HOW TO WEAR SHOES.
A Dealer Gives Kocfpo for Prolonefng
Their Usefulness.

A Dealer Gives Recipe Tor Proiongfng
:. Their Usefuiness.
People who feel that their shoes wear
out too quickly should heed the words
Of a dealer In Chicago, who tells the
Mail: "Do you know there isn't one
man IN five hundred who knows how to
wear shoes? The average man buys 3
pair of shoes, wears them until they are
no longer presentable, and then throws
them away and buys another pair. A
man ought to have at least two pairs OF
shoes for everyday wear, and no pair
should be worn two days in succession.
At first thought this may strike you as
a scheme to benefit the shoe dealer, but
1t is nothing Of the kind. In fact, such
a plan would injure the shoe business.
Two pairs Of shoes worn alternately
will last three times as long as single
pair. The saving, OF course, is made in
the wearing Of the leather. A pair of
shoes worn every day goes to pieces
more than twice as fast as pair worn
every second day. No two pair fit your
feet In exactly the same way. In one
pair the strain and wear of the leather
falls heaviest upon one particular part
of the shoe and in another the greatest
wear and tear falls upon another part
altogether. l took a trip through Eu-
rope last summer and in several places
was surprised to find the shoes worn
by peasants have no right and left
distinctions, but are worn on either
foot. was told that such shoes were
preferred to those which more closely
conform to the shape Of the foot, be-
cause they last longer, since the strain
upon any part of the shoe to-day is
changed to another part tomorrow

Protection Has Reduced Prices In Canada.
An interesting discussion is taking
place in Canada as 10 the variation in
the prices of cotton and wooIer goods
under the protective tariff. The inquiry
seems to show that so far from prices
having increased owing to the additional
duties th-t we're imposed twelve years
ago, they have decidedly fallen off. It
is stated that many articles which had
to be imported in 1878, not being made
in the country, are now regularly and
extensively manufactured: for instance,
Canadian prints, white cottons, horse
blankets aud wooden shawls. The prices
of these in 1878 were respectively twelve
cents per yard, ten cents per yard, two
dollars and five dollars. At the present
time they are less by 25 per cent, and
the same remark applies to such cotton
good as shirtings and gray cottons, and
equally SO to many woolens. 1t is inter
esting to recall that when committee
of the Dominion house of commons in
1874 was inquiring into the question of
the flooding OF the Canadian market by
American goods, to the detriment of Ca
madam manufacturers and with the ulti-
mate result Of raising the price TO the
consumer, it reported as follows: T.
"The almost uniform testimony be-
fore your committee was to the effect
that an increased Protection to manu-
facturers will not L cessarily increase
the cost of the manufactured article to
the consumer, and in the opinion of your
committee the witnesses have made out
a very strong case in support Of this
view. II, therefore, Canadian industry
be relieved from the pressure of such IN
due competition as that referred to in
the first paragraph of this report the eff
feet will be that the manufacturing
establishments will be worked to their
full capacity, and the cost of production
and the consequent cost to the consumer
will be proportionately reduced" ."-E0n-

Our Lost shipping Bounty Ell

One Of the greatest pleasures attend
ing successful sascaity lies in recounting
the steps involved in its achievement.
This pleasure u denied to the enemies of
American industries, for their heelers
would be discredited by any such relation
Of the facts But it is impossible in all in
stances to suppress more or less satis-
fed reference TO the processes by which
the result was accomplished, either
through "ghoulish glee" or from mere
inconsiderateness.
An instance Of this difficulty is shown
in The Blue Peter, new British ship
ping journal, which says:
~Noe that Uncfo Sam is so entirely
proof against argument. What he re-
quires is that 1t shall be expressed in dol
lars and net merely founded on eztracts
culled from Adam Smith. His original
shipping bounties bill became a postal
subsidy bill in consequence Of formida-
BILE array Of figures showing the failure
of the bounty system on French ship
ping, which was thrust under his nose By
interested parties"
From this it seems that when Ropre-
sentative Fithian was charging Charles
s. Hill with being "a lobbyist in the in
terest Of legislation, the history Of which
lenders it at least questionable" inter
ested parties were expressing in dollars
the arguments which debased the orig
inal shipping bounty bill into the pos
tai subsidy bill and cut the remuneration
for postal subsidies down TO two thirds
of the original figure.
No wonder that British vassallnsn are
iubilaut.

sponsible for the lower prices for Arieri-
can wool as compsfed WIN this time last
year, yet as the consumption Of wool In
Che United States is increasing, as it 10
under she Mckinley bin, there is the
best prospect for good demand for the

the value Of the competing foreign wool,
and while there may be some disappoint-
ment that prices are not higher, it must
be remembered that with the present
tariff the American wool grower re-
ceives about twelve cents per pound
more for his wool than is obtained by
growers Of similar wool in other parts OF
the world, and this much more than he
would receive without this degree Of

American Goods the Bes 1.

