I T By EUGENE W000. 1IIrr 1 r I 1 Joe Covet I etas just beginning to have a Yoally good limo , with the Centervlllo boys. Ho was supposed to be paying a visit to bls Uncle frank and Aunt Emmeline , but ha really put In the day flnding out how different - ent Centervlllo leas from New York , and how like boys are the world over. Nice boys ht Centervlllo went barefoot and ho didn't have to tease Aunt Emmeline at all to let him do so , She said : "Why , yes ; It you like , " just as if It was nothing out of the common Must , of course , when It comes to getting In the shade of the Carmichael barn sal bragging there could bo no doubt that ' how York exceeded Centerville , and Joe kept R'Ill and Alexander Carmichael and "hooky" Gibbs and Fred Myers and Hen lfhomna as much entranced as Marco I'olo did the people of hla day and time with 1315 storlcs about the far cast , It Is often the case with travelers that. they somehow contrive to shine by the reflected glories of the wonders they have ecen , as if they had something to do with making the Brooklyn bridge or the "L" road. Joe had to tell about what ha did and how ho know such a lot , anl ; how ho had gone to the class In first old for the injured , which was all very Interesting to bum , but not very much so to time other i boys , hen. Thomas wasn't at all pleased , It may ho because ho was the biggest and was just about the ago when he thought ho , ; was the smartest. Ifo had been undis- ulsediy admired by the other boys till Joe whore the llttlo island is and go swimming on the other esido. 0 , there's a bully place to play Indian In and have a good time , " They all packed their clothes Ia bundles on their heads , just as they Innd seen it done in pictures , and started off , all but "Hooky" Gibbs. Either ho didn't want to coma with them , or ho was afraid of IIen Thomas , "YOU'ro leavin' the best place. " Thomas bawled after them , in his flat , cracked voice , " 'Tain't while you're tbere , " retorted Fred Myers. I ' - 11i , When they got down to Yellowhammer island , as the boys called It , they built a little fire. They splashed around and swam awhile , and played Indian awhile , and finally , as the sun began to get low , they put out the are , pretending that it would never do to let the palefaces know where they had camped , They had crossed the river from the side lien Thomas was on and trotted an homeward - ward , mPnning to cross by the covered bridge. They followed the narrow path , winding In and out among the bushes on the banks , and as they chattered along ivlll Carmichael called out : "Cheese it , fellows ! What's that hallooing 2" IIeipl Itelpl lie's drowning ! Drown- ingl" It was "Hooky" Gibbs' shrill voice. They ran up stream toward the Sycamore 1 ( tn. G I. r 1 : = . ra. , 1 l , a I a .

Covell came , for his fattier was a horse klealer ; and Hen always bad horses to ride. Joe ryas going ahead at a great rate when lien put In : "Didn't you never ride a horse before last night ? " he asked in just the tone of volco ono would use to say , "Don't you know how much two and two mnke , really ? " Joe Covell felt his ears getting red with rhamo as he said "No" before all tlm tel- lot's. It did not seem right to him that they should 'ail laugh at him for not riding a horse when not one New York boy in ten thousand ever lied his leg over the back of one. But they did laugh , maybe to pay him off far boasting so of what ho knew , and lien Thomas roared out , "Well , you don't know much if you can't ride a horse. Gee , fellers , you orter seen him last night. I got ] mini on old John. Ilcre w'as Joe a-hikln' III ) on old John's neck , with Angers grabbin' the mane , I hit the horse a clip with the halter strap and ho broke into a gallop , and ft scared Josie most to death , didn't it , Josie ? " IIen was doing a llttlo more than plain ! casing. lie know ] low angryit made Joe to ho called "Josie , " though Aunt Emmeline could never understand why. Hen' was a good sort of a fellow , but ho was just at that age when boys get so that 1t in hardly 1 possible p stand ) henna When lien lct 30050 