Curiosities About Women, Shoes.

Prior to 1925 all shoes made for
women's wear were without heels,
and after that date all heels of that
class were of the concave pattern up
to 1857. From the earliest dates in
ehocmaking down to 1910 women's
shoes were all "straits" ia TO
say, they were made so as to be worn
on either foot without inconvenience.
The first set of "rights and lefts" lasts
werc made in Philadelphia and bought
by Daniel Silsbee, manufacturer,
whose works were located in what i.
or was known as "Woodend," Lynn,

It is evident to the Chicago Herald
that there is n general movement in
The greater cities and their suburbs,
as well rs in the large manufacturing
centers, toward revival of building.
The motive for this is in the cheapness
Of bacterial, the abundance of labor,
the lowered rate of wages md the
plentifulness of loanable funds.

gum. 1t is not all used, by the way,
by children and foolish women, re-
marks the Chicago Herald. Dentists
often recommend chewing gum for the
teeth, and physicians prescribe it
sometimes as an aid to digestion, be-
cause it excites the activity of the
salivary glands. Large drug houses

si,leration t. the fact that Nh amount

just as great on poor soil as on rich !;
just ms great, or, even greater, if the
plants set out are inferior as though

be widely different under these varying
conditions, hence it is the poorest kind
of policy to plant on poor soil, or to
use inferior plants. There nre two

be firm enough to lift on n fork with

cBMENr FLOORS roR HEN HOUSES.

1t is important that the floor of the
hen house should be without cracks.
These are almost Inevitable where
boards are used, and the moist drop
pings will also cause hoard floors to
rot quickly. A cement floor, if prop
erly made, will last lifetime, and is
very easily clesned. To prevent the
excrement from adhering to it, keep
little dry Garth i'll one corner, and
sprinkle it over the floor when en-
tircly cleaned, and again occasionally
as the droppings accumulate under the
roasting places. Boston Cultivator.

ON KEEPING BREAD.

One hears great deal of talk about
moist bread, and II lnrgc number of
housekeepcrs shut their hrend in mir
tight boxes to keep it moist, writes
Mrs. Emma J.. Ewing Such barbar.
ous treatment of bread may be cflica-
cious in keeping it moist, but bread
from which fresh air is excluded nl-
ways has disagreenble, clnyey flavor, 4.
and is unpalatable to people of cul-
tured tastes, who appreciate the nutty
sweetness that is n prominent charac-
teristic of all good bread.
The foolish notion of keeping bread
moist had lis origin in bal cookery.
Most of the stuff made by bakers has
to be eaten fresh and moist, or not
eaten at all. 1t is SO light and woody
that, if exposed to the mir few hours,
it grows dry and husky, and is almost
as unsavory and innu.ritious rs chips.
A large proportion of homemade bread
ID similar i'll character, and is affected
in similar manner by c posture to
the air. But properly-made bread
such bread MS ought to he i'll every in
telligent home and on every table
three times dry grows sweetcr by
exposure to the air, and is not Mt its
best until two or three DAYS old.
Bread should be kept in we'll GOV.
cred box or jar, but 1t should not he
wrapped i'll cloths, and the box or iar
in which it is kept should have small
holes in tho top or sides, through
which the fresh mir can have access.
AS soon MS lonves of bread nre taken
from the oven they should be exposed
freely to pure mir, and Mt no time
afterward should they be excluded
from it. Make good bread, put it in
we'll ventilated box after it is per
tectly cool, and it will keep sufficient
~ moist Mt least n week. -Jenness

"Uncle, quick, come along; there's
the queerest looking thing down there
down where those men nre. I'd
hardly ask the ladies to go just yet
there's such n crowd. Quick, uncle.
And he dragged him away.