We remember very distinctly the time
when American goods were looked Upon
in almost every line as being of an in
ferior quality, especially as regarded
textile fabrics. Everything to have the
stamp of quality, durability and excel
lence, must be imported or be of foreign
make. This, however, has entirely
changed. You can 60 into some of our
large clothing houses and find o lsbel
upon madeup suit, 'This is exclusively
American and guaranteed to hold its
color or money refunded"
The same can be said today of fast
black hosiery, Of silks and other Lines Of
domestic dress goods 1t requires an sx-
pert to distinguish any difference be
tween many lines Of American and for
eign goods, and even an expert caIinot
tell in some instances whether the gooda
are made in this country or in Germany.

II has often been claimed that tattoo

Chemists and others have for years ex-
perimented with various preparations,
in the hopo Of discovering some agent
to wholly remove india ink-marks from
the human skin. Nothing, however,
has as yet been found that will remove
a portion even Of the Objectionable
marks, unless, possibly, the attempt be
made Immediately following the tattoo
ing process. At Mount Washington
university hospital, Baltimore, an ex-
pertinent was some years ago made in
presence of the writer upon the forearm
of a noted character of that city who
died there. Before his death the man
granted permission to the students of
the university to experiment as they
saw fit with his dead body. One of
these students, curious to learn every
thing possible connected with the prac-
tice OF tattooing, cut from the dead
mans arm strip of skin upon which a
coat of arms appeared. Beneath the
skin the design remained visible. BY
degrees the flesh was removed, the de-
sign in india Ink still remaining In
sight until finally the bone was reached.
After thorough sponging for the pur-
pose Of removing the blood and pieces
OF flesh remaining, 1t was found that
the representation still appeared. At
ter cutting away small section of the
bone, the india ink mark was found to

a Pnff OF Star-0azers Dunte on Love,
Poetry and the Pole Star.
He was an neavesdropper, but one upon
whom the office had been thrust, says
tho Kansas City Star. Hc had en-
scorced himself In corner Of the vinc-
Glad vera.rfa to smoke the cigar of re-
Election when these thcosophical lovers
strolled out to sniff the evening mir.
They seated themselves on the topmost
step and while his arm cncircled her
waist she remarked:
II particularly love that star"
(which one?''
THAT one," said she, pointing TO tho
outermost lower star OF the dipper's
bowl
"a very natural preference"
"WhyT'
"Two thousand years ago that was
the north STAR" said he, "nnd doubtless
In your life that you then lived you
were wont to refer to it as you now re-
fer to Polaris, the present north star.
Who knows" continued he, in his grow
ing enthusiasm, "but that you were an
Egyptian trader, and that as your cara
van wended its long-drawn way across
the traclkless desert you looked to that
star for guidance, and that the habit
thus formed has penetrated your pres
ent life In the form Of an indefnable
preference"
"But where were you then?" she
tremulously inquired as she seized his
disengaged hand, she being but recent
convert to the doctrines of Karma, and
her feminine soul, with it's pleasant
dreams Of wedding flnery, suffering
slight shock at the thought of any con-
dition in life in which there was neither
prospect nor propriety of husband fig
uring.
But the lover was now lost in the as
tronomer. He was teacher, and, true
TO his pedagogic instinct, he proceeded,
while he looked reflectively toward the
east:
"Yes, indeed, and in twelve Thousand
years that star Lyra, in the constella-
tiop of the harp, that you may see just
rising through the trees, will be the
north star, for the earth's motions, you
must know, are precisely like those OF q
top. 1t revolves on it's axis, and at the
Same time this axis describes wide
circle of It's own. 1t is this latter mo-
ton that causes the change in the north
star, since the orb so named is always
the one toward which the earth's pole
is then pointing"
She sighed, and after little pause
said in a discouraged tone: -
"Iwonder what you and will be do
ing when Lyra is the north star9"
Promptly the professor quoted:
II vex me not with breeding on the years
| That were ore drow breath; why should then
| Distrust the darkness that may fall again
| When life is doneH Perchanoo In other
spheres" -
"Poetry and theosophic poetry at
thatw uuttered the eavesdroppen
"This is too much"
There was loud rustling among the
vines. The professors quotation ceased
abruptly, and his arm took O more con-
| ventional posture. r
