The genius tramp is composed of three classes of individuals: Men who are idle from t - <-ssity. others -and they constitute a large majority—who are idle from choice, would not work if they could, and still others who are roving criminals.

THE SCHOOLGIRL'S BOOTS. to t'ornfiirt The boot that • < u I fitted to the foot is well made. Then arc just two kinds of boots. The ready-made boot luu the l>oot that is made to orjlrr. Show n in the shop windows are shoes all of the same shape, yet no two persons have feet alike, hence the more often foot wear is made to order the better. The i first thing to do is to examine the foot ' without a l>oot. If it is a natural foot, and the second toe is longer than the great one, it is possible to experience some comfort in wearing a ready-made boot, but the greatest care should lw taken to insure it« fitting snugly to the instep, and to see that the toes are in their natural position. The round-toed shoe is l>etter than either the ¡minted or the. common sen se’ shoe. The natural shajie of the foot is near ly straight, with the second toe a bit in advance of the great, one, and a round ing decrease in the length of each of the other three. Now the fashion of the. pointed toe, with its right angles from the great toe joint to the tip, is going to bring about an abnormal position of the foot by crowding the first two over and up on the others, which soon distorts the muscles and l>ones and causes great dis comfort. The. round toe. which in the well- made boot follows closely the outline of th« foot, is much more nha|>ely to look . upon, and is really more sensible than the so-called common-sense shoe. The boot top should be high for wintry weather and rainy days. For walking and general wear the dongola kid is the best, and next comes the, light-weight caJf. It is well to have the up|»ers of a soft, and less heavy quality than the vamping. It makes movement more easy and fits more |>er fectly. Choose a boot made wholly in one leather rather than one with the [Mitent leather trimmings The patent leather will wear out first and look untidy. No loot is wearable that is not han<l- sewed. Examine closely the stitching to see that it joins well, and that the strip of leather up the back ¡«straight. The soles should be thick for street, and school wear, with inners of cork, so as to do sway as far as {»ossible with the rubber or overshoe, which at lost are most unwholesome. They allow of no ventilation whatever, and bring about a pro<*eHs of cooking which, when the feet are not in motion to keep up the circulation, proves thoroughly un healthy. The heel should be rather large. liegilining nt the end of the l»or»t and coming well under the foot. To keep a boot leather in proper condition it should l>e frequently rubbed with some soft boot cream; while polishes of all kind* should be abolished. N. Y. Journal. UP. LONDON’S MUTTON.

London will shortly have the advan tage of another meat supply this time from Norway w hich is perfecting ai rangern •nts for supplying the Eng lish metropolis with as much mutton, alive and dead, as it can spare for ex portation. Systematic experiments were made recently, says the London Telegraph, under the supervision of the Stavanger Agricultural society, and the results were so satisfactory that in the appr»>aching cold season it is to l»e repeated on a larger scale. It appears that eighty sheep, each weigh ing about 100 pounds, were fattened for a week or so until they turned the scale at from 115 pounds to 123 pounds They were then shipped to London, where they realised an average price, after deducting commission, of 3*M 9d, and as the total outlay had been only 2*41 >1 per head there was a net profit of 3s Sd on each animal Forty were als^) sent over, with the skins, luxifs and interior» intact, but on these there was an average loss of 10» per head, partly explained by the skins being damaged thr<jugh bad packing Nev- ertheless the Stavanger society have come to the conclusion that the busi ness promises to be remunerative, and the English people have thus an addi tional guarantee of an adequate supply of mutton Kl*h Art Foater« in Fari«.

FLOAT HOME FROM SCHOOL. n«»>« and Girl« < Inmbrr Into Pant« and Fol«* ll«»mr. Tipping Pullman Porter«. A significant, not to sav a startling, feature of the business situation, as re ported recently, is found in a petition of the Pullman palace car porters in the East to employing railroad companies, that have heretofore permitted them to enjoy (he t.ps ot the traveling public, merely nominal salaries. This ia*tition sets forth, ruefully but distinctly, the fact, grievous to the porters, that the day of the tips is practically past. Time was when “gvmman" could live well and lay up something on the fees awarded for as siduous attention to the comfort of trav elers; when the shoe brush and whisk broom deftly wielded, pillows obsequi ously placed, tables provided whereon to spread the ubiquitous luncheon, etc., etc., were the promoters ot prosperity to the palace-car porter. Now, however, and for some time past, the most prodi gal travelers liquidate these claims with dimes, while many seem to think they have suthciently paid their traveling ex* m uses in the purchase of railroad and Pullman-car tickets and in meeting din ing-car charges, without helping railroad companies to pay iow w ages to a necessa ry ami faithful class of employes. This being true, a body of porters respectful ly represent that they need wages enough to sustain life, and ask their employers to furnish them. l'he unwritten law which requires the traveling public to tip the Pullman por ter has been for years extremely ai bitra- ry in its sway. Its penalty is discomfort and neglect, which no traveler cares to bring upon himself. Though it cannot be said to be or ever to have been a pop ular law or one founded in justice, the American public, proverbial lor its ease loving and goo»! nature, has given it. in the main smiling allegiance. lint. it. is plain from this showing that the blight of hard times has fallen upon this law, and a revolution in the domain of tips has resulted. The fact upon which this petition is based —the failing oil’of sup ply from the source—indicates that the powers may depend upon strong public support in the very reasonable demand that they have made for living wages. There is a compelling power behind this support in the ability to continue to withhold tips. If this stand becomes general and is pro|»vrly maintained, rail road companies must pay wages or go without porters, since clearly these in dividuals cannot live on air. Truly the hard times have not been in vain if they have induced an indulgent public to lieard the tip in its den, with a fair pros pect of coming otr conqueror in the con flict.—Oregonian.
