SHOES AT S1,ooo A PAIR.
Physician CobbIer of New York Who
 Has Stuck to His Last to Some Purpose.

Shoes selling at $1 900 pair are the product of factory in New York.
 To style it a shop would be to insult the artisans employed therein.
 They call 1t ''footgear institute, :" and the proprietor goes by noless title than curative orthopedist," says the New York Herald
 The wearing of these s1 GOO shoes is, in the main, a hobby, and is based on nerves gone wrong.
 For there are some persons, 1t seems, who are plagued with sensitive nerves in their feet which ache so excruciat- ingly that nothing can assuage the pain but shoes 'prescribede by physician cobbler
 The learned cobbler listens to tale of the ache, with attending nervous dis turbances, and examines the patients feet with critical scrutiny.
 Every hill and dale of the foot Is in spected and studied, and especially is a sharp lookout kept for the sensitive nerves, which ultimately are sure to be found
 A volume of notes is taken and the prospective customer naturally be- comes impressed with the severity of his ailment
 Next, and what Is very important, a plaster cast of the foot is taken. and if the patients purse is proportioned to his plaint the physician-cobbler is apt to enter new order in his book.

ARMY RECRUITS.
American Physical Type Ta High Ac- cOrdinE to the Report of the
 Surgeon General.

1t appears from the report of the sur geon general Of the United States army that the total number of candidates ex- amined for enlistment was 45,31S, and that of this number about two- thirds, or S0,176, were accepted. This, says the Los Angeles Times, Is large propor- tion, when the fact is taken into ac- count that the standard of excellence required is very high. none but phys ically perfect men being accepted
 { Of the 45,21s applicants for enlist ment, 42,1S3 were white men and 3,035 were colored men. Of the white men, 37,790 were accepted, and of the col ored men 2,3s6.
 Out of every 1000 men accepted. 781.05, on the average were born in the United States, -64 76 in British ter rttory, 42,25 in Germany and S79 In Sweden and Norway. Of 18 American Indians examined, IA were enlisted as scouts. It is interesting to note that during the year 736 native Malays were examined for enlistment as Philippine scouts, and that of these all except 20 were accepted, showing a surprisingly high standard of physique among the Filipinos.

RoBBER BEES DRspoIL HIVES.
Organize Raids to Descend Upon Their More Industrious Neishbors
 for Winters Supply of Honey.

To> the person who knows nothing about bees they represent the supreme type of industry, says the London Chronicle. But even the bee commu- mites are disturbed by those of their own kind who break through and steal Robber bees are always source of anxiety to beekeepers, and in the au- tumn the marauders seem. particular ly active.
 Having gathered no honey, or, at any rate, an insufficient supply for themselves, they descend upon hive, kill it's industrious occupants and carry off the golden treasure in an astonishingly short space of time. We know of recent instance in which the attack was developed and the home bees killed in couple of hours. Some times a hive will attack neighboring hive Tn such cases the old straw skip" was better than the modern arrangement. for knife thrust through the top would break the comb and set the honey free, at which the thieves would instantly return to seal iip thei- own store It is not primar- fly in their industry that bees are human.

DRINK LESS: GAMBLE MORE.
Habits of Men and Women Have Greatly Changed in Last Guar
 ter of Century.

Much more attention is now paid to the liver than was formerly the case. says the London Graphic, The doc tors in recent years have traced many Ills to drink, hnd have trained their patients to be abstentons. That is one of the causes of the decrease which has been referred to. Another is that the high-spirited man, who was mo body's enemy but his own, "1who drank to keep his spirits up, is no longer A favorite. On the contrary he is avoided. The increased habit of din- ing in restaurants has also acted as q check. It Is to be observed, too, that the boisterous element has been al- most entirely removed. Up to about 20 years ago ''knocker-wrenching !" 'larking," practical joking. the hearty style of meeting which found express sion in 8 violent slap upon the back, were not only tolerated, but popular. All that is discredited now.
 On the other hand, there Is much
 more gambling to-day than there was, though. so far as cards are concerned. the stakes are considerably smaller. Three estates lost in three nights in an incident which this generation Is Ignorant of. But almost everyone oc- cssionally gambles in stocks and shares, and many make speculation their chief object In life. Bridge has become little less than a disease among wom- en. Many of the latter spend most of sheir afternoons and evenings over the card table. At the clubs. too, bridge often commences early in the after noon, while most of the gamblers in former days only began playing in the late hours of the evening.
