ODD FACTS ABOUT SHOES.

Grecian shoes were peculiar in reaching to
the middle of the lsgs.
The present fashion OF shoes was introduced
into England in 1888.
In the Ninth and Tenth centuries the great
est princes OF Europe wore wooden shoes.
Slippers were in use before Shakespeare
time, and were originally made rights" and
''Iefts"
Shoes among the Jews were made of leath-
er. linen, rush or wood; soldiers shoes were
sometimes made Of brass or iron,
Black shoes were worn BY ordinary citi-
zer1s. white ones By women. while red ones
wers sometimes worn by ladies, aud purple
ones by coxcombs
In the reign Of Richard II they were Of
such absurd length as TO require 70 be sup
ported by being tied to the knees with chains,
sometimes of gold and silver.
In 1863 the English parliamen, tool. the
matter in hand, and passed an act forbid
ding shoes with spikes more than two inches
in length being worn and manufactured.
In the reign Of William Rufus, Of England,
ia the Eleventh century, great beau, Rob
,rt. tie Horned used shoes with saarp
po.uts, stuffed with tow ard twisted IKE
rams horns.
The Romans made use Of two kinds Of
shoe-the solea, CT sandal. which covered
the sole Of the foot and was worn az hone
and in company, and the calceus, which cor

Making Gold Thread.

The silver is brought from the Bank Of
England in cakes weighing about 1000
ounces. To secure the necessary degree Of
tenacity a certain proportion Of copper is
added, and the allowed metal, in the form Of
cylindrical bars, is next thoroughly heated.
The hammering process follows, and the bars,
originally about two feet III length and two
inches in diameter, but now half as long
again and proportionately thinner, are in
the next place fled and rubbed until their
surfaces are perfectly even. What we may
call the second part of the process begins with
the laying on of leaf after leaf Of gold in the
proportion of 2 per cent. Afterward each
bar is wrapped in paper and well heated in
charcoal fire. A sort of wise stands ready,
and in it, bar after bar as it comes from the
fire, is fixed and thoroughly FURNISHED. All
trace of its silver original has now disap-
peared, and the bar is ready for conversion
into wire. This is accomplished by drawing
it from 100 to 80 times through ever dimin-
ishing holes in steel plates; and finally, when
the capabilities of this metal have been e1-
hausted, through apertures in diamonds, ru-
bies or sapphires.
The delicate wire thus obtained must now
be passed through the steel rollers of one Of
Herr Krupp's little ''flatting mills" This
brings us to the final process-the spinning
of the 1attened wire round silk, to form the
golden thread of commerce. These spinning
machines are worked by water, although two
steam engines are to be found in the factory;
for water power is considered to be more reg
ular and even in its action. There IS small
homo demand for the round wire for the
adornment of epaulets, etc. but the bulk of
the manufactured article finds its way in the
shape of silky gold thrNad to India and the
far east generally, where it is converted by
skilled native labor into those gorgeous
cloths and tissues in which the heart of the
Oriental delights. What wonderful prop
erty does gold possess in its malleabilityl 1t
is asserted that every ounce OF the bars whose
fortunes we have followed with no little in
terest, each containing only 3 per cent. of
gold, will run to the length Of from 500
yards to 1850 yards, and the amazing figure
of 5000 yards is ON record. This latter thread
would be finer than human hair, bat the e1-
IRENE limit is not even yet reached.-Cham-
