Queer @obbIer's Shop in Morse Cor

The strange uses to which abandoned
street cars are put are many indeed,
but one of the oldest of them all is
the fate which has befallen an old
horse car in San Francisco. All day
long the rata -tat-tat of the hammer is
heard from within as the industrious
shoemaker plies his calling, for the car
has become a shoe shop, thoroughly
equipped.
The interior of the car illustrates the
ingenuity of the cobber, and is in itself
a lesson in the economy of space. The
seat at one side has been removed, and
in it's place is tiny showcase two
samples of the shoemaker's skill are
displayed. This shoe ease is about IA
inches wide and 9 feet in length. The
cobbler's wares make a capital show
ing, the case itself is polished as neat
as a new pin, and the shoes give eNi-
dence of a master hand.
From one corner to distance OF
about five feet part of the seat on the
other side remains. Near the center,
followed out, is the seat where the
shoemaker sits and mends or makes
his shoes 1t is u gem of u cobblers s
bench and the shoemaker, John Wach-
stahl, American born in spite of his
Teutonic name, declares it to be the
most comfortable shoe shop in all San
Francisco. Where he says. can you
find place where you can do SO much
and have everything so handy?" And
indeed it is true, for John has his lares

with a motor which obtains its power
of propulsion from the waves of the

For Very many years the utilization
of the power To be derived from the

is what is called a core, and this IS held
in position by means of piVots at the

between the core and shell at every
point will be the same.
The core itself may be made Of iron
or whatever material is preferred.
Around ii is wrapped Il rope of hay in

New and Certain Cure for HYdrophobia.

For more than hundred years It has
been known that the Yaaui Indians Of
Sonora, Mexico. possessed "a vegetable
specific remedy for hydrophobia, abso-
lutely sure To cure, and not in the least
degree poisonous.
Every effort has been made particu-
larly OF late years, To induce some mem
bers OF the tribe to part with the knowl-
edge of the remedy. but until recently
attempts failed At last, however. an
American. j. =. Bell. has succeeded in
penetrating this carefully guarded se-
cret, The specific now proves to have
been taken from shrub quite common
in Sonora and elsewhere in Mexico. This
shrub, shown in the accompanying il
lustration. which is reproduced from
photograph taken by Mr.. Bell. is not
even known To botanists SO far as can
be learned.

Of the faquis carry its use back for
centuries.
