Small Demand For shoes.

People have not been lavish in their
purchases of shoes of late years. The
surplus of them is undoubtedly smaller
than usual, and yet the quantities dis
tributed throughout the country have
been sufficiently extensive to enable deal
ers thus far to meet all the require
ments of their customers by simply buy.
ing few stray lots here and there to
piece out assortments. The accumula
tons are dwindling, however, day by
day Because there are more shoes being
consumed than there are being manu-
featured.
When the clouds vanish from the com
mercial horizon, as nobody doubts they
willard it does not look reasonable
they should obscure the prospect much
ionger-there will be greatly enlarged
markets all over the land for shoes. But
for the present there is not much to b.
done except to get under cover, if there
is any shelter anywhere, and wait until
the storm ubsides.-Shoe and Leather

Pathetic Ignorance.

Thoughtless persons may be moved t.
laughter by the report that an inhabita1

been divorced from the bonds of matri

rather than jocose. 1t is probably only
a single example of the large and multi
farious ignorance prevailing in some
parts of the community. 1t would be
sufficiently distressing if the ways Of
these uniformed persons lay among q
pure and pastoral simple people, never
disposed to take any advantage of the
unskillful. When in these metropolitan
districts so many ravenous wolves of all
sorts are abroad intent upon preying on

Australian PIutocracy Nil.

With all its faults, with all its igno-
rance and with all its passions the de-
mOcracy of Australia has a political
ideal. The plutOcracy has none. 1t is
fully occupied with its own affairs. 1t
rallies to no public cry. This is the
feature OF Australian life which seems
to threaten most danger to the future.
The country which is not governed by
its ablest men is badly governed, and
the inclination of the more cultivated
classes to abstain from touching the par
hamentary machine does infinitely great

The Christmas Tree.

There was a bevy of happy little
faces gathered at Munro's Hall Sun
day night to attend the Christmas
Tree. There were also many of their
parents and friends present. Two
trees, loaded with Santa Claus gifts,
were arranged one in each corner in
front of the stage.
The exercises opened with a Christ
mas carol by a group of the children,
which was very prettily rendered and
elicted the admiration of old and
young.
This was followed by representa-
ton of old Father Time e.. Pollard) ],
with his hoary locks, holding aloof
his allegorical scythe that mows down
the harvests of the years and gathers
them in, surrounded by a group of
little ones, to whom he gives audience.
They retired and twelve of them (boys
and girls), representing the months of
the year, pass in review before the
monarch of the years, each speaking
a piece and retiring. The subjects
were appropriately selected and neatly
executed by the little folks.
A Christmas hymn was next sung,
after which Daisy Briggs and frankie
Miller recited a pretty little dialogue
that brought down the house. They
were the bright little stars of the
evening.
Whoever was conducting matters
behind the screen must have thought
the audience was clean gone on the
musical talent of the "grown-ups,
for another hymn in anything but
tuneful accord was inflicted on the
house.
Then up stepped jolly old Santa
Claus will K. House,, clad in his
traditional costume, and greeted the
little ones in his own joyous way. 1t
was an informal reception in which
Santa and his young friends shook
hands, kissed and romped around.
Then followed the stripping of the
trees and presentation of gifts which
lasted an hour or more. The affair
throughout was one of the prettiest
and most interesting Christmas enter
tainments we have ever witnessed.

OsceOla District.

In connection with the growing in
terest in gold discoveries to the south
west of the city, the Tribune has once
ortwice mentioned the district of Os-
ceola. 1t is as old as Camp Floyd. It
has labored under the same troubles
that Camp Floyd has. 1t is much
harder to resurrect an old district than
it is to get up a boom for a new one.
After miners once sweep over dis
trict and as rule drop it, is hard to
get any one to back it, and yet good
many. men have been clinging to Os
ceola all the time, believing in it and
having faith that the day would, by
and by, dawn when their beliefs would
reach fruition. Lately good deal Of
work has been doing in that camp. 1t
is said some good discoveries have been
made. There are lime, slate, porphyry
and quartzite through the district, and
it is said that the placers there have
already produced $2,5OO,OOO, one
fifth of which has been in nuggets. So
far as the different veins have been
developed, they all show gold which
runs from SO ton up to several hun
dred, but the average of the camp, we
believe, is about S25. It is said that
recently along the Red Lime contact
some promising veins have been open
ed and mill is rapidly reaching COM
pletion, which it is believed will de-
monstrate, or at least begin to demon
strate, the value of the district. The
owners of one system of mines have
been doing development work during
the past year, and while they have
not stopped at all, but simply taken out
the ore which they found in the tun-
nels and drifts, they believe that they
have enough ore already out to run
little mill for some months to come.
Men with money and anxious to In
vest in gold properties would do well
to devote a month to investigating Os-
ceola. IS. L. Tribune.

