The Care of Shoes,

The expensive russet shoes will last
for two or three seasons, but they
cost at least twice as much as the shoes
that look we'll through one season and
then become shabby and suddenly
break down all around. Footwear is
cheaper than it was a year ago, SO far
as the use OF superior qualities of
leather in the general manufacture of
goods is concerned, and yet the prices
are the same. The russet shoe is es-
sentially an article of summer wear
still, expensive makes have been sold
for winter as well. 1t is surprising,
however. what difference there is in
the quality sometimes of two pairs of
cheap shoes manufactured by the same
house. Shoes that sell fer SO and
s3.50 sometimes 60 to pieces in
few weeks, while others last for
months The fact OF the matter is that
all the stitching is done by N achinery,
and such shoes are weak or strong ac-
cording as the girl or man who runs
the machine has been careful or care
less.
When the boot is muddy let it dry
before trying to knock the mud off.
Then lightly rub, being careful not to
rub it into the leather. Take soft
cloth, busting carefully, when it will
clean with very little stain. Take
damp woolen cloth, which will remove
all the stain. Warm water is best to
use. This simple process will keep the
shoes in nice order, while if the shoes
are blackened ench time, the grain
soon becomes SO filled with it it will
stiffen and crack. If you should in q
storm get them very wet, wipe them
dry as possible with soft cloth, fill
them with paper to shape them and
put them in warm place to dry. If
this is carefully carried out your boots
will be stiff, but with an old loose
glove on the hand work some vaseline,
little at a time, all over the shoe.
After standing a few hours the leather
will absorb it, and any good backing
will give it nice polish, being also
pliable and oft.-Chicago Dry Goods

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-08-02

An effort will be made during this
Congress to have the number of Cab
met officers increased to nine. The
proposition being agitated is to create
Cabinet Department of Commerce and
Industry, says the Washington Star.
The first Cabinet, that of Washington,
consisted of five members. The Sec
retary OF State was paid $1,000 year,
and the others $4,000 each. War and
Navy formed one department, and
there wes no Department of the In
terror 'or OF Agriculture. The first
increase in the number of Cabinet
officers wes under President Jefferson,
who had Secretary of the Navy and
Seer etary of War, instead of the two
Offices being in ore. The number re-
mained at six until President Taylor's
term, when Secretary of the Inter
ior was aided. Just before the close
of President Cleveland's first term the
department of Agriculture was estab-
lished and Secretary of Agriculture
was created. Prior to that there had
been Commissioner OF Agriculture.
The salaries of the Cabinet officers
have been increased from time to time,
until row they are $4,000 each per
year. Daring the first three or four
administrations OF the United States
the Cabinets were not composed ex
cluslvely of men who agreed in pol
itics. Washington's administration
was kept In state of turmoil by the
dlsagreements between Hamilton and
Jefferson, until finally the Cabinet
was broken up. Madison, John Adams
and jackson had much trouble with
their Cabinets. Madison had seven
teen men in his Cabinet during two
terms; jackson had nineteen and
Grant had twenty-one. 1t has been
rare thing for Cabinet to remain
without change throughout an entire
administration.
