WE cannot see wherein the Secre.
tary of State erred in accepting the
aid proifered by citizens Of London for
the Charleston sufferers. 1t would
have been a churlish violation of inter-
national comfy to have refused the
expressions of sympathy thus gcner-
ously and courteously rendered. OF
course the United States is able to take
care of its own, but that point is not at
all in issue, and as response to the
kindly interest displayed by the Eng
lish people would have been neither
smart nor decent.

AN ELECTION is going on In Maine
to-day for State officers, Representa-
tives In Congress and members Of the
Legislature. The campaign has been
short one, and on the part of the
Democrats an inactive and uneventful
one. The Republicans, on the con.
trary, engineered by Mr. Blaine and
assisted by numerous prominent
spokesmen and leaders of the party,
have made wha VITA more sharply de-
fined issues, would have been an un.

vass; while the Prohlbilionists, or third
party men, have also exhibited consid-
cradle energy and pluck in cause
which seems to have drfted strangely
from its old moorings and to have
taken u new departure In aid and com.
fort of the Administration Democracy.
There is little doubt as to the result on
the general ticket, but the opponents
OF Mr.. Reed, in the First Congressional
district, have been hattering themselves
with possibility Of success, based
upon various political diversions In
that district. The chances are, how

THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

6oana Of the Most Important Oualiflco-
items Which He should Possess.
He should be good-natured, and this
% such degree that though the sheep
"a their eagerness at feeding time should
happen to get him down and run over
him he will not fly mad and ill-treat
them (this is about as severe a test OF
good nature as can be given). He
sAouh be observant, should know the
sheep and see that every one has an
equal chance at its food, and if raising
early lambs he should be able to select
any lamb and its mother; in short, he
should see that everything is right, and
be able to instantly detect anything
wrong with any individual sheep. He
should possess good judgment, which
with his observation will enable him to
determine when the sheep are receiving
as much food as they can proftably eat
and digest, and when any change in the
proportions of the different ingredients
may be desirable. He should be gentle
and quiet; every movement made about
the pens should be so made as not to
disturb or brighten the sheep. Of two
men having the other qualifications, the
one nervous and quick in every motion,
the other quiet and even rather slow, |
would choose the latter, for, though he
might not accomplish quite as much in
a day, he would do what he did in such
way that the sheep would not
care for him and with the same food
they would make greater gain. He
should be nleth0dical and prompt A
sleeps stomach is as good as a clock
(better than some) and when it is time
for them to be fed they want it. and if
it is not forthcoming, they will rush
lmpatlently around the pen and soon
run OF as much flesh as the feeding
would gain, so that the shepherds should
feed every pen promptly on time, and
always III the same order. He should
lore the business, not alone for the
money it brings him but because he has
love for the sheep. No matter how
much the shepherd rets and fondles the
sheep and lambs, never find fault as in
tbs ease he will never abuse or neg
lect them, and the sheep are as quickly
won as any other animal, and if we'll
treated they soon come to know the at
teIdant, and his presence does not dis
turb CT d squiet them. OF course, it
goes without saying that the shepherd
be strictly and conscientio,isly honest;
otherwise he will shirk as much as pos
sible and when not watched neglect the
sheep. and in no other animal does
neglect tell so quickly or disastrously-

CARE OF THE FEET.
Course of Treatment Recommended to
Ladies SufFerin From Corns, Etc.

