MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
/ -
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Powers at War for “BaAgor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been received in
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
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasifu* are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
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 j
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
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
room for several pairs of stock-1
ings, and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
^|rm and dry in cold weather the
umecasm nas 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., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
are 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
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.
Har Crew Made & 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
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-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Xnsect 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
l carefully that no ordinary eye
I could discover its location. That
I is to say it is just like all the sur
w'ounding location, and yet the
Bvasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
Bg a mistake. There is another
Asp that unerringly locates the
Kgs of the mason bee under a
Kck layer of sun-baked clay, and
^■posits her eggs in the same
vyBte that her young may have
BHBd when they are hatched.

A “SHOWERPROOF” CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials
with Petroleum—Curious Aquatic
Displays in Tailors' Windows.
It has usually been thought
that rubber was about the only
substance which would render
cloth waterproof, although oil silk
is coated with another one, a prep
aration of linseed oil. However,
"showerproof” cloth is known as
that which repels water very
largely and yet remains porous,
appearing in all respects like OP*
diary wetable cloth. The methods
of treatment of such cloth ara
often trade secrets, and even the
patent specifications do not di
vulge all that must be done to
achieve a satisfactory result.
“Petroleum,” a German period
ical, says Jhat the oil to which
that paper owes its name is one of
the most successful showerproof
preparations. It says that the
only reliable shower proof is ob
tained by impregnating the cloth
outside and in with a fine film of
waxes. Paraffin wax is the staple,
but owing to its low melting point
it is not fit for use alone. The com
position used ts so alloyed with
other waxes and chemicals thahat
the boiling point of water the wax
stands firm. A rather elaborate
preparatory form must be gone
through, and after the wax has
been applied a finishing process la
required. The interesting fact re
mains that it is petroleum that
keeps out the wet. In tailors' win
dows in Germany many aqnatic
displays have been arranged to
snow tnai ciom can mysteriously
be made to exhibit the power of
the duck’s back. Wool, cotton,
silk, linen, velvets, braids, and
even sails, awnings and tent
cloths are thus wrapped in an in
visible film of rock oil.
PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The Brain in Certain States of Active
ity Can Act on the Organic
Functions.
“Cenesthesia” is the name given
to the general feeling we have of
the existence of our own bodies,
says the London Globe. This
sense of existence is chiefly owing
to accidental and local impres
sions awakening or stimulating
the sensibility, but it is completed
by a certain obverse conscious
ness of the exercise of the organic
functions, for example, respira
tion. It is by this sensation that
the spiritual Ego perceives itself
existing locally in the limited ex
tent of the organism. In perfect
health this feeling is continuous,
uniform, and equal, and therefore,
not special or local. In order to bo
remarked a certain exaltation of
well-being or distinct uneasiness
Is required. In the hypnotic state
certain subjects have a more or
less distinct perception of their
internal organs and can exert cer
tain action over them. In fact,
they can modify at will all the
functions of the “vegetative” life,
for instance, the beating of the
heart. The fact shows that the
brain in certain states of activity
can act on the organio functions.
If there is a nervous current from
the brain to the organs there is
also, perhaps, a contrary current

Cromer, Llebault, and others,
maintain that some hypnotic sub
jects perceive their internal or
gans, and even those of other per
sons with whom they are in hyp
notic relations.
Immortelles.
The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1,500 persons. The immortelles
are gathered about the beginning
of October, and come chiefly from
the arid hills in the middle and
south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their
natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white, and woven into wreaths by
special workmen in readiness for
All Saints’ and All Souls’ days,
when all good Parisians visit their
relatives’ graves. On these “fetes
des morts” the gates of the ceme
teries are beset with crowds of
dealers in immortelle wreaths,
wire crosses and bead crowns.
At Pere la Chaise alone more than
200.000 persons are calculated tc
visit the cemetery, and the sale of
Immortelle wreaths varies from
20.000 to 25,000.—Golden Penny.

