tend to his bodily appearance that he
often kept his shoes, which were of
leather, on his feet Jtor several months
together."
In an old Saxon dialogue a shoomakcr
ays that he makes "swyfflers,
and leather hose."
In the Dialogues of Elfrlc, composed
to Instruct the Anglo-Saxon youth In
Latin, we find that the shoemaker hod
a comnrehenslve trade. "My craft la
very useful and necessary to you. I
buy hides and skins, and prepare them
by my art, and make of them shoes of
various kinds, and none of you enn
winter without my craft." Among the
articles h mentions ankle leathers,
shoes, leather hose, bridle thongs, trap
pings, leather bottles, flasks, halters,
pouches and wallets.
In 1090, in the reign of William Ru
fus, the great dandy Robert was called
the "horned," because he wore shoes
with long points, stuffed, turned up,
and twisted like horns. These shoes
became fashionable, and the toes con
tinued to Increase In 'extent until In
the time of Richard ll. in 1390 they
had attained such an enormous extent
as to be fastened to the garter by a
chain of silver or gold. The clergy de
claimed vehemently against this ex-
I traiagance; but the fashion continued
J tat several centuries.
This would Indicate the Elkhart and
Northern division of the road. On the
opposite side of the piece of metal
would be printed "H cord." When the
owner of the woodpile got a piece of
metal he would take It to the proper
official of the company and get his pay
at a rate which had been previously
agreed upon.
Is a Lobster a Fishf
One difficulty that has caused trouble
between the English and French gov
ernments for 200 years Is the question
whether th lobster Is a fish. The
treaty of Utrecht laid down the law as
regarda "fishing privileges," but Queen
Anne and Louis XIV. forgot to define
"fish." The new Anglo-French agree
ment settles the question by dodging It.
France renounces her privileges In
Newfoundland without pressing for a
definition of a lobster.

Kouropatkln's Character.
Doctor Morgenstern, one of the lead
Ing Russian specialists in medical
psychology, thus sums up the character
of General Kuropatkin: "Kuropatkln
kin is a man of extraordinary self
possession. He has no scruples about
reversing a partlcuar policy the mo
ment he Is convinced it is lmpracti
cable. He selects his officers only
after mature deliberation, but once he
has selected them he places entire con
fidence in them., His personal bravery
is phenomenal; he Is ambitious, a man
of large ideas, with the brains to ex
ecute them. He will give a patient
hearing to any suggestion made him
but acts entirely according to his own
convictions."
