Sizes of Boots and Shoes.

NominRlly there Is now one third of an
inch in length and one-tYelfth Of an inch
IN width between contiguous sizes Of
shoes. Thus: in wonlen's shoes the width
B IS supposed to be l 18th Of an inch
broader than the width A. Cts 18th
inch wider than B, and so on. T being
usually the extreme width Of women's IN
general use But the sensitiyeness of a
portion of the fair sex on the subject OF
vide feet has induced many manufactur-
ers to label their wide goods EE- This
width Is really l-12th broader than E.
Upon the notion Of getting close fit, also,
many ladies have got into the habit Of
calling for C and ], or D !. If such ey-
actness OF measurement were obtainable
It would signify that CT was 1-24th inch
wider than c. But, as a matter of fact.
no manufacturer splits his sizes as fine as
that Lengths Of shoes are almost as
much demOrsliZed as widths. The be-
ginning OF the scale II lengths Of shoes Is
a child's 0, which should be Just inches
IN length, and each additional size should
add One-third of an inch i child's o

C.p.,ity Of the HOr,e', Stomach.

The F1rps, FTsii and Soot1gdp has some in-
terestius facts concerning the horses stomach.
/ 1t saws; The capacity Of the horses stomach
is three gallons. The capacity Of that Of an OK
| is Eve gallons The horse must, from the size
of his stomach. receive food in small quantities
and frequently. The OK does not require 10
be fed SO frequently, for be car take very
| large meal at time, and then employ con-
siderable time remastioaiins il. The capacity
Of the pigs stomach is comparatively small :
two gallons-and the pig, therefore requires
TO be fed Frequently. The capacity OF the
sleeps stomach is in proportion to the OK
and it must be fed similarly.
Professor Dick found that horse not work
ing could be kept in fair condition on twelve
pounds OF hay and five pounds Of oats, bu, if
good amount Of work has to be done be should
receive fourteen pounds Of hay and twelve lbs
OF cats aud two pounds OF beans. We know
OF many horses that receive twenty pounds Of
oats and Two pounds Of beans, aud hay al lib..
but they are used for very fast work, and are
kept IN prime condition. The quantity Of sus-
ienance food depends on the nature Of the an
imal; some require very little, others great
deal. Young animals require far more than
old animals; fat animals more than lean ones,
and SO on. Two pecks Of steamed potatoes,
With niue rounds Of barley meal aud . little
salt, given every day to pig weighing twenty
fouE to tweuty-eight pounds, will make ii
prime fat 10 nine weeks
Messrs Lawes & Gilbert foond that if
400 pound OK were taken from grass aud puI

Bismarck Iron Ring.

There Is quite little romance associa-
ted with the large iron ring worn by
Prince Bismarck. The ring has the Rus
sian inscription of Nltschewo,n a word
much used by the Russians, and express
ing much the same meaning as our no
matter" This IS the story of the ring:
When Bismarck was Minister at-St. Peters
burg in 1862 he received in the winter an
invitation to an imperial hunt, which was
to take place at very considerable dis
lance from the capital. He turned up at
what he supposed to be the rendezvous
with plenty of time to spare, but unfortu
ateiy 1t turned out that he was still mat
ter of sixteen miles away. A peasant I'm
dertook to bring him to the spot in time.
and forthwith Bismarck and his guard set
off IN q sleigh with two diminutiye horses.
To the suggestion of the Prussian Minis
ter, who could only speak his own Ian
cuage, that the animals in front were
only rats, the driver returned a curt Nit
schewo.' You'll be sure to be in time 2"
again Yentured Bismarck after while
and the answer was another :" NltscheWO.n
The impatient huntsman complained that
the pace was not swift enough, and the
peasant, with "Nitschewo,7 dashed his
horses into such speed that Bismarck
began to upbraid him, The answer was
still the same A short time afterward
both occupants were thrown out, yet all
the satisfaction Bismarck could get from
his driver was Nitschewo.n Picking up
q piece of iron which had been broken
from the sleigh, the Prussian Minister
carried it back to st. Petersburg and had
ring made as memento of an adyen-
ture which might have had a more serious
end. This iron ring still adorns the finger
Of the Iron Chancellor When Bismarck
related this story he is said to have added:
My good Germans often reproach me
with being too indulgent to Russia but
they should remember alone in all Ger
many am accustomed in critical moments
to say Nitschewo' tho matter), while in
Russia 100000 people live who at the
same moment have 'Nitschewo' OF the
tongue. Pal Nall Gazette.

A Little Eastern wi.aom.

A maid in the East used TO say, Society
Is like q dish" A wise man once heard
these words and said. Fair maid. what
do Won mean p Sir" said the maid, I'll
You wish to know what mean You must
the wise man. The maid laid before
the sage plates Of salt, pepper, fish, and
other articles, each by itself. He could eat
none of these. Last of all the maid
brought dish of curried fish, and the
sage had his dinner. But where is the
meaning OF your saying 7" said the sage
l have explained it. said the maid Il
don't see it, said the sage why" said
the maid, You would not eat the salt, the
pepper, the fish, each by itself but when
they came together you had your dinner. y
you are quite right, fair maid, said the
philosopher the salt is tho witty man,
the pepper the tart man, the fish the dull
man, and all together make the one social
man. There is philosophy in the kitchen. y
\ despOt in the East once said to his
fawning courtiers, He that goes round
my kingdom in the shortest possible time
shall have one of these two gems" 4
courtier went round the king and said
NAAts may nave lut HAAGt AApN
so p said the king. Why, you are the
kingdom, are you not p said the courtier.
The despot was so pleased with the cour-
ter that he gave him both gems. The
other courtiers said, in whisper, Flat
terers prey upon fools"
One day king in the far East was
seated in the hall of justice. A thief was
brought before him he inquired into his
case, and said he should receive one hun
bred lashes with cato nine tails. In
stantly he recollected an old Eastern
saying, What we do to others in this
birth, they viii do to us in the next" and
said to his minister, =" l have great mind
TO let this thief so quietly, for he Is sure
to give me these one hundred lashes in
the next birth" Sire replied the min
lister, " l know the saying you refer TO Is
perfectly true, but you must understand
that YOU are returning to the thief in this
birth what he gave you in the last The
king was perfectly pleased with this reply,
SAYS the story, and gave his minister n
rich present.
\ man in the East, where they do not re-
quire as much clothing as in colder eli
mates, gave up all worldly concerns and
retired to a wood, where he built a hut
and lived in it. His only clothing was a
piece of cloth which he wore round his
waist. But, as luck would have it, rats
were plentiful in the wood, so he had to
keep q cat. The cat required milk to keep
1t, 50 COW had to be kept. The COW re
quired tending, so a COW boy was en-
ployed. The boy required house to live
in, so q house was built for him. To look
after the house amaid had to be engaged.
10 provide company for the maid, few
more houses had to be built and people
invited to live in them. In this manner a
little town sprang up. The man said,
