teas. Now, tea was a little light for me
then, and she knew it, so just before the

pantry and fill me up with milk pudding
until 1 couldn't wink. Then I would
participate in the afternoon tea. Of

ODD FACTS ABOUT SHOES.

Grecian shoes were peculiar in reaching
to the middle of the legs.
The present fashion of shoes was intro
duced in England in 1888.
In the ninth and tenth centuries the
greatest princess of Europe wor wooden
shoes.
Slippers were in use before Shakes
peare's time, and were originally made
"rights" and "lefts."
Shoes among the Jews were made of
leather, linen, rush or wood; soldiers
shoes were sometimes made of brass or
iron,
In the reign of William Rufus, of Eng
land, in the eleventh century, a great
beau, "Robert, the Horned" used shoes
with sharp points, stuffed with tow, and
twisted like rams horns.
The Romans made use of two kinds of
shoes-the solea, or sandal, which COW
cred the sole of the foot and was worn at
home and in company, and the c~alceus,
which covered the whole foot and was
always worn with the toga when person
went abroad.
In the reign of Richard II, shoes were
of such absurd length as to require to be
supported by being tied to the knees
with chains, sometimes of gold and silver.
In 1853 the English parliament took the
matter in hand and passed IN act forbid
ding shoes with spikes more than two
inches in length being worn and manu-
featured.

JAPAN.

Japan, properly called Denipan, is the
great land of the rising sun. The harbors
of the island greatly resemble those of
India. The coast is very picturesque. AS
you approach the city of Yokohama you
feel a sort of pleasure. The strand for
miles looks over crowded with short sized
men and women, dressed in different cos
tunes. AS 500 as you land you are sur
rounded by men requesting you to make
yourself comfortable in their conveyances,
which are generally drawn by one and
propelled by another. The wheels of
these carriages are disproportionately
large, so that they seem to be in good
keeping with the size of the people, who
can be said to have no necks at all.
From Yokohama runs a rail way of
twenty-five miles to an immense city
called Toxic. This journey gives the true
picture of the rural life at Japan. Rice
fields abound all over Boiled fish and
rice form the only staple food of the peo-
pie; yet that has not in any way made
the people meek and timid like the Ben
gals. The Japanese are very brave and

THE WAIST.

Partisan women pay much more atten-
tion.to their figures than English women,
as the slender, tapering waist and full bust
of the French woman as compared with
the large waist and too often fiat bosom
of the English dame sufficiently testify.
This tapering effect is produced largely by
the corset, the French corset having fire.
quently two sets of lacers-one for the
waist, so that it may be compressed with
out drawing the shoulder-blades and mar
rowing the chest of the wearer. A
French woman, too, in making a street
costume, will line the jacket with a light
flannel and dispense altogether with the
under dress waist-the necessary warmth
being obtained by the lining with much
less bungling effect about the figure. An
English woman, on the contrary, will in
variably have the two jackets or waists,
regardless of increased ~stoutness it may
cause,

SOUTH AMERICAN osTR1cHEs.

The South American ostriches, or rheas,
go about the open grass lands in groups
of from twenty to thirty females, led and
carefully guarded by n male bird.
About the end of August the male bird
makes the nest, and the hens go down
one by one to lay their eggs, and the lay
ing season being over, the male bird pro
ceeds to carry out the incubation. The
process of incubation lasts over a month;
and the hatcher, knowing that his progeny
will soon surround him, turns out three
or four eggs from the nest, where in the
hot sun they soon become decomposed.
When the young birds begin to make
their appearance, the father breaks these
eggs, the flies get on them, and in twenty
four hours they are a mass Ct maggots,
thus supplying to the young brood tender
food until they are able to pick up IN
sects and grasshoppers.-M Y. Telegram.

Gently. cts interesting. I've been de-.
veloping the faculty of late and have great
fun out of it. Last week as 1 sat over
there on the side aisle Of the parquet
circle I saw several rows of chairs ahead
of me a young lady of my acquaintance.
She was sitting so that she would have to
turn clear around to look at me, and I
thought it a good chance to test my
power. l called the attention of my
companion to her and said: Now watch
me make her look around Then I con-
centrated my gaze On the back of her
bonnet and my mind on the idea of con-
trolling her action. By and by she began
to look around the house rather n~ervously,
glancing everywhere, and her she turned
clear around and looked straight into my
eyes. l met her afterward and told her
about it, and she told me that she. didn't
know what caused her to do so unusual a
thing. Now there's an acquaintance of
mine down there in the parquet-that
man slouehed down in his seat with gray
hair and a bald spot-see me make him
look around"
My friend knitted his brows and looked
at the bald spot lntently for FIVE minutes
without making it vince. Then he
frowned ominously and his gaze grew
more piercing. Still no effect. After
fifteen minutes of this he gave it up, say
ing the man had any mind anyway.
At the close of the performance an usher
went down and awakened the man with
the bald spot. He had been asleep

There are signs Of the revival of fine

heavy and effective, but a loom lace, is

wide Puritan collars and cuffs worn by
children a.few years ago are again re-

KANSAS SUGAR.
A Southern Paper Discusses the Sub
ject.

The New Orleans Times Democrat con-
tains the following concerning a great
Kansas industry:
The sorghum sugar industry has made
great progress in Kansas in the last few
years; and the Kansans look forward to
the time when they will be able to supply
a large portion of the sugar needed in
this country.
It was hoped that the development of
the sorghum industry in Kansas would
strengthen sugar before Congress, by
giving it allies on the republican side Of
the house. The concentration of the in
dustry in Louisiana has always been an
element of weakness, giving rise to par
tisan and sectional attacks on it. Louisi-
n has recognized that it would be bene-
flied if the manufacture of sugar was ex-
tended to all portions of the Union; and
it has therefore, given a helping hand to
Kansas, Florida and the other States
anxious to 90 into it.
