THE AMERICAN SHOE.
Relative Merit Of English and United
-91 States Footwear.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
Considerable controversy and discussion
has been INDUCED in Of late by certain Eng
lish shoe manufacturers, wholesalers and
trade Journals regarding the solidity and
wearing qualities Of American shoes, and
in treating on the subject the remarks have
invariably been uncompIimentary to our
manufacturers.
Some have unblushingly stated that the
Yankee shoe is unfit for the English mar
ket, owing to the fact that after 1t has once
been worn in the rain 1t is practically unfit
for further wear. Such hbelous state
ments scarcely need any comment for our
comparatively large exports to Great Brit
ain during the past two years are direct
and substantial Endorsement Of the growing
popularity OF the American shoe there.
1t was only recently that the conservative
London Times humorously remarked that
II the importation of boots and shoes into
England was not checked 1t would only be
q question Of short time when every Eng
lishman would know how 1t felt to be in
American shoes.
The style and finish Of the Yankee shoe
Is such that its superiority goes unques-
toned by Its enemies. and therefore the
only opening for attacking it's merits lies in
questioning its makeup" and wearing
qualities. American shoe producers cater
Ing for foreign trade realize that some Eng
lish shoe manufacturers lose no opportunity
OF defaming the solidity Of the Yankee
boots and shoes. and they have In a meas
ure defended themselves by furnishing for
eign buyers with an honest description of
the makeup" of their goods
No attempt has been made to deceive the
shoes. He has been informed that II he
needed q shoe to sell at 81 or less he would
get an article which would contain more or
less "compo." but that II he wanted

ing that the chief engineer of the fire de-
partment recently inspected the building

attachments be placed on the various
floors of the building. and that axes and
other appliances be provided.
Mr.. Field desires to know II the fire alarm
box can be installed by the District gov
eminent, and. If SO, at what expense.
In accordance with a recommendation by
Electrical Engineer Allen, Mr.. Field Will
be informed that the cost Of installing a

sAGAcITY OF A,WILDcAr.
Shows More Nerve Than Man Would
Have Under Like Circumstances.

From tho Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Wildcats" says an old hunter, 'often
show foxlike cunning, and one, I remem-
Der. gave proof Of more nerve than would
have been capable Of myself under similar
circumstances. Six Of US. with the dogs
were On the trail of a particularly large
and dangerous one. We were crouching
in the bushes when the dogs chased it into
a small clearing. There was a faint rus
Ting in the leaves. a succession of light
sprtngtng leaps. and the great, ferocious-
looking animal bounded into the middle of
the open. Curiosity kept every finger
steady on the trigger. For an instant the
cat glanced back in the direction of the
I hounds. then retraced its trail a little dis
lance. and sprang to the trunk of a lean
ing tree which had been broken off about
forty feet from the ground Instead of
Jumping from 1t. however. as we expected,
the cat scrambled around on the under
side and crouched on a limb that projected
two or three feet. his short ears thrown

hound scented the trail up the tree and
rushed up the leaning trunk followed by
the other dogs. Motionless as q stone,
except for the movement Of its terrible
Eyes and an almost imperceptible motion of
the tip of its bushy tail, crouched the cat
on the broken limb. It was a magnificent
exhibition of nerve and self-control. Only
the thickness of the trunk was between 1t
and the foremost hound. For q moment
the dogs paused. baf1ed. then leaped to the
ground and started again on the old trail
The cat watched its enemies out Of sight,
peered cautiously about on all sides for a
moment or two. and then sprang to the
ground. In another instant It would have
disappeared among the underground. and
for my part was quite willing to see it es-
cape. But my companion who apparently
did not share in my admiration Of the
brute's pluck. fired from behind me. With
a yell the wildcat leaped into the air. When
1t came down 1t did not land, after the
tradition Of the feline. on its feet, but in

The Soldier Ant.
From Golden Penny.

uotueu
The lion is the king of beasts but all of
his magnificent strength and ferocity
would avail him nothing when he faces a
mere ant. But this ant is not the usual
kind which peacefully goes about its do
mestic duties day by day. 1t is the ter
rtble driver, or soldier ant, said to be the
most invincible creature In the world.
M. Collard, a French missionary in the
Barotse valley Of South Central Africa,
thus writes of these terrors there:
'One sees them busy in innumerable
battalions, ranked and disciplined, winding
along like a broad black ribbon of watered
SILK. Whence come they? Where are they
going? Nothing can stop them. nor can
any object change their route. If IL is an
inanimate object they turn aside and pass
on. If it Is living they assail 1t venemous-
ly, erowding one on top of the other to the
attack, while the main army passes on,
buSineSSlike and silent. Is the obstacle
trench of a stream of water? Then they
form themselves at it's edge into a COM
pact mass. Is this deliberative assem-
bly,? Probably, for soon the mass stirs
and moves on crosses the trench or stream
and continues on its incessant and mysteri-
Gus march. A multitude of these soldiers
are sacrificed for the common good, and
these legions. which know not what 1t is
to be beaten, pass over the corpses of these
victims to their destination
Against these tiny enemies no man or
band of men, no lion or tiger, nor even
herd Of elephants, can do anything but
hurriedly get out of the way. Among the
Barotse natives favorite form of capital
punishment is to coat the victim with
grease and throw him before the adyanc-
ing army Of soldier ants. The quickness
with which the poor wretch is dispatched
is marvellous when 1t Is considered that
each ant can do nothing more than merely
tear out small particle Of flesh and carry
it off Yet in a surprisingly short time
the writhing victim will have been chang
ed into a skeleton.
