Putting on shoes.

When woman has pair of shoes sent
home she performs altogether different
from a man. She never shoves her toes
into them and yanks and hauls until she is
red in the face and all out of breath, and
then goes stamping and kicking around,
but pulls them on part way carefully,
twitches them off TO take last look and
sees if she has the right one, pulls them on
again, looks at them dreamily, says they
are just right, and then takes another look,
stops suddenly to smooth out a wrinkle,
twists around and surveys them sideways,
then exclaims "Mercy, how loose they
are, looks at them again square in front,
works her foot around so they won't hurt
her quite so much, takes them off, looks at
the heel, the toe, the bottom and the inside,
puts them on again, walks up and down the
room once or twice, remarks to her better
half that she won't have them at any price,
tits down the mirror to see how they look,
turns it in every possible direction, and
nearly dislocates her neck trying to see how
they look from that direction, backs off,
steps up again, takes thirty or forty fare
well looks, says they make her feet look
awful big and will never do in the world,
puts them on and off three or four times
more, asks her husband what he thinks
about it, and then pays no attention to
what he says, goes through it all again, and
finally says she will take them. It is a
very simple matter, indeed.-The Earth,

Newspaper Trials.

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage says:-One Of
the great trials of the newspaper profess
sion is that its members are compelled to
see more Of the sham of the world than
other professions. Through every news
paper Office, day after day, go all the weak
nesses of the world-all the yanities that
want to be pufed, all the revenges that
want to be reapsd, and all the mistakes
that want to be corrected, all the duh
speakers that want to be thought eloquent,
all the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial column
in order to save the tax of the advertising
column; all the men who want to be set
right who were never right; all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories as long
as their hair and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning because bereft of soap
all the bores who come to stay FIVE min
uets, but talk five hours; all the church
fairs, oyster suppers, festivals and Sunday
school celebrations are asked to be adver-
tised free, because the members are sub
scribers. Through the editorial and re-
portorial room all the follies and shams of
the world are seen, day after day, and the
temptation is to believe neither in God,
man nor woman. 1t is no surprise to me
that in this profession there are some skep-
tical men; l only wonder that newspaper
men believe anything.

Nobody knows of the money it takes
To keep the home together
Nobody knows ofthe debt 1t makes.
Nobody knows-but father.

And girls hats with feather;
Nobody else old clothes must choose.
Nobody-only father.
Nobody hears that the coal and wood

Nobody else must make them good,

Nobodys hand in the pocket goes,
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
Dependent-only father.
Nobody thinks whore the money will come
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum;

What Salt Is Good for.

When you give your cellar its spring
cleaning add little coppera5 water and
salt to the whitewash.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the
bottoms of garden walls is said to keep
snails from climbing up and down.
For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia,
drink a little cold water in which has
been dissolved teaspoonful of salt.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out If
the stain is first washed in strong salt
and water and then sponged with lemon
juice.
For stains on the hands nothing is bet
ter than a little salt, with enough lemon
juice to moisten it, rubbed on the spots
and then washed off in clear water.
In a basin Of water, salt of course, falls
to tho bottom; SO never soak salt fish with
the SKIN side dO-In, as the salt Will fall to
the skin and remain there.
The very simple remedy Of common
salt has cured many cases Of fever and
ague. a teaspoonful taken in water, and
a teaspoonful deposited in each stocking,
next to the foot, as the chill is coming on.
This comprises the whole Of the treat
ment.
For weeds in pavements or gravel
walks, make strong brine Of coarse salt
and boiling water; put the brine in a
sprinkling can and water the weeds thor
oughly, being careful not to let any Of the
brine get On the grass, or it Will Kill ii too
If chimney or flue catch on fire, close
all windows and doors first, then hang q
blanket in front of the CRATE to exclude all
air. Water should never be poured down
the chimney, as it spoils the carpets.
Coarse salt thrown down the fue is much
better

Bicyclist Chased BY a Mob.

