Another novelty is the "Blucher" Gig. p.
They are made on the Picadilly last, which
gives that slim effect to the foot now so
much sought after in the best grades of fine
wear. Tney are made in different combi-
nations of feathers, patent calf and French
enamel being the most used. They are or
namented with tOa-caps of var GUS designs
in outline, with fancy perforations. On the
ladies' Butchers the front lace-piece is of
a different leather from the quarters. The
quarters are stitched on the front lace
piece instead of its being stitched on the
outside of quarters as of old. The effect is
much handsomer The front edges of the
quarters are pinked and perforated with
fancy "Grecian" patterns or pointed seal
loped wheels.
Ia button boots the latest novelty is of
French imDortation Gig. 81, and first made
its appearance on the return of the gushing
bellies that ibid" the Paris exposition. They
are of a unique design that permits of
variety enough in combination TO suit the
most ultra tastes. Besides being unique in
design and color, its chic appearance is set
off by the presence of three broad ribbons,
one at the instep, a second at the heel while
the third spans the ankle, and each is
clasped by a light silver buckle.
The vamp, quarter, trimmings, and rib
bons may all be of different colors or
shades to suit the fancy of the wearer
kind of shoe that is we'll liked both by
ladies and gentlemen. They are light gray.
1t is said that black 50 soon shows the dust,
and on that account gray is far preferable
Gentlemen's gray shoes are made OF leather
and ladies' of silk cloth. The heels are set
round with pretty little silver-headed nails.
A shoe that doubtiessly will attract unusual
attention has seamless vamps of patent
leather, with tops of royal blue suede. The
lace fronts are of patent-leather, bound
with silver cords.
A fad, and a rather singular one, to
say the least, is TO wear perfumed shoes.
Many favor the Russia leather shoe on this
account, as it has distinctive odor that is
hard to initiate, although it is now being
done to some extent. AS the genuine Rus
STA leather is quite expensive, and thus can
be worn only by the wealthy, and as the
demand is for perfumed shoe in the me-
dunn grades, several of the leading shoe
manufacturers have adopted the plan of
sprinkling orris-root powder, in which is
sifted favorite sachet, between the leather
and the lining of their patron she's.

A PERsEVERING PRISONER.
He Would Have Dug his Way Out OF

He Would Have Dug His Way Out of
Jail If he Had Lived Long Enough.
W L. Alden in Trying to Find Europe"
"Perseverence will accomplish every
thing l had these words for a writing
lesson once and | shall never forget them.
1t is great thing to have perseverance,.
There was once man who was shut up in
a dungeon with walls POO feet thick, made
of the hardest kind of stone. He had no
tools except pair of scissors which his
brother had sent him in loaf of bread, but
he remembered that drop of water will
wear away stone if it falls on the stone
long enough, and that coral worm, which
is SO small that you can hardly see it, will
eat up and destroy "A coral reef if you viii
only give it time enough. So he said that
he would persevere and dig hole through
the wall of the dungeon with the scissors
and escape if it took him hundred years.
He had been digging about a year when
the governor pardoned him, and the jailer
brought him the joyful news. But they
couldn't get him to leave the dungeon. He
told the jailer that he had undertaken to
dig his way through the wall ana escape in
that way, and that he was going to stick to
it. no matter how long it might take The
jailer urged him to give it up and walk out
of the door, and even offered him $40 TO
give up his dungeon to a new lodger, bat
nothing could induce him to change his
mind. So he stad in the dungeon and dug
away at the wall for forty-seven years, and
every six months he had to pay a big bill
for damages to the JAIL and he finally died
when he was half through the wall This
shows what a splendid thing perseverance
IS, and that we all ought to persevere

Eben E. ReTJord, an Youths COMPANION.
He stood in the valley with eager eyes
Turned TO the peaks where the sunshine Law
oh, for the nights that are near the skies
The glorious nights that are far away"
He cried, as ever his longing grew
To climb the sleeps till the nights were won,
And ever wild unrest broke through
The daily tasks that must still be- DONE
1T must be lonely on those fair nights"
Said the friend he told Of his wild desire.
Better the valley of old Delights"
But the heart of the dreamer was all on fire
with the thought OF reaching the hills afar,
And he would not tarry with friends of old,
But followed the flash of ambitions star
And climbed up the mountain bleak aud cold
There were rocky places where feet must bleed;
They are awful chasmS where danger Law.
Through nights of darkness and days of need
Toward the peaks he longed for he took his
way
And nearer, nearer the peaks of snow
Each day the climber in rapture drew,
Forgetting the valley that lay below
And the valley friends who were kind and
true.
AT last the terrible nights were scaled;
Alone on the deSolate peaks stood he
In tn moment of trium ph his courage failed,
And his heart turned vallayward longingly.
O, to hear the voices of friends again,
To clasp hand that was warm and truei
0, to love and be loved, and to share with men
The little joys that the valley knew.
Better the valley with peace and love
Than the desoate nights some so Ills attain,
Lonely rs life on the hills above
The valley lands and the sunny plain.
What is fame TO love? Cln il satisfy
The longing aud lonely hearts of menu
On the nights they must hunger and starve
and die
Come back to the valley of peace again.

The Gainesville Advocate tells the fol-
lowing story about the phosphate craze.
The phosphate beds produce lots of funny
instances. A tall, lank cracker entered a

kerchiet full of rock and sand, and in a
husky and excited whisper, said:

After locking the door and seeing that
no one was hiding anywhere the cracker
slowly undid his handkerchief and handle
some rocks TO the chemist for his inspection
and asked: "What do you think of thatpI
The chemist carefully examined it and
said, Il do not think much of it." at the
same time pouring some acid on it which
caused it To etfervese like seidlitz powder.

Vinegar at q Communion Table.
From the Louisville Post


1t happened on Communion Sunday at a
prominent church il this city, and it was
not many Sundays ago, either. An exami-
nation just before the services revealed the
fact that no wine had been provided. The
minister was in quite predicament until a
lady offered to furnish the wine. Calling
her servrnt-the Intelligent James-sh3
sent him after it, saying that the jug con-
tanning the grape juice was in the cellar.
James fulfilled his mission. As the cup was
being passed around it was noticed that,
despite the holy influence which pervaded
the audience, many wry faces were made
As the communicates passed out several Of
the men wondered what was the vintage of
the wine. When the lady returned to her
home, what was. her horror to learn that
James had made mistake, and instead of
taking the wine-jug had got hold of the
vinegar. And some of the men are still
wondering where that wine came from.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-As there is ten

silk or morocco, white heels, ard
silver buckles; dark green with white,
reseda with pale pink, black with red,
gold color with gray, have all been popular
combinations. The fashion Of piping shoes
with color comes to US from the com mence-
menu Of the eighteenth century. The black
patent leather SHOE, with cOlored satin heel,
IS another fashionable style, and is q copy
Of French court shoes, worn very many

form. In some instances the fronts are of
patent leather, cut in scallops, and the
sdken laces of some bright c0l]r, as scarlet
or yellow. A notable example is seen in
laced walking boot Zig i, that has vamp
and quarter cut in one piece, from dark
gray morocco, and patent-leather trim
mlngs that extend from the toes, up the
lace FROM. and around the top. This
trimming is made the subject of much
ornamentation, being pinked and perfor-
a,ed in fanciful designs, and the stitching
is with corded silk, which shows off to good
advantage on the background of patent
leather. Another popularity is that the
patent-eather laps over the quarter deep

III mock buttonholes-worked with gray
silk-and thus give the foot the appearance
at a side view of the button boot, while it
has all the advantages of the lace.

for stitching. The vamp is pearl colored
