Contributor.

contributor.
Democrats who are interested in having
members of their own party secure the Of
fees have evidently been vigilant. This
observation applies particularly to places
in the Departments. Some agile Demo
Gratis have succeeded in getting tran,
script of the record of contributions made
to the Republican Local Finance Com
mittee, whose headquarters were in this
city during the campaign. The transcript
gives the names of all who contributed,
when they contributed and what amounts
they gave to aid the Republican cause.
Many Republicans know that such q
transcript has hcen received for they
have been told by their Democratic friends
to "look out; you are spotted!
"Why?' has been the interrogatiye an
swer
"Oh, on such day" giving the date,
''you contributed so much to help Blaine,
and on such another day" again giving
the date, "you contributed so much more;
you are an offensive partisan" Such con-
Versations have been numerous. The Re
publicans are asking how it was possible
for the Democrats to have procured the
lists. Mr., Clapp, who was chairman OF
the Local Finance Committee, has been
asked about it. He does not believe that
the pretended knowledge of the Demo.
cratslis accurate, or in fact that they have
any but general idea of who made con-
tributions.
at il to be remembered however, that
the contributors made no concealment
of what they had done, except in few
instances Many of them were even anX-
ious to have it known that they had come
up One of the contributors, of whom it
is said'that he did not want the fact that
he had subscribed To the Republican fund
made public, was Professor Gregory Of the
Civil-Seryice Commission
The fact that Professor Gregory had con
tributed was one of the secrets of the can-
paign. The Critic reporter knowing IL,
asked him about il. Professor Gregory
then said in substance: "Hcs, | have given
my contribution to Mr.. Clapp's committee.

lican and wanted the Republican candi-

WOMEN'S SLIPPERS.
Some Injurious Effects of Their Thought
less lISp.

less Use.
a gentleman who had travelled great
deal and spent some years in England was
speaking of English women, and eXpa-
tfatcd, as usual, ON their good health as
compared with American women and the
long walks they took, and finished with
the remark "But the English ladies never
wear their thick shoes in the house; they
always change and put on slippers" This
idea, says the Toronto Mail, seems to pre-
vail to great extent among American
women also, that IL is the proper thing to
wear slippers in the house This may be
n good plan for those who live in houses
kept mt II summer heat ut all times, and
never 90 out except when attired for visit
ing shopping, or something of the kind.
1t is also Il relief to the weary housckecper
who has been on her feet all day to sit
down in the evening with her slippers on.
Butthc practice of wearing slippers in
the morning, when one is liable to be
called upon to step out doors ut any mo-
ment while the grass is wet with dew, is
productive OF wet feet which in its turn is
one of the most fruitful causes of colds
and all the evil that follow in their train.
In the fall and winter months, too, the
floors are cold in the morning and good
thick-soled shoe is much more comfortable
than low cut slipper, even though the
latter may appear little more like house
dress. The fact that they can be so much
more easily and quickly put OH than Il
shoe may perhaps be one reason for pre-
ierring them, but that should not be con-
sidered for a moment.
We are not speaking of the wear of
slippers during the hot and sultry months
of summer, but the common practice
among women of wearing them eXclu-
sively around the house. Men are fond
of dOnning the dressing-gown and slippers
in the evening after the chores are done,
but they do not wear them around their
work. Although they may be rest and
change then, something that will support
the ankles is very useful and essential. 1t
is a great inconvenience, too, to be obliged
to change ones shoes TO go out on an
errand or To step outdoors. Women
would often be more willing to take walks
were ii not for the trouble of getting ready.
Not to, dispense with slippers altogether
for, rs we have said, they are often useful,
we think the general health of women
would be improved by wearing high shoes
more and slippers less.

Water is Dame Natures most character
istic blunder. Il Is q thoroughly femi-
nine creation. AS a fluid, IL is unneces-
sarily wet as solid, it is perniciously
slippery; and as a yapor, il is unreason-
ably explosive.
But Nature is proud Of it, and revenges
herself for any slight uponit. The ante
liluvians refused to believe in it, and
were nearly all drowned. And ever
since that time the bad weather has been
ninety-nine per cent. water.
Man has sought out many inventions
TO mitigate the evils of water. He adopted
milk. Nature invented milkmen. He
built houses TO protect himself from the
obnoxious element. She follows him up
with plumbers.
She lies i'm wait for him with it. The
sunshiny and seductive cucumber, which
doubles him up, and the melancholy
watermelon, which fiattens him out, are
made almost wholly of water.
When boy, she tempts him TO 60
swimming, and he gets logged; when a
man, he goes sailing for pleasure, she
makes him seasick. She lures him
into the exasperating occupation of fish
ing, and straightway he destroys his
moral character with fish stories.
Each season torrents him with q
watery woe Of its own. In beautiful
spring the freshet sweeps away his prop
erty; in summer the tornado blows him
from the face of the earth; in winter he
sits down hard upon the ice.
He digs himself well and the neigh
bors become visitation upon him. He
makes cellar beneath his house, and
the foods prevail against it.
He comes into the world-to be
washed; he goes through life carrying
an umbrella; and when disguised, he
dies, his friends think it necessary to
weep more water over him before he is
left to sleep with his fathers.
Verify all is vanity and-water. = Ter

Lumsden's Exploit.

A good story is told in Washington,
says letter to the Cincinnati Times Star,
of Sir Peter Lumsden, the British com
missioner on the Afghan boundary ques-
tion. Lumsden, il is said, is good
deal of student and linguist, and
amused himself a good while ago by
studying the Hindustan dialects until he
was able to speak them well.
When Sir Frederick Roberts was on his
way to Candahar few years ago it was
of the utmost consequence that he should
have some accurate knowledge of the
route, and the forces likely to oppose
him in the mountain passes. This in
formation Sir Peter Lumsden volunteered
to obtain. Three days elapsed and he
had not returned, and General Roberts
began TO be seriously concerned for the
safety of his staff officer.
The general was sitting in his tent the
fourth day when q falxir, or holy man,
suddenly appeared riding furiously down
the mountain side and wanted to pass
the sentinel. He was almost naked, the
only garment he wore being pair of
dusty trousers made of goatskin. His
hair nearly reached to his waist as it
hung down his shoulders and back, and
the arms were covered with paste made
of sandal wood ashes mixed with castor
OIL A rude water bottle was suspended
from belt at his waist. which also held
a tulwar, the Indian short, heavy sword,
twenty inches long, habitually kept as
sharp as razor. Al rosary of sandal
wood, consisting of ninety mine beads,
beads, completed the equipment. The
man dismounted from his mountain pony,
leaving the beast. whose heaving tanks
told of hard riding, standing, and in dia-
lect of Pushtoo or Afghan asked to see
the head sahib. The Highlander did not
understand and motioned him back. just
then General Roberts came out, and
keeping wary eye on his visitor, asked
him Whist he wanted. The visitor, in
barborous jargon, made the general un-
derstand that he desired q private inter
view
Thoughts Of assassination flashed
through the Englishman's mind. but,
being armed with q revolver of tried ex-
cellence, he concluded he could hold his
own in any case, and asked the man to
come into the guard tent near at hand.
When they were alone the falxir said |:
ssDont you know mef' It was Lums-
den, whose disguise, dirt, wig and all,
had been so perfect as to be even unsus-
pected. The information he obtained
enabled Candahar to be captured and
rendered the campaign q successful one.
For this service General Lumsden was In
July, 1881, commissioned major gen
eral Of the Bengal staff and given large
grant of money, amounting to about
300. 600.
