ABOUT SHOES.

Shall we say word about shoes?
and that nowhere in Europe are they
so well made as here? Our mothers sent
to Paris for their bottines, and some Of
their daughters, as if unaware that
times had changed, 20 to the cost and
pains of sending thither now; but were
these same mothers and daughters liv-
ing in Paris, they would do far better
to send for their shoes to America. OF
English or British shoes it is useless to
speak. Apart from other external
characteristics, one might distinguish
an Englishman instantly by glancing
at his feet. Is it the construction OF
those feet which make them appear diff
ferent from those of other nations 1?
We are inclined to think the happy re-
suit is due both to the shape of the foot
and the shape of the shoe. The foot
is minus an instep, the shoes are clum-
sy and awkward. Ladies shoes in
England are wide at the toes, snug
over the instep, and half-low over the
ankles, with the ugliest "tip' magma
BILE. They make the foot look large
and fiat. As rule, Americans have
well-shaped feet, and since the art of
making shoes has been carried to great
perfection in this country, they show to
advantage in comparison with those of
Europeans. The pretty little kid
boots Of children it is an impossibility
to find on the other side of the ocean.
AS to the size, shape and position of
heels-high heels tip the body forward
and are great aids to the Grecian bend ;
they tend also to make the feet look
smaller and more arched, and as a COM
pensation, ruin the feet aud the spine
AS to shape, the moderately -tapering
French heels are becoming, while the
exaggerated French heel, formed al
most like an inverted cone, and placed
nearly under the middle of the foot,
gives the latter kind of negro shape
the leg, instead of being planted in the
rear of the foot, appearing as fixed in
the center. On such pegs, placed in
the middle of the sole, the deformed
foot bulges out in all directions. Many
ladies have also a mistaken idea that
wearing very short shoe makes the
foot look better, or at least smaller
whereas the result is a stumpy, uncom-
Portable appearance, not graceful one

FURNACE HEAT.

The warming of houses by hot air
furnaces presents many advantages,
among which are the avoidance of
draughts, the better distribution of the
heat throughout the halls and rooms of
the building, the continual introduce
ton of fresh air from without and the
confinement of the coal and ashes to
the cellar. On the other hand, there
are certain disadvantages attending the
use of this method of warming which
have SO important a bearing on the
health of the persons subjected to it
that they cannot be disregarded with
IMMUNITY.
Prominent among these disadvanta-
ges is the dryness of such artiticially
heated air. 1t is true that the cham
Der of the furnace may contain q water
pan, and this may be filled with water,
but in the great majority Of instances
it is too small to accomplish the pur-
pose for which it is intended. Hot dry
air is consequently inhaled, and, com.
ing in contact with the delicate mem,
branes Of the air-passages, removes too
large a proportion Of moisture from
J them, and thereby produces an irrita

OF 4 CUP OF COFFEE.

IL has been truthfully said that even
in these enlightened days, and in the
lands most blessed by the innu-
ence of civilization, there are thousands
upon thousands of persons born into
the world who live long lives and then
60 down into their graves without ever
having tasted Il good cup of coffee.
There are many reasons for this, and
the principal one, Of course, must be
that so few persons know how to make
good coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of recipes and directions pub
lished which teach us how to make
good coffee by boiling it; by not boil
ing it; by combining the essence and ar.
oma by making it in an open vessel /;
by sleeping it; by not sleeping it by
clearing it; by not clearing it by
grinding it fine by grinding it coarse
and by many other methods opposed to
each other and to all these. Now we
do not intend to try to tell anybody
how to make good coffee, but we Just
wish to say word about the treatment
Of the coffee after it is made. And on
this treatment depends its excellence,
brew it as you may. The rule is sim.
pie: Rerer decam Il. Whatever else
you do about it, bring it to the table in
the vessel in which it was made. A
handsome urn or, coffee-pot is the
grave of good coffee. Of course, lift is
considered more desirable to have the
pot look we'll than to have the coffee
taste well, we have no more to say.
But when hot coffee is emptied from
one vessel into another, the kitchen
ceiling generally receives that essence
laden vap,v> which should have found
its way into the cups on the breakfast
table. And one word about these cups.
When the coffee enters them it should
find the milk or the cream already there
BY observing these rules, ordinary cof-
fee, made in almost any way, is often
very palatable indeed.-Home and So

JERUSALEM.

In the twelfth century the Sultan
Saladin, an Arab hero, captured the
city, threw down the Cross, and puri-
fed the holy places with rose-'oater.
This prince-a man OF great bravery,
sagacity, and success, restored the for
tifications ofJerusalcm on the approach
of the Crusaders under Richard C9ur
de Lion (A,D., 1922. After the death
of Saladin it fell successfully into the
hands of every invader Of Syria-Mam,
eluke, Christian and Turk. In the six.
teenth century its walls were rebuilt by
the Turkish Sultan Soliman the Mag
nifcent CAD. 1922, whose inscription
remains over the Jaifa gate. Even in
the present century this "City of Vic.
issitudes" has changed masters, falling
into the possession of Mehemet Ali, the
Pasha of Egypt, in his Syrian invasion
CAD, 1922. From him, however it
was wrested, with all his Syrian con-
quests ca. d. lS4D, and restored to the
Ottaman government, under which it
now rests.

