HEIGHT ADDED ON THE HEELS.
One Way of Helping Those Who Think
They Are Too Short.

From the New York Sun.
A Young man with two very bad feet
went into the shop Of an orthopedlc shoe-
maker the other day to see II he couldn
get something in the way of footwear that
he could put on his feet without suffering
pain. After attending to his own needs, he
began a scrutiny of the things In the shop
and concluded that there were good many
people in this world who were worse OF
than he Among other remarkable looking
shoes was pair with tremendously high
heels. The heels were not French-shaped,
tapering to point, but solid and substan-
tial like those of ordinary walking shoes.
except for their excessive height. That
part Of the shoe which comes UP around
the Achilles tendon was also of great
height and gave the shoe as 1t sat on the
floor a most peculiar appearance. The
young man asked what was the matter
with the unfortunate VINO nad TO wear Such
shoes.
"He wants to get Job in the post Office.
said the shoemaker. He is too short by
nature, and he wants me to make him
longer without any ones being the wiser.
Those shoes look strange now. but as soon
as their owner gets them on his feet they
will look all right, and you could not tell,
unless you examined him closely, that he
was standing fully two inches off the
ground. Most Of the height is added inside
the shoe. 1t seems that in order to get
this job he has to be two inches higher
than he really Is. He is naturally very
short. He came to me and asked me If
could help him out. I told him could If
he had the money to pay me. You know,
skill in shoemaking costs like skill in any
other line Of business. 1 told him that for
$35 I could fix him UP. Now he will be all
right If they only measure him with his
shoes on. If they don't, he's out s35.
II do a good deal of that sort Of business
There are lot of people who are very
sensitive about their lack Of height This
Is especially true Of little men, but there
are some women who want to look stately
and they do SO by having their shoes built
up inside. They are good customers Vain
men and women always are, for they are
willing to pay any price to satisfy their
vanity. The trick Is rather a difficult one
to do so that 1t Is not noticeable It is
harder for men than for women. because
there are no skirts to help to conceal any
outward peculiarties. The average shoe
maker has trouble in accomplishing the
end desired, and so they come to me and
pay fancy prices. because they know that
I make all sorts of peculiar things that
are called shoes. II they are willing to paw
the money. I suppose I ought to be clad

Growth Of Our Exports During the
Last Quarter Century.
OF PRACTICALLY 2o0PERCT.
One By One1thel Nations Have
Been odtSttripped.
TABULATEDBY YEARS

The United States seems likely to stand at
the head of the worlds list of exporting ma
lions in the year 1900. One by one the great
nations have fallen behind in the race for
this distinction until during the past five
years only the united kingdom and the
United States could be considered as COM
petitors for the distinction of being the
worlds greatest exporter of articles of home
production. In 1894 the united kingdom led
the United States by nearly s250, 900, 900. and
in 1897 the United States had so rapidly
gained that she was but $6O.e0000O behind.
In 1898 the United States took first place,
our exports in that year exceeding those of
the united kingdom by nearly SlOO,0O0,O00.
In 1899 the united kingdom again stood at
the head Of the list, her exports exceeding
those Of the United States by nearly $685..
100000. In the eleven months of 1900 whose
figures have been received by the treasury
bureau Of statistics the domestic exports Of
the United States exceed those of the united
kingdom by S. 41367O. and should this rate
of gain be maintained in December the
United States will in the year 1900 show
larger expectation of domestic products
than any other nation in the world.
Compared With Other Great Nations.
Even this distinction. however. OF heading
the worlds list of exporting nations but
partially tells the story of the wonderful
growth of our export trade as measured by
that of other nations. Comparing the
growth Of our exports during the last quar-
ter of the century with those of the other
great nations of the world we are able to
better measure the wonderful progress
shown. France shows increase in her
exports of domestic merchandise in the
closing quarter Of the century; Germany
shows during the same period an increase
Of about 80 per cent, and the united king
dom shows from 1875 to 1900 an increase
of nearly 40 per cent. While the United
States shows during that time an increase
of practically 200 per cent.
The following table, compiled from Of
fetal reports, shows the exports of domes-
tic merchandise from the United States and
the united kingdom, respectively. in each
calendar year from 1915 to 1889 and eleven
months Of the year 1900:

presents difficulties. but not 50 great that
dogs are desirable in any large town, for
1t Is perfectly cruel to keep huge creatures
which require a good deal Of exercise shut
UP in town houses, where they only get an
occasional run in the parks, their chief ex-

streets at the end Of chain. A dog that
requires Sluch washing is always NUS

ought to be avoided. On muddy day
and we all know what London mud is-they
will come home in an appalling condition,
and 1t sometimes takes hours to wash and
comb them. For town. then, a dog ought
to be small, short-coated and any color but
white.
OF all town dogs, the present fashionable
Schipperke appears to be the best, for he
has all the necessary qualifications. His
jet-black coat is short and easily brushed,
he Is convenient size. and most intelli-

never will he condescend to make friends

chance Of his being stolen is considerably
reduced. Schipperke Is the most nervous
and hIghly-strung Of all dogs, and requires
1udicious management, but he Is one Of the
most delightful little companions any lady
can desire. The black-an-tan terrier Is q