that cackling laugh-his voice was just breaking-Joe felt like murder. "I don't care , " pouted ho , "If I had you ) n Now York I bet you'd be scared worse than me , Why- " "Ye-es , " sneered lien , "I've heard you make your brags before. Whadda you link , fellers ? Ho says that in New York the houses is so close together 'at. they tech Cach other ! " "They do so ! " protested Joe. "Geddout ! " scorned all lho boys together , Joe had his blood up , and there would ' have been a regular gtiarrcl thou and there if "Monkey" Reynolds had not come along at that moment and held uD two angers , Ilvhich everybody knows menus , "Let's go Bwimmin' . " i II. - ' 'f fey all trooped off , forgetting 1ho dls- pule. Joe was a little more gingerly on his feet than the others , for the soles had not quite get calloused , lie had two stub bed toes , done up In rags , and a stone- bruise on his heel , all the skin on the calves of his bare legs , oil unaccustomed to the nun , was peeling ott in long strips , like tissue paper , Joe was as glad as anybody that they were going swimming. That was n sport in which be vas not to be beaten. Ito was at the head of the class there , lie knot/ tricks in svrlnuning that none of the boys in Centervillo know. As a diver none of them could come up to him , and ho could do "tho steanthoat" and "tread valor , ltd nil the regulation acts , besides lnefng a swift and enduring swimmer with the sailor stroke , "First in ! " shouted Monk Itoynolds , "It ) ft cold ? " shouted the other boys , as f It made any difference , "Nawi ! " answered botbj Monk and Joe ; ror water has to ho like ice itself to get any other response but a favoring one from boy's , Thea , lliero canes a time when even sugar does not taste sweet any longer. The rest of the boys came bobbing Into the outer , and they kept the pot a-boiling , you may depend upon it. Joe got to telling - ing about the surf at Long Drench and 'the undertow and the tides and all , when lien Thomas , who loved to torment smaller boys , slipped up behind him and pushed him under water the tniddio of a word , Joe canto up gasping and choking and full of wrath , lie shot water with his huh- lowed palm into hen's face. Tlmo big fellow gasped for breath , but ho ( bragged Joe out where It was deeper and held him under until Joe's bead rung and his ribs nearly burst In the effort net. to breathe , It was the sheer cruelty that spoils such sport among boys. This was a little more than mere rough joking. There w ns something like jealousy growing In lien Thomas' heart and a wild sense of wrong raging in Joe's , lie and the others made for the bank where their clothes were , "Let's go away and leave him , " said Wlll r Carmichael , "lie's teasing everybody this afternoon. Let's don't go home , 1 know a place doy'q by thq copperas banks , a little further down stream , that's pretty pear as deep as this , We'll wade jtcrnas I swimming hole. Gibbs was out in the stream up to his watst pointing to the deep hole and shrieking. As they ran Joe tore off his clothes , and as they got opposite where Gibbs stood shivering - ering and crying , ho dashed in , swimming his swiftest stroke , "tie's down there about , " moaned Gibbs. "lie sold he had a cramp , " Joe dived down , but fetched nothing. Again and again ho came up , shook the water out of his eyes and nostrils , took a good long breath and fought his way to the bottom against the buoyant waters. They roared and thundered in his ears and made the red sparks come in his eyes as ho strove to see in the dull cur- rent. His foot slipped on something soft. It felt like flesh. Instantly he stooped and slipped his hand under the body and strove to lift ft to the surface , But Thomas was caught In some weed or was clutching it , Joe never knew which. It took n wrench to dislodge him , and when it seemed be could stand it no longer the body came up , scarcely heavier than the water , and Joe got tbo breath he was dying for. for.Joe Joe clutched Thomas' long foretop , and swam for the side of the river nearest where the other boys were. Fred Myers and Sandy