NAMES moooAsIN INDUSTRY.
How the Footgear Worn by Lumbsrmen
and Farmers Is Made.

and Farmers Is Made.
Everybody who has been in Maine
during the winter among the lumber
men aud Observation-Disclosures knows the
blown-up looking, muddy yellow boots
and shoes these useful and picturesque
citizens wear. They call ZEN moe
casins. The first pair was made
by a shoemaker in Bangor, and
their fame long ago spread TO the
West. The shoe factories OF Bangor
now turn out annually something like
100, 0OO pairs of moccasin boots and one
quarter as many shoes, and there are
factories out in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin that make almost as many.
A person on first seeing this yellow
and baggY footwear would suppose that
il was made from some strange leather,
but it isn't. The material is just COM
mon leather tanned In a way that is
known only to a few. All we know is
that salt, alum and some kind Of an
out-of-the-way oil are the principal
agencies that give the leather It's pc
culiar color and flexibilitY. This
leather had been made years and years
before anyone thought Of using 1t for
boots or for shoes. The only use for
which it was put up TO 1851 was to
make lacings for mill belts. 1t was
made only at PawtIcket One day a
man named Bald win, who was a snoe-
maker in Bangor. made up his min
that the leather was just the thing Tor
winter moccasins, and he made a few
pairs. They were tried by lumbermen
aud Baldwin proved TO be right. Moth
ing had ever been offered TO the Maine
lumbermen that filed the bill like Bald
wins yellow moccasins, and in less
than a year a big factory for turning
out these queer boots and shoes was
started in Bangor. Other factories
sprang up IN Maine, and the tanning OF
the belt lace leather made those who
knew the secret OF it rich in a short
ii me and compelled the increasing OF
tanning capacity tenfold.
Until 1871 the boots and shoes were
made just as Bald win made his first
pair twenty years before. Then ma
chimes for cutting and f%ashioning the
moccasins came into use and revolu-
tionized the business. In 1855 the fame
OF the Maine moccasin having reached
the tar western lumber regions, a Ban
Ror firm received An order for a pair
from some one ia Dubuque. The order
was flied. and this led TO other or
ders, until, when the war broke
out, the Eastern factories were
shlpping thousands OF pairs
OF Maine moccasins to the West. The
war almost killed the business. It be-
gan to revive soon after the war, and
then rival factories sprung up in the
West, and now the great demands for
this Maine ~footgear from the lumber re-
glons Of the Northwest are almost en-
tirely filled by factories at ST. Paul,
| Racine, Minneapolis and other points.
The value OF the moccasin lies almost
entirely 10 the peculiar way ia whish
the leather is tanned. The tanning
renders the leather absolutely water
proof and a perfect n~On-conductor OF
heat and cold.

An in cident Of . rather peculiar and

FOOTBALL IN MALAY.
A Game That Might Give Our Own
Players a Few Pointers.

Players a Few Pointers.
Among the Malays football has been
in existence from time immemorial,
but it is with them essentially a game,
as, for instance, battledoor and shuttle
cock is with us, and it is not contest.
The football is rather smaller than that
used at Eton and is made of wicker
work Those who join in the game ar
range themselves in wide circle and
kick the ball from one to another with
the inside, or, at times, with the fat Of
the foot. The object of the players is
to keep the ball passing about without
Its ever touching the ground or the
shown in this performance, and the ball
lis usually kicked to a very respectable
height. There seems to be no penalty
exacted from a player who may kick
the ball badly or fail to kick it at all.
We had our own game of football,
| and the Dutchman, assisted by two
members of our team, scored two goals
to our four. During the game the ma
! tives collected in still greater numbers
and at it's termination they begged us
| to allow them to have a game among
themselves. To this we assented, and
two of US acted as captains of the sides,
numbering about thirty players apiece,
most Of whom stripped to the 'sarong,"
and wrapped it around their loins, leav-
ing the rest of their bodies bare.
The ball was started, and then fol-
lowed one of the most extraordinary
games of football that has ever been
seen. The game soon ceased to be a
game at all and became a Veritable bat
| tie.
AS when a sort of lusty shepherds try
Their force at football, care of victory
Makes them salute so rudely, breast to
breast,
That their encounter seems too rough
| for Jest.
Hands, arms, and even teeth were
used on all sides, blood flowed freely,
and scattered about the field were soon
to be seen the wounded, I might almost
say, the slain. AS some fell exhausted
| to the ground they were removed, and
their places in the fray were taken by
others, who rushed forth eagerly from
the crowd of spectators.
| Shouts of victory and groans of de-
| feat rent the air, and at length things
became so serious that the two captains
were obliged to seize upon the ball and
bolt with it to the pavilion. The game
thus came to an end, and the players
withdrew to their homes, with the ex-
| cited crowd following ct their heels.
| This must have been regarded as a red
letter day by the native community of
Medan, and the visit Of the Orange
Puteh" (Englishmen) will be remem-
bered among them for some time to
come. We received a hint next morn
ling from the authorities that the ma
| tives must not be allowed to take part
lin our games.-Fortnightly Review.

Jerry NJ. Pate, D. A. Pike, E. L.
Coleman and another participant in the
riot, who is not yet in custody. were
indicted for murder in the first degree,
and Q. NJ Bingham and C. C. OFT,
were indicted for assault with intent
to kill. The jury censured the police
department and adds:
"a single policeman clothed in uni
form, then on the spot, could have
saved human life and prevented blood
shed which followed, but none was
there and so armed men, filled with
religious hatred of each other, fought
out a battle and then escaped before
the solitary policeman stationed only
about a block away at that precinct
appeared on the scene"
