Some were seven or eight feet square, with the hack premises closed from sight; ; me w re twenty or twenty-five feet wide, reaching back thirty or forty feet. Perhaps an average-sized shop, in tt fashionable neighborhood, was ft bout fourteen feet wide and twenty- two feet deep. It jvas open, of course, to the street, with no shop-front, but generally there was a counter along one side, and another at the back. Thera w.:s almost invariably an oblong opening through the roof, to admit light and tiir, unclosed to the sky in ! summer, but with provision for a glazed light in winter, in the poorer class of hoiis. s this skylight could be shut by drtiwin; a cover over it. T. a certain extent the wares were cl -pht, ed. but not tis iu our windows. Potters and hardware had a better dis- |)];iv than soft goods: food was exhib- j itsd iu open trays, or was hung up.

Twenty years ago the calf boot industry was a lead ing one in Xew England. Whole towns were studded w itli factories which pro duced calf boots exclusively. I ora dec ade the sale has been gradually fall ing off. and to-day it is of hardly any importance. A few manufacturers of shoes include boots as a specialty, but the demand is too light to amount to much. When calf boots were in vogue manufacturers consulted the partial ities of the cowboys, to whom juice was a secondary consideration. 1 be legs were frequently corded with silk stitching. The star and crescent and other fanciful ornamentations were in laid on the legs of the l«>ots: tin re were high heels and the boots were striking specimens of meehanieal art. The soles were inlaid with eojiper. zinc and brass nails. The cow boy -no longer {iay fifteen or twenty dollars for a pair of boots.

Where tin re were twenty factories producing boots exclusively there is now not one. Kveil the farmer - are using heavy shoes instead of boots, and if it become., a tie sity to wear long legged boots they buy rubbers. Twenty years ago the entire product of Salem and IVabody was heavy boot and hrogan leather. To-day there are less than half a dozen tanners making it. brogans and plowshoos are indis- jiensabli,'in many sect ions of tin* coun try. but there are comparatively few exclusive inanufaetnrers i.f these now. Tin* t’reedmoor, Doin I‘t*dro, English ties and (yeole eongres , are sunjilant- itig them. The decline in the consump tion of calf boots atl'eets the tannersof calfskins. It is a question wliat is to be done with heavy skins. 'The tan- ner-. must necessarily buy more or less of them. They cannot select light and medium weights exclusively, and if they tan them tliey feel no certainty of being able to dispose of them in the finished state. Then 1 is, nevertheless, a use in this world for whalevr b.good for anything, and there w ill be some way of disposing of heavy calf skins, though for tlie moment it appears dilli- eult to point out the direction into which they will be moved.

A FAMOUS YEAR. n Who Hero Nuimleou at School Was Miulo the leader of the Sport*. 1’mf. \V. M. Sloant* tell ninny inter esting anecdotes of the school days of Napoleon in his new Life of the Little Corporal, in Century. Writing of the time when Napoleon was at Kriennc, I’rof. Sloiine says: Each of the hun dred and fifty pupils had n small garden pot assigned to him. Kuona- par; d'.'VelojH'd ;i jiiission for Ids own. r ml, annexing by force the neglected plots of his two neiglilmrs, created for himself ii retreat, the solitude of which was insured by a thick and lofty hedge planted about it. To this citadel, the sanctity of which he protected with a fury at times half insane, he was wont to retire in the fair weather of all sea sons with whatever books he could se cure. In the companionship of these he passed hapjiy, pleasant and fruitful hours. His youthful patriotism had been intensified by the hatred ho now felt for French school boys, and through them for France. "1 can never forgive my father,” he once cried, "for the share he had iu uniting Corsica to France.” 1’aoli be came Ids hero, and tin* favorite sub jects of his reading were the mighty deeds of men and peoples, especially in antiquity. Such matter he found abundant in "Plutarch's Lives.” More over, ids degradation by the school au thorities at once created a favorable sentiment among his companions, which not only counteracted the effect of the punishment, but gave him a sort of compensating leadership in their games. The well-known episode of tlie snow forts illustrates the bent of his nature. When driven by storms to abandon Ids garden haunt, and to associate in tlie public hall with tlie other hoys, he often instituted sports in which oppos ing camps of Greeks and Persians, or of Homans and < urthuginiuns, fought until Hie uproar brought down the authorities to end the oonllict. <>n one occasion he proposed the sport, common enoug-h elsewhere, but not so familiar then in France, of building snow forts, of storming and defending them, and if lighting witli snowballs as weapons. The proposition was accepted, and the preparations wore made under his di rection with scientific zeal; the en trenchments, forts, bastions and re doubt- were the admiration of tlie neighborhood. For weeks tin* mimic warfare went on, Hour, a pa He, always fn command, being sometimes the be- sic, 'i r and as often the besieged. Such was he aptitude, such the resources, and aeli 1 in-commanding power which he h"Wi d in either role that the wln- U r v,a always remembered in the an* mils of * he school. - i- S K V >i4V \|fu- f. <>’ !, A ii'.i.lj Mr. Oeorqe IK.
