Plea For the Wooden Shoe.

1--WE have wisely taken to wearing
sandals" says a Philadelphia physi-
clan. Il hope that before long we will
learn the advantage of the wooden
shoe, or SahOt. DO you know that Il
great many diseases are due to leather
shoes due to the wearing all day long
of tight leather that is often. in bad
weather, water soaked? And do you
know that by the wearing of wooden
shoes. which keep the feet dry and
which do not draw al! those diseases
might be avoided? have several
pairs of sabots. and so have my wife
and children. They cost about 30
cents Il pair and keep the feet dry.
without cramping them or making
them unhealthy tender. | believe that
the wisost thing Americans could do
would be to take up the sandal and
the Sahot, discardng altogether the
shoe of leather"

1t Made History,

Such a slight circumstance as a glass
Of wine changed the history Of France
for nearly twenty years. Louis Phi
lippe, king Of the French, had n son,
the Duke of Orleans, and heir TO the
throne, who always drank only GER
tain number Of glasses of wine, be-
cause even one more made him tipsy.
On a memorable morning he forgot to
count the number of his glasses and
took one more than usual. When en-
terng his carriage. he stumbled, fright
cning the horses and causing them to
run. In attempting to leap from the
carriage his head struck the pavement,
and he soon died. That glass of wine

Won MOltke's simplicity.

Once while travelling General Moltke
entered small Swiss hotel. and as the
head waiter saw his gaunt figure stalk
ing in, wrapped in a worn out, dusty
cloak, carrying an old leather satchel,
he measured his wealth by his looks
and ordered his assistant to show him
to small room in the uppermost story.
AS he was making himself comfort.
able in the attic another assistant came
as is customary there. to ask the silent
stranger his name and rank.
The consequence was that few min

appeared at the door of the attic to in

had just been vacated.
Give that to my servant replied
Moltkc. when he comes with my car

TILT: VUU4~K TANK.
Ehis Lonthxorse Spot Is One of the
SIGHTS Of India.

Nhts LOnthSorsc Spot IL One OF the
Sights of India.
One of the inl' ,nerable curious sights
OF India is the Nuggar tank of Kura-
chi. In former times the crocodiles
which inhabit it roamed the neighbor-
hood at their will, seeking whom they
might devOur, but so great were their
depredations that the authorities were
forced to build wall round their
haunt. This is a swamp, caused by
hot springs, the medicinal virtues of
which have been known from early
times and are attributed to the sanctity
of MOhammedan whose tomb is close
by and to whom the crocodiles are sa-
cred.
The tank, as it is called, is about $50
yards long by about half that dis
lance in breadth. In this space one
observer counted over 200 reptiles from
eight to fifteen feet long and smaller
ones innumerable. They are so tame,
In sense, that it is necessary to poke
them with stick before they will
move.
Buffaloes are always standing in the
water and are not attacked, but any
other animal is instantly seized. 1.-The
whole appearance Of the place." says
one writer, with it's green, Shiny,
stagnant water and so many Of these
huge, uncouth monsters moving slug
gishly about, is disgusting in the ex-
IRENE, and it will long be remembered
by me as the most loathsome spot
ever beheld. "-Chambers' Journal.

THE MATRON'S SPEECH.
El0quence That Qaelled q Riot In .
Military Hospital.


In the "AIemories of a Hospital Ma
tron'' writer in the Atlantic Monthly,
who was head of Confederate hos
pital during the war, relates this ex-
citing incident:
"Our steward, meek little man
came to me one day, pale with fright,
and said that the convalescents had
stormed the bakery. taken out the half
cooked bread and scattered it about
the yard beaten the baker and threat
ened to hang the steward. l hurried
to the scene to throw myself into the
breach before the surgeon should ar
rive with the guard and arrest the Of
tenders. l found the new bakery lev
eled to the ground and 200 excited
men clamoring for the bread which,
they declared, the steward withheld
from them from meanncsS or stole for
his own benefit.
"'And what do you say of the ma
iron? | asked, rushing among them.
DO you think that she, through whose
hands the bread must pass, is a party
to the theft? Do you accuse me, who
have nursed you through months of
illness, making you chicken soup when
we had not seen a chicken for year,
forcing an old breastbone to do duty
for months for those unreasonable fell
lows who wanted to see the chicken;
me, who gave you greater variety in
peas than was ever known before and
, who lately stewed your rats when the
cook refused to touch them? And this
is your gratitude! You tear down my
bakehouse, beat my baker and want
to hang my steward"
ITO my surprise the angry men
laughed and cheered. A few days later
there, came to me committee Of
two sheepish looking fellows to ask
my acceptance Of a ring. Each Of the
poor men had subscribed something
from his pittance, and their old enc
my, the steward, had been sent to town
to make the purchase. Accompanying
the ring was bit Of dirty paper on
which was written, For our chief ma
iron, in honor of her brave conduct on
/ the day of the bread riot"

Colonel Ochtltree B1de0 HIS Time
and Carried on the Honors.
General Grant was Il great admirer
of Colonel Thomas Ochiltree and made
many of the men of Galveston bit
jealous. AS a result they once planned
an incident whereby they would hui
initiate Ochiltree Grant was to stop
at Galveston after his trip to South
America, and the committee did not
put Ochiltree's name on the list of dis
tinguished men to meet him.
Ochiltree bided his time, as he was
never known to complain. and did not
Grant. He took vantage point in the
crowd that filled the streets in front of
the fremont House. He was behind
two rows Of celebrities who were doing
guard duty along the edges Of n Grim
son carpet which ran from the hotel
steps to the curb. The reception COM
mittee. or part Of it. was standing in
the hotel door, waiting to give the gen.
eral the gladstone hand.
Ochiltree watched until the general
and Mrs. Grant had stepped from the
carriage. and then he bulged through
the line He rushed down the crimson
carpet, shook heartily the hand Of his
old friend and. Offering his arm to
Mrs. Grant, marched proudly through
the rank and file of the leading citizens
into the hotel. The mob outside de-
manded speech from the general,
and. constituting himself a committee
of one, Colonel Ochiltree appeared with
him in the hotel balcony and intro
duced Grant as one of his best, trucst
and bravest friends. This was the last
time the men in Galveston tried to
snub him ut Il social function.

