Tho old Ca.sllo fardfii building is iiot
a pi-tly (nil-. Jt is simply an oM fash

implements f war li:ivo rieen missing
somo forty 3-cars, and in their place are
a few railings dividing tho floor into
large cribs or jwiis into wliicli the cmi

Hut it is an amazingly interesting build
ing. In itself it carries the mind back
to the revolutionary period, when the
t-ity was in its babyhood a little village
clustcringarouiid the Mattery. Then ono
recollects that after this it was a fashion
able gathering place, a sort of opera
house, the one in which Jenny IJnd Bang

SPANNING A SIMP'S I.OAI.
Two ship loads of greenhorns were
filing into the old fort as I stood looking
on into (he first pens from boats that
had brought tli.m from ships lying out
in the hai lx-r. llown the bay tho hcaltl
officers had assured themselves that there
were no contagious diseases aboard, but
at tho water gate of the. Castle were
other doctors who narrowly scanned
every emigrant, as lie or she landed, and
who every now und then touched one on
tho shoulder and bade him stand aside.
It was th-ir business to discover any
such tevcro sullerers Irom illness as
might seem to le unablo to luake their
own way in this country, all cripples
and whatever j'oung girls might happen
alouir who apiieared to be on tho verpre
of motherhood without tho aecoixipani
incut of husbands. These amount to
very many every year. All such were
afterward closely questioned, and unless
there was somebody to guarantee that
they should not become a charge ujion
tho public thy were sent back to Eurorie
by the steamer lines that brought them,
at no charge to them or the authorities,
Jioonuse it is the duty of the steamship
people to scrutinize all who apply for
passage on the other side and to refuse
to bring emigrants of this sort.
Theso people were all waiting their
turn to give their name, age, birthplace
and destination for the clerks to put on
record in the big Ixioks of the garden.
Wmle tin v waited they smoked their
ptjK-s, nursed their babies, ltought un-
palatablo looking repasts at provision
counters, washed and tubed themselves,
ppr;iwled out on the benches and slept,
and so were obliged to spend the greater
part of tho day until the boats from the
railroad depots should come up in the
afternoon to take them up town or over
to Jersey, and thence into the rapacious
m.iw of the great wet. iSomo of them
had their money changed by brokers p
iointed for the purpose, who doubtless
rn.ikt? a great deal of protit, but are under
iHimLi to charge no more than Wall street
rates of commission, and to change the
single silver piece of tho poorest Italian
woman at the game rate as the 1,000 of
one of the well to do.
I'HOTECTED FliOil SHARPERS.
Tho only money tho emigrants can
paitwith in the garden now must go
for provisions or railroad tickets or to
the very enterprising barber who has a
shop thero and 6eems in much demand.
His signs are peculiar. They are in
German, and they announce "Razoring,
fifteen cents; head washing, twenty
cents." The signs of tho provision
dealers shov that loaves of rye bread
fetch fifteen cents, or other bread ten i
eents: that cheese goes for twenty cents
a iound, and that the other articles in
strong demand are h:uu, pumpernickel,
lager lcer and pie, all of which are sold
at rates projvwtionato to the prices given
above.
Doubt less there is a good deal of
sw iudlingand extortion practiced among
the landlords who keep tho emigrants
boarding house in the streets all around
Casilo Garden, but it is the emigrant's
fault if he sutlers very badly, for a great
mauy of theso places aro licensed, are
reasonably well conducted, and are re
sponsible for tho manner in which they
treat their guests. .
rut this is a very wicked city, and
down about tho Battery is a very wicked
part ol it, so mat, even n au emigrant
manages to get into a good house where
lie is not charged more than twice as
much a3 he ought to be, lie cannot
safelv venture a half a block away
from his lodgings without being ap
proached by some of the boldest and
most plausible and most ingenious ras
cals in town, w ho make it a business
to live npou theso people. The best plan,
after all, is for the emigrant not to leave
Castle Garden at all, but follow the
routine course of the majority of his
fellow passengers, and start away by
railroad, with his tickets looked after
and his baggage carried free, on the
afternoon of the day he lands. Julian

