Reform in Shoes.

''We tind," said a fashionable shoe maker to Philadelphia Press reporter, as he twisted a porpoise-f leather shoe string around his forefnger, ''that women have virtually discarded fashion in shoes and I believe it is chiefly due to the newspapers. You remember four or five years ago, when high-heeled shoes, were the thing? Well, everybody wore them, even the old women I knew one little lady over eighty years old who wore high-heeled shoes and slippers ln- til she died. In order to make a woman S foot look small the high heel was set for ward until it was under the ball of :he foot. There is no doubt that such shoes are very injurious, and that more than one woman has ruined her feet by wear ing them. The newspapers made an outcry against the fashion and the people came to their senses"
 ''Do not Philadelphia women wear stylish shoes9'
 ''Yes, and they wear very expensive ones, too. But everything is changed now. There is really no set fashion in shoes. Women here are very sensible about their feet. As rule they have small feet, and can afford to look to com fort combined with style. We rarely put high French heel on shoe now, ex,ept in the case of some one very short who is anxious to look tall. It is more the proper thing here than anywhere I know to wear low, broad heels, set in the proper place on the shoe, and I don't know of any street in any city where you see more stylish girls, feet and all, thar you do on Chestnut street. But low heels are not all the improvements Everybody must wear square-toed shoes now; in fact, the most fashionable thing to do is to wear the most thoroughly com fortable shoe. Men are coming around to the same idea. Not even the dude thinks of cramping his feet now. They have come to the conclusion that women like men best who look as they had something to stand on."

number in reply. Those which give best results were dusting the roots of the cab- bage with fine bone dust and the appli- cation of one teaspoonful of caustic shell lime to each plant, first removing little earth from around the stems, putting on the lime and then replacing the earth.
 Taschenberg gives as remedy coal dust scattered around the roots of 8 majority of the plants, leaving here and there plant untouched The flies in laying their eggs avoid the spots where the coal dust lies and seek out the un- protected plants, which thus act as traps, since they can at the proper time be pulled up and the maggots and pupa at the roots destroyed. It is believed that slacked lime or ashes can be substituted for the coal dust,
 It is certain from the statements of European observers that this species winters largely in the pup@ state, there fore late fall ploughing will prove partial preventive. Since it seems highly probable that many of the larv@ also hibernate, the pulling up of the stalks and roots after the cabbages have been cut is recommended by the government entomologist.
 Prof. A. T. Cook reported success with bisulphide of carbon. His plan consisted in making small hole in the earth near the main root of the plant with stick, pouring in this about half teaspoonful of the liquid and quickly refill;ag the hole with earth. As this substance is extremely infamable, it is suggested that kerosene emulsion be tried in its place. Neac York World.
