SHOES FOR THE DEAD.


A representative Of the Free Press,
mindful of the maxim waiting for
dead mems Shoes" raped at the door
and was answered by an ancient woman
smoking pipe. She took this out of
her shrunken jaws and saying she
smoked for the oothache-though not a
tooth was in sight-directed the way to
the mortuary shoe dealer. 1t was up q
winding stair. A pale young woman
answered the rap.
Eyes, we make shoes for dead folks;
here are some," and she took several
pairs of black, shapeless-looking boots
from box on chair which seemed to
have more left in it.
They were crotchet shoes made to
button up the back, and with the finn
siest of soles, and they had no shape
and were made to fit any foot.
Seeing the representative of the Free
Press examining them, the young
woman said sharply:
They're for comfort; they amt for
style. They're warm and snug, if they
don't look pretty. Mother and wear
them, and we amt dead, either"
The price was seventy-five cents pair
without ribbon bows. Cheap enough,
and yet the young woman said trade
was dull. The undertakers wouldn't
patronize them, and good many people
buried their dead without shoes; others
didn't pay for them.

mems wives at Essen drink coffee
from morning till night. Some consume
over pound of Ceylon coffee weekly,
and one pound contains over sixty,
four grains of caffeine. In consequence,
nervous, muscular and circulatory dis
turbances are frequent. The nerve
symptoms are characterized by feel
ing of general weakness, depression of
spirits, and aversion for labor even in
industrious subjects, with headache and
insomnia. Astrong dose of coffee causes
the temporary disappearance of all these
symptoms. The muscular symptoms
consist of distinct muscular weakness,
and trembling of the hands even dur
ing rest. The circulatory symptoms
are marked by small, rapid, irregu-
lar pulse, and feeble impulse of the
apex of the heart Palpitations and
heaviness in the precordial region are
frequent. The hands and feet feel very
cold, and the complexion becomes sal
low. Dyspeptic symptoms, chiefly of
the nervous type, are very common
