Female spies on erring humanity
are as ubiquitous as flies here now,
says New York letter. Somehow, it
seems rather strange and unfemi-
nine occupation for woman to serve
in the role of a spy, yet there is scarce
ly store in the city where dry goods
are sold but employs corps of female
detectives. As rule, women scent a
clew more readily than a man-they
are sort of intuitive spies-not very
flattering characteristic, but neverthe-
less true. And when a woman detect
i've catches her victim she is invariably
more pitiless than male officer would
be. A woman who becomes a detec-
tivemust necessarily relinquish all FEM
mime individuality, as the experience
she must unavoidibly undergo in
such capacities gives her coarseness
of manner not calculated to inspire re-
spect, such as modest lady is won't
to receive. The sharpest female detec-
tives are employed in the custom
house; they are expert physiognomists
that is, they can invariably read the
smuggler's guilt on his or her face.

A Ceur D'alene Town.

We quote from an article by Eugene
V. Smalley, in the Century, on the rise
and decline of the recent Idaho mining
craze: A more unattractive place than
Murray have seldom seen. The trees
have been cleared away. leaving a bare
gulch into which the sun pours for six
teen hours day with fervor which
seems to be designed by nature to
make up for the GOODNESS of the short
July nights, when fires are needed.
Stumps and half-charred logs encum-
Der the streets, and serve as seats for
the inhabitants. Chairs can only be
found in the principal gambling estab-
lishments. Every second building is
drinking-saloon. Newspapers sell for
"two-bits' (twenty-fve cents) apiece.
Desc onding the hill into the town, we
encountered procession of perhaps
three hundred men. marching after a
long board box. 1t was the funeral of
a printer who had been shot by his en-
ployer, theleditor of a local journal, for
demanding his pay. The propriety of
lynching tic editor was discussed
after the funeral, but as the judge of
the district was expected next day to
hold court, it was decided to let the
law take its course. The town was
full of men out of employment and out
'of money, who hung about the saloons
and cursed the camp in all styles of
profanity knownt to miners vocabulary
Nevertheless, gold was being shipped
out every day by Wells. Fargo & Co.'S
express, and new discoveries were con-
stantly reported. All the facts point
ed to rich auriferous region. The
men who were making money kept
quiet, worked early and late on their
claims, and let the talking of the town
be done by those who had neither the
means to open claims, nor to live on
while holding them.

A Chapter Oh COrns,

Nearly everybody in this country has
corns, young, old, high, low, rich, poor;
and there appears to be special crop
of them at this season of the year.
This corn ailment is assuming serious
aspect as the population is coming to be
full Of cripples. How many men could
do days march, say of twenty-five
miles, in the shoes they wear and not
be completely used up at the end of
the journey? How is it that men and
women may exercise good judgment in
everything else and be altogether astray
in buying pair of shoes? What is to
blame for all these corns and the human
misery they entail? The responsibility
is equally divided between the shoe
maker and the wearer. Corns are
caused by friction-not direct and i'm
mediate, but gradual; and here it is
that leather of a light texture causes
corns. When a man buys pair of
boots or shoes of light material, no
matter how disproportionate they are
how tight, the pressure at the time is
not sufficient to cause any direct un-
easiness, owing to the pliability of the
leather. The foot fits the shoe, and not
the shoe the foot. After week or two
of wearing the foot has come in con-
tact with the several sinuosities of the
shoes-the corn has been growing
gradually and the cuticle becomes
thickened, and circulation is impeded
and hence the pain. Cutting the hard
and thickened cuticle restores the cir
culation, and gives relief for the time
only to be aggravated again by friction
with some surface. Heavy leather is
the best remedy for corns and for this
reason, having greater power of re-
sistance, the wearer is at once made
aware of the pressure on any particular
part of the foot, and he instinctively
throws them off, when finer texture
would delude him into wearing them,
until the gentle pressure produces a
corn. Firm, pliable leather, with
sufficient toe room, and to know "where
the shoe pinches,' is the panacea for
corns.-London Free Press.

