Young Mr.. Bryan's remark that Secretary
Gage possesses "a sublime faith in the su-
periority of money over man and a supreme
contemot for the rights, interests and
opinions of the people at large" is simply
the utterance of cheap demagogue who

SHOES OF THE "CELEsTIALs."
Comfort and HenIthfuIness of Their
Woven Straw Sandals.
From the washington Star.


Il may seem to be quarreling with my
bread and butter" said an uptown chirop-
odist to one of his best customers the
other day, "but in my humble and some
what professional opinion the most sensi-
BILE of all men in the matter of footwear
is the Chinaman. Did you ever notice his
feet? / don't believe there is such a thing
as a corn or bunion in all China. Chiropo-
dists would starve to death there so far as
the requirements of the masculine foot
are concerned. Whatever the deformities
inflicted on the feet OF women in China
may be, the men certainly enjoy sound
and comfortable understandings. Look at
the Chinese laundrymen here in Wash
ington; they stand al their work eighteen
hours day. No class of Workingmen
l know of spend so many hours on their
feet as they do. Yet they never break
down there, and physically they are a
wonderfully healthy race.
Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits of our civilization may
have something TO do with it, but | at
tribute teer exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind of house shoe
so universally worn by them. l have
pair that | have worn for several years,
and I wouldn't wear anything else for
genuine indoor comfort. They are woven
of straw and seaweed and soed with
horsehide. There is a thick sole of straw
above the leather, and through this the
air can circulate freely, keeping the
muscles of the under part of the foot al
ways cool The laundrymen, you notice,
are usually barefoot which is an added
advantage in the matter of healthfulness.
There is about as little ma teral in the
uppers as is consistent with the idea of
shoe, and this is just enough to keep
the thing on the foot This upper too IS
woven loosely of seaweed so that the
air can have access to the foot. No
where does this shoe pinch or in the least
degree press the foot
"These are the indoor shoes OF the Chin
aman. On the street here in the United
States nowadays he wears very common
ly the leather shoes or boots of Ameri-
can manufacture. That is one of the
ways in which he is becoming Ameri-
canized. But the outdoor cloth shoe of
China is a great deal worn also. That,
like the indoor shoe. IS very thick and
soft in the sole, and the foot is never
pinched or strained by it. The healrhiest
fOotgear ever known probably was the
sandal of the Greeks. 1t had no upper,
and. as you will see in statuary, the feet
of men and women were ideally perfect.
All the sandal afforded was a protection
from the ground ITO him who wears
sandals say the Arabs, lit is as if the
world were shod with leather The Chin
aman seems to follow out this motto, and
his shoes are merely soles and nothing
more But the great secret of the excel
lence of his indoor shoe is the half-inch
straw sole"
