Just ready to fall from the tree Then It
was laid face downward across her knee,
and logged about to "rum-tum-tiddy''
that might have been soothing to its nerves
if they were constructed on a principle diff
ferent from those of all the rest of human
ity. Up to this point it had been quiet,
but at the sound of the "rum-tum-tiddy'
it inserted a vigorous motion of resent
ment. 1t was then transferred to the ma
ternal shoulder and patted on the back
with movements that must have appeared
to the tender infant like vigorous whacks
1t was next tied into sort of true love
knot in the mothers lap, one little foot
and one little arm sticking out here and
there by way of loops. Unappreciative in
FAINT! even then it would not be silent. As
last resource, the mother opened her
dress and forced nourishment upon it that
it did not need, in the presence of large
carload of mingled sexes, most of whom
were looking on in amusement but poorly
concealed.
At last, with overloaded stomach and
flushed face, the poor little baby sank into
an uneasy. slumber, its face and limbs
twitching from time to time in manner
that BODIED i'll for its future. 1t had not
asked for tossings, for pattiugs or for food;
it only needed rest. 1t did not get it even
then, for two blocks further on the mother
sprang up like whirlwind, first to stop
the car and then to get out, which latter
she did with the now screaming baby
tucked under her arm like an umbrella

What the Sleeve Indicates.

The great French authority upon artistic
dress, Charles Blanc, laid great stress upon
the sleeve as indicating the tendency of the
wearer's mind, and saw in the various
fashions that have been in vogue dis
tinct intention. For instance, the long,
open sleeves, he says. were distinctive of
the pages dress, and illustrate the free
dom of arms they needed in waiting upon
the noblesse; while pagoda sleeves origi-
nally came from China, and were intended
to make the hands appear small; and
epaulet sleeves gave width to deficient
breadth of shoulders. Perhaps he is right
but, if so, it only shows that we are not so
sensible as our ancestors, for all that any
one cares for nowadays is change-some-
thing that was not worn last year; or, if it
was, has been modified out of all resem-
blance.-Domestic Monthly.

The Care of the Feet.


Corns and bunions are never cured
They may be soothed and made endurable
for months at time, but, like volcanoes,
no one can predict a perpetual cessation of
their mischievous activity. Every one,
but especially children, should wear prop
erly fitting Shoes no matter how common
their material. They should be neither too
large nor too small and should have low,
fat heels that must be promptly "righted"
as soon as they begin to wear to one side
If the toes of the foot show tendency to
overlap they should be rubbed with the
hands once or twice each day; and if this
care be given when the curying commences,
it will, as rule, prove sufficient to correct
any irregularities of this nature.
If nail is hayward in its growth, trim
it only lightly at the ailing corner, but
fully at the opposite corner. If both cor
ners grow too deeply into the flesh, clip
them carefully and lightly, and then
scrape the center of the nail from the tip
to near the root until it is thin and flexi-
BILE. This process seldom fails to correct
refractory nails-provided, of course, they
are not neglected too long. Neither salts
faction, amusement nor the full measure
of benefit can be derived from active
games, the exercise of the gymnasium,
dancing, tramping, travelling or bicycling
If the feet are in imperfect condition. The
beauties of the grandest and most roman
tic scenery are blurred or obliterated to
the man or woman who beholds them
while suffering untold agonies from tight
or i'll fitting shoes or from distorted feet;
and in the same way the most tempting of
banQuets or the most magnificent music
pals upon the senses of one who is vic
tim of that horrible waking nightmare

Some crystals, it is believed, have had
their growth suspended during millions
of years, after which enormous lapse Of
time the growth has been renewed. Such
a process would be impossible to animals
and plants, although some imaginative
story writers have treated their readers
to wonderful accounts OF suspended ami
nation in man.
In one respect crystals possess great
advantage over living beings like our
selyes-thev are able TO renew their
youth! This is not because they have
discovered counterpart OF the marvel
Gus fountain that Ponce de Leon 50 vain
" searched for. but because the forces
OF capitalization are able TO renew their
action even after the greater part OF a
crystal has been destroyed through age
or accideut.-Youth's Companion.

Family Life in Paris.

