until the age of II. Once he puts on a hat

Wet Feet and Colds.

One plan to overcome susceptibility to
taking cold from wet feet is as follows:
Dip the feet in cold water and let them
remain there few seconds. The next
morning dip them in again, letting them
remain in few seconds longer. The next
morning keep them in little longer yet
and continue this until you can leave
them in half an hour without taking cold
In this way a person can become accus-
toned to the cold water, and he will not
take cold from this cause. But be 1t I'M
derstood that the hardening" must be
done carefully.
The drawing room tea table is now an
established institution. 1t is not fad,
but desirable and necessary attendant to
a pleasant and comfortable custom.

SnYer Ornaments.

Conspicuous among ornaments are the
new long silver chains, says The Jewellers
Circular Many are punctuated with tur-
quoise and pearl. Some are of dainty
fnencss Others by the twisting of the
silver strands give interesting frosty effects
and also those of light.
The use Of seed pearls with silver is not
ed in many brooches and trinkets. Pref
ty and inexpensive ornaments are due to
this new combination. .r.
The silver slides or the wrinkled neck
bands now in vogue show no decrease in
popularity. Swords in silver are more
prominent and undergo new enrichment
with turquoise, seed pearls and enamel.

PRACTICAL JOKES.
Fielding Tells Of Two That We're
Particularly Narrowing.
One Was Played by "Dundreary" sotkern
Upon John T. Raymond and the Other
Was Played by Mother Nature
ON Fielding Himself.
COPYRIGHT. 1894

lCOFYhICHT, 1894
The observance of April Fools day
is not what it was-not what it ought
TO be. We have still plenty of fools,
but the old-style practical joker is no
more. l believe that his suppression
and the discontinuance Of the habit Of
blowing out the gas are the two chief
reforms achieved by the agency Of the
newspaper Photographer. The new
style practical joker Is the man who
gets dollar per joke, and puts the
money in the bank. He is very much
more practical than the real author of
the joke who in the early part of this
century-probably in the very hard
winter of eighteen-hundred-an froze.
to-death-was walking around New
York with no soles on his shoes. There
was no money in the old fashioned jok-
ing, and so it no longer exists in this
commercial age.
Ear be it from me to apologize for
*he extinct practical joker; and yet
there is much to be said in his favor
His chief justification lies in the unde-
nlable fact that the spirit Of practical
joking exists in nature
The most narrowing jest Of human
origin that ever ! heard of was played
by "Dundreary" Sothern upon John
t. Raymond. There were half q
dozen others in the party, but do not
recall their names. They were in a
small billiard room in one of the New
York hotels. 1t was in a basement

time. Raymond was not playing. He
