sboemakers Once We're wen Paid.

Thirty years ago, when all SHOES
were made by hand, the shoemaker
earned a fair salary of from Sl2 to
SIG per week. Every shoe shop had
from five to ten shoemakers working.
Shoes and boots cost from IS to SIS,
and they received much more repair
ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now
girls are working in the factories and
hundreds of good shoemakers are look
ing for something TO eat. Over half
of the shoemakers who formerly
worked in the shops are working at
other lines of business, and making
more money.
A journeyman cobbler seldom makes
more than IS or 50 per week.
One may wonder why it is that the
cobbler nearly always finds mean,
dirty hole to crawl into and to call
it a repair shop. The fact is, he can
not afford to pay much rent. In the
average shoe shop in the good seasons
spring and summer-he can do 81
worth of repairing a day, and not
more than Sc If he works in the night
time. Four dollars per day and six
days a week make 1924 per week.

PIETY AND poUeHNUTs.

A baker in a town near Boston has
asked for a license to sing in the
streets. He peddles doughnuts, and e
hymn goes with every one. Certainly.
he ought to be allowed to sing as
much as he and his customers like.
For his object is to evangelize the com
munity, and when he is about to de
liver doughnut he delivers a short
talk on the need OF salvation and q
stanza OF some uplifting verse. II
should go without saying that he is
conscientious baker and gives fun
weight and plenty of sugar; that he
does not fry his products in rancid
lard. or dust it with whitewash. or pu.

them by the peck. leaving the gnarly
nubbins at the bottom of the measure,
Therefore. he predisposes the recipient
to thankfulness and sanctity, and no
body on his beat has any objection To
mixing dough and religion. 1t might
be well if the custom could extend II
self. II Mr.. Rockefeller would only
sing hymns as he draws oil for his
customers. Instead of preserving the
hymns for Sunday, and If Mr.. Carnegie
would accompany the hammering OF
plates with gleeful hallelujahs, there
might be less feeling against the

would go about his work with psalm

The twelve-inch well the Sonora

artesian flow which is remarkable. At
a depth of 100 feet the water gushed
to the height of eight feet above the

depth of $50 feet and the flow in

The new well will supply water for

An interesting theory of the mech
anism by which the direction of Incl
dent light is perceived by plants has
been put forward by G. Netherlands. a
German botanist. He believes that
the epidermic cells are, so to speak,
the eyes of the plant. Thus. accord
ing to his view, when light strikes a
leaf at right angles to the surface it
results from the plano-convex form of
the epidermic cells, that the inner
wall of each cell is illuminated more
brightly in the center than at the peri
phery. This makes it possible for the
leaf to orientate itself in regard TO
light. Thus. suppose the plant to be
moved so that the light now strikes
the leaf ohliquely, the bright patches
Ct light on the inner cell walls will no
longer be central. This change may
be believed to constitute stimulus
calling forth a curvature of the leaf
stalk by which the leaf is brought
again to its normal position at right
angles TO the incident light. Thus
the leaf moves when the bright patch
is not central and comes to rest when
each of its epidermic cells is centrally