Salt Air,

of extracting salt from the atmosphere.
Butthis is an II and not the proper
use of language. Did salt actually
exist in the atmosphere our lungs
would be in pretty pickle. Salt is
mineral substance and exists in air
about as much as iron or gold or brick

about is remarkable chiefly as coming

POnular FallacieS.

1t would add many years to the av
erage longevity of our species if we
could free the next generation from
the curse of the following fallacies,
which are either direct sources of dis
ease or add an unnecessary burden to
the cares and troubles of domestic life:
The idea that cold baths are healthy
In winter and dangerous in midsum-
mer; that rain-water is more whole
some than "hard" water; that bed
rooms must be heated in cold weather;
that the misery of everlasting scrub
bing and soap-sud vapors is compen-
sated by the comfort of the lucid in
teryals; that o sick-room must be kept
Theoretically closed; that it paya to
save foul air for the sake of its warmth;
that draughts are morbilic agencies;
that catarrhs are due to low tenn
perature; that even in midsumme
children must be sent to bed at sun
set, when the air just begins to be
pleasant; that an after-dinner nap can
do any harm; that the sanitary condi-
tion of the air can be improved by the
fetor of carbolic acid; that there is any
benefit in swallowing jugfuls of nau-
seous sulpher water; that rest after
dinner can be shortened with impuni-
ty; that outdoor recreation is waste
of time; that athletic sports brutalize
the character; that a normal human
being requires any other stimulant

How Clay Took Defeat.

The following interesting incident
was related many years ago by Mrs.
Robert Todd, of Kentucky. the step
mother of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, and
has never before been printed, accord
ing to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
The Todds and Clays were always
on intimate terms, and in 1874 wer
, living near each other in Lexington,
Ky. Henry Clay and James X. Polk
were then rival candidate, for the
Presidency, the chances, as was gene
rally supposed, being strongly in favor
of the great Whig leader. AS it
turned out, however, the contest was
much closer than had been anticipated,
and finally advices from other states
showed that the result hinged upon
the vote of New York There was no
telegraph in those days, and news had
to come by the slow course Of mails.
The New York mail was due in Lex
ington about 10 o'clock in the evening
of certain day. and it was known
would tell the story of victory or de-
feat. AS it happened, young lady
relative of Mr.. Clay was to be married
on the same evening, and insisted up
on his presence. though under the Cir
cumstances he would much rather
have remained at home. Mr.. and Mrs.
| Todd attended this memorable we'd
ding party, which was not lar5e, and
composed almost exclusively of the
family connections and intimate
friends-all ardent Wings, and of
course deeply interested in the pending
political event.
As the hour for the arrival of the
mail approached, Mrs. Todd saw two
or three gentlemen quietly leave the
room, and knowing their errand
watched eagerly for their return.
When they came in she knew by the
expression of each countenance that
New York had gone Democratic. The
bearers of the bad tidings consulted to-
gether moment in corner, and then
one of them advanced to Mr.. Clay. who
was standing in the center of a group,
and handed him a paper. Mrs Todd,
aware of what it contained, fastened
her eyes upon him. He opened the
paper, and as he read the paragraph
which sounded the death knell of his
political hopes and lifelong ambition,
she saw distinct blue shade begin at
the roots of his hair, pass slowly over
his face like cloud, and then disap-
pear. Without saying word upon
the subject which must have monopo-
lized all his thoughts, he laid down the
paper, and, turning to table, filled
glass with wine, and, raising it to
his lips with pleasant smile, said: II
drink to the health and happiness of
all assembled here" Setting down
the glass, he resumed the conversation
as if nothing had occurred, and was, as
usual, the life and light of the compa-
ny. But Mrs. Todd said that as soon
as the contents of the paper were
known "a wet blanket fell upon every
body" and in half an hour all the
guests had departed with heavy hearts
feeling that gallant Harry of the
West" had fought his last Presidential
battle and lost the prize forever.

Patient With the living.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gons
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need Of grace

Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing,
What tender truth shall We have gained,

Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover,
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Dur steep hill-path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou andr,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
