The barefoot cure is evidently the
coming craze in panaceas. We have
had the rest cure. the athletic cure. the
Delsarte cure, the faith cure, ct al and
now the barefoot cure. Returning
travellers from Germany and Austria are
bringing the idea over with them. and
as it is vastly less harmful than the
cholera bacilli, which they might have
brought, it is well to be lenient with the
lesser folly. The barefoot treatment is
a phase of more than one process of
cure. Under one authority it is carried
on ON sunny beach. and the patients
race through the hot sands bare headed,
bare armed and with legs and feet bare
to the knees.
This is to give the sun and heat. with
their health giving properties. free ac-
cess to the skin. According to another
curist, to coin word, it is part of the
hardening course, and though you begin
walking barefooted over smooth turf,
you advance by running through wet
meadows, and later meadows heavy with
hoar frost, to the climax of being able
to endure tramping in cold water AS
most of the cures effected at present
have outlived their novelty, at least we
may expect to find this brand new bare
foot cure eagerly seized upon.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

the wind doesn't seem TO blow so hard.

The He'll. charmed the snake,

Mrs. ID. NJ. Madden. of Denison, Tex.
is lady of nerve, Her little girl Mary,
aged two years, was seated on the
ground under tree playing with tin
hoop, TO which were attached bells. The
noise of the bells attracted a large black
snake. which crawled to the feet OF the
child and stretched at full length. with
its head resting ON her left foot. The
jingle Of the bells seemed to charm it,
for the snake closed its eyes and was
motionless. Mrs. Madden saw the
snake. She did not scream for assist
ance, rs most women would have done
under the circumstances. She darted to
the child, grabbed the snake by the tail
and hurled it through the air. The pc
culiar music Of the bells had evidently
placed the snake under a spell. as it did
not move until it felt the touch of Mrs.

St. Patrick. rurgatory.

Medieval songs and legends, which
are r1ch in all sorts Of mythical and
fantastical lore, locate the entrance
to St. Patrick's famous ''purgatory''
on the island of Lough Derg, Ireland.
The opening itself was through a
cave, the existence of which was re-
vealed to the saint by Christ, who in
formed the good Patrick that any
one with tho moral courage to 60
down into the cavern would be saved
the pangs of the real ''purgatory'
after death. Patrick built mon
astery at the entrance of his earthly
'purgatoryn and secured the way to
the pit by an iron gate provided with
strong chains and locks of peculiar
and intricate workmanship. Lough
Derg. next TO Jerusalem, was the
most celebrated spot on earth during
the Middle Ages Thousands visited
''purgatory" every year, and the

The flaming posters which do so much
to make London unsightly cannot per-

the rudiments of an aesthetic sense, but
the local authorities ought to do as
much as they can to keep this unsightly
patch on the metropolitan landscape
within bounds. The commissioners are
however, just now considering a protest
against the new fees, supported by an
influential deputation, who declared
that monstrously pictured and most
glaringly inscribed boardings are bless

manded by way of license ought to be
reduced instead of being enhanced. The
fact is, that in these street advertise
ments there is rich field for taxation
which ought not to be left unharvested.

During a discussion Mt "a local cafe at

latter would not enter the lions cage in

sum at stake was twenty pounds The
news of the wager spread through the

the ,..n,v was packed with anxious sight
seers ai iile evening performance. when
the bet was to be lost or won.
Punctually at o'clock the lion tanner
and NJ. Ango entered the cage, in which
there were no lions. and after the cheers
which greeted their appearance had sub

and in polite speech informed the pub

ing accompanied him into the lions
cage. "But what about the lions?
yelled the audience. This is the lions
cage. and nothing was said about the
lions being in it." explained NJ. Lorange.
The public quickly saw the joke and
cheered Nj. Ango to the echo as he with
drew from the cage.
Curious to relate, M. Maitre fatty re-
fused to pay the money and is to be sued
for the amount, as it was understood

The cooking fad that has taken posses
sion of the officers of the English army
shows among other things what want
of originality there is among our future
Wellingtons. First, Colonel Burnett, of
the Irish rifles, with his quartermaster.
took the matter up and aroused public in
terest in the question. Then when his
model cookery hoisted Colonel Burnettin-
to good staff appointment, Major Dunn,
Army Service corps, took up the parable
and won distinction in the art of making
dripping. Sir Evelyn Wood has added
his quota to the new reform, and now
Colonel Hutton has made ragout Of
all previous systems, and his advance
ment has made him very happy.

