THAT LITTLE CHAIR.

'Goingl goingr cried one Of our well
known suc,ioneers. the other day. while
the attendant crowd seemed little in
terested IN the proposed sale. And, In.
deed, there was not much in the ap-
pearsnce OF the object offered that was

1t was only . child's chair-the car.

tered here and there, q mere wreck -
bat to one poor unfortunate, at least, il
brought vision Of golden cu,ls. of
dimpled hands. Of laughing blue eyes,
the JOY that merry childhood throws
about.
Third and last CALL and the upliftsd
arm was about TO fall. when the auc-
ntioneer's searching glance chanced on
a dilspidsted being who was almost a.
great wreck ss the chair itself.

walked to the cashiers desk. his form
bent from age and want, his thin and
tattersd coat buttonsd tight about him.
while through bis hat "a relic of for
mer days. showed here and there some
silver threads.
WAS my bid fftesn ? he asked in Q
voice weak and trembling, while he
counted over and over again the two
nickels he held 10 his hand: Il thought
l had that much; indeed did; bat I
must have that chair. il Is inst like the
one my little Lulu had wheu-when-'
but with . big gulp he cleared bis voice,
and again began Q search through ali
his pockets. AT. here 1t is.' he ex
claimed. ~ he ut last found the missing
coin; aud with eager hand be paid over

passed on out into the street.
No one among the crowd he left, and
no one Of those be met. knew of oil the
memories that little purchase called to
life, memories OF . happier time, Wis
ions Of q fsirhsired darling, recollec-
tions Of long ago. How the old heart
warmed to oil about him. Il was like
the sunshine in winter. And may that
little chair be there to cheer and
brighten when the winds blow fiercer.

useless life Is about T. % out forever.

THE FEET.

The odor Of pure perspiration il not
unpleasant. as may be proved in clean
aud healthy babes. When. however,
the other eliminating orgsns-those
that strain the waste matter from the
blood--do not duly perform thsir func.
tions. their work is attempted by the
sk,n. Then disagreeable odor 10 gen.
orally given to the perspiration. Even
10 these cases. the odor 10 produced
mainly after the perspiratiou has been
absorbed by the clothing. This last
fact 10 generally true Of the bad odor
which is associated with the excessive
perspirstion OF the feet Of some people.
DR. George Thin. Of England. has been
investigating the matter, and has oom-
municated the results Of his expert
ments to the Royal Society. The per-
spiration OF the body Is generally
slightly acid That in the soles Of the
stockings aud boots he found to be al.
kaline. In this there is Q rspii devel-
opment OF Q class of bacteria (micro-
scopic vegetations) characterized by .
fetid smell (bacterium fgtidum). The
fluid in the soles of the stockings and of
the boots examined by the doctor was
found 10 TEEN with them. Thus the
odor is supposed in some cases to be
due. not directly to the perspiration as
Il comes from the feet, but to its 81 bse-
quent putrefaotion. The afflicted will
be glad tojleara that this odor can be
wholly destroyed by boracic acid = the
acid Of boron. The stockings should
be changed twice a day. When taken
off, they should be placed for some
hours in jar containing . solution Of
the acid. They are again tit for use
after drying. To prevent the odor
from getting into the boots. cork soles
should be worn. and placed at night in
the jar and dried the next day. Wash
ing the tender and sore parts Of the
feet with the acid will relieve the acS
companying feeling Of heat and pain.

A T WORKS WISDOM.
Further Testimony Given In The
Case To-Day.

The Water Company case is still
going on to day. Numerous witnesses
we're examined yesterday as to the
quantity, though none as to the quail
ity, Of the water supply.
DR.. Nall, who was on. the stand at
noon, testified that a large majority Of
the medical profession attributed
diphtheria to sewer gas. Had heard
that it existed in New York, where
sewers we're bad. Typhus feverS had
been worse in the last two months
than any previous year in his knowl-
edge.
John CASTOR testified that there had
been an inadequate supply Of water in
the second and third stories, but his
boys flushed with water.
w. j. Chase testified that he was
in the Irving block about a week ago
and found the closet so offensive as to
be ~sickening. He supposed those
conditions could have been improved
by flushing with buckets.
Mr.. Humphreys, engineer of sewers.
testified that there were times when
the supply was scant and flush tanks
not provided; heard of bad odcrs on
account Of bad water; had not ex-
perienced any bad effects from sewer
gas that he knew Of; knew Of one
period Of several days when there was
no water; thought bad odors resulted.
Mr.. Harrington testified that the
water supply for the last year was bad;
no water in closet on second floor on
many occasions; found it running this
morning. At his Office there was no
water.
Mr.. r. +. Bettus testified that his
attention had been called to an odor
from the man hole on Adams street,
which was very bad, and he called
the attention of the sanitary depart
ment to it. Suppose it due to sewer
gas.
Mr.. H. L. Guion testified that the
supply had been very inadequate, and
at his office he did not have any for
eight weeks. Office on second floor;
odor so bad that be kept closet locked;
used all the water in the cistern trying
to keep it clean. Judge Latham was
present and listened closely.
Mr., Burford, master mechanic Of
the Charleston railroad, said the sup
ply At the shops had been sufficient.
He did some work for the Water
Company
Mr.. G. ". Miller, Mr.. jackson,
DR.. Hsber Jones, Mr.. John Rourke,
and Captain Charlie Smith also testi-
fed. Great stress seems to be laid by
the counsel for defense on the fact
tia; water IS now running in the
pines.

In Jail.
The Waltons, who made things so
lively out in the Buntyn Station
vicinity in the early hours OF Sunday
before dawn, were sent to Jail yester-
day in default Of $4,000 bail.
This lawless couple attacked two Of
the best citizens in the vicinity Of
Buntyn, and the people thereabouts
are naturally indignant over their
conduct. The Rev. Doyle Pierson
was kicked and cufFed, but bore it
meekly, being a devout Christian, and
ever when his family were attacked
in their own house, his daughter
knocked down and himself dragged
into the yard by hair and whiskers,
he did not resent the outrage. His
wife and daughter, however, were
exasperated beyond endurance, and
they defended themselves with table
ware, prodding one Of the roughs with
q fork and infictiDg wounds not
serious, but painful.

News Butehers, Row,

There was a bloody affair transacted
by news butchers" in the north end
Of the city the other night. Alex
Hall boarded with Al Hardwick, and
the latter's wife informed her lord
that she had been insulted in her own
ball by Hall. Hardwick met Hal and
prevailed on him to go with him to
his house, when he took him into a
back room, locked both doors and
producing a pistol, preached a short
but impressive funeral sermon. Hall
stopped the proceedings by snatching
the pistol from the injured mans
hand, and after some gore had been
shed on both sides several persons
rushed in and separated them. They
we're find s. each.
