The archaeological treasures of Paris
will shortly include d collection of old
boots. 1t will be the most curious feature
of the new hall to be opened in January
in connection with the Musee de Cluny,
and promises to be the most complete MS
tory in leather of the bootmakers' art
that the world has yet seen. To the specl-
mems already acquired by the museum
have lust been added two famous private
collections-namely, those of NJ. Jacque-
mart and the Baron Shutter, together with
number of boots once worn by venetian
courtiers. purchased for the French gov
eminent in Italy.
DIR. Lasker, the distinguished Liberal
leader in the German Parliament, says:
Germans settled in foreign countries
must not despair If at times for little
while in the inner development Germany
seems to 90 against the great current of
civilization. Let our faithful ones wait
patiently and may they not be deceived
by that which occasionally appears on
the surface. Germany will not perish III
| intolerance and militarlsm. After some
| little heaving she will maintain her old
place among the foremost nations of sci
| ence. of enlightenment and industrial
ability. We. who stand in the midst of
! the battlefield, but with clear and unbi-
ased Judgment may be justified in eXcit-
| ing such hope in others with fullest conf
! dence.
! There is Il threatened strike already
among the amateurs engaged for the pro-
duction of the "PassiOn Play in New
York, the agitation being due to their
having been unable thus far to obtain
written contracts from the manager as
surfing them of permanency of employ
| ment and suitable salaries. One OF the
actors, who has been in rehearsal, and
| who saws he twas to double up in Peter
| and Joseph pronounces some OF the
| scenes pathetic, though the language put
/ in the mouths of the characters is some
| times ridiculous. For instance, Joseph
starts off in a speech, BLESSED be the
Lord for cOrrobOrating." Peter considered
| it quite likely that the first representation
| of the ssPassiOn PlaV' will break up in a
stage row, in which the Biblical characters
will take an active and conspicuous part
General Wallace, our Minister to Tur-
| key, has been awarded $4,000 by the
| American Mexican Commission as
claim for services rendered in 1865. AT
the close of our civil war the General ac-
cepted commission as Major General i'll
the Republican army of Mexico, with a
! view to organizing a legion composed Of
! discharged American soldiers to aid in
! driving the Emperor Macmillan and the
| French out of Mexico. The legion organ

/ valuable services to the Mexican repuDll-

! brought his claim before the American
Mexican Commissioners in 1859, but it
/ was not allowed for want Of jurisdiction.
/ But payment has now been secured
through the efforts of Minister Foster.
People who write or sew all day, or
rather those who take but little exercise,
may warm their cold feet without going
| to the fire. All that is necessary is to
stand erect and very gradually to lift ones
self up upon the tips of the
! toes. so as to put all the
! tendOns of the foot at full strain. This is
not to hop or to jump up and down, but
/ simply to rise-the slower the better
upon tiptOe, and to remain standing ON
! the point of the toes as long as possible,
| then gradually coming to the natural po-
/ sitiOn. Repeat this several times, and,
| by the amount of work the tips of the toes
! are made to do in sustaining the bOdy's
weight, a sufficient and lively circulation
! is set up. Even the half-frOzen car driver
can carry this point out. 1t is one rule OF
the Swedish movement system, and,
as motion warmth is much better than
! fire warming, persons who suffer with
cold feet at night can try this plan just
before retiring to rest.
A telegram from Lebanon, Pa, relates
the following: "Mrs. Thomas Hickman,
aged AZ years, residing in this borough,
has been a sufferer for nearly quarter of
century. Over twenty years ago, while
engaged in sewing, and while having sew
eral pins in her mouth, she was seized
with coughing spell. one OF tne pms
flew down her throat and lodged in the
thoraX, where it has remained ever since.
She has been in the most terrible pain all
these years. A number of physicians have
given her case their attention, but without
bringing her any relief. The pin is in just
fhr enough down the wOman's throat to
be away from the reach of all instruments
that have yet been used, and is supposed
to be embedded crossways. AT times Mrs.
Hickman is unable to eat anything for
days, when she suffers the most terrible
pain. At no time is she able to eat solid
food in large pieces, and she feels more
comfortable if she partakes of nothing but
liquids. 1t should be supposed that the
pin had wasted away by this time, but it
is as irritable now as ever. When this
strange accident happened to Mrs. Heck
man she was young, healthy and strong
woman. now she is greatly wasted away,
and looks great many years older than
she really is"
