but died practically alone,
and as far from the gay circle in which
she had formerly shone as if separated by
an oceans width.

Reform in Our Penal system.

1t needs no argument to show that our
penal system is as bad as it can be. Prob
ably one-half of those incarcerated could
be made excellent citizens without being
disgraced. OF the other half large part,
by a course of wise discipline. could be
lifted out of the ranks of vice and crime.
AT present man once in states prison is
his release, and his incarceration only
hardens him. The only pardoning power
now recognized as possible is that lodged
in the hands of our governors; a power
that is generally exercised with discretion
and ends in vast good. We cannot too
soon eradicate the idea of vipdictiveness
from our penal system and substitute
therefor the idea of reformation. Globe

Rinsing Out Poisons.

A curious and novel method of saving
life in certain cases of poisoning has been
originated by DR.. Carlo Sanquirico, of
Sienna. By largely increasing the vol
ume of the 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 out and eliminated from
the system. In this way the lives of
dogs and guinea pigs were saved after
being dosed with deadly amounts of
strychnine, Choral alcohol, aconitine,
paraldehyde, caffeine and urethan. With
certain other poisons, 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, surpasses
the study of shorthand for mental train
ing. 1t is, in its very essence, an ac-
quirement that lies far outside of the
mental limits attainable by idiocy, and
the application of its principles calls for
the constant exercise of greater and
steadier power of concentration than the
technicalities of any other known accom-
plishment. The fastest writer is habitu-
ally, on the average, from 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 feat which
can hardly be said, with truth, to lessen
the brains retentive faculty.-A. E.

A Drunken Mans Memory.

l remember a Cambridge man who,
though not given to drinking, and now
"a sober man among his sons" was more
than once overtaken by liquor during the
time when he had yet to learn his brain S
exceptionally limited power of resisting
the action of intoXicants. This man
would not only be unable to recall what
had happened during the time when he
was intoxicated, but a number of pre-
cedng events which had taken place
while he was still perfectly sober. His
friends would tell him of things which
had happened full hour before he was
'overtaken" (as the quaint expression
has it,, which had altogether passed from
his remembrance. He used to say that
his recollection was clear up to certain
point, beyond which everything seemed
'veiled knowledge.

Dog fancers could tell very funny
stories about their experience with ladies
and their pets. One well known fancer
here says that a wealthy dame from
Fifth avenue will come bowling down to
his shop in her carriage, and, with tears
in her eyes, beg him to save the life of
her adored prg. He promises her he
will do his best, and, after kissing the
black nose of the little beast and leaving
many instructions for his welfare, she
drives away. The dog fancier then eX-
amines the pug carefully and finds that
it is suffering from being overfed and
getting no exercise, so he puts it on low
rations for a week and has his boy run
it up and down the yard for an hour or
so every day until it works some of the
flesh off its bones. Then he sends it back
to the grand dame, who is delighted to
pay S25 for the wonderful transforma-
ton that has taken place in her pet.
People who keep large dogs are apt to
have more common sense about their care
than those who keep toy animals, and
they do not feed them on meat and candy
all day long, so they escape the illness
that comes from too much pampering. -

Origin of Color Blindness.

That the origin of color blindness lies
in the brain, and not in the eye, has been
suggested by Professor Ramsay. While
engaged in teaching in Brooklyn some
years ago, the principal of a school in
sisted in treating every case of the sort
as dependent on the will of the pupil.
His remedy was the rod. This certainly
seemed a tyrannical and unwarranted
treatment, but the result was favorable
to his theory. Is it possible that thor
ough examination will ultimately demon
strate that the fault lies very largely in
the shiftless methods of observation
which have grown up under the old
classical system of education, and which
have to large extent become hereditary?

Best Paid Quill Drivers.

The people who make most money out
of their work are not the ones proudest OF
It. The composers of advertising verses
and the story writers for the weekly papers
are among the best paid quill drivers in
New York, but it is very funny to see how
universally sore they are over their occu-
pations, and how invariably they tell you
that they'd write for The Century and
Review, if they could afford it, To be
sure, advertisements pay well, but after
all, as fact, they don't pay as well as
first class magazines, if you get in.-New