The Formation Of Mineral Veins.

The processes by which nature
forms accumulations of silver are
very interesting. 1t must be re-
membered that the earth's crust is
full of water, which percolates every
where through the rocks, making So
lntions of elements obtained from
them. These chemical solutions take
up small particles of the precious
metal which they find scattered here
and there. Sometimes the solutions
in question are hot, the water hay
ing got so far down as to be set
a-boiling by the internal heat Of the
globe.
Then they rush upward, picking
up the bits of metal as they go. Nat
urally heat assists the performance
of this operation. Now and then the
streams thus formed, perpetually
flowing hither and thither below
ground, pass through cracks or cavi-
ties in the rocks, where they deposit
their loads of silver. This is kept up
for a great length of time, perhaps
thousands of years, until the fissure
or pocket is filed up. Crannies per
meating the stony mass in every di-
rection may become filed with the
metal, or occasionally chamber
may be stored full of it, MS if a
myriad hands were fetching the
treasure from all sides and hiding
away a future bonanza for some
lucky prospector to discover in an
other age. Minerals.

a Night Alarm.


Galland was the first Frenchman who
translated the arabian Nights" The
first volumes OF his work appeared be-
tween 1704 and 1909, and gained for him
the appointment of professor Of Arabic
at the College dc France. Each story
begins, as everybody knows, with the
words;
"Dear sister, IL you are not asleep, tell
us one of your beautiful stories"
This uniformity of diction gave rise to
little practical joke. The students of
the learned professor assembled late one
night under the windows Of his apart
ments In the Rue Dauphine, and called
out his name with all the strength Of
their lungs. The unfortunate victim
jumped out of bed and ran to the win
dow, which he opened, and after one or
two preliminary questions the students
concluded with:

Ahput eleven years ago famous
hog Of almost superporcine intelli-
gence was attached to the imperial
circus at st. Petersburg, where it
basked In the sunshine of fashionable
favor throughout two gay winter
seasons. This sagacious creature. at
once ready reckoner, fortune teller
and deft executioner of card tricks.
was the property of one Tanti. a
famous Italian clown, who had
brought it up from infancy and
taught it all its accomplishments
One night he and his pig were
hidden to a gathering of young
officers of the Russian Guard sup
ping together after the performance,
and were called upon to repeat the
programme Of the evening of course
on payment of handsome fee. At
the conclusion of the show one of the
officers offered Tanti 1000 rubles for
his pig. The clown declined to sell,
pointing out that the docile and
clever animal constituted his chief
source of income, and that more
over, he was far too fond of it to
part from it. Upon this the officers
proceeded to tempt him by ortbid-
ding one another until they ran the
price up to 5000 rubles.
This sum, the equivalent of over
f700, and the reflection that he could
probably train another pig to replace
the ono thus exorbitantly valued,
finally induced Tanti to accept the
offer, little thinking to what dismal
fate he thereby consigned his pet.
Next day the luckless animal was
slaughtered by order of its purchaser
and sent to the clowns lodging with
the message that mo doubt Signor
Tanti would like to taste porker
which had been SO profitable to him
in life and death alike"
The whole grim story, equally dis
creditable to all concerned in it, got
wind in st. Petersburg and made a
painful impression upon Russian so
ciety. A severe reprimand was ad-
ministered to the officer whose cruel
freak had caused the death of pub
lie favorite, and Tanti's popularity
sensibly declined Oddly enough, a
few months later he was fired at
while cutting capers in the ring by
an eccentric Polish nobleman, whose
bullet just missed the clown, bury
ing itself in the sawdust at his feet,
and causing him such alright that
he fed from the circus like one de-
mented.
When interrogated as to the motive
Of his extraordinary conduct the
Sarmatian magnate--a well known
sportsman and patron of the circus
calmly replied that ''having been
much diverted by the clowns feats,
he felt himself bound to fire salute
in Tanti's honor" Shortly after
