Uses for Old Shoes.

1t may be a surprise to some people to
ash barrel are liable to reappear in the
boudor and parlor. An inquisitiye re-
porter who saw couple of rag pickers
ouarreling over lot of worn out and
seemingly worthless foot gear interviewed
one of the chiffoniers and found that
thew sold them to the manufacturers of
wall paper He followed up the clew,
and on questioning the foreman of one of
these establishments, elected the follow
ing bits of information
"We buy" said the foreman, call the
boots and shoes that the scayengers can
bring us. We pay different prices for
the different qualities of leather. A pair
of fine calfskin boots will bring as high
as fifteen cents. We don't buy cowhide
boots. The boots and shoes are first
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
off from them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather is ground
up into fine pulp and is ready to use.
"The embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately, and
the stamped leather fire screens, are really
nothing but thick paper cover with a
layer of this pressed leather pulp. The
finer the quality of the leather the
better it takes the bronze and old
gold and other expensive colors in the
designs painted on them. Fashionable
people think they are going away back
to the medieval times when they have
the walls of their libraries and dining
rooms covered with embossed leather
They don't know that the shoes anG
boots which their neighbors threw into
the ash barrel II month before form the
beautiful material on their walls and on
the screens which protect their eyes from
the fire.
"We could buy the old shoes cheaper
if it were not for the competition from
carriage makers and bookbinders and
picture frame makers. | don't know
now many other trades use old shoes and
boots, but the tops of carriages are large
ly made of them, ground up and pressed
into sheets. Book binders use them in the
cheaper forms of leather bindings, and
the new style of leather frames with
leather mats in them are entirely made of
the castoff covering of our feet. "-Ne'0

Tenement VS.. War Life.

According to statistics recently made
public, 1,113,254 privates and 33, 101
officers crossed the German frontier into
France in 1S70-71; of these 113, 621
were wounded and AS, 900 were taken
sick. There were killed in battle IL ,255,
or only one and one-half per cent, and
II, ,023 died subsequently of their
wounds, making 2S, S,27S, or about two
and one-quarter per cent, who died by
the arms of the French, while IA, 64S
died from diseases. Considering that
the war lasted nearly two years." OBJ
serves the Americag architect, in refer
ence to these figures, ''the total mortality
of about forty in a thousand does not
seem very frightful, since many a civilized
city keeps up a yearly average of twenty
two or twenty-three deaths to each thou
sand inhabitants. 1t is, at first sight,
rather startling to discover that the NOR
tality incident to the most important war
which perhaps ever took place in Europe
was apparently no greater than would
have resulted from putting the troops to
live during the same space of time in
New York tenement houses or in the
poorer quarters of Paris

one that arrives at the age of fifty, at the
utmost, who does not need assistance for
close vision"
SIS it true that near-sighted eyes inn
prove as they grow older"
"Pah That is another popular de-
lusion. Near-sightedness may grow worse
with age, but not better. Likewise, it
is nonsense to suppose, as is so commonly
asserted, that the near-sighted eye is
unusually strong. How should the alb
normal egg-shaped eye be stronger than
the spherical eye? The near-sighted eye
is not necessarily weak, but it is sick
eye, in the sense that it usually belongs
to person who is imperfect constitution
ally. The reverse Of near-sight is over
sight, which is occasioned by fiatness of
the erb of vision. II is the case of nearly
all cases of weak eyes, and of nine out
oe every ten cases of 'squint. Any child
afflicted with either of these troubles
should be taken at once TO Ine Ocullst anu
have glasses prescribed for it. Thou
sands of people go through life without
half the use of their eyes, when the whole
trouble is simply due to slight malform-
alton which proper convex glasses would
remedy at once In the case of con-
firmed squint it may be necessary to cut
the shortened muscle of the squirting
eye, which removes the difficulty and
sets the organ straight again. Let me
add, while | think of it, that there is
nothing against which the ignorant
should be warned more carefully than
the 'eye waters sold at apothecaries'
shops, which almost invariably contain
sugar of lead. This chemical applied to
a sore eye makes an opaque deposit on
the cornea, which may soon render the
unfortunate purchaser of quack eye RENE
dies permanently blind"

Held hY FeudaI Tenure.

Byron Island, one of the Magdalen
group on the Canadian coast, is still helc
by feudal tenure. The ancestor of ono
Captain Coffin received by royal favor in
early times, when little value attached to
the gift, title to the whole domain
The landlord lives abroad and manages
his estate by resident agent. The rents
are small and often uncollectable. Evic-
tions are not common, and there is no Sc
rious quarrel over the land question, but
the fact that the occupants of the soil
cannot own their own homes IS a serious
hindrance to enterprise and improvement
in developing the resources of the island.

The Modern Sea Reyers.

it, and iurriers cannot. turn it out

Monkey fur hasa very elgnut black

pared in Lcipsic. Germany, and ship.

are here made up in various forms

used principally for trimmings, cuffs,
