shoes mentioned arc usually bowed or hollowed out at the inner side of the shank, while the straight foot is in most cases quite full at the hollow under the instcp.
 As the shoe is so constructed that it cannot conform to the shape of the foot, it is, consequently, pushed over until the upper overrides the sole sufficiently to make room. I have seen examples where the foot had been forced against the side of the shoe until the little toe projected beyond the edge of the sole.
 The only redeeming feature of either the common sense or Piccadilly shoe is that ample room is provided for the great toe, but this is more than offset by the pinching of the smaller ones. While the foot is "breaking' the shoe into shape the three smaller toes are being crowded against the shoe upper, and, long before the brcaking-in process is completed, corns have taken deep root on at least two of the toes, and, possibly, on the third. There should be no such thing as breaking-in new shoe.
 The Cosmopolitan publishes the above outlines, as illustrating the differ. ent shapes of the feet of well-known people in various walks of life.

TALK ABOUT FOOTGEAR.
The Two Styles the Most Popular
 at the Present Time.
Difference Between the Common Sense and Piccadllly = The Feet of Num- ber of Ycll-Known Men and
 Women.

The two most popular styles of shoes found in our shoe stores to-day are known as the common sense and Pic cadilly. -.-.
 In them we have notable examples of the extremes that are resorted to sim ply because ''it Is fashionable" The fundamental principles upon which both these styles of shoes were first constructed were good, but the shoe maker seems to have hit upon the same idea as did the old bachelor when he concluded that if one egg in his pot of coffee was good, two would be better, and three would make the coffee de- licious, writes Award J. Moore in the Cosmopolitan.
 Shoemakers now seem to be compet- ing with each other to see who can put the most twist into common sense or Piccadilly shoe, and, as a result, they are suited to the fewest types ot feet.
 Usually, the Piccadilly Is but a bungling attempt at putting a pointed toe on a common sense shoe. A foot to which the common sense shoe is not adapted will, in most cases, find equal discomfort in a Piccadilly. No greater mistake can be made in footwear than that of attempting to wear either o1 these styles of shoes on foot ot straight contour It cannot but result in & shoe that pinches. Both styles ot

THE extent to which nepotism is practiced by the occupant of the white house is thus shown up by the Boston Post: "There never was such dis graceful exhibition of the use of the presidential office for family profit as that which his administration has made. From his own brother, whom he made United States marshal in Tenn essee, at a salary of $4,OOO, to his father in-law's neice's husband, whom he made postoffice clerk at 5000, there was hardly a member of the Harrison, Nc Kee and Scott families whom the repub- lican president did not compel the pub lie to support. The Harrison bread and butter brigade draw about $4O,OO0 a year from the United States treasury, in addition to the salary of the president himself" Thus the thrifty crowd from Indianapolis take nearly $100,O00 year out of the public treasury. No wonder they want to be retained in power.

No M ore Billion Congresses.

In his recent speech at Waverly, Ills.
 Senator Allison was particularly un-
 happy in attempting to explain away the
 iniquity of the billion dollar congress.
 Among other things the senator said:
 'I know of no department of the gov
 ernment where any considerable saving
 can be made. know of no law on our statute book now requiring appropria- tions that is likely to be repealed; and I know of no one in public life in any of
 the great parties of our country that purposes or suggests the repeal of any statute now involving any considerable expenditure of public money. So that those who come after us will not be able, under any probable condition of affairs, to reduce the aggregate of ap- populations.
 Heaven and the Democracy forbid! Ii | is, to say the least, hazardous in d Repub- lican senator to declare, ill the face of the universal repudiation of the billion dollar congress, that the practice of economy shall never be revived in ou1
 national administration. The people | will reject this monstrous proposition even as it has been already rejected and ! refuted by the Democratic majority 1T ! the present house of representatives And the verdict of the people will mean the triumph of the Democratic idea o1 ' honest government economically admin | istered. Mark the prediction!

Autumn Millinery.

Hats of rough Milan braid will be
 worn until quite late, gracefully trimmed with loops of ribbon and au. tumn foliage. Flowers have had their day, and masses of foliage without blos- soms, some ln gorgeous autumn tlnts, adorn poke brims and Alpine crowns. Scarlet and black berries peep through autumnal foliage as realistic as lus- cious mouthful of the natural fruit Quill feathers, beaded and plain, short ostrich-tips, wings and velvet bows trim tourist and broad d-brimmed hats Black straw trimmed with scarlet vel vet Is favorite mode. Leather straps on simple hats, Mephisto feathers, and antenna-like ornaments in feathers, metal and jet, on more dressy head. wear, are very popular In choosing a hat, 8 woman should study profile, complexion and contour of head Moth ing is so bewitching as a wel1-chosen bonnet-a conclusion at which every woman arrives sooner or later. For re- trousse noses, large features and broad faces, peaked hats with wide or f1uted brims are becoming; while Alpine crowns, small turbans, or walking hat shapes suit slender, classic faces Demorest.

Another Tarifr Trust.

