Squeaky Shoes.

While conducting a research for in
formation on the origin of certain fash
ions of the past" writes Zim in the Car
toons Magazine, Il discovered the rea-
o for the existence of the squeak in
shoes. The squeak was once deemed
fashionable, and men of great impor-
lance in the affairs of the country de-
manded it in their footwear. and cob.
blers were paid 2 shillings extra for
putting it in. The squeak boot denoted
the approach Of some one of impor.
lance, aud the way was made clear at
once in the same manner as a bicy-
cler's shrill whistle warns you to look
to your interests. During the squeaky
period men found 1t difficult to sneak
into the house after Il p. m. without
being discovered and disgraced. Re-
moving the shoes before entering the
house is an invention which followed
the squeaky shoe era. and. while the
former is now almost absolute, the lat
ter is still in vogue and as popular as
ever with married men,"

asked the hand of his daughter in mar
riage. Macmillan said that as he es-
teemed them both alike it was impos-
sible to choose between them and
therefore their own prowess must de-
eide it: but. being unwilling to risk the
loss OF either by engaging them in
deadly combat, he ordered a large sack
to be brought and declared that he who
should put his rival into it should have
his fair Helena. And this whimsical
combat was actually performed in the
presence of the imperial court and
lasted an hour. The unhappy Spanish
nobleman was first overcome. and the
German succeeded in e%nveloping him
in the sack. putting him upon his back
and laying him at the emperor's feet.
This comical combat is said to be the
origin of the phrase Give him the
sack" so ommon in the literature of
counting.
