WHAT THE CHARACTERS MEAN
CabaIistic Marks on the Inside OF

Cabalistic Marks on the Inside of
Shoes Have a Meaning.
people often ask me the meaning OF
the apparently crazy hieroglyphs and
figures that are stamped on the inner
side of the uppers of ready-made shoes
nowadays" said a shoe dealer the other
day. LAS every shoe mandatory has
a secret stamp code Of its own, and
there is, therefore, no possibility Of the
general public learning more than that
such codes exist. | may as well tell you
that the vanity of customers-shau /
saw. Of women customers particularly
is at the bottom of these queer stamp
ed characters and figures. You'd be
surprised TO know, for instance, how
many women there are who imagine
that they wear a No. 3 shoe, when in
reality the size is a couple or ngures
larger. A shoe salesman who under
stands his business can tell precisely
the number Of the shoe a woman Gus
toner wears at a glance. But, as OTTER

the mysterious stamped hieroglypl
scheme was devised for the purpose o.
encouraging her in the belief that he

oueer Meaienl Test d Death.

A recent report of experiment at the
Academy of Medicine in Paris gives
astonishing testimony OF the virtue of
rhythmical twitching OF the tongue as
a means OF restoring life in cases of
drowning or asphyxiation. Within
the past few months there have been at
this hospital 40 such cases of resusci-
tation by this one means. Some OF the
statements made by NJ. Laborde, of the
Academy of Medicine, in connection
with this report are of exceptional in
terest. In one case a drowned man
was resusciated only after three hours
spent in unintermittent twitching o.
his tongue. Which is certainly re
minder to physicians that this remedy
is one that requires patience.-N. Y

An Important Factor I'm TranscOnti-
mental Travel.
No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his
route. The attractions of the place,
including the Mormon Temple, Taber-
nacle and Church institutions, the
Great Salt Lake-deader and denser
than the Dead Sea in the Holy Land
the picturesque environment and the
warm sulphur and hot springs, are
greater to the square yard than any To-
cality on the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Den
yer & Rio Grande and Colorado Mid
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific Central Route)
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
transcontinetnal line passing directly
through salt Lake City. The route
through salt Lake City via the Ric
Grande Western Railway is famous al
the year round. On account of the
equable climate of Utah and Colorado
it Is just as popular in winter as il
summer. Send &c to J. D. Mansfield

Men In plenty are to be found that
will forgive wrong, insult and even per
sonal violence, but few that ever for
give ridlcule. TO be made laughing
stock to others cuts deeper to the quick
than to be convicted of lying and steal
Ing; Just as picking a pocket or robbing
hen-roost seems to set one In a more
contemplate light than raiding a bank
Men are nightly given TO taking them
selves seriously, and they want to have
others take them so.
Thence 1t is that the way In which a
man stands ridicule is so searching a
test of character. Not without reason
has 1t been said: "Ridicule is the final
test Of truth" for the truth that has
gone through the fire Of this martyrdom
and come out so triumphant as to turn
the laugh on the laughers themselves
is thenceforth impregnable.
Therefore, one Of the first lessons a
sensible parent will insist on with his
children will be that Of courage to
laugh at themselves. and to join merri.
ly in with the laughter Of others at their
expense. Nothing so takes the non
sense out Of a child as timely ridicule
nothing makes him so brave and sensi
Bile as seeing the justice of 1t, and join
ing in with the laugh against himself
He that sweareth to his own hurt anC
changes not" may be a very heroic
character; hut the boy that has made {
fool of himself, and. without conceit o
silly vanity, can see the FOOLS cap pu
on his own head and laugh at himsel
in the mirror on his own bureau, IS
yet greater hero.
Legion Is the number of children tina
have gone to the bad through the tea
of being laughed at for doing right

1t takes time for manure to show
full effect in the soil, and but little
benefit may be noticed the first year,
but gradually the materials will de-
compose and return to the soil the

Some farmers are occasionally disap-
pointed with the use of manure, but
the benefits from manure the first year
depend largely upon its condition wher
applied to the soil.
