A Small Variation in Temperature.

Temperature is mainly the secret Of

the difference of o degree or two in the
cream when it goes into the churn is suf-
fcient to produce q vast amount of

butter not coming, and butter not gath

Nominally there is now one-third Of
an inch in length and one-twelfth Of an
inch in width between contiguous sizes
of shoes. Thus: In women's shoes the
width b is supposed TO be 1-12th of an
broader than the width A. G is 1-19
inch wider than Il, and so on, F being
usually the extreme width of women's
shoes in general use.
But the sensitivencss of u portion OF
the fair sex on the subject Of wide feet
has induced many manufacturers to
label their wide goods EE. This width
is really LIE broader than +. Upon the
notion Of getting close fit, also, many
ladies have got into tho habit of calling
for C and 1-2, or ID and 1-9. Ii such
exactness of measurement were obtaina-
BILE it would signify that C1-2 was LEA
inch wider than G. But as a matter Of
fact, no manufacturer splits his sizes as
fine as that
Lengths Of shoes are almost as much
demoralized as widths. The beginning
of the scale in lengths of shoes Is a
child's 0, which should be just four
inches in length, and each additional
size should add one-third of nm inch. A
child's 0 being four inches in length, a
chiId's would consequently be five
inches long, and 10 would be six and
one-third inches in length. The numbers
then begin at again, which is six and
two-thirds inches long. A mans 8 should
be nine inches long

plemi.:... which Mar Our Hooks.

Recent bo,,k-making has developed
many innovations In taste that are quos-
tionable. One of these is the unpunctu-
ated title-page. The lates. English and
American publications now display title
pages griltless Of punctuation Of any
sort, save that which is incidental to
abbrc Nations. There is no justification
whatever for this, more than there would
be for continuation of this state of af-
fairs all the way through the book. A
common blemish of English books is the
lack of dates indicating the year in
which the book was published. This
fashion has only obtained within the last
twenty or thirty years. The reason
given is that booksellers do not wish pur-
chashers to know the age Of the books
they buy. Luckily in this country books
can not be copyrighted unless they are
dated. 1t is absolutely impossible to
learn without writing TO the publishers
what year certain English magazines rep
resent, the month and the volume being
alone indicated
Another fault is the omission Of the
folio upon which new article begins.
This is done TO save underlying. Gaia
loguers find many such obstacles in Eng
lish books and magazines. Another snag
they strike is the English habit of using
a mans title or office instead of his giren
name, as Principal Sharp, Canon Farar,
Prebendary Reynolds, etc. Until recently
few English magazines attached the
names of authors to the articles, and this
has been the cause of no end of mystery
and confusion. Harper's Magazine did TIN
same until about ten year ago. Authoru
Of historical books often write the chap
sers full of references to months and
lays, but to discover the year one has to
read sometimes good share of the book.
These are but few Of the blemishes
which keep our books from mechanical

Curioslties of AN AntiseptIe Climate.

One of the most curious results of my
observations is that the climate of
Damaraland possesses what we might
call an antiseptic character for several
months of each year. The quality is an
attendant of the long annual drought.
Every living thing suffers during that
period from the excessive heat and
much comfort is impossible, even in the
shade, while in places exposed to the
warm winds the thermometer has risen
% 1873 degrees; and the sand, unmoistened
or six months, becomes so hot that ]

Cooperative Embellishments in France.
Paris has seventy-four cooperative

resented--and furniture makers, builders,
carpenters and jewelers. also having their
cooperative concerns. Their combined
capital is little over So, 100000, but
ibis, as well as their number, can not
make much of an impression in great
center Of industry like Paris. The most
successful of them are managed by men
Of shrewdness, on strict business princi-
pies, and not as philanthl opic schemes,
and they employ outside labor, getting
5he full amount of work or wages with
out giving these recruits any participa-
ton in the profits. ....
There are only thirty co operative
stores in Paris, with 10000 members,
and in all France not over 100, as against
the 1900 and more in England. Never
theless, the system of participation in the
profits is favorite panacea in France,
and it is proposed that in Paris and else
where all public contracts should ba
awarded only to those employers who
are willing to adopt this as part of their
method of dealing with their workmen.
The greatest of the French insurance
companies and the largest French print
ing establishment have tried it for many
years, with fair success; but the employees
in both cases are very different from
those employed in ordinary work, shift
ing and changing as work and wages
vary.-San Francisco Chronicle.
