LIR 244-250 Yonge Street - TORONTO COLORED SHOES. Tips on Cleaning Some of the Latest in Footgear. The vogue for colored leather boots and shoes has brought with it many more responsibilities in the matter of cleaning and renovating than was the case when black and brown leather held undisputed sway in the realm of foot- gettr. Shoes in the rich red and deep green shades which are so popular at present should always be wiped at once whenever -they are taken off if the orig- inal color is to be retained, and never left to be cleaned till the next day. They . should be placed immediately in the trees, the whole surface being then gone over with a rag, dipped in lukewarm soapsuds, until event' spot .of mud or dust is removed. 'When perfectly dry the leather should be softened by means of a reliable cream and polished with a silk handkerchief. In the case of light kid, gasoline is the best cleaning medium. The shoes should, however, in no ease be planed. into a basinful of oil, as is so , frequently and erroneously done, this treatment being apt to stain the leather; and a better method is that of dipping a rag in the gasoline and distributing it evenly over the surface. It should not be forgotten, however, in this connection that gaso- line is highly inflammable, and it should never be kept in a glass bottle, or ap- plied when lamps, gas or fires are alight. FEW LEFT HANDED. BARBERS, And Those Can't Have Their Chairs in the Middle of the Line. "0f course left-handed persons are scarce anyway," said the man who car- ries his habits of observation even into the barber's chair, "but they are mighty scarce among barbers; in fact I have seen but two or three in my experience. "But you aro sure to notice it when. you do find one. Ho does just as efficient work, but it is the way he does it that attracts your no•tiee. "The barber as a rule stands al the right of the customer while shaving him, making little trips to the baek and to the left only when necessary. Naturally, I suppose, the left-handed barber does just the opposite; he stands most of the time at your left. "For that reason you won't find a left-handed barber in the middle of a line of barbers. His chair hass to stand at one end or the other so that he won't bump into the right-handed man next to him. • "Like most left-handed • persons his. right hand is less clumsy than the left hand of right-handed persons usually is. Heshaves you with either hand, but prefers the left. He strops a razor just as a right-handed man does, however, and that is, about the only point of similarity." c.O A Woman's Sympathy.

Something .unusual in the animal king- dom has just been killed by Prince Ed- ward. hunters and brought home, It is a deer pure white in color, save for two small black spots back of its ears. The animal is a fine looking stag and weighs about 200 pounds. It has a magnificent pair of antlers. The hunters were reti- cent as to which member of the camp captured this very unusual speries, but it is understood. that Grant Spragne, of Big Island, was the lucky shot. The ani- mal was found in the northern part of Hustings or Lesuiox and Addington. .Another unusual hill mtule'by ons of the hunters was a black fox, now a very rare animal, whose skin is very valuable. —Piston correspondence Toronto Globe,.

Mr, Wesche has been studying insects with the microscope, and among other things has made interesting observe, tions- on their food. A worker bee, for example, was found' to have, its ab- domne full of severed species of pollen. The inference is thatit had visited sev- eral species of flower in a single jour- ney.