When the Mckinley bill was under discussion two years ago the pottery. makers wanted protection at the hands of congress, and their representative said:
 sIt is for you, gentlemen, to say whether this struggling industry shall be destroyed for the benefit of foreign manufacturers"
 And so the Mckinley bill increased the tariff protection on pottery. But now we have 8 new story told us by these same gentlemen. They have formed trust composed of five com panies, and they declare:
 "These five companies manufacture and sell about 10 per cent. of the entire output of the famous sanitary plumbing ware made in this country. Some of them also manufacture fine toilet and table ware."
 In order to induce investors to buy stock in the new trust the proprietors advertise as follpws:
 "The books of the companies have been examined by Messrs. Barrow, Wade, Guthrie 6 Co.,, chartered accountants who find that the average net profits fol the past three years QSS9, 1890 and 1891 have been $s14, ,573. .34, and that for the last of these three years-viz., 1s91-the net profits were $401 ,000. The average earnings will pay per cent. on the pre- ferred stochnnd over Il per cent. on the common stock. Tle earnings for 1891 will pay the dividends on the preferred stock and over 16 per cent on the com mon stock, after providing for the ex pense of management"
 Such profits do not greatly appeal tt public sympathy. They hardly indicate a struggling industry" But if profits in the past have been big, what vii they be under the new tariff protected ! trust?-Omaha World-Herald.

False Reports Run Down.

To break the force of facts gathered by the New York World showing 500 strikes, lockouts authorizations of wages in protected industries, The American Economist, the high tariff organ, pub lished list of twenty-eight protected industries in which wages were said to have been increased under the Mckinley law. The list of twenty-eight alleged increases of wages has been investigated by MT. John De Witt Warner and found to be fallacious.
 Two of the establishments named in The Economist were found not to have any existence. One employed two men, and the wages of one of the two had been increased from twenty-five cents a day to fifty cents day. The other mans wages had been stationary at $1.25. In seventeen of the twenty eight establishments the employees denied that there had been any increase of wages since the Mckinley act was passed. In several there had been re- ductions of wages. When there were increases, the increases were trif1ing and were the result of strikes and had been accompanied by reductions. Such is the finding. The ''McKinley census" does not pan out welcome facts.-Baltimore Sun.

THE STATE TICKET.

The delegates to the democratic state convention performed their duty faith fully and well, in nominating Hon Luzon B. Morris and the gentlemen who with him were kept out of office by republican trickery and misuse of power. It is not even necessary to read the platform to learn the main issue of the campaign: let justice be done. For two years all has been contention and strife. The republicans, in power owing to the rotten borough system of elections, refused to seat the democratic officers, who were shown to have re- ceived majority of votes cast in the in the manner laid down Tn the consti- tuition. The courts were not sure of their right to interfere, and now the great question comes back to the people for settlement. We do not fear the result. The returns of the state election of \ 1890, as canvassed by the official board, examined by the senate and the result declared, gave the democratic candi- dates majorities ranging from twenty six to 1,662. Only one of the officers, Comptroller Staub, was declared
 elected by the house of representatives.
 The others have been kept out of office
 and the provisions of the constitution fiagrantly violated. The will of the
 people has been trampled upon and
 men kept in office for whom no votes
 had been cast.
 The platform IS one upon which the
 democrats of Connecticut may consist
 ently stand. It meets the great issues
 of the day without fear. It takes a
 sound position on the tariff, denounces
 trusts and monopolies, and shows a due depreciation of the rights of labor. It
 vigorously denounces the frauds com-
 mitted by the republican machine, is
 sound on the money question and pro-
 tests against the attempt of the republi-
 cans in congress to have federal cleo
 tions conducted at the point of the bayonet. The unjust system of election in this state is rebuked, as is the manner
 of electing county commissioners. The platform as a whole is a strong one on
 which Judge. Morris and his associates
 may consistently stand.

SEALING JELLY JARS.
Two Different Ways of Doing This We
 Effectively.

Two Different Ways of Doing This Very Effectively.
 Strain jelly into jelly jars which have
 been thoroughly washed in soap and water and have been standing in boil ing water for half hour. When the jelly is cool pour over it small quan- tity of melted paraffine, let it harden; then pour in more, for as the first hardens it may crack or shrink from the sides and leave spaces where fer
 ments may enter. In other words, the jars need to be made air-tight-not that the air does mischief, but because it | contains the organisms which on enter | ing the jelly cause by their growth the | changes known as ''souring." The ob- | ject is to exclude all micro-organisms. This may be done in other ways than | by use of paraffine. Cut piece of white paper just large enough to cover the | jelly; soak it in alcohol for five min
 utes, then fit it into the tumbler and pack over it a wad of sterilized cotton | batting, letting it fill the mouth of the
 jar or tumbler like a stopper. This is
 an effectual means of preserving all
 kinds of fruit, as micro-organisms can
 not go through the batting Care must
 be taken, however, to have it properly | sterilized. This may easily be accom-
 plished by making the wads of the re-
 quired shape and size and putting them
 in tin plate in a hot oven for half an
 hour.
 When putting the cotton into jars be
 careful not to touch the under side of
 the wad or allow it to touch anything
 until 1t Is placed in the jar; each may
 be wound with piece of cloth to make
 it look neat, or piece of paper may be
 tied over it.-Chicago News.

