some instances, to home where
social leadership is hers 10y right, but
when she marres her husband is, in
many cases, man of distinct promi-

should be adequate for the new posi-
tion which she holds as his wife.
The social difficulties of college
girls usually arise from one of two
causes. In a few cases they do not
care for society, and scorn it outright;
Others do care for it, but are so alarm
ingly earnest, and (from the ordinary
point Of view so intimidatingly

manageable socially; between them

A Substitute for Leaf her.

Leather possesses such excellent
qualities for the many purpo seq to
which it is put that it would Iseem
idle to seek substitute. Neverthe-
less, there are many persons who,
while they find that leather serves as
an e1ectual protective covering for
the foot, find also that it is often OBJ
stlnate in adapting itself to the re-
quirements Of individual feet or to
the more or less physical abnormal
ties to which so many are subject In
SUCH cases. il comfort is to be expect
ed, only the most supple and Welding
Qualities should be worn. At the
same time, of course, it should be
waterproof and durable. These quail
tiles, SO far as we have been able to
Judge, belong in satisfactory degree
to an interesting and new material
called ftexus libra. It appears to be
flax derived material, suitably pre-
pared and oiled, SO that to all ap-
pearances 1t is leather. 1t is par
ticularly supple and flexible and takes
polish equally we'll with 3he best

We have recently had occasion to
wear a boot OF which the vamp or cut
front section consists entirely of
'fexus tibra," and have purposely
submitted it to somewhat undue

the sense OF comfort to the foot was

material of vegetable origin, is cal

comfort arising from what is called

SIGNALING AT SEA.
The International Code Now IN
Use Between All Civilized
Nations.

The international code of signals
was prepared and first published in
April, 1857, in accordance with the
views and recommendations OF a
committee appointed by the board
of trade. The code consists of IL
aags-namely l burgee, 4 pennants
and 13 square flags, and, in addi-
ton, an answering pennant" which
is displayed when the message is
completed and understood.
The 18 flags represent the conso-
nants of the alphabet, and it is by
a combination Of two, three or four
of these flags hung perpendieularly
to each other, that arbitrary signs
are made which represent words
and sentences of the same signifi-
cation in all languages. Each sig
nal has throughout the code but
one Specification.
A signal is always made in zone
hoist" in one place. The nature of
the signal is indicated by the num-
Der of flags hoisted, whether two,
three or four together. Signals of
two flags relate to danger, or dis
tress; signals of three flags to
general subjects of inquiry or COM
munication, including latitude,
longitude, and time signals; and
signals of four flags relate to names.
Single flags are not used in code
signals, with the exception of ''Yes"
and "No," and answering" pen
nants.
The flags to be hoisted at one
time never exceed four. 1t is an in
teresting arithmetical fact that with
IS variously colored flags, and never
using more than four at time, no
fewer than 1882 distinct signals
can be given. Two flags, as we
have already stated, indicate dam
ger and urgency. Thus, on turning
to the code we have such examples
as follows:
n G-I am unman- Y Gin distress,
apeable. want assistance.
n EDO not aban- NJ Want a warp
don me. run out.
While the foregoing system is in
universal use, the steamers of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company,
as well as other companies, signal
to each other by the Morse system
of dots and dashes, which at night
they can do by flashes.

announced by Funk and Wagnalls
Company. There can be no doubt
that the Impressions of the unso-
phisticated but irrepressible Sa-
mantha in regard to Christopher

tury admirers will be exceedingly
rich reading. Samantha went to
Chicago with authority to tender
the freedom of Jonesville to the
Duke OF Veragua, but why he has
not seen fit to accept doth not yet
appear. Possibly Josiah can ex-
plain on the ground that his too

field for Samantha's genius to caper

Mayor Harrison, Psderewski and

laughable. Her trip through the
Midway Plaisance, and her COM
