A Very Strange Story.

A remarkable story comes from Scho-
harie county, New York. The writer
says that few miles from Schenectady
resided couple, whose names are not
given, the wife being much the junior
Of her husband. They had lived to-
gether happily until a few days ago,
when the awful discovery was made by
the husband that he was the father of
his wife, having married her in total ig-
norance of the existence of any rela-
tionship between them, while the girl
was equally ignorant on the subject.
The explanation of this peculiar mar
riage is that eighteen years ago the son
of a wealthy farmer eloped with 10
year-old girl and settled in Esperance,
Iowa. They lived there several years.
In the first year of marriage daugh-
ter was born to them. The young wife
soon wearied of her husband, ard taxi
ing her child with her eloped with a
drummer. She lived with him at Chi
cago and her husband could find no
trace of her.
The daughter was unkindly used by
the man, and being high-spirited she
fed from home at the age of IA. On
the train she met a gentleman who dis
covered her situation and placed her in
the home of a respectable family. The
gentleman was much older than the
girl, but their friendship soon ripened
into love. When the girl became IL
years of age the two were married and
moved to Schoharie county. the former
home of the bridegroom. They soon
became the happy parents of little
girl and were living blissfuly together.
Now, the young wifes mother lover
had died, leaving his victim unprovided
for. She learned that her daughter
had married and settled in Schoharie
county, and she resolved to seek her
out and make her rhome with her. When
she arrived on the scene what was her
horror to find her former husband and
daughter living innocently together as
man and wife. Realizing the wrong
she had done she Immediately returned
to Schenectady and took the first train
for the west. The husband and wife,
or father and daughter, are almost fran
tic. They realize that their present re-
lations must be broken and that their
child is living monument to their in
nocent crime. The names of the par
ties are concealed for various reasons.

Three Kinds of Shoes.


Nothing can be so injurious to a
growing girls foot as to put it in shoe
pointed at the toe, thereby turning the
great toe inward. and producing one
of the greatest plaques Of life-corns,
or worse still, bunions. Young child
rem should invariably wear straight
shoes, with ''elastic waists" as they
are called, giving play to the muscles,
and which in adults permits the wear
er to walk long distances without fa-
tigue. If heels are used at all, they
should be low. There are three kinds
of boots and shoes-those made on
purely hygienic principles, without any
consideration as to fashion; those that
are purely fashionable, and the happy
medium that combines the two. /
should suggest TO my readers to con-
suit their interests by turning their at
tention to the third class. for it is de-
cidedly the right path. There are some
new inventions in waterproof soles,
some new pegged soles for running
shoes, and many for the riders on BIZ
cycles and tricycles. The 'cyclist shoe
seems to combine all the merits requir-
ed, for it prevents slipping and gives a
powerful grip on the tire IDLE, enabling
the wearer to ride up hill with compar-
ative ease. An excellent invention is
the damp-proof boot sole, which con-
sists of light metal plate, or skeleton
frame, provided with solid projections
or teeth, which are forced into and
through the outer sole from the upper
side. and are thus permanently imbed-
ded in the leather. 1t is an inexpen-
sive article, and suitable for all des-
criptions of boots and shoes, and per-
fectly pliable to the motion Of the foot.
The sole is prevented from running
over and the upper kept in place with
out the inconvenience of heavy nailed
boots. They are light and indestructi-

A Pittsburg prophet makes the asser-

A Pittsburg prophet makes the asser-
ton that in fifty years, perhaps in
twenty-five, coal will not be carried
from the mines to its places OF destina-
tion in bulk, but only its actual heat
energy transported, and that by wire.
This process, he says, can be accomplish
ed by converting the coal into heat, the
heat into motion and the motion into
electricity. A storage battery at Gin
cinnati would take it UP as fast as gen
Grated at the mines. From this battery
it could be taken out ami converted in
to motion and heat, or changed into
light. 1t is only matter of time,
perhaps, until this and still more won
dcrful things are done. And to-day,
we are told, Edison is working upon
some such idea as the above.
