Mr. Silas was a civil war veteran. fwm iWAvcart Vice-Preside- dHO OT many cobblers of the present day know that they have a patron , saint, but they have. Saint Crispin was his name and he held forth way back in the third century preaching Christianity In the daytime and making shoes at night. Some said he stole the leather, while others declared that he got It from heaven. The former assertion was probably instigated by the less saintly cobblers, for St. Crispin sold his shoea very cheap. The shoe trade had quite a high station In the old days. George Fox, the first of the Quakers, was a shoemaker. Hans Sachs, the most eminent poet of Germany, was a cobbler. So was William Gifford, the famous editor of the Quarterly. Shoes, as we know them, are purely a western Institution. But there is a reason and Incidentally a queer Juxtaposition. A Christian takes his hat off when he enters a church or a house; an Asiatic shows his reverence by taking his shoes off. Obviously it would be quite a nuisance to stoop down and unlace your shoes every time you called on a friend or went to church. So the Asiatics wear shoes that can be kicked off as easily as we can remove our hats. .Some are made with straw soles and sell for about ten cents a pair; others are made of wood; while still others are made of leather of various kinds. When Bhoes are reduced to such simple proortions. it is but natural to expect some rather crude effects. Peasants often cut strips of wood, fasten a thong about the big toe and the board and trudge along as comfortably as the man who shoes of America, and in some buys the ready-madcases even more so. Another scheme .is to use a block of wood and stick a knob In It so ft will rise between the big toe and its neighbor and by a dexterous and practiced use of the toe muscles, it answers very well Indeed. In Prlttany the making of shoes Is a village occupation. The whole family chips in on the work, from the six year old child to the great grandfather, and between them they make the most of the wooden shoes that are on the market. An American boy would probably fail down and skin his knees if he were to try to play in wooden shoes, but the little Dutch and Belgian boys romp about the streets to their heart's content in them and never even drop them off. We have been weuring practically the same kind of Bhoes for bo many years that we are liable lo forget that they varied in styles as radically as womens hats do now. During the time of Edward IV. lr. England, the parliament had to pass a law regulnt!mcte.the length of shoes. . Some of them Princes long as to be dangerous. pry ore them even two feet In length, sotilV, stuffed out with straw. One worthy with fh-e- nda Scotch king doubled his back and attached the points to his belt. But of course that style was in vogue before the days of trolley cars. Then, in the next generation when the law prevented long, pointed shoes, they began to broaden and this continued until they had to pass another It .was at about this law to stop Uie broadening. time and later that chopplnes came in. These were high supports under the soles, lifting the Wearers some six or eight Inches nearer the clouds. e mcMfs cJIPMA It was from this queer style that the high heel developed, only In those days the heel was several Inches higher than those now worn. Of course, the smallest shoes of all are worn by Chinese women. Some of these are only two Inches long. The present empress is trying to break tip the cruel custom of mlsshapenlng the feet Probably in another generation theae diminutive shoes will be a curiosity, but up to a few years ago, a Chinese girl whose feet were four inches long found It a difficult proposition to get married, while the parents of the girl with the two-incAs foot was overrun with applicants. a compensation to these Chinese women for the tortures they underwent during the time their feet were being maltreated they took great pride in embroidering beautiful designs upon their shoes. Very few shoes for women are- - on sale in China, as nearly all women make their own. In the northern countries, coarse leather boots are the customary footwear, partly on account of the cold, but principally because a low shoe Is of too shallow draft to navigate the poor roads. A largo pereentage of these boots are of home manufacture, roughly stitched and crude In appearance. Just why Bhoes for poor persons came Into vogue is a question that remains unanswered. They originated In the Grecian sandal and have developed with the increasing tenderness of feet to the heavy leather affair we all know. Yet an Irish lassie who goes about barefooted all her days lias a natural sole upon her foot from a quarter to a half Inch thick. And she does not have corns, either. But Americans need not complain of the institution.' Ve made 242,110,035 pairs of shoes In 1905, err a pair for every inhabitant of America, France, Germany. Austria, and a few of the smaller countries. The value of the industry was All tffat was for one year's output, or more money than there was In the world when the first sandal was made. The American shoe is now . walking, the streets of every capital of the world; It Is In the shops In every center of trade; and even on the thresholds of far eastern temples, the American shoe lies beside the crude wooden sandnls, and late comers stop a moment to examine it and try It on, If no one Is looking. One of the greatest problems which modern civilization has had to face Is the clothing of l feet. In the days centuries upon centuries ago. when man was only a wild beast of the Jungle, lie wore no shoes and therefore was not .bothered when every part of the with corns. But body Is covered except the hands and head, man's wearing of shoes has become a necessity. Thus some of the functions of modern civilizations' "pedes are disappearing. no Toenails, longer being an actual need among tribes which wear shoes, are disappeai Ing and a scientist a few years ago declared that within 100 years there will be no toenails.
