About Eootwear.

American workingmen are more
lightly shod on the average than
those of Europe, and nothing excites
more scorn and astonishment In this
country than the heavy boots and
shoes brought over by immigrants.
Shoes thickly studded with hob-nails
last perhaps three times as long as
the lighter footgear, but the Ameri-
can workingman would feel himself
clogged ard bampered by such foot
weights

The. battle OF Waterloo was one Of
the most momentous conflicts In the
annals of history. In other battles
larger bodies OF men had been en-
gagged and greater numbers had per-
ished; but on this Belgian field Of
blood the fate not alone of Napoleon
but of France and Europe was set
tied; the greatest military genius
that the world ever saw-greater
than Alexander. Hamilton or Caesar
was stricken to the dust and the
most disastrous war known to mod

Just at the critical moment when
Napoleon was giving orders for a
simultaneous attack the united forces
of Butcher and Bulow, 10000 strong,
came pouring on the field. Napoleon's
wasted bands were now In the ex-

hours every physical energy had been
taxed to its utmost endurance by
such a conflict as the world had sell

Slight Security.

The practical value Of a great
mans friendship is illustrated by the
following anecdote: A gentleman
who had long been attached to Car
dinal Mazarin, and much esteemed
by that minister, but little assisted
in his finances by court favor, one
day told Mazarn of his many prom.
ises and his dilatory. performance.
The cardinal, who had great regard
for the man and was unwilling to
lose his friendship, patiently ex-
planned to him the many demands
made upon person in his situation
as minister, and which it would be
polite to satisfy previous to other re-
quests, as they were founded on
services done to the state. "My
Lord" replied his companion, "all
the favor / expect at your hands is
this, that whenever we meet In pub
lie you will do me the honor to zap
me on the shoulder in an unreserved
manner" In two or three years the
friend of the card nal became a
wealthy man on the credit of the
ministers attentions to him; and
Mazarin used to laugh, together with
his confidant, at the folly of the
world In granting their protection to
persons on such slight security.

attempts to gather them into towns
and teach them the arts OF civiliza-
tion, but the free blood Of the plains
flows too strongly in their veins and
they have successfully resisted all at
tempts to wean them from their wild
nomadic life. The Kirghis are Of
the -Tartaric race, and the men
are rather disagreeable in appea r
ance. The women, however, are
rather pretty and are delicately
formed.
The Kirghis live in tents circular
in form. The tents are made by COW
ering a dome shaped framework Of
poles with large overlapping sheets OF
heavy gray felt. The slightly curved
rafters which form the roof radiate
like the spokes of wheel from a
large wooden ring in the center Of the
dome, and are generally supported by
a skeleton wall OF wooden lattice
work. In which is the door. The
opening in the roof of the tent adj
mits the air and allows the smoke to
escade. The furniture Is scanty, the
people generally squatting on the
ground. The table from which they
eat is rarely more than half foot
high.

"A Florida Judge has enunciated the

Many people think we must eat fat and oils to
become fieshy. This is a serious mistake. We
should eat starch foods. If we cannot digest
well-cooked starch foods use Pre- digested Starch
Food-PASKoLA, Paslsola will not only be alb
sorbed at once by the most delicate stomach. but
it will create an appetite for other food. An in

Episcopal Methodism in this country g.
$4,000 members, and adding the other
branches of Methodism in tine United
States the number is considerably over

THE BELGIAN ELECTIONS,
Clericals Win Under the Compulsory
Graded Voting system.


BRUSSELS, oct. l5.-Elections for the
members Of the chamber of deputies were
held throughout Belgium yesterday The
voting was under the new compulsory
system, which provides severe penalties for
non-voters. The electors were divided into
three Glasses, as follows: One year resi-
dents over 25 years of age, who were en-
titled to one vote; married men and wild
overs with families, who pay personal
tax of five francs TO the state, who had two
votes, and priests and others of position
and education, who ha q hree votes. The
Clerical party under this system had great
voting strength.
The elections were orderly, except at
Alost, in East Flanders, where collisions
occurred between the supporters of Abbe
Daens, Christian Socialist, and NJ Woeste,
the Clerical leader, who few days ago
was stoned by a mob while proceeding to
a political meeting at Grammont, in East
Flanders, and forced to flee for his life
The Catholic candidates have been re
elected in all the Flemish towns with large
majorities. AS far as ascertained at this
hour, it appears that the first trial of the
new constitution has resulted in a severe
check for the moderate liberals to the
| benefit Of the Clericals and Socialists.
The Clericals will remain the government

minority of Liberals and Socialists.