Carmichael stripped and. plunged in to give a hand when they saw him rise to the surface - face , "Reynolds ! " gasped Joe , between breaths , "light-a fire-quick ! " Reynolds and WIII Carmichael began frantically to gather up dried leaves and dead grass and last year's weeds into a bonfire , that sent up its first wreath and crackling blaze as the loud splashing of the boys' feet in the shallows announced that they had brought their burden to land. " 0 , lie's dead ! He's dead ! " whimpered Reynolds , when be saw how stark and ghastly the white figure looked. "he will be if you don't do somethtng ! " said Joe. "Make that fire burn fast , and fl t 11 I' i ' l i ; I' lm ' ! 1 , ' ' I 1 ! 3 / ' ! li it f. . ( m t I , c 1 , t DIDN'T YOU NEVER RIDE A HORSE BEFORE LAS' NIGHT , get some darnicks as big as your two flats in there to heat , " "Is his heart beating yet : " asked Fred Myers , "I don't know , " answered Joe. "I haven't time to and out. Ile can't have been under water very lobg , " "I wish we had a barrel ! " said Will Carmichael - michael , "Shall i run tot' one ? " "No , " said Joe. " 1ve'11 get the water out of his throat without that Here , Fred , get a handkerchief and pull his tongue forward - ward , Oat a good grip on it , and don't let it slip back. Now , let's throw him over of his face , while I pump on his ribs , " Some water and froth were expelled by Joe's pressure on the chest. Reynolds had got the stones In the fire and was alternately fanning the blaze and piling on the fuel a handful at a time , so 09 not to smother it out , " 1Ve want something to cover him with , " said Joe. "Now , Fred , don't you let go his longue. Will , you rub his hands. Sandy , you take his feet 0 , harder ! harder ! Rub bsrderj Reynolds , as soon as you geR those stones hot let me know , " In the meantime - time Joe was kneeling astride the prostrate body , lie presscd botb hands on thu floating ribs till the air gushed out of the throat. Then relaxing the pressure , ho let the elastic ribs spring back and the air rush in. Again and again , and yet again , with regular movements , as it one were inhaling and exhaling deeply , He listened for the heart beat , No sound , "They're hotl" cried Reynolds , "Iloli 'em over here , " answered Joe. Reynolds - nolds took sticks , and partly by tonging them and partly by positing them , got two hot stones at Thomas' feet , "Wrap 'em up in something , so they won't lose their heat too fast. Keep hits feet covered up , Now , get two more tip here by his arm- pits. And tell Gibbs over there to stop crying and go for the doctorh" Reynolds shouted across the darkening river to the scared boy to run for Dr. McDowell - Dowell , and to be sure and tell him to come over by the covered bridge , "I'm not going to give it up for tt whole hour yet , " promised Joe , "I've heard of people working longer titan that and still rescuing drowned persons , I've heard of them working four hours , . Got some more hot stones ? Put 'am where you can , it's better to burn him than to let him die , Iv. The minutes dragged slowly by. 'rho dusk began to fall , and the terror of the dark , ii ! h no education can get out of us , drove the boys to greater vigor at effort , though their arms ached with fatigue. Joe steadily pumped air Into the lungs of Thomas , pressure-rest ; relax-rest. In the quiet evening air they beard tire thunder of a horse's hoots trotting in the , covered bridge and then the crash of buggy wheels striking the gravel of the road outside , A feeble flutter made itself felt under the fingers of Joe's right hand , "Keep a-goin' , " ho whispered , as it in fear a louder noise would frighten it away. Another flutter and another , and presently something like a regular beating , feeble , it is true , Once there was a quiver in the breast , and presently Henry Thomas began to breathe. "liooray ! " shrilled Joe , and the others joined in the chorus as they chafed at the flesh , now beginning to lese a little of its chill. Just then there came a crashing through the underbrush , and Dr. McDowell ran down to where the excited boys were , "Good ! Good ! " ho cried , when lie saw what had been done. "You are boys out of ten thousand , There's mighty little left for me to do. " "Dress him the best way you can , now , " They were getting him into his clothes when Henry's eyes opened , closed and then opened again. He saw Joe Covell , It seemed to anger him , lie snarled , "You think you're smart don't you ? You don't know how to ride a horse ; you don't know anything ! " "Don't you mind him , " said Dr. McDowell - Dowell , "You boys know how to make a saddle by crossing your wrists. That's right , Now carry him right through there and I'll take him home in my buggy. Don't you mind him , my boy , " he said , putting his arm around Joe , "When people are brought bath to life from drowning they are almost always in a terrible temper. He'll ho all right when he knows what you've done for bun. " And so he was , There was nothing Henry Thomas would not do for Joe Covell , and the very next day Mr , Thomas himself brought Joe a beautiful pony and said ; "This is yours. I wish I could give you more. lien says you don't know how to ride , but I guess you'll learn , I hope you'll put it to ns good use as what you do know , " CHIN1SII SHOES. 'rue Comfort and llcnlthfnloeNs of Woven Straw SnodaiM. "I may seem to he quarrelling with my bread and butter , " said an uptown chiropodist - dist to the Washington Star man , "but in my humble and somewhat professional opinion - ion , the most sensible of all men in the matter of footwear is the Chinaman , Did you ever notice his feet ? I don't believe there is such a thing as a corn or a bunion - ion in all China. Chiropodists would starve to death there so far as the requirements of the masculine foot are concerned. Whatever - over the deformities Inflicted on the feet of women in China may be , the men certainly - tainly enjoy sound and comfortable under- standings. Look at the Chinese laundrymen - men hero in Washington ; they stand at their work eighteen hours a day. No class of workingmen I know of spend so many hours on their feet as they do. Yet they never break down there , and , physically , they are a wonderfully healthy race. "Simple living and freedom from the nervous - ous pursuits of our civilization may have something to do with It , but I attribute their exemption from foot weakness and disease no the kind of house shoo so universally worn by them , I bavo a pair that I have worn for several years , and I wouldn't wear anything - thing else for genuine indoor comfort , They are woven of straw and seaweed and soled with horsehide. There is a thick solo of straw above the leather , and through this the air can circulate freely , keeping the muscles at the under part of time foot always cool. The laundrymen , you notice , are usually - ally barefoot , which is an added advantage in the matter of healthfulness , There is about as little material in the uppers as is consistent with the idea of a shoe , and this is just enough to keep the thing on the foot. This upper , too , is woven loosely of seaweed , so that the air can have access to the foot. Nowhere does this shoe pinch erin in the least degree press the foot. "These are the indoor shoes of the China- man. On the street hero In the United States nowadays he wears very cornmeal ) the leather shoes or boots o1 American mann- facturo , That is one of the ways in which he ! s becoming Americanized. Dut the outdoor - door cloth shoe of China is a great deal worn also , That , like the indoor shoe , is very thick and soft in the sole , and the foot is never pinched or strained by it , Tim healthiest footgear ever known probably was the sandal of the Greeks. It l'ad no upper , and , as you will see in statuary , the feet of men and women were ideally perfect. All the sandal afforded was a protection from lho ground , 'To him who wears sandals , ' says the Arabs , 'it is as it the world were shod with leather , ' The Chinaman seems to follow out this motto , and his shoes are nearly soles and nothing more , hut tbo great secret of the excellence of his indoor shoo Is the half-inch straw sole.

