Footgear of Nations.

In the ninth ard tenth centuries tho
common form of shoe in Europe was the

The Egyptians had shoes or sandals
made ordinarily Of leather, but some-
times OF palm leaves or papyruS.
Chinese persons of rank wear boots
with thick soles and legs of fine cloth
or silk that reach halfway up to tho
knee.
The Japanese in their houses wear
light shoes or slippers with woven soles
without heels, or else go in their stock

Wooden shoes or sabots are worn now
among the peasants in many countries
in Europe. Their advantage is in their
cheapness and durability.
Among the southern Indians, where
no protection is needed from the cold, a

Birds Killed by Telegraph Wires.

1t has been supposed that birds be-
come accustomed to the presence of tel
egraph wires, and arc careful to avoid
them in flying, but it would seem either
that this is mistake or that the
birds on the Scotch and English moors
are less intelligent than their fellows.
Systematic observation there along q
line of telegraph wires has shown that
great destruction of bird-lif goes on
throughout the year and that at certain
seasons the roadside is literally strewn
with the remains of unfortunate grouse,
black game, partridge, snipe and other
birds. Every morning at dawn maraud-
ing bands of rocks come from the low
land woods to feast on the dead and dy-
ing, and the farmers and shepherds in
the region declare that more grouse arc
killed annually by the telegraph wires
than by all the sportsmen.

THE MARKETS

As we anticipated last week the flour
market has subsidized, and jobbers have
well supplied the trade. Contrary to
general expectations, the change in the
tone of the market did not affect prices,
which are unchanged, and quotations are
the same as In our last report. The
market, however, rules firm under pres
emit high prices, owing to the scarcity of
cash wheat in the country, which is said
to DO 1000, 900 bushels less than this
time last year. Generally from 10000
900 to 90, 900, 900 bushels of wheat are
carried over from one season to the other,
but this year 1t Is anticipated that very
little will be carried over. The winter
wheat crops are good and about 70 per
cent. of an average, which will be
amply large. The quality is very good
and it Is probable that If both the spring
and winter wheat crop turn out about
aSO, 900, 900 bushels, as carefully esti-
mated, the expectation will be very
large, especially as Russian wheats have
been heavily drawn on In the past year,
and tho exports from this country have
been comparatively small. We quote:

A Curious Case of Mesmerism.

A case is exciting a good deal of in
terest in England, as it is said there is
no law in England to reach it. Lewis
ALERT, mesmerist, has been arrested
for curious offensc. His custom was
to enter shop, make purchase of
some trife and put down a copper in
payment. Then the hypnotizing or
mesmerizing process, was brought into
requisition, for the shopkeeper in every
case took up the copper and han led out
the change for sovereign, which the
young man promptly pocketed.
Detectives watched him and arrested
him at a theatre at Wolverhamptou.
He had stopped at the box office,
handed the clerk dirty scrap of news
paper and received as change without
the slightest hesitation on the part of
the boy four sovereigns and nineteen
shillings. -Neao York News.

The Change from Boots to Shoes,

Considerable attention has been called
to the calfskin situation. OF late years
the demand has been falling off as other
kinds of leather have been taking its
place. One of the principal causes of
this lies in the fact that long -legged
boots have been going out of favor
shoes taking their place to great ex-
tent. This has had great effect on
the consumption of leather as on an
average it requires about two and one
half to three times as much stock in the
manufacture of boots as is required in
the making of shoes. In this way the
use of heavy calfskins has greatly de-
clined. During the past few years the
styles have run more to "dongola" and
kangaroo" leather for fine shoes, and
this has been serious set back for the
lightweight calfskins.

Steel Boats From One Sheet,

1t is well known that ships boats
suffer from being slung up at the davits
and kept there for long periods exposed
to the weather. IT not infrequently
happens that when in harbor-and
sometimes at sea in a case of emergency
"a boat which has been for some time
exposed to this deteriorating influence
is lowered into the water, tbs found to
be leaky. Ships boats hanging at the
davits are also in danger of being
smashed by seas breaking on board. In
order to meet the fogs and danger aris-
ing from such conditions it is proposed
to construct boats of steel, and, what
is still more novel, out of single plates.
A company is being formed to carry on
the manufacture.

that part of a notsi6 presented it is redeemed
