CROPOOT, Manufacturers of MEN'S LIBBY-& CO., AND WOMEN'S FINE SHOES. We are prepared to supply a long-felt want, and for this shoe we claim it is the most SATISFACTORY, STYLISH AND ONLY PER FECT FITTING SHOE MADE. It fits on the foot like a glove on the hand. It is not cumbersome like the button shoe that has four or five thicknesses of leather over the instep, but tY' shoe has but one thickness and presents a seamless, glove-fitting front, comfortable to the foot and pleasing to the eye. This shoe differs materially from the "old side lace." That had from 18 to 24 eyelets, double cord, and pulled on sideways, while this shoe has but eight eyelets, pulls on straight and is held in place by a low gore, inserted on each side of the shoe, which is covered and protected by the top, and is adjusted to the ankle by lacing on the inside, giving to the foot a very slim and small appearing form. This shoe cannot break hi the bach and neither are you inconvenienced by constantly re-sewing buttons or repairing button holes. This shoe is being placed in all good towns, aud its success and popularity are assured. We feel confident if you will try a pair of these shoes you will not be satisfied with any others. "Would" be pleased to have you call and make a personal inspection of this shoe aud think it will interest you. Yours Respectfully. C. C. NOBLE, NORTH PLATTE. P. H.

M. S.f "it is seen that as animal and vegetable matter rots away, swarms of ferments come into existence. For example, in a drop water the flesh of a dead water flea was noticed in commotion while the writer was engaged on this paper. Thousands of U shaped vibrions were living upon it. All were in brisk motion, straighten ing and bending their bodies with whip nice hicks, inoy were a company o! scavengers, sweetening the water by a cnemical process necessary for their own nutrition. Our rivers and ponds would become factories of deadly poisons, and all tho earth's soil would be contami nated, if inexpressible myriads of mi nuto plants and animals did not attack ,dead organic matter and cause its ele ments to enter into now and useful com binations. If wo find thousands of such littlo ferments at work upon a fragment no uiggor than a lull utop.of this print, what must bo tho numbers in operation whfcn tons upon' tons, are dealt with in tho contents of our sewers, in the ma nures wo put on our fields, and in the vast, multitudes of human and other bodies that perish on land or in sear" Now York Telegram. Too Modest to Be Honest. "Are you the editor of the paper?" "I am. What can I do for you?" "Well, I just thought I'd step up and see how you are. My wife and I are going to Capo May to-morrow." "Indeed?" "Yes; but I wouldn't have anything said about it in print, of course. My name is Simpkins Azariah Simpkins." "Glad to meet you, Mr. Simpkins, I'm ore. "Now don't go toputtin' anything into the paper about our going away. We start at 4 o'clock, and I reckon we'll be gone-pretty near a month. I need the restfatid Mrs. Simpkins was getting kind of run down. Of course I know how anxious you newspaper men always are for an item, buc we're plain people and don't want any notoriety. My wife al ways likes to see 'Simpkins' spelt with out a 'p,' but the old fashioned wav is good enough for me. Well, I know an editor's time is valuable, so I'll say good day. If I come across any murders or anything while I'm gone I'll let you know about them." Washington Critic, The Elevator in European Hotels. The "lift" is not displayed ostentatious ly in the great German houses. It is he hind iron doors, to be detected only by inspection, and is moved by clanking chains. Ths deliberation of the proceed ing is its most distinguishing character istic. You stand in the great hall of the hotel where a reconnoissance has located the laboring "lift" and silently await de velopments. Everybody else has the greatest plenty of time. Presently from the unknown interior iron doors fly open, and a soldierly looking servant with brass buttons on his cap, preoccupied with his responsibilities, steps forth with an air of majesty. The doors clang as they swing, and the lift is there, rather primitive but elaborate in construction. Perhaps there may bo five passengers ready to get aboard. When four have taken position the master of the elevator waves the fifth backward with an awful air of authority, and if the rejected one is an American urgent to go up at once, he is told peremptorily that there are places "only for four." The iron doors are banged, the engines heave and the massive machine moves. Safety is con sulted! Here is a masterly mechanism that might swing a pair of elephants of the size of Jumbo, but an attempt to lift at once more than four persons would be regarded as an affront to the empire. The thing's impossible! The French have the same elevating methods. There is usually an iron gate as well as an iron door to the ascenseur in France, and in some of the first clas3 establishments they will risk taking up as many as five passengers at a time. The chains that arc rigged for the security of this multi tude of irresponsible things are of links of wrought iron two inches in diameter. Murat Halstead. Savins a Life. An old soldier, a lieutenant during the civil war, was walking down the street of a town when he was accosted by a fellow, half soldier, half beggar, who made him a most reverential salute. "God bless your honor," said the man, whose speech betrayed him for an Irish man, "God bless you and long life to you. "How do you know me?" said the lieu tenant. . "Is it how do I know you, your hon or?" responded Pat. "Good right, sure, I have to know the man that saved my life in battle." The lieutenant, gratified at this trib ute to his valor, slipped a fifty cent piece into the fellow's hand, and asked him when. "God bless your honor aud long life to you," said the now doubly grateful vet eran. "Sure, an' it was at Antietam, when, seeing your honor run away as fast as your legs would carry you from the rebels, I followed your lead and ran after you out of the way, whereby, un der God, I saved my life. Oh, good luck to your honor! I will never forget you." Youth's Companion. DUmh of the Heart. In diseases of the heart which persist for a long time and finally end, as a very large proportion of them do, in slow de cline and a lingering death, dropsy al ways sets in. In the lata stages it is a most intractable symptom, and adds greatly to the suffering experienced. In the treatment, physicians have been wont to depend largely upon a diet of milk, which, in cases where it is well Bucklin's Arnica Salve.

