MAN AND His SHOES.

How much a man Is like his shoesl
For instance, both soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right;
Both need mate TO be complete,
And both ara made to go on feet.
They both need heeling oft are sold,
And both In time viii turn to mold
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last, and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new.
When men wear out they're men dead, tool
They both are tread upon, and both
VIII tread on others, nothing loath;
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished. In the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you choose
To be man or be his shoes

Cloth Made of Glass.

Ever since its invention glass has been
found to be available for numerous pur-
poses as a decorative material, but it
was reserved for modern ingenuity to
conceive and carry out the idea of weav-
ing it into cloth. Not long since
Frenchman of an inventive turn of
mind discovered that it was possible to
make kind of cloth from glass, or
rather from glass and silk, the latter
forming the warp and the former the
wool The process of weaving is very
slow, and Of course the product is ex-
pensive, but not more SO than other fan
eies in decorative novelties in which
wealthy people indulge themselves As
the pattern of the material is worked in
the glass, which may be of any color or
variety of colors desired, its brilliancy
may readily be imagined. New York

Water Cures.

How water is the best thing that can be
Sed to heal a sprain or bruise. The
wounded part should be placed in water
as hot as can be borne for fifteen or
twenty minutes, and in all ordinary cases
the pain will gradually disappear. Hot
water applied by means of cloths is a
sovereign remedy for neuralgia and
pieurisy pains. For burns or scalds APP
ply cloths well saturated with cool alum

CUpied from morning till night. His
clerks sell shoes upon new and unique
plan, but one that is necessary to his
theory of what shoe is for. I saw one
fitting an elegantly dressed lady, and as
he passed his hand over the instep and
felt of the toe l expected him to say, af-
ter the manner of the usual shoe store
clerk, THAT is pretty large. Don't you
want to try half size smaller" But in
stead he quietly remarked: ''It is of no
use for you to take this shoe. It is
much too small"
AfterwaTd he explained in answer to
my astonished comment: eve have to
say that many times day, and Frequent

patronage depends mainly upon the COM

and consequently it is TO our interest for

be comfortable.
1t would be no small wonder if the
fashion should swing about even more
rapidly than it is doing to the lowest of
heels and the broadcast OF soles. Ever
since there were shoes and instability
in fashions the style has been going
from one extreme to the other For
some hundreds of years low heels and
high heels have been battling for the
mastery very much as they are doing
now, with sometimes one in favor and
sometimes the other.
At first, however, changes of fashion
were in the toes and not in the heels.
For hong time there were no heels, but
the toes were ridiculous enough to make
up for all the heel absurdIies which
their wearers might have thought of
but didn't. And right here, for the
benefit Of the sex which is supposed 10

was, | want to step aside long enough TO
tell how a chTonicler of the Fourteenth
century remarks that the shoes of the
ladies did not begin 70 com7are IN ex-
travagance of shape with those worn by
men. Another writer, of the time of
Richard II, gTumbles about the fashions
of shoes in this way: Their shoes and
patterns are shouted and piked, more
than finger long, oroohng upwards,
which they call crakowes, resembling
devils claws, and fastened to the knees
with chains of gold and silver"
a little later these crakowes were
forked and were worn almost rs long
again as the feet, $50 long snouted,r one