| Course of Treatment Recommended tt
Ladies Suffering From Corns. Etc.
Ladies whose feet has become mis-
| shapen from excessively narrow boots
can do much to remedy the difficulty BY
care and pains. Select easy, roomy
shoes and stockings of soft fabric.
Battle the feet thoroughly in water com.
fortably warm, never allowing it to
grow cold enough to feel chilly, and
wipe them thoroughly dry with soft
towel-coarse crash is almost poison to
| sensitive skins, and often causes irrita-
ton and small eruption like rash.
Then rub into them thoroughly about
the joints or injured parts cold cream,
OF what is better, glycerine, perfectly
pure, and mixed with double the guam
tity of water. Especially should it be
diligently applied in the joints of the
great toes if they are enlarged or pain
full Wipe off with damp cloth and
dry carefully, after which powder the
feet thoroughly with rice -four powder.
Brush off all that comes away easily
and put on the stocking, being careful
that no semblance of a seam comes
over the sensitive joint. Adjust the
shoe carefully-never Jump into' any
article of wearing apparel-smooth the
boot over the foot and ankle, if it is a
high top, and be certain that it is COM
Portable.
These cautions may seem trifes, but
the feet are i'll, and all conditions of re-
covery must be observed Take care
that they do not get very cold or in the
least damp. The ankle should also be
protected by CATERS or leggings, if
there is any necessity for going out in
wet weather. The difficulty is in in
fammation of the joint membranes,
and has had many serious results. At
night the feet NAV be wiped off with q
damp cloth, and the glycerine and pow
der repeated. Ladies who adopt this
plan will never find soft corns coming
between the toes. For hard corns there
is nothing better than a little judiciously-
applied caustic, which should Just touch
the hardened part of the corn, never
the surrounding flesh. Repeat every
other day, first soaking the feet in warm
water and gently scraping the surface
of the corn until it will finally come out
altogether. Great care must be taken
to keep the caustic from the whole flesh,
and the foot should never be damp, as
the application will spread rapidly.
Such course of treatment, patiently
followed, has in several cases restored
to quite passable shape and comfort
feet that were considered as hopelessly
deformed.-Demorest's Monthly.

The Famous Moscow Bell.

The far-famed bell exceeded nv
school-day expectation as to size, and
not to mslead in speaking of it l tried
my measuring-tape around it. 1t at
first hung-if ever it was hung-on a
low wooden frame within the Kremlin
walls. The frame was accidentally
burned. and when the bell fell to the
ground a piece seven feet high was
broken from its disk. | was not there

the assertion that that bell, with down.
ward orifce of twenty-six feet diameter,
was not buried in the ground, a, his
torians record was the case. The bell
measures 70 feet in circumference and
Is, think, about 20 feet high. I am
aware that cyclopedists give the meas
urement as 50 feet in diameter and 10
feet ) inches as the hight. Against this
simply set my own measurement.

The State Prison at Milan.

Not very far away from the foro is the
State prson-as sacred to the Lom-
bardese as Chillon is to the Swiss
where the Boniyards of Milan had to
spend decades on decades of their years
under an Austrian lock and key because
they refused to bend the knee to Aus
>rian tyrants. 1t seems that the foreign
garrison CHARTERED in this town did
every thing it could to earn the hatred
and oppobrium of the inhabitants.
Almost a generation has, however,
passed away since the despot was driven
from the land. Since 1859 Lombardv
has had no Austrian lancers prancing
on its plains, no Austrian flag floating
from its battlements, and yet these peo-
pie do not forget and will not forget the
wrongs done to them. They mutter
vows Of vengeance and look forward
with feverish ardor to the day when
they win be allowed to march across the
frontier and snatch Triste from the
sanguinasy oppressor. . Cor. San

Production Of Wire Netting.

The many uses found for wire netting
have led to its greatly increased pro-
duction of late years. In 1912 its con-
sumption in Europe is stated to have
been only 10, 000yards per annum, while
at the present time it is estimated to be
about 10000, 900 yards per annum. In
its production some 420 machines are
employed, 800 of which are in operation
in Great Britain, 100 in France, and
only 20 in Germany, which latter country,
curiously enough, is large producer of
wire used in the manufacture of netting
in England.-N 7. Post.

years old. She was small and plump.
with soft yellow curls falling from the

eyes were of twinkling blue. They
took the seat back OF the cowboy. For
about ten minutes She lsped questions
to her father about the people in the car
and how soon he supposed they would
see Mamma and FIdo. But after time
her father took a paper from his pocket
and the little girl looked out of the win

and tried to make friends with her. He
asked all the questions that grown pco-

By falling from wagon when the horses ran
away.
She has most asthmatic wheeZe whene 'er
she tries to cry,
And when she wants to cough or sneeze, out
falls her only eye.
One dav, when she went out to walk, her
nurse quite angry grew,
And punched the other optic out, and left this
one askew.
So. with her badly battered nose ana sadly
squirting eye,
It's plain to see her handsome days have
long since passed her by.e
Her hair is getting very thin. She can not
wear comb.
There's not enough to braid or curl, ard so,
when she at home,
They twist it up as best as they can, and tie 1t
with string.

cheap next spring.
She's kept her bonnet on, or late whenever
But doesn't mind it if you laugh about her
getting bald.
For al she has a broken nose, for all her hair
is thin,
For all one eye is gone, and she can't keep the
other in.
