CARE OF TENDER FEET.
The Shoes to BE Worn in Summer--Treat
ment When Sore and swollen.

The Shoes to BE Worn in Summer--Trea
ment When Sore and swollen.
First and foremost, the boots and
shoes for summer wear should be halt
size larger than those worn during
the winter. Shoes are generally con-
sidered more comfortable than boots,
and should certainly be adopted, If
possible. in the summer, for they leave
the ankle free and the circulation I'M
impeded. However, if boots must be
worn, they should not be very high, as
any additional pressure means addi-
tional suffering. 1t is hardly neces-
sary, / hope, to mention that extreme
~ pointed toes and really high heels
should never really be thought of by
anyone who values peace of mind and
comfort. The leather for summer
footgear should be light, but not toe
thin, and brown in preference to black,
when brown is suitable to the occa.
sion.
The evil effects of tight lacing viii
be very soon realized by the woman
who has tender feet: the undue com
preston adds tenfold to the pam, anc
very often the ankles, even of voung
girls who are silly enough to sacrifice
their well-being for the sake of having
a waist of eighteen inches, are sc
swelled and inflamed by the end of the
day that they are utterly shapeiess.
In cases of this kind the remedy is
not far to seek, but it is more difficult
to relieve those who suffer legitimate
ly, so to speak. The following treat
ment should be persevered in; it viii
give immediate relief, and, when prac.
icable, should be resorted to twice a
day. Do not wait until you go to bed
but if the opportunity offers when You
come in, weary and footsore, apply the
remedies then:
Soak the feet well in tepid water, to
which little ammonia has been added,
and as the water gets cold pour in
more hot to keep up the temperature.
After drying the feet, rub them gent
~ and thoroughly with mixture made
thus:
Add one ounce of the best linseed oil
to the same quantity of lime-water
shake the bottle in which the ingredi.
ents are until a mixture about the
thickness of cream is produced, then
pour in half drahm of spirits of cam
phor, shake again, and it is ready for
use. The feet, after being rubbed,
should be wrapped in soft linen for a
little while, and then powdered with
boracic acid before the stockings are
replaced. In the event of the feet and
ankles being in a very infiamed con-
dition, after soaking them as have
described, apply an arnica lotion, which
will soon alIay the discom Tort. This
is made by adding twenty drops of
tincture of arnica to a half cupful OF
tepid water; saturate a piece of lint
sufficiently large to envelop the entire
foot with the lotion, cover it with
piece of oiled silk, and rest for an houJ
or two.-Locomotive Firemen's Maya

FOR HOME DRESSMAKERs.
The Amateur Dressmaker Finds 1t Dim
cult to Put in Sleeves Correctly.

The Amateur Dressmaker Finds 1t Diff.
cult to Put in Sleeves Correctly.
The amateur dressmaker is apt to re
gard the full. large sleeves as neces-
stating less care in the putting-in pro-
cess, but this is a fatal mistake. and
ruins an otherwise well-lnade bodice.
1t is quite true that the armhole may
be slightly larger where the sleeve Is
so voluminous, but on a small or mar
row figure it is even better to have the
armhOle too small, as, if much sloped.
the bodice is made to look much
smaller and narrower, and the big. full
sleeve has an almost grOtesque fleet.
In sloping the armhole let it clear the
arm all around and be so curved in
front that when the arm is brought
forward it is not straining against the
armhole, nor does it impede the cir
culation and thereby make the hands
look red and swollen.
Where the under-arm seam fits into
the bodice there should be quite
scoop" in the bodice. to clear the arm
and allow it to move forward. and I'M
derneath the arm the bodice should be
almost straight and about three
quarters of an inch below the arInpit.
The back is almost straight and close
up TO the arm, and it should not be
forgotten that if the back is sloped
out and made quite narrow, the sleeve
must drag and prove uncomfortable,
as it practically has to do the duty for
a part of the bodice.
A very much sloped and too narrow
back also looks even less against the
wide sleeves, and make the waist look
unduly large. Keep the back as broad
as possible, even on a large figure. as
big sleeves will greatly lessen the APP
parent width.-Chicago Times.

The pear chip is a revival of an old
fashioned preserve that our great
erandmothers were fond of making in
the good old days when canned fruit
was uni uown. Peel firm but ripe pears.
A very juicy pear is not as good for
this purpose. Core them and slice
them into the thinnest shavings.
Weigh these shavings or chips and al
low pound of graduated sugar to a
pound of chips and the Juice of two
lemons. Spread the chips Gu platters,
sprinkling the lemon juice over them
and sprinkling them with sugar. Let
them stand over night, and in the
morning turn them into a porcelain
kettle, and let them cook as they are,
very slowly, for bout a quarter of an
hour, at the back of the stove. They
must not boil hard or break to pieces,
but each slice must be distinct and
crisp. 1t therefore requires that the
pears be hard. When the chips have
reached the point where they seem
done, that is candied and crisp, take
them mp into tuinblers, strain the sirup
remaining over them and seal them NJ
like ielly.-N. Y, Tribune.

ton. Down at the warehouse there is
a pile of black bears 10 feet high which
has been there three weeks
No one Processes to know just why
such immense amounts of venison
have been slaughtered in Minnesota,
but the generally accepted reason is
the forest fires have forced the deer
into places where the pot-hunters can
get at them. Every cold storage ware
house in Chicago is glutted with ven
ison. 1t all appears TO come from
Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.
