The expert shoemaker is in his way a sort of Sherlock Holmes: he can tell by looking at a customer's shoes sonieth'ng about whero the cub. tomcr lives, and this not by mud on the shoes or tho absence of it, or any such commonplace evidence as that, but by the manner in which the shoes show wear. Hut he is not in fallible. Here, for instance, is a wnmnn wlio wears the soles of her shoes very thin up at their forward end. nt their very tips, there, at the toe; anti 10 ner: "You live In the country," says me snoe cxert. "No," says the woman, "I live in tho city. Why did you think I lived in the country?" "Btvause your shoe are worn so at the toes. 1 thought wm walked on miicaiiam roail." Ho here the cxtert slipped, misled in this case by not making due al lowance for a habit of these shoes' wearer; but usually he can toll. AMONG THE PAPUANS. Only ten miles from Fort .Moresby, in rapua, or New Guinea, the head quarters of British administration, a white planter was murdered. The crime was traced to a Papuan, who had built a new house and wanted to paint it with a mixture of red clay and cocoa nut oil. According to tribal custom he was not entitled to paint his house in that style until he had killed at least one man. So he killed him. A Papuan living near one of the stations of the Ixmdou Missionary society was brought be fore the local magistrate charged with having kicked his wife in tho face. His defense was that he was in a hurry to go to school and his wife was slow in bringing him his reading book. THE COPPER 8UPPLY. Though copper is of world-wide distribution, and the United States alone has over 3,000 copper mining companies, an American geologist oints out that the world's supply is practically derived from less than '250 mines. This includes only lo- alitics supplying 100,000 iraunds or more annually. Of such mines, the United States contains 59; Japan, 38; Chili, 31, and Australia, 28; but three of these countries produce only 30,000 tons each. .Mexico ranks next to the United States in produc tion, while Spain ranks third, hive great mines yield three-fifths of the total production, and one mine alone contributes one-fifth.

A prop osition to create an office of Street Commissioner (whose duty would be looking after the street work) and take one man off the police force in lieu thereof was the cause of con tention. When I was young, people had bad colds, soaked their feet in hot water and took a few draughts of catnip and got well. Now they have lagrippe, take quinine and feel sick all the summer. Then they had sore throat, wrapped a piece of mast-fed bacon in an old woolen stocking, tied it around the neck at night and went to work next day. Now they have tonsilitis, a sugical operation and two week in the house, Then they had stomach ache and took castor oil and recovered. Now tney have appendicitis, a week in the hospital and six feet due east and west and six feet perpendicular. They worked then, they labor now. In those days they wore under clothes: now they wear lingerine. Then, they went to restaurant; uowj I Vi . i r nn In till. .iff. Tli.n tliirl broke a leg ; now they fracture a limb.

After the horseless carriage, the playerless piano, and all the other less things that modern invention has devised, New York is to have a waterless restaurant, and of all places in the world, it is to be on the site of the old Saranac Hotel, on Broadway, near Forty-second street. John L Murry, backed by a syndi cate of wealthy tobacco manufactur ers, has obtained a 21 years' lease of the building, and his plans are elaborate and unique. In the new restaurant all one will have to do will be give the order upon entering. Then the most inti mate and confidential conversations may be pursued with immunity from the eager ears of the servitors, for at the end of each course all one will have to do will be to press a button. Then, in Arabian Knights fashion the center of the table will sink through the floor into the serving room-beneath and presently will rise again with the new dishes. The table has been pattened by Mr. Murray, who has just returned from Europe, where he searched for ideas, and the plan will be made practic able by having the kitchen nex' to the top floor, but connected with the serving rooms on an the other floor by means of a dumb waiter system operated by compressed air. Big Trees. The tallest tree in the world is the Australian eucalyptus, reaching a total altitude of 480 feet. The biggest are the mammoth trees of California, some of which are 276 to 376 feet in height and 108 feet in circumference at the base. From measurements of the rings it is be lieved that some of thes trees are from 2,000 to 2,500 years eld. The oldest tree in the world is said to be on the island of Kos, off the coast of Asia Minor. It is several thousand years old, but just how many no one has dared to say. The tree is carefully preserved by a wall of masonry around It, and the trunk it thirty feet in circumference. Vaulx Cavitt Drowned. It is reported here on good au thority that Vaulx Cavitt, an old Hickman boy, fell out of a skiff in- .to the Mississippi river, Monday ! .H.nlnn l.ni.1 .! a'aLhI. ...I i.. v.li4lg HUUUl auk u , clUU WilS drowned. The drowning occurred at St. John's Bayou, about three quarters of a mile above New Mad rid, Mo. While the information is meager as to the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate affair, a telegram received here Tuesday confirms the report of the young man's death. He is said to have been in a skiff with two other men the latter be ing intoxicated and when Cavitt j fell from the boat they were unable to rescue him, but rowed back to a shanty boat and told a fisherman what had happened. The fisherman immediately put out several hooks and lines below where Cavitt sank, but the body was not found until late Wednesday evening. Rivers Cavitt, brother of the deceased, left last night for New Madrid to take charge of the remains, which will be brought to this city tonight via Cairo. The funeral vill take place from the undertaking establishment of t h e Hickman Furniture Co., at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.. Services will be held at the cemetery by Rev. J. W. Waters.
