will read with pleasure charming
little posthumous poem from his pen,
called Her in All Things" William
M. Salter, in Emerson's Views on
Reform" shows what radical the
Concord philosopher was, and how few
of the most advanced reformers of to-
day are as advanced as he was in his
ideas of social comfy. Mrs. Marion
A. Mcbride writes instructively on
Home Making and House Building"
All young couples inexperienced in the
art of housekeeping should take Mrs.
McBride's hints to heart. Other sto-
ries and poems complete an exception
ally light and readable number.
THE CENTURY contains an article
on General Miles Indian Campaigns"
by Major G. w. Baird, one of his
former staff-officers. Since 1874 Gen
eral Miles has been an active agent in
the settlement of the Indian question.
His numerous campaigns against the
hostiles, from that year down to the
operations that eliminated in the death
of Sitting Bull last winter, are de-
scribed in this article, which is illus
trated by recent portrait of General
mlles, anu Wy seNeral JyplCdl drawings
by Frederic Remington. The city of
Paris, which DR.. Albert Shaw calls
"the typical modern city," is the sub
ject of paper by him. 1t will be re-
membered that DIR. Shaw has already
contributed to this magazine important
papers on Glasgow and London, and
the present paper is not behind the
former in the practical application of
its statistics and deductions to the cur
rent study of American municipal
government. He gives summary of
what Paris does for its citizens and
what it all costs. Altogether, the
paper is one that may proftably be
read by every American citizen.

How They Make Wooden Shoes.

One of the most interesting places in a
Holland village is the ElOmpen makers
shop, where kiompen, or wooden shoes are
made. Not far from Rotterdam, surrounded
by high bikes, lies the little village of Rij-
soord. In that village, beside the Skalky-
dix river, is shop in which an old man
and his son work early and late, supplying
the peasants (who never go barefooO with
shoes. These are first roughly shaped from
blocks OF willow wood, as statue is first
roughly outlined by chipping the marble
block, and afterward the shoes are finished
smoothly with sandpaper and pumice-stone.
The willow trees are grown for this pur-
pose, and when they attain the required
size, they are cut down, the branches are
trimmed off, and only the trunk is used,
being divided into blocks, each one of which
is the length of the longest shoe. The work
goes on without interruption through the
morning, unless some friendly neighbor
looks in over the half-open Dutch door;
and this is the occasion seized upon by the
two men for rehlling and lighting their
pipes, and drawing few long whiffs while
they listen to a little village gossip. AT
eleven o'clock the good CrouW appears at
the door with '"kotij, jongens - Coffee,
boys,) and they follow her into the adjoin'
ing room. 1t has a low, matched roof of
deep yellow reeds, and contains the great
fireplace where, in damp weather, the
newly-made shoes are placed before the fire
to dry. All their food is cooked in the
same fireplace, excepting the bread, which
in every peasants home is supplied by the
baker. The shoes are piled around the
smoldering embers, often with the tea-ket-
tie simmering among them and while the
sap dries out they give little groans and
sighs, as if they knew the hard fate await
ing them when the time sinai! come for
them TO cover the feet of some sturdy Dutch
peasant or workman, and to clatter over the
pavements of the town. After this morn
ing's relrtshment, which all of the peasants
enjoy, they return to works. Nicholas.

The Pyramids.

The old Egyptians were better builders
than those of the present day. In the Pyra-
mids there are blocks OF stone which weigh
three or four times as much as the obelisk
in Central Park There is one stone the
weight of which is estimated at eight hun
dred and eighty tons. There are stones
thirty feet in length which fit so closely to-
gether that penknife may be run over the
surface without discovering the break be-
tween them. They are not laid with NOR
tar either. We have no machinery so per-
feet that it will make two surfaces thirty
feet in length which will meet together in
unison, as these stones in the Pyramids
meet. 1t is supposed that they were rubbed
backward and forward upon each other
byteridn Banner.

EREATEsT SHOW ON EARTH.

An Immense D1splay-A Wonderful
 Aggregation-The Barnum & Bailey
 Circus To-Day-The Parade This
 Forenoon.
 To-day the city will be thronged again with people, and thousands will be out this morning to see the parade of the great Barnum & Bailey show, the greatest on earth. It is colossal in all it's proportions. The grand spectacular exhibition "Nero, or the Destructure of Rome," is the clos ing feature of the great performance. The
 Bridgeport Farmer says of it in speaking of the performance in Bridgeport last Sat-
 urday: 'It was most astonishing in the vastness of the scale on which it was car ried out and the exquisite beauty and picturesqueness of the oostuming and set ting. Nearly the whole of one side of the vast tent is taken up by scenery, faithful
 representations of old Roman scenes. Be- fore this is enacted drama that throws utterly in the shade so far as spectacular
 magnifcence is concerned, any theater
 performance ever given in America. The
 ballad consists of 100 Italian girls, assisted
 by almost as many men. There are cohorts
 of Roman soldiers, of barbarian warriors,
 of various nations and troops of priests,
 vestal virgins and soothsayers, as well as
 hosts of Roman citizens. In every particu- lar and in every class, the costumes worn in the time of Nero have been faithfully copied, not merely in style, but in texture
 and color. There are gladiatorial combats, the slaughter of the Christians, the danc- ing of the ballet, the grand triumphal pro
 cession and the destruction of Rome by
 fire, all presented with startling reality I and on grand scale."
 But besides this stupendous attraction 1 every performer in the show is new to it's patrons. There are also dozens of animals that have never been seen in this country before this season. including genuine zebra, all zebras heretofore exhibited as
 such to the contrary. Besides all this are the circus ndIhippodrome which are ahead of anything shown before. The street
 parade beats the record also. The Bridge
 port papers-s'The parade even exceeded
 in proportions and splendor the previous gigantic outdoor demonstration of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
 Earth It was headed by monster gild- ed chariot drawn by eight horses and fol lowed by train one mile in length of open cages of wild animals, camels with turbaned riders, horses riden by male and
 female jockeys attired in gaudy colors,
 brass bands and bell chimes and the con
 ventional steam calliope."
 The route of the street parade, which
 starts at 10 o'clock, is as follows:
 Howard avenue to Congress avenue, to Church, to Chapel, to Wooster square, to Green, to Olive, to Grand, to Elm, to York, to Chapel, to Church, and return to grounds on Kimberly avenue.
