The ChiropodIst on Pointed Shoes.

81 am sorry to see a tendency on
the part of men to forsake the sharp
pointed shoe that has held the fashion
for SO long and to return to the br oader
style of extremity" said a leading
chiropodist. "The change, if it come
about as I expect it will, will have It
pretty substantial effect for the worse
upon my business. Two-thirds of the
patients who come to me suffering
from painful callous growths on their
feet are the victims of sharptoed shoes.
There is only one foot in thousand
that can wear such an article with
anything like comfort, but the 900
who can't, stand the misery in order
to make pretty pedal appearance.
The contracted space allowed for the
toes in such shoes crowds them to-
gether as in q wise, and circulation in
them stops and corns and bunions are
the result. No one should wear shoe
which does not allow the joints of the
toes to work naturally, but it should
always fit the foot closely and snugly.
A loose shoe is as provocative of corns
and other foot ailments as a tight and
narrow one. - Washington Post.

The Rice-Paper Tree.

The rice-paper tree, one OF the most
interesting of the flora of China, has
recently been successfully expert

Aourishes, with other sub tropical and

says the st. Louis Republic. When
first tran splanted in American soil the
experimenters expressed doubts of its
hardness, fearing that it would be un-
able to stand the winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and 1t
is now the universal opinion that it is
as we'll adapted to the climate of this
country as to that OF the famed Flowery
Kingdom.
1t is small tree, growing to height
of less than fifteen feet, with a trunk
or stem from three to five inches in
diameter. It's canes, which vary in
color according to season, are large.
soft and downy, the form somewl
resembling that noticed in those
the castor bean plant. The ce,ebra-
ted rice paper, the product of this
queer tree, is formed OF thin slices OF
the pith, which is taken from the body
of the tree in beautiful cylinders sew
eral inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply the
blade Of sharp, straight knife to
these cylinders, and, turning them
round either by rude machinery or by
hand, dexterously pare the pith from
the circumference to center. This
operation makes roll of extra quality
paper, the scroll being of equal thick
ness throughout. After cylinder has
thus been pared it is unrolled aud
weights are placed upon it until tho
surface is rendered uniformly smooth
throughout its entire length.
1t is altogether probable that if rice
paper making becomes an industry in
the United States these PRINT i've
modes will all be done ava y with.

The private carrying Of pistols in
England appears to have reached the
proportions OF n menace and nuis-
ance, and Lord Carmarthen recently
introduced bill in Parliament to regu-
late the conditions under which that
dangerous instrument may be sold,
and define those under which it may
be carried. The object of tho bill was
to keep it ont of the hands of roughs
and minors, and in general way to
discourage tho practice, except where
it was manifestly necessary. 1t pro-
vides TINT the vender must take out o
license, and that the pistols must be
consecutlvely numbered. so that they
can bo at any time identified. The
buyers namo must be registered, and
he must not be convict or ticket

of age. It contains other rather
stringent interdictions, showing that
the abuse which it sought to rectify
had grown into considerable proper

A stroll through the wholesale dry
goods district of New York City will
convince the most skeptical that
wholesale houses, large aad small, are
taking advantage of this era of Cor
man free trade to buy everything in
their line anywhere but in the United
States. The sidewalks along the dry
goods sections are blocked with those
strong, heavy boxes bearing the in
scription, "Made in England, Made
in France" Made in Germany" etc.
This looks to the casual observer like
good times and prosperity, but when
we consider that each one of these
foreign boxes and bales throws q damp
ening shower on our own furnace
fires, and that the prosperity is over
the water and not here, the whole bus
mess assumes another aspect. An en-
ploye of the New York Custom House
has stated that during his twenty
years of service he has never before
seen such volume of imports as is
now entering the country. The whole
Custom House force, as we'll as many
substitutes, are employed ON full
time. This is prosperity for the Gus
tom House employe. but it is destitu-
tion for the American workman.