The Diamand Mine Nugget

Superintendent Read sent down
from the diamond Company's mine,
last Monday, nugget of ore weighing
$3.50 pounds, which was shipped on
Wednesday to the Midwinter Fair in
San Francisco, and which is to repre-
sent Eureka county. The nugget is
three feet and ten inches long, eight
cen inches wide and eighteen inches
thick. Itassays 1872 per cent in silver
per ton and "a per cent in lead. The
nugget, when quarried out in the mine
was about double its present size, but
was too large to haul up the shaft and
had to be broken. The company paid
the expense Of transporting it to the
Fair. This nugget will be good ad-
vertisement for our mining district
and we would like to see more mug

A New Metal.

A man who has been chopping wood
for a number of years in Pine Nut
district, has found a new metal which
in the writer's as we'll as his own opin-
ion, will soon make his name heard all
over the world. He tells a plain story
of his discovery.
His stone oven having been burnt
out, he took some clay from large
deposit he knew of near by, and mix
ing it with little water, made a back,
built fire in his stove, and paid no
more attention to it until next morn
ing, when he noticed his stove-back
was all gone, and in the ashes he found
white clear metal with scarcely any
weight to it.
It would not break, so he took it
on an old anvil outside the cabin and
hit it with heavy hammer. Under
the blow it acted like piece of COM
mon iron. 1t would draw out but
neither crack nor break. He has since
experimental with it in various ways;
the clay will melt like lead, but the
metal produced will stand heat like
iron or steel, and is very flexible.
He beat out a piece that is four inches
thick, six inches wide, and eleven
en- inches long, which he intends CIV
ing Mr.. Yerington, to see if he can
find name for it. The block is
transparent and only weighs nine oun-
ces. He says there is no limit to the
clay, as he has seen the same kind in
several parts of this and other States.
He says he will soon be a rich man
as he has made several locations.
He is satisfied the metal will take
the place of wood, iron and steel in
many ways. Its cheapness in produc-

TIL Esthetic Sense In Animals.

Animals possess III an appreciate man
ner certain tastes indicating an elemen-
tarv sense of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
It's existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty of his plumage or
the fexibility of his vocal organs. There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense in a singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has q
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
iects, and he has habit of ornamentlnS
the entrance to his nest, which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
of shells, bits Of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those Of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in q marked manner.
They have their preferences and their
antipathies. of Reviews.

A New Theory of Sleep.

Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr Roscnbaum's recently
proposed theory of slcep-namely, that
the annmic condition of the brain is due
TO an excess Of water in the brain cells
of that body. The supposition, Is stated,
is that sleep is essentially matter OF
nervous action, and the direct cause IS
thought to be fatigue Of the nerve cells
which communicate with the heart and
bring about some change in the circula-
ton. The nerve cells are thus supposed
to be full Of water when sleep comes on,
and this water during sleep passes into
the venous blood as waste, and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh arterial blood. Then when the proc
ess is entirely over the sleeper awakcs.
According to this theory, sleep Is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain, but also because it invigor-
ates them. II is also to be inferred
from Rosenbaum's theory that the nerve
cells and brains Of infants who sleep 50
much must contain more water than IS
to be found in those of adults, and that
the effectiveness of brain cells Is in IN
verse ratio to the water contents.-New
York Tribune.

Has It's Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler OF
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
elected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine cases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. OF course they
may not ''elect" the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations.-Pomona

Prince of Detectives.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in AITas in 1775. He began
life as a baker and early became the ter
ror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was notorious thief, and
after many disgraceful adventures he en-
listed in the army. In 1896 he returned
to Paris with some money, which, how,
ever. he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1908 he became connected with
the Paris police as Il detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, AMI he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed Of reprieyed convicts,
which purged Paris Of the many danger
Gus classes. In 1918 he received a full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when he
settled at St. Mande as paper manu-
facturer Soon after the revolution Of
1880 he became political detective, but
with little success. In 1913 he was again
employed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1871

Early American Sculptors.

1t is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one OF
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until 1890,
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1871. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority Of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence or
what talent entirely unobstrncted can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop
lev, West Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light of day. In the remote
wilds of kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger,
Crawford and Mills followed in 1872,
1913 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win
ming for himself European renown
which made him the equal of some OF
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of father of American
sculpture. "-Lippincott's.
