ABOUT SHOES.
Earliest Reference is Found in the Old
Testament.

Earliest Reference is Found in the Old
Testament.
What is regarded as the earliest ref
erence to shoes is found in the Old Tes-
lament, where Abraham refuses to take
as much as a shoe latchet from the
King of Sodom. Among the Jews the
shoe played an important part in many
social ueages. When buying or selling
land land 1t was customary to deliver
a shoe, and the act of throwing down
a shoe on territory implied occupancy,
The finding of candals on Egyptian
mummies proves that the wearing of
shoes is almost as old as the race it
self. In Venice in the seventeenth
century every lady of an pretention to
gashion or position wore what were
called "choppines," high clogs or pat
tens, to elevate them from the ground.
Thomas Coryat, a traveller who visited
Venice in 1911, says of them: "They
are so common in Venice that no wo-
man goeth without either in her house
or abroad. 1t is a thing made OF wood
and covered with leather in sundry col
ors, home white, some red, some yell
low. Many of them are curiously
painted; some, also, of them have 1
seen fairly gilt. There are many of
these chapineys of a great height
even half a yard high and by how
much the nobler a woman is, by so
much the higher are her chapineys.
All their gentlewonen, and most of
their wives and widows that are of any
wealth are assisted or supported either
by men or women when they walk
abroad, to the end that they may not

MeKINLEY,s BROTHER ARNER.

Miss Mabel Mckinley (Mrs. DR.. Baer)
Is having her OWL troubles in striving
to straighten out the ENHANCEMENT of
the estate of her deceased parent, Abb
ner Mckinley. As has already been
published, the brother of the late Pres
ident of the United States, although
supposed to be very wealthy man
indeed, left his affairs In most I'M
satisfactory safe, and it was only
through the kindness of Mr.. Fairbanks
now Vice President of this country,
that the Mckinley homestead was
saved to the survivors when a set
Element was effected. 1t is understood
that Miss Mckinley out of her large
earnings as a vaudeville singer has
been enabled to pay back to Mr.. Fair
banks the amount advanced to her
and is gradually cleaning up other in
debtednsSs in various directions. But
complications still exist and Mrs. Alb
ner Mckinley, who is executrix of the
estate, is prevented from crossing the
border of Pennsylvania by fear of law
suits. Thsse are not directed against
her personally, but as execurix. The
late Mr.. Mckinley was one of the most
optimistic men who ever lived and
he was perpetually on the verge of
making milliohs-or at least thought
he was. One evening he visited the
theatre with his family, accompanied
by Barney Myers, the vaudeville agent
who was booking the tour of Mabel
Mckinley. The party sat in a private
box, and during the evening Mr. Nc
Kinley confided to Myers the fixed be-
lisf that he would clean up a cool mil.
lion in the course of very few days
upon one of his many schemes. "As
soon as l get this money" declared
Abner, Il am going to erect a theatre
on Broadway for you to manage" It
is perhaps superfiuous to say that thu

SIMPLE LIVING.
How it May Best be Secured These
Modern DAYS.

How it May Best be Secured These
Modern Days.
From the days of Pythagoras there
have not been wanting advocates of a
life simpler than that led by the con-
temporaries of the reformers. From
the times of Essences, who drank no
wine and practised the greatest asceti-
oism in diet, to the present, with its
vegetarian associations, mankind has
been urged to give up the "fleshpots of
Egypt" and live upon herbs and fruit
and water from the spring. Whether
or not this doctrine has made fIbstan-
tial progress among the nations of the
world is doubtful; but to-day there is a
marked tendency to accept and live up
to this teaching on the part of many
leaders of thought and fashion.
We're this movement for simpler
life due to a mere love of novelty and
change, a pandering to a morbid crav-
ing for some new excitement, no words
could be too strong wherewith to con-
denim it. But we believe that there Is
a general wave of feeling for a more
ideal life, and strong reaction on the
part of many women against the arti-
ficialty of modern living. The life of
the ordinary woman of society, to say
nothing of the leaders thereof, is too
frequently such a round of engage
ments, of functions of social duties,
that, compared with the lives of many
women of the laboring classes, it is
very hard work. And even if the OBJ
ject be pleasure, the pursuing of 1t en-
tails a, great deal of trouble, work and
very often considerable personal sacri
flee. Moreover, the pursuit of pleasure,
when continuous, becomes simply an
other form of work, and the strain of it
on the body and mind is practically
just the same as if it were done for a
wage. Late hours. excitement, loss Of
sleep, improper food, irregular meals,

TROUBLE ALL AROUND.

