.HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

zone day when l was in the customs
service" said an eX-federal employee,
81 went down to meet Baltic ship
that had a number of emigrants on
board. The first one | ran across was
big, loutish fellow, with the stupidest
countenance | ever saw in my life. His
features were of the Scandinavian type,
and as IL venture | tackled him in Nor
wegian, but he only grunted and shook
his head.
''In the inspection service one has to
be bit of a linguist, and | pride my
self on having working knowledge CT
four different languages, besides being
able to ask few stereotyped questions
in almost as many more. So l repeated
my inquiry in German, and it was
again evident that the fellow didn't I'M
ing he might be peasant from one of
the provinces but he only shook his
head, and another effort in Italian was
equally no go.
by that time | was greatly puzzled.
| had never before encountered an en-
igrant on a Baltic vessel who didn't
know a little something about at least
one of the four tongues l have named,
and this chap didn't look as if he be-
longed to south Europe. When ] fired
off the question, Who are you? in
Spanish, Portuguese and Russian and
still got nothing but a shake and a
stare, | was about at the end of my
string Just then the mate happened
along
"'Come here l called, and tell me
something about this big cannibal. He
don't speak any known language
"At that the emigrant slowly opened
his mouth.

liberately.
The dickens you dov l exclaimed.
Then why the mischief didn't you say
so instead of keeping me here jabber-
ing?
"'You didn't ask me- he answered,
cool as a cucumber and taking plenty
of time.

RADlATED HEAT.
An Easy Way to Cure Poisonou.
Wounds of All Kinds

The early application of radiated heat
has been long time known as an effect
i've antidote to bites of snakes, insects
and to punctured wounds, as from fish
fms and sharp inanimate bodies.
l cannot recall reading this fact any
where, yet l think that it is we'll known,
and, like Wau-K au-Mah, l mention it for
the benefit of the readers of Forest and
Stream. Even those who are chained to
business" may use it, as it is good for
spider bites.
Dr. Constantine Herring, noted scien-
fist, who died in Philadelphia in 1880,
aged 81 years, was the first person
know of who had used radiated heat to
antidote the poison of snake bite. This
he did in his own person and successfully
antidoted the virus of one of the most
poisonous snakes of South America, the
Lachesis trigonacephalus. 1t seems
strange that, although the fact of radiat
ed heat is so generally known to be an
dom used as such.
Those who hunt and fish usually have
the means at hand to supply it. l have
used lighted cigar, bunch of waste, a
pine torch, the flame of a gasoline lamp,
but, best of all, the glowing embers of
the campfire.
When the fin of fish punctures the
finger or the hand, sharp pain usually
ensues and may extend from the wound
up the arm to the shoulder. This pain is
often excruciating and sickening. Hold
the wound close to a redhot ember or
anything giving off an equal amount of
heat, and you will note that in a minute
or two all the pain is gone and that it is
seldom necessary to repeat the applica-
ton of heat. Healing takes place with
out further attention.
When the face or other parts of the
body are tingling and burning and itching
from mosquito bites so that it is impossi-
BILE to go to sleep, give the parts dose of
radiated heat, and you will go to sleep
without further annoyance from the old
bites.-Forest and Stream.

The FIRST RUBBER SHOES.
They Melted In Summer and Became
Brittle In Winter.

Amey nMelhGO IN summer ana Became
Brittle In Winter.
India rubber shoes were first manu-
featured in Roxbury, Mass, in 1888, and
verify they were ''fearfully and wonder
fully made" They really bore no re-
semblance whatever to a shoe. They
had the appearance of having been run
into molds or blown, the same as glass
bottles are made They were made of
pure rubber gum No attempt was
made to initiate the shape of the shoe or
foot they were intended to cover. In
shape they were hollow tubes, tapering
toward the toe.
At the place where the opening to pull
on the overshoe should be was an irregu-
lar hole, without shape, just as they
came from the mold. The hole was en-
larged with a sharp pair of shears to fit
the instep, or cut high or low to suit the
taste or caprice of the customer. The
work was done by the salesman after
the buyer has selected, according to his
requirements, heavy or light, thick or
thin. Mems sizes were very heavy, the
soles being frequently from one-fourth
to half inch in thickness. They were
tied in pairs and stuffed with straw or
hay to keep them in shape for shipment.
A lady's foot, incased in such huge, i'll
shaped mass of india rubber gum, weigh
ing at least pound, presented a clumsy
appearance, indeed, particularly when
compared with the light and truly ar
tistic appearance of the present styles.
The first attempt at making overshoes
of india rubber did not prove a success, a
large amount of capital being sunk in the
experiment, as well as all the unsold
stock. They answered the purpose in
cold weather, but would not stand the
heat, melting into a disgusting mass.
Experiments to remedy this difficulty
resulted in reaching the opposite ex-
IRENE, the cold weather freezing them
brittle, so they could not be drawn over
the shoe until they were thoroughly
warmed, and this obstacle to success was
not overcome until Charles Goodyear
discovered his process of vulcanizing rub
Der, which has rendered his name i'm
mortal.
Rapidly following this era of improve
ments, the india rubber shoe began to
assume beauty of proportions and piac
teal utility.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

be observed by those who often arrange
flowers: Use plenty of foliage. Put your
flowers in very lightly. Use artistic
glasses. Do not use more than two or at
the most three different kinds of flowers
in one decoration. Arrange your eolors
to form bold contrast, or, better still
soft harmony The aim of the deco
rator should be TO show off the flowers.
