American shoe. In a.r,p.nx.

Twenty years ago American shoes
were unknown In Germany. Indeed, ut
that time our shoes were not regarded
as superior to those of German manu-
facture. but the many improvements
which have been made In machinery.
together with the careful study which
our manufacturers have made OF style
and comfort. have placed our shoes In
the front rank. An American can al
most always be distinguished In IL
crowd by his shoes. In 1880 the value
Of shoes imported into Germany from
the United States amounted to 81. .666;
In 1890. to $9.044: In 1895 II was $780,
sos. and for the first Ave months Of
this year the total value Of the shoes

A WOMAN's IDEAL.

Mrs. 9lenkins laid down her novel
with deep sigh. The hero of the
elopement in the last chapter was such
splendidly romantic figure. No won
der his friends wife ran away with
him. Any woman would have found it
impossible to resist him. He was SO
unlike Jack. Poor Jack was so dread
fully prosaic. He never even quar-
relied. He was too phlegmatic for an
ger:
At least that was the way Mrs. Blen-
kins put 1t to herself. OF course Jack
was fond Of her. She knew that per-
fectly well. But his affection took the
form of placid contentment, a desire to
be amiable, sickening domestic bliss.
No rich Southern blood flowed In his
veins. His eyes would not flash; he
never seized her by the wrist, or stamp
ed and called her woman" He never
opposed her. If she expressed wish,
1t was carried out without murmur. II
she scolded him he bore it meekly. An
exasperating man; puny creature; the
reverse of Adolphus de Montmorency,
the hero aforesaid.
Fate had clearly treated Sophia
Blenkins badly In uniting a woman Of
her temperament to such u man as
Jack. Others might be contented to
lead hundrum life by the side Of an
unambitious, domesticated husband;
but Mrs. Blenkins possessed higher
ideals. Her passionate nature and ar
tistic susceptibilities demanded some
thing nobler than commonplace virtue
She felt herself utterly thrown away
upon Jack. He was only fit for the
ordinary woman.
Mrs. Blenkins' reverie was SO deep
that she did not hear the sound of the
!atchkey. The first intimation she re-
ceived of her husbands presence was
when he stood before her. He was not,
certainly, a romantic object. The
pockets of his overcoat bulged out un-
symmetrically; from under each arm
an ungainly brown paper parcel pro-
truded.
II wish you wouldn't make such an
exhibition of yourself!" exclaimed So
phia, with look of intense disgust;
Its so dreadfully bourgeois. Why
didn't You have the things sent?"
Nobody saw me, I'm sure" said
Jack. putting the parcels triumphantly
down on the table, "and l wanted to
give you a surprise
He took out penknife and cut the
string. The first package contained a
pair of warm sleeping socks; from the
second he produced beetle trap. Il
know you suffer from cold feet" he
said, land l heard the cook complain
of the cockroaches this morning" The
rest of his purchases consisted of vari-
GUS household requirements; mouse
trap, set of backing brushes, some
digestive candy, and so forth.
AS Jack displayed these trifies. one
by one. he looked anxiously at his wife
in the hope of detecting a gratified
smile. But Sophia's thoughts had gone
out swiftly to Adolphus de Montmor-
ency. Adolphus would not have pre-
sented himself before the woman he
loved with muddy boots and turned-up

Jones she forgave because his motne,
had been an Italian.
They were married year after
Jacks death. 1t made no difference
to the dead man; the flowers on his
grave had ceased within six weeks OF
the funeral. For whole fortnight
Sophia lived In the delirious atmos-
phere OF two people who do not know
each other. Then her ideals began to
be realized.
Jack had always been deeply inter-
ested in her thoughts and condolences.
HIS acquiescence in her opinions and
siavish admiration of her mental gifts
mad been positively sickening. Eu-
genio would not listen to her at all.
women's views were of no consequence
Whatever in his estimation. II she
spoke on social questions he shut her
up In the rudest fashion.
He never brought her in a present
wnen he came home from business.
Jack never failed to have something
In his pocket, at least twice week.
Dut Eugenio had more important mat
ters to consider. He had his club, and
MIS- Wagner society, and his golf, and
his bicycle. Frequently he dined out
with bachelor friends. When Sophia
demonstrated with him he told her
to mind her own business. He even
went so far as to strike her. The blow
was not so sweet as Sophia had antic-
ipated, in spite of Adolphus.
In years time he had drunk him
self to death. The gossips declared 1t
was a happy release for Mrs. Fitz-
Jones.
But the flowers were always fresh
on Eugenio's grave. And his magniti-
cent tombstone, which absorbed most
OF the widows provision, was the envy
OF every mourning neighbor
When Sophia died year later the
doctor declared it was the result of a
broken heart. She passed away with
the name of Eugenio on her lips.-Lon-

GOLD AND HONEY IN A TREE.
Boys Make Surprising Discovery on u
Tennessee Farm.

Aeuhcrsec rhrms
From the Humboldt (Tenn.) Jour-
nal: Friday afternoon when some
boys who had been to the river bath
ing were returning home along the road
which leads to Colonel !. Fl. Dungsn's
farm they found bee tree about
twenty feet from the roadside Their
first act was to procure an ak and the
necessary fixtures for capturing the
honey. When all arrangements were
completed they proceeded to cut down
the tree. Many were the licks it took
to fell the oak. as it was perhaps about
four or five feet in diameter. and the
number of grains running through the
wood numbered about eighty. which
proved this one to be about eighty
years old. After the tree had fallen
they quickly lighted some rags. and
after the bees had been smoked out
each boy made rush to obtain his
share of the honey. They soon filled
twenty-gallon stand and two or three
buckets, and as the last comb of honey
was being taken down they saw some
shining object still further down in the
tree. They set to work with their AK,
and soon block was Clipped of large
enough to see the object better. and it
was found to be pot of gold. the value
of which was $4,000. Whose it was and
how 1t came to be there no one can tell,
but 1t is supposed to have been put
there during the war In 1865.
