The Litcrnture or oId shoes.

Miss Gray has collected some in
teresting literature on the subject of
old shoes for the use of students. 1t
includes some quaint advertisements
clipped from old newspapers in the
first part of the present century and
toward the end of the last by Mr..
Henry NJ Brooks of Salem, the schol-
arly antiquarian and secretary of the
Essex institute. Mr.. Brooks has also
made for the purpose a number of
notes from "Felt's Annals"
Among the information thus given
we find that the highest price of
mems shoes in 1870 was shillings,
for those of women 3s. Sd. In 1872 a
committee of Boston, considering
that people in low circumstances
will wear no other boots or shoes
generally but of the newest fashion
and highest price" proposed that a
law be passed that no shoemakecs
should sell to any inhabitants shoes of
II or ~ sizes above shillings pair,
and so in proportion as to other sizes.

The Subject of the Nude.

Ideas, If they are to be expressed in
graphic or plastic art, must be in
carnated, and the human figure is the
one great medium of expression for
abstract ideas in the arts That the
figure should be nude if it is to ex.
press great and simple ideas seems
almost natural AS Adam and Eve
''were naked and were not ashamed, y
SO the gods and heroes of all people
have been the glorified natural man
clothes were an impertinence to
Jupiter or Apollo. If one figures q
human incarnation of some great
idea-force or love or glory or beauty
it seems natural that the artificial
trappings of civilization should be
discarded, and one does not see what
costume could have to do with Mich.
ael Angeles Might" and Morning. y
Truth is always naked" and the
golden age had no need of clothes.
In this sort of work drapery may
indeed be used, but for ornament, moi
for covering. In ideal art the func
tions OF drapery are to give mass and
dignity to what might otherwise be
divided, to contrast multiplicity and
intricacy of small folds with the
broader forms of the naked body, tc
give variety of color to composition
that would otherwise be emonotonous.
Michael Angelo was, above all, g
master of the nude, but in his earlier
work he uses drapery magnifcently
for these ends.-Kenyon Cox il

smaI1ness of historic Places,

The strongest impression made
upon the American travelling in
Europe for the first time is usually
astonishment at the small size of the
historic places which he hasso longed
to see.
The royal chamber where the
grande monarque received brilliant
crowds of courtiers, foreign diplo-
matists and mobiles before rising is
too small to satisfy an independent
Irish-American cook who knows her
rights in this country.
The apartment of Mary, queen OF
Scots, at Holyrood, still garnished
with her mirror and bed draped
with gold embroidery, is still more
cramped, while the supper room in
which Rizzio was murdered is but a
narrow, dingy closet, reached by tiny
winding stairs such as usually lead to
garret.
The dwellings of the great Scotch
dukes and earls in Edinburgh in
ancient times were reached for the
most part through dark, steep alley
ways or closes not three feet wide,
and the homes of the great races of
Hamilton, Moray and Eglinton were
smaller, darker and more uncomfort.

Polling rrees hr stcnm.

England comes to the front with q
new invention of value a Chelsea
manufacturer has brought out an i'm
proved form of steam tree telling
and crosscutting machine. Since the
original patent was taken out for
these machines a number have been
sent to all parts of the world. They
are mounted upon strong axle, sup
ported on pair of wheels of such a
diameter as to enable the saw to cut
through tree at a height of about
three feet from the ground. This
skeleton carriage is fitted with pair
of shafts, which renders it readily
transportable through the forest.
After the tree is felled the entire
machine can be partially rotated
upon its axis so that by simply turn
ing hand wheel the saw can be set
to cut in a vertical direction, or at
any angle between the horizontal and
vertical position. 1t generally hap
pens, when large tree falls, that g
does not lie flat, as its branches holds
the upper part of the trunk off the
ground, and so, in order to crosscut
trees lying in such positions, it is
necessary to incline the saw some
what from direct vertical line,
which is readily done by the adjust
ment.-Duluth News Tribune

Flowers I'M Our Churches.

I am desirous that those who have
been brought under my ministry
should see a great deal more around
about them than other people are
accustomed to see. In looking at
the clouds 1 want them to have
some thoughts higher than those of
secular things. In listening to the
winds 1 want them to hear some-
thing more than the sounds of me-
chanical forces. 1 want the shak-
ing of the leaves of the trees to be
as the clapping of hands to them.
l want the seasons to be to them
preachers. And l want the in
fiuence of all these things to be on
the side of sweetness, faith. hope
and inspiration. Therefore, as I
preach a sweet religion, and not
sour one; as preach the beauty of
holiness, and not simply the terrors
of the law; as 1 preach the bright
and glowing character of the Lord
Jesus Christ, I enjoy having these
testimonials of the garden and the
field brought in here. Especially
do L esteem them because they edu-
cate men to go out into the garden
and the field and have flowers asso-
ciated with their own Imagination.
This cannot be otherwise so long as
they love flowers in connection with
the worship of God. l do not be-
Iieve child, brought up under my
ministry in this church, will ever
see flowers till he dies without hav-
ing some thought of religion, of the
sanctuary, and of the inspiration of
flowers. So, flowers at our services
have meaning. They are not in
any special way a symbolization;
they simply bring things common
into higher relation on a principle
of association; and having them on
the platform, besides affording plea
sure, to a certain extent interprets
part of my idea of the Christian
ministry.-From hitherto unpub-
lished material by Henry Ward

An Old Deed.

