Ice Water Shortens Life.
Exchange.

Water for drinking purposes should never be below fifty degrees. Wecan almost always get it even in the hot test weather as cool as this by letting 1t run a minute or two from any household faucet, or drawing 1t from any country we'll. If not, there Is no objection to cooling 1t to the point mentioned. The East India "monkey, 1" which can now be had almost any where in this country, and by means of which the contained water Is cooled by its own evaporation, answers the purpose admirably. am quite sure that, if ice water should be generally discarded as drink, the average dura- tion of life would be heightened and existence rendered more tolerable.- Dr. Wm. 4. Hammond.

LIFE.
BY EUGENE YIELD.

Life is Silvery stream, Born in the snow's white arms. We on its banks (where they seem Almost to touch and to kiss) Long for the mermaiden's bliss And the salt seas soothing charms. With lips rose red and apart And eyes bedimmed by tears. We feel this young worlds heart Beating in time tO our own And yet are as one alone In a crowd of hopes and fears. Tossed by an unrest wild, Drawn by a hope unseen god in thought, and a child! We wander on to the end With death as bosom friend. And mis. comes down between.

What Becomes of old Shoes.
New York Sun

New York Sun.
 "Old clo" and told shoe" merchants never pass an ash h-can without inspect ing for old shoes. If any is found it soon finds hiding place in the capa- cious bag carried for the purpose. Each days labor Is taken to the home of the "old shoe man," where 1t is sorted over. Shoes that are not past a few days of usefulness go under the resuscitating care of an Italian cobbler. He gives the old shoe a new lease of life by endowing it with a new sole and other repairs. These go to some second hand shoe store, of which there are a goodly number in this city.
 The shoes that are past repair are taken to the old junk dealers, who in turn ship them to the shoddy facto- ries. There they are pulled to pieces in order to remove the steel shank piece, if there be any, and then ground to fine dust. This leather dust is then mixed with about forty per cent. Of rubber which has been gathered in the same way. The mixture of rub Der and leather dust is spread in sheets about two feet square, and subjected to pressure of 5000 to 10 900 pounds per square foot. The substance is then colored, and sold at prices some fifty per cent. below that of leather.
 This manufactured leather is used by the manufacturers of cheap shoes, mostly for inner soles. As 1t Is wholly wanting in fibre, 1t Is manifestly a very poor substitute. Shoes with these shoddy inner soles are to be found in large quantities strung on poles and bearing the legend, "An leather, $l." The industry of mak- ing shoddy shoes has greatly inn proved. At first straw board was used for inner sole counters, and sometimes for out-soles by pasting over with a thin veneer of sole leather. Next, leather scraps and old shoes were ground up and mixed with the straw paper. This gave a little bet ter substance. Now shoddy contains leather-dust and rubber.

Princess Metternich, of Austria, is visiting Paris. The princes is the wittiest, most dangerous, brilliant, sarcastic and fascinating woman In Europe. She does the most eccentric things-to use . gentle sdjective-and society applauds. To her Is due the introduction of the circus among peo- pie of leisure. She Is fond of smoking a pipe, and as she increases In years is more and more dependent on tobacco for consolation. She speak . number of languages fluently, even the pro- fane. Altogether she Is the most picturesque woman in Europe.