'What strange things we eat ! At ( cast the custom house returns say so , Of the more than seventy nationalities that go to tnako up title great country of our , relates the Philadelphia Times , there is probably not ono that does not , at some time during the year , appear on time bdoks of at least one of our ports of entry by reason of emigrants' desires for home dishes , The list of these amounts to many hundreds - dreds and most of the names arc unfamiliar to American ears , The Irish hare very llttlo to boast of in their native country from a gastronomic standpoint ; yet they Import regularly from the "auld sod" pieces of bacon , genuine 1nt . rphloe and Irish moss , a peculiar kind of dried seaweed which is ohlnined upon time western coast of the Emfiernld Isle. This latter is not very attractive in appearance , looking very much like the stuff employed in our seaside resorts for preparing clam bakes. Properly cooked , however , it becomes - comes converted into a dark-colored gelnll- none mass and is extremely agreeable to the taste. It is said to be very wholesome for people troubled with wenk digestions. The Swedes and Norwegians import n small cabbage , a seaweed very much like time Irish article , and two or three kinds of bread. Of the latter one Is like the German - man pumpernickel , the second is like the unleavened bread which the Jews call motzalhs , and a third seems to be a hybrid between the two. They are nil of them nutritious , 011(1 , no matter how prepared , qulto palatable. Toasted and served avith milk , cream or butler , they make a very enjoyable rush , The French keep alive their love for "La ratrle" by consuming any amount of Gallic food , 'rho queerest of nil their imports is pickled cock's-comb , the animal tissue and not the flower being the article. Sometimes - times it is put up raw , and sometimes it is half-cooked , anti then pickled or spiced , it makes a very brilliant dish , but is not very fascinating to one unfamiliar with the luxury , being tough , poorly flavored and very suggestive of a piece of leather. A relic of the siege of Paris and the war of the commune is afforded ht French blood pudding , which is darker , heavier and more homogeneous than the Teutonic blutvurat. The love for this dish is mm acquired taste , the impression produced upon one who eats it for the first time being rather disagree- able. These puddings are made ( rota the blood of beeves or horses. During the exciting - citing period mentioned they were made from the blood of cats , dogs , rats , donkeys 1111(1 birds , and were regarded as a wonderful - ful delicacy by the starving defenders of Paris. It can be found on the table of nearly every French restaurant and boarding - ing house in this country. Gcrnuua"s Minty IIshes. 'rho many German provinces are also large exporters of odd foods to the United States. Besides such common products us sauerkraut , sausages , pickled herrings and soused mackerel , they send hares and wild boars in the winter time ; a curious confection - tion called matzapan , which is made of white sugar , cream and blanched almonds ; various kinds of bread , pastry and confec- tionery. Occasionally they send cabbages and potatoes , 'rho former are smaller than our own , but are usually more dell- cato and finer flavored. The latter are smmall , round and altogether inferior to our own product. Other foods are goose breasts , which are dried , smoked and h icic- i led ; special kinds of ham , for which , it should be added , they charge special prices , nod a very delicious mushroom , which is grown in caverns along the Rhino and other river courses , the present war lived under the stars and stripes , yet they imported curious foods In large quantities and great variety from Spain , Cuba and Porto Rico. Few of these 'are ever found in our stores , nearly everything - thing being consumed in either the household - hold or the few restaurants which the IIIs- panollans have cstahlfshed in the past decade. Among these luxuries are VIe , Catalan and Basque sausages , all of which are long , thin and narrow , smoked until tltey are almost black , dry and hard as a piece of wood , but finer than any other sausage that comes to this country ; guayada and guayabada , which are marmalades made from the guava fruit alum or from it mixed with other fruit and boiled down so hard as to justify the Castilian use of the knife and fork when it is served upon the table ; red and green peppers , which have been canned in great tin boxes that contain ten and twenty pounds ; Andalusian cheese , of which the maternal cows must have dieted upon onions and garlic in order to account for its flavor ; preserves of cocoanut , pineapple - apple , orange , banana and guava made by boiling the fruit with coarse sugar and then adding to it brandy or strong wino to keep it from fermenting ; air-dried beef , which resembles the smoked meat of our own country - try in appearance , but differs from it altogether - together in taste and tenderness ; smoked and dried sardines , which make an excellent appetizer for dinner or luncheon and various forms of anchovies , the most pungent of all the finny tribe. Flow the mouths of the beleaguered soldiers and gjtizens and women and children in Santiago do Cuba and the blockaded thousands in Ilavana would water over the mere mention of those delicacies.

Tree mushrooms and sea mushrooms are two other famous Japanese edibles that come to us across time Pacific , They resemble mush. rooms in their contour and structure , but in nothing else.
