COPPER BRADS IN SHOES.

How a Man Restored himself to Healthy
Condition.
"Do you see the large cope, brads in
the sole of my shoe?" asked a gentleman
as he held up to view the sole Of one of
his shoes. On being answered in the
affirmative he said: ITO these simple
brads alone attribute my s4 - -;
health. For years l was an invalid,
subject to dyspepsia. neuralgia. head
ache and other innumerable pains, and
travelled the country over in search of
health. In travelling out West amosg
the Indian tribes | was struck with
their remarkable health, and especially
their exemption from the maladies that
afflicted me and also with the fact chat
the strongest and healthiest went bare
footed altogether. 1 sought an expla-
nation of the matter and bycontinued
observation and study was finally led to
the conclusion that these aches and pains
to which civilized man is heir is owing
to the manner in which we insolate
is every day more clearly demonstrating
that electricity is the vitalizing con-
stituent of our bodies and that this
globe of ours is mighty battery, con-
tinually generating and discharging
electricity. Now, l reasoned, if this
was correct the secret of the Indians
health was in his bare feet, which ex-
posed his whole body to the vitalizing
influence of the electrical earth cur
rents; while my i'll health was attributed
to my feet being isolated from these
currents. Acting on the hypothesis
sought to restore the broken connection
by inserting these brads in the soles of
my shoes, and the result, | must say,
was astonishing. My feet, which
formerly were nearly always cold, soon
became warm and moist; my health
commenced shortly to improve, and in
few months | was entirely relieved Of
all my pains, and have ever since en-
joyed good health. 1t is very simple
thing and easily tested, and feel sum

LIVE IN SLUMS.
Dear Girls Dressed In Secondhand Gallo
and Battered Hats.

and Battered Hats.
A detachment of the Salvation Army
took possession of the Young Mems
Christian Association Hall the other
night. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth
was in command in full regimentals.
Various officers, epauletted, silver
braided and girdled, and with broad
stripes down their trousers, patrollcd
the aisles and assisted the audience to
find seats. A score of other officers
were on the platform, all apparently in
dress-parade uniform except six young
women who looked from distance like
choice specimens of east side candidates
for an interview with Judge Duffy.
They were really nothing of the sort,
but they were clothed in secondhand
calico gowns and ugly straw hats, that
so disguised them that even Mrs. Booth
challenged the audience to recognize
them. One was staff Captain Bown, and
the others were her lieutenants. They
have been engaged for several months
past in a campaign against Satan in the
''slums," and the meeting was held in
order that the audience might learn
about their work.
At the beginning there was typical
army service. Prayers were uttered in
rapid succession, and hymns were sung
with accompaniment on the piano and
cornet obligato. The singing of the
army has improved with its uniform,
and instead of the plain unison on the
tune of six years ago, there was a di-
vision into parts, by which reasona-
bly, good musical effect was attained.
The executive ability of Mrs. Booth
was clearly manifested in the devotional
exercises. the most fervent supplica-
ton was concluded duly when she gave
the sign, and no impassioned singer
hesitated to sit down and finish her
solo seated the moment the commander
arose. The several addresses were set
off by hymns between whites, and Mrs.
Booth, of course, introduced tho
speakers. To begin with, she told in
general way now "these dear girls" had
volunteered to go into the slums and
live there like the regular inhabitants.
1t is work similar to that carried on by
the British army in the Whitechapel
district, and Staff Captain Bown, who
conducts the campaign here, learned
her duties in London eight years ago.
The officers in this branch Of the service
have no salary. Their food and the rent
of one room are paid for at headquarters;
their clothing consists of cast-of gar
ments contributed by the soldiery and
others. They do not work in the regu-
lar uniform, because that would make
them appear too fine for their chosen
neighbors. Not only do they include
religious instruction proper in their
work, but they help their neighbors in
household work, washing dishes, scrub
bing floors, caring for babies and the
| like.
Those of the slum detachment who
spoke declared that they had never been
SO happy as since they went into this
service. All spoke simply and earnestly,
and a large audience listened with the
closest attention, and joined heartily
in such hymns as they knew. IN. Y. Sun.

NEGROES IN THE SOUTH, The Principal Of the Tuskegee, Ala, T, school Tells or she Work Among she Southern Plantations.

The Principal of the Tuskegee. Ala.
 school Tells or she Work Among she
 Southern Plantations.
 A large audience listened to discussion of negro education in the South at United church last evening by Booker T. Washing ton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute of Tuskegee, Ala. He was accompanied by quartette of Tuskegee students under the leadership of R.~H. Ham, ilton. They rendered several entertaining plantation songs during the evening.
 Mir. Washington is descendant of the old Washington family of Virginia. His address was mainly review of the foundation of the school, its growth and the main objects of its existence. He said it was one of the greatest influences that are now civilizing the negroes of the south. The young colored men are given liberal education at the institute, and are then sent among the thousands of souths ern plantations upon which there are thous- ands of negroes who are almost as unciv. ilixed and as barberous as the natives of Africa themselves. These missionaries are doing notably great work in the pros Rress of the south.
 The school from the first has been in charge of negro teachers. It now has about 100 students, $100,000 worth of land and buildings, 27 teachers, Of whom IA are erad- uates of Hampton, and it's annual expenses are 487 ,0O0. It is in the Hampton plan, and combines labor with study. In this way the students are enabled to pay part of the tuition for themselves. It is out of debt and Is we'll organized, and has the highest respect of all classes of the south. as we'll as of the entire educational community. It, however, needs money to provide teachers and better facilities for instruction, and this was one of the objects of last nights meeting.
