Those dear little rcd-top boots ex-
claims u writer in the Shoe and Leather
Resiejr. Do you remember them-the first
pair you wore? You can close your eyes
and see them again-stiff points of beauty
i'll your eyes they We're, and black and
heavy soled. And what those red tops and
bright copper toes The memory Of them
brings you back TO that period in your life
where infancy passed into boyh0od, and
where dreams came to you of being a big
man. They marked the beginning of your
independence, Of your strength of your
recognition as one of earth's creatures.
Better far-they brought surcease of ridi-
cule. SO CALLING to Il boys pride, for they
came with pants and short hair, in place of
dresses and curls. How often have you
gone sobbing to your mother, your heart
full of grief aud modification, because a
bigger boy had pulled your hair and callee-
you girl The changes came nil at once.
Mother made the pants, aud one evening she
brought home the red-top boots Then she
put the scissors into your soft curls, cut
them of, kissed them, and laid them away.
She was sorry 10 see the baby become q
boy; but how your soul swelled How
you longed for the morning that YOU
might wear them! How joyfully you cried
out to little Billy Brown, across the street,
that you had pants and bootsw And
Billy probably answered, sullcnly: a don't
care > while all the time he was filed with
envy.
How changed was your spirit after this
You were no longer shy; you no longer
played with the little girls You stuffed
the pockets of your pants full of strings
and nails, and was imbued with desire to
fight and throw stones. You walled brayely
in the puddles, and proudly assured the
other boys that the boots didn't "leal;
bit"
Dear little boots We revere your mem
ory. You are to the boy what the sweet
heart is to the youth what the bride is TO
the man. Who would not turn back the
wheel Of time and again embrace you

Marshal Ireland, visited the City Hall and
asked the City Marshal what he meant
Two of them took hold of the rope to raise
the flag when they were seized by Mormon
policemen, who threatened to put them in

the City Marshal thirty minutes to raise
the flag or take it down, and he did tie

theater and demanded that the flag be
raised which was done.
A meeting of Gentiles was held in the
afternoon, and q committee appointed t0

complied with the request. A large crowd
then gathered in front of Zions Co-opera-

to force their way into the building and
raise the flag, but the Mormon police kept

CURVATURE OF THE SPINE-A reporter
called upon a popular physician for a few
facts in regard to lateral curvature of the
spine. g desire to ask about its cause and
whether it can be cured, said the writer
- In the first place let me answer emphat-
ically that it can be cured, said the doctor.
The causes of lateral curvature of the
spine are many One-half of them, how
ever, can be attributed to the want of en-
ergy, want of life enough to sit up straight
and it is very common for young girls and
ladies to sit with their backs twisted and
bent in half-curved position while read
ing, etc. Nurses carrying children on the
same arm Will in time become subject to
this deformity. The other half of the cases
of this kind arise from obliquity of the
pelyis, from the shortening of a limb, mus
cular debility during convalesccace weak
ness of the ligaments during too rapid
growth" ;" etc

a STRANGE PEr.-Snake charming is an
old accomplishment, but boa constructors
have not yet become common pets for the
household. There is pet boa constructor
III Stockton, however, the especial care of
Miss Alta Rhodia, who is to exhibit the
snake soon in the Pacific museum. Last
evening Il reporter visited the lady and her
snake, and found the reptile co.ie.i COM
fortably on the bedroom If,re0a. Miss
Rhodia caressed the constructor, which is
eleven feet long, and placed it around her
neck. The snake seemed quite contented
there, and raised its head to Miss Rhodias
face for further caress. The snake has
the freedom of the room, hanging over the
bureau, chairs or other furniture, and, ac-
cording to Miss Rhodia, often sleeping with
its mistress. When she is reading or sew
ing the snake crawls over her lap and
shoulders, and in every way is as friendly
as any other pet.-[Stockton Independent.

NEARsIGHTEpNEss IN CHILDREN. - En-
courage the pupil TO look off the book fre-
quently, to change the focus OF sight by
regarding some distant object. 1t is not
enough TO look around vaguely; the eye
must be directed to something which must
be clearly seen, like picture or motto on
the wall, or bit Of decoration. The great
est damage TO the eye of students is the
protracted effort TO focus the printed page.
1t was simply barbarous, the way We used
to be "whacked' in school when we looked
off the book. Il is easy to The teacher to
know the difference between the resting of
the eyes and the idle gazing around that
cannot be allowed. We regard this rule as

Not GOING TO BE \ DUDE.-A young
lady, a Sunday-school teacher in a church
pretty near the corner Of Gilmore street and
Lafayette avenue, was on Sunday defining
faith to her class Of young Americans, aged
from six to ten years. She set about her
task in practical way, " Faith in any
thing" she said, is to believe that some
thing existed which could not be seen.
Suppose she said, your papa should tell
you he had put SO in the bank for you.
and that you might draw ii from the bank
when you grew older. You did not see
the money put in, but you know it is there
because You believe what your papa tells
you, and when you grow up and want the
money YOU dress yourself mp, with your
gloves Jn, and your high hat and youl
cane, and you" At this juncture the
teacher was startled by one of the boys who
cried out What are you giving us? DO
you think I'm dude?' The young lady
says that she felt PROSTATE, and that ii will
be some time before she stirs up the ques-
ton Of faith again Baltimore American.
