The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1898-09-07

A certain Greek adventurer some
years ago undertook to palm off upon
the public some false copies of the gos.
pei manuscripts Many learned men
We're deceived, but not DIR. Coke, libra.
rian Of tho Bodleian library at Oxford
How he detected the fraud is related in
his own words in The Spectator:
never really opened the book, but !
held it i'll my hand and took one page
of it between my finger and thumb
while listened to the rascal's account
of how he found this most interesting
antiquity.
At tho end Of three or four minutes I
handed it back to him with tho short
comment, Nineteenth century paper,
my dear SIR" and he took it away in q
hurry and did not come again.
Yes l was pleased, but l have han
died several ancient manuscripts in my
time. and know the feel of old paper.

chiropodist to ono of his best customers
the other day, "bnt in my humble and
somewhat professional opinion, the most

notice his feet don't believe there is
such thing as a corn or a bunion in
all China Chiropodists would starve
to death there so far as the requirements
of the masculine foot are concerned
Whatever the deformitics inflicted on
the feet of women in China may be, the
men certainly enjoy sound and comfort.
able understandings Look at the Chi
nesc laundrymen here in Washington
They stand Mt their work lS hours a
day. No class of workingmen know OF
spend so many hours on their feet as
they do Yet they never break down

Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits Of our civilization may
have something to do with it, hut at
tribute their exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind of house

years, and | wouldn't wear anything
else for genuine indoor comfort They
are woven of straw and seaweed and

part of the foot always cool The laun.
drymen, You notice, are usually bare

the matter of healthfulncss. There is
about as little material in the uppers as
is consistent with the idea of shoe.
and this is just enough to keep the
thing on tho foot. This upper, too. is
woven loosely of seawced, so that the air
can have access to the foot Nowhere
does this shoe pinch or in the least de-

"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street hero in the
United States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots of
American manufacture That is one of
the ways in which he IL becoming

That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
