Antiquity Of ShoemakIng.
fst. Louis Republic.l

The first sole protector or rudimentary
shoe was the sandal, which consisted 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 COW
ering or protector for the feet has been
recognized as part and parcel of the
wearing apparel. The thong fastened
sandals of the Greeks and Egyptians
We're 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 papy-
rus made light and durable foot cover
ing.
-, AS seen by paintings on the walls of
Ihebes, shoemaking formed a distinct
branch of trade in the time of the reign
OF Thothmes III, about 1 ,495 years before
Christ, or about the time of the flight of
the Israelites. Foot coverings of the Ro-
mans We're both the highly ornamented
sandal and the boot reaching to or above
the knee

HENRY w. cRApY's NOVEL.
Its First Chapter Written When He
Died.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Mr. Henry ".
Grady's literary fame rests upon his
newspaper work. His journalistic
"knack" and tact were alike wonderful.
His instinct Of timeliness and his sympa-
thetic intuition enabled him to seize
upon every popular topic Giving as it
rose" His picturesque, colorfui style
gave grace to every subject.
"Why don't you write a novelY' was
question he was often asked.
81 have one on the Stocks" he would
answer, laughing ''Let me have little
bit of leisure-a June month in the coun-
try, thirty winter evenings by my ain
tireside and you'll see novel that will
astonish YOU"
The month OF leisure seemed never to
come to him. The novel never got off
"the stocks" Once he sketched the out
line of it for me. Dickens was Mr..
Grady's first and last love, and his en-
bryo novel was Dickensesque in plot and
style, with Droodish mystery brooding
over it to the end.
The opening chapter showed q mana
SOLITARY horseman' a lonely
road through the night and storm. He
crossed roaring river, and saw by
flash of lightning large house, set lit
tie back from the road, with wind blown
trees about it. The blinds of the house
were colored; no light issued from it, but
suddenly, as the traveller looked, there
came a wilder gust of wind, the shutters
of one of the windows was blown VIC
lently back, and the traveller had
glimpse of the lighted interior.
That one glimpse was full of horror.
1t showed the climax of tragedy. A
man stabbed to death by another man;
two women standing near, one still and
stern, the other stretching her arms i'm.
ploringly and sending forth a shrek that
sounded above the storm.
In another half minute the blind was
blown back to its place and all was dark
again. Before the stunned traveller could
recover himself fierce flash and peal of
thunder had startled his horse. 1t took
few minutes to quiet him, then the
horseman dismounted, opened the great
gate of the yard and hurried to the
house. His knock on the door was an
swered almost at once by black serv-
ant, who showed him into a room-the
very room in which he had Just seen a
bloody murder committed. He looked
around in amazement. No sign of muir
der or violence was here. No blood, no
body; no rage or terror in the faces that
turned upon him. He saw cozy room,
cheerful fire, family group; young
woman at the piano; young man stand
ing beside her; beautiful young mother
rocking her child in her arms; the father
reading in his armchair close by.
All turned and looked at the intruder
in polite surprise. He stammered out
his story, and was stared at suspiciously,
as if he was an escaped lunatic. 1t was
Indignantly denied that anything tragic
had taken place. He must have brain
fever or be subject to horrible illusions.
He was made almost to doubt his eyes
and to apologize for his intrusion. He
was graciously asked to shelter himself
from the storm; and he staid, and fell
under the spell of one of the beautiful
women, and but there ended this in
itial chapter of story that, like its
authors brilliant life, broke off abruptly,
leaving its sequel to be guessed.

Doctors Disagree About Paresis.

Doctors Disagree About Paresis.
From the N. o. Picayune.
According to one authority paresis is a dis
ease of the nervous system, characterized by
certain physical and mental symptoms. Among
the more prominent physical symptoms may be
mentioned a peculiar defect in speech. The
paretic speaks with a peculiar hesitancy or
drawl, and has great difficulty in articulating
certain letters and combinations of letters.
Later on the use Of the arms and Of the legs,
and, in fact, of all muscles, become impaired.
The mental faculties are invariably weakened.
The paretic is sometimes melancholic, but usu-
ally self satisfied, and has exalted notions of his
wealth, powers, and selfimportance. A second
specialist gives 1t his opinion that paresis is
change in the substance OF the cells NEW cell
growth) of the gray matter OF the brain and
spinal cord, causing new relations to be estab-