Whole families of Paris pack into flats
of two or three rooms, out of which they
always reserve a salon, which once a week
is set out to receive visitors, but invaria-
bly, closed to "isitors on any other day.
Madame est sorte," says the concierge
and no one is allowed to go up to the fifth
Tor even sixth floor, where they nestle
They work necessarily, the mother sewing
and mending, the daughters, perhaps, do
ing embroidery for the shops. At night
they sleep anywhere; perhaps in corner
of dark passage, screened off; the father
or brother on shake down. in the salon;
the mother and another daughter crammed
into tiny cell, too small for one sleeper,
and intolerable for two.
1t is all dreadfully unwholesome, no
doubt, especially as the whole is warmed
by pestilential "Choubersky'' stove,
poisonous, but cheap, and consequently
adopted in such homes, notwithstanding
its dangerous effects. I'VE must manage
to live somehow, and rents are so dear that
we cannot stop TO think of such things"
All are very shabbily dressed, usually the
mother is even frightfullyuntidy, but, they
argue, no one can get into their den, so
what does that matter?"
II Jhelr means allow OF sucn a luxury,
femme de menage' comes for a few hours
a day and cooks their dinner, which is al
ways very frugal and limited in quantity.
If the help" cannot be afforded, the
mother does the cooking herself, turning
everything to account. such as bits of dry
bread soaked in the water which has boiled
vegetables, and thus made into soup, with
pea pods, etc. II they live near the "Halles
Ceutrales" or principle markets, the
mother goes there late in the afternoon
and locks out for articles of food which
could not bear days delay and pounces
upon these, because they are sold at any
price.-Nurray' Magazine.

No Place to Put scarfs.

The woman who does 'fancy work" and
embroiders geological impossil.-ties on
scarfs and chair tides is responsible for
two new nouns-"drape" and throw. -
Personally, think the use of the words as
nouns an insult to our mother tongue and
an ofense that ought to be capital, but !
will admit that no word but throw is
mean enough to describe the article one
sees pinned across the corners of picture
frames. Now, there are places where a
bit of drapery or silk scarf is pleasant TO
behold, but all the canons of good taste
are violated when picture is mutilated in
that fashion. If the picture has merit of
drawing or coloring, bit of colored silk
detracts from the color by its own hue or
from the drawing by its own folds. If a
picture is so poor as to need screening, it
ought to be hung in the cellar anyway. At
any rate, the scarf should never be applied
to picture.-New York Press.

jim AND JOE.

Yes, there was Jim. and sure's you're born
There never was better fellow:
When things went wrong he didn't growl.
Nor curse his luck. nor groan. nor below:
But-racking long the same old way
He'd light his pipe and go to smokin,
Till things came round all right again,
With Jim still laashin and a-jokin-
Then there was Joe; with him, you see,
Nothin was ever eoin soua-ely.
He'd swear the world was near its end
Cause some one hadn't traded fairly;
Good men were just about played out,
The DEVILS reign was drawing nearer;
Somehow-just why he could not tell
The world was CROWN queer and Queerer.
Well, as it happened. Jim was poor,
And. as it happened, Joe was wealthy;
Jim, he was rather small and weak
Joe was giant. strong and healthy;
Yet when il came to sheer content,
And light'nin some one else's trouble
By smilin DER his own. why Jim
Could just beat Joseph more than double.

An Annie Salad.

For the basis she used solid tart apples,
pared and cut into small bits. With this
she mixed an equal quantity of celery,
cut in bits of the same size. After thor
oughly mixing, she dressed them in the
salad bowl with simple mayonnaise
made as follows: Into the yolk of one egg,
previously beaten, a sufficient quantity of
salad oil was slowly dropped to make a
thick cream, which was then thinned to
the proper consistency by vinegar, added
as carefully. Add pepper and salt to taste,
and the mayonnaise was ready to dress the
salad.-New York Sun.

To weigh a little baby down with wraps
and heavy embroideries comes very near to
being criminal. Did you ever see how a
woman carries baby that is dressed in
this way? She does not put her arms COM
fortably about the child outside of its
wraps, and thus relieve it of good part of
the weight of it's royal robes. Oh, no.!
That would muss up the beautiful fxings.
She inserts her arm underneath the gar
ments, and lets these hang down on every
side, leaving their whole weight to draw
on the baby's shoulders.-Boston Tran
script.

Sure WAY of Drawing q Stopper.

One of the small annoyances of life occa-
sionally is the attempt to draw an obstinate
glass stopper. Immersion in hot water
for some minutes is sometimes efficacious,
but far from always. A sure method is to
lock a bureau drawer, tie q cord to handle
or key, holding the other end firmly. and
over this taut cord run rapidly the neck Of
the obstinate bottle. In less than two
minutes the glass will be too hot to touch
and will have expanded all around the re-
fractory stopper, which will fairly fall out.
