Utilizing Old Shoes.
An absent New Yorker of an inquir-
ing turn of mind recently saw some
rag pickers gathering up some casta-
way shoes, and began to inquire what
it meant. He soon learned that there
was a market for these articles, and
after leaving the feet they come to
very honorable estate and position.

to manufacturers of the most fashion
able kind Of wall paper. So he went
to one of these establishments to get
an insight into the matter, where the
foreman made the following explana-
tion.-"We buy" said he, 'all the old
boots and shoes the scavengers 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 them. Then
the nails and threads are removed,
the leather ground up to a fine pulp,
and is ready for use. The embossed
leather paperings which have come
into fashion lately, and the stamped
leather ire-screens are really nothing
but thick paper covered 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. Fash
ionable people think they are going
away back to the medisHval time when
they have the walls of their libraries
and dining rooms covered with EN-
bossed leather. They don't know
that the shoes and boots which their
neighbors threw into the ash barrel a
month before form the beautiful
material ON their walls and on the
screens which protect their eyes from
the fire.
1--WE could buy the oldshoes cheaper
if it were not for the competition from
carriage houses and bookbinders and
picture-frame makers. / don't know
how many other trades use old shoes
and boots, but the tops of carriages
are largely made of them, ground up
and pressed into sheets. Bookbindcrs
use them in making the cheaper forms
of leather bindings, and the new
style of leather frames with leather
mats in them are entirely made of the
c~ast-off covering of our feet. "-Ameri-

A LacOnic Letter.

The late Mr.. Bis gar left considerable
property. In addition to his own in
come, derived from large and prosper
GUS business, he inherited legacy of
100000 from his father a few years ago.
The latter, says the New York Tribune,
was strict Presbyterian, and heard
with horror of his sons conversion to
the Roman Catholic Church. The cor
respondence between the two was char
acteristically laconic. Mr.. Biggar, Sc
Nor, cut out from newspaper the
paragraph announcing his sons admis-
sion to the Church of Rome, and in
closed it with the following note:
Dear Joseph: Is this true? Yours,
J. B."
Mr.. Biggar, M. P, replied on the fly
sheet: 'Dear father: 1t is. Yours, J..
G.. B."
Alter this the father threatened to
disinherit the son, but relented before
ne died, and did nothing worse than cut
him off with the trife of 100000, men,
Toned above.

Color Blindness.

1t is related by Mr.. Hughes that,
while acting as assistant engineer on
the Granton railway, he frequently re-
turned on one of the engines from Gran
ton to Edinburgh and, on these occasions
he said that, although his undivided at
tention was directed toward the signal
lamps, the lights Of which were visible
to him long way off, he could not, un-
til he was close to them, tell whether
they were red or green. These are the
two colors most commonly confused,
but, fortunately, they are visible to the
majority of color. blind persons when
strongly Illuminated; railway guards,
therefore, are less liable to mistakes by
night than by day. Inability to discern
any colors at all is remarked as being
very rare and. in fact, has never been
satisfactorily proved. Again, color
blind person may have as good sight
in other ways as anybody else; the de-
feet is not occasioned by any disease in
the eve, but seems to have its origin in
the brain. A red-green blind person
sees only two colors IN the spectrum; all
the colors on the side of the red-warm
colors-are confused together and all
on the side of the vioiet-cold colors-
but the warm and the cold are never
confused. Yellow is the one color al
ways distinguishaDle. Singular enough,
color blindness and inability to dis
tinguish musical sounds are often as
sOciated

Editor Orange Judd Farmer:
In my previous letters l have written
only of the fruit and vegetable resources OF
the Grand Valley. | wish now to call at
tention to some other resources Of this ia
vored locality. Immediately surrounding
the valley are the famous Book Cliff Noun
tains; through these cliffs. for miles. large
coal measures crop out at the surface. The
coal is varied in kind and quality, including
large veins of a fine bituminous variety suit
able tor domestic and steam purposes, and a
fine quality of cooking coal, and in quan-
ties that are practically inexhausuble.
Back OF the mountains containing coal. tho
precious mineral bearing mount ains begin.
in which the famous mining camps Of Lead

mining camps are situated. All OF these
are tributary by simple avitating power
to the town OF Grand Junction. which will

building make this one of the great Smelt-

Now with regard to railroad facilities.
Gi and Junction is to-day the terminus of
the Denver Il Rio Grande narrow gauge
ftom Denver westward. and the terminus
OF the lilo Grande Western from Salt Lake

are to be com pleted by next June. the grad

The Ability to Bear Pain

Is the test of fortitude among the Indian tribes
But we defy any Cherokee, Sioux or Comanche
to endure the twinges of rheumatism without
wincing. These, indeed. are slight at first, but
grow in intensity until they become unbearable.
No malady is more obstinate in its maturity
than that which gives rise to them. The more
need then, of attacking it at the outset. Fore
most among remedies for it is Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, safer and infinitely more effective
than colchicum, veratrum and nux vomica, all
remedies which might prove destructive of life
in a slightly excessive dose. Mineral depurents,
also, when not positively mischievous, are far
inferior in remedial power to this salutary bo
tanic medicine. 1t entirely expels from the
disease and enriches as well as cIeanses it.
Constipation, liver complaint, dyspepsia and
other ailments also gives way to it.

premonitions of consumption, his strength
failed, his cheeks grew hollow. and he
seemed doomed to an early grave. Then a
friend advised DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. He tried it and was saved.
Health and strength returned, his cheerful
voice rang out again across the school play
ground, his cheeks again grew rosy, his
eyes bright. He is still 'the pride of his

From the Philadel phia Press.
If our naval officers cannot devise a
plan by which seamen can rise, they will
have to do without, American seamen.
We bave to-day the inost exclusive corps
of officers in our navy afoat under any
flag in the world. The English had,
year ago, an admiral who had risen from
the forecastle. A commander is usually
quoted as the highest rank which has
ever been reached in our navy by a
man who had begun life as seaman.
Most naval officers honestly believe
that by no possible plan can discipline
be maintained and seamen allowed to
rise. This belief was once held of all
walks OF life. 1t has been exploded.
The superstition survives under our
flag only, on the quarter deck of our
navy. If it is true that seamen cannot
be allowed to rise, our navy will have
to get along with only half it's force or
less made up of American citizens. No
pay will tempt Americans while pro-
gress is barred.
