Ladies to go Barefoot.

Clara Belle, a fashion writer, has an
interview with an enthusiastic chirop-
dist, who said to her with much pro-
fessional feeling that he foresaw with
delight the abolition of shoes.
"And your trade would go with it, /"
she replied, "for shoes make corns."
"Oh, that part of my work would be
lost" he said, "but there would be
pleasanter duties instead. Did you
hear about the actress, Bessie Darling,
who played Lady Macbeth barefoot ?
She was historically correct, but the re-
markable thing in her exploit was the
disclosure of pair of perfect little feet.
Now, l hold that the feet of woman
should be as pretty as their hands, and
as much exposed to view. Of course,
l would let warm shoes be worn, as we
do gloves, but the coverings should be
loose and comfortable. In the house,
or anywhere else that you would go
without gloves your feet should also be
bare. Stockings should have no feet
to them any more than your dress
sleeves extend into mittens. AT all
events, nothing more than sandals
ought to be worn on the feet indoors.
Restored by freedom to shapeliness, rid
of the pallor of long Imprisonment,
cured of the corns and bunionS of dur
ance, and rosy and dimpled with
health, the feet of our girls would be-
come, like their hands, the themes oi
poets rhyming."

LaZineSS.

The Southern Ltve-StOek /on,naI fin
ishes talk about crows in this manner:
There is pest far worse than any crow,
that attacks our farms and tears up all
it can of the fruits of our labor. 1t is
the demon of laziness. He has been
fought in various ways, yet he gains
ground all the time. He works in a
very sly way. He comes and whispers
in the boys ear beautiful story about
the pleasure of city life. Whenever the
sun is hot, he points out the pleasant
shade under the trees. He dulls the con-
science by closing the eyes and forcing
sleep upon mind. He comes and tells
the girls that dairy work is vulgar and
that they should not work at all.
There is no one, weak or strong, high
or low, rich or poor, that he does not
try to injure. How shall we fight him /?
Scarecrows and bells and strings will
not injure him in the least. We must
frighten him, and there is way to do
that. He is afraid of work, and when
he sees man taking off his coat he
crawls into his hole. The only way to
keep him away from our farms and
homes is to make labor fashionable, to
put intelligence and common sense into
it. If we can do this, our homes will
be made secure.

"Read Less; Think MOre.'

The late Charles O'Conor, perhaps
the most profound lawyer New York
city has produced, gave a piece of ad-
vice to a young man which is as valua-
BILE as any legal opinion for which the
distinguished lawyer ever received
fee. A lad wrote to him, giving
long list of books which he had already
gone through, and asking advice as to
a course of reading. Mr.. O'Conor
replied that she had not only not read,
but had not known even by name one
half of the books his correspondent ap-
peared to have read. He would not
therefore, undertake to advise him
what to read, but he could safely ad-
wise him to read less, and think more"
This anecdote comes from recent num-
Der of the Century.
The advice was not, however, original
with O'Conor. In the Philadelphia
Zedger some time since an older author
ity was quoted to the same purport.
Probably the same sound wisdom could
be traced back to the time of the in
vention of printing. "Read less (of
trash) and think more has pithineSs
which makes the advice all the more
easy to keep in mind. And following
it would enable the temperate" read
er not only to think, but to remember
more of what he reads. Remember
ing more would give practical value
to the ideas acquired and the facts OBJ
tanned. Perhaps Mr.. O'Conor's opin-
ion on reading is to be qualified little
by his practice. 1t seems that his read
ing was very much confined to the pur-
poses of his profession. No doubt this
limit increased his wondeful efficiency
in his legal pursuits. But it would be
a great abridgment of mental freedom
to restrict the reader to his speciality
and forbid excursions outside of that.
The mind is enlarged by variety of
topics, and there is scarcely any sub
iect, however foreign to a thinking
persons daily life, from which he may
not derive some advantage. There is
nothing in the way of learning which
stands so much alone that it cannot be
illustrated by other and indeed appar-
emily dissimilar matters. Still the eau
ton holds good-to most readers
"read less and think more"

A REMARKABLE CURE.-I was suffering with
cough and pain in my side for the past two years
and grew extremely weak. During that time
had several physicians attending me, but deriving
no benefit from their treatment. They pronounced
my disease consumption. I concluded to try
Schroeder's Iron Tonic, not expecting it to cure
me, but merely using it as an appetizer and tonic.
After using three bottles was entirely cured of
my disease and feel stronger than I have for the
past eight years. F. PFAMMILLER,

Advantages in Weeping.

A French physician gives long dis
sertation on the advantages of groaning
and crying in general, and especially
during surgical operations. He con-
tends that groaning and crying are two
grand operations by which nature allays
anguish that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy in man to betray such symp-
toms of cowardice as either to groan or
cry. He tells of a man who reduced
his pulse from I26 to 60 in the course
of few hours by giving full vent to his
emotions. Ifpeople are at all unhappy
about anything, let them go into their
rooms and comfort themselves with
loud boo hoo, and they will feel 100
per cent better afterward. In accor-
dance with the above, the crying of
children should not be too greatly dis
couraged. What is natural is nearly
always useful, and nothing can be more
natural than the crying of children
when anything occurs to give them
either physical or mental pain.

