A Word About the Russell Shoes.

A fashion writer in a morning con-
temporary asks:
What is the attraction which brown
leather boots seem o possess for both
men and women, young and old? This
year they have made their appearance
not only considerably earlier than usual,
but also in larger numbers than ever be-
FORE Some declare that they are more
comfortable, but experience hardly bears
out that impression. A brown boot can
never be so pliable and so easy as one of
black leather, moreover, the brown boot
is distinctly less becoming than the
black"
The writer of this must have had .
singular experience with brown leather.
The russell shoes are worn by most peo-
pie because they are softer and more
pliable, and above all because the pores
of the leather are not tightly closed as
they are in patent leather, and in all
black leather that is subjected to polish
backing. The difference in comfort in
hot weather between a ventilating russell
shoe and impervious patent leather is
quickly obvious when a change is made
from one to the other. The summer dress
of Americans has tended to comfort in
all respects during the last few years.
and no two innovations have added more
to mitigation of hot weather discom-
fort than the brown shoe and the I'M
starched fine cotton shirts for gentlemen.

Fifty annual suns had bleached her
raven tresses. placed crows feet on her
chamoislike skin and otherwise blem-
ished her youthful loneliness, but the
vigor of romance still lurked in her
bosom. She inserted an lad" in one of
the Toledo dailies for a correspondent
matrimonially inclined. The lad" was
answered by gallant also sliding down
the slope of his fiftieth anniversary. Pho
tographs taken in their PALMER days
were exchanged, and last week the fair
one came from her wind swept retreat
in Iowa to meet her ideal, to join heart
and hand with him and float happily on
wings of love together to the end of their
natural lives. Both had so changed in
the many years since the pictures were
taken that they failed to recognize each
other in the train. Introductions fol-
lowed.
They viewed each other for a moment,
when she broke out with: You base de-
ceiver! You horrid old brute! You have
deceived me, and | shall never marry
you. You are twice as old as you repre-
sented and as homely as cartoon" The
radiance vanished from the eager lovers

den and Bilious.
A member of the English parliament,
Florence O'Driscoll, has lively paper
in The Century describing life and street
scenes in Canton. Mr.. O'Driscoll says:
The food purveyors made most
striking display; the fruiterers exposed
on fiat trays bananas, pineapples, mel
ons, figs, pears (the latter beautiful to
the sight, but hard and tasteless), to-
gether with many Chinese fruits, whose
shapes and tastes were familiar to me,
but whose names l knew not. Some of
these fruits were most artistically peel
ed, pineapple peeling being quite an art.
A great variety of vegetables was offer
ed for sale. Among them were the white
shoots of the bamboo, which seemed to
be favorite article of diet. But to what
use indeed may not this wonderful grass
be put? From it Cinnamon make almost
everything conceivable-hats, cloaks,
sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings, baskets,
chairs, carrying poles, fishing tools; the
list might be prolonged ad lnfinltum
And then they eat it as we'll.
a noticeable trade The roots were
washed and left in water, as an English
cook treats potatoes before boiling them
A number of men and women holding
a two pronged fork in each hand sat
around table with the tubs of peeled
ginger beside them. They picked ginger
roots out of the water, and laying them
on the table pierced them all over very
rapidly with both forks until quite soft
The pierced roots were then put into
another tub, where they were boiled in
sirup. The ginger went through various
other minor processes until eventually
it was packed in the earthenware jars
in which it is sold in European shops.
The whole process was certainly clean
one, and the smell of the aromatic root
in preparation was both grateful and
pleasant.
In the bakers shops l saw nothing
corresponding to our European loaf.
Solid looking little yellow patties, slabs
of fabby brown cakes, emblematic Of
concentrated dyspepsia; scenes or an
equivalent, apparently of fried batter,
and great fakes of milk white, slippery
looking paste not above an eighth of an
inch thick-to be rolled up and deftly
sliced with cleaver shaped tool into
long strings like macaroni. These foods
were to be seen everywhere in the city,
but nothing light and open. To my eyes
the breadstuffs seemed sad, solemn, sod
den and bilious.

guises. His skill as detective seemed to
be of very high order, and the merchant
was so favorably impressed by him that
he hired him at S. a day. He supposed
that the letter signed with Superintendent
Byrnes' name was genuine.
ST. John went right to work, and in
half an hour he was walking about the
store, with red Galway whskers, disguis-
ed as an Irish immigrant just from Ellis
island. Twenty minutes later he appeared
as farmer, with a carpet sack, from
Chautauqua county. Half an hour after
ward he was strolling about the store dis
guised as an Avenue A beer saloon keeper.
The clerks began to laugh at his numer-
Gus and comcal disguises and at the great
air of mystery he wore. By O'Clock in
the afternoon he had appeared in about
dozen different disguises.
The merchant showed the letter to the
superintendent of the store, who suspected
at once that it was fraudulent and decided
to communicate with police headquarters.
Detective TrainOr went from the CEN
trail office to the dry goods store in Har-
lem and found st. John hard at work dis
guised as Persian traveller. He ques
toned the imitator of Old Sleuth, and st.
John told him that he was a celebrated
detective, and that tho secret of his great
success was the great variety of DISCUSSES
which he wore. He said he was known
to crooks as Billy Burke, the burglars
bane." The real detective arrested the
follower of Old Sleuth and took. him to
the Harlem police court.
The prisoners father, a respectable citi-
zen, said that his son had been reading
detective stories for many years and imag
ined that detective work was his chosen
calling. Being out of a job, he had eager
ly sought an opportunity of making S. a
day. Young st. John was held for trial

Raptized After Death.

A queer story comes from Eagle Cleft,
small settlement on Lookout noun
tain. Several weeks ago J. w. Masser
was very i'll with fever. He wanted to
be baptized, and as this could not DO
done during his illness he requested
that as soon as he died his body be i'm
mersed He said he neglected it during
his lifetime and wanted his dead body
baptized. A few days ago he died, and
on the day Of the funeral, at Hixon's

mersed the corpse in the presence of
large crowd of people. The body was
then put back into the coffin and laid in

The cigarette manufacturers have hit

it fourishes only in New York. but there
is some danger of it spreading. They
hire pretty girls to parade the parks and
the principal avenues and display ciga-
rette signs. 1t has reached such proper
tons that the police have been called
upon to drive them out of Central park,
and no more young women representing
any brand of cigarettes will be allowed
to promenade, ride or sit there. 1t seems
to be pretty good scheme to suppress
before it spreads beyond it's present con-
fnes.-Boston Herald.
