Brides Statement.
NEW YORK, June 2--whsn shown the
statement Of President Mcbride that the
failure to settle the miners strike st
Springfield, Ills. was due to Russell Sage
and the Gould estate, who owned nearly
oil the stock In the Consolidated Coal
company Of St Louis, Mr.. sags smiled
and said:
think that the strike will soon be
over. Its back bone is broken, and il the
miners are only let alone, they will soon
60 back to work. / have done my part in
the settlement.
On May 20. I sent . telegram TO Mr..
Ridgway, asking him to attend a meeting
with Mr.. Mcbride. with view to ending
the strike. He replied on the same day
that he had the meeting under considera-
tion, and thought he would be able 70
bring about such a settlement as would
be for the best interests of the miners and
the Consolidated Coal company.
Yesterday l received long telegram
from Mr.. Ridgway. stating that he did
not attend the meeting, as he had con-
cluded 1t best to let the miners alone and
they would 90 back to work.
That's just where the matter stands.
but think Mr.. Ridgway has got the
thing well In hand. He came out all
right In the strike four years ago, and I
have no doubt be will this time.

Mrs. stexensen In the chain.

hrs. Stevenson presided ait the recent
convention Of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. The wife of the vice
president has evidently never opened the
covers Of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, so she supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
a mild hammered man, who neverthe-
less knew all about overruling and
quashing and laying on the table This
man sat st Mrs. f5tevenson's elbow, told
her what to do next in all cases and scut-
tied number of ships in the shape Of
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident of this sort was
when motion was offered by a distin-
guished locking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. hrs. Stevenson was
standing at tho time, and without wait
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had chance to
draw a long breath. Immediately there
was storm of opposition. Then the
mild pariiamentarian whispered some
thing TO Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded
in q ladylike manner with her pretty
gavel and said:
THE question before the congress. la
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
Of two things with it. We can either
we can either WHAT" she blandly and
frankly asked, turning to the blushing

1t was SO openly done that it brought

eral minutes. Then they laid the reso-
luton on the table and went gayly on
about their business. York sun.

Treatment of the Feet.

a writer III Boots aud Shoes has been
interviewing a ehiropodist ON the care of
the feet aud has got this information
from him concerning the treatment for
heated, tired feet after walking or stand
ing:
He says, truly enough, that authori-
ties differ as to the value OF the various
foot baths. "Hot water enlarges the
feet by drawing the blood to them.
When used, they should be rubbed or
exercised before attempting to put on
tight boot. Mustard and hot water in a
foot bath will cure a nervous headache
and induce sleep. Bunions and corns
and callousness are natures protestations
against bad shoe leather. Two hot foot
baths a week and little pedicuring viii
remove the cause of much discomfort.
"A warm bath, with an ounce of sea
salt, is almost as restful as a nap. Pad
die in tue water until it cools, dry with
rough towel, put ON fresh stockings,
make Il change Of shoes, and the person
who was ready to drop will then be
ready to stand up. But the quickest re-
lief from fatigue is to plunge the foot in
ice cold water aud keep it immersed I'M
til there is a sensation of warmth. An
other tonic for the sole is alcohol. 1t
dries the feet nicely after being out in
the wet. Spirit baths are used by pro-
fessional dancers, acrobats and pedes-
TRANS to keep the feet in condition"
The ice cold foot bath seems rather
dangerous remedy to persons unaccus-
toned to it, and the caution is suggest
ed to experiment with it in very mild
weather.

The Value of Short Maps

IF mistake not, Sir James Crichton
Browne, in the course of recent adj
dress, remarked upon the curious elias
ITCHY of our brain as regards sleep. He
cited the cases of people who rarely slept
we'll or much and who nevertheless are
able to carry on intellectual work with
ease and ability. | suppose there is d
habit" of brain in the matter of sleep
as in other respects, and while ordinarily
we demand fair quantum of absolute
rest some of us contrive as a habit to
get along with minimum Of somnolent
repose. This subject was lately recalled
to mind when | happened to be dining
alone with well known surgeon in busy
practice.
My friend is a man Who like myself,
journeys over the length and breadth Of
the land. He had just returned from d
long and tedious journey, tired and fag-
ged. We sat down to dinner. Between
the courses he fell sound asleep, let us
say for three minutes-not more, GER
tainly. After each nap he woke up, ate
his quantum and went off again into
slumber | said nothing, but watched
him closely. | observed that after each
awakening he grew brighter, the tired
look disappeared, and by the time din
ner was at an END Richard was himself
again. | iolled him on his installments
of sleep. His reply was characteristic.
Don't you know said he, ''that it
isn't a long sleep which is needed to re-
fresh an active brain? Nerve tissue is re-
paired easily with very little sleep if you
also take food.
"Of my own experience the remark
holds good. AID it reveals very curious
and in some respects anomalous condi-
ton Of the brain and its ways. London