Cleanliness Preserves the Teeth.

Cleanliness is all important in the
preservation of the teeth. Perfectly
clean teeth will not decay. Food re-
naming in contact with the teeth by
lodging between them, or somewhat
about them, is very prolific source of
carries or decay of the teeth. An article
from the British MedicaI Journal says:
''rhe general prevalence of dental carries
is chiefly owing to food remaining on
and between the teeth after meals,
from breakfast time until the follow
ing morning, when, according to GUS
tom, the teeth are brushed brushed, but
probably not cleaned, as the brush is
more often used to polish the surface
merely than to assist in removing what
has accumulated between them. EX-
periments have been referred to to
prove the solvent action of weak acids
on the teeth and | think it will be
conceded without proof that, were por-
tions of our food mixed and moistened
as in mastication kept during the night
at the high temperature of the mouth,
the compound would become sour. 1t
follows that dental carries must continue
to prevail as now while it IS the custom
to allow food to remain in contact with
the teeth. When the teeth are wide
apart food is not retained, and they
generally remain free from carries.
The lower front teeth are seldom at
tackled by carries when as is generally
the case, the spaces between them are
closed to the entrance of food by tar
ter. The backs of all teeth, upper and
lower, being kept free from food by the
tongue, are seldom affected by carries.
Lodgment of food takes place between
the bicuspids, between the molars in
the depression on the masticating sur
face of these teeth, and on the board
walls of the molars, and these are the
chief states of carries. While mastica-
ton is performed by the molars and BIZ
cuspids, the upper front teeth remain
free from food and carries; but when
they themselves are made to do the
work of lost or diseased molars, and
the food gets between them, carries is
OClldlA W AOllOW OOlOAO 1OlSs l. AliASA
proof cannot be required that, if no
food remained in contact with the teeth
after eating, they would be free from
carries, unless acted on by acidity from
other sources. The only indications,
therefore, for the prevention of dental
carries, are the naturalization of acid
applied to the teeth, and the removal
of food before it has become acid"
In conclusion it may be said that the
greater part of the decay of teeth might
be prevented by scrupulous cleanliness
and attention to the diet. The teeth
ought to be freed from all PARTICLES of
food between them by the use of wood
or quill toothpick after each meal, and
the use of brush at least every night.
1t is advisable to use little CASTLE
soap on the brush, which will neutral
ize any remaining acidity and assist in
preventing decay.

When the sun is low in the east,
And he does not mind our parting,
Does not mind it in the least,
For in the school room tell him
Is the place for boy to be,
So we say good-by with many smile
And he throws back kiss to me.
But oh at last in the evening,
When the sun is low in the west,
see him coming home to me,

I forget what say in the morning,
And 1 think we both agree
That in mothers lap by the fire side

Nobody Really Cares.
BY MARGARET EYTINGE.

Ifyou've anything to grieve you,
And fill your heart with fears,
IF poverty bides near you,
And your days are dimmed by tears,
If you find with soul despairing,
No answer to your prayers,
Don't say word about it, for
Nobody really cares.
If health and strength forsake you,
And pain and sickness bring
A gloom that clouds the sunshine
And shadows everything,
IF you feel that lot so weary
But seldom mortal bears,
Don't say q word about it, for
Nobody really cares.
This world is fond of pleasure,
And, take it at its best,
'Tis sadly bored unless you
Meet it with smile and JEST
1t yawns DER Wants complainings,
At Sorrow coldly stares,
So never tell your troubles, for
Nobody really cares.
-Harper's Magazine.

The Doctors Prescription.
Chicago Ne,os.


General Hunts father was one of the
homeliest men in Washington. He
was a physician. After he had prac-
ticed his profession for time he mar
ried Miss Ringold, one of the hand
soonest young ladies in all of Maryland.
This story of the marriage has been
told by an old Washingtonian: One
time l was visiting General Jackson's
family when he was an occupant of the
White House. During my stay I was
taken seriously ill, and the General
called upon DIR. Hunt to attend me.
When he came into my room, where I
was confined 10 my bed, President
Jackson came with him. The two
thought I was asleep, and, not wishing
to disturb me, they sat before the fire
and began conversation. l heard the
General say: 'Hunt, how did you ever
happen to marry Miss Ringold?' 'Tll
tell you,' said the physician when
she was attending boarding-school her
eyes became injured and she was blind
ed. I was called to prescribe for her.
For some time kept her eyes bandag-
ed, and she finally recovered her sight,
but she did not see me. About year
afterward we chanced to be together at
a reception. She knew that had pre-
viously attended her, and that evening
she came to me, complained of suffer
ing from severe cold, and asked me
to prescribe. I took from my pocket
a blank prescription and wrote: Or.
Hunt; to be taken immediately She
read it and looked up laughing. 'It's
bitter pill, Doctor and must be well
gilded if l take it, Our engagement
followed, and soon after we were mar
ried. l didn't have much gold to gild
the medicine, but managed to make
enough to keep her from starving
