FOR TENDER FEET.
How to Treat Them When They Ache in
Hot Weather.

Hot Weather.
Her summer complexion is not the only
thing of interest to the summer girl In
deed, it is not the point of chief lmpor-
lance TO her Her feet are the subject
which engrosses her best mental effort.
She has discovered from past experiences
that whether she rushes about tennis
courts or languishes III plazZaS, whether
she stands in StatueSQue Wall-hoWer pose
in bathrooms or dances all the evening,
whether she climbs mountains or is driven
ever them, her feet are apt to trouble
her,
The explanation is not far to seek. Heat
seems to expand the feet and has no APP
Shoes purchased in April are instruments
of torture in July. All shoes for summer
wear should be at least half a size larger
than those worn in the winter Low
shoes which leave the ankles free and the
circulation unimpaired are best for all
use except walking. In walking a boot
Which does not admit sand and which
supports the ankle is a positive necessity.
Laced boots should be worn for walking
rather than buttoned ones. Tor the laced
ones admit of being loosened or frightened
to meet the demands of the occasion.
Fairly stout soles are desirable but the
ightest possible leather. brown in color
rather than black, as the lighter shade
absorbs less heat.
The young woman with ambition to-
ward a waist of twenty inches will find
that her feet give her a serious incon-
venience. The undue compression at the
waist produces pain and swelling in the
wrists and ankles until they are positive
~ shapeless. Of course, the only remedy
for this malady is to stop the tight lac
ing.
When one is very weary and footsore
after summer day, soak the feet in
tepid water in which little ammonia
has been dropped. AS the water becomes
cool, add hot water to keep the tempera-
ture even. Dry the feet and rub them
gently and thoroughly with a mixture
consisting of an ounce of linseed oil,
an ounce of lime water and
a half drahm of spirits of camphor, we'll
shaken. After the feet have been rubbed
with this mixture they should be wrapped
IN soft linen and rested awhile. Even the
most tired and sore feet will be refreshed
by this treatment, and their possessor will
feel like another woman

married, and in the course of time found
himself widower. A few weeks back
he decided to revisit the home of his
youth, and while here he took in the diff
trent places of amusement. AS he sat
watching the children dance he noticed a
very pretty little Maiden who moved with
unusual grace, and who seemed to him q
reincarnation of his early sweetheart
Could the child be the daughter of the
girl he loved? If so, the mother must be
present Raising his opera glasses he
looked at every face in the building, and
at last, with glasses directed as it hap
pened directly at him, he saw the sweet
heart of his youth. The recognition was
mutual, and as he waved his handker-
chief she responded with her fan. After
the conclusion of the entertainment he
waited for her at the door, and learned
from her that she had been married and
become a widow. Since then he has been
such a close attendant on her that it is
stated upon good authority that the we'd
ding will soon take place.-Louisville

Thinning SeckeI Pears.

The Seckel is at its best a small pear,
but when well grown it is of the very
highest quality. 1t is, however, a variety
that is especially likely to overbear. The
fruit sets in clusters, and of these some
should be removed entirely, while none
should be allowed more than a single pear
on a fruit spur. If allowed to set all
that will set from the blossom the vigor
of the tree is injured, and both fruit and
leaf will be subject to blight. When it is
best the Seckel should be well colored
The tree is apt to grow too bushy, and in
the center it will be filed with small,
poorly-colored fruit

His First Case.

The young man had just been admit
ted to practice at the bar. He sat within
the bar enclosure, specializing upon the
chances of clients coming to him, by
mistake or otherwise. He heard his
name spoken and started to his feet.
Mr.. De Novo, the prisoner at the bar
is unable to employ counsel. Will you de-
fend him 20

with him to the bar Office for a few mo-

Yes, sir; and give him your best adj

had really no defense whatever So, in
pursuance of your honor's SO kindly

out of the window and make himself as

my advice, and I believe he will also OBJ

Cost of Street Car Motors.

Five years ago, when electric street ears
were. introduced in Cleveland, motor
equipments cost $2500 for each car. The
improvements and competition have since
reduced the cost SO the best motors can

ed car costs $1,000, making the total worth
of car with motor attached, when new,
$4,000. Electric street car motors have no
fixed lease of life. They are likely to be
burned out or otherwise made useless at
any time. Some may stand service six
years and others not six weeks. The

Hunting Foxes with Dynamite.

A fox hunt with dynamite was the
novel sport of farmers near Point Pleas
ant. Bucks county, a few days ago. For
a long time the farmers had suffered
from the incursions of some adroit thief
upon their poultry reserves. The thefts
were so daring, yet SO mysterious, that it
was decided to set a watch. SO when
John Swope heard a racket in his hennery
he ran out. He was just in time to see
a big fox, with a nice fat pullet in his
spread, and a number Of Farmer Swope's
neighbors assisted him in tracking the
fox They trailed him to his den under
a huge rock, and were then confronted
with the problem of routing him. They
got some dynamite, fired it, and in a few
minutes out came, not one, but four
foxes, half stunned and blinded. The ami
mails were killed as fast as they appeared
and then the den was walled up.-Phila-

Trolley Currents and Signals.

A most serious possibility has been
pointed out by a leading American en-
gineering journal While we in Ameri-

way in which stray electricity eats
holes in water and gas pipes by electro
lytic action, English engineers have taken
warning, and the Board of Trade has en-
acted rules for the control of the circuits
of electric street railways. In the
course of the preliminary discussion be-
fore the board of trade, very grave
question presented itself, to-wit: Whether
wandering earth current from an cleo

ment.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
An Active Campaign Being Conducted
by Them ia Colorado.

by Them ia Colorado.
WASHINGTON, October 1S.-Letters
from Colorado indicate an interesting
feature of the campaign in the part the
women are taking in it. They will have
their first vote on general State cleo
ton in November next. All OF the three
parties, Republican, Democratic and
Populist, have tickets in the field, and
there are female candidates on each OF
them. The ladies, beside co-operat-
ing with the men on the State,
county, ward and precinct COM
mitteas, have independent clubs and
other party organizations OF their own,
at which they discuss general political
questions, canvass party prospects and
do all they can TO instill into the minds
OF the members of their sex the neces-
sitS of full party vote and Of creating
an an reelection enthusiasm which will
insure this result. They also hold pub
lie meetings, which, though conducted,
so far as the machinery is concerned, by
the women, are addressed by speakers
OF both sexes. Meetings OF this chsrac-
ter have been held in the principal halls
and theatres 10 Denver and other cities,
and the audiences were composed large
ly of women.
All accounts represent that the wo.
men are taking quite as much interest
in the campaign as the men, and the
indications are believed TO be that the
female vote of the State will be almost
equal to the female population. The
state Of affairs is due largely to the Bit
ter feeling which exists between the
Republican and PopUlst parties. The
predominant in the cities,
while the Populists have their greatest
strength In the mining districts. AS
there are proportionatelY more women
in the cities than 10 the mining camps
the Republicans expect to gain an ad-
from the female vote.

DAYTON is in favor OF duty on all raw

stranger will you please tell me- what
raw material is?"
Raw material" said the stranger,
els coal that has never had the PICK
stuck into IL, timber that has never
been touched by the axe, iron that mas
never been developed
TO this, HamricK replied, "Well, II
that be so, don't see why every man
will not vote for w. L. Wilson, for we
have no raw material In this county,
because our coal has been touched by

our iron is being developed, etc.
