Commodore Bateman's "BarreL.

Commodore Bateman, who used to be
in the United States Navy, and is now
skipper OF the Meteor, one of the finest
steam yachts in American waters, has
risen within q few years from q thou
sand to a millionaire. He is q compactly
built nan Of some five feet nine inches
in height, weighs about 1870 pounds and
has q closely-clipped black mustaehe
and Q strong positive face. Commo-
dore Bateman is not much il any more
than forty-three years old. His career
in New York has been . most interest
ing one Through the advice Of Gen.
Garfield and other friends, after he left
the navy, he settled down in Washing.
ton and opened q little banking and
brokerage establishment. As the Com.
modore himself describes it, there was,
for the first six months or so Of his bus.
mess career, "a continuous struggle be.
tween labor and capital" Finally tho
star of capital got in the sscendent and
he began to make money. He con-
cluded that Washington wa too small .
place for him to smass any considerable
quantity OF Mammon, and turned his
attention to the Mecca Of Mammon's pill
grims-Wall street. He has never
ceased to be glad Of it.

TiAs Are u Big Feet.

Small feet are 10Y considered beauti-
ful; but II WAS not always %. ~ Won
can notice II you will study the statues
OF Grecian goddesses, which show q
foot much longer than Is considered de-
sirable in this age.
The great toe in your shoe ahould he
exactly in line with the axis Of the foot.
This must be 30 in order to have q
graceful walk. In walking, the heel Is
raised while the toes are cramped down
ward. When they are encased in
leather and q firm sole there must be
some extra room in order to rive free
dom Of motion. When the shoe is tight
In some places, it presses on muscles,
and consequently they are not able to
perform their proper functions, Az n
result, the great toe Is drawn out ofline
Of the axis Of the foot; some OF the
muscles are strengthened and others are
weakened. As another result, the toe
will be drawn permanently out of this
axis and prove to be the cause Of much
trouble with our feet. The inner side Of
the surface Of tho sole Of . shoe should
be almost . straight line, and the outer
side curved. The shoes now made
curve almost equally on both sides, and
curvature Of the toe is greatly aided by
the structure Of the shoe. A shoe is not
necessarily advantageous because it is
loose, as some portion Of the foot are
able to stand great pressure, and thus
other portions which are weaker.
The shoe should be loose about the ball
OF the foot and about the toes. Differ
emit styles Of shoes may be adapted for
different exercises Of the foot. Shoes
used for dancing may have higher heels
than those used when walking.
A reformation in the making of shoes
will never take place until some anato-
mist learns the trade Of shoemaking and
becomes an artist in that line, SO that he
may have an opportunity OF studying
The practical as we'll as the theoretical
side of the question. Pittsburgh Dis

sCharitable."

Criticism may be uncompromisingly
severe, and again it may be not less Sc.
vere without being direct. Perhaps
me who is criticised would prefer being
knocked down with the sledge-hammer
of open assault, to being pierced by the
stiletto Of the wit:
An English organ-builder was one
day asked what wa thought Of Mr..
Blank rs an organist.
"Sir," he said with mock solemnity,
Ahe is . most respectable man."
"Yes, I have no doubt OF that, but I
want to know how he ranks a. o per-
former on the organs"
"Sir, he is . most exemplary man, and
n who plays as though he were also Q
charitable man."
Nov would you mind telling me what
you mean by saying he performs like .
charitable man?"
@Well, ii I must be explicit, MI.
Blank plays upon the organ rs though
he did not let his left hand know what
his right hand was doing. "-Erchanqe,

Good Reasons,

Two men while travelling on q railway
train, drifted, in conversation, from
politics to literature.
Il suppose" said one Of the men,
"that you like Ella Wheeler Wilcox
poetry"
We'll, I can hardly say. I used to
think that 1 admired her @Poems of
Passion" but I have not read any OF her
writings since she was married.
@Why, her work is really better O
than ever before. Why did her marriage
cause you to stop reading her poems?r
"Oh, we'll, it may be a trifiing peculi-
arity on my part. The fact is, I married
her. My name is Wilcox, you know"
We'll, / am glad to meet you, Mr..
Wilcox. ! can well understand that
which You are pleased to term q trifing
peculiarly. Now, I once admired
Amelie Rives, but l don't read her any
more. l married her, you understand"

The strangest kind Of pets are some
times chosen by ladies. A marmoset,
the very smallest of the monkey tribe, il
the fondling Of one household. He was
brought from South America and can.
not get accustomed to the cold North.
ern winters, 90 sits shivering and chat.
tering until he is taken into the hand.
He Is Q tiny creature indeed, for he can
make q bed Of . lady's hand and have
plenty Of room. Carried about in the
hand of one or another of the family all
day long, he is as much cared for as q
tender infant, and is q curious fancy.
with his ugly little face and lack Of
tricks Of any kind.
The pet spider Of q certain young
lady is much more interesting. 1t has
a home in a box Of dirt, and makes q
deep hole protected by q round cover
fashioned Of earth and q liquid which it
exudes. The cover has q hinge, and ii
n opens the house to peer in the spi-
der comes up and pulls the cover down.
The humming birds belonging to q
pretty girl built their nests In the lace
curtains, and have raised little families
in the parlor. There are plants for them
to fly about in, and every day the florist
sends . basket Of flowers for them to ex-
tract the'honey from. They are like
little rainbows flying about the room,
and they light on the head OF their
dainty mistress with perfect freedom.
She seems 10 have an affinity for the
feathered tribe. Outside her chamber
window Is q box for q dove who always
sleeps there at night and pecks ct the
window when he wants to come in. He
has perfect freedom, but chooses to re-
main in the house many hours in the
cours of . day. This same young lady
comes in to greet her caller with a ca
nary poised lightly on her head and q
fluffy bullfinch hopping along after her.
The latter is very, Jealous Of the canary,
and will peck him and persecute him
whenever he gets . chance. The swans
in the lake in the park will leave others
who are feeding them and sail up to
this girl, gazing into her face ~ il they

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.t
CAPE MAY, n. j., July 6.-This lovely
seaside resort is now doing fa;r business.
The hotels and boarding houses have good
patronage and the town is filled with people.
This season has been very damp one so far,
but the indications are that it will yet be
good one. Cape May has had two good
booms early this year. The visit OF the
Presidents wife and of her husband has
given 1t an advertisement all over the
land. The visit of the Pennsylvania Editorial
Association last week was another boom for
= Cape May. Before these visits it looked very
much like poor season, because of the recent
foods in Pennsylvania. The people of the land
poured out their liberality in the sufferers
favor, and not few of them were those who
are regular visitors to this resort Many who
gave felt it their noble duty, and will now sac
riice their luxury of going to any seaside re-
sort TO compensate them for what they did for
the unfortunate. There are many new faces in
town this season, but the hotel proprletors are
about the same as last year.
The Cape May ball team, composed of
Princeton and Harvard's best players, are here
playing good bail. They have not lost game
yet. At the Athletic Park there will also be
- the annual summer sports meeting this month
or early next.
Pittsburgs representatives are not so plenti.
full here at present, but before two weeks go
by many will have arrived for the season.
Charles S. Duncan and bride, Of Gettysburg,
have been spending a week of their honey
moon here.
s. ]. Howard, prominent man of Pittsburg,
Is a late arrival.
]. W. Hum and wife, of Pittsburg, arrived
here this week for long stay.
William Elsner, from Pittsburg, comes to the
