As to Cold Toes.

Mary people, especially women and chill
dren, suffer the whole winter through with
cold feet. This is mainly due TO the fact that
they wear their shoes too tight. Unless the
toes have perfect freedom the blood cannot
circulate properly, hence follow stifRened and
benumbed toes, cold feet and often a numb
ness up the limbs.
People who wear rubbers the whole winter
through generally suffer with their feet.
Rubbers make them very tender by overhead
ing and causing them TO perspire, They
should only be worn during stormy-or slushy
weather, and even then should be removed as
soon as one enters the house, They draw the
feet, keep them hot and wet with perspiration;
then as soon as one goes again into the air
the feet are chilled.
In the country have noticed that the
farmers put some dry straw or pieces of news
papers in the bottom of their boots | my
self have often tried the latter, and can assure
you that IL is a good preventive against cold
feet This is doubtless because the paper OF
straw absorbs tho perspiration and keeps the
feet dry. Philadelphia Record

Quite n Soldier.

One day Marshal MacMahon, during one
Of his presidential tours, called on a certain
project against whom serious complaints had
been presented at headquarters. The mar
shall spent the night at the prefecture. He
was an early riser and a genuine soldier
waited upon himself and brushed his own
clothes. In the morning he stood as usual
brush in hand, at the open window. The
project, who slept in the opposite wing, and
who harassed with gloomy forebodings, had
also risen early, saw him. opened his window
and likewise began to brush his coat
"Ah, Monsieur le Project, do you get up as
early as thisf'
every day, Monsieur lie President"
"Really, and brush your clothes yourselfP'
81 am quite soldier in that respect"
Both went on brushing.
"Look here" said the marshal, ''just step
across to my room"
The next moment the project was deep in
conversation with the marshal, on whom he
made n very favorable impression, and was
soon afterward promoted to a more lucrative
Office capital fellow, that" the marshal
used to say. "Gets up early and is always at
his post. "-Everybody's

The school is at Eighty-second street and
Eleventh avenue, and the "drive" was West
End avenue. 1t was dinner hour at the
school, and the children dropped their lunches
anG rushed pell nell down stairs to see the
"hOuse er fire."
the damage to the cottage on the ''drive''
was about 800, and all the school boys
were present when the fremen put out the
blaze Then they escorted the red headed
boy back to school and told everybody they

told der teacher"
For the rest of the day Rodney was hero.

TIE board of aldermen in Boston recently
pass ed an order limiting the speed of electric
cars in the suburban districts to twelve miles
an hour, and in the more crowded streets to
seven miles per hour. 1t is argued that IL the
speeds mentioned were the average speeds
including stops, there would be nothing to
complain of. For the suburban districts
tive We miles per hour is altogether too low q
limit and does not permit of rapid transit in
any sense of the word. With an average Of
ten or twelve stops per mile, the average
speed cannot exceed six or eight miles an
hou'-about the speed of an ordinary horse

Hanged While Playing.

Leonard Stevens, 10 years old, of Whipple
Hollow, Vt, lost his life few days ago in a
singular manner. He and companion had
been swinging in the barn ON rope, and to
give variety to their amusement large loop
was tied in the rope to shorten it, SO that they
cou d take hold with their hands and swing
out over hay NOW, and on letting go Of the
rop, drop on the hay. This loop, which was
large enough for the boys body to pass
through easily, passed over the lads head,
and when he let go with his hands it caught
him around the neck and hanged him. His
companion gave the alarm, but when assist
anc9 arrived the boy was dead.--Philadel-

An Ingenious Capture Of the Diva's Famous
Song Of Home, Sweet Home"

Song Of "Home, Sweet Home"
Il remained for a couple Of San Francisco
men TO receive a song from Patti, but with
out the diva's consent Clark Palmer and
Conway Nestor are Edison's agents on this
coast. Mr.. Nestor was with the wizard in
his laboratory in New Jersey for considera-
BILE time. He is thoroughly familiar with the
latest electrical devices, and in conjunction
with Palmer be determined TO have song
from Patti by hook or crook. The latter
method succeeded.
A letter was written, in which Mime. Patti
was requested, in the name Of science, to al
low song, sung by her, to DO recorded by
the phonograph and produced before the
academy of Science at its next meeting.
Patti declined, and then came the problem of
how to obtain that song, despite her refusal.
Palmer and Nestor put their heads together.
A few moments before o'clock Nestor made
his way to the Grand Opera house stage EN-
trance with leather covered case over his
shoulder.
"There were 80 many different kinds OF in
Btruments, 30 many shapes and sizeG, that
they thought belonged to the orchestra, and
let me pass" explained Mr.. Nestor. They
couldn't tell whether 1t was a saxophone OF a
phonograph. After got in climbed around
under the prompters box, where deposited
the photograph and made my preparations.
ran the funnel up into the prompCer's box
and connected the photograph with rubber
tubing. / had little storage battery with
the machine and box of cylinders, and The
phonograph was ready for work in a very
short time.
~ was right under the stage on the gas
pipes, and could see nothing, but whenever
the prompter gave the signal turned the
photograph on, and caught some very good
numbers from the new German opera, Me
hstofele,' with Tamagno and Albani. We
wanted that first more for an experiment, in
order to prepare for Patti the next afternoon.
The famous laughing quartet was the most
successful piecc that we obtained. l came
very near being caught one afternoon, when
the prompter met me and inquired my br,si-
ness told him that had been sent to Ter
fume the house, and he was satisfied.
1--WE got six cylinders from Patti, one OF
which was her famous Home, Sweet Home,
and this was so perfect that the song can be
heard, followed by the applause OF the audi
ence This was our most successful piece, and
as she was near the instrument and sang TO
ward It., she made the impression very clear
Another night we caught Tamagno and AL
bani in 'Otello and after we got through
asked Tamagno if he would like to hear the
opera, and he replied that he would. When
/ Reproduced it for him, he cried: Wonder
full! wonderful My voice, my victory, my
