"UnIuckY Friday,

The theory Of the ill-fortune of Friday
is commonly attributed to the fact that il
was the day of the crucihXion, but the
superstition was more ancient than the
Christian era. 4 day corresponding to
our Friday, not then llnowa by that
name, was marked ''unlucky'' on the
Roman calendar, for on that day, b. G.
l05, two Roman Consuls were slain and
their army destroyed in Gaul by the
Cimbrians, and the ill-omened character
of the day was probably readily admitted
by Roman Christians. SO far as America
is concerned, the day has been anything
but unfortunate. Columbus sailed on
Friday, on Friday discovered land, on
Friday started on his return voyage, and
on Friday arrived at Palos. on the same
day he reached HIspaniola and discovered
the Continent of America. On Friday
St. Augustine was founded; on Friday
the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.
Washington was born on Friday, and on
the same day Bunker Hill was fortified,
Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga and
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. Arnold's trea-
son was discovered on Friday, and on
Friday John Adams moved in Congress
the independence of the United States
The Friday superstition is like the pre-
sentiment that something is going to
happen" men remember the few reali-
cations and forget the numerous failures.

EXCELLENT ADVICE.
Words to be Remembered by Young
Men Starting in Life.

-hSA SIsA1 11LSs ia A@AhS'
The New York Herald has this address
to graduates of the country's colleges for
this year. 1t is strong and, if little
coarse, is wise, and does the Herald
credit:
First--Get rid of the idea that you
"know it alp at the start. The cold, hard
fact is that you know mighty little, and
you must expect TO have q good deal OF
useful information kicked into you.
Fortune is not like an overripe apple
which drops into your lap while you sit
lazily under the branches. II you want
that apple you must shin up the tree and
tear your clothes while doing 50. MlcaW-
Der had firm conviction that something
would turn up" ] he waited long
enough, bat all creation proves THAT The
theory is incorrect, You can wager all
you have that ii anything turns up for
you it Nall be because goa make 1t turn
up 10y sheer strength.
Seconl-non't be in an awful hurry.
You arc not likely 10 Star;le the COM
nIuniry with The hriiliancy ofyour genius,
and il you pu on the airs OF superiority
people will get stitch IN The side laugh
ing at you. y on may feel Q;iite able to
run the universe on new and improved
principles, bat you had better suppress
the deluSion at once. If you have amy
real mettle you need not advertise the
fact. 1t Will make itself manifest in good
tiue and then you Will he all right. Your
surast way is not to talk loudly OF what
you can do, but to do it and let the
achievement talk for Itself.
When Webster delivered his great
speech against Hayne, people said it was
an eXtempore effort. Indeed, Webster
told friend that on the morning when
he was ascending the Capitol steps he did
not know what his line OF attack would
be, but added that it was by no means an
eXtemporaneous speech. for there were
twenty years of preparation behind it..
He had been accommodating material TOR
just such work as that since he had grad
uatcd at college. When the opportunity
came ne was ready for il was master OF
himself and OF the subject. There wasn't
half as much genius in the task as there
was solid work.
Some people will tell you that much
depends on good luck. It is humbug
and nonsense. An ounce Of pluck is
worth ton OF luck at any time.
Start in with the conviction that you
have a long and steady pull ahead of you,
with q pretty strong current, that will
sometimes be favorable and other times
dead against you. No matter about the
current anyway. Stick to your oars, pull
steady, with long stroke, keep your
wind, laugh whenever you get q chance,
cry if you must-but only when you
must-and remember that muscle tells in
the long run.

MAKING RUBBER SHOES.
The Process is Similar to that of Ma
ing other Foot-gcar.


Many people suppose that rubber shoes
are made by melting the material and
running it into molds. Such is not the
case.
The manufacture Of rubber shoes is not
very much different from the manufact-
uTc of leather Shoes. They are made on
lasts just the same, but instead OF being
sewed they are cemented.
I'VE get most of the raw material from
South America" said d drummer to a
Denver Ne,rs reporter. ''It is about the
color Of molasses. and is of a spongy
nature.
First it goes through a crushing or
rolling process, and comes out in rough
sheets and looks very much like cows
hide. Then il is taken into compound
ing-roOm, where il is mixed with a com
pound and vulcaniZed.
After that it is cut up into small
pieces, according to the parts Of shoes
which we wish to get, and is afterward
fitted on to lasts by the wOrkmen in the
same manner that leather is.
How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About ~
per cent. The best Para gum costs
ninety-fiye cents pound, SO you see
rubber boots and shoes can not be made
for nothing In the smallest rubber shoe
made there arc about four ounces OF pure
rubber, and from that to probably four
pounds in "a pair OF rubber boots.
''Old rubbers are ground up, lining
and all, into what we call rag carpet and
it is used for insoles.
The work is nearly all done by hand,
in the factories are employed young chill
dren. men and women. a bootmaker
gets twenty cents pair for making them.
and a good man can make from ten to
twelve pairs a day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with q total capacity Of over
$4,000 pairs of boots and shoes a day.
There are four factories having q
capacity of over 25,000 pairs each, and one
which has a capacity OF 10000 pairs a
day. 1t is a mystery where they all go
to-"
