MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Powers at War for “Bangor's
Golden Slippers.”
—
Inquiries have been received in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to repiesout either (he Rus
Bian or the Japanese government
j concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities nnd the earli
est date* of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It i* supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
j diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
' eminently suitable, says the New
! York Sun. j
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen of
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gor in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children—
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done j
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moccasins are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
loom for several pairs of stock-;
lugs, and that is a strong point in
Its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocca
sin leather still conies from the
place of its origin, Pawtucket,
R. I., although a considerable
! quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing,
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
aie not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
greatdemand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It i
now seems likely that “Bangor’s:
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD
H*r Crew Hade a Brave Start, But
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England.
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The
trouoie oniy Degan wnen snecamo
back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.!
From this to having the best
mentally equippedcrews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lac’k. Tbat of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
; carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies buck to it without hes
itation an finds it without mak
ing a mis lake. There is another
wasp tia unerringly locates the
eggs of t mason bee under a
thick lay of sun-baked clay, and
deposits eggg in the same
cells that ** young may have
I food whe Hb are hatched.

ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish Whea
He Saw Them, Also a Kail
road •‘Ad.”
William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, aud rightly called
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what lish you will
find in Blank brook, in Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New fish
es aud new facts about them, he
loves as a miser loves gold, only
he does not board them, but gath
ers them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be In
St. Paul. He was talking with
General Passenger Agent Charley
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver*
tised.
Harris said there were no gray*
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had fished it.
The dispute waxed warm. H#r*
rls was due in New York on a
certain day, and by taking the first
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
gagement. In 36 hours he was on
the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
In, made one cast, and was fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
It came to the net, and the local
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
“There, there; it’s a grayling!"
“Pack this carefully In moss,"
ainv/1 TTopni'a “SonH it tn vmir pea
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
whitefish.”
Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HiS SHOES. •
The Thicker the Sole* He Wears tbs J
Larger the City from Which
He Hails.
“You can almost tell from
what country a man comes by the
weight of his shoes,” said J. W.
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from whieb he
comes. In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
with rubbers. So they make one
pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear light
shoes and rubbers. I suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country 1
find that in many places leather
boots are not worn at all for sev^
eral of the winter months. They
wear heavy socks and then put j
rubber overshoes over these.”
German “Sunday Schools."
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote;
a place ot religious teacning. ju
Germany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led t* j
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics ar«
given practical instruction ia
their trades. There is, for exam
pie, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
chanics who work during the
week, spend several hours on Sun
day morning in learning the high
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarly there are Sunday schools fo»
tailors, ironmongers, bookbind
ers, and followers of other trades
—even barliers and blacksmiths.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano >
STRUCTURE. I
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda'
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not -
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we arc able to sell the Kimball at a vary moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings It within reach of all.
