This nineteenth century of ours Will
go into history as the most noted OF all =
the centuries that have gone before. ,
I would rather have lived in these CLOS :
ing wears of the cycle than to have i
lived through any other period OF the
worlds history. During these last one
hundred wears vast strides have been
taken by all branches of science, the
arts and trades, medicine and surgery.
Solomon's observation that 'there is
nothing new under the sun" is not ap-
n]icable to our time. We have also
demonstrated that almost all things are
possible in this age. We no longer
doubt the most extravagant claims OF
inventors and professors, that almost
dailv are flashed around the world. "A
paper lying before me contains an &C.
count of an invention by means OF
which disease germs may be magnltled
$4,000 times and then photographed,
and all in an instant of time; also an
, account of a successful operation upon
a Young lady by which beautiful new
3 face was given her in place OF one dis
: figured by an accident. Life itself has
| heen heightened. Disease has failed to
: hold it's own and bids fair to succumb
;. entirely to the skill of man. And

A use has been found for old shoes, a derelict product that has heretofore de- fled the efforts of that class of claimants who view with despair the absolute loss of anything, says the New York Jour- nal. The leather is cut into little disks of various shapes. These are set on edge and held together with long wire staples, and the result is an odd looking but flexible and serviceable door mat, which seems to do the work excellent ly of the wire and steel mats that are in such general use in outer halls.
