WHY MANY HEELS ARE LOST.
Modern Machine Pegging on shoes IL
Not Rt All Conducive to
Long Wear.

"Have you noticed" asked the OBJ
servant man, according TO the New
York Times, chow often one sees the
portions OF shoe heels scattered about
at the elevated road stations and other
places where a lift might easily be torn
of? | wonder what the reason is. In
the old days the heels of ones shoes
were the part that chung 10 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 insecurity fastened, and il one
catches the heel of his shoe against a
stair so that there is the least strain
on it il gives way and pulls off. Tho
moral is TO have a set OF steel nails
driven into the heels when you buy a
new pair OF shoes"

and one Of the little dark alleys which lead
out of this thoroushtare, is typical Dutch
grocery of the kind seldom seen nowadays
Schulzhein himself is a staid and kindly old
German who says little, but sells groceries
cheaper than anyone else in Chicago. He
has been doing this so long that the low
. prices have ceased TO astonish anyone but
the residents of the social settlement near
by.
What is the social philosophy underly-

the residents asked him, half humorously.

A singular battle was witnessed re-
Gently in an English apiary. A hive
Of bees was besieged by large swarm

sorties to try to drive away the be-

assaults to drive out the bees. The
battle ragged for two days, at the end
OF which time the bees evacuated the

They are now the undisputed masters
Of the hive. and are reveling in the

No Swearing Before Horses.

In 4 Philadelphia livery stable hangs
this curious notice: mo man shall use
profane language in the hearing Of
these horses" Many who see it regard
it as a joke but the proprietor Of the
stable says it is meant seriously and is
enforced. His explanation is that his
stalls contain the high-bred horses OF
many wealthy patrons; that horses OF
that sort are nearly always sensitive
and nervous, and that loud, harsh con
versation irritates and eXcites them
The explanation involves only one kind
Of profanity. IL is true, but that Is the
most offensive kind.
