During the prevalence of the Grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable
fact that those who depended upon DR..
Kings New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
trou olesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of La Grippe, but in all
Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs,
and has cured cases OF Asthma and Hay

The Secret of Warm Feet

A life insurance company, whose adj
vice under the circumstances may be
taken as sincere, tells its clients that
the golden rule in cold weather is to
keep the extremities warm. The first
and most important rule for the carry
ing out OF this idea is never to be tight
ly shod. Boots or shoes that fit closely
prevent the free circulation of the blood
by pressure; but when, on the contrary,
they do not embrace the foot too firmly,
the space left between the shoe and the
stocking has a good supply of warm air.
The second rule is never to sit IN damp
shoes 1t is often supposed that unless
shoes are positively wet it is unneces-
saTy to change them while the feet are
at rest. This is a great fallacy, for
when the least dampness is absorbed
into the sole in its evaporation it alb
bs the heat from the foot and thus
perspiration is dangerously checked.
This can easily be proved by trying the
experiment of neglecting the rule. The
feet will be found cold and damp after
a few minutes, although on taking off
the shoe and examining it, it will APP
pear to be quite dry.-PittSburgh Dis

that 3 man who has made success after

retain his former modesty, amounting
almost to shyness, but Aascagnis inti-
mates declare that this is so with him.
On his recent visit to Wien the police
had to be called to escort him TO and
from the theater, so great were the
crowds which efectually blocked the
way. Mascagni is now at work OF two
operas, despite the fact that III RantEsu"

He was never thrashed in a fight,
though it's been tried more than once
He is six feet and good three inches of
solid flesh, with hand like a ham, yet
as quick on his ponderous legs as many
a little fellow. His sensational exploits
have been too many for a man to num-
Dor On his ten fingers and ten toes.
With his ak he smashed railroad fences
when Austin Corbin's men sought TO
fence in the street, and the millionaire
had to give up beaten by the mayor.
With his fleet horse he raced from
Cedarhurst, seventeen miles across
country, one summer day, to catch lot
of city officials, his political opponents,
at a cock fight. He was a man whose
hand was felt in every department of
the city.
Not bad fellow at all was and is

Simpler Hospitality.

Several women were discussing recently
a question of reform in hospitality, and
all agreed that there was need Of it.
People of wealth and fashion give such
Lucullus feasts, and emulation in that
direction has become so extensive that to
give even so-called simple luncheon or
dinner has become a formidable and ex-
pensive affair. Naturally many people of
moderate means are debarred from enter
tanning, and as naturally from accepting
Inequalities which they cannot return.
One of the menus proposed by member
of them as satisfying and wholesome, but
simple and inexpensive, was clam juice,
hot and strong, as a first course; lamb
chops and peas, or beefstead and mush-
rooms, as second course, with desert
of baked apples and cream and plate of
sweet waters or small cakes. This daint-
lily served and congenially eaten would
afford an agreeable function within reach
of many persons who must now shut
themselves away socially.

RAISES RATS FOR A LIVING.

A Kansas city Man who Furnishes Ro-

Rat culture is something OF which
one-tenth of the world knows little and

Yet right in the center of Kansas City
there fourishes rat farm" Down in
a dingy basement Of u house on Twelfth
street there is a wooden box about
twelve feet square and four feet deep,

with the edges nibbled of and with
holes IN the crust litter tho straw, to-
gether with pan of water and pieces
of cheese certainly old enough to be
ranked prime. There are rats In this
box, plenty of them. The rodents had
nestled all close together when the
outer portal to their domain was noisiiy
unbolted the other night and the
proprietor of the rat farm" cautiously
descended the steep stairway to the Gel
lar, conducting a Times reporter and
several friends. These visitors, too,
were cautious. very, for misStep would
have sent a man headlong into the zinc
lined box to meet in close quarters two
hundred rats of various dispositions,
sizes and color. A light was struck and
in an instant the floor OF straw was I'M

horde of rodents, in their hurry to get
the farthest they could from the light,
crowded over each other and squealed
and squirmed themselves out from
under their covering to bare corner.
Here was pyramid of nearly two hun
dred wfiggling rats that gave one the
cold chills to look upon. There were
rodents of all classes, distinctions and
descriptions. Gray rats, black rats,
dun rats, yellow rats, young rats and
old rats, fat rats and rats with trans
parent hides. The pied piper never
saw a better collection.
