The Matter with women's shoes.

DIR. DiO Lewis has the following in
relation to women's shoes. The sole is
too narrow. NY friend, Mrs. c., in
reading the chapter in ''Our Girls" de-
voted to ''Boots snd Shoes" came 10
say that, although sh was great suf-
ferer from corns and general sore and
crippled condition of the feet, her shoes
were enormous, twice as large as her
feet. She wished | would see if it was
not So. | examined the shoes and
agreed with her that they were too
large As she stepped, it was doubt
less true, as she said, that her foot
rocked over first on this side and then
on that. Now it pressed over on the
outside, rubbing down over the edge of
the sole and touching the ground, and
perhaps, If the ground WAS at all un-
even, on the very next step, her foot
would rock on the other side of the
sole. Such friction between the little
toe and the big toe joints against the
upper leather must inevitably produce
SOAho. thtih TIC ultJOiltE vi cHOcc
are too large.
Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker and see what 1 could
do for her relief, for really life was be-
coming a torture. We went to her
own shoemaker. Mrs. e. hobbled to =
seat and declared:
81 won't try 10 walk again, there, :"
Her shoe was removed and Mr.. Shoe
maker marked around her foot, while
she was standing upon it. We meas
ured it and found it was exactly tour
inches. That was the width of her
foot when she stepped on it without Il
shoe. Then We measured the sole of
the shoe she had been wearing, and
found it two and half inches. Here
was the secret of the whole trouble.
A pair of shoes were made for her at
once, with soles four inches broad.
Now she can walk for hours without
pain in her feet. There are millions
of poor sufferers in the country, who
are limping and hobbling through the
world, who might be perfectly relieved
and cured by The same means.

Chloride of Sodium.

Early one morning tremendous
commotion was created in lodging
house on b street, Virginia City,
by an inveterate wag, who really ought
to be taken care of 1t once. The man
was lodging in the house, and, about
eight o'clock came down from his room
and told the landlady that her little
boy had found box of chloride of So
dunn on his wash-stand and had taken
some. elf you can get stomach
pump into him inside of an hour, he'll
live. Now don't get excited; keep cool
Put mustard plaster on his stomach
at once, and send for all the doctors
in reach. You'll be sure to find one at
home.' By this time the frantic
mother had the boy stretched out on
the bed, and was getting Il square yard
of mustard plaster ready. At the same
time she dispatched three boys and a
little girl for medical aid. Here"
said the wag, coolly. "l'll leave you the
name of the chemical on a piece of
paper-chloride of sodium. Make no
mistake; any doctor will know what to
do the minute he sees the name. It's
all right; now don't cry. 1t won't
have the slightest effect under an hour.
Keep cool. Don't frighten the child.
T'll go down and send mp some doctors
myself, and here the young man start
ell at brisk pace down town, and soon
had several doctors routed out of their
offices. Meanwhile the boy, who was
nine years old, was bawling at the top
of his voice, and some of the ladies
from neighboring houses came in TO
help him on the bed while the mustard
plaster was spread over his stomach.
Every woman who came in was shown
the name of the poison written on the
paper, and they calculated "Mercy

mach pumps. At the sight of so for
midable array the patient (on whom
the plaster was drawing like ten-mule
team set up howl of despair.
"Wha: has he taken, Madame ?" ask
ed DIR. Harris hurriedly.
"Here's the paper,' .eried the moth

The doctor read the inscription, pass

and it went round the group. Present

They explained to the weeping moth
er that she had been made the victim
as well as themselves, of cruel hoax.
There was big laugh, bat when that
wag gets home to his lodgings tonight

