Heels, it is said, owe their oriein to
Persia, where they were introduced upon
sandals in the shape Of blocks Of wood
liked underneath, such being the root
idea OF those deformities to which lovely
woman owes SO many of her woes. A
high, unsteady heel, it is an open secret,
Injuries the leg tendons and affects the
spine as well as internal organs, which
are liable to be displaced by the thrown
forward position entailed. In Persia,
the first home Of the heel, however, these
blocks of wood are used simply to s'raise
the feet from the burning sands Of that
country, and were about two inches
high" With the Persian women these
blocks were vastly higher than those
affected by the men, their height being
from eighteen inches to two feet, thus
becoming more Of the nature of stilts
than anything else.
Strangely enough, many years after, q
similar fashion came into vogue i'm Ven-
ice; but the motif in this case was conf
cally different, for ''by its means Jealous
husbands thought they would be able to
keep their wives at home" The sup
ports OF such shoes in Venice were called
''chapineys," and to appease the vanity
OF the ladies, and doubtless also to sugar
the pin, were made highly ornate. The
height OF these chapineys determined the
rank OF the wearer, an extra coating for
the pin, ''the noblest danes being per-
mitted TO wear them one-half yard or
more high.

The ''two greatest scourges OF man.
kind" according TO DR. Lander Rruuknn,
are generally supposed to be phthisis
and rheumatism, but we are told by this
eminent authority that If any physician
were asked which In the worse Of tho two
he would probably decide for rheuma-
tism. IL not only leads TO as many
deaths as phthisis, directly or indirectay,
but causes q vast amount Of loss Of time
and power and immense pain. The
rheumatic tendency shows itself In n
great many other disorders, such as IN
digestion and headaches. Il produces
not merely pains in the joints, bat in
fiammation of the Serious us-membranev and
leads to the formation of "cioss" or
hbrous masses in the heart, which, be-
coming detached, are liable to be carried
to the brain and cause paralysis. DIR.
Brunton stated that the old fear of caus-
ing serious damage to patients whose
hearts are weak by abruptly checking the
pain Is now much diminished. This il
owing to the discovery that the well
known remedy, salicylic acid, may be
freely employed without risk, provided
tits absolutely pure.-London News.

pillow with pltchforks and Shake the
peanuts from the ground, and make a
heap-row by throwing several rows to-
gether. One hari or more, according
to the amount of work being done, will
be put to setting the poles in place
preparatory to shocking, which work
is usually done by driving peg in the
ground with AK or maui, removing peg
and placing the pole in its place. Some
litter or trash Of most any kind is then
placed around the pole, or two small
strips nailed to the pole few inches
from the ground to protect the peanuts
from the dampness of the earth. Hav-
ing accomplished this much, all is then
ready to begin shocking.
About the first of October, all of the
above operations may be seen going on
in hundreds of fields in this commu-
nifty. This section is known to grow
the prettiest and most excellent pea
nuts in the whole country. Should we
let our peanuts lie and take the sun
and dews and showers, we would pro-
duce an inferior peanut. The shocks
should be pressed down well with the
hand while being put up, but should
not be more than two and a half feet
through. Some grass might be placed
on the top of the shocks as protection
from the dews and rain. In two or
three weeks the peanuts are usually
dry enough to pick off and bag or bulk,

Peach Fellows.

When the yellows are prevalent the
peach-growers must not only look to
the protection of the trees from cold,
but see to it that preventive measures
are adopted to keep the yellows away.
The yellows are due partly to atmos-
pheric conditions, but more largely to
soil constituents and hygienic treat
ment of the trees. There is a
hygiene for fruit trees as we'll as for
people, and this must be studied
closely to obtain the best re-
suits. Good, healthy trees on soil with
the proper constituents will generally
get along without being attacked by
the yellows. Sometimes, however the
yellows become so prevalent that arti-
fetal methods to stop them are neces-
sary, but so far as possible the cause of
the trouble should be reached. This is
in the soil, cultivation and healthy
growth of the trees. j. ID. Morrow, in

Putting Garments Together.

Several country dressmakers have
complained that the trimming and fit
ting of basque are less than the put
ting together" which may be; but do
not think that even this latter task
equals the mastering of the many little
details that go toward making a we'll
finished gown. For instance, do you
know that the dip skirts must have a
protector in the back, and that they
should be faced with velveteen in place
of skirt braid? 1t requirers three
yards of lace to trim the front and sides
of skirt and three-fourths of yard
to make a full sleeve frill. Fan backs
are only caught halfway down the
skirt, back from the edge of the plaits
and loosely SO that they will not draw.
New skirts have an inlaid panel up the
front, which means to have straight
piece of contrasting goods some eight
inches wide up the front, with each
side laid over this like deep plat,
which is trimmed with lengthwise
row of gimp. Ladies' Home Journal.

