"a country fellow (that had not
walked much in streets that were paved)
came to London, where a dog came
suddenly out of house and furiously
ran up to him. The fellow stopped to
take up stone to cast at the dog, and
finding them all fast rammed or paved
in the ground, quoth he, "What strange

The pun, which is many centuries

Of catches neatly conglomerated,
the following is a good Illustration:
1.-TWO persons who had been for

each other great while, meeting on the
road, one asked the other how he did.
He told HIM he was very well, indeed.
Not so well neither, for l have married

ONE OF THE HARRISONS.
Ar Ancestor of the Candidate who Was
Hanged in 1900.

An Ancestor of the Candidate who Was
Hanged in 1900.
The history of Benjamin Harrison
and his ancestors is full of action and
interest. One of his progenitorS was
the General HARRISON mentioned in
the following entry made by Samuel
Pepys in his dairy under date of Oc-
toOer IS, 1000: II went out to Char
ing Cross to see Major General Har-
rison hanged, drawn and quartered,
which was done there, he looking cheer
tuI as any man could not under that
condition. He was presently cut down
and his head and heart shown to the
people, at which there was great shouts
of Joy. 1t is said that he SAID that he
was sure to come shortly at the right
hand of Christ to judge them that now
had judged him and that his wife do
expect his coming again. Thus it was
my chance to see the King beheaded
at Whitehall, and to see the first blood
shed in revenge for the King at Charing
Cross" General Harrison had been
appointed by Cromwell to convey
Charles |. from Windsor to Whitehall,
for his trial and he signed the warrant
for the beheading of the King. When
the King was in General Har-
riSon's custody he was struck with his
soldierly appearance, and he told him
that he had been informed that he
(Harrison) would assassinate him.
Harrison answered that Parliament
would not strike the King secretly.
The descendants of the patriot of the
Commonwealth came to America soon
after the hanging at ChariDg Cross, but
the family did not come prominently
into view until just before the Revolu-
tionary war.-F10m the Nev N,k
Tribune.

FIXING UP THE FEMALE FOOT.

Since the high heel and pointed toe
have had time to do their work the Chi
ropodist Is rising to a money making
position. The women who operate in
| the public baths for ladies have more
work than they can attend to, md are
, arising their fees according to the state
of the pairs of feet which they are
asked to attend to. The ordinary old
fashioned treatment, requiring only the
sharp knife and the pumice stone, is
still franc and a half But for the
operation known as "dehoofing' the
foot, you may with extras, get from So
to So. There are some French women
who are able when the fine world is in
Paris to make from SIS to S25 day.
The seaside season is even more lucra-
tive because feet are so much in view on
the sands of marine bathing places,
where it is permissible to paddle about
in salt water long after the teens have
been cleared.
Be itremembered that the high-heeled
boot or shoe, by throwing the whole
weight of the body on the tightened, up
toes, deadens them and the rest of the
foot, and brings the whole member, so
far as the distribution of muscular force
and nervous vitality go, into much the
same state as horses hoof. The de-
hoofn process begins with a warn bran
or potatoe-starch foot bath, followed by
quick plunge in cold water, after
which there is shampooing with eau de
Cologne or something else to help
reaction. Then there is a gymnastic
pulling out and moving up and down
and from side to side of individual toes,
which reminds one of the piggy-wiggy
game which nurses play with the pedal
eXtremeties of babies. The nurse, be-
ginning with the great toe and going
on with the four others, says: This
pig went to the market, and this pig
staid at home, and this pig ate bread
and butter, and this pig ate none, and
this little pig cried, take me to mamma
at home" The toes are manipulated
and exercised separately, until each is
llmber and lively.
The sole of the foot is also enlivened
thus: The patient leans with both
hands on a pair of props, and places
the foot on a broad horse hair band
which works from side to side; then
comes more hand rubbing, this time
with small brushes and instruments like
drawing stumps. The nails are care
fully attended to. All dead and hard
skin is carefully removed, and finally
the ankle and instep are put into gym
nastic training. At the end OF, say, an
hour, pair of feet which have been
martyrized with high heels and pointed
toes feel equal to dancing, jumping or
taking long walk. They also look
shapely and quite young. One Won
ders why they should be hidden with
shoes and stockings, and whether
skilled chiropody will not lead to re-
vIval of sandals.

GETTYSBURG RECORD.

The battle of Gettysburg is remark
able not only for its results, but for the
fierce and stubborn nature of the con-
filCt itself. The armies on both sides
were large, though not so large perhaps
as to make the battle pre- eminent on
that account. The figures on this point
are interesting. Those given by the
Comte de Paris may be accepted as
obtained by careful investigation. The
Army of the Potomac, without French's
division, which had remained at Fred
erick, numbered I67,25I men, but
nearly $4,000 were In the hospitals, and
more than 1000 were on detached
service. The number of men present
with their corps was 1888, and that
OF men under arms 99,455' About 5000
men came as reintorcements under
Stannard and Lockwood, making a
total OF effective forces of los 900 men
and $50 pieces of artillery. But 275o
troops were on duty at headquarters
the cavalary, numbering Io,5oo, were
not seriously engaged 5000 to 1000
were serving as additional guards near
supply trains, batteries, ETC., and there
were probably 1000 to 5000 stragglers.
The Comte de Paris therefore estimates
the Union force seriously engaged at
from S2,o 900 to 81, 900 men. Accord
ing to THE official reports, the Union
was 1884 killed, I3,7o9 wounded, in
cluding 10 generals and 6645 prisoners,
or 23,IS6 an all. But these figures do
not tell the whole story. The hospital
records show the burial of 3575 Union
corpses, and it is estimated that 1000
or 100 died of their wounds. 1t is
estimated that Lee brought on the
battlefield for actual service 49, 900 to
10000 men and $50 guns. lhe Con-
federates had 2665 killed, 1860
wounded, including IS Generals, and
6464 missing, or 22,72S in all making
their losses almost exactly the same as
the Union forces, though the latter al my
was the larger by one-fourth. These
losses were enormous, being 27 per.
cent. of the Union army and sc per.
cent. of the Confederate army. They
are proofs of the stubborn bravery of
both the blue and the gray, which the
survivors of to-day can recall with pride
as well as with sorrow.-From tile AeaO

How to Select a Wife.

Good health, good morals, good
sense and good temper, are the four
essentials for a good wife. These are
the indispensables. After them come
the minor advantages of good looks,
accomplishments, family position, etc.
With the first four, married life will be
comfortable and happy. Lacking either
it will be in more or less degree fail
ure. Upon good health depends largely
good temper and good looks, and to
some extent good sense also, as the
mind must be affected more or less by
the weaknesses and whims attendant
on frail health. Young man, if your
wife is falling into state of invilidism,
first of all things try to restore her
health. If she is troubled with debili-
tatlng female weaknesses, buy DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
cure her.