OF the skill and courage of the Zulus
many anecdotes are told. of which the
following is specimen: Some few
years ago a Zulu hunter, hearing a
young British officer speak somewhat
lightly of native prowess. offered to
give him specimen of it by killing
single handed huge lion which infest-
ed the neighborhood. The challenge
was accepted. and the brave fellow at
once set out on his dangerous errand
the officer and several of his comrades
following at distance. Having
drawn the beast from his lair, the hun
ter wounded him with a well flung
spear, and instantly fell fiat on the
ground beneath his huge shield of rhi-
noceros hide, which covered his whole
body like the lid of dish. The lion.
having vainly expended his fury upon
it, at length drew back few PAGES.
Instantly the shield rose again, see
ond lance struck him, and his furious
rush encountered only the impenetra-
BILE buckler. Foiled again, the lion
crouched close beside his ambushed en-
emy, as if meditating a siege, but the
willy savage raised the further end of
the shield just enough to let him creep
noiselessly away in the darkness, leav-
ing his buckler unmoved. Arrived at
safe distance, he levelled his third
spear at the broad yellow flank of the
royal beast with such unerring aim as
to lay him dead on the spot, and then
returned composedly to receive the con-
gratulations of the wondering specta-
tnrs

Hudson Bay Dog Teams

Profanity-and particularly French
profanity, seems a necessary adjunct to
dog-driving. 1t Is unfortunate that,
by some inscrutable dispensation of
Providence, the only method of reach
ing a dogs reason should be through
unlimited imprecation. But speaking
with the experience of many days of
dOg-travel and an intimate acquaint-
ance with score or more of dog trains
l have never seen an attempt made to
reach it in any other way. | do not
seek TO exaggerate, but simply to pre-
sent dog-driviug as il really is-an in
human thrashing and varied cursing.
The cruelty with which dogs are treat
ell cannot be excused. 1t is true they
are obstinate and provoking, and re-
quire severe beating, especially from a
new driver, till the team is brought in
to subsection. But when helpless ami
mails undergoing severe labor in the
trains, are not merely beaten on the
body with heavy lasles, but symetrical
ly flogged N the head till their ears
drip bloOd-beaten with whip handles
till their jaws and noses are cut open
with deep wounds-cudjelled with
clubs. knelt upon and stamped upon
until their howls turn into low moans
of agOny-punishment merges into
sheer brutality. And yet such treat
ment is of common occurrence. As ]
said, the beatings from being intermit-
tent became incessant. Many OF the
dogs had so exhausted themselves by
violent dariings hIther and thither in
their endeavors to dodge the blows of
the descending whip, that they had no
strength left for the legitimate task of
hauling the sledge. The heads of
others were reduced to swollen, pull
py mass by tremendous thrashings,
while one or two had given out alto
gether and had been taken from the
harness and abandoned on the plain.
The operation of ''sending dog to
Rome" had been performed more than
once-a brutal operation in which the
driver sinks below the level of the beast.
Sending dog to Rome, is effected by
simply beating him over the head with
a club or heavy whip handle until he
falls insensible to the ground. When
he revives, with the memory Of the
awful blows that deprived him of con-
sciousness fresh upon him he pulls
franticiy at his load. A dog is sent to
Rome tor various and often trivial prov
Ocations-because he shirks or will not
pull, because he will not permit the
driver to adjust some hitch in his har-
ness. While he is insensible the nee
sary alteration is made, ard upon re-
covering consciousness he receives
terrible lash of the whip to set him go
inc again

He was regular dandy in appear

CATERS with cloth uppers, natty cut

The Wee Mathematician

A sharp little girl once proved that
the language of mathmetics was not as
exact as it should be:
A female teacher had a class of begin
ners-children of and 3 years. In
teaching them the ruddiments of ar
ithmetic, she thought 10 simplify
things. The use of the ten numerals
she taught by their ten fingers, and in
adding or subtracting the single num-
bers they could reckon upon those dig
its. The thing worked to a charm and
the little ones readily learned thus to
solve the first problems of the great
science.
One day the class was out for recita-
ton. and subtraction was the theme
"Five from five leaves how many?'
was by-and-by asked a bright-eyed
miss of 4 summers.
The little thing up with her fingers
and went at it. For time she seemed
exceedingly puzzled, but at length her
eyes snapped, and she lifted her head
c0Ehdently.
"Five!'' she said with assured en-
phasis.
Curious to know how she arrived al
that solution, the teacher asked her to
explain.
"why," replied the child, holding
out her two hands, and placing tnen
side by side. "zere's five on 'at hand
and i've on AT. Now take away 'est
five from 'ose five, and-'ere zey be