Indian Names.

A station not very far from Pitts.
burgh, on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, has the good old English name of
Soho. In announcing it there is no OPP
portunity for the brakeman to disguise
the word, as he is too apt to do with the
names of other places.
AS train near the town not long ago
the word was distinctly shouted, and a
passenger was heard to say to the man

The Pecan.

The pecan forests of Texas furnish
large quantities of rich nuts to the mar
ket of New Orleans, whence they are
shipped to Europe, where they are said
to bring higher price than any other
nut. This Hicoria pecan is native
tree growing from southern India to
gulf of Mexico. Valuable new varie-
ties are being obtained which are prop
agated by grating and sold for fancy
prices. H. pecan is known IN our
botanies as Carya oliv@.formis, but
the genus was first named Hico-
ria, and the right of priori-
ty of the name has recently
been recognized. It's beautiful, SYM
metrical and rapid-growing tree with
luxuriant, light-green foliage much mar
rover than that of any other hickory.
It's nuts are oblong, smooth and thin
shelled, with sweet and delicious kerr
nels. There is fine specimen tree in
the grounds of the capitol at Washing
ton. The trees are planted forty-eight
to the acre, covering the fresh nuts
where they are to grow in the fall as is
the rule in planting all nut trees

For Afternoon Wear.

Few materials are prettier for dressy
afternoon wear than the new printed
crepons; they fall so softly and the
crinkled grounds give such subdued
effect to the flowers with which the
goods are patterned. A silk foundation
skirt greatly improves the appearance
of the dress, but this is by no means es-
sential These crepons do not soil
quickly, nor do they show aggressively
any slight mar upon their surface.
Pretty ribbons to match the color of
the floral pattern and sleeves of benga-
line silk to correspond are also becom-
ing adjuncts, but are entirely optional.

To Dress the Hair.

One of the smartest styles of hair
dressing for young ladies at the present
time is to wear full raised fringe in
front, to wave the rest of the hair so
that the waving shows at the nape of
the neck and at the sides, and large
Grecian coil on the crown of the head.
This is often replaced by cluster of
marteaux, but the hair should not be
dressed high on top of the head, nor
curled in the nape of the neck. The
style of hairdressing in the evening
differs very little from that of the day
time. If the Grecian knot is not worn,
more soft curls and marteaux are intro
duced into the couture, but the great
object is to preserve the proper form of
the head. Detroit Free Press.

The articles of mine on peanut cul-
ture, occurring some time since in your
paper, have brought me numerous let
tiers from different sections of the coun-
try making inquiries with reference to
saving or curing the crop, and with
your permission | would like to make
answer TO those various queries through
the columns of your paper. Many ask
this question: do you farmers in the
peanut section of Virginia shock your
peanuts while green and as soon as
dug?" We do, and prefer it. When the
time comes for digging we have our
poles in place, which are cut six or
seven feet in length, about three inches
in diameter, and sharpened at the
larger end to put in the ground, around
which we shock them.
We plow up our peanuts by means Of

Inquiries are often heard in public places
about the large breweries OF this country,
and In view OF the interest people take in
the history OF all successful en- erprlses, u
few facts short and to the point, about one
OF the largest and best known of the West
ern Breweries, viz, the T. Schoenholen
Brewing Co, of Chicago, kindly supplied by
that concern, may not be out Of order,
Business was commenced in 1858 by the
founder, Z. Schoenhofen, on small lot Of
$500 square feet, for which he paid about
800 The ground now taken up by the
brewery, amounts to lOl ,575 square feet and
Is valued at over $500, 200. Add TO this a
large piece OF property acquired q few
months ago at a cost OF $4,000, for the
building OF an enlarged bottling department
made necessary by the fact that although
working day and night in their present
location they are unable TO fill the demand
Tor their bottled goods, and there is enough
ground for good sized farm, all TO be de-
voted to the production Of Gambrnus foam
ing beverage.
The brewery prope: Is known to be the
besttitted up in the United States, andis we'll
worth visit, il only to view the two enor-
nous copper kettles in which the brewing
is done. Each kettle has capacity Of 800
barrels, so that by brewing twice day
every day in the year, a total annual output
OF over 130, 900 barrels can be obtained,
The elevator and malt house have stor-
age capacity of over 100000 bushels and a
mailing capacity of over 1900 bushels a day.
As for their various brands of beer, it is
not necessary 10 say much about them.
Most people have heard of them, and the
popularity OF this class of merchandise is
generally very good criterion OF quality.
Their special high grade brew EDELwEIss is
perhaps one Of the best known beers on the
continent, The brand they sell most Of
however is the SELECT, this being a high
quality draught beer and much feared
competitor of the products of Milwaukee
and ST. Louis, Schoenhofen's Chicago

their bitterest rivals
