Our First Shoemakers,

The great American industry of shoe manufacturing, which now amounts to $500. 100000 annually, appears to have had its beginning in Salem, Mass, when Thomas Beard and Isaac Rick erman, the first shoemakers of record in this land. settled there after the Mayflower had brought them over on her second voyage. They were ad- judged so valuable an addition to the little colony that the selectmen voted to furnish them board and house room free. The .shoemakers who first came to this country were most welcome men, for in the earliest settlements of New England boots and shoes were altogether an imported stock, and the rough land of the new country wore out even the strongest boots in short order. The growth of the shoe indus try in the United States has kept pace with other lines of manufacture, and America manufactures the best shoes of any nation in the world.-New Or leans Picayune.

Art In.tincts # th. Japanese.


 Possibly the Greeks may have been endowed with universal instinct for art production and art appreciation, but certain it is that there iss other na- tion today living in which artistic taste and aptitude are more generally diff fused than in Japan. Not only are the comlnonest kitchen utensils molded into forms of exquisite beauty by Japa- nese artisans, but 1t is also very un, usual to find even a coolie who is not in some way a capable artist. To this so competent an authority as Professor Chamberlin bears testimony in saying that 1t Is to the common people that the foreigner in Japan must go for those lessons in proportion, fitness and sobriety which Greece once knew so well. Do you want flowers arranged Ask your house coOlie to arrange them. Is something wrong in the laying out of your garden? Call in the cook or the Washerwoman as counselor. 1t makes little difference whom you con- suit. so universal is the development of the art instinct among the common people throughout the entire empire.- Arthur May Knapp in Atlantic.

parfect Chronometera.

The French watchmaker, notwith-
 standing years of trial, is not yet able to rival the Swiss, nor is he able to
 manufacture chrOnometers equal to those made in Geneva. The chrono- metrical observatory of Besancon has interesting records on this subject. This observatory subjected watches to severe tests under a great variety of conditions before formulating the rule that a watch to be perfect must meet with not less than 300 requirements. Judging by this hard and fast rule, there are no perfect watches in the world, yet certain pocket chronometers have covered over 2G3 of the points laid down by the observatory.+Harp "
