PAIR OF LITTLE SHOES. .
Story Of LITTLE Georgia Lad Before
the War.

the War.
There is on exhibition in a shoe
store in Atlanta a pair of child's
shoes, placed there as curious COM
parison to the shoes turned out at the
present time. They were made by
farmer, in 1858. for baby boy,
then three years Of age, son of Mrs.
Mile B'chanan, CT Poycton, Ca, who
sewed tam up with squirrel skin
strings. The little boy was very
proud of the shoes, and toddled about
the place with them on, though they
were rather uncouth and sometimes
pinchod his toes.
But one day he fell i'll, and going
to his mother, said:
mamma, l feel so tired; l want
to lie down and rest on the cool porch.
Be sure and take care of my shoes
for me-"
He never wore the little shoes
again, for he died that night. With
many tears the mother one day
stuffed the home-knit stockings in
the little shoes and placed them in
the bottom of a cedar chest. There
they reposed until the other day,
when her nephew called on Mrs.
Buchanan, now woman of past 80
years with snow white hair, and in
talking of old times, requested to see
the little shoes again which he had
seen as child. She complied, and
brought them from the cedar chest
where they had lain undisturbed so
many years. Strange to say, the
stockings had long since moldened to
dust but the shoes were quite well
preserved and still have marks made
by the boyish feet that had worn
them in that long past time.
Had the little boy lived until now,
he would have been a man nearly 60
years of age, but the grass of many
summers has blossomed and faded on
his grave in the village burial ground
at Royston.

Eeathered Advisers.

A most remarkable superstition of
the Kenyahs Of Borneo is the CONSUL
tation of birds. If, for example, a
Kenyah has to undertake long jour-
ney he will not risk it without having
first consulted the "fakka," kind Of
hawk. If the hawk flies with its
wings spread out to the right side 1t
is good sign, but If it goes to the left
or flaps its wings, then the journey is
not commenced. Next day another
trial is made until the hawk gives the
sign wanted. Thus the continuation
Of the journey depends on the flight Of
the birds.

PACKING A TRUNK.
Here's the Way to Manage the Job to
Get the Best Results.


To pack trunk first collect every
thing that is to be put into it. Fold
everything as fiat as possible. Evening
dresses and fancy waists may be put
into thin pasteboard boxes, packed in
tissue paper and tied with tapes so
they won't slip around. These will go
on the bottom of the trunk.
Save all the oblong pieces of paper
that came home from the laundry In
the mems shirts and fold the shirt
waists around these. Use stockings
and things that win not wrinkle for
filling in the small spaces that will
happen, even with the most careful
packing. Put collars. belts aud ribbons
into small boxes.
Take folding hangers for dresses and
coats. Short lengths Of ribbon with
safety pin at one end and a brass ring
at the other take up no room at all in
trunk and will be useful for hanging
up skirts.
If you have no hat trunk and are
obliged to pack your hats in the tray.
fill the crowns with tissue paper. place
them in position and fasteu them there
with vile ban IS Of cotton tu, Q held tn
the size Of The trunk with thumb ii ks.
Keep always in mind THAT the more
tightly the things a"e pac.1pl IN the
fewer wrinkles you will iind at The en.l
Of the journey. provided that you have

''SaoS through 1t,

done credit to any railroad in tbe

an Official in the japanese ministry Of
communications, was amused at orr
expressions of delight.
'of course this is all very recent" he
explained. Forty Five years ago there
was not single car nor a single mil,
OF track in the whole of Japan. Whv-
ne laughed, Il can remember the first
Jerky little trains that were run on the
hrst line to be opened-the one be-
tween Tokyo and Yokohama. Glass
was new thing to the japanese. and
there were a great many windows
broken and heads bumped during those
nrst few weeks. Passengers persisted
IN trying to put out their heads with.

the glass smashing became so expen.
slve and there were so many com.
paints over bruised and cut heads
mat the company was forced to paint
a white bar on every window to teach
passengers the nature of glass"
Which story we could appreciate, for
we had already noticed in the corner of
a railroad yard little old car with
white bars painted across the win,

panions told us. ore still used as third
class conveyances on newly opened
branch lines, for there are still parts
OF Japan where the people do not quite
understand glass.-Christian Herald.
