ORIGIN Of Felt.

Many centuries ago poor monk
was compelled to travel upon long
ynd arduous journey. His road was
rocky. his sandals were worn. ana he
suffered sgonies as he trudged griinly
upon his holy errand. One day as he
sat by the wayside resting u sheep
came up to him. bleating in the most
friendly fashion. The good monk pet
ted the sheep and was grateful for Its
dumb friendliness. when suddenly he
had an inspiration. He took out ms
sheath knife. sheared two handouts OF
wool from the sheep and placed one
in the heel of either sandal That
afternoon as he trudged along his feet
seemed light. bis step sprinSy. The
wool took the jar from his Spite. the
impact OF the stony road from bis
aching. swollen feet.
The next morning as he started out
he thought to rearrange the wool pad
ding and discovered that the friction
and the movement of his feet In the
sandals had reduced the wool to sort
of cloth Thus was discovered felt.
which to this day is one Of the most
effective substances ever discovered
for padding purposes.
