THE BREATHING SHOE.
Interesting Invention by Salt Lake
City Shoemaker.

Some people have said that no good
thing could come out of Salt Lake
City, but Matthew Hilgert, a Mormon
shoemaker of a StudiouS mind, claims
to have disproved this by inventing
what he calls the breathing shoe. "
The purpose of this shoe is primarily
to provide a means of ventilation for
the feet, the necessity for such ventila-
tion, according to the inventors state
ment, being alarTningly great. Mr..
Hilgert claims that the dread disease of
consumption can be directly traced to
the wearing of shoes that lack porous
ness, and which not only only cramp
the feet and prevent a healthy circula-
ton of the blood, but cause the pedal
extremities to become overheated and
the skin abnormally surcharged with
moisture. Shoemaker Hilge11t asserts
that the wearer of an unventilated shoe
catches cold on the slightest provoca-
tion, the cold leads to consumption,
and consumption to death. On the
tombstoneS of a great percentage OF
the people who have died of consump-
ton. there should be written, according
to Shoemaker Hilgert:
Had he allowed his feet to breathe,
The departed would still be breathing
The invention to enable the feet to
breathe consists of a shoe having an
irsole, with three air channels that lead
from a common center in the heel.
These air channels contain holes
through which air can be pumped into
the interior of the shoe. The motive
power is the muscular movement of the
ir dividual who wears the shoe.
Every time the foot comes down on
the heel of the shoe, the weight presses
a spring, which acts in the same way
as a pair of bellows. At each step the
air is forced through the channels and
around the shoe by the motion of the
foot. AS the movement is shifted from
the heel to the toe in walking the air
escapes by way of the heel, and when
the weight comes down on the heel
again fresh supply is pumped into the
shoe.
Mr.. Hilgert's invention is regarded by
leading shoemakers as important, in
asmuch as there has long been an un-
supplied demand for shoe that would
relieve sufferers from that distressing
affliction-perspiring extremities-an af-
Fiction that is said to be equally dis
tressing as the kindred complaint of
cold feet.
Whatever may be the practical val
ue of Mr.. Hilgerts invention, there is
TO doubt that much truth lies in his
theories on the subject of shoes and
feet. There is positively no part of
the body of the ordinary civilized man
or woman which is so maltreated as the
feet are They are clothed with an ut
ter disregard of all hygienic laws. More
over, the shoes that are worn to-day
are probably more injurious than any
that have been known in any previous
period of the worlds history. To this
we have come, i'm spite of our boasted
practicality and our disregard of
beauty in the pursuit of the useful. An
cient Saxons bound their feet whole
somely in linen, with thongs to keep it
in place Medieval men wore untanned
doeskin. The result of the modern state
of affairs is too horribly apparent.-New
York Journal.

Throughout the entire session there
had been no speech making. Every
thing had been cut and dried, and there
was no need for words Democrats as
we'll as Republicans understood this,
and so beyond casting their votes for
Langford and Brandon, the former had
sat quietly by and watched the game
Jeter had performed his part well. and
both sides seemed to be satisfied with
him.
One thing remained for the Lieuten-
ant-Governor to do. Three pages and
an equal number of porters were re-
quired during the first week, and he ap-
pointed them, as follows: Pages-C
Andrews, George Berger and Frank
Boek. Porters-H. B. Brown, A. Grubbs
and A. Walton.
Aram of Yolo offered a resolution
which was adopted, providing that the
Secretary of the Senate be instructed
to notify the Assembly that the Senate
was organized and prepared to trans
act business
resolution, also by Aram, providing
that committee of three be appointed
by the President to wait upon the Gov
ernor and inform him that the Senate
having organized, was ready to receive
any communication he desired to make
was also adopted.
AS such committee the President ap-
pointed Senators Aram, La Rue and
Morehouse. After being absent some
time the committee reported that the
Governor was not in his office, and al
Ito p. m. the Senate, on motion of Ma
honey. adjourned to meet at 10 O'Clock
this morning.

Does Not Like Women.

Often mentioned is Cecil Rhodes dis
like to women, and the fact that he will
not allow a female to serve him in any
way. He had a Secretary to whom he
was much attached. One day he an
nounced the fact that he was going to
be married. The chief was thunder
struck, and after glaring at him for a
second growled out: Where the devil
am l to get another Secretary?" and
then walked out of the room and
banged the door. His innate goodness
of heart, however, prevailed after a
bit, for he presented the bride with
some lovely diamonds; and when. soon
after, he left for England, he lent the
young couple his carriages and horses.
so that the offending bride was en-
abled to return her wedding calls at
his expense. 1t never occurred to him,
however, to keep his favorite Secre-
tary on. The mere fact of his mar
rying put that quite out of the pale
of possibility.

THE ASSEMBLY CONvENES.
At the constitutional hour of y,
high noon, Chief Clerk Duckworth' S
gavel, with a mighty sound, called the
Assembly to order and only two mem
bers were absent. Then began the
rush. 1t was evident that the House
was in dead earnest for organization
before the day should end, and when
ever il looked as if something might
block the wheels, a gentle pressure
from one quarter or another sent them
whizzing again and the roll calls fol-
lowed each other i'm rapid succession.
A GENTLE BREEZE.
Shanahan of Shasta made things a
little breezy at the outset. The usual
resolution that each member take his
seat and oath of office ON the roll call
as prepared by the Secretary of State
was offered by North of Alameda. But
Shanahan got ON his feet almost at the
same moment, and when North re-
ceived recognition from the presiding
officer the Tall Sycamore of Shasta
was badly agitated Before the reso-
luton could be put to vote he was
noisily announcing that he had intend
ed to offer it himself, and claiming that
he had been defrauded of his rights
because of non-recognition. He was
not easily Modified, but a judicious
moving of the previous question go1

right, Shanahan himself voting for it
OPENING SPEECHES.
A feature of the day was the speech
of North, Jr.-North of Yolo-the
youngest member of the House, q
young man of only % years, who has
been Assistant Clerk the last session
To him was assigned the honor OF
nominating Hon. Frank Coombs fol
the Speakership, and he acquitted him
self well. He received many congrat-
ulations
The Speakers speech was in line
with the general determination to make
things 60. 1t was brief, pointed anC

LAST RESOLUTIONS.
OF the afternoon session, which open
ed at 4 O'Clock, the important feature
was saved for almost the last moment
when Mr.. Belshaw offered resolutions
relating to the refunding bill now be
fore Congress, and Mr.. Caminetti of
fered substitute resolutions on the
same subject. The House was not
| called upon to act upon these, as they
were referred to committee, WHOSE

After a day of unprecedented hare
work the Assemblymen granted thean-
selves a rest until II o'clock this morn.
