The statement that Mary Anderson,
is coon to marry, is csntradicted, and
friends say she Is more likely to enter
a convent, than she is to marry. AS
an argument in this direction, it is re-
ported that she gently scrubbed the
floor in one of the hos, ,itals ia Lon
don as an act of humility. Mary's
marriage may never IKE pace, it is
hardly likely that it will, and surrey
she will be much happier without that
nondescript individual, who usually
figures as the husband of an actress,
but she might have given a better ex-
ample of humility than by scrubbing
q floor; she might haye come 10 st.
Louis and given the newspapers q
chance to roast her again.
The Prowler attended a ball re.
Gently which reflected credit on all
concerned with one exception, the
management should have been more
careful regarding the individuals to
whom they sold tickets, The Prowl.
er's attention Was called to a person
present who had brought with him
lady :? friend with whom his name has
for some time been connected and Who
has thus earned for himself social
oslracism. Possibly it is true that
there were other people present whose
conduct would Is lily bear inspection
a. the parties alluded to, but in this
care there in an open and shameless
defiance of public opinion which de-
serves rebuke and which on the night
of the ball in question ought to have
received attention from the balls
management. It is something to
know, however, that the shameless
fellow who thus attempted to force
recognition for himself and "friend"
did not succeed in doing 90, but on
the contrary received the cold shoul-
der from yearly all present.
"Do you see those large copper
brads in the sole of nay shoes Z" asked
q gentleman to The Man About Town
of the s.. Louis Republic, as be held
up to view the sole of his shoes. On
being assured in the affirmative, be
said !: ITO those simple brads alone
/ attribute my present good health.
For years wss an invalid, subject to
dyspepsia, neuralgia, headache and
other innumerable pains, and travelled
the county over in search Of health.
In travelling out west, among She In
dian tribes, l was struck with their
remarkable health, and especially
their exemption from the maladies
that afflict me; and also with the fact
that the strongest and healthiest went
barefooted altogether. 1 sought an
explanation of the matter, and by
continued observation and study was
finally led to the conclusion that the
aches and pains to which civilized
man is heir are owing to the manner
In which We insulate our bodies from
mother earth. Science is every day
more clearly demonstrating that
electricity is the WALKING constituent
of our bodies, and that this globe of
OARS is a mighty battery, contin-
ually generating and discharging
electricity. Now, I reasoned, if this
was correct, the secret of the Indians
health was in bis bare feet, which
expoaed bis whole body to the vitaliz-
ing influence of The electrical earth
currents while my ill health was az
tributabIe 10 my ieet being insulated
from these currents. Acting on this
hypothesis. / sought to restore the
broken connection by inserting there
brads in the soles of my shoes, and
the result, Unjust say, was astonishing.
My feet, which formerly were nearly
always cold, soon became warm and
moist my health commenced shortly
to improve, and in Q few months l
was entirely relieved of all my pains
and have ever since enjoyed good
health. It Is . very simple thing and
easily tested, and | feel sure would

about it he will get band for the
inside of his hat and cover over the
brass on his cheek with copper plate.
The efficacy of "brass" has long been
known and recognized, but if copper
is to take its place, the Prowler be-
lieves in doing the thing up in style.
