The HOIIering Woman,

n
eyes, one "hollerins woman" i'll every
street. A woman who never goes after
anybody, but always calls across the
street. Who never looks for her chill
dren, but rushes to the front gate and
shrieks for them until. in the pauses of
her shouting, she hears them answering
from the room she just left. Every
street has one "hollering woman" No
street has more, for as soon as two "hol-
| lering women" are thrown, by pitiless
fate, upon one street, the neighbors va
cate and emigrate until rents come down
Or as it often happens, one Of the "hol-
lering women" pulls up stakes and goes
elsewhere, for they can not brook oppo-
sition. The "hollering woman" generally
manages to keepher street in lively state
of elocutionary excitement, and if you
happen to live within understanding dis
tance your diurnal serenade is somewhat
like this: Tommy! Tom-mee Tom
my! Oh, Tom You Tom Come
right along here and break up some of
this dry wood, or Pll break your back
Mary! You Mar-ee! You get right
down off that tree box this mint, you
great tom-boy, or I'll skin you within an
inch of your lifel Ma-ree Oh, Miss
Pinkhard Won't you tell your milk
man, when he comes, to stop at my gate
Mine come this morning before we was
up. Erasmus Erasmus E-e-eras-
mus Come right home and take this
pail of molasses back to the grocery, and
tell him if he can't send what l ordered

Miss Haralson! How's the baby's
measles? Did you try that tea sent

polonaise Ma rec! Mary! Where's
Emeline gone to, I'd like to know!
Didn't tell you not to let her get out
of your sight minute Now, you hunt
her up, and bring her right home. Good

Mary, ] say Erasmus! Oh, Miss
Pinkhardp The serenade continues at
random all day long, and is familiar to
every one who has lived within gunshot
of the "hollering woman"
Care of the Feet.
Says correspondent of the Country
Gentleman:
Almost every day we see people with
troublesome feet. Now with proper care
the feet can be kept all the time in good
condition. First, never wear an lift
ting boot or shoe. A boot too large is
Just as bad for the feet as one too small,
or nearly as bad. If you are so unfortu-
nate as to purchase pair of boots or
shoes that do not fit, dispose of them at
half price, rather than wear them.
Again, when the feet become tired
and ache, sit down a few moments and
rest them high upon table or chair.
Unless very bad, that will give immedi-
ate relief. Ifit does not ,immerse them ina
pail of water as hot as you can bear your
hand in; let them remain until the
water ceases to feel hot, then wipe dry,
and they will trouble you no more for
quite while. Have the water only
deep enough to cover the feet.
If the nails are inclined to grow in at
the corners, scrape with a dull knife
little lint from pure linen towel, and
gently lifting up the corner of the nail,
tuck it under. Never cut otherwise
than straight across, never scrape or Fare
down the middle or corners.
If troubled with cOrns, put one table
spoonful OF Dreau sOua llIo one quart Oh
hot water as hot as you can bear your
hand in, and soak the feet long time,
say twenty minutes then wipe dry, and
with scissors pick out the corns and
scrape away all the loose cuticle started
up by the soda; then rub thoroughly
with pure glycerine. Use the glycerine
every day, and about once a week soak
in soda water, and you will get the best
of the corns, if you do not entirely cure
them.
1t may seem a good deal of work to
care so much for the feet, but cit will
pay'-I can assure you from much ex-
perience.
