nearly half an hour between Washington and
London on the up trip by getting on the wrong

A STUTTGART correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier-JoaunM writes OF
housekeeping there a. follows: Tine
noise of unexpected floors is at first I'M
bearable to Americans. OF course some
of the very wealthy use carpets, but sew.
eral reasons prevent their prevalent
adoption. The doors fit SO closely that
they would require to be planed OF at
the bottom to admit . carpet beneath
but perhaps the most important consid-
Grafton is the utter absence of furniture
rollers. In such simple matters as these
Americans miss many little contrivances
for household comfort that are accessible
to the humblest at home. The floors are
of different colors of oak wood, accu
rately fitted together in small blocks Y
initiate mosaic. The waxing is renew4t
every few weeks, and the sweeping OF
such floors is followed by frequent wip
ing with buckskin. Large rugs in hand
some patterns are laid in the most ex
posed places. White floors are easily
disfigured by every drop Of water, ane
require fortnightly scrubbings. This in
wolves a whole days discomfort, to So,
nothing of the herculean task of moving
the rollerless furniture, and the annoy
ance of having detachable pieces
wrenched off by clumsy cleaners. Thel
we miss the warm, dry climate that 81
speedily effaces all traces of the scrub
bling brush. A days cleaning is followed
by cold night, through which the damp
! ness is perceptibly felt"

A Comfortable Shoe.

A Swiss philosopher has taken up q
subject that concerns very closely the
comfort of the human race, and espe-
cially the civilized portion of it. They,
indeed, suffer the most from ill-fitting
shoes The Indian is not troubled by
his moccasins, nor the Oriental by his
sandal; it is the tight-fitting shoe of the
European and American that claims a
place among the instruments of torture.
The researches of the Swiss philosopher,
DR.. Hermann Meper, of Zurich, suggest
some valuable considerations, well wor-
thy the attention of the intelligent ar
,ifcers who make boots and shoes. Ee
asserts that shoemaker ought not only
to produce shoe that does not pinch,
but a shoe so constructed that it will
