Hot Water Foot Warmers

A commission sent by the directors of
the French railways to England and
Germany to report upon the means
adopted in those countries for warming
railway carriages during the winter
finds that France has nothing to learn
from her neighbors in this respect, .ot
water foot warmers similar to those in
use on French railways being employed
almost everywhere. On the Northern
of France railway, however, an import
ant experiment is about to be tried on a
large scale.
All carriages, even ON short distance
trains, are to be warmed, and the warmth
is to be produced by means of boxes of
acetate of soda. The chemical is put in
solid state into the boxes, and these
are then plunged into hot water abe ut
100 degs. The effect is that the soda be-
comes liquid. On being taken out of
the water the boxes are wiped dry and
are put into the carriages. By degree
the soda solidifes, and as long as the
operation lasts-that is, for about five
or six hours-it gradually gives off he
heat it has absorbed in the melting pro-
cess.-London News.

The poor dog, in this State, has not
much show for his life. The Supreme
Court of the State has said that dog is
not the subject of larceny. A thief
may break into your barn and steal
your best dog, Land yet you cannot pun
ish him. The statute says that If q dog
is found in the public highway, or of
the owners premises, any one may
kill him, unless the owner is with him.
In other words, ifyOu want your dogs
to be safe, you had better keep them
pretty close to you, or leave them in
the yard at home. Every man who
keeps dog is liable for any damage
resulting from the acts of his dog
Suppose your neighbours cattle get into
your field, you may use reasonable
means to drive them out, but fyOu
call large and Vicious dog, and direct
him to drive the cattle out, and in do.
ing so, he tears and Injuries them, the
owner of the dog is liable for the dam
ages. So, too, if your dog is at home
and in the yard, and while there bites
neighbor who might by chance cal
on lawful business, the owner of the
dog must pay all damage, hut the
party bitten has no right to kill the
dog. The dog is safe while he stays al
home, no matter how much damage
he does, but when away from home he
il not protected. This is not right, but
ii seems to be the law.

TIGHTS AND STOCKINGS.
The Newest Wrinkles in Fastenings
and Garters-How a Girl shops.

Every one knows that garters have
but did any stop TO trace the anolOgy
between the decadence OF the one
and the popularity of the other? ASKS
the New York Sun. 1t Is the wearing
Of tights, of course, that brings the
garter into desuetude; that is, that re-
duce the number of garters worn by
one half. If you see q swagger girl
with gold ribbon one inch in width
clasped around her waist you may
wager your bank account that she has
its mate clasped around her leg, just
below the knee. What for Oh, Just
for the quaint conceit Of the thing.
1t is amusing to watch the pretty
girls shopping for tights. With the
perverslty of things mundane, the hose
counters are presided over by men,
and it is very embarrassing to have
them think that you are skirt dancer
or ballet favOrite. And so ihe pretty
girl gets the tights on an order from
the country, or for q friend, or her
mother, or grandmother even. Then
she hustles home and puts them on
her own slender extremities, throws
away her garters and harness of elastic
straps, and in half an hour realizes
that she has never really lived before.
The lines of anxiety smooth out of her
fair brow, the shadows of care soften
from her eyes. She knows her stock
ings won't come down, and battle,
murder, and sudden death lose their
terrors for her.
One of the most remarkable things
about a woman is the way she man
ages from little girlhood up to keep
one corner of her mind clear and de-
voted to her stockings in the midst Of
the most distressing grief and anxiety.
AS u child, no matter how much she
wants to beat her brother in the race,
she has to stop if her stocking comes
down. AS woman, she may be in
