Two inventors are claiming attention Of
the scientific world just now in connec-
ton with a kind of aquatic shoes. Jose
Antonio. a Mexican student in the depart
ment of mechanical engineering at Cor
nell. gave a successful test of his device
by walking a mile and a half on the sur
face of Cayuga lake. The shoes, which
closely resemble small boats, are con-
structed of tin, 5 feet 3 inches long. ii
inches wide and 9A inches deep. Each
contains four separate air chambers, be-
sides the compartment for the foot! The
shoes are equipped with collapsible fans,
which close as the wearer steps forward
and then open to prevent the shoes from
slipping backward.
4 somewhat similar footgear for water
walking is described in the Technical
World Magazine for August, and credited
to Lieut.. Arthur T. Sadler of the United
States volunteer life-saving crew at
Charlesbank, Mass. Sadler claims to have
made a two-mile trip on his shoes. He
says he got his idea from watching the
way a duck uses it's feet. His shoes are
4 feet 3 inches long. 8 inches wide and
S1s inches deep, being the smallest that
would carry his weight, 135 pounds.

IT Is a curious fact that every book
written on lawn tennis cautions the
player to keep his eyes on the ball at
the moment of striking 1t. yet there are
very few expert players who do SO.
A rifle shot looks at his target, a bowl.
er looks at the pins, and a billiard
player generally looks at the object ball,
not the cue ball. l have found 1t next

with most other players to o up in

NEW MEAT INSPECTION LAW.

store Confidence in Our Products.
After the first day of October next
every piece of meat which leaves a pack
ing house or slaughter house will bear a
brand or label marked II. $. inspected
and passed" And according to rrgula-
tions which were issued by the Secretary
of Agriculture the other day this brand
or label will be a notification to the world
that the United States absolutely suaran-
tees, under its official seal, that the pro-
duct is clean, wholesome, and that 1t was
packed and slaughtered under the most
careful sanitary conditions which the In
genuity of man can devise.
According to the census reports of the
year 1901 there were 800 packing plants
in the United States. The total capital
invested in the industry was S23I,6 3'.44O,
and the value of the annual product of
these establishments reached the enormous
total of S9l3.o14.G24. OF course this in
c'uded a great many small establishments
which are not affected by the WalSWorth-
Bnvaridge law, and the Secretary OF Az
r.rultlre is not prepared to say at present
JUS. how many of these plants Will be sub
Jrrt - government inspection, but the
secretary does say. and he says Il with a
-rrAt deal Of emphasis, that no establish
unrut which fails to provide itsIf with
government inspectors will be permitted
10 ship a ham. a quarter of beef or a can
u goods, in which meat enters as Il com
ypnent part. to any place outside the
State in which the establishment is unless
il first provides for government inspec-
ZION.
The new law will be put into full force
and effect on the first day of next Octo-
Der. On that day every ham, every side
of beef, every strip of bacon, every can
of lard, every package of meat food pro
ducts, in fact, every particle of food of
which meat forms a part. whether in a
barrel, box, can or canvas sack, or in any
receptacle or container. or loose, must
bear a government stamp before a railroad
company will accept it for shipment to a
point outside the State in which it was
prepared.

Though Without Feline Guardians,
1t Has Few Rats and Mice.
James ii. Nally, a salesman for n
New York shoe house, had trouble about
sleeping at the Browne hotel in Denver
sought the chief clerk, C. II. Churchill,
and registered a complaint.
"A cat in the alley across the street
kept me awake" said Mr.. Nally. You'll
either have to guarantee that the cas-
will be kept out of hat alley tonight or
change my room. l must have sleep, CT
! cannot work.
Clerk Churchill smiled.
That's the first complaint of its kind
I've ever heard here he said. '.rhere
are comparatively few cats in Denver.
but if you would live absolutely without
any chance of being Weakened by cats
you should move up to Leadville."
"Leadvil!e? Why?" asked Nally.
Because" replied the clerk, Lead
vile has no cats. They cannot live
there. Too much altitude, as we say
around here"
And such is the case. Leadvllle prob
ably hasn't Il single cat. Cats have been
taken there many times, but they have
invariably succumbed to the effects of
the high altitude. Leadville Is 11,40O
feet above the sea level.
The cats that have been taken to
Leadville have all died of a form Of
pneumonia. At first they enjoy the air.
or seem to. but they gradually become
weak and finally catch cold. It's nine
lives then avail the cat nothing. All The
lives go out at once.
About a year ago the family of Henry
Blaine moved from Denver to Lead
vile. taking along a cat and three kit
tens The old cat died within a month
after it reached the mining town, but
the kittens lived until they were six
months old, and then went the way Of
their mother. -
The little Blaines took the loss CT
their kittens so much to heart that Their
father brought two mor from Denver
for them. These kittens lived less than
three months. The Blaines then gave
up trying to have cats as pets.
Although Leadville has no cats, 1t has
few mice and rats. Only the most har-
dy of rodents can live there, and then
they must live under the ground most

