and has attained a notoriety hattering OF

tute has been better known or more mark

freedom froD conyenti0nality, have been
the theme of the novelist and the horror Of
the dowagers having manageable daugh-
tiers. Considered as stock, the Ameri-
can giri has been quoted high, and the az
liances that she has formed with families

RUBBERS.
Where the Material Comes from, and How
They are Made.

They are Made.
Many people suppose that rubber anoes
are made by melting the material and
running it into moulds Such is not the
case. The manufacture Of rubber shoes Is
not very much different from the manutac
ture of leather shoes They are made On
lasts just the same, but instead OF being
sewed they are cemented.
Owe gel most of the raw material from
South America, said a drummer. Il is
about the color OF moasses ana is Of a
spongy nature. First it goes through a
crushing or rolling process and comes ont
in rough sheets and looks very much hike
a cows hide, then it is taken into a com
pounding room, where it is mixed vita
compound ard vuloanized After that it
is cut up into small pieces, according 70
the parts of shoes which we wish to GET
and is afterwara 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 40 per
cent. The best Para gum costs S5 cent' a
pound, so you see rubber boots aud shoes
can not be made for nothing IN the
smallest rubber shoe made there are about
four ounces Of pure rubber, and from that
to probably four pounds IN pair Of Tap'
Der boots.
"0ld 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,
and in the factories are employed young
children, men and women. A bo7tmakpf
gets 20 cents pair for making them ana
a good man can turn out from ten 70
twelve pairs a day
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot aud shoe factories ia the eo9n,
try, with a total capacity of over l50W
pairs of boots and shoes a day.
There are four factories having a ca
pacity OF over 25, 900 pairs each, and one
which has capacity Of 10000 pairs u
