Some folks treat their feet rs they
might their shoes; take no care of them,
and even abuse them, as though when
they had become shapeless and almost
useless they could be thrown aside and n
new pair obtained. Mistake. One pair
is all any man will have in this world.
The circumstances under which they
servo us are, at best, very trying and not
altogether calculated to keep them shape
ly and comfortable. Abuse them and
they will retaliate ten-fold Pinch them
and they will make every nerve in ones
body twinge in sympathy with their tor
ment. Wear high -hee!ed boots, thus
pitching the weight upon the toes, and
the spine will curve, the gait will become
constrained and mincing and the erect
form, the forcoful stride, tho manly car
riage of free and well balanced figure
will have been lost forever.
Begin early to care for the feet
Wear wholesome, soft aud well-made
hosiery, and shoes which conform TO the
shape of your own feet, whether they re-
semble other peoples shoes or not Have
plenty of changes of foot clothing. keep
the extremities dry and warm, and YOU
will have done much to conserve the
health and comfort of the whole body.

Unrentable Buildings.

Every real estate agent in New York
has had more or less experience with what
are known as unrentable buildings.
They are apparently just rs desirable as
other buildings, but are occupied only for
short periods. The owners are usually
more than liberal to ten tnts, but the
latter do not remain. Such buildings soon
have unenviable regulations and not I'M
frequently are associated with i'll luck.
Sometimes they arc believed to be
haunted. A building at the upper end
of Second avenue is an example. II
apparently has many advantages over
adjoining buildings 1t is on the corner
of a very wide cross street, and is cheer
full and bright within. 1t is soIidly built
of brick, is always kept we'll painted and
in good condition For six months it h1s
boon vacant, and prior to that tenants
moved out almost ns fast as thcy moved
in. The rent is low, but tho other build
ings that look old and battered beside it
arc occupied all tho timo. New York
