Antiquity of shoemaking.

The first sole protector or rudimen-
tary shoe was the sandal, which con.
sisted of sole of some kind of skin or
of wood, held in place by straps and
thongs. In all countries, ancient and
modern, which have laid any claims to
even the rudest kind of civilization,
some kind OF covering or protector
for the feet has been recognized as a
part and parcel of the wearing apparel.
The thong fastened sandals of the
Greeks and Egyptians were the shoes
of Holy Writ. In Egypt the materials
used by the shoemaker were strips of
the papyrus, the paper reed of the Nile.
Woven strips of papyrus made light
and durable foot covering.
AS seen by paintings on the walls OF
Thebes, shoemaking forming distinct
branch of trade in the time of the
reign of Thothmes III, about 4o5
years before Christ, or about the time
of the flight of the Romans were both
the highly ornamented sandal and the
boot reaching to or above the knee.-

THE BAR-ROOM.

Young man! have not your eyes
been frequently attracted to a sign
having the following ominous word
on it: Barr"
Avoid the place; it is no misnomer.
The experience of thousands has
proved it to be
A bar to respectabllity.
A bar to honor.
A bar to happiness.
A bar to domestic felicity.
Every day proves it to be-
The road to des radiation;
The road to vice;
The road to the gamblers hell.
The road to the brothel;
The road to poverty;
The road TO wretchednesS;
The road to want;
The road to robbery;
The road to prison;
The road to the gallows;
The road to the drunkard's grave;
The road to hell.
Some, it is true, do not pass
through all these states, but intem-
perance, persisted in, always ends in
the drunkard's grave, and, we have
too much reason to fear, in hell.
The bar-room is truly
The curse of the drundard's wife
The curse of a drunkard's child;
The curse of the drunkard's home.
Those only who have known the
bitterness of being a drunkards wife
or child can know the misery and
the horror OF drunkard' S home.
Young man! before you enter the
ar.room, stop! ponder the path Of
your feet ere it be too late!
Man Of family! fl-e the bar-room,
as you would in honor fulfill The
pledge OF joys and of your SORROWS.

QUEER USES OF WORDS.

1t seems the most natural thing in
the world for Southerner in calling
another person to say, go, John !" but
it always seems TO amuse our friends
across the way. 1t is the go" that ex-
cites their merrment, and in attempt
ing to give the peculiarly they often
represent us saying, "Ho John, which
we never say.
Another Southern expression which
always sounds queer to Northern ears
is the use of the word "mighty" as an
adverb. But to those accustomed to
it, "mighty pretty conveys an idea of
beauty that the -burdened Northern
worn "lovely" doesn't reach. Turning
to Webster to see if it must be given
up, we find that it is allowable when
used colloquially. Good! We should
never want to use 1t except colloqui-
ally.
In the North a man fills his wagon
"box" with corn and draws it to town
in the South he fills his wagon bed
with corn and hauls it to the same
place.
In New England they say the going
(meaning the condition of the roads)
is bad in the South they say the travel
ing is bad. Perhaps to say the roads
are bad would be more intelligible than
either.
Southerners say like for if-as she
looked like she wanted to go. They
laugh at it in the North and In the same
breath say as for that l don't know as
l ever heard it here, and then the
Southerner laughs, and both are happy.
So ingrained are both expressions,
however, that the delinquents are sell
dom conscious of the delinquency.
A large proportion of grammatical
mistakes are common to the uneducated
| wherever they are found, but there are
some which are so peculiar to certain
sections that their use settles at once
the question of whether the person
using them is from the North or the
South. The expression l seen for 1
saw is very common mistake in the
South and rare in the North, while 1
seen him Yesterday for l saw him
yesterday, is common, even among
educated men at the North, is never
heard in the South.
This makes it difficult for writer's who
have never lived p certain section to
initiate successfully the dialect of that
people. They are apt to be betrayed
into the mistakes of putting into the
mouths OF certain class in another part
of the country, such words they
hear from the same class in their
| own section. This undoubtedly is
the difficulty which many North
ern writers find in truthfully portraying
the negro dialect. They talse as models
the negroes they have known, and
Judge, incorrectly ; that theSouthern
negro would be the same consequently
pracuced ear can almost always
detect the difference between one who
assumes a familiarity and one who is to
this manner born. The incongruity of
making a Southern negro say Whar be
you goin2 as we saw recently in some
stroy, is lnexpressibly ludicrous to one
familiar with their dialect. He might
say Whar you goin? or Whar is you
goin but never Whar be you golnf
The honor of the expression You be
belongs exclusively to the North.
What he would be most likely to say is

Old Newspapers in the Household.

The real value of old newspapers
about house is fully comprehended
by but few. Many people in wrap
ping up wooden goods to put away
forthe summer use clear brown paper.
Old newspapers are far preferable,
for the ink on them has been OBJ
served to be very obnoxious to
moths, insects, &c. A great benefit
can also be derived by placing a
layer of old newspapers upon the
carpet paper spread under carpets.
as it is a preventive to encroach-
ments by vermin, SO often the case.
Another useful attribute of paper
not generally known is for preserving
ice in pitcher OF water. Fill the
pitcher with ice and water and place
in the centre of piece of paper;
then gather the paper up together
at the top and twist the ends tightly
together, placing strong rubber
band around the coil to hold it close
SO as to exclude the air. A pitcher
of ice water treated in this manner
has been known to stand over night
with scarcely perceptible melting
of the ice.-Meav York TELEGRAM.

| do not mean for you TO go to

cylinder is sent to his correspondent,
who has the cyli2der inserted in the

Spooner has charge of the second
congressional district and it is
noticed that he has found time to
recommend 50 Offices and IoI still
remain to be changed. Mr.. Fol-
lette, in the Third district, has
kept up the average with 90 APP
polntments, out Of his total of 100.
Senator Sawyer does the recon-
mending in the Democratic Fifth
district, and there 81 changes
have taken place and II3 offices
still remain, presumably in the
hands of Democrats. In Mr..
Clark's Sixth district the average
of changes is trifle higher, and
while o. Republicans have been
supplied with post offices, but 81
Offices remain to be changed. Mr..
1augen has provided places for
1870 of his constituents in handling
mail at the post offices, and I65 of
the offices still remain unchanged.
Mr.. McCord has the largest dis
trict in the state, and one of the
largest in the country, but he has
been ableto provide Republicans
to fill 5Io post Offices in his dis
trlct, and has still 2o5 unchanged
post offices.

OF this number changes have
been made in 64S post offices.
This is not a very remarkably
large number when one considers
that a few Democratic postmasters
have died a number have resigned.
1t is quite a good showing for the
civil service reform, which, when
applied to these local and minor
offices, the partisans of either
party like best when it is carried
out ''by the other fellows"
Some Of the members have, how
ever been called upon by their
constituents to make quite
large proportion of recommended
tons, and some seem to have been
more adept at the business, or
have had more calls upon them
than others. In Mr.. Caswell's
district. the First, there have been
81 changes and 70 offices remain