As a general thing the people of the vii
lagos were disposed to be friendly; but once
in while [ used to pass through place
where the spectacle of lone Ferenghi, max
ing his way through the bazaar or streets
without escort, would excite the rowdy ele-
ment to deeds Of aggression This was the
case far oftener in Persia than among the
Turks. The latter are finer race than the
subjects of the shah, in almost every pas.
ticular.
Sometimes mob of Persian villagers would
capture me bodily, and endeavor to retain me
until they could send for their khan, 70 whose
pleasure and qualification they we.e servilely
DESTROYS of catering. Sometimes that in
dividual would be miles away, and might
not return for hours. II the road was
fairly smooth, my plan under these
annoying conditions would be 70 pre-
tend acquiescence in their proposition of
waiting l would then propose g little exhi-
bition Of my abilities for their own gratiica-
ton while waiting the arrival of the khan.
In their eagerness to see the unsuspecting
ryots would readily fan into the trap, receiv-
ing my happy proposal with shouts of ap-
prevail and much clapping of hands. The
next minute would see me flying down the
road, with a swarm Of bare legged Persians
in full chase after me, yelling for me to
come back
Sometimes irrigating bitches or other OBJ
structions would interfere with my riding
sufficiently fast to escape The racing ryots
would then recapture me, and amid much
boisterous merriment keep strict guard over
me until their object of securing tomasha
for their chief would be accom- plished, when
they would reluctantly allow me TO depart

Something About Canes.

"You see, q cane crank is in a certain
sense as bad and IS much nuisance as
cigarette fiend. It's a mighty interesting
study to watch and size up these cranks.

that he shakes it off,"
What variety of canes command the

a Wall street man who can draw his
check for $500, GOO. Then there's well
known literary man in New York who
also swings one of the same kind, and he
actually has the nerve to tell some of his
friends that it is a rare whitetkorn switch,
the only one Of the kind in the land. In
striking contrast to these is clerk in
Ve.ey street tea house, who sports a gold
headed rosewood cane with two small dia-
monds in the top. Another queer thing is
that heavy msn-fat, ponderous fellows
usually affect light switch canes, while
lean men and youths lug around regular
war club. It's funny, but none the less
fact. Tive men of my acquaintance,
members of the Hoboken Fat Mems aSso-
citation, are never seen on the street with
OFT little rattan switches. These cane
cranks are supsrstitiOus, too; and some of
them If they happen to be without a walk
ing stick ever SO short time, are in con-
slant fear of run of bad luck. New

A Scientific Problem.

The very interesting scientific fact is
given elsewhere on the authority of the
Advancement Of Science" that when
people are sick above the diaphragm they
are optimistic, but when they are sick be-
low the diaphragm then they are pessi
mistic. 1t is very valuable information
and most suggestive discovery. When a
man insists on being cheerful hereafter you
can account for it and pity him; his dis
ease has got the upper hand of his dia-
pkragn, and there are only two things to
to be done-sither turn him over dis
creetly so that his diaphragm will show
above his ailments, or injure him about
the legs until his pessiinistic virtues are
aroused. 1t is one of the curious features
of the case, going to prove the theory that
equity people are pessimists while con-
sumptives are always happy. Science,
for some strange reason, declines to de-
fine the temperament of the man who has
no ailments above or below the dia-
phragm. Perhaps it IS not acquainted
with him.-Hartford Courant.

The Climate of Chilli.

Although the climate of Santiago is
about that of Washington or St. Louis,
the people have notion that fires in their
houses are unhealtbful, and, except in
those built by English or American resi-
dents, there is nothing like a CRATE or a
stove to be found. Everybody wears the
warmest sort of underclothing and heavy
wraps indoors and out. The people spend
six months of the year in a perpetual
shiver and the remainder in perpetual
perspiration. 1t looks rather odd to see
civilized people sitting in a parlor, sur
rounded by every possible luxury wealth
can bring except fire, wrapped in furs and
rugs, with blue noses and chattering
teeth, when coal is cheap and the noun
tains are covered with timber. /! is odd,
too, to see in the streets men wearing fur
caps and their Threats wrapped in heavy
muffiers, while the women who walk be-
side them have nothing on their heads at
all During the morning, while on the
way from mass or while shopping, the
women wear the nasta, as they do IN
Peru; but in the afternoons, on the prom
enade or when riding, they go bare headed.
Although the prevailing diseases are
pneumonia and other throat and lung
complaints, and during the winter
The mortality from these causes is I'M
mense, the Chillano persists in believ-
ing that artificial heat poisons the at
mosphere and when he visits the home OF
a foreigner and finds a fire, he viii ask
that the door be left ajar so that he may
be as chilly as usual. At fashionable
gatherings, dinner parties end that sort
of thing, have seen women in full even
ing dress, with bare arms and shoulders,
with the temperature Of the room between
40 and so dess. Fahrenheit. They often
carry into the salon or dining room their
fur wraps, and wear them at the table,
while at every chair is a foot warmer OF
thick llama wool, into which they push
their dainty slippered toes. These foot
warmers are ornamental as well as useful,
have embroidered cases, and are manufac-
tured at home, or can be purchased from
the nuns, who spend much Of their time
in needlework.-Harper' Magazine.
