Coverings for tho Feet.

The foot should be kept warm and colnfortable-this in all cases is the first requisite. Stockings which do not and those selected which have tho proper qualities. If a worsted or a woolen stocking is more comfortable and satisfactory let it be worn; but to many people firm. well made cotton article is by far the most satisfactory. This is especially the case with people employed indoors, whose feet would be very uncomfortable if clad in wool. = Good Housekeeping.

PLAYING TRIP" IN THE CATSkiLlS.

Actor Jefferson Tells of D Delighted Audi
 ence That Saw Him Play.
 There is in the village of Catskill a Rip Van Wrinkle club This society did me the honor to invite me to act the character in their town. I ac- cepted, and when 1 arrived was met by the worthy president and other mem bers of the club, among whom was young Nicholas Vedder, who claimed to be ineal descendant of the origi- nal "Old Nick.' Elnulating the spirit of evolution the citizens had turned the skating rink into theatre, and a very respectable looking establishment it made, though in it's transition state the marks of rollers did 'cling to it still"
 I was taking cup of tea at the ta- ble in the hotel when was attracted to the colored waiter, who was giving Fsa graphic and detailed account of tlail legend of the Catskill mountains to one of the boarders who sat nearly opposite to me.
 ''Yes, sah, :" he continued, Rip went up into de mountains, slep' for twenty years, and when he come back hyar in dis berry town his own folks didn't know him."
 Why" said his listener, you don't believe the story's true2"
 'True2 Ob course it is. Why, 7 pointing at me. ''dat's de man."
 The town was filled with farmers and their wives who had come from fa1 and near to see the opening of the new theatre, and also, think may say, te see for the first time the story which Washington Irving had laid almost al their very doors.
 As drove to the theatre the rai1 came down in torrents, the thunder rolled and the lightning played around the peaks of the distant mountains, un der the very shadow of which was te act the play. It gave me very strange sensation. When got to the theatre could scarcely get in, the crowd was SC great about the door-countrymen try ing to get into the ticket office instead of the proper entrance, and anxioul and incredulous old ladies endeavorinf to squeeze past the doorkeeper, but re fusing to give up their tickets. Th' rush over, the play began.
 The audience was intent on the seen, in progress, and seemed anxious not tt lose word. During the scene in tn, last act, where Rip inquiries of the inn keeper, "Is this the village of Fallin, Water2" l altered the text and substi tuted the correct name, ''Is this tn village of Catskill2" The crowded hous almost held it's breath. The name o the village seemed to bring the seen home to every man, woman and chilt that was looking at it. From this tim on the interest was at it's full tension Surely had never seen an audience s ! struck with the play before. There was reception held at tn l club after the play, and the worth l president in introducing me to the con pany was so nervous that he announce
 me as ''Mr Washington Irving."- | Joseph Jefferson in Century.

to retake any that might be seized in

could hardly see how the United States