Temple, city, and country, have been

ton which frequently causes disease of
the throat and lungs.
When diseases of the throat and
lungs already exist, it is of the utmost
importance that this deficiency of mois-
ture should be corrected. The remedy
is very simple and may be applied in a
variety Of ways: LIST. BY increasing the
surface of the water-pan in the fur
mace chamber, or by adding one or
more pans, placing them at little dis
lance over each other. I'd. Byspread-
ing wet towel at a short distance in
front Of the hot air register, and dip
ping its lower edge into water placed in
shallow tin vessel. 3D.. To throw
steam into the air of the room by plac.
ing tin vessel containing water on a
small gas stove, or at a height of six or
eight inches over the lighted gas burner.
Another and perhaps more serious
difficulty is the escape of the gases Of
combustion from the fire-box into the
air chamber. To prevent this, the ut
most care should be taken at he COM
Increment of the winter to close all
seams and cracks in the iron work with
fire. and remove all the SCOT
and ashes from the radiator and pipes.
Even when this has been properly done
these insideously poisonous gases will
still find their way through the red hot
iron of the fire box. This can only be
prevented BY the use of soap-stone or
friedrich lining, by which the iron is
kept below red heat. The lining will
obstruct the free passage Of the heat,
but the loss from this cause may be
remedied by increasing the surface of
the radiator in the hot air chamber

A REAL LADY.

There is person whose harmonious
voice gives to her conversation charm
found equally in her manners. She
knows how to speak and keep silence
how delicately to engage herselfto you,
and use only proper subjects Of CONVEX
sation. Her words are happily chosen,
her language is pure, her raillery car
esses, and her criticism does not wound.
Far from contradicting with the igno-
rant assurance of fool, she seems to
seek in your company good sense or
truth. She INDUCES in dissertations AZ
little as she does in disputes she de.
lights to lead q discussion which she
stops when she pleases. OF an equa-
bic temper, her air is affable and gay.
Her polteness has nothing forced in
it f; her welcome is never servile she
reduces respect to nothing more than
delicate shade she never tires you,
and leaves you satisfied with her and
yourself. Attracted to her sphere by
an inexplicable power, you find her wit
and grace impressed upon the thing
with which she sounds herself; every
thing there pleases the sight, and while
there you seem to breathe the fresh air
of the country. In intimacy, she sedu-
ces you by tone of fresh simplicity.
She is natural. She never makes an
effort at luxury or display. Her senti-
ments are simply rendered because they
are true. She is frank, without offend
ing any ones self-love. She accepts
men as God made them, pardoning
their faults and ridiculous qualities
compromising all ages, and vexing
herself about nothing, since she has
tact enough to foresee everything.

TALK AND TALKERS,

Talk is the music of life. The abil-
ity to talk is one of the most pleasing
of any we possess. The power to
weave our thoughts into webs, to spin
and wind them into skeins, to do them
up in all sorts Of ways to suit all sorts
of circumstances, to answer all sorts of
cnds-is astonishing and agreeable.
Man alone talks. 1t is his most dis
tinguishing characteristic. Animals
seem to understand each other, but do
not talk. Expression is not talking,
though the Chinese say of an express
i've face, it talks"
The ability to talk is susceptible of
cultivation. 1t may be trained till talk
ing shall become a most amiable ac-
complishment till it shall adorn ones
character, beautify ones life, and hallow
ones intercourse with his fellow beings.

and thoughtful use of appropriate Ian

When takers talk to good purpose,
seeking to be agreeable and express
well their ideas, they cultivate their
ability to talk. The best takers have
been the delight Of their age and al.
ways will be. There is real charm
in talk. People always love to gather
round good talker. Good talk does
not consist altogether in the ex-
preston of good ideas, though this is
one essential. 1t is good ideas, chaste,
ly and agreeably expressed. Good talk

is in public speaking. 1t is not pre-

If the tenors ever grew old there
would be dash of pathos in the pub

will awaken. But they never do.
There are no sere and yellow leaves in

REARING CHILDREN.

1t is n settled matter of demonstra-
ton that about one fourth of all the
children born die in their infancy. If
statistical tables are correct, the NOR
tality is greater iu civilized society than
among semi barbarians or savages. 1t
is not to be denied that the Indians
lose large number of their papooses
before the second year; but not in the
ratio of given population in q civil
lied community where all the applian.
ces, conveniencies and knowledge are in
full exercise for their preservation.
The negroes of Africa and the noma-
die races in Asia loose many children
early but they appear to be more sue
cessful in their efforts to rear them than
the best informed people of civilized
Europe or America. No doubt this as
sertion may be called in question. Fig
ures are not to be disputed, however.
Fit be admitted that the manner of ev.
eryday life of millions of mothers
is injurious to their nursing
babes, one direct cause Of
the mortality among infants, never
practiced by unsophisticated out door,
open-air mothers, will be established.
Our civilized mothers bundle up their
babies too closely, and too often de-
prive them of the fresh invigorating at
mospheric air. They are wilted like
cut flowers in sitting nursery. Their
freedom is too much abridged, from a
mistaken idea that they may take cold
if exposed. The Esquimaux mother
refreshes her nude nursing in an Arc
tic snow drift. Civilization Overdoes-
the uncivilized let's nature do more.
