Gold Feet.

Nine-tenths Of the more tiresome physi-
cal troubles English women bring on
themselves arc due to no more terrible
cause than damp feet. Men, for once In
a way, are sensible In this respect. They
do not habitually tramp around in their
slippers. or wear thin slips Of leather,
which are as good protective against
damp. as bit Of blotting paper One
half tho boots and shoes seen in our
streets ought to be used exclusively for
indoor wear. Outside, and with . oil
mate like ours, they are a splendid ex-
ample OF the way in which people go
about literally hunting for sharp at
tack Of illness. It is perfectly meet and
right that the modern Eve should take
q pride In her foot. Well shod, and with
dainty military, and not high, Fren
heel to her boot, it IL proper she should
be conscious Of tho charms Of youth and
compliment. But thin cashmere uppers
never make foot look well. At best
they are flimsy hearth-rug wear. Shoes
are even more treacherous. A fairly
drenching shower Of rain. and the spray
beats up from the descending drops,
vets the stocking through. laying the
foundation Of any one Of dozen nasty
complaints. Poor Mrs Csudle. the
good lady whose curtain lectures 20 long
kept patient Joe Caudle awake, came to
her death. 50 II stands written, through
no more serious cause than 20 pair Of
thin shoes" For the foundation Of .
lucrative doctors practice. nothing bet
ter could be recommended than an out
ef-doors picnic on slightly damp after
noon. for which ali the women folks AZ
tired themselves In thin shoes and stock
ings.

A Puzzle in Pronunciation.

Even a Boston man is puzzled occa-

ingly to one of the city journals: "Per-

of it, and carried that pronunciation

one day in high school the teacher in

ton of that name was Mwe-ler. So
changed my colOrs again and sailed
under Mweler for quite a while, until
one day got into conversation with a
young physician, a German student.

German count, who squandered all her
earnings in gambling. and she had to
come to America TO retrieve her for

anne Grisi was the victim Of an unfor-
tunate marriage, and she did not better
herself when she left her husband and
went to live with Mario who married
her after his predecessors death. Even
Madame Patti has not escaped; for she
married an old, broken-down French
marquis, who wasted her fortune, and
she had to get q separation from him to
become the protege OF the protector Of .
man much her senior, with whom she
has contracted a marriage the legality
Of which is questioned. Acting under

sums in tho purchase Of . castle in

cused Of diabolical practices. In the
neighborhood of one village . sheep.
which Is supposed to be the damned
soul OF deceased parishioner, amuses
itself by night with pushing passers-by
into pool. A foolhardy villager at
tempted 70 wrestle with It on one COCA

or that he soon afterward died. Near
another village is water-course trav-
ersed by foot-bridge. As soon as any
one sets foot upon IL . small sheep runs
between his legs and pitches him into
the water. A peasant returning home
late one night found q stray black sheep
which he carried away with him ON his
shoulders. As ho drew nigh to the vii
lage crucifix the sheep became moro and
more heavy. At last when close to tho
sacred image, the man exclaimed: "You
are as heavy as the devil" '.Why. am
the DEVIL" exclaimed the sheep, and fed
away laughing in an annoying manner.

stock which was formerly hypothecated
with Jay Gould, and, now that he has a
controlling interest in that paper, he can
do with it what he pleases. One of is
fancies is his quarrel with Appletons, the
publishers. 1t arises out Of the fact that
Chas. A. Dana. of the Sun, whom Reid
hates SO cordially, edits Appleton's Cyclic
padia, hence the Tribune could not notice
it then the Appletons refused to adver-
tise in the Tribune, theu it excluded
them from every part of the paper and its
readers may search in vain for review OF
even Bancroft's last work in its columns.
The Tribune is also shut off from Lecky,
Darwin, Huxley and Tyndall. This is
small business all around, especially as
Geo. Ripley, ono of tho Tribune staff, is
associated with Dana in the editing of the
Cycloppdia.

Concerning Gen. Beavers relationship
to the wasteful and worthless state
college" of Pennsylvania, the question
first asked by many persons is whether ne
may be fairly charged with any mora! de-
linquency as to the expenditure OF the
money given by the general and state
governments. No doubt is expressed, as
far rs the facts are known, that just
answer to this inquiry would DC IN the
negative. What is to bc said is that Gen:
Beaver and those whom he has influenced
to secure the continued expenditure OF the
state endowment arc fairly chargea0Ie
with not setting good example or show.
ing themselves true to high standard OF
public duty. They we'll know that, as the
legislative committee unanimously re-
ported in 1879, "the institution is
very badly managed" that the state
has never received benefits at all
commensurate with the amount OF money
appropriated by it to the college, ana
that 1.-The trustees have signaily talled TO
carry out the objects for which the mag
nificent land-grant was given by the
United States.' General Beaver IS lar
too intelligent q man not to understand
this perfectly, and yet ne has, iOI oo'-
eral years, employed his personal and po-
litical influence at Harrisburg to prevent
the Legislature from cutting off tho pub
lie fund, rs the House twice, by large ma
,jorities, voted to do. 1t is impossible to
say that this shows such an appreciation
of public duty as BELTS a candidate for
governor Of Pennsylvania whoever, IN
the face of knowledge, prOcures a misuse
Of the public interests for the advantage
of private ones, must be deemed wanting
in a most essential qualification for high