III l'H'fl."
Various form of footgear havo been
devised by different peoplo under dif
ferent condition!). All tho shoes made
have one thing in common, and that is
a sole. There aro shoos consisting of a
sole without an upper, but none that
consist of an upper without a sole. Not
to have a solo on one's shoo lias been
taken figuratively to represent extreme
destitution. So when one wants to
f.peak of a erson who is in impecunious
circumr tances, one, if ho use3 slang, is
likely to say: "IIo is walking on his
uppers."
Tho oldest form of a shoo or sandal
seems to havo been inert ly a flat sole
secured to tho foot by thongs.
FIRST EFFORTS TO IT.OTECT THE FEET.
This form can bo seen represented in
Roman and Greek sculpture. The Egyp
tians had similar soles or sandals made
ordinarily of leather, but sometimes of
palm leaves or papyrus. Ill tho Ninth
mid Tenth centuries the common form
of shoo in Europe was tho wooden shoe.
Even tho nobles and princes woro clumsy
wooden shoes, such as now are found
among tho peasants. The Fourteenth
century produced tho grotesque Ion
pointed shoe. The points had been ex
tended by fashion so far that in the days
of Richard II they were secured to tho
knee by little chains. Iho church thun
dered against this absurd and useless
fashion, but almost without avail, for it
held sway for 200 years or more. In 1403,
however, so much headway had been
gained against tho modo that a decree of
tho English parliament was obtained to
oppose tho decree of fashion.
An act was passed prohibiting shoe
makers from making points more than
two inches long for tho unprivileged
classes. Henceforth the long point le
camo a badge of the criminal class. But
a reaction came, tho long point went out
of fashion, and people went to tho op
posite extreme. Tho toes of shoes were
made of grotesq no width. This absurdity
was carried so far that Queen Mary felt
called upon to issue a proclamation re
stricting tho width of toes to six inches.
If there wera any of her subjects who
had a natural spread of the toes greater
than six inches they had to go barefooted.
In the Sixteenth century boots were
generally worn in England and France
and tho loots of the cavaliers were made
with enormously wide tops, that were
rolled or folded over. After the restora
tion tho tops of tho boots were orna
mented, at least by tho fops of the day,
with lace. Tho simple form of shoe,
which has held its own among Euro
peans and Americans to the present day,
made its appearance in the Seventeenth
century. Ilus shoo lias uudergone sev
eral modifications. It was fastened with
a buckle lefore shoe laces and buttons
came into vogue.
In the National museum in the depart
ment of ethnology are gathered together
specimens of foot wear from all over tho
world. Shoes are studied not alono from
the economic standpoint. Ethnologists
see in tho development of shoes, the
growth of the heel, tho sole and the up-

