Shoes for Soldiers.

Contracts have just been made by
The war department for about $1,000
600 worth of shoes for Uncle Sans
soldiers. Nearly 100000 pairs OF shoes
are required, and the contracts have
been divided among five firms at an
average price of So pair. These are
the first contracts to be placed for
the special shoes designed by the
army board of experts, of which Ma
Tor Edward L. Munson of the medical
corps was chairman. The military
authorities claim that the new regu-
iation army shoes meet all the re-
uuirements of the service to a greater
degree than any shoe ever used in
this country or abroad.

DRIED POTATOES FOR CATTLE

Germany is evolving an ever-in-
creasing number of potato products,
and thus rapidly solving the problem
OF disposing of the once enormous
surplus of this crop. A number OF
establishments in that country are
now turning out quantities of dried
potatoes. in various forms, for use in
feeding cattle. According to a recent
report, dried potatoes do not cause
the form of sickness that results from
a diet of raw potatoes. Moreover, raw
potatoes can be preserved for only q
limited time, when to boil the pota-
toes would impose upon the stock
raiser more expense than the circum-
stances justify. Official tests have
proved that the one-third of strength
ening food generally given to horses
in the form of grain could be replaced
by dried potatoes.

MAKING THE TIDES WORK

The finest grindstones in the world
came from the bottom of the Bay of
Fundy. The manner in which they
are produced is simple and ingenious,
the stonecutters make the exceptional
tides perform the hardest part of the
work. When the tide is out, which
happens twice a day, the workmen
quarry the stones from the hatboat
Then in comes the tide, rising often
as high as a house. And now the men
have nothing to do. The tide lifts the
boat. and up comes the stone with it.
Boat and stone are then brought close
inshore, where the stone is removed
at leisure when the tide is out.

NAP THAT LASTED 80 YEARS

There are many cases on record Of
people remaining in a sleep-like trance
for several years. these frances being

The sleeper of Okuo was born i'll

OF her life she was strong and healthy
She did not so TO work till iust before
her fourteenth birthday. One day she
came home complaining of toothache
and went to bed. Soon afterwards
she fell into a deep trance. which

OF 30 years

Aldonduin Park.

BY recent order-in-council of the
provincial government Of Ontario, the
home of the Algonquin National Park
of Ontario has been changed to Al

Is one of the widest and most fasci-

in Canada.
The park is situated at an altitude
of 1000 feet above sea level and Gov
ers an area of 1,344,000 acres, or ap-
proximately 2,100 square miles. The
railway is the only rapid transports'
ton reaching this district, which IN

one of the most attractive winter re.
sorts in America. The hotel has nov

HAIRLESS DOG or MEXICO.

Down in Mexico there is found a
species of dog that is absolutely hair
less excepting for small patch of
stiff hair growing at the top Of his
head. They are usually about the size
OF q medium-siZed fox terrier, are good
watchdogs. and have bad tempers, es-
pecially as they grow old. They re-
sent being touched, yet they are af-
fectionate, and will protect to the
last ditch anyone they care for.
One good point is they do not snap
at people, but growl chestily, giving
due warning that one must attend to
ones own affairs.
Legend says that the great Aztec
chief, MonteZuma, had one of these
hairless dogs, and that until Monte
yuma comes again to earth some few
of this species will still wander, await
ing their chief. They certainly re-
semble the typical Indian characters
in tenacity of purpose.

QUEER ISLE OF MAN LAWS

The Isle Of Man presents many Gu
rious features. none of which is more
curious than it's laws. For instance,
the legislature is called the house OF
keys and was in other times judi
cial body charged with the duty OF In
terpreting the laws. Any person so
bold as to SANDER this house of keys
was liable not only to fine in the
amount of $50, but to the loss of both
his ears.
Two deemsters We're once appointed
TO execute the laws, which before the
year 1417 were uncodified, and these
were known as breast laws. for the
reason that they were impaired to the
deemsters in secret. TO be kept by
them within the secrecy of their
own breasts as long as they chose. or
during their whole service, though
they were authorized to impart and eX-
plain to the populace as much Of these
special laws as should at any time
seem wise and expedient.
Certain of the ManX laws, as set
down after the codification. are ex.
tremely quaint. Here are two ex'
tracts from the Manx legal rulings:
If a man steal a horse or an OK it
is no felony. for the offender cannot
hide them; but if he steal a capon Or
a pig he shall be hanged"
I'm case of theft. if it amounts to
the value of six pence halfpenny IL
shall be felony, and death to the Of
fender: and under the value to be
whipped or set upon a wooden horse
which shall be provided for such Of
fenders.''
The arms of the Isle Of Man, which
though it may sound hke an Irish bull
to say so, are legs-three legs bent
at the knee and apparently kicking
outward from common center in the
midst of shield-have provoked a
number OF jocular descriptions, OF
which the best declares that one leg
spurns Ireland, one kicks at Scotland,
and the third kneels to England.
On July ) OF every year the laws OF
the Isle of Man are still read aloud to
the assembled people from the top of
TynwaId hill This is the most inter
esting and ahchaic ceremony observed
today III Europe,
