AMERICAN SHOE INDUSTRY.
The Output of Footwear in This
Country Is Something
Enormous.

The books, shoes and slippers made
by machinery in the United States
every year would provide pair of
some kind for more than one-seventh
of the inhabitants of the earth. If
they were arranged by pairs, heels
and toes touching, they would make
a belt that would encircle the globe,
with enough to spare to stretch
across the North American continent
from New York to San Francisco.
Placed singly, heel and toe, they
would go around the world two and
half times. If placed on the tracks
of our great trunk railroads, the
rights on one rail and the lefts on
the other, they would cover the irons
from the Atlantic to the Pacific of all
the continental lines that now cross
our country, says shoe journal.
The hides and skins used to form
this immense quantity of shoes come
from all over the world, but chiefly
from the East Indies, South America
and Europe, and if they were sewed
together in one sheet they would
make tent large enough to cover
Manhattan island.

SILK HATS IN Japan.
some queer Specimens Are Worn by
Men Who Affect European
{ Fashions.

The Japan Weekly Advertiser has
few words to say about the aping
of western customs by the japanese,
and takes for it's text the foreign
clothes seen on citizens of the flow
cry empire. 1t says:
Men of fair status are frequently
to be seen wearing silk hats of ante
diluvian pattern, with ordinary ma
tive costume down to geta and zori.
"As for the hats, where the blocks
come from is a mystery, but the fact
remains that Bowery or White
chapel tough would be ashamed to
go abroad in some of the abortions
masquerading as powders and top
pers,' which are as common as per-
simmons in Japan.
Here is a case where the natives
cannot excuse themselves on the
ground that they have no model to
go by. A glance at the first for
eigner should be sufficient to teach
them that a hard hat worn over the
ears, and measuring scarcely more
than two inches in height from the
brim to the crown, is not fashion
able adjunct of European costume in
the twentieth century, though it
might have been so 80 years ago"
The wearing of silk hat with a
kimono is, says the Advertiser, "the
outward and visible sign of a certain
intellectual inaptitude."

Odd Animals.

A Morley, Mecosta county, cat has
an appetite SO fastidious that she re:
fuses beefsteak for diet and milk as
a washdown, and will eat only CO.
coanut butter and boiled mincemeat
aad drink nothing but grape wine
says the Detroit Tribune. The most
singular thing about tabby's refusal
of beefsteak is that she is not no.
tel cat, but an inmate of private
family. For a contrast, we note a
Deerfield dog that devours greedy
meal of raw potatoes and look.
around cheerful and refreshed. His
case recalls an advertisement where
in the owner offers for sale a white
bulldog, with the assurance that he
"will eat anything; very fond of chill
dren."

FELINE FRIEND OF coNvICTS.
Big Gray Cat Is the Pet of Prison ers
in the Michigan City Qnd)
Penitentiary.

The pet of the prisoners at the In
diana state prison at Michigan City
is gray cat, said to be the largest
animal of the kind in the state. 1t
weighs % pounds, is nine years old
and has been inside the big walls
since it was kitten. All over the
big institution it is known as Tige,
says local report.
Warden Reid, who values the an
imal very highly, says that Tige has
a queer fondness for the prisoners,
one of whom claims to be it's master
and from whom it receives all kinds
of attention. The cat makes up with
a very few of the officers, allows no
familiarities on the part of strangers
or visitors, but in every case ex-
poets the caress of the prisoner and
gets it.
In it's early days it was the cats
custom to visit the dollhouse and to
make friendly calls along the ranges,
rubbing its fur at each grated door
and singing it's little song as if it
wished to purr out it's sympathy for
the confined. But there came time
when its place was usurped by an
other of it's kind and this resulted in
the old haunts being abandoned.
This was brought about by the cell
house keeper bringing to his abode
kitten and the dislike occasioned
by the newcomer has been unrelent-
ing. Tige may now be seen about
the yard, coming and going without
hindrance. Most of the time it stays
about the pumphouse, where it's mas
ter holds sway and where no other
feline may intrude and get away
without fight.