Mrs. Harden blew tho horn for break
fast at 5 o'clock. I Ier husband came in
from the barn and her son from the gar
den, where he had been digging since
dawn. Tho Hardens were thrifty far
mers, sober, hard working, God fearing
folk. They were healthy and prosjer-
ous; they ought to havo been happy, but
they gathered alout the table silently,
even without giving each other a recog
nizing smile.
It was a raw, cold morning. Mrs.
Harden had been up since 3 o'clock to
make certain dishes because her husband
liked them. He thought, as he ate them
now, that mother's biscuit woro even
crisper than usual and her chops done to
a turn; but ho did not tell her so.
Cely, the daughter, who had been at
work in the dairy, came in just as tho
others were finishing their meal. She
nodded and they nodded to her, but no
one smiled or spoke. Her mother Jiad
put away her breakfast to keep it warm,
and as she set it before the girl &fie felt
as if she would like to stroke her head
or kiss her, as sho used to do when she
was a baby; but such demonstrations
were "sentimental," and sentiment to a
Harden was only another word for silli
ners.
Tom Harden was an industrious lad.
whose thought and ambition were Itourid
ed by the farm. His father, the day be
fore, had heard some influential men of
the county declare that Tom's calves
were tho fattest brought to market, and
his apples tho soundest and most care
fully packed. Ho knew that such praise
would delight the bov, and wished that
ho could hear it; but ho could not bring
himself to repeat it.
When breakfast was over Iho men
f tailed for a distant part of the farm, not
to return unt il night. Cely, as she pac ked
her father's dinner, felt a wrench of pity
at her heart for the old man. He was
old and weak; ho had worked for his
children so faithfully and long! If he
could but rest now I Sho would have
liked to put her arms around him and
tell him this.
Instead of doing so she carefully packed
tho basket, saying: "There's the beef and
the bread and the pio and tho lnittlo of
water. That's all."
All; but tho word of tenderness, tho
loving touch which would have cheered
and sweetened the day's labor for the
old man!
Too many Hardens are to be found
upon our New England and middle state
farms, as well as in our villages and
towns. They aro often the descendants
of men who fled from persecution and
wrested their living by hard lalwr from
a savage wilderness, and thus learned to
value only the rugged virtue of truth and
endurance and to despise the lesser chari
ties, the amenities and courtesies of life.
Tho present generation has inherited
their grim, unpleasant virtues.
Never be afraid try brighten tho life of
your friend or neighbor by praise or love.
provided the praise and love aro true.
God has made nothing for use without
giving it an additional touch of grace
and beauty. The hardest rock, seen
through tho microscope, has its exquisite
tints and lines.
Why should we strive to rob our lives
of that harmony and beauty which is the
expression of the love that comes from
him? Youth's Companion.

As Hank Cusker, tho famous bronco
breaker, and James McNaney, cowlmys
in tho employ of the N-N outlit, were
driving u bunch of horses from tho head
of Big Dry to tho round up they encoun
tered four grizzly liears. They deter
mined to make it as interesting for the
quartet as jossible and instantly gave
chase, armed with their lariats only.
After chasing them a couple of miles und
getting them separated they clott"d in on
two of the ferocious leasts and proceeded
to use their skill as rope throwers In a
very novel manner. They did their re
spective acts simultaneously and with
precision, one catching his boar around
tho neck and tho other surprised his by
roping a hind leg. Then the fun com
menced, in one going in ono direction
and the other in the opposite, with the
horses plunging and snorting and ti ing
to get away, but they were hitched to too
heavy loads and soon lieeanie tractable
again. Ctisker having caught his bear
by the neck, so n had his heirship in a
strangling condition, and with his usual
courage proceeded to tie him as he would
havo dono with a steer or bronco, and
ho eventually succeeded in his intcnd.-d
purpose. In the meantime McNaney was
doim; his lest to interest his charge, and
no doubt did so.
After making sure of his victim Cusker
had .i great curiosity to know how Mc
Naney was getting along with his pro
tege, and immediately started to hunt
him up. IIo succeeded in finding him
shor'.ly and that his services were wel
come, sis the boar being caught by the
hind leg, had full control of his lung
power and was making day hideous by
his enraged cj-j.m. Cj.,!i.i' i.a-u u.iJ.-i
took to do the tying act with this on..
and becoming very bold after the exjx-ri-ence
with the other one he proceeded at
his victim without fear and got a couple
of good rounders from the bear to j:iy
for his impatience. However, they were
not very severe strokes, and after dodg
ing around awhile they succeeded in
getting a rope around his neck and then
made short work of him. Tho only
kmlo they had was n ve ry small pen
knife, but they were bound to have the
pens, ana alter working nam lor a
couplo of hours succeeded in securing
their skins. When they had dispatched
the two beasts they became quite blood
thirsty and wanted to do somo more kill

