MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
iTjijnj ru-j--- jr. W* irim«lCi|iAIHlBt HU. J
Inquiries Made by Representatives at
Powers at War for “Bangor's
Golden Slipper*.”
Inquiries have been received in
j Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the Japanese government
! concerning prices for moccasins
! in large quantities and the earli
i est date of delivery at Atlantic or
| Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would he
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
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 sowing is still done
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
j tanning.
The common moccasin is not
I proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings, 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 comes 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., ana Karine, vv is.
The dainty bath slippers, which
are not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
great demand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
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.
Her Crew Made 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
trouble only began when she came
back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
C( to rk Vl f\ t-llATT roAtiA ,,,..,11., J /\

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-equipped crews, 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 lack. That 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 back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp ft at unerringly locates the
eggs of flic mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, Ihe founds*
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 V j
ofasezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre- )
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal, .■'! j
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the Zultivated human voice. An ,
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim 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 olher of I he .
recognizer! artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output -
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered -
Tho Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
