Perhaps the most striking thing
among the late offerings in sole shapes
is the last that turns almost skyward
ut the toe. The curve begins at the
ball, and the toe very much resembles
the peaked, turned-up front of some
centuries ago that had to be chained
to the knee, only that it is not nearly
so long, says writer in Boots and
Shoes Weekly.
1t was not SO very long ago that the
turned-up toe was In vogue with us,
made with stiff, unyielding, heavy
sole-leather bottom. The advocates
of this shape contended then that this
was the proper form for the sole OF the
shoe, because the foot assumed this
position in progression. But there
was no provision made in it for the
foot at rest.
If this new style of turned-up toes
is adopted, however, the modern
flexible sole will in some degree
mitigate the evils of such q shape by
permitting the toes of the foot to
press downward partially at least.
This seems to be one of those novelties
in footgear that is more calculated
for novelty than comfort.

The lubricating oil field OF French
Creek, in Venango County, Pennsylva-
mia, is one of the most curious spots In
all oildom. The business had its start
In the we'll of Blacksmith Evans, at
Franklin, in the 'C0's, and since then
S12, 900, 90 worth of oil has been taken
from the few miles square of territory
where this oil alone Is found. Around
its prescribed limits wells that yield
largely OF the regular Illuminating oil
have been drilled, but none of that
kind OF oil has ever been found within
the lubricating oil limits. This small
but rich oil district extends into the

City, and eighty different commercial
products result, be ides the oil itself.
Franklin en- ;oys a monopoly of the
heavy oil trade, but the business Is
conducted on much more economical
basis than when Blacksmith Evans
was getting his 100 barrels day from
his pioneer well and rec living So a
barrel for it. There is little or no gas
In the lubricating oil rock, and every
we'll has to be pumped. AS many as
fifty wells are pumped by one engine.
This is accomplished by an ingenious
device called the pumping rig. The
wells to be pumped are connected with
sucker rods screwed together, reach
ing out in all directions, frequently
more than a mile from the engine. In
the woods around Franklin these suck
er rods may be encountered, working
slowly back and forth with the regu.
lar motion of a piston, and no engine
within sight or hearing. The same
thing may be seen in the streets of
FRANKLIN where the long arms roach

Over.Sensitiye PeOpIe.

There is class of people with
whom it is painful to come in contact.
Very nice, they may be, and good in
oil respects, but the fact that they are
gifted with an undue amount of sensi.
tiveness makes life often a burden to
themselves and to others. In many
cases this intense sensitrveness has its
origin in childhood when children are
made much of, until they grow to be
wonderfully conscious of themselves.
II parents, when they see the dawning
of this trait, which grows to be such
a painful one awhile, would do all
they could to check and discourage it /;
If those who have temperament
which inclines them to sensitiveness
would call to their aid all the common
sense they possess and reason out tn,
causes for offense which meet them SC
much oftener than they meet others,
and consider how much of it has its
origin In imagination, both they and
the world would be gamers. The busy
world has no time to stop to listen to
small complaints, and complainers are
apt to be left in the background, and
sometimes to be SO pushed aside as to
really have some grounds for discon.
tent. The wisest plan is to try as faI
as possible to forget self. The sights
which are usually SO trying may be ig.
nored, for it is not matter of SO
much Importance how one is treated as
it is the effect it has upon the char.
acter. That effect is lasting, the other
is but traL sient. .-Christian Herald.

about twelve years ago that DR.. Park

the Madison Square Presbyterian

For years he preached there his schol-

made his parochial visits to his rich
parishioners, lived his life of grace
full ease and luxury, and employed
himself in study, pleasant work and
recreation. Suddenly he discovered
certain facts as to the immoral condi-
tion Of New York life which he had
not dreamed of before. He was
amazed and horrifled, and his horror
and wonder grew on him. One Sum
day he preached sermon such as he
had never preached before That
day was the turning point In DR..
Parkhurst's life and in New York's
moral history. Driven by sense of
duty, DR.. Parkhurst now left that

A lily on the highland lay,
Beneath the fierce and scorching ray
OF midday summer sun.

Upon the lily cast his eyei
His sympathy it won.
"Poor little flower" he plying said,
"Who left thee thus with dropping head
Beneath a burning sky;
Alb. me 1t was a thoughtless deed
To cast thee forth, like common weed,
To wlther and to die.
"Away from cool and grateful shade
OF garden bed or messy glade,
Where, erstwhile, thou didst bloom,
My heart with pity bleeds for thee.
Thus treated so despltefully,
And left to such doom.
"The lily Is the spotless flower,
The emblem of the priceless dover,
Ofpurity of heart.

Was not arrayed like thee, sweet flower,

Amid the dust to pant and bleed.
cannot leave thee so.
Close by thee lies a lovely mere,
Whose sparkling waters bright and clear,
Der water lilies flow.
upon its cool, refreshing breast,
I'll lay thee gently down to rest,
And Danish all thy pain.
The water sprites will change thy shape,
And. as Lilly OF the Lake
Thou yet shalt bloom again"

An interesting New England custom
is that mentioned by Harper's Weekly
which provides that stockholders of
the Boston and Albany road shall ride
free to Boston from any point on that
road to attend the annual stockhold-
ers' meeting in September. They
show their stock certificates instead of
tickets, and they have all the week to
get home in. So it happens that in
stockholders week people from west
ern Massachusetts, flock to Boston to
do their shopping, and crowd the ho-
tells. A similar concession by other
railroads in other States would tend to
popularize small holdings of railroad
stock.

The black ladybi ird of Australia,
which was introduced into California
two years ago to exterminate the black
scale and like orchard parasites, has
not belied its reputation, announces
the New York Post. To these pests
it has proved SO relentless an enemy
that in some parts of the State, nota-
bly, Santa Barbara County, scarcely
any insect life remains for the susie
nance of the ladybird. Trees which,
two years ago, were covered with the
secretions of the scale, which, in fact,
seemed irremediably ruined, are now
clean, bright and vigorous. "It is
difficult" says an expert, "to place q
pecuniary estimate on the value of the
enemy of the black scale. In one re-
spect, however, the saving in spraying
and fumigating will probably repre-
sent $780, 900 a year to the horti-
culturists of California. One fruit
grower alone has of late years been
compelled to expend from $4,000 to
$4,000 per annum for this purpose,
while there are four or five growers in
Los Angeles County alone who each
pay out On average of $4,000 annu-
ally in battling against the black
scale. All this will be saved, for the
little beetle costs nothing. Then, in
addition to the economy, the trees
will be more healthful and consequent
ly will bear more plentifully and a
better quality of fruit. The officers
of the Board of Horticulture are satis-
fed that the black scale is doomed, as
was the cotton cushion, and are now
turning their attention to the discov-
cry Of parasite that will war ON the
red scale, which is causing SO much
annoyance and loss to the orange
growers of the South.

Drugging Fish.

There are various drugs that have
been employed for stupefying or
making fish SO drunk that they could
be caught by hand or with small din
nets; but fortunately for the fish.
laws have been passed in nearly if not
all of the States prohibiting the use
of such means for taking fish. In
many old books of recipes the coccu-
lus berry is recommended as the best
material for this purpose, but we do
not think the Fish Commissioners
would care to have us tell you how to
prepare the noxious compound. New