During his u-hoo) cani-r the German
pmpi-ror was a mo.'el of Ihertudioiis Ger

and playeil and ituilied with the other

taken up for dead, and removed to tho

Many drawers are filled with shoes, and
in one of tho alcoves of the museum are
stored away another collection of shoes.
If there was a procession representing all
nations and even the subordinate divi
sions of all nations, the representatives
of the different countries and localities
could all find in this collection the proper
boots or shoes to wear.
FOOTGEAR FROM Ali NATIONS.
Then, scattered through the museum,
are effigies armies of very little ones in
cases, representing the dress and the im
plements and ceremonies of difFereni
people, and here and thero largo figures
startling in their lifelike character, and
on each of these the students of shoes
can find an interesting study. Wooden
shoes, or sabots, aro worn now among
the peasants in many countries in Eu
rope. Their adrantage js in heir cheap
ness and durability. In France and Bel
gium are factories where they are made
of maple and ash. There arc some in th?
museum from Norway and Dclgium, and
some used among the Scandinavian set
tiers in the northwestern states and ter
ritories that seem heavy and clumsy to
one accustomed to fine leather. Tho shoe
is made all of one piece, hollowed out.
They aro fashioned in the- form of the
foot, and sometimes have a little carving
outside to represent buttons and the top
cap3 on leather shoes. Tho uppers are
about a quarter of an inch thick and the
soles twice as thick.
On one pair of wooden shoes in the
museum, from Belgium, even a repre
sentation of the little knob supposed to
be made by the wearer s corn appears.
An attempt was made to establish the
manufacture of wooden shoes in this
country during the war, but the indus
try never reached large proportions.
Some, however, are made now and sold
among tlie foreign born people of the
northwest or exported to Europe. In the
tin district of Cornwall, Egypt made
wooden shoes or pattens are used.
One of these in the museum is simply
a flat piece of wood, with an iron' ring
fastened uuderneath. The ring is on
the ground, and raises the flat shoe and
its wearer above the ground. Tlie shoe
is fastened to iho fooi with straps. Shoes
with wooden soles are very common.
They are used in some countries for or
dinary wear, and many are made for
the special rise of persons employed in
bleacheries or damp places. The imper
vious wooden soles keep the feet dry.
Skime 6hoes with handsomely adorned
uppers are provided with wooden soles.

Cigarettes.
The cigarette is a miserable apology
for a manly pleasure. Xsothine shall
ever induce us to believe that a man who
really likes tobacco for tobacco's 6ake
prefers cigarettes. And the proof of this
is that the more precious the cigarette is
tho less pure, invariably, is the tobacco,
We do not want to enter into the endless
controversies as to what the "loading"
really is, or into the other endless fight
about "cigai-ette smoker's throat." But
if any one with some faculty of taste and
smell will enter (the only way of iudg
ing) a room where some few whiifs of
any fashionable brand of cigarette have
been smoked, himself fasting from to
bacco, he will perceive at once that the
flavor and odor are of tobacco plu
something. Isever mmd what the some
thing is; it is there. It is not the smell
or the taste of the very best Turkish to
bacco (such as makers would havo us
believe is used) smoked in a clean pipe
by itself, it is not the smell of any "other
kind of tobacco mingled with it. The
perfume and flavor of, say, the best gold
en leaf smoked in a pipe, or the best
Havana cigars, or tho best tobacco, and
cigars unadulterated of any other kind
and country, are different enough, but
they differ liko the flavor of different
wines all distinct, but all vinous. The
flavor and odor of tho cigarette, at least
the popular manufactured Turkish or
Egyptian cigarette (we know, of course,
that vast quantities of ordinary Ameri
can tobacco are smoked a3 cigarettes),
are, in great part, not those of tobacco
at all, but of something quite distinct
from, and added to, tobacco; and we
believe that all honest persons gifted
with discrimination will add that it is
a deleterious something a something
provocative of "head" and "throat" and
stimulative of a great derire 'o drinks-

