Brockton's prosperity is so closely allied to
the prosperity of the shoe indus try that il
will, no doubt, prove matter of interest to a
large number of people to learn the act
ual average earning capacity of each individ-
ual employed in the making of the world
famed Brockton shoe. For illustration: At
the factory of the w l.. Douglass Shoe Com
pany the pay roll for the week ending Sept.
8 excluding superintendent, foremen, sales
men and all clerical help, shows the average
earnings of the employees large and small, to
be $l5H per week. This was not an extraor-
dinary week. 1t was the customary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not always tell the story of prosperity.
The number of weeks employed each year is
the determining factor in the wage earners'
prosperity. The Douglass factory has been
closed but one week this year, and that for
the usual summer stock taking, and It will be
closed but three days the latter part of De-
cember. This would make but nine days out
of t he year that the factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work as the most indus
trous shoemaker could desire.
Owing to increased business, another addi-
ton is to be made to the Douglass factory,
1t will be 100 1eet long, 40 feet WIDE and five
stories high. 1t will be ready for occupancy
early in December, This addition increases
the capacity % per cent. The w. l.. Douglass
Shoe Company has the largest factory in the
world, producing an advertised line So so and
$500 shoes.
Mr.. Douglass says that the prospect for sue.

was never SO good as now, and tn at collec.
tions are better than for years

By the result of these efforts will
her strength be gagged. In assem-
bling an army twice as large

first time in many decades, of her abil-

Although her naval strength has Of

it has still been a matter of doubt
whether her military arm would COM

An Extraordinary Mountain

Near the little station of Mara. 1as,
Peru, which means marvellous" on
the Southern railway, there is a noun
tain of which the most extraordinary
stories are told. 1t is claimed to be a
solid mass of ores of all varieties in
discriminatory mixed, and as one
citizen declared, "all you have to do
is to blindfold your eyes, turn around
three times, throw little salt over
your left shoulder, then begin to dig
where your spade strikes and you can
get any kind of ore you want-gold.
silver, copper, lead, tin, antimony or
anything else-and it lies right on the
surface like gravel" The fact that
this extraordinary neurological
phenomenon has not been utilized,
however, rather detracts from the in
terest Of the story.-Chicago Record.

NATAL

the war in Zululand he won the rare
Victoria Cross in the retreat of Inhlo-
bane. On that occasion he saved the
life of brother officer who was retir-
ing on foot hotly pursued by the Zulus.
This gallant deed was only a sample
OF his conduct. Since that time Butler
has been conspicuous figure in the
fierce fighting of the British on land in
vaded by their forces. He took part IN
the actions of Tel-el- -Keber and of Kas-
sassin during the Egyptian war of 1882,
and served with distinction under
Wolseley in the Sudan expedition of
1884. 1t is the opinion of good judges
that, with the exception of Wolseley
and Roberts, Butler stands head and
shoulders over any general now in the
British army.
The excellent Boer Workmanship,
combined with the fact that it is an
unwritten rule in the British army
that officers must always stand under
fire even though the men are lying
down, makes mourning probable in
many noble British house.
The Admiralty is perhups more on
trial than the army, especially as it is
well known that General Lord Garnet
Wolseley, the Commander-in in Chief,
does not approve a system which gives
the navy such far-reaching power in
transporting troops.
In 1882 Great Britain despatched
fifteen thousand troops in three weeks
to Alexandria, Egypt, feat that elicit
ed the intense admiration of Count
Won Moltke, but the task of shipping
more than tifty-two thousand men has
no parallel in the history of England.
Already two branches of the service
are beginning to blame each other for
various delays, but it is scarcely ap-
parent that there has yet been any
serious lack of facilities.
The ship brokers have undoubtedly
worked something like corner On the
Admiralty, as they did during the
Hispano-American War, and the re-
cent breakdown of two transports is
still the cause of considerable abuse
of the Adm iralty.
The most remarkable point in con-
nection with the transport arrange
ments is that about eighty ships can
be taken into the Government service
without materially disturbing the ship
ping trade.
The weakest joint in the whole mob
ilization seems to be the Army Service

There are many stylish "all-over"
laces with round dots half an inch in
diameter and with small conventional
figures that are to be made up in

laces have patterns in chiffon set into
net in black and white. There are

test are blue with tiny polka dot of
pink or red, while the red and blue
with black polka dots are always
smart. This is by no means an eco
nomical fashion, as the waists soils
very quickly; but it is very pretty
one, and there is much more warmth
in the flannel waists than in the silk
ones. One style of flannel waist is a
little more elaborate and really more
useful; it is made of plain flannel, red
or blue, is cut out in square at the
neck, and has a chemisette and stock
collar of black satin; and on the
sleeves, that are in coat shape, are
small turned-over cuffs of black satin.
These are pretty waists, and are fash
ionable with any skirt.
