FURNITURE FLOOR.

Old-fashioned quality linked
to modern design.
Isn't that the ideal furniture 2
Built of the sort of stuff which
came over in the Mayflower !;
built to furnish heirlooms to pos
terity.
What's the use of buying
household gear that has to be
replaced as soon as you get used
to seeing it round ?
Don't think you'll recognize
the difference between the sort
of furniture you can afford to
buy and the kind the big store
can't afford to sell by the prices.
Modern merchandising, ap-
piled to your furniture needs as
we'll as the others, has brought
good things to you at the fig
ures you used to pay for poor
ones.

NO APPOINTMENT MADE.

Judge Studley Has Not Taken Ac-
ton In the Case-The Matter De-
ferred and why.
There was no appointment of clerk of
the common pleas court made yesterday
by Judge Studley of the common pleas
bench, as was rumored about town. The
report that he had made such an appoint
ment was little previous. Judge Stud,
ley was found last night and enquired of.
He said there was no appointment made.
1t is the practice, he said, for both judges
of the court to make the appointment. II
I should go ahead and appoint clerk on
my part, now the appointment might be
dissented from by whoever the democrats
of the legislature appoint as judge to fill
ths vacancy existing by the expiration Of
the term of Judge Deming, who has held
over for two years, owing to the legisla
ture muddle. The incoming Legislature
may fill the judgeship vacancy in few
days. My term expires in April next, but
am privileged to appoint clerk before
my term expires, as a clerk must be ap
pointed by me whoever may succeed me.

quarters on Friday evening and radiant smile
could be seen on each of their faces as they
related the hair-breadth escapes they had dur
ing the winter. Topics of interest were dis
cusscd in formal manner while waiting for
the Grand Tarrier to put in his appearance,
but as he went toward the Obey valley early in
the evening to interview a native whom he
claimed had walked away with piece of rope
and his goat on the end of it, he failed to return
and the meeting adjourned after the Blizzard
pointed out the character of the work to be
done during the coming session.

Foot Binding In China.

Proof that the Chinese woman is not a
labor burdened slave we find in the custom
Of foot binding This heathenish attempt
to improve on Gods best work of creation
is said by one tradition to have begun with
Pan Fei, concubine Of the Chi dynasty,
sol A. D., and by another to have begun
with Vas Niang, a beautiful concubne of
the last emperor of the southern Tang dy.
nasty, 915 A. D., whose feet We're "cramped
in the semblance of new moon" Ira,
dition also says that it originated with a
beautiful princess who had club feet, and
by resorting to this method completely con.
cealed her deformity
Still another tradition says it was resorted
to by a crusty husband to keep his wife
from going a-gadding," and as it worked
so well it was resorted to by others, until,
becoming a fashion, 1t was adopted by all.
Wherever the custom may have originated,
1t is but little worse than the custom OF
ladies lacing in civilized countries and adds
as little in beauty to the person on whom it
is practiced. The best evidence attributes
it to Yas Niang.-Isaac II. Headland in

not so obnoxious as it might be.
No. breaker, which is considered fire proof,
is receiving much attention from the company
since the burning of the one at Oneida. In
order to prevent similar contagraton here
water-ppes are being laid through the struc-
