Shoes for the Dead.

Among Chicago's industries is q fac
tory where the manufacture Of shoes for
corpses is carried on exclusively.
Out of five neat black boxes q repre-
sentative of the firm yesterday took rs
many different sizes. These were adults
and children's shoes. The material cor
responds with the purpose Of their use,
The shoes are certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut out Of pasteboard and
are covered with grained paper. The
uppers are a combination of quilted
satin and crochet work. A ribbon, in
serted at the top and tied in neat bow
knot, holds the shoe to the foot.
mems shoes are always black" It
was said. Occasionally we turn ont a
lot of brown ones. We have had special
orders for mems white shoes, but only
in few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always white. They
are not expensive; five to fifteen dollars
will purchase a dozen pairs.
The burial shoe is a patented article.
1t was designed by Joliet Oils woman
milliner, who now enjoys the profits of
her idea. The Chicago company has
been in existence for nearly decade,
and is catering to an ever increasing de-
mand. The firm employs a travelling
man, who covers all the territory be-
tween Maine and California. 1t takes
ten girls and several machines 10 keep
up with his orders. The average month
ly output is $1,000 pairs during the dull
season. 1t is increased to ,000 during
a busy period. Chicago Tribune.

TIC Remarkable Survival of Three En-
tollhed niinors in Bohemia.


The Remarkable Survival of Three En-.
tcnlbed Minors in Bohemia.
The teaching OF experience as illus
trated by several instances of prolonged
abstinence, though it may afford some
idea of human endurance in this partic-
ular under special conditions, has yet
provided no certain criterion of the vi
I'll resistance possessed by the average
man when suddenly deprived of every
form of sustenance. The measure of
this force may nevertheless be gagged
Nith approximate correctness from the
history of recurrent instances Of pro-
longed and accidental privation. As an
example, the following is remarkable
even in this category:
It is the narrative of three Bohemian
MIXERS, who, after being entombed by
I'll Of sand in the pit where they were
Working, were finally rescued alive,
Rough Of course in an utterly PROSTATE
condition, seventeen days later. During
tie period of their live burial air was
pumped down to them by bore holes.
On this they may be said to have lived,
without food and without water. The
total want of the latter is what makes
their survival SO remarkable. But for
this essential the longer fasts of profess
s:onal fasting men would have been
quite impossible.
We can have no difficulty in under
standing generally why this holds true
If we bear in mind the fact that not
only does water constitute by far the
greater constituent of every tissue, but
hat without its due proportion the cir
culation and nutrition of the blood and
that needfnl if costly chemical change
upon which all tissue repair depends
would he alike impossible.
IN cnGeaYoring to trace the rationale
&C life persisting, as in the case of the
lulied miners, in spite of the absence of
every natural condition, we must notice
one. or two significant points. In the
FIST place, their condition was that Of
resi-, their functional metabolism being
propor5ionally less active, their waste of
Tissue diminished and their output Of
Yarbonic acid not 50 likely to overcharge
tie surrounding atmosphere. Further,
We may take it for granted that a robust
IA ,ique had no small share in the con-
scryation Of vital energy.
Much depends in such cases on the
amount Of nitrogenous matter stored up,
tar jhc most part in the muscular tissue,
and available for destructive changes.
We Lay safely assume that the amount

It is a we'll known fact that milk is
especially apt to sour during the preya-
lence of thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over The tactical fluid. An Italian ex-
perimenter. one Professor G.. To,onei,
has been making trials Of various sorts.
the object being to throw some light on
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed al cleo
tric discharge from a lIolts machine be-
tween two balls of platinui2 hanging
two inches apart III q bottle containing
a quart of fresh milk; secondly, ly sand
ing a current between two strips 81
platinum at the bottom of V tubs
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in test tube to the ac-
ton of strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spi.
rally around the tube.
In each one Of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover Of
science could wish, it was proved that
acidulation of the milk was delayed in
stead of fastened, as had been expected.
Three equal portions OF milk from the
same milking thus treated began tc
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of it which had not been treated
with electricity was ranSly acid en- the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory Of lightning
being the direct cause of the difca-
ton of milk, Professor To-on tried
ozone and found therein le mystic
agent of milk souring. l. ais second
trial of ozone be brought the surface Of
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid a.
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last q mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike hGs
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, in tho
metallic state, in solution and by sym
pathy, for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 1900 years. The
train Of thought which led the ancients
TO employ this highly priced material
can be well told in the quaint language
Of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaave; writing
about 1875, he says: 1.-The alchemists
will have this metal contain l know not
what radical balm Of life capable of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
"What led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must bA
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, is not capable of being de-
stroyed; hence they concluded it must
be very proper to preserve animal sub
stances and save them from putrefac-
ton, which is u method of reasoning
very much like that of some fanciful
physicians who sought for an assuaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear by
reason the ass is a very calm bea3t!"-

ular Science Monthly.

CROP BULLETIN FOR WEEK ENDING

CROP BULLETIN FOR WEEK ENDING
JUNE 1l.-The weather has been
generally fair and warmer during
nearly the entire week, although
showers occurred during the early
portion. With the increasing warm h
and generous amount of sunshine
conditions have begun to improve
and crops have made rapid progress
during the past three days especially.
In the fore part of the week condi-
tions were unfavorable, the weather
being cool and wet. A light fro t
on both 9th and It'll, no damage.
Fallow land being broken. Farmers
making great effort to catch up
with their work. In some counties
the outlook for wheat is not as fiat
tering as it was few weeks ago; it
is lot filling properly, red rust is re-
ported, also blight. Some improve
rnent noted during past few days.
In most localities wheat is looking
fairly well and will make q good
crop if nothing further prevents;
some shows signs of ripening. Grass
has been benefited by the recent wet
weather. Meadows are reported
light, "cheat" making its appearance.
Pastures looking well. Late sown
oats continue in good condition, carly
sown are in poor shape. Cool
weather hurt clover. Corn is in
very unsatisfactory C, ndit;on; much
has turned yellow and looks sickly,
some has been replantcd the second
time. The weather has been very
favorable the past few days and it is
expected - will show material in 1
proven =. ...e rep2;ts show that it
is regaining its natural color but is
short for this time of year, much be-
ing cultivated. Barley harvest has
begun-prospeetgood. Considerable
buckwheat being sown. Gardens
backward but in fair condition and
improving; some replanting being
done. Potatoes fine and in bloom.
Melons and cucumbers Will be scarce.
No change IN fuits for the better.
Apples almost a total failure, most
of them have dropped off the trees;
in Preston county the outlook is
more favorable. Strawberries still
abundant, season about over. Cher
ries dropping, some early varieties
in market. Blackberries fair pros
pect. Fruit that is still on trees ap-
pears to be doing well. Apple limbs
being injured by insects. Bugs on
grapes.
