Peter MILESTONE of Arkansas was
once travelling on horseback through
the Interior OF the State, and called
one evening to stay all night at 8
little log house near the road, where
entertainnent and Postonlce were
kept. Two other strangers were
there and the mail carrier rode up
about dark. Supper being over, the
mail carrier and the three gentlemen
were invited into small room furn.
ished with n good fire and two beds
which were to accommodate the -four
persons for the night. The mail car
rier was little shabby, dirty. looking
wretch, which none OF the gentlemen
liked the idea of sleeping with. Pc.

asked:
"Where do you sleep to night, my

Cure for the Feet.

Many are careless in the care of
their feet. II they wash them once
q month, they think they are doing
well. They do not consider that the
largest pores Of the system are 10.
Gated in the bottom of the foot, and
that the most offensive matter is dis.
charged through these pores. They
wear stockings from the beginning to
the end OF the week without change.
The stockings become completely
saturated with offensive matter. 1t
is sickening to be in the presence OF
such persons. Ill health is generated
by such treatment OF the feet. The
pores are not only repellants, but
absorbants, and this fetid matter to
4 greater or less extent, is tlken back
into the system. The feet should be
wash daily MS well as the arm pits
from which an offensive odor is also
emitted, unless daily ablution is
practiscd. Cleanliness is next to
godlincss. A man or woman can
neither feel well nor be well, unless
frequent bathing ispractised. Stock.
ings should not he worn more than O
day or two a time. They may be
worn for one day, and then aired aud
summed and worn another day; but to
wear the same stockings for week
is not doing justice t, yonr feet, nor
your health, nor your conscience;
for who can hnvp n cloor conscinru
in foul body?-Rut Al World. .

An incident recently occurred in q
town on the Connecticut river, which
illustrates the danger OF practical
joking, and served at the same time
its purpose Of fun and railery. p
A certain barber happening in a
store, q clerk who wished to play the
barber trick, offered him bottle of
bears oil. The latter did not want
it, hut being over urged took it and
paid sorit. i'e .att Hau.
On his opening It in his shop the
oil was found TO be lamp oil, with a
very rank smell. Nothing was said
Of the shave the clerk had practiced,
and the barber shaved along as usual
until the matter had time to be for
gotten.
A few evenings since the clerk
went into the BARRIERS shop to be
shaved. preparatory to ball. After
the harvest to the thick, beardy skin
was reaped, the clerk Strengthened
himself up, and exclaimed:

The barber assured the cnraged
customer that he had put bears oil
on his head, and from the very bottle
he had sold him. Fit was poor oil,
it was the clerks fault. ..........
There was no resisting this, and
the matter was settled by refunding
the money paid for the oil, and sham.

The clerk went to the ball, but the
rank lamp oil stuck to his hair, and
the snuGs ofthose who came near him
showed that the barber was wicked
when he shampooed him.