The officer was duly notified to appear and be heard at the meeting, but instead of doing so he went on a vacation with out as much as saying, by your leave. It might teach the officer lesson if his vacation was extended for a month or two.

A NEW method of making hay has been introduced by Judge Davis, ot Columbus, O., who has tried it on his farm near Mineral Point. The reaper and binder introduced into field of timothy grass worked splendidly. The sheaves of grass cured rapidly in shock, the hay was free from the sand and dirt that usually collects from raking the ground, retained much more of it's sweetness, tenderness and aroma than if treated by the old scattering and bleaching process, and Judge Davis says the hay is not only worth two dol, lars per ton more than if harvested in the usual way, but that both expense and labor were saved.

After the Chinese.

The internal revenue bureau of the United States has undertaken the task of registering and photographing all the Chinese residents in this country, and there are grave doubts as to the outcome. Experienced officers of the department fear that the provisions of the latest exclusion law will be found almost impracticable of execution. Every Chinese in the United States, ex- cept the retinue of the diplomatic corps and few recognized merchants, is re- quired to make an application for res idence certificate to the nearest internal revenue collector, describing himself, his age and occupation, and proving his identity by presenting and filing three proof-sheet photographs of his face. His statements of facts are to be sup ported by the afidavits of two credible witnesses, and upon approval of this ap- plication the collector is authorized to issue him certificate of residence. Be fore the 5th of May next he Is liable to deportation back to China There are 107 1000 Chinese in the United States. Over 0,000 of these are in California and 5000 in Oregon, and there the brunt of the enforcement of the exclusion act will fall But there are nearly 5000 in New York, over 1, 100 in Pennsylvanla and nearly 1000 in Massachusetts, be sides TOO in Chicago and nearly 500 in St. Louis, where no slight difficulties are anticipated.

THE virtues of the hip pocket beau fet, not generally conceded by prohi- bitionists and the like, were vindicated for once at least at South Beach, near New York, the other day. A snake charming girl in museum was sudden ly bitten by a Texas "rattler" which she was fondling. In the midst of the screams and excitement the hands of some half dozen resolute men went straight to the pockets aforesaid, and, fortunate ly for the girl, the flasks were not empty. The girls rescuers probably ex- plained why they were so well supplied on the ground that they anticipated some such mishap.

OF MONEY IN ELEC-
TIONS.

The committee on elections of the Mas
sachusetts legislature has favorably re-
ported what seems to be very stringent
measure to prevent the expenditure of
money for corrupt purposes in elections.
The end is sought to be obtained by con-
fining the great bulk of political expen-
diture to political committees, and then
compelling these committees to file with
some public officer to be open to the in
spection of the public an itemized ac-
count of these expenditures, A bill
passed by the legislature of New York
for similar purpose dealt only with
the candidate who was compelled to rem
der an itemized account of his personal
expenditures while political committees
escaped. The result was that the law
amounted to very little. The candidate
contributed his money to the committee,
and so reported, but as the committee
were not compelled to report no pub
hcity was given to the purposes to which
the money was devoted, and hence very
little check placed upon the illegal ex-
penditure of money. The Massachu-
setts act stops up this big hole by COM
pelling all disbursements exception petty
personal expenditures for travelling, sta
tionery, &C., to be made through politi-
cal committees, which committees are
Immediately after election to file for pub
lie inspection a detailed account of all
moneys received, from whom received
and in what amounts, to whom paid and
for what purposes. The candidate him
self is forbidden to expend anything
himself to promote his own election, ex-
cept trivial sums for travelling, station
cry, stamps, &c. He must make his
contribution to political committee,
who are to keep record of it and report
just what they do with it, His contribu-
tion must also be purely voluntary one.
A contribution in response to an assess
ment OF an invitation direct or indirect
is declared illegal and forbidden. The
candidate is also absolutely forbidden
to promise anybody an Office or assistance
in securing an Office either elective or APP
pointive. Willful violation of the provis-
ions of the act is attended with severe
penalties of fine or imprisonment or
both.
The act appears to be well calculated
to accomplish the ends sought; though
experience may discover some holes in it
and some defects. 1t certainly is great
improvement on the New York statute,
which in operation has proved of very
little value.

The Biddeford municipal court seems
to be getting more disagreeable notoriety
Its unwarranted assumption of naturali-
cation powers put great many innocent
people to trouble and expense and now it
looks as if the carelessness or lack of
knowledge of it's judge might cause a
good deal more trouble. 1t is to be
feared that there is a tendency to run
municipal courts in the small places on
rather too free and easy plan; and to
take too little care to ascertain how the
law requires that they should be con-
ducted