We have reference to those who cannot be kept quiet, but in sist upon oeing up ana aoout, oiten in the open air, if not engaged in light duues. Professor German See, of Paris, has long been engaged in study to learn what elements in milk render it such an admirable agent to stimulate the kid neys, increase the flow therefrom and hence prove of such great service in dropsies. As a result of his investiga tion he is convinced that the one im portant element is sugar of milk. Acting upon that tneory no selected twenty-five patients with heart disease, in all of which there was more or less dropsy. To each he gave 100 grammes of the sugar of milk a day, dissolved in two quarts of water. In all these cases a marked effect upon the kidneys was felt within from twenty-four to forty-five hours, and the dropsies diminished rap idly, and almost all such swellings dis appeared altogether after a series of treatments lasting from six to eight days. This discovery is likely to prove one of the most important which has been made in the medical world for years. Boston Herald.

A looking glass is a mvstery, an ob ject of intense interest to many animals, and it is often very amusine to watch their maneuvers. Professor O. Robert son describes the behavior of a large ape in the Jardm de3 Plantes. He was in an iron cage lording it over some smaller monkeys. Ferns and other things had been thrown between the bars, which the ape attempted to seize. At length a small hand looking glass, with a strong wooden frame, was thrown 111. ine ape got hold of it and began to brandish it like a hammer, when sud denly he was arrested by the reflection of himself in the glass. After looking puzzled for a moment, he darted his head behind the glass to find the other ape, which he evidently supposed to be there. Finding nothing, he apparently thought that he had not been quick enough in his movements. So he raised and drew the crlass nearer to him with crreat caution, and rlirni. with a swifter dart, looked behind: and again finding nothing, he made the at tempt once more. He now grew very angry, and began to beat the frame violently on the floor of his cage. Soon the class was shat tered, and pieces fell out. Again ho was arrested by his own imago in the piece of glass still remaining in the frame, and he resolved to try again. More carefully than ever he began, aud more rapidly than ever was the final dart made. His fury over this last failure knew no bounds, and he crunched tho frame and glass together with his teeth till nothing but splinters remained. Youth's Companion. Merit Wins.

She was massively built of varnished oak, with bows so bluff as to be almost square, a straight sided box, made, like all Dutch craft, to slide over the water rather than through it, and with im mense wing like lee boards on each side to let down and supply the place of a keel when going to windward. A tall mast bore a lofty narrow headed main sail with a short curved gaff, and a fore staysail from the bow. The great rudder bore along its upper edge a grotesquely carved and gayly painted lion couchant, tho most common of all the rudder decor ations and of as much importance as the familiar figurehead in seagoing ships. Hull and spars were brightly varnished, with casings of polished brass, and rings and scrolls of red and blue paint wher ever there was room. The staves of the water barrels were green and white, and marvelous landscapes were painted on the ends. There was a neat raised cabin at the stern, gayly ornamented in green and yellow, with little white curtained Qower decked windows, through which one caught glimpses of a spotless doll's house interior, with shining pots and pans and quaint shapes of blue and brown earthen vessels. Of course all the items of household life cooking, washing, the baby's toilet, and soon were performed in the most open and unconcerned man ner on deck.
