A curious shoe has been found in an
old house at Newburyport, Mass, recently
demolished, which was built in 100.
The upper is of calfskin and closed with
wax thread. The sole and heel are of one
piece and made of wood. The upper is
fastened to the sole with common tacks,
the edge of the sole being mortised the
thickness of the upper leather to receive
it. Across. the toe the tacks are brass.
On the under edge of the sole from the
shank is band of iron like miniature
horseshoe, channelled to receive the nails.
The heel may have been similarly shod,
but if so it has been worn off and the
wooden heel is well rounded by wear.
The shoe is fastened by an iron clasp,
which in its day was somewhat orna-
mental.

DAY.

Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY LLOYD DAY.
Amidst a new-hedged town called Day,
Where long since on this self same spot
stood. with scarce single cot
In visual range-and far away,
As any orbing eye could see,
From north 10 south and distant east,
Till radii ON the ether ceased,
Lay outlines grand perifery.
Aud westward lay the slope and dell;
Beyond. and overlooking stood
The mills ofgreater altitude.
That hid the sunset ere it fell.
The scene was more inspiring then
That twas tanglewoOd and wild,
Where fear-untrameled foxes whiled
In pranks about their rocky den.
And stole at night the hermit's brood;
Nor kist their cubs when morning came
That he breathed epithets Of blame,-
Because the foxes wanted food.
They hare there put himself to play
Beneath the SnelteIlHB cNSl6ASShi
Nor feared the owl that watched unseen
Would snatch him as her lawful prey.
And there the vultures had their roost
Before the times Of conflict came,
Where men for fears we will not blame.
Concealed them from the rebel host.
SO lay the western background When
\ scene as wild as any were,
With human footprints here and there,
And hence the contrast now and then
Through Art, which man claims as his own
But initiated nature will
Be ittest and the fairest STILL
Man tramples Natures beauties down.
And when he sees the havoc made,
Asifto make some recompense,
VIII build and plant and pillow and fence;
While nature scarcely owns his aid.
This spot seemed slow TO wake to see,
Within the sound of whistle peals
Where Progress passed OH flying wheels
Its impost then-and more to be.
While further on the same high way,
Distributing for three decades
The Mails-by unrequited aids
Another town as hapless lay.
Until we sought the Powers that be-
And asked them just 10 give us heed
While we set forth our common need.
With only this one simple plea
Will the Department hear our say?
Our prayer is brief, and hence excuse:
We are entitled to the News;
Please Send your Mail Messengers our way.
Now daily messengers arrive,
And we know what the wide world knows,
And how 1t comes and how it goes,
And know that other people live.
While rise those hills anent the West,
And storm and tempest beat their brow,
And lovely east will curve us now,
4 scene to thrill the human breast.
And while the morn breaks far away,
And moulten sunbeams are unfurled
To light from east to west the world,
So long will live the town of Day.

AMERICAN GIRLS WAISTS.
A Physician Says They Are Too Small
for Healthy Physical Development.
From the y. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

From the n Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Dr. J. G. Kellogg, of Battle Creek,
Mich, spoke at the Washington High
School to the girls of the school during his
visit recently.
He opened mis- remarks by announcing
that he was going to say some very I'M
pleasant things about young ladies. Not
withstanding their good looking faces, he
said, most of them are crippled and de-
formed.
The Doctor has devoted fifteen years to
the study of the human figure. He has
made measurements of the Mexicans, the
Italian, German, and French peasants,
and compared the size of their waists with
those of American girls, and has come to
the conclusion that the average American
woman is deformed, that her waist is too
small for her body. He had compared
the waist measurement with the height,
and, as a result of 200 measurements,
found that the average waist measure
ment is only 80 per cent. Of the height
The average waist of the American woman
is 24.6 inches. The waist of the Venus
de Milo is Il per cent. of the height.
With such waist as that woman could
draw good, biz breath.
The waist of women. he said, ought to
be larger than MANS because her liver Is
larger. He said SMALLER heart but a
larger liver" but not pleasing the young
ladies by this remark, he added: "Only
in quantity; in quality it is otherwise.
The Doctor said that those organs which
should be above the waist line are so
pressed down by tight clothing as to make
women deformed.
He called particular attention to the
fact that although woman doubled in
weight the measurement of her waist
didn't increase at all.
While in Washington the last few days
Dr. Kellogg has measured the waists Of
twelve little girls in private school and
found the smallest waist was 23 inches.
The average was p inches, one was 259
inches, and one 264 inches, and those
waists he said, would become smaller as
the girls grow older.
These restrictions of the waist cause
many other determines, such as hollow
chests, dropping and round shoulders.
DIR. Kellogg did not see any reason why
women shouldn't be as strong as men.
The Doctor spoke of the Swiss women who
carry heavy burdens on their shoulders up
and down hills, and said that they are
among the healthiest women in the world.
He showed by diagrams that the same
evils cccasioned in women by tight clothes
were to be found in men who wore belts.
