This argument, it seemed, had no sort
of weight with him; gratitude was un
known to that savage breast. Like
many more civilized individuals, he at
tributed his misfortunes to his own
virtue.
"No, sir, it amt that" he answered
scornfully. I'm the victim OF perse-
yerance."

About COrns.

Within six blocks of my Boston resi-
dence there are eleven corn doctors.
Some of them employ number Of
operators, and do an immense business.
\ large majority of adults, among the
better clat SEES, suffer from corns or other
maladies of the feet. Walking, the best
of exercises, would be indefinitely in
creased if our feet were healthy.
Prompted by suffering in my own per-
son, and by sympathy with the sore
footed cripples about me, L have studied
the subject with care and interest.
Let me give you the result of my OBJ
servation and thought The sole is too
narrow 1t has long been suspected
that a narrow sole was the great trouble
in this world. The particular suffering
under consideration, am sure, all, or
nearly ALL comes from too morrow sole.
My friend Mrs. c., on reading the
chapter in our Girls devoted 10 "Boots
and Shoes" came to say that, although
she was sufferer from corDs, and gen.
eral crippled condition of feet, her shoes
were, nevertheless, enormous twice the
size OF her feet. She wished / would
see If ii was not so. examined her shoes
and agreed with her that they were toe
large. As she stepped, her foot rocked
over first on one side and then on that.
Now 1T pressed over on the outside. rub
blng down over the edge of the sole, and
touching the ground, and perhaps. if the
ground were at all uneven, on the very
step her boot would rock over ON the
other side of the sole. Such friction be-
tween the little toe and the big toe joints
against the upper leather must invariably
produce corns. think the majority Of
boots are too large.
Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker's and see what / could
10 for her relief, for really, life was be-
coming torture. We went to her own
shoemaker. Ouriously enough, his name
IL Shoemaker. Mrs. G. hobbled to q
seat and declared, II won't try to walk
again, there T.
Her shoe was removed and Mr.. Shoe
maker marked around her foot when she
WAS standing upon il. We measured
tse mark and 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 il
two and half inches. Here was the
secret of the whole trouble.
par OF shoes were made for her nj
once, with soles four inches broad. Now
she can walk for hours without pain in
her feet.
There are millions of poor sufferers in
this country, who are limping and hob
bling through the world, who might be
perfectly relieved and cured by the same
means.-Cor. Golden Rule.

A Dangerous Humorist.

The following anecdote is given by
Lord Houghton in his Monographs
Personal and Social, for the authentic
ity of which, he says, he will not vouch,
but which seems to him good enough to
be true.
On being settled at his small living in
Yorkshire, Sydney Smith willingly as
sisted his neighbors in their clerical du-
ties. On an occasion of this kind he
dined with the incumbent on the proceed
ing Saturday, and the evening passed in
great hilarity, the squire, by name Ker-
shaw, being conspicuous for his loud
enjoyment of the strangers jokes.
Il am very glad that / have amused
you," said Mr.. Sydney Smith at parting,
but you must not laugh at my sermon
TO- morrow"
81 should hope know .ne difference
between here and at church," remarked
the gentleman with sharpness.
am not SO sure of that" replied
the visitor.
"I'll bet you guinea on it, said the
squire.
"Take you," replied the divine.
Next day the preacher assembled the
steps of the pulpit, apparently suffering
from q severe cold, with his handker-
chief to his face, and at once sneezed
out the name Ker-shaw several times in
various intonaions.
This ingenious assumption of the
readiness with which man would recog-
nize his own name in sounds impercept-
ible to the ears of others, proved
accurate. The poor gentleman burst
into outlaw, to the SCANDAL of the con.
gregation, and the minister, after looking
at him with stern reproach, proceeded
with his discourse.

While awaiting your a0nse! regarding
this matter ventage the simple ang-
wsr that it il because our buy erS do not

Both OF our elevators are owned bJ
Port Huron grain dealers. The gentle
men who have charge or them are
simply on salary. and can not, there.

simply what their employers instruct
them to. The result is that during
the greater part ofsn.e present solson
prices have been. on the average, sew
eral cents lower t';an ut other markets.
As high as - or 23 cents per bushel
difference is reported. According TO
current reports the same state OF
affairs has existed at all points on the
narrow gauge roads where the eleVat-
ors are owned and controlled by Port
Huron dealers. TO us it appears as
though SAnborn, aad Botsford Bros,
were bulling the market paying just
what they wish, ard no more, and we
believe that to be the right solution Of
the matter. Last year our buyers
here bought on strictly competitive
basis, Mr. Ward thon owned The eleyat-
or now Owned by Sanborn. The result
of the fair prices paid was that busi-
ness in Brockway Centre wa5 exceed
ingly good and every thing was BOOM

been much poorer with our merchants.
