Are We to Become TOeless?

That the civilized part of US is chang
ing our physical structure in answer to
the conditions under which we live is
fact to which the poor little toes in the
corners of our boots might tearfully tes-
tify if we could consult them in the
spirit. This member, which our
prehistoric lady ancestors doubtless
found asthetically useful, when, while
grasping with the foot an article of food,
they elegantly elevated the little toe from
the others, as the little finger of the
damsel from the teacup of to-day, has
now so fallen from its high estate that in
36 25 per cent. of men and women the
first joint of the little toe has been re-
placed by solid, inhexible bone. 1t is
to be supposed that if we continue for a
few more icons to walk with our junior
toe doubled up like leaf in book we
shall some day look all around our foot
and find no toe at all AS the process
continues and each rushing cycle knocks
off another toe we shall finally have in
place of the present artistically befringed
pediments pair of solid pads, on which
will rest five useless commemorative nails.
like so many tombstones erected to those
departed members which went to join
the dodo rather than accept shoes that
did not fit st. Louis Star Sayings.

MOURNING STATIONERY.

Mourning stationery shows greater
changes than dress. The deep, black
edged paper and cards are no longer in
vogue.
A lady who sets many fashions in New
York has recently ordered her monogram
stamped in black on plain white paper.
MANY use stationery with narrow border
but do away with crest and monogram
while in mourning. If the address be
used it is of course stamped in black.
Black sealing wax is fashionable, and
this has banished crest and monogram
from the envelope.
During second mourning gray paper
has become popular, and gray sealing
wax matching the envelope takes the
place of black. When heliotrope is
reached in dress heliotrope wax may be
employed on envelopes.
Memorial cards, which have gone out
in England, are occasionally ordered
but the custom is not general. Nor is il
considered obligatory to send even q
card in answer to call or letter of con.
dolence. Death releases the afflicted
from all social obligations for period Of
mot lees than year.

ever be introduced among W it is posi-

Dogs vs.. Horses.

Experiments of breeding, like those
which have been SO successful in the i'm
provement Of horses, are now being made
with dogs to produce q style of animal
especially fitted for harness. 1t is thought
a desideratum to graft the splendid chest
and breathing capacity of the bull dog
upon the stalwart stock of tho mastiff,
which has been found too long in the
back and legs. There are markets in
Belgium where dogs are bought and sold
for draught purposes as horses are at
Tattersall's, and it is not unusual for
capacity built and wcll-broken dog to
bring $50 or 1926. Consul Smith points
out that force equal 70 that of Niagara
is running to waste in the United States
at the very heels of the people. He esti-
mates that in our wasted dog power we
have an idle force in America of at least
$500, 900, 600 pounds; reckoning the
strength of dog at 500 pounds, which
is probably below the average. The con-
sui says that there is not an article of
merchandise, from ton of coal to loef
of bread, sold in any of our cities, which
might not be more advantageously deliv-
cred by dogs than horses. and he points
out that in their employment a certain
municipal advantage would be gained,
for the litter made by horses is the most
fruitful source of dirt in our city, to say
nothing of the great saving in the wear
and tear of the pavements.- Boston

The First Run on q Bank.

The first ''run on bank" of which We
have any record took place in London in
1867. In that year some London bank
ers were unable to meet the unexpected
demands of their depositors for money
and closed their doors. The people sup
posed they were to be swindled, riot
ensued, and four bankers were dragged
from their offices and hanged in their
own doorways. The military had to be
called out before order was restored.
Although this is the first recorded
run" such affairs could not have been
of usual occurrence. as the word shank
rupt" plainly shows. 1t is derived from
two Italian words which mean "broken
bench" The money changers and
money lenders did business at counters
in the market places of italian cities,
and q man would often rush into the
square, overturn the counters or benches
and steal the cash. Hence shank
rupt," or one whose bench il broken.
came to mean man without cash.--(St
Louis Republic.

TRAINED WOMEN COOKS.

