The Matter With Women's Shoes.

Let me give you the result Of my OBJ
servatior and thought. The sole is too
narrow! My friend, Mrs. c., in reading
the chapter in I" Our Girls" devoted to
"BoOts and Shoes" came to say that,
although she was q great sufferer from
corns and q general sore and crippled
condition of feet, her shoes were never-
theless enormous, twice as large as her
feet. She wished / would see if it was
not SO. l examined the shoes and
agreed with her that they were too large.
As she stepped, it was doubtless 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 uneven, on the
very next step, her boot would rock
over on the other side of the sole. Such
friction between the little o and the
big toe joints against the upper leather
must inevitably produce corns. / think
the majority of shoes are too large.
Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker's and see what 1
could do for her relief, for really life
was becoming q torture. We went to
her own shoemaker. Mrs. G. hObbled
to a seat and declared:
81 won't try to walk again, there!"
Her shoe was removed, and Mr.. Shoe
maker marked around her foot while
she was standing upon it. We next
measured the mark aud found that it
was exactly four inches. That was the
width of her foot when she stepped on it
without a shoe. Then we measured
the sole of the shoe she had been wearing
and found it two and a half inches.
Here was the secret of the whole trouble.
A pair of shoes were made Tor 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.-Dr. Dio LeUis.

The DoagAAoP Of - ER-0SvsrDss Lnks
Her - Thsss . . CeeshaaaL
A New York Times special from Hart
ford says social circles are much exer.
cised over the marriage Of Miss Nellie,
youngest daughter Of Ex-Gov. Hubbard,
to Frederick Shepard, the family coach
man. The youth Of the girl, not ye,
passed her 18th birthday, largely ex-
cuses her conduct, while nothing 90 far
explains il. She had adelightful home,
surrounded by al the luxuries. The
coschman Ii about 30 years Of age, Of
uncommonly good personal appearance,
and pleasing manners. His parents
live in Hartford, and are respectable peo-
pie. The worst tina. can be said Of him
il that before he entered the service of
Gov. Hubbard be was . hickman. The
inference is thst his habits could not
have been good. II il said Miss HUB
bard became interested in him at first
through desire TO instruct him in culture
by residing, she being An excellent
scholar, and it il probable the intimacy
vas first formed through the well in
tentioned designs Of the girl. Saturday
last the girl suddenly disappeared from
her home. Since then il became known
that Shepard went TO New Haven Fri
day and waited for her TO meet him.
Saturday they sent word to her parents
and q marriage-certifcate showing the
marriage took place in West6eld, Mass,
On March IL.
Miss Nellie, on returning home, frank
ly admitted all, and seemed perfectly
satisfied with the course she had taken.
An effort vas made TO detain her, but
she managed TO elude vigilance, and got
away in time to take the noon express
train for New Haven, where it is sup
posed her husband joined her. No ef-
fort is being made by Gov. Hubbard to
ascertain where they are. II the inten-
tons Of Shepard are honorable he will
return here probably and take up his
abode with his parents, and if he does
50 he has it in his power to win respect
and cast no disgrace upon the family,
whose daughter is now his wife. Should
his designs be other, q crisis will be soon
reached. 1t is believed the match is one
growing out of mutual attachment.

Appeal for the Destitute Of Gloucester

Mayor Williams of Gloucester, Mass,
has published a letter saying: 1.-The
recent appalling calamity, involving the
loss OF l46 able-bodied men, with IS
vessels of our fishing feet, occaioning
50 INDECENT widows and $50 orphans,
has suddenly fallen upon our already
depressed city. Discouraging enough
were our circumstances and pros
poets before, but now al av-
blanche of grief and dsstitution
has come upon many of our needy fam
lilies with crushing violence. We there
fore feel impelled, though reluctantly,
to appeal to q generous public for aid
by the contribution Of supplies-cioth-
ing, groceries, money, or whatever each
may have at hand-for the sufferers.
All contributions directed to my care
will be properly dispensed"

1t is not generally known how near
the Zulus came, after the disaster 1t Is
sndula, to bagging Lord Chelmsford
himself and his entire staff. The Cen
eral would have ridden quietly into
camp, which was in possession Of his
savage foes, and was already within
rifle shot of it, when he met An officer.
who had escaped, and warned him Of
the true condition of Affairs.
The Znlus after their victory dressed
themselves in the uniforms of their VIC
tins and prepared an ambush which
would almost certainly have succeeded,
had not one of them i~mpetuously fired
his rifle At Lord Chelmzford's inform
ant instead of quietly assailing him in
true African fashion. The bullet missed
its mark. and the officer galloped of
just in time TO save his commander.

LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS."

Hillsburg is a pretty little village,
somewhere on the eastern side OF the
Alleghanies, but / won't tell exactly
where, and Mollie Dane was n of the
prettiest girls in the village. At least,
SO thought Mr.. Charley Abbott, and
nothing in the world would have made
him so happy as to be the owner of one
of the neat cottages on Main Street, in
a Joint partnership with pretty Mollie
Dane.
Now Charley Abbott was a manly.
good-looking young fellow, with frank
smile, a clear, r right eye, and a heart
as big as a barn. And as like begets
like oftener than most folks believe,
when he fell in love with Mollie, she
straightway returned the favor by fall
ing in love with him.
1t is quite likely that the partnership
would nave been speedily brought about,
but Mollie's mamma had selected anoth-
er partner for her fair daughter, and
would not listen TO q word about young
Abbott.
Ais. Danes choice of q son-in-law
was her own nephew, a rising young
doctor, by the name of Paul Reeves.
The Reeves had always been people of
inheritance. Paul had a competency
already, and at the death of his grand
father he would come in for a~foltune--
a better match for her daughter, surely,
than Charley Abbott, a poor bankers
, clerk, on q thousand q year.
There was one little circumstance of
which Mrs. Dane was not aware-Mr.
Paul was not quite free himself. There
was q young lady in the city where he
attended lectures, who had a word to
saw on that subject. Mollie knew it,
however, for Paul had a strong, brother
~ friendship for his pretty cousin, and
for Charley Abbott, too; so they all
three took each other into confidence,
and Paul was the sworn ally of the
lovers.
MolIie was an obedient daughter II
- general, but she had q spice of her good
mammals viii, and would not give uE
Charley Abbott. Mrs. Dane would moi
permit him to visit at the house, anG
Mollie was too proud and ligh-m minded
to appoint cl, Intestine meetings; bu'
there were many occasions when theJ
"met by chance, the usual way" and
there were walks in the open street, and
several times Charley bravely escorted
Mollie to her own door. Mrs. Dane
could not prevent this, except by keep
ing Mollie q prisoner at home. Tha1
J. she did not care to do. But one morn
ing. when, as she sat by the parlor win
dow, they came walking gayly up to
gether, and parted at the gate, she could
stand it no longer. Pretty Mollie CAM
in, smiling and blushiDg, well KNOWN:
q lecture awaited her, and resolved t.
have it over at once
"Wen. Miss!" began Mrs. Dane, sit
ting up very straight and severe, " hoy
much longer is thus to 60 on?"

Blue EYES.

Al MONDAY in the crowded street

Unnoting aught. till suddenly,
A face dashed by me Ike a star.
A moment seeD-tben swift the throng
Closed jealously about its prize,
And all the lett to ire
Was this-she had blue eyes.
A wonan's eyes, you say Not so.
They were too shy, too full of spring;
And in their timid depths saw
A girl souls April hlossoming.
I missed the face, but what of that!
i saw the faces dearer part;
And still. though lost TO me, i keep
Their color in my heart.
