Many a matt has ruined himself lookin,i through the bottom of a tumlder. The sea of matrimony is often distat l l by “ squalls ” The literary style of nrking fi r a slhe of ham at dinner is, I'll thank you for a elegant extract from Bacon. The man who is fond of puddings ami pies places himself fearfully in the pown of his wife.

An honest Dutchman, on being asked how ofteu he shared, said, “Dree dimes a week, every day but Soontuy—Deu I sliafe every tuy.” They dress coo! out west. A young lady, being asked if she would wear t hat bonnet to church, replied, she wouldn't wear anything else ! Snooks says, “The prettiest sewing machine in the world is about seventeen years old, with sh< rt sleeves, low neck dress, and gaiter boots on.’’ Dodd snys the difference between com - ’ ting a girl and old maid, is just, the diff erence between eating a plump juicy grape and a shrivelled up raison.

The sole is made entirely of gutta percha, the shoe otherwise being like the ordinary leather-made. The sole is applied to the upper portion, when stretched over the last, is punctured by a uunch, and the gutta percha, in a soil ■ tale, is then pressed, by mechanical means upon this mrer sole ; the ira'etial i forced through ‘he punch holies, and -he shoe is then held together “s if it had beyri pegged though much more secure v fi.r the gutta peicha fills entirely the - urirh holes and even loin s a soil ofiiv ,.| liend (-n ‘he inside ol the -ole.