The heavy part of domestic labor will
after q time be done by machinery and by
professional cleaners and scrubbers who
go from house to house, but there will
always be demand for trained women
cooks. There is something fine and
aesthetic in the preparation of dainty
food. The labor is not severe, and the
mixing and cooking of choice and health
full foods. such as civilized beings ought
to eat, require a degree of intellectual
power not less than is demanded to write
good poem. If not exactly an intellec-
tual occupation, high class cooking
comes so near it that it must be
considered fully as honorable as the pro-
fession of trained nurse. By all means
women with taste that way should train
themselves for skilled cooks. Then,
with good grammar, courteous manners,
spotless white aprons and caps, they
could command their own price and an
honorable position socially. What the
trained nurse has accomplished for herself
along this line the trained woman cook
can do for herself.-[St. Louis Star Say

Waiting for Volume III.

The well-knOwn Russian poet,
fIsci.Siue, who was always over head
and ears in debt, had volume of his
books splendidly bound and sent to
the Gar, with this inscription on the
title.page: 1.-THE works of Puschkine,
dedicated to His Majesty"
The Emperor duly received it, and
in his turn sent him a book Of blank
pages, among which were several
bank-notes of 1000 rubles each,
which he had forwarded to the poet
with this autograph inscription. On
the first page was written: 1.-THE
Emperor's works. to the poet Pusch-
kline"
The following day the Emperor met
the poet at the Imperial Theater, and
said to him: "By the bye, Puschkine,
how did you like my poetry"

HOW TO LOOK cool SUDDENLY.

If you come in after long round of
shopping and receive sudden summons
to the parlOr to meet some unexpected
guest, do not be dismayed at the crimson
face which meets your eye as you stand
before your dressing table mirror. Like
wise do not seek remedy in the bath
room. Many women think the only way
to cool off is to battle the face lavishly
in cool water. This is great mistake,
and with a thin skin will only intensity
the color, and the last estate of this wo
man shall be worse than the first. Dash
the water on throat and neck as freely
as you choose, particularly at the back of
the neck, but if the face is bathed at all
let it be done sparingly. then sponge it
with Florida water and lastly apply a
generous coating of rice powder You
will look CHASTITY, but let the powder re-
main while you add the few necessary
touches to your toilet. Then, just as
you are to descend to the parlor, dust off
all superfluous powder lightly, and you
will welcome your guest fresh and cool,
not only in appearance, but in reality

THE USEFUL HAIRPIN.

The use of the hairpin is as great a
mystery to the average man as the spread
of the cholera is to the scientist, despite
the fact that nearly every man has at
some period of his existence been desig-
mated as ''hairpin" of some kind or
other by one of his irate fellows, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. For the benefit of
these. as well as the gentler sex, which
uses it so extensively, but which is gen
orally unaware of the means or manner
of its manufacture, we append few sta
tistics. Hairpins are made by automatic
and very complicated machines. The
coiled wire is put upon drums and be-
comes Strengthened as it feeds itself to
the machine. 1t passes along until it
reaches two cutters, which point the end
at the same time they cut it the length
required. This piece of wire then slips
along an iron plate until it reaches a slot,
through which it is pressed into regular
shape. The hairpins are then put into a
pan and japanned, after which they are
heated in an oven with temperature of
from 800 to 400 degrees There are
but four American factories. The
largest are in Birmingham and Water
bury, Conn, the others are in Philadel-
phia and Brooklyn. Five hundred thou
sand dollars worth of hairpins are an
nually imported from England, Francs
and Germany. Judging by the immense
amount of money thus expended it would
appear that the headgear of large por
tion of our feminine population is some
what eXtraneOus.

