I MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Power's at War for “Bangor’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 j
in large quantities and the earli
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 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
gar 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
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
; the neighborhood of Bangor. All
| moccasins are made of a specially
I 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
ings, and that is a strong point in
! its favor. For keeping the feet
I warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocoa
Bin leather still comes from the
place of its origin, rawtucuet,
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, bat are
made from soft elk skin, are in
greatdemand at home and abroad,
aud are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
l Bangor sends large quantities. It
now seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
finding armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD
Hir Crew Made a Brave Start, Bui
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
i
—
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one ia
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
j ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England,
j While she was building her crew
I were also in England practicing,
in otner ironciaus now to arive
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,
I for she steamed out finety. 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
j 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
j 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 ttat unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.
Timber for Cigar-Boxes.
Practically all the timber used
tor cigarboxes comes from Cuba.
ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans field Vegetable in High Es
teem Many Years Before
Christ.
Of all food plants there is none which
has been so long known or been pos
sessed of so distinguished a lineage a«
the asparagus. Its records reach back
almost to the beginning of authentic his
tory, and it is mentioned by the comic
poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. C.
The Romans held the vegetable in high
esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work
wrliich is still extant, “De re Rustica,”
and it treats at length of the virtues and
proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny,
in his natural history, written about
60 A. D., has much to say about it. Ha
feelingly observes: “Of all the products
of your garden your chief care should be
asparagus,” and he devotes several
chapters to Its many good qualities and
the best methods of raising it. He as
serts that the soil about Ravenna was so
favorable to its production that three
heads grown in that district had been
known to weigh a Roman pound. Thie
pound seems to have been about equal
to 11 ounces in our day, so it would ap
parently have taken four of the stalka
to have reached a pound of our weight.
The asparagus being essentially a
southern plant, it Is possible that the
stock growing in Italy was of a more
vigorous growth than that of our north
ern clime. It is found all around the
shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off into four or five distinct
species besides the one ordinarily used
for edible purposes.
WON BY ORDINARY TALK.
Lack of Arm Gestures and Conversa
tional Tone Wins Heart of
Doubtful Maiden.
Congressman William H. Jackson, of
Maryland, wfas engrossed in discussing
with a number of colleagues the deca
dence of oratory, says the New York Her
ald. “Sane people are not emotional."
declared the congressman, “and the con
versational delivery of speech carries
as much weight with an intelligent
audience as does the effort of a declaim
er who indulges in brilliant periods with
an arm-swinging acompaniment.”
“You are right,” said a listener, “and
your statement reminds me of a young
lady who had two suitors. Both men
had about the same advantages and
prospects, but gossip declared that the
girl would decide in favor of the man
who was a lawyer, for he knew better
how to present and win his case. Gos
sipe erred; the lawyer was rejected.
Later it was learned from a friend in
whom the betrothed had confided her
reason for her choice.
“ ‘Harry Is convincing, but John la
Just as convincing and does not have to
move his arms every time he wants to
say something,’"
BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There is a bee ranch with more than
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
years he has kept his bees there, has
harvested about a third of a ton of
honey each season and has been at no
expense for food for his interesting and
Industrious pets. Although it is a dis
tance of two and one-half miles from
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect
loads of honey and get back to the hive
in two minutes, making a bullet-like
illgut. V* V uu* (/I v» *WW aut*vu
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated
this by Jiaving an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places in the park and
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitened
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort
Receives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Rooms Alone.
If you doubt that the nickel and quar
ter business doesn’t pay, consider the
money-making propensities of the aver
age seashore bathhouse around New
York, and make over your opinion. A
representative bathing pavilion haa
1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20
cents to rent one. On a medium hot
summer’s day some $800 are derived
from renting these rooms, for the com
partments, are used in the course of the
day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing
suits rent for 25 cents each. There
would be 8,000 of them for such a pavil
ion, which means $1,000 a day if half ol
them are rented once; and it is fair to
assume that three-fourths of the 4,000
bathers pay five cents for the use of a
comb and brush—$150. A total of near
ly $2,000, to say nothing or the proceeds
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
Indoor baths.
Italy's Emigrants.
In the past 30 years Italy has sent
more than 2,000,000 persons to the
United States, says the World's Work,
A number of these have returned in ths
course of time, taking with them care
fully hoarded savings. A very large
majority have remained in the United
Btates.
Japs Drink Much Water.
A gallon of water a day is drunk by
every Japanese who practices, as nearly
all do, the gymnastics known as jiujitsu.
Cuba’s Population.
The population of Cuba is now over
1,685,000, which is an increase of more
Ilian ten per cent, since 1900.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
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 b!ng 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 Kimhall 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
t'ruiu any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a eery moderate price, quality contidtied
The Kimball "ystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of ail.
