A Paris correspondent describes ono
OF the oldest industries Of that city to
bo found in a 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 80; when sold secondhand, they
realize the modest sum Of 80 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 fought 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

A HARD TAsKMIsTREss.
The Late Rosina voIses Took Her Art
Rather Too Seriously.


The Late Rosina vokes Took Her Art
Rather Too Seriously.
The late Mrs. Clay, better known az
Rosina Vokes, was a hard taslSmistress.
She took her art both seriously and
rigidly and demanded the same from
others. A young American girl during
ono time connection with the Vokes
company suffered extremely from felon
on her finger. Every movement Of tho
arm gavo her pain, and she was az
length obliged 10 evade her required
participation in "a Game Of Cards, ="
where the players clap hands, the one
against the other. You shirked your
part last night, Miss Blank, - Mrs. Clay
took occasion TO observe the following
morning.
II did, acknowledged Miss Blank,
for my finger is in such a condition,
as you see, that present use Of it is i'm
possible. "
you will not shirk your part to-
night, however, remarked Mrs. Clay,
with an ominous CLEAN In her eye. The
young American knew only too we'll
that further remonstrance would prob
ably result in her dismissal, SO nothing
more was said. That night, according
to orders, she, with infinite pain, clap
ped hands briskly. At the first touch
the blood gushed from her suffering
finger; but, although her partner was
Mrs. Clay, neither reference nor apology
was made by that exacting star either
then or afterward. "StflI It was splen-
did training" " said the young actress in
later years. But to impartial, unprofes-
sional outsiders such training smacks

spenohea From Nntea-

It is usually supposed by the lay
reader that the greatest speeches made
in congress are the result Of long prepa-
ration and are delivered from volurni-
nous notes This is not always correct.
The preparation may be all right, but
In many cases notes do not exist at all.
This may be illustrated from a little
conversation I bad with ex- Congressman
John M. Farquhar. He was booked to
speak at a reunion Of veterans. Half an
hour before he was announced to take
the platform approached and said:
Mr.. Farquhar, I shall be glad to get
an advance copy of your speech"
My dear sir, F" he replied, II never
wrote a speech in my life and never
shall. 1 never spoke from notes but once
in my life That was when was in

AN INTERESTING SLAB.
II Marks the Boundary Between AIexic

II Marks the Boundary Between Mexico
and the United States.
Under the direction of the boundary
survey commission tho old marble mon
ument which since 1849 has marked the
dividing line between the United States
and Mexico at the coast has been
brought to the city to be dressed up.
For years that monument has been
point Of interest and has been visited by
thousands Of citizens aud strangers
Each has apparently felt that no one
would believe he or she had been there
If some portion Of the slab were not car
ried away to be offered in evidence ON
all occasions.
The result has been that the marble
has been ohipped and defaced until its
original form is almost lost. It is be-
cause Of all this that the slab was
brought to the city. To work out the
placements the surface would have TO
be worked down two inches When re-
dressed, the stone viii again be placed
in position, but this time il will be pro-
tected by a fence Of steel piclets The
inclosure will be l2 feet square. The
pickots will be feet high, the tops
sharply pointed and leaning inward,
after the device Of some rattraps, so
that while IL might be possible for AN
active person to climb in IL would re-
quire u first class acrobat to climb out