POLITICAL POKER.
%iwtt«u of Great Moment Men j
mined hr the Game la the
State of Kanina.
Topeka 1b much agitated over revela
tions of draw poker in high places, and
nothing could better show than this up
roar what Inroads the civilization of the
east la making on the life of the bound
less prairies. Once upon a time, states
the Kansas City J ournal, draw poker was
to Kansas what bridge whist la to th«
parlors of the fashionable. It was prac
tised as an art, a pastime, a profession.
No ona thought then of concealing his
play of the game, but, rather. It was a
subject of pride and boasting. Indeed,
It was more than a game, for it served a<
times In the adjudication of the mosl
serious problems of state or government
▲t present the law of Kansas recog
alsee the game of chance known ai
“drawing lots” as the proper means ol
deciding all ties In elections, but form
erly draw poker was resorted to as s
more orderly means of compromising
For example, In one of the western coun
ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied
for the office of representative they
played a game of “freeze-out” to de
termine which should enjoy the office.
Again, not so many years ago, when the
senate committee on congressional ap
portionment came to a deadlock overthe
divers plana for dividing the state into
congress districts, the members ad
journed to a room In the Copeland, took
each a generous stack of chips and
played to a finish. Under the terms of
this historical game the committeeman
who lost his chips withdrew himself and
his apportionment plan from further
consideration; and when the gamewa^
reduced to two gentlemen, the one who
froze the other out fixed the plan of ap
portionment, which stands with llttl*
change as the plan of to-day.
Volumes could be written of poker In
cidents In Kansas. Once a well known
congressman, who, by the way, has reap
peared in Kansas politics, had to meet
the charge made by some overprudlsh
people that he was addicted to the game
of poker. He appealed to his political
asociates to help him out. The one who
came most energetically to his recuse
was Capt. Bill Hackney, the Winfield
statesman. “I am in a position, to state,"
certified the doughty captain, "that Mr.
Blank is less addicted to the game than
any man I ever played with.”
More elaborate but quite as effective
was the defense once made by Steve Os
born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house.
Some 12 years ago Steve was running for
reelection to the office of district Judge
in western Kansas. The pops got out a
handbill accusing him of being a "pokei
player” and circulated It widely.
IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
Comfortable Fittings of Railway
Cars for the Benefit of Snb
nrban Passengers.
Some newspaper attention has lately
been attracted to the "club cars” by
which little groups of wealthy New York
and Chicago business men Increase the
comfort of the dally trips between their
suburban homes and their city offices,
states Youth’s Companion.
Each car Is In effect a club house os
wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings of
the ordinary cars are removed, and simp
ler and more tasteful decorations are
substituted for them. Movable wicket
chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric
fans cool the air in summer. There are
dressing rooms, libraries, appartments
for the women, In short, every thing
which can contribute to the comfort of
the travelers.
The cars are open only to members oi
the group which hires them, but they
represent merely the climax of a con
stant improvement In travel, both by
water and by rail.
At the other end of the scale see the
steerage accommodations of the ocean
steamships. Persons who are familiar
only with the horrible conditions *or
which “a steerage passage” used to stand
would be astonished if they were to visit
a modern liner. More room, more light,
more privacy, better food, better sleep
ing and sanitary accommodations and
an abundance of water, both for drinking
and for bathing, are now possible even
to the poor Immigrant. The steerage
passage of to-day Is a more comfortable
mode of travel than was the second
cabin passage ten years ago. First
cabin accommodations have Improved
correspondingly. One of the newest
vessels has between 40 and 50 suites ol
rooms, each provided with Its private
bath.
What Is most needed now Is a substitu
tion of wicker or leather seats for the
unsanitary plush so dear to American,
car builders and album makers, and
greater seating capacity In street cars.
Joke on the Professor.
Once upon a time Prof. Wilson, ol
Edinburgh, wrote on the blackboard la
his laboratory:
“Prof. Wilson Informs his students
that he has this day been appointed hon
orary physician to the queen.”
In the course of the morning he had
occasion to leave the room, and found oo
his return that a student had added to
the announcement the words:
“God save the queen.”—Michigan
