THE SHOE.

The lest advertised and consequent
iy the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co., of Brockton.
Mass. Tie one idea of this company
has always been to sell a shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the S.
shoes of any other concern. They are
able to do this on account of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer In 60 of the principal
cities of the country they have their
W retail stores. The goods are made
In all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Broekton employs
over LOO hands, and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed. and pay about the best
average wages Of any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to SIT .435 per week. This
company makes SHOES for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.--Denve;

Industries Under Free Trade.

That it is possible for industries to
become established and to flourish un-
der free trade was exemplified the 9TH
er day at Lithgow, when a party rep
resenting a conference of in~tercolonial
protectionists were invited by the
proprietary to come and see the iron,
steel and copper producing establish
ments at Lithgow. There are between
200 and 300 men employed in the in
dustry, which has sprung up under
free trade. Under protection, when
federation is accomplished, this indus
try must increase, and Lithgow, a
center Of iron and coal deposits, is
certain to become one of the chief
manufacturing centers of Australasia.

entrances to several cities. They are
tut there as objects of art, and not for
any religious purpose.
In many places in the country there
are also colossal statues of gods and
warriors.
After Peit-Sang is Yang-Tsun, eight
cen miles from Tientsin. The houses
are built of mud brick, made with
straw. They are quite comfortable
inside, and very pretty In appearance
on account of the vegetation around
them, as at so many other towns,
there is a canal, crossed by a boat
bridge.
Lola, about thirty miles from Tien-
tsin, is a more important place than
most OF the others mentioned. The
country is somewhat rolling here.
This place is the seat of an important
mandarin. His headquarters, or va
men, is a big building of blue brick,
ornamented with dragons and queer
Chinese beasts. The entrance Is ap-
propriately decorated with the heads
CT decapitated criminals. In a pound
alongside it other criminals may be
seen undergoing various form of tor
ture. A common punishment that is
inflicted for the most trivial offences
is the cangue. a huge collar Of wood,
almost to heavy to be borne, but so
arranged that 1t prevents prisoner
from lying down.
Forty miles from Tientsin is the i'm
p~ortant walled city Of Lang Fang
which is neal the army's route. This
place is about four thousand years old
l had a peculiar cxperielce here in
what Is described as a first-class Chi
nese hotel.
There is a famous joss house In
Lang Fang which contains twenty
idols, or gods, including the God Of
War, the God of Strength, the God O
Death, the God of Eyes, the God O
Fertility, and others. Followers o.
Buddha and Confucius use these JOSS
houses impartially.
There is also a Temple of Tortures

The g road from Tientsin to
Pekin crosses the S-shaped loops of
the Pei Ho (river) Mt several points
between the two cities. The country
is very level and devoid of picturesque
features.
The river is shallow and very broad
In places. The channel Is only suited
for light draught vessels and is hard
to follow. The Chinese boats are
poled up the river and sail or drift
down. The Chinese have now blocked
the channel. A large part of the coun-
try can be flooded by means Of the
Grand Canal. This rises high above
the surrounding country.
The land Is given up almost entirely
to the cultivation of millst, the prin-
cipal Chinese grain, and to truck gar
dening. The truck gardens are the
most interesting. The cabbages, as
paragus, peas, tomatoes, pumpkins and
other vegetables they grow are
the finest in the world. The Chinese
c%ultivators are independent Of nature
and the elements. They depend Meth
er on rain nor sunshine to raise their
vegetables. The work goes on unin-
terruptedly all the year round.
There are hardly any woods here,
but from time to time there are little,
thick c.umps Of trees, which give shade
and have a peculiarly Chinese appear
ance. Small hamlets are scattered
everywhere. The landscape develops
many strange features as one ap-
proaches the larger towns. Chic
among these are high poles with de-
capitated human heads stuck on tor
Of them. This is the commonest form
Of punishment in China, and the man
DARN puts the heads outside the city
to remind travellers without delay O.
the fate that awaits evildoers. Tele