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

-
No Medicine SO Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.
Lying awake nights makes 1t hard to
keep awake and do things in daytime.
To take 'tonics and stimulants' under
such circumstances is like setting The
house on fire to see IL you can put 1t
out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years I had been a
great sufferer from indigestion. After
trying several kinds of medicine, the
doctor would ask me to drop off pota-
toes, then meat, and so on, but in a few
days that craving, gnawing feeling
would start up, and l would vomit ev-
erything I ate and drank.
when 1 started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped, and the bloating feeling
which was 50 distressing disappeared
entirely.
MY mother was very much bothered
with diarrhea before commencing the
G~rape-Nuts, because her stomach was
SO weak she could not digest her f~od.
Since using Grape-Nuts she is we'll, md
say she don't think she could live with
out It
ut is a great brain restorer and nerve
builder, for I can sleep al sound and
undisturbed after a supper Of Grape
Nuts as In the old days when l could
not realize what they meant by a bad
stomach There Is no medicine so ben
e1cial to nerves and brain as a good
nights sleep, such as you can enjoy
after eating Grape-Nuts."

The bureau of labor has issued statis-
tics for 1905. and estimates that the la
boring man is better off as to wages and
hours of labor. In 1905 the purchasing
power of wages was 1 per cent higher
than in 1904 and the retail prices of food
were slightly higher. This advantage was
more than Offset. however, by the increase
in the purchasing power of his wages.
The average wages per hour in 1905 were
$50 per cent higher than the average
period from 1895 to 1899, and the num-
bcr Of employees were SO per cent greater.
The total amount of the pay rolls was
52.3 per cent higher in 1905 than the pre-
ceding ten-year average. At the same
time the purchasing power Of average
wages in 1905 was greater than in any
other year..

CHAPTER XIII.

Autumn came with It's golden wheat,
its ripe fruit, its gorgeous beauty OF
coloring. The spirit Of improvement
was at work at Ravensmere already
the obnoxious cottages had disappeared,
and in their places clean, healthy, we'll
drained dwelling buses were %springinS
up. Lady Caraven worked hard, allow
ing herself little rest, and the earl was
filled with wonder at her systematic
method.
They worked together. She made
their duties so pleasant to him hat he
would not for the world have renowned
them. Husband and wife became, as
the earl said, good companions, good
friends. They had many interests now
in common-the improvement Of the es-
tate. the building OF model cottages. the
education of the young, the relief Of the
aged and distressed. With a thought
full look In his blue eyes the earl would
sometimes say to his wife:
II cannot imagine why | thought all
his so tircsome before, or what gives
me so much pleasure to do it now
No one was more gratifed than Sir
RaOul. He eXulted in the fact that his
predictions were fulfilled.
Il always thought a good woman's
influence ~boundless." he said "and now
| am sure OF it,
One day after luncheon, when some
visitors were staying with them, the
conversation turned on a certain Lady
Hamilton, who had just returned. 4
widow, from India.
Lady Hamilton was one Of your
early loves, Uric, was she not?" said
Sir Raoul, laughingly.
II suppose sO," replied the earl, care
lessly. Il had n great many early
loves, If one may believe all the stories
told. DO you know what my opinion
is?'
NO answered Sir Raoul, II do not"
II do not believe that / have ever
loved at all-that is. using the word
love in its best and highest sense"
Then it is for want of appreciation"
said Sir RaOul. curtly.
Neither of them knew that IIildred
had overheard the few chance words,
but they had pierced her heart as with
Il ~two-cdged sword.
ITO be continued
