Saw Through Him.

A bow-legged young man was in love
with a girl, and somebody had told her
he was misrepresenting matters to her.
He went to see her and made a long
statement, which she doubted.
But, nay dear Miss Fannie, he said

FOR DAINTY FEET.
CLARA Belle" Tells, in the Interests Of
Health, How to Care for Pedal
Extremities.

Let me record hydrOpathic freak
which the fashionable woman is indulg-
ing with her feet She takes Il dish of
some sort every night and pours cold
water into it to the depth of about a
quarter of an inch, and then puts her
bare feet into it for about five minutes
A brisk rubbing with rough, heated
towel follows. This is mighty comfort
able for soles that have been pinched by
tight shoes all day and intiamed by
walking or dancing. Besides, ] have it
on the authority of DR.. bio Lewis, who
knows great deal that is and isn't true
as to the medical aspects of woman's
dress, that it is healthy. He has in
Weighed against cOrsets, without con-
vincing me or any other wearer of them
that they are unimproving or very in
furious. He has failed, too, to induce
us TO transfer the weight of our skirts
from the hips where they are best borne,
to the shoulders, where they would be
irksome. But | guess he is right in his
theory about clothing the feet. while
the chest and hips may be overloaded, "
| heard him say in lecture this week,
1.-THE feet and legs are exposed; though,
even in the house they are always in the
coolest stratum of air Narrow solcs
and high heels check the circulation of
blood in the feet and there it is arrested
in its motion to and from the legs. Con-
gestion of the head and trunk is the
consequence, causing short breath, pal
pitation of the heart, congestion of the
liver and pain in the lower part of the
abdomen. To warm the legs by means
of skirts hanging some distance from
them is senseless. The garments should
be wooden, and should fit closely" But
what is the use of quoting bio Lewis
when he sets out to abuse our methods
of fashionable dress? All that l meant
to do was to give him as an authority
for the healthfulness of the quarter-inch
bath

In the waters of the Northern Pacific
swims what might be called the olive
of the sea-" 1t is the latest of all fishes,
and from it the oil actually drips-an
oleaginous fluid as sweet and limpid as
that of the olive. Some day this fish
which is nothing else than the rice or
reed bird fish-will be caught and
squeezed till the oil is all out of him.
The oil will be sent to Italy, and shipped
back in bottles as the best olive oil for
salad dressing.

How to Get Valuable Italian Lace.

When an Italian Countess has fiirted
for certain number of years, she falls
back on devotion, and on her death she
often bequeaths to church her old
lace. The churches are already over
stocked with these, offerings. They,
therefore, obtain permission from Rome
to sell them The sales, however, have
TO be conducted secretly, for. were they
known, the requests would fall off,
Any lady wanting lace should, therefore
make friends with some influential 1tali-
an priest. and get him to procure her
some. The difference between the sum
paid TO the priests by dealer and that
paid by customer to a dealer is often
300 and 400 per cent,