How Northern Indians Secure ven1.

A New Yorker who lives small frac-
ton of the time in the city, being usual
" long distances away in pursuit OF
game, tells Of the method pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in tax
Ing deer. They have evolved a system.
this huntsman says. that shows prac-
teal skill and sympathy and knowledge
Of natural conditions. He says:
1.-THE Indians, to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They 60 for deer as housekeeper goes
to market for beef, and, what's more
In British Columbia. at any rate-they
don't go often. Salmon is plentiful in
the rivers and is easily caught, so why
chase animals when they can secure
fish? 1t is something as it is in New
foundland. where l went couple of
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish,
as you might say, is cod, and. though
there is no end to the variety Of edible
fish that can be taken, the natives new
er think of eating anything else. Cod
is PLENTIFUL and they form the habit,
suppose. This is so ingrained that they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus is
divided into cod and the rest of fish.
"Well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for venison, he
goes at it Systematically and without
sentiment. A group of half dozen or
ten men split and take either end of a
valley. Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side of the valley Oh which the deer
seek to escape the wind. Each party
covers the mountain side. some near the
foot and some at the top and others be-
tween the lines, keeping abreast by an
initiated owl boot. The deer. on wind
ing pursuit, have the trick Of leaping
away down the slope. unlike the goats,
which go up. and thus between the two
approaching parties they are swept to-
gether at the middle of the valley. A
good sized herd will thus be killed off
and the Indians supplied for many
weeks by two or three days exertion."

Among the Baralongs, q great Afri-
can people, iron is sacred object. They
are expert workers in metal, which they
still Smelt from it's native ore by the
most primitive methods ever devised by
man. This art was to them in former
days a source of wealth, influence and
power, and the legend is that when
people did not know the value Of the
stones found in their brooks q wise
man" saw a vision. The spirit of his
chief stood beside him and said, Cath
er stones and burn them to make
spears" The sage thought it was a
dream and that the chief was hungry,
so he sacrificed an OK. But the vision
returned, and the chief looked sorrow
full. He stood long time and at last
said:
my son, why do you not obey your
father? Go to the river, gather stones
and make hot fire. After that you
will see iron with your eyes"
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not re-
fuse. When he had made a hot fire,
iron came out of it, and then he knew
the chief had taken pity on his chill
dren. He told his son the secret before
he died, but he was a vain coxcomb
and, wishing to show his own wisdom,
made iron in the presence of strangers,
and so the secret of the art was lost to
his tribe, but they have always contin-
ued to regard iron as sacred above all
other metals.

The Press of Northwest Wis.

b. J. Price of the Hudson Star
Times read paper at the recent
Press Association meeting. Per
sonal Renaissance, involving his
own experience and reco1lections of
the brethren of the quill in north
west Wisconsin, constituted an i'm
portant feature of the essay. Mr..
Price took charge of the Star and
Times in 1879. Following is an ex-
cerpt of his address relating to
ne1ghborhood newspaper history.
George D. Cline was in 1879 as he
is still, publisher of the Hudson
True Republican. He, Chas. E.
Mears of the Osceo1a Press, c. R.
Morse of the River Falls Journal
and r. ]. Flint of the Dunn County
News, are about the only newspaper
propr1etors, in all northwest Wis
cons1n, whose active services ante
date my own. Governor Samuel S.
F1tleld, who began life editorial by
purchasing the Polk County Press
in December, 1861, and later found
ed the Ashland Press and exploited
the New Wisconsin" idea, still
keeps his Faber nimble by occa-
sional contributions to the local
papers, though not responsible for
the weekly pay roll nor the com
plexion of the office towel. His
brother, Henry O., also learned his
trade at Osceola.
H. A. Taylor's newspaper expert
ence began in the spring of 1857,
when In company with his talented
brother, the late Lutte A, TAYLOR,
he started the first River Falls
Journal. The paper was subse-
quently moved to Prescott and in
1868 sold to RI. Flint and E. H.
Weber. The plant burned in 1871,
when the subscription list went to
the Ellsworth Herald, now so sue
cesstully conducted by Eugene S.
Doollttle, under the editorial men
torship Of Hon. D. w. Woodwork.
Flint & Weber then went to Menom-
onle to begin their bright careers
at the head of the Dunn County
News. Never did Damon and Py-
th1as struggle along with more har-
mony than those two genial part.
ners, until Mr.. Weber responded
heroically to the final summons,
four or five years ago.
Taylor moved from River Falls
to Hudson in 1860, established the
Times and later secured control of
the Chronicle, founded in 1856.
About three years after he merged
with the North Star, then run by
S. A. Clewell, the present publisher
of the old Saltwater Messenger,
started way back in 1856. The
combine took the name of the Hud-
son Star and Times, which many
years later was hyphenated into
The Star Times, by your narrator
The older wing of the paper is en-
titled TO assume date from Novem-
Der, 1854, though for some cause
the numbering did not commence
until May of the next year. l state
these facts little infinitely because
the Star-Times is really the oldest
inhabitant" of northwest Wiscon-
sin, and one of the few surviving
pioneer newspapers Of the whole
state. It's existence is almost cock
tensive with that of the Wisconsin
Press Association.
