WHY MANY HEELS ARE LOST.
Modern Machine Pcgging on Shoes Is
Not mt All Conducive to
Long Wear.

Have you noticed" asked the OBJ
servant man, according to the New
York Times, "how often one sees the
portions of shoe heels scattered about
at the elevated road stations and other
places where lift might easily be torn
off? | wonder what the reason is. In
the old days the heels of ones shees
were the part that clung to the uppers
most closely. You newspaper fellows
are supposed to know everything.
just answer that conundrum.' The
writer could not, but a shoe dealer
could, and did. THE reason" said he,
sis because in these days of machine
made shoes the heels are fastened on
by machinery, as is every other part
of the shoe. Soft iron is used for the
nails instead of steel, as this is handled
more easily. When the lifts of the heels
have been fastened in place the nails
protrude. The shoes are then sent to
another machine, where they are
shaved off instead of being driven
home, as in the days when the work
was done by hand. The result is that
they are insecurely fastened, and if one
catches the heel of his shoe against a
stair so that there is the least strain
on it it gives way and pulls off. The
moral is to have a set of steel nails
driven into the heels when you buy
new pair of shoes"

PEOPLE MARRY OLDER.
some interesting Matrimonial Facts
Cleaned ut n Missouri County
Courthouse.

ages given in marriage licenses in
the recorders office show that men
and women are marrying later in life
than ter or twenty years ago. The
average age, says the Kansas City
journal, is considerably above that
of ten years ago. and very much
above that of 20, 80 or 40 years ago.
Formerly it was the rule rather than
the exception for brides to be II or
Is and grooms 20 or 81. Now it is al
most reversed. Figures for several
months show that the average brides
age is between 25 and 26 and the
groom's between 2s and 90
The average of the first six couples
applying for license at the recorders
office on recent day was 33B for the
men and 30 for the women. When the
number of couples had reached nine
the figures were reduced to 30 for the
men and 2S for the women. These
figures, however, are not a good cri-
terion, the couples applying that day
happening to be a little older than
ordinarily. Figures also indicate that
couples marrying in May are younger
on the average than those marrying
in the fall of the year.
II don't know to what to attribute
the tendency to marry later in life"
said the marriage license clerk, "un-
less it is that it takes the young man
longer to get start in the world
than it did 20 or 80 years ago. The
country is more developed, there are
not so many opportunities open to
him, and he must wait longer before
he finds himself in a position that
would warrant his taking the respon.
sibility of supporting family. In
other words, men no longer marry
young because they can't afford it,"

COOK ISLANDS ANNEXED.
Great Britain takes Formal Possess
sion CT Them nt the Request
of the Chiefs.

On October 3, last. the governor OF
New Zealand landed on the Cook
islands and formally annexed them to
the British empire at the unanimous
request of the chiefs and people. For
~ years the islands have been under
the protection of Great Britain and
every enactment of the native legis-
lature has had to receive the approva!
of the British resident at Raratonga
before being regarded as law. But
there has never been any formal an
nexation Of the group and the natives
are probably delighted to have that
ceremony carried out.
The islands, lying far southeast OF
Samoa. are off the usuai lines of steam
er traffic, and most of their trade is
carried on with New Zealand and New
South Wales. They properly bear the
name of the great navigator Cook. for
he discovered the greater part of the
group on his second journey In 1878, and
made them better known in his VOYAGE
OF 1777. Cook named one of the islands
Hervey island. and the missionaries who
settled there somehow got into the
habit of applying the name Hervey to
the whole group. and to-day they are
called indifferently, the Cook or Hervey
islands.
All of them are coral islands, lift I'd
only little way above the sea level ex-
cept Raratonga, the largest and most
populous, whose volcanic mountain
rises to height of 4,GOO feet. Rara-
tonga is one of the pearls of the South
seas, and is rich in all the products of
the southern archipe.agoes. The ma
tives have long used cotton cloth as
money, but coin is now likely to be in
troduced.

COMMON CACTUS.
One Thnt Lived Seven Years Under

Berlin.

One of the commonest of cacti in
gardens is the Echinopsis multiplex
small subglobular species, with five
or six sharp ribs, and sparsely sprin.
kled with few clusters of long. black
spines on the sharp edges of the ribs.
1t sends up occasionally large, white
tubular flower, which, like so many
of the family, opens at night and soon
withers away. In Germany a druggist
named Ludwig Rust placed a speci-

ago. and it is said to be yet in a
thriving condition." to the surprise
of the scientific men of Berlin, who
are puzzled to know where it obtains
its carbonic acid from. Many sugges-
tions are advanced as to the source
of this element. So far as the pub
lished account goes, however, there
is no indication that the specimen was
weighed before it was encased or
weighed after its seven years of en-
tombment-no evidence, ii may be
said, that any carbonic acid was alb
sorbed 1t is just as likely to be a
case of dormancy. 1t is now well un-
derstood that in the absence of ex-
citing causes dormancy in vegetation
may be retained indefinitely.
