The Thrilling Fix Of ~ Subma-

Care OF the Feet.

Concerning this subject, the .Scie,-
tifc Am9rieaa very truly says:
MANY are careless in the keeping OF
the feet. If they wash ,llem once a
week they think they are doing well.
They do not consider that the largest
pores are loca,ed in he bottom OF
the foot, and that the most offensive
matter is discharged through the
pores. They wear stockings from
the beginning 10 the end of the week
without change, which become per-
fectly saturated with offensive mat
ter. Ill health is generated by such
treatment of the feet. The pores are
not repellants, but absorben's. and
this fetid matter, to greater or less
extent, is taken back into the system.
The teet should be washed every
day with pure water only, as well as
the armpi,s, from which an offensive
odor is also emitted, unless daily
ablution is practiced. Stockings
should not be worn more than a day
or two at time. They may be
worn one day, and then aired and
summed and worn asother day, il
necessary"

The Death of American ssici.

The New York Herald of Sunday
has the following telegram from Ell
mira, giving the particulars Of the
death at that place Saturday, of the
famous ,rot'er American G,rl:
The famous trodiag mare Aneri-
can Girl fell dead this afternoon in
the first heat of the ''tree for all race"
on the Elmira Driving Park, She
was driven by John I. d ty and app
peared at the start to be in the very
best condition. The horses were
scored number ct times before they
got the word. TIE Girl at the first
turn was we'll in front, but hare her
driver noticed that she seemed to be
giving out aud let her head loose
She kept staggering for an eighth Of
a miir, and al the quar- er pole fell
aud died Instantly without struggle.
She d,opped TO the ground very
easily, with her shoulder against the
fence. The incident excited great
deal Of sympathy, as the mare was
favorite here, All had been the chief
attraction for the races to-day. 4
singular circumstance ia the matter
was that from the grand stand
rainbow could be seen, the end of
which appeared as if it fell upon he
head OF he dying horsc. The band
played funeral dirge as so3u AS the
dcalh was made known,
American Girl was owned by VIII
liam Lowell, of New York, and was
valued at $4,000, which sum hal
been offered for her OILY last week.
Ben Made, Il IS said, was this morn
lug wiling to give $4,000 for her.
which sum was refused. She was a
handsome bay, with black points, by
Cassins NJ Clay, Jr,, and 10 years
old. Her races have been without
number, and. when in condition, she
was always dangerous to the best,
and not until within a very few
wears did she have any superior. OF
quite fine form and l6 hands high,
he Girl always commanded attrn-
ton. For long time she has been
troubled with SPAWN, but, being re-
pcatedIy fired and blistcred, it was
Ihought that this year she was as
good as ever. The turf, in the death
Of the Gid, loses one Of its best per
formers.
The Elmra Driving PAX A>socia-
ton propose, should the body be left
there, TO erect 81 900 monument to
the memory Of American Girl.
There was 10 insurance on the mare.

The English agricultural Gazette
SAYS: "a journey across England a.,
two points, up and down almost its
entire length, during the past fort
night, confirm the returns before re-
ceived in regard to the crops. There
can be no doubt that the principal
grain crop Of this country is this
year considerably below an average.

witnessed. The returns from south
ern counties do not describe a much
better fortune there. o. the returns,
upon the whole, 50 per cent. declare
wheat to be IN average crop; 571

for and upon the railroad, and all the
cash they have received has been

A true Story OF Two Homes.

1t is no; so much the amount of
money man earns, but the way he
spends it, which solves the problem
as to whether he has happy home
or not. A and B have an equal sal
AIRY OF $3.50 per month. One has a
pretiily furnished house, comforta-
BILE table, bis wife and children ere
respectfully dressed, they all move
in decent society, occupy pew In
some church, and have monthly
credits with the merchants with
whom they trade. The other, with
his wife aud children. have uncom-
Portable quarters in some boarding
house; the wife is shut out from
society; she is not properly clothed
for the different seasons, she is never
seen at any place Of public amuse-
ment with the children; she rarely
gets TO church, and all the domestic
life OF the family is nothing more nor
less than miniature he'll; and, in
numerous instances, strange as il
may seem, that one who suffers has
quite as cool capacitles as the one
who prospers. The whole secret of
the d ference Is the way they use
their money. For every cent that A
puts ont he gets something for his
family. To illustrate: b spends
fifty cents day for cigars and TO-
pacco; fifty cents day for drinks,
aud fl y cents day for lunches,
billiards, car fare, etc. Then after
he has paid his monthly board, wash
bills, etc, he hasn't got cent left,
nor the slightest thing on earth to
show for his money. Fl lives for no
other purpose than 10 distribute his
hard earned money in saloons, res
tauranis and to boarding house
keepers. It is "A dreadful way Of
spending ones life, but hundreds do
it. L is true that fifty cents will
buy FIVE cigars or ten glasses of beer.
1t will also buy two pairs of sock
iugs, two linen collars. pair OF
gloves, TWO pairs of pocket handker-

Much interest was created in the
live cattle market yesterday by the
presence Of several salable fat beasts
from New York Considering they
had journeyed about 1900 miles by
sea, aud that on their reception at
the port OF London they were very
rudely treated, they were in mar.
vellously good condition. The cat
tie arrived in the docks on Monday
week, all sound, with the exception
of one which had suffered severe
butting and cruising. The inspector
declined 10 allow any Of them to pass
until he had examined the one that
showed symptoms of injury. This
he did not do at once. lie waited
until the following day, the result
being that the uninjured thirty seven
(hirty eight being landed) were
kept until Wednesday in space not
sufficient TO accommodate half tina,
number. Then it was veterinarily
declared that the animal supposed to
be affected with chronic disease was
all right, and it was sent up to the
shambles to have the small ohal con-
demned; the meat, however, being
passed, and the others permitted to
90 at loss to their owners Of at
least a couple Of pounds per head.
Still they handled admirably, and the
prices realised showed that they
must have been extremely good ere
they started on their long and
"parlous" journey, as they made
from f23 to f36 head, a good price
even in this day of "dear meat"
The great fact to be noted is this,
that animals can be brought long dis
tances by sea without suffering much
deterioration, in well appointed yes
sells. The question 10 be considered
is whether The freightage may not
absorb the proft.-Lonaon Aacer-
tiser.