1t is ruled by the postal authorities
that any reduction of the size of pos
tai card by clipping, rounding off the
corners or otherwise, will subject the
receiver of the card to charge of one
cent on delivery. This makes the cost
Of postal card equivalent to letter
postage. Many persons enclose postal
cards to correspondents in envelops
too small, and imagine that little
clipping won't make any difference.
Others round off the corners for orna-
mental purposes or convenience in
handling. But tho practice is wrong.

fears were not ungrcunded. The first
thing did was to secure the revolver.
Then I turned to my friend.
"'What are you going to shoot
yourself for?' demanded, bluntly.
"Gilby made no attempt to deny
his intention.
"'I am sorry you have disturbed

went on:
''Neither had /, until Gilby told me
about it, although I am doctor. It
is one of those strange diseases that
limit themselves luckily to particu-
lar district, and is only found among
few tribes along the coast of Guinea.
1t is generally thought that Europeans
cannot take it, but the idea is an
erroneous one, or, at any rate, there
are exceptions, or Lieutenant Gilby's
father died of it, when my friend was
boy of ten. His father was Captain
of q trading vessel, and the Lieuten-
ant was accompanying him on voy-
age when they called at the Guinea
Coast. He therefore saw his father in
all the indescribable agony of the dis
ease, which seems more like hydro
phobia than anything else, although it
is infectious.
"The sight made great impression
on him, and, since his constitution
was quite similar to his fathers, he had
always suffered from an almost super.
natural terror of the Guinea Coast.
He was quite persuaded that if he ever
went ashore there he would catch the
disease and die like his father. Lash
ton, it seems, was aware of this mono
mania of his; tor it almost amounted
to monomania.
"And he had really caught the dis
ease?" I asked.
Macpherson smiled. "He thought
he had. The first symptom is the ap.
pearaEce of small black marks on the

pous in the use. of our language, ac-

Professor Whitney, and he thinks we
ought to get back to the modesty and
simplicity of our ancestors. This ad-
vice of Professor Whitney is no doubt
timely. But in advising us not to use
big words and to be clear, pure and
simple in diction he employs the fol-
loving words: "Avoid all polysilla-
bical profundity, pompous prolixity

Farmers should study this table.
They will see that in eight months the
markets of the world have paid ST.
265, 900 less money for American bar
ley since the wall of protection was
broken down. Foreign buyers, more
over, have bought S14, ,230, 900 worth
less of American corn and $54, 900 less
of corn meal. OF wheat their pur.
chases were $16,600,00O less uuder
the German tariff, and of flour, Sl4,-
100000 less. OF oats they bought
$1,8OO,OOO worth less, and oat meal
alone shows an increase of less than
1920, 900 during eight months.
Farmers should note these figures
and contrast the actual performance
of the free trade tariff law with the
predictions and promises that were
made to the farmers during the cam-
paign Of 1892. That was theory;
this is condition. Tho process of
letting ourselves out to the markets
of the world has cost those farmers
who grow cereals the sum of SIT, 500,-

Asr' HE TOOK TIME TO DIE.


There was an old fellow who never had time
For fresh morning look at the Volume
y sublime,
Who never had time for the soft hand OF
prayer
10 smooth out the wrinkles of labor and care,
Who could not find time for that service most
sweet
At the altar Of home where the dear ones al
meet,
And never found time with the people of God
To learn the good way that the fathers have
trod;
But he found time to die,
Oh, yes!
He found time to die.
This busy old fellow, too busy was he
To linger at breakfast, at dinner or tea
For the merry small chatter of children and
wife,
But led In his marriage bachelor life;
Too busy for kisses, too busy for play,
No time to be loving, no time to be gay,
No time to replenish his vanishing health,
No time to enjoy his swift-gathering wealth.
But he found time to die;
Oh, yes!
He found time to die.
This beautiful world had no beauty for him;
Its colors were black and its sunshine was
dim.
No leisure for woodland, for river, or hill,
No time in his life just to think and be still,
No time for his neighbors, no time for his
friends,
No time for those highest immutable ends
OF the life of n man who is not for q day,
But, for worse or for better, for ever and aye.
Yet he found time to die?
Oh, yes!
He found time to die.

In the cold starlight where thou canst MOI

Suffer him not to rest.

And binds the scattered ages with song.

His might, his spell, we know not what

This hath relish Of eternity.