In what part of poor old Russia isn't
there trouble? A correspondent of a
London newspaper writing from the
region of the Caucasus declares that
nowhere in the Cars dominions has
the process of enforced classification
done more mischief than it has there.
He says that the exceptional outbreaks
of racial animosity which recently turn
ed Baku, and to a lesser extent Erivan,
into shambles are attributed by the
Armenians largely to the campaign
which for many years has been carried
on against them by the government
press The strikes of railway and fac
tory hands, and even clerks and trades
men, which have taken place in the
towns arise from the same causes
which have produced similar demon
strations in all parts of European Rus
sia, and have been fomented and en-
couraged by the Socialist and revolu-
tionary organizations The agrarian
movement, which resulted in serious
outrages committed against the land
lords and the police throughout the
government of Kutais and Tiflis, the
territory of Batum, and the district of
Sukhum, is practically confined to the
Arnenians and Georgians, and origi-
mated at the time of the confiscation of
the property of the Armenian Church
following upon the decree of June %,
1903 1t is no longer denied by the
Arrnenians that their loyalty to Russia,
when they have regarded as their pro-
tcctor since the days of Peter the
Great, has been seriously shaken by
this act of open spoliation.

SOME dERMAN rHoRoUGHyEss.

The Germans are going at their colo
NAL work with their usual thorough
ness and skill. For some time there
has been a movement on foot in Ger
many to train up corps of efficient Of
f1cials for the colonial service. 1t is the
intention of the colonial administration
to put into practice an experimental
plan which promises in time to secure
important results. Ten young men are
to be carefully chosen and trained for
service in German East Africa. One of
the primary conditions of choice is an
elementary knowledge of the English
language. The candidates must be
graduates of a gymnasium. They must
be unmarried, exempt from military
duty, and not more than twenty-six
years old. When a candidate has been
chosen he must agree to remain in the
colonial service for ten years after the
completion of his training. This train
ing, which is undertaken at government
expense, consists in the beginning of
learning the routine work of the home
colonial office. None of these pupils
will be sent out to Southeast Africa un-
til they have completed their twenty
first year. They will then be placed in
the custom house at Dares-Salam in
order to get acquainted with the coun-
try and its native inhabitants. At the
end of two years time each pupil is
subjected to physical examination
which definitely decides whether he
shall remain in the colony or return
home. The salaries will be fixed at ST.
900 and $1,000, depending upon length
of servica.
1t is the determined purpose of the
German government and people to sue
coed in the work of colonization, and to
attain this end all the effective ma
chinery of science and education will be
engaged in the attempt. Such colonies
as are suitable will be settled by Ger

PROGRESS INP4N4M4.

While yellow fever seems TO be get
ting a good hold further north, we are
told, on the authority of prominent
official in the War department" that
the yellow fever situation on the 18TH
mus is much improved, and that there
is no doubt of the ultimate solution of
the health problem with which our rep
RS sentatives in Panama have been
struggling, some of the time with dis
couraging results, for the last year or
more. 1t is not necessary to conclude
that the canal zone is yet in an entirely
satisfactory sanitary condition in order
to admit that material improvement
has probably been wrought. The yell
low fever reports show that, whereas
there were seventy-two cases in June,
the number decreased to twenty-sight
in July, and one obvious reason for this
decrease is said to be the completion
and use of the new waterworks for
Panama city. 1t is also reported that
the American officers have been busily
engaged in screening. cleaning, drain
ing and taking other precautions
against disease, such as were employed
in Havana in 1898 and 1899, and if they
keep vigorously at this task there are
bound to be further good results.
Perhaps by and by good reports will
come from New Orleans too.

THE WONDERS OF THE STEINER
TONE PIANOFORTE.

Whenever there is a great con-
cert, the performer upon the piano. y
forte looks for the best instrument
that can be obtained, so as to do
this connection that we call the at
tention of the public to Mr.. August
Fraemcke's playing of the tremen-
dous and difficult List Hungarian
Fantasia, with full orchestral acr
compartment, which took place at
the Schiller performance a week
ago at the New Haven Opera house
before large audience The piano
used upon that occasion was again
a SteinertOne concert grand, be-
cause Mr.. Fraemcke has often play
ed that special make in his public
lyn, and he desired to again avail
himself of the tremendous tonal
powers of the SteanertOne piano.
His success was instantaneous, and
when the people left the hall they
carried with them to their homes
evoked from the SteinertOne grand.
No better proof as to the superior
ity of one piano over another can
be obtained than when that piano
is heard in large hall with an or
chestra of fifty men, and It still
keeps. up its characteristics as a
pianoforte,
The steinertone Company recon-
mends its Instruments to the pur-
chasing public as, the very best on
the market. A further demonstra-
ton of the foregoing claims by the
manufacturers is the invitation
which is cordially extended to all,
buyers or not, to examine and play
these instruments at the factory,
If accepted. There they can be seen
and heard under unpretentious con-
ditions in the warerooms, where
the assurance is given that these
instruments can be obtained at
very reasonable factory prices.