consists of rows of huge, grotesqu,

carved in soapstone. They form {

The like I never saw before or since.
Before / saw these giants l had meas

around about three feet from the base,
but these trees could not be compared
at all with the big trees l found in
the mountains. They would appear as
mere sticks against those giants.
honestly believe that those giants will
girdle 60 to so feet around near the
base. and that they are $50 to 400 feet

bottom and this fiat Is we'll protected
from discovery, as far as / could per-

from the Hood river side up, but from
the main water divide down. These
big trees are. in my mind. somewhere
near the north line of the National
park, but 1t is doubtful if they are in
it. There are two species of the giant
trees. One species has a yellowish and
not very rough bark, is straight and
round as a candle. has no limbs to an
immense height, and has a nice, won
cerful crown. The father of this very
aristocratic species in our mountains
Is surely the emperor Of u forest.
People must not think that this tree

Nor must they think that this species
is n of the common trees in the
mountains. l cannot say how many
such giants there are. There may be
hundreds, there may be thousands. On
our way home n of my companions

therefore I never went to the noun
tains again, but have always had a de-
sire TO go and investigate further
about those big trees. Cedar Is the
second species of the big trees They
rival in size and grandeur the first spe-
cies. But the most wonderful thing
about them seems to be that they are

Evansville Honey Industry.

The honey producing industry OF
Evansville, Ind, has reached such
magnitude that the city council Is
considering an ordinance declaring
the bees a nuisance, and requiring the
owners of hives to move them outside
the city limits. 1t is said that seventy
five persons have colonies Of bees In
the city, and the bees produce $4,000
worth Of honey a year.. Persons who
want the bees taken out ask that 1t \

represented to the city council thai
there is not a city In the state thai

WRONG IMPRESSIONS MADE.

lives Ruined by Influence of Theatrical
Plays.
A young clerk, holding an excellent
position in a London bank. visited
many years ago a performance Of a
well-known play, in which the hero
makes a huge fortune out Of the sill
yer mines of Mexico, says an exchange.
Excellent as Is the moral of this mag
niicent play. its effect on the career
of this youthful clerk was disastrous,
for, being fired by an ambition to
emulate the doings Of the hero" who
went abroad and secured a mighty for
tune, he actually threw up his berth
at the bank and sailed for the silver
mines. Fortune was against him from
the first. His career at the mines was
a record Of constant toll, accompanied
by constant failure, and eventually he
blew out his brains, leaving a note
in which he declared that the witness
ing of the play in question had been
the cause of his quitting England, and
that he bitterly regretted the day
when he had turned his steps toward
the theater. In another play there Is
a certain foolish woman, who, being
unable to live agreeably with her hus-
band. walks out of his home and re-
turns no more. A young lady residing
in a western London suburb, who had
witnessed this piece, and who fancied
that her own position was akin to that
of the heroine of the said play, de.
cided to follow the latter's example.
and, sure enough, quilted the marital
roof several days later. Her husband
urged her to return to him, but she
steadfastly refused, and the upshot OF
the matter was hat she drifted into
poverty, and, being unable to support
herself by her own efforts, sought
refuge in death. The production OF a
plse of the Jack Sheppard" order in
Paris many years ago was the cause OF
a respectable bridesmaids son taking
to a life of crime. Fired by the feats
tilities by pilfering from his fathers
till, and he followed up these depre-
dations by breaking into a bank on the
outskirts of Paris. When placed in
the dock he struck a theatrical atti-
tude, and made a short speech which
distinctly recalled some Of the lines
from the play which had made so
great IN impression pon him. Doubt
less his vicious tendencies had been
latent up to the time when he visited
the theater, but the play certainly
served to call them forth and set them
in action.

Crickef.s Wone in EnSIand.

Cricket is said to be losing its popu-
larity in England. In several of the
British newspapers this is discussed
as an established fact, and it Is said to
be due to somewhat the same reasons
that have led to the decadence OF
baseball in the United States. Just
as here professionalism has ruined the
national game, so the same evil seems
to have arisen in England. 1t seems
that the best cricket clubs are made up
of professionals and alleged amateurs
who are really professionals and do
little else than play the game and reap
financial benefit thereby more or less
surreptitiously.
