At THE LADY cHlROPODIsT's.

Men Are the Most Regular Customcrs.

4 Reporter Discovers the Reason Why
Men Are the Most Regular Customers.
A handsome blonde, apparently %
years old, with a finely rounded fig
ure, held on her knees the nude foot
Of a gentleman twice her age.
She was chiropodist and he Gus
toner who called regularly once
month. Nimbly handling her cuticle
knife, steel file and emery pasteboard
she trimmed calous corn from his
big toe. Strengthened his little toe nail,
filed all the toe nails into uniform
shape, applied polish and then col
lected a dollar from the patron with
the ease and grace of q cherub. Ho
went Oft smiling.
To News reporter she said:
Il can't say that the gentlemen out
do the ladies in looking after their
hands and feet Our revenue from
thSg ltlemen is probably larger than
tn from the ladies, for we solicit
Id patronage by visiting their
homes. and the gentlemen all must
come TO u.s.
Ladies are more particular than
gentlemen about how their nails are
trimmed, but the latter are more reg.
ular in their visits for treatment. Gen.
tlemen who take unusual interest in
their finger nails come once a week.
| find that the ages of the gentlemen
who come here for nail.treatment vary
from 30 to 65. Younger gentleman
seldom give the condition of their
hands or feet q thought Females
look after their nails from childhood
up.
1--WE trim nails into the round
pointed style leaves the finger nails
as sharp as pin. Gentlemen gener-
ally prefer the round style. We can
do nothing to change the shape Of q
hand.
Eyes, think chiropodistry is on the
increase. Young girls generally wear
common sense shoes, and, conse-
quently, have no trouble with their
feet; but when they enter woman
hood they encase their feet in tight
shoes, which beget corns, ingrowing
nails, etc. Take q seat and I'll eX-
hibit my skill on one Of your hands.
then you can compare it with the
other and witness the contrast"
The News reporter complied, and
the blonde submerged his fingers in a
bowl containing warm water and cas-
tile soap. After moistening the skin,
she took her cuticle knife and cut OF
the skin covering the base Of the nail.
With file and emery pasteboard she
rounded the nails, and then applied q
bleaching acid, which gave the nails
q bright appearance. A cosmetic was
the next application, after which q
powder was busted on the nails, and
by rubbing them with the palms of
her hands a beautiful gloss appeared
on them.
'"There nowl" she exclaimed as she
rinsed the hand in warm water and
dried it with towel, haven't I effected

ing of your finger nails into parallel

The reporter left with the secret of
the regularity of the gentlemens Wis
its in his possession. 1t is the charm
of having a bright and pretty girl to
talk to him and manipulate his hands
and feet.-New York News.

Overhauling History.

The old story books made us believe
that on April 20, 1775, Israel Putnam
was blowing in his field, when a mes
senger arrived in hot haste with news
of the battle of Lexington, and that
the hero farmer unyoked his oxen and
left them to their fate, mounted a horse
and was off to the north without SO
much as saying 'good-by'' to those of
his house.
And were we not brought up in the
belief that this line
They left the plowsbare in the mold
was inspired especially by his caseG
And have not we, all of us, ever
since our childhood been familiar with
pictures representing him blowing.
clad in frock as long as nightgown,
which no farmer could wear at any
kind of work without imminent ana
unacceptable peril of being tripped up
at every step he took-to say nothing
of turning furrow, when he would
be indeed fortunate if he did not find
himself under the plowshare9
And to know that after many
years that there was no pillow i'm tho
case-to find out that that, too, is q
myth
1t was, indeed, the day after the
fight at Lexington, in the morning,
and Israel Putnam was at work on his
farm in Pomfret, Conn. But he was
building a stone wall, with his hired
men; and he had on leather frock
and apron-the frock must have been
a short one; fancy one of that ma
terial coming to his heelsl He took
off the apron, but did not wait to
change the check shirt he had worn
in the field, and was off without de-
lay. He rode the same horse 100 miles
in eighteen hours and reached Cam
bridge at sunrise the next morning.

THE SILVER COMPROMISE,
J ULY 8

The agreement in the Confer
ence onmittee to purchase four
p Id half million ounces of silver
bullion per month may do all that
we hope it will do in Nevada for
the interest Of the bullion pro-
Queer, but it may for a time be re-
garded as an experiment.
In 1886 silver bullion fell from
107 to 100, and England, which
always keeps keen eye on the
money market, began to purchase
as silver fell and used it to supply
Asia.
In 1889, when silver was 90 10.
1t purchased sixty-eight millions
out of a total product of one hun
dred and twenty millions, and
eighteen millions came from Amer
lea. Most of this was Mexican
product.
Now, if bullion advances Eng
land will cease her purchases and
silver is liable to fall again.
This is of course only surmise.
Ii it does result in falling mark
ct for silver it will show that the
purchase of a stated amount Of
bullion to be stored in the Treas
ury and represented by silver GER
tificates is not as good as abso-
lutte free coinage. Let US hope
for the best, however.
No monetary experiments can
be verified until actually tested.

Country Developments

An APPEAL representative took
a drive into the country recently
and was surprised to notice the
developments in orchard property
and in shade trees. The entire
valley presents a better appear
ance than ever before and willows
and cottonwood trees are spring
ing up in great numbers along the
streams.
Each ravine adds a small amount
OF water to their support and
the change in the foliage are no.
ticeable at glance. The barren
hills surrounding the valley, that
Were once covered with towering
monarchs, which have fallen in
late years under the axe of the
woodman, are once more shooting
their sprouts OF pine and fir
trees.
ALI we need now is few stor-
age reservoirs to reclaim the
water which will run to waste as
soon as the crops ripen.
Wheat, barley and hay now
cover the fields and it is all due
to the good supply of water
brought about by the late heavy
winter.
Nevada ranchers do not seem
to catch on to the modern methods
soon enough in the game and
manv cuss the country that could
be made to yield millions had they
the energy TO assist it.
Many tests have been made as
to the efficiency of the soil in pro-
during cereals and fruits, without
water, but we want to see the re-
suits on some ranch with water.
