JapaneSe Wooden Shoes.

In Japan children's shoes are made
of blocks of wood secured with cords
The stocking resembled mitten, hav'
ing a seperate place for the great toe
AS these shoes are lifted only by the
toes, the heels make q rattling sound
as their owners walk, which is quite
stunning in a crowd. They are not
worn in the house, as they would in
jure the soft straw mats on the floor.
You leave your shoes at the door. Ev-
cry house is built with reference to the
number ofmats required for the floors,
each room having from eight to six
teen, and in taking lodgings you pay
so much for mat. They think it
extravagant in us to require q whole
loom to rselves.
The japanese sho" gives perfect free
dom TO the foot. The beauty of the
human foot is only seen in the Japa-
nese. They have no corns, no ingrow-
ing nails, no distorted joints. Our
toes are cramped until they are de-
formed and are in danger of eXtinc-
ton. They have the full use of their
toes, and to them they are almost like
fingers. Nearly every mechanic make
use of his toes in holding his work.
Every toe is fully develope. Their
shoes cost one penny and last six
months.

Weather Wisdom.

I.aning, in his "Weather WISDOM"
says:
A deep blue colored sky, even when
seen through the clouds, indicate fair
weather; growing whiteness, an ap'
preaching storm.
When the sky in rainy weather is
tinged with sea green the rain viii
increase; if deep blue it will be show
cry.
A pale yellow sky at evening indi'
Gates wet weather.
A neutral gray sky at evening indi-
Gates fair weather.
The same in the morning indicates
wet weather.
Haziness in the air, which fades the
suns light and makes the orb appear
whitish or ill-defined, or ut night the
moon and stars grow dim, indicates
rain will follow.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1891-11-11
Abstain.

A schoolbOy in Australia recently
put the matter tersely, thus: II abstain
from liquor because if | wish to excel
as cricketer, Grace says 'abstain;'
al walker, Weston says abstain; :.
as all oarsman, Halon says 'abstain;'
as a swimmer, Webb says 'abstain;'
as missionary, Livingstone says alb
stain;' as doctor, Clark says 'aI,siain;
as a preacher, Farrar says 'abstain." !"
Asylums, prisons. and work-houses
repeat the cry, Abstain"

An earthquake in Japan, October q,
destroyed the towns of Nagoya, Gifu
and Ogaki. Probably three thousand
persons lost their lives. Many vessels
were wrerked. Few portions Of the
Niphou Islands escaped the earth
quake.

1t comes from Nashville that 5000
miners liberated an equal number
of convicts from their stockade and
furnished large number with citizens
clothing to facilitate their escape.
This is a continuance of the agitation

Suffering produces different results
IN different cases. When we accept it
III the right spirit, as the beneficent
appointment of our heavenly Father.
1t cleanses, humbles, and sweetens our
hearts; but when We rebel against it,
and resent the fact of its having been
sent upon us, it makes us coarse and
bitter and hard. We must determine
for ourselves whether it shall bring us
harm or damage.--Nashville Chris.
