was m confusion. rms hindered rno
mother from attending TO her own
duties at the proper time, and through
out the household this lack of prompt
ness and order was felt and much which
otherwise would have been easy to 0c-
complish was made difficult.
To Mrs Brstow. therefore, it seemed
great undertaking TO give a dinner
party. Then too, she attempted an
elaborate affair with scvon or eight
courses, with decorated menus and
much expense. dinner that required
most of her time and thought for sew
eral days, and the time of her servants,
as well as the expense Of hiring extra
help All these preparations so ex-
hausted the hostess that she could not
enjoy her guests with the zest she might
otherwise have had, and the effort made
was unconsciously felt by the guests,
and it hindered perfect ease aud an
affected pleasure.
1 meditated, too, on the constant
friction which engendered discussions,
harsh criticisms, hasty words and fret
ted spirits. All this led the children,
interesting as they We're, TO grow dis
respectful toward their parents which
did not tend TO increase the love and
interest of friends.

have heard that when King Hudson,
in the zenith Of his fame, was asked as
to what his railways were TO do when
all the coal was burned out, he replied,
that by that time we should have learned
how to burn water. Those who are asked
the same question now win often reply
that they Will use electricity, and doubt
less think that they have thus disposed
of the question The flllacy Of such
answers is obvious.
A SO called water gas may no doubt
be used for developing heat, but it is
not the water which supplies the energy
Trains may be run 10y electricity, but
all that the electricity does i5 70 convey

generated to the train which is in mo-

Ii is well known that the connection
between the nerves in the feet, and espe-
cially those in the great toe, and the
brain and general nervous organization
is strong. Dr. EroWn-Sequard mentions
patient who whenever he bore the
weight Of his body on the toes Of his
right foot, became violently insane. lie
also speaks of another case where pres
sure on the toe caused severe nervous
paroxysms.
These cases simply show the impor-
tance Of a proper care Of the feet, por-
tion Of the body that many people neg
lect, They think that they can crowd
their feet into tight shoes and abuse
them without serious results. They
can't do it, however. This crowding of
five toes into a space not large enough
for three, results in pressing the joints
ont Of shape and sometimes making
them inactive and powerless. No man
with his toes half paralyzed gan walk
properly. The control of me toes is
necessary for a spingy step. Broad
soles and low heels give room for all the
toes and allow perfect freedom Of action
TO every muscle. People who have
false standards of beauty for the feet,
however, insist ON wearing shoe that
is not natural in shape, and the result is
great discomfort, and in some cases

little group Of politicians Sat in the city
hall regaling each other with We stories
of ye olden time. Among those reeled
off was the following regarding an ex-
perience of William ii. Seward, who was
then governoRof the Empire State 1t
seems that while travelling around
through the rural districts and making
sure that his political fences had no very
bad breaks in them, he came one even
ing to the humble abode Of a farmer.
1t was too far from the town where
he was stopping TO go back that night,
and SO he asked permission Ostop there.
This was cheerfully granted, and after
partal,ing OF an old fashioned country
supper the old farmer invited his un-
known guest TO take ride across the
country with him, ha having an errand
to do in a neighboring village, With
all the suavity for which Mr.. Seward
was justly famed, he accepted the inyi-
tation, and as they drove along in the
gathering twilight he entertained the
old farmer with all manner Of campaign
experiences and stories.
The old farmers native shrewdness
caused him TO wonder why the stranger
should show him SO much attention, and
at last he blurted out:
"Say, be you a book agent;'
"Not that l know Of" was the gov
eruor's smiling rejoinder.
"Perhaps you're a lightning rod man,
ehY'
"No, slri you are wrong again.
"Ihen you'sa a sewing machine man"
No, sir
"Well, then, by gosh, you must be a
politician.
Mr.. Seward at once acknowledged the
soft impeachment, and then informed
the inquisitiye old fellow that he was
the governor of the state Of New York
This quieted the old fellow for awhile,
but at lasthe could hold in no longer, and
he quietly informed Mr.. Seward that he
thought he was a liar Mr. Seward.
however, insisted on the truth Of his
story, aud the dispute finally resulted in
a wager Of twenty dollars The money
was placed in an old lantern that was
carried in the wagon to be used in case
Of emergency, and it was agreed that
the first person they met was to decide
as to the ownership Of the money.
Should he fail TO recognize Mr. Seward
as governor the former was TO win, and
vice versa.
The test soon came, Driving by the
shop of a wayside blacksmith, the pro-
prietor himself stood in the doorway.
The farmer stopped his wagon aud Nh.
Seward said:
"ly friend, my yeracity has been
questioned 10y the gentleman with me,
and / should be pleased To have him CON
WINGED us 20 who / am. Win You be
kind enough 10 tell him;"
The man of Drawn and muscle peered
at Mr.. Seward long and earnestly. Then
turning 10 the farmer he said, in awe
struck tones;
"He's all right, Bill / know him
He's Ihurlow Weed, 10y goshl
The farmer took the twenty dollars
and Mr. Seward was poorer by that
amount than when he started out.-Chi,
