DO Not Give Away Your Toes

A prominent society man, who with a
friend occupies rooms in a select apart
mcnt house in west Philadelphia, has -
dcformcd his feet by wearing pointed tocd
shoes that the ~amputation Of the second
toe on the left foot was made necessary.
He preserved the toe, which the doctor re
turned i'll alcohol. and as a joke presented
il To his roommate for a birthday present.
Contrary to his expectations, his roommate
developed an affection for the severed mrm-
Der and has preserved it with the greatest
care. The young man has recently become
engaged to a charming young lady and
would like TO set the wedding day, but his
roommate has threatened To tender the
now badly shriveled toe as n wedding pres
ent To his wife. The min tocd man OK
poStulatCd, but TO little effect, rs the friend
insists that his wife is entitled 10 his whole
person. The date for the marriage i still
open, II in the meantime the prospective
husband is making frantic efforts to secure
the toe, having offered as high as $50 for
the missing member. -Philadclphia Rec

THE VOGUE IN RINGS.

rsnsacking the libraries and old maya
zines to find articles on old gems and
jewels from which original and beautl-

S:!1er has come INTO great popularity
as the proper metal for these birthday
r::Ss-especially for agate. sardonyx
and '.oonstone-and much fine work in
uniGae settings and beautiful chasings
has been GsEe.
Whether the jewellers approve the fad
or not is theme not to be entered upon
rashly, but the feminine lover of pre-
cions stones has not touched the top
notch in pleasure of this kind until she
has chosen her own birthstone from a
glittering profusion, and suffered
mentally over the choice of appropriate
design in setting, and has awaited pa
tiently that delightful moment when
the stone of her heart, in the mounting
of her own invention, shall shine upon
her finger.

sense to want to save that which is
most worth saving. So that supply
of .'best'' linen does not necessarily
imply that the tamily's usual supply is

is usually employed by mag
iStrateS to eXtort confessions. The
fingers on each hand of the prisoner are
fixed between rods so orranged that by
pulling cord the fingers are squeezed
between them. The more the cord is
pulled the tighter the fingers are
squeezed. SO dreadful is the pain
caused by this torture that after short
time almost invariably the prisoner is
willing to confess almost anything his
accuser desires.
There are almost numberIess other
tortures of differerent degrees of bar
barity and ingenious cruelty, but the
foregoing are those in daily public use.

prisoner is either suspended on a horl-

Some Things Which the Reserve

There Is theory in the minds of
some badly informed housewives that it
is mark of vulgarity to have "best"
things. They say proudly. and quite
rightly for that matter. that nothing is
too good for their own people. They
seem to imagine, lllogically, that this
absOlveS them from the necessity of
having good things for their guests.
Nevertheless, it is not true that a warm
liking for ones own household is m
compatible with keeping a certain set
of sheets, pillow cases and towels for
the guest chamber. Every woman of
housewifely instincts has a natural de-