"Of What Were You President"

The ignorance of some Englishmen
in American affairs and American
history is something appalling. This
is illustrated in one particular at
least by the following Incident
Not many months ago certain
New York newspaper had on its staff
young BritOn. a university grad
uate and a man who took honOrs in
the dead languages at his college.
Some time before the death Of ex-
President Hayes the young man was
sent to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to OBJ
tain an interview with that gentle
man, who was then stopping tenn
porarily in the city.
Arriving at the hotel the young
man sent up his name and shortly
afterward was ushered into the
presence of Mr.. Hayes
"Are you ex-Presdent Hayes"
queried the Englishman, not wishing
to be mistaken in his man.
| EYES," replied the ex-Prcsident.
"What can l do for you?"
! ooh, l was sent to interview you, !"
returned the reporter, and he at once
set out to obtain Mr.. Hayes i'm
pressions OF New York and the couu-
try. The eX-President conversed
entertainingly for few moments
and the Englishman took his leave.
No sooner had he got outside the
door, however, than thought struck
him. He must know more about the
man with whom he had talked.
Opening the door again, The. thrust
his head in and said:-'I beg your
pardon, MIR. Hayes, but would you
mind telling me of what you were
nreSident?"

Best Time to Advertise.

The best time to advertise is when
times are dull. At such period as the
present people gaze anxiously at every
dollar before they part with it, and they
never let one go until they are sure that
it will bring the largest possible returns
in value. SO the columns OF the news
papers are closely scanned, and the dealer
who offers the most tempting induce
ments for trade gets it. Their, is plenty
of money to be spent even now if the
holders are sure of getting little more
than its worth One of the Courier's
heaviest advertisers is enjoying an ex-
traordinary demand for speciality which
it offers. and no one would suspect that
times were quiet who saw the eager
throng of women at the firms counters.
Advertising in the newspaper does it;
and the wise advertiser simply doubles
his efforts when people need to be at
tracted. The time to stop advertising is
when you couldn't keep folks out of the
store if you tried to.-[Louisville
Courier,

Novel Methods Of Making living In .
Great City.
In CITY like New York the men and
women who earn their livelihood by odd
occupations form vast army. The
names of their different modes Of living
would fill q volume in themselves. Mod
ern progress and the never ending and
daily increasing struggle for existence 10
continually swelling the ranks. About
a dozen men make good living among
the working jewelers. in the vicinity OF
Maiden Lane aud in less prctentious To-
calities demagnetizing watches. The
tasters form another class Of men with
odd occupations. They congregate
around Pearl street, at the appraisers
stores, and are to be found on the floor
of the produce and fruit exchanges.
They never drink, aud seldom smoke,
and they take as much care of their palate
as a prima donna does of her voice.
men have started into the business of
visiting, without invitation, the rooms
of young men in boarding houses, fur
nished rooms and flats, asking them if
they have anything to sell, and conclud-
ing a cash transaction on the spot. This
system saves the modesty of the
dude and insures the privacy
of the transactions. The painting
of black eyes is tlourishing business.
Only q year ago there was but one pro-
fessional who made tho treatment of dis
colored optics special business. Now
that profession is no longer confined to
downtown, and there are four establish
ments above twenty-third street, each
employing as many assistants as popu-
lar barber's shop. The usual treatment
is to extract the extravasated blood by
leeches and then to paint the skin.
When this is carefully done the ''sign Of
the blackguard," as Thackeray called it,
is we'll nigh obliterated. The tattooers
| are to be found only in the dime muse
ums and OH the water front, near Coen-
ties slip. Those on South street are ex-
sailors and their principal customers are
sea going men. The men who sell side
walk novelties, such as the mechanical
walking toys, make much greater profit
than one would suppose, and those who
vend them can afford to dress much
better than they do, only it would hurt
their business, at least that seems to be
the general opinion. These toys whole
sale at about $1.2O dozen, and the
street vendors easily get twenty five
cents each for them while the novelty
lasts, giving the handsome profit Of
So. 50 a dozen. There are two very
handsome lads, about fifteen and six
teen years of age, who find q lucrative
business in polishing up the handles Of
the big front doors, brass door plates,
bell pulls and letter boxes of the fats
and residences of the west side, from
Twenty-third street up. They charge
from ten cents to twenty five cents for
