THE FEET,

Warm.

Advice to the Aged About Keeping Them
Warm.
At this season of the year it is usual,
especially for the aged, to suffer. in
bed. with cold feet The usual remedy
is the use of hot bricks and the like,
carried to bed with more or less regu-
larity. for about five months of the
year. This. of necessity. aggravates
the difficulty, compelling one to depend
more or less on artificial heat, instead
of preventing the escape of the heat by
conduction.
Let it be remembered that the great
principle is that the human body gen.
crates its own heat. the only object in
this respect of the use of clothing being
to prevent the too rapid escape of such
heat generated by the lungs, etc. These
hcat-gcnerating powers, like all others
OF the system, will do much if COM
PEELED to, or they will lie dormant Just
To the extent that artificial heat is sup
piled.
II IS very injudicious for the aged
and those whose powers are reduced
from any cause, to thrust the feet into
'''' "at'i' tS IL IilttIlS VI INCREASING
the heat, since the shock is too great,
and since the temporary gain. if any,
will he followed by a loss of power,
which this class can not afford.
Instead of this injudicious course. let
something be done to increase the cir
culation Of the blood. that the warm
fluid from the heart-warmed in the
lungs, by an actual combustion of
the waste and worthless matter in them
may reach the cXtremities doing their
appropriate work. This may be
effected by friction of the whole sur
face. as by tlesh-brush, crash, etc,
or by exercise. 1t is good idea to
rub the bottoms of the feet on coarse
rug, or its equivalent, just before re-
firing. If this is not sufficient, instead
OF the constant use of the hot brick,
II is well to be sure to have the feet
warm on retiring. and then put them
into warm and thick rug, allowing
the two to come in contact. This will
ordinarily prove all that may be

The statement that the Princess Bea-
trice's sisters are jealous because her
mother gave her so much lace for we'd
ding present originated with a Radical
paper which has given itself up to saying
disagreeable things about the English
royal family. The truth is that a large
part ofthe lace in the outfit ofthe princess
was some which she herself discovered in
a forgotten nook of one of the royal pala-
ces few years ago. Still, if the three
elder sisters were jealous it would not be
strange, for even royal bushes do not
grow such laces as the queens. Years
from now, when one of them shall be an
empress, and another duchess, and the
third rich, thanks to her husbands econ
omy when Alexander shall be queen,
and Edinburgh and Connaught lord high
admiral and commander in-chief, it will
not be so easy to patronize the youngest
sister, with her laces killing all the tran
STORY splendor ofpasSing fashions. Good
little Beatrice She ought to be put ina
story book for children as "The Little
Girl who stayed at home with her Mama;
and What Happened to Her"

and escapades he was the acknowledge

lecture was to be delivered in the
chapel Of the university in which he
was student, "the boys determined to
have some fun, and as it was to be en-
tlrely original, the management Of the
altar was turned over to young Butler.
It was known that the prettiest girls Of
the town were to be present. Accord
lngly on the afternoon of the evening in
question Butler instructed each of his
companions to catch all of the swallows
possible and hold them in readiness for
the night. This was done, and the bows
assembled with one or more of the birds
concealed about his person. On entering
the hall the young collegians separated
and took seats in different portions of
the room, each keeping an eye on the
ruling spirit Of the hour. When the lee
ture was about one-third finished the
signal was given and the imprisoned
birds were released. Every swallow
made straight for light, and at the
same instant the gas was extinguished,
and the cry raised of "bats p The la
dies and children screamed, the boys
cried ''fre J" and the greatest amount Of
surreptitious kissing took place among
the students. When the lights were re-

dience had disappeared, and it was
deemed unnecessary to ask any ques-

In 1862, while good Queen Charlotte

and called its name Charlottesville.
There are a good many useful things
that the town, now a city, is noted for:
some of the finest schools in the state
are there; there are extensive wooden
mills, fine grain market, great wine
vaults, etc, A chosen gathering place
for statesmen in by-gone days. Wash
ington, Madison, ohm Randolph Of Roam
oke, Jefferson, Lafayette, Henry Clay,
and a host of celebrities and dignitaries
have been heard in yonder venerable
court house, with its quaint belfy, and
its bell which rings hoarsely, as if it were
tired ringing in and out the years with
their changes and would like to be qui-
ct and at rest. But it is rather to mirror
the life Of the lighter types of to-day,
that my pen dips its feather-weight in
ink, In the Virginia autumn, beautiful
as dream, the climate is full of balm
and restorative power for the invalid.
The place, too, has profound charm for
the Old Dominion bellies as a winter re-
sort, which may be accounted for by
the fact, that here the university of Vir-
gnia rearS its classic walls.
Not that our bellies are smitten with
the desire to study law, physic or divin-
lty, but to this university resort the flow
erotour southern youth, with a sprinkling

throwing away splendid chances of mar
rage, rather than abdicate her throne.
The golden circle of Hymen yet works
a wonderful transformation in our south
ern belle. The winsome, little eoouette
resolves herself into the dignifed, pru-
dent woman, whose highest ambition it
is to reign as fitting queen consortto the
man whom she elects her king.
The social demon of this place, as in
most places of its size, is caste, or it
would be demon did not its shadow on
the wall look more like a grinning
"What is it," Mrs. Bland thinks that
in virtue Of distinguished husband she
ought to take precedence of every other
woman in the town: another woman in
dlgantly reminds you that all her male
relations were in the army, a distinction
to which a good many of us might sor-
rowfully lay claim. Still another repre-
sentative Of imported British aristocracy,
a representative "power," as they say
in New England where, however,
much of the same spirit prevails-is de-
scended from family which dates from
the crusades. They, ofcourse, don'tpr
pose to be pushed aside by anybody.
And so we go round and round, until a
visitor whom nobody has ever yet been
able to convince that he was "not at
home" knocks at the door, and conveys
him to another and, let us hope, better
world. There is something approach
ing vulgarity, something that has
the ring of false metal about this sort
Of thing, no matter where found. All
this melee about social rank here, is
more rless, though by no means en-
tirely, regardless Of money. This ques-
ton Of rank, this phantom exists through
a sort Of myth worship. Blood, Iago,
