SeWer.SOaked Leather.

A Paris correspondent describes one
of the oldest industries of that city to
be found in little shop in the Rue
des Ecoles, which deals exclusively
with the secondhand boots Of the men
who work in the sewers. These boots
are furnished by the state and come
half way up the thigh, and each man
is allowed a new pair every six
months. When new they cost SO;
when sold secondhand they realize
the modest sum of so cents; but as at
least 5000 pairs per annum are sent
to the Rue des Ecoles, it makes quite
booming industry. The leather of
these boots is, SO to speak, tanned by
the alkaline and greasy water in
which the sewer-cleaners paddle, and
they are eagerly sought for by the
great Partisan bootmakers; for this
leather, being at once tough and light,
serves to sustain the curve of the
Louis XIV. heel.