A Hoarding House Secret.
A certain lady who keeps a rather
fashionable boarding house in this city
is troubled with ten boarders no 1.
man ten wno possess enormous appe
tites. Everybody that knows a board
ing house can realize that ten boarders
with large appetites are very hard upon
the profit of the concern. She tried, like
a thorough business woman, all sorts of
methods to check these ungodl3 appetites
but to no avail.
One day she happened to tell her familv
doctor of these ten hungry men and how
they worried her, and he said immedi
ately:
"Why, I can give you an easy remedy
for that."
Sho told him that she would be very
much obliged to him for any help that
he could give her on the subject, and
. . -ill . - j . . . i
moieoer saiu niai, ic wouiu uo worm a
great deal of money to her.
"Well," said he, "next week bake a
lot of lemon pies and see that those ten
boarders get their share of pie."
"13 that all your prescription, doctor?"
said the lady.
"Yes ma'am," he replied, "and you
will find it is quite enough."
So the next week she baked a number
of lemon pies, and she saw to it that the
ten boarders were helped twice to pie on
tho first day. After that she noticed grad
ually that their appetites fell away, and
at tho end of that week there was an
unmistakable diminution in the bill for
provisions required for that boarding
house.
Tlie lemon pio diet was continued un
til the boarding house l?canio as profita
ble as it had previously been unprofitable,
ft is not within my power to say exactly
how the lemon pie acts on the average
boarder, but it is certainly a fact that in
this caso the lemon pics produced what
no other system of dieting could accom
plish. This recipe may be of use to some
of the down trodden boardiug house mis

Russian Intolerance.
Sonnenthal, one of the most prominent
actors of Vienna, had a very unpleasant
experience. lie was asked to appear at
Riga and accepted the invitation, there
being a large German speaking colony in
that city, bhoi tly after his arrival there
tho prefect of police issued an order sum
marily expelling him from the czar's
domain. There was a flurry of excite
ment, as Sonnenthal is held in very high
estimation. - Jnquirie3 as to the pause of
the order elicited the information that
the 'sole reason was that the actor had
been so contumacious as to be born, of
Hebrew parentage! Improbable as it may
seem it required negotiations between
tho Austrian ambassador at St. Peters
burg and the highest Russian official be
fore the outrageous order of the police
could be revoked. San Francisco Chronicle.
Out on
years ago a small band of hog3 were
confined in a lot fenced in with logs. I n
one part of tho fence there was a hollow
log, shaped something like a joint of
stovepipe, one opening being inside the
lot and the other outside. One day an
intelligent porker discovered this fact
and thereafter went out and returned at
his own pleasure. The owner of the
ranch happened to witness the modo of
egress of the hog ono day and decided
to put up a job on him. Ej slewing the
log around a little he so contrived as to
place both openings of the log inside the
lot. In a few moments the hog ran up
to his usual exit and passed through tho
log. ' Imagine his surprise when he
walked out the other end of tho log and
found himself still inside the lot. Ho

Again he ran into the log and ran out

wild with rage and dashed through the
log so often and so fast that the smoke
began to issue from the cracks. Tlien

owner pf the hog says, never went near
tho fence until tho day of his death,.

age, is the hero of the day in Carbon
dale, Pa. Several children were playing
around an uuproteeled well, when Eddie
VVH'ner decided to take a drink from it.

surface the little fellow thought he could

putting his head down, to tho water, but
in trying this feat he lost his balance
and ihinged head first into the rpring.
which is over six feet deep. In his fall
he turned a complete somersault, coming
up head first, but as he went down he
uttered a cry that attracted tho attention
of a playmate, Ralph Dall, who is only 5
years of age. The latter hastened to the
place, nnd, with a precocious presence of
mind that would have deserted many an
aiiult, he took in tlie situation at a glance.
and, seizing the already half drowned
boy, he held his head alove tho surface
of the water until the united voices of
I he children drew a man who was work
ing near by to the rescue. Eddie was
restored to his parents rather the worse
for his dangerous bath, tut was soon
completely resuscitated. Chicago Times.
