HOW THE DUDE IS SOMETIMES DE CEIVED IN HIS FOOT GEAR. Siiocs Which Are Made of the Material Called Patent Leather No* Always What They Seem—The Way the Gspaisie Ar tlele Is Made. Going down on a Broadway car tho other day was a fashionable young man. wearing patent leather shoes. It was during one of the brief, cool spells of weather. Seating himself in one corner of the car, lie proceeded apparently to warm his feet by rubbing them together. While this may have been all right forthe feet, it seemed rather hard on the patent leather, as the heel of one shoe was con tinuously rubbing and scratching the vamp of the other With such usage the pair of shoes will wear about four weeks, when they will begin to crack Mr. Dudelet vvill return them to the retailer, who. in turn, will return them to the manufacturer M A KINO PATENT CALF. A shoe manufacturer who was spoken to bv a News reporter told the story of a retailer who had ordered a lot of patent leather shoes which were made and shipped to him. Upon receiving tho shoes lie wrote to the manufacturer ask ing him to warrant the shoes not to crack. The only reply tVe manufac turer could make was that if the retailer would warrant the usage of the shoe iie could then warrant the leather. This the retailer declined doing, and so the shoes came back. Now in order to know why the manu facturer could not warrant the shoe let us learn something of the property of patent leather. There is quite a differ ence between patent leather and patent calf. Very little patent calf is now made in this country for the reason that the country does not grow calfskins suitable for its tannage. To make a good patent calf a skin of peculiar qual ities is required. These qualities are usu ally found in small skins. The (iber must be fine and the skin not too heavy There must be no sores or cuts in the skin, the shoulder not too light nor the head heavy When tanned and before the japan is applied the skin is stretched so us to take from it as much as possible all tendency to expand in patent calf there may bo said to be two bodies, the calfskin and the japan. The japan is not so elastic as the calf skin. and if the calfskin should stretch a half inch the japan would only stretch say a quarter inch or less, and its body drawn apart just that much it is for this reason that calfskins are stretched as much as possible, otherwise the shoe would he sure to crack with the most careful wearing if not in the lasting. The japan is applied to the llesii side of the skin, and if there be any imper fection in the skin it will show in the roughness of the japan when finished. The quality of the japan is known by its jet blackness and brilliancy. If it is dull and bluish it will have a ten dency to peel, blister or crack in propor tion to the dullness and bluishness. Japan has a tendency to expand or eon tract from heat or cold, so extremes must Ik* avoided, or the japan will crack when one goes from a heated room to a cold one. The warm foot being in con tact with the calf tends to keep that part of the leather warm, while the cold air strikes the japan, which lias no pro tection. WHERE IT COME3 FROM. in cutting patent leather the cutter first examines the japan side for any imperfections. Turning the skin the quality is judged from the .-rain side. Patent leather is always cut japan Hide downward. Care must be t -1‘an to avoid the "hips” and coarse parts of th* skin and skirts On the japan side the cutter looks for what ho terms "measles. ” These are hue blisters sometimes no than pin !tc*«ul$. Occasionally a hair from the japanner s brush has ho » i ime embodied in the japan The greater part and the liest of the patent leather imported into this country froui abroad comes from Worms, on the German Rhino. There patent calf has l**on prepared for generations nud the workers have attained such skill in its manufacture that the French, with all their ingenuity, have not been »M*. r<» SCHLEY COUNTY HEWS. reacu me same aegree of perfection. One factory alone there employs over 3,000 men Common patent leather is really an imitation of the patent calf, which was the only article formerly sold under the name of ••patent” leather As patent calf costs mueh more than patent . . leather , . the retailer •, may , know that when a shoe is offerer I him at a very close iigure there is .lunger that though tho surface be the brightest o» japan, the body may he of the drv grain leather, which lorms the hasisof ordinary patent leather When made up m the shoe patent leather cannot be distinguished m ap pearance from patent calf, unless one be an expert. An importer of patent calf, or other person w ho is conversant with the peculiarities of patent calf, can tell its quality the minute he looks at a shoe. No rule can lie laid down to judge of patent calf or patent leather when in a shoe, it is one of the things only to he acquired by experience. Just as the dia mond expert or jeweler can tell the qual ity and value of his goods at a glance, so can the expert in patent leather tell the value of his. In this matter of using patent leather in place of patent calf the retailer is at die mercy, or rather the honesty, of tho manufacturers.—New York News. Moral Effects of Amesthetics. From Japan comes a story that sets one thinking. An old lady, GO years of age, was attacked by a disease which was curable only by a severe surgical operation, which she professed herself willing to undergo. When the operation was to take place the operator’s assist ant prepared to administer chloroform. The old lad}' asked what was the use of this medicine, and on learning that its function was only to deaden pain, she resolutely refused to have anything tc do with it. To evade pain was in her estimation despicable and cowardly, un worthy ., ot the old 1 ) Japanese , spirit winch enabled a man to compose a poem in the agonies of the happy dispatch. She would undergo the operation, but with out chloroform. So she lay down on the operating table and had four deep seated abscesses removed and twenty stitches put in. without making a movement or uttering a groan. When ail was over, and the doctor asked her if she had suffered much pain, she opened her eyes and answered quietly that the cutting of live flesh was never without suffering. That was her only comment on what she had under gone, and she wished there and then to write letters to reassure her anxious friends. From the point of view of nar row common sense, this old lady was very foolish to insist on enduring pain she could have avoided; hut the idea on j which her refusal to take the an ms tiielic was based—that to evade pain that comes for good reason is cowardly ' —has something noble about it. Perhaps we who have ether every time a tooth is extracted err on the other side, We are so used to evading pain that we look on it not merely as a misfortune, but as an injustice; and the habit of thus regarding physical suffering may affect our views on mental distress as well, and teach us t hat it is legitimate to get out of every sort of trouble. Mrs Lynn Linton has lately argued that our indulgence in amesthetics had an enervating eifect, and not without at least a show of reason. The idea of shirking pain of any kind is apt to weak en the moral fiber. Without setting up the ascetic ideal or meeting trouble half way, it is sometimes necessary to accept the fact that pain is a thing to he under gone without any anodyne, and to teach ourselves to bear it as quietly as may be. —The (Lon ion) Hospital. Relation# of the Senses, Dr. Urbanschitsch, of Vienna, has for some time past been engaged in a series of experiments on tho mutual action of tho sense organs, and the results he has obtained are most curious. The senses of sight and hearing were shown by these experiments to be to some extent de pendent on each other. Colored plates were placed at a distance where the col ors could scarcely be distinguished, hut on the production of various sounds the colors were more readily recognized, tho colors becoming the more distinct the higher the pitch of tho same. Printed matter could also be read in a dimly lighted room much better if the ears were simultaneously employed in receiv ing sounds than in complete silence. In like manner the activity of tho eyes aid in the recognition of sounds. The tick ing of a watch was found to he more easily heard in the light with the eyes open than in the dark with the eyes 1 closed. Various colors of light were found to vary in their effects upon the auditory 1 organs, red and green strengthening and bl ue and green weakening them. In the case °* t; iste and smell corresponding elfects were observed. Light in general, 1 and particularly red and green. heightens tlleir sensitiveness, while bin ■ and yd ^v, and still mow darkness, reduce it. j If 18 * x » ,owtl to rt f " r f rp ™ j t ” l n Ll ac, not meidy '' dh Lie . << (j t i< Unique, hut \\itb i *“ s u ’ fcaila ».