Somebody wrote me asking for
some specific information in regard
to the grant of the Penns to the First
Presbyterian and Trinity churches of
the property they now occupy, and
spent some time among the records
in the courthouse and elsewhere look
ing the matter up. The deed regis
tiers show that on the f5h of Septem
Der, 17s7, John Penn, Jr., and John
Penn decided to "the trustees of the
Presbyterian congregation of Pitts
burg and the vicinity" the property
in question. 1t was given Tin con
sideration of the laudable inclination
which they have for encouraging and
promoting morality, piety and re-
igion in general, and especially in
the town of Pittsburg, and in further
consideration of shillings."

Butler.s nraverv.

Colonel Charles L. Fuller of State
street has often testified to his
friends of the great esteem in which
he held General Butler as soldier.
That General Butler was physically a
very brave man is affirmed by Colonel
Fuller, who was in the generals com.
mand during the war.
During a reconnaissance of the en-
emy's position one morning the gen.
eral with some followers was cornered
by body of Confederate troops. To
escape it was necessary for the gen
erals force to travel across a piece of
open country which was swept by
the hostile guns. Every officer dis
mounted or crouched low on his
horses back. but General Butler alone
rode calmly across the open erect on
his horse and scowling complacently
at the firing troops. He was almost
the last to secure a place of safety

Improvement of HORSES.

The sooner the farmers in the
United States realize the fact that
the ordinary and commonly bred
horse is likely to deteriorate in
value year by year says Harpar's
Weekly, the better it will be for
them. The use of cables to drag
street cars has already reduced the
services performed by horses in the
cities, and the extension of the troll
ley system in the suburbs and tho
perfection of electric motors will re-
lieve many other thousands of
horses from such service. 1t has
not been very long since nearly all
the threshing was done by horses;
now only very small per centage
of even the threshing machines are
worked by horse powers. Prac-
tically all the ploughing is now done
by horses; but cheap and praeti-
cal steam plough will be shown to
visitors to the Worlds Fair, and it
is not improbable that in ten years
from now quite large per centage
of the ploughing will be done with
out the aid of horses. The need in
the cities and on the farms for fewer
horses will tend more and more to
reduce their market value. Com
monty bred horses will be the first
to deteriorate in price; indeed, it is
doubtful whether finely bred horses
will suffer atalI. There is no reason
why they should. The purpose for
which they are used will not be af-
fected by any inventions revolution
izing methods of transportation or
tillage. Even though we could fly
in the air with balloon entirely
under control, spin on the road
behind pair of trotters or gallop
across the country would give just
as much pleasure as ever it gave.
The horses who get the blue ribbons
in the horse show will continue to
be as valuable as ever, while hum
bier animaIs-those who drag street
cars and ploughs-will be the less
valuable year by year.

A Lesson In Street Car Etiquette Taught

1t was between and z o'clock in
the evening, and the fremont street
car was crowded A good many of
the passengers were workingmen,
and those who were fortunate enough
to have a seat, even if it was a very
narrow one, seemed to lose half the
pleasure of it in watching the door
every time the car stopped. Itreached
Eliot street, however, without an in
vasion of the fair sex. Then five or
six of them got ON board. The ma
jority of the new corners were young
and pretty and of that type who seem
to make a special study of the best
methods for making the male patrons
of street cars feel uneasy If they
happen to be sitting.
One of the arrivals, however, was
a motherly looking woman, whose
every feature indicated that she had
"a will of her own"
Several of the young girls had Sc.
lected the seats they meant to have
when they had ogled their present
occupants out of them, and one young
man with q careworn look, who knew
he was a victim, but did not want to
give up the battle, decided to com
promise rather than acknowledge his
defeat. He got up and offered his
seat to the motherly looking woman.
Instead of quietly dropping into the
vacancy, as is usual in such cases,
the woman turned and said:
No, thank you, sir. am as well
able to stand as you are. You had
better keep your seat" Then. warm
ing up to the subject, she continued:

live in an age of pressure and hurry,
that nervous tendencies are detected

Right You Are.

The campaign of 1898 is over, but
its fame is as burning taper that
lights up the darkness of a political
struggle that now forms part of
American history. The two great
parties came together in earnest
conflict. One advocated the advis-
ability and necessity of continuing
agreat principle ofeconomic science;
and the other not only questioned
the wisdom of SO doing, but contend
ed for radical reform. The tariff
question with its innumerable in
tricacies and profoundity of bear
ings superseded all other issues and
proved to be the vantage ground on
which was fought the greatest ofalI
"battles of ballots" Other ques-
tions of less import commanded the
attention of the people, but it is
manifestly plain that the political
scales weighed no subject of deeper
moment or more vital interest than
Protection and Tariff Reform! The
country is now under Democratic
Administration and the people, who
by their suffrages placed the party
in power, except a substantial and
radical relief from the burdens and
iniquities of Republican rule. If
this relief is afforded, the Demo
cratic party will have a long lease
of power; if it is not the party will
suffer in consequence of its derelic-
ton of duty. 1t behooyes the Dem
ocrats to fulfill their pledges. Un-
der the efficient leadership and
wise craftsmanship of Grover
Cleveland and his able coterie of
advisors, the country is safe and we
believe that every declaration of the
Democratic party will be substan-
tiated.-Stdte Times.
