THE CHINESE COBBLER.
He Makes Queer shoes and Knows How
to Charge for Them.

He Makes Queer Shoes and Knows How
to Charge for Them.
There are shoemakers and snoe-
makers in town, but about the most
unique among them all is the Chinese
cobbler who makes and mends soles
and uppers for the business men OF
Chinatown.
Formerly most OF the shoes worn by
the Cinnamon came from China, or at
least from San Francisco. Latterly,
however, a local industry has been es.
tablished, and despite the fact that
many Cinnamon are falling into the
habit Of wearing the barbarous foot
gear of the Caucasian. it is fourishing.
To the average person the shoes worn
by the Chinese are very clumsy affairs.
John himself does not think so, and he
backs up his opinions in good hard cash.
lie has to pay pretty we'll, too. for his
foot.gear. There are, of course. several
kinds of f~oot-gear, of varying qualities.
The shoemaker of Chinatown makes for
the humble employee in a laundry a shoe
with rather coarse cloth uppers. Tho
sole is made of heavy felt, carefully
sewed in layers until it becomes an inch
and more thick.
This he covers with a thick white sub.
stance resembling paint, the merit Of
which Is to be found in the fact that it
repels water and makes the shoe look
pntta c,Ntnly and evan fAr ., ttr,a EDp
this shoe he charges from 81 to S. Or
other shoes leather soles are placed.
Leather is more used here than in China
for tho making of these shoes, for leath.
err is scarce in the Flowery Kingdom,
and felt instead is used.
The rich merchants Of Chinatown and
the dudes, Of whom there are not a few,

times. The uppers of some OF these
| shoes are very loud indeed. They are OF
the finest sort Of silk or of satin, and
embroidered in the best style known to
Chinese ingenuity. These shoes may
cost from Sl2 to SIS, and are not to be
seen every day. In comparison to the
prices charged for shoes those asked by
Chinese shoemakers for slippers are
very low. The latter are often novel.
ties in their way, being made of woven
straw or bamboo, with fat soles and
, without heels.
In front, between the woven straw or
bamboo, strips OF different colored paper
are placed, giving rather a peculiar and
not d~isagreeable effect. The slippers
are very light and easy to the foot, and
are very cheap. 1t Is but truth to say,
however, that the commonplace Ameri-
can shoe is driving the Asiatic article to
the wall. and shoes made in Lynn are
finding favor with John almost as fre.
~quently as those made on the banks OF
the Hoang Ho. The more orthodox OF
the Chinese still stick to their sabots,
as they do to their queue, but they are
becoming a minority.-N. Y. Mail and

IL takes but a short time to 20 we an

then you have no young ones. The time

to come up; get the early bugs first
You will have no trouble to see them,

potatoes show very much fewer young
