Iuck In Old Sho%a.

The Chinese value pair OF old boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom Of wishing
friend "happy foot" is still observed
all through Europe. The casual putting
on the left shoe ON the right foot, put
ting it on uneven or crosswise, bursting
the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and
losing button are all bad signs. A
Yorkshire man will spit in his right
shoe before putting it on, when going
out ON important business, to bring luck,
and many an English girl has been
known to hang her boots outside Of the
window ON ST. Valentines night for
love luck.
Professor Black tells us Of singular
superstition existing in England, which
insists that il the youngest daughter OF
family marries first her sisters must
dance at the wedding without shoes, SO
- to insure husbands for themselves.
Old shoe throwing is done for many
purposes. In Ireland the election Of q
person to almost any Office is concluded
BY throwing an old shoe over his head.
The gypsies say:
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1897-05-04
Hurle after an old shoe,
I'll be merry what hero ] do.

In the isle of Man an old shoe is al.
ways thrown after the bride, as well as
the groom, when leaving their homes.
and in the south the Oldest person ON
the plantation, white or black, always
throws a shoe after any one starting on
long journey. 1t is said that Nine
Patti and other women of high standing
on the stage preserve most carefully the
boots they wore at their debut, which
they consider lucky to wear ON the first
nights Of engagements forever after

CANADA'S VIEW.

Toronto. October 1.-The Mail editorially
says:
In 1871 the United States proposed to
Great Britain that the naval force to be
maintained on the lakes by both govern
ments should be confined as follows: on
Lake Ontario. one vessel. not exceeding
100 tons burden and armed with one Is
pound cannon; one the upper lakes two
such vessels similarly armed; on Lake
Champlain one vessel. II was further
proposed that all other armed vessels
should be dismantled and that no fur
thcr vessels of war be built or armed on
the lakes. To all this her majesty's gov
ernment agreed. Now the United States
is sending 10 the upper lakes the warship
Yantic, OF 900 tons. rs a training vessel.
She is not TO be armed when she passes
through the canals. as that would violate
the agreement. but rapid-fire battery
is to be placed on board at Erie. The
attention of the government at Ottawa
is directed to these fects. We have no
war vessels on the lakes. Why should
the International agreement be broken
by the United States?

FRANCHISES AND
MUNICIPAL POLITICS
Ex-rRrSIDrNT HARRISON rAyORs rub
Lie OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC SERVICE.

Works Should Be Operated
by Cities.

New York. October 1.-Former Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison is quoted in an
interview on municipal politics in the
World as saying:
''Of special Importance are the safe
guards to be thrown about the granting
OF franchises to the promoters OF great
schemes for the public service. In this
respect there are valuable lessons to be
learned from late foreign experiments.
Some principal cities of Scotland have
assumed each the control of its street
railway systems and its lighting plants,
.as we'll as its water works. The result
OF this public ownership Of great public
enterprises has been exceedingly salts
factory and instructive. I am inclined
to consider municipal ownership as the
best means to secure to the people the
cheapest and best service. OF course the
effects OF competition between private
enterprises are not to be lost sight Of
as far as they increase quality and lower
prices. But the usual method of selling
franchises outright or in receiving for
them a royalty seldom gives to the
people more than a 1.-THE of what the peo-
pie themselves later return. The bigger
the price the larger the royalty; the
greater the cost of ride or of a gas jet.
Ii is a species of tax"

The speculation in wheat and cotton
has been set back by the bright crop
prospects. All Industries are pushed to
increase their working force with occa.
sional rises in wages by the growing de-
maud. This is largely for replenish-
meni Of stock, but dispatches show that
the retail trade at nearly all northern
points continues to expand, and the deal
ers we'll know that the Increase OF work
ing forces and wages insure n larger
distribution OF goods.
Numerous appeals for speedy deliveries
disclose a more rapid distribution already
than had been expected, and in textile
work manufacturers are hindered from
taking as liberal orders as they might
by the doubts about future prices, though
having enough to do for some tins.
