BARE FEET ARE BETTER

Barefoot are all the rage just now
1t has all been caused by Trilby. Trilby
| is the girl in DeMaurier's novel who
| patterS around in her naked feet and
shows her fine toes and smooth white
ankles to the fascinated artists and
students.
Her toes were round and fine. They
were not cOnvulsed and intiamed with
bunions. The volcanic and Stratified
corn did not loom up Oh the knuckles
of her index toe, nor the soft corn
nestle down between. And every
body was delighted with Trilby's feet
AS a result of the craze that, more
/ by fortune than by merit, has attached
to this novel, and its heroine, the
papers announce that all women are
examining their feet and toes and find
ing out the artistic points OF these
hitherto neglected members. And the
more the foot is discussed the more
the modern shoe is deSpiSed. The
modern shoe is hard and rough. The
very best do not allow the foot the
freeSt action. There is little or no
ventilation. They are not pretty
leather cannot be as pretty as the
white skin of the foot
In fact it would be a great deal
better if we could all go barefoot or
wear sandals. The sandal is the proper
footwear. 1t protects the sole with
out shutting off the foot from yenti-
lation or concealing its beauties The
sandal is light and easy to carry. 1t
does not induce the Lowry bunion to
come and perch on the joints of our
toes. The aching corn and humping
callouS sore hate the sandal and fee
from it as a drunken man does from
Il understanding exhibition.
And besides all the advantages of
comfort the foot is one of the most
artistic portions Of the anatomy. 1t
Is JOY and a delight to the artist, 4
theme for the poets, and a prime re-
quisite to correct carriage of the body.
Not only that. The modern boot has
foStered the pugnacious and choleric
temper of the times. 1t has ceased 10
be an article of comfort and has drifted
into a weapon of defense and an
agency for revenge. Many 4 father
would have restained his temper in
stead of boosting Il young man through
his collar bone had not the modern
boot stood around as an aid and abet-
tor to violence.
If Trilby really can accomplish the
reform OF bare feet its other weak
points will be forgiven, or at least over
looked

FORCED EMERGENCIES AND REM
EDIES.

In its provision for the overthrow of
silver, President Clcveland's message
to congress on the 'exigency of the gold
reserve will meet with dissatisfaction
from a majority OF the people of the
! country. The majority is for the
white metal. and regardless of other
political beliefs or prejudices, resentS
gold dictation.
| In its provision for the maintenance
| of the country's credit, the presidents
| message will meet the appreciation
: of the country.
The stupid blunderS of the admins
tration and the present congress have
brought on the present emergencies.
But if the situation is as grave as the
president says, it is no time now to
higgie about the causes or troubles.
If time has arrived when something
must be done for immediate relief,
that relief should be furnished.
The only relief that is offered is the
issuance of bonds payable in gold.
The country must pay its bills and in
demanded so long as it sets itself up
to maintain silver and gold on a parity.
There is grave doubt whether con-
gress will assist the president. The
majority in congress is Democratic and
most Of the Democratic members blame
Cleveland and his Interference on the
tariff for their defeat Now when he
is sorely in want of help they may re
fuse it.
Another and greater cause for con
greSs to refuse is that unlimited
power to maintain the gold credit sug-
gested by Cleveland, means the repudi-
alton of silver and the placing of the
country on a gold basis alone. This
the present congress will not tolerate
unless it is dominated by the president
with power that has been unknown
in an executive before in this country.
Silver is our product. 1t has been
good money and is today, except in
England's eyes. The people of the
country are for silver itself. They
are also against any assumption on the
part of England, our traditional enemy,
that she shall run the finances of this
country and choke and strange us at
will.
These beliefs of the present congress
backed up by the known sentiment of
the people at large, may prove a great
hindrance if not Il complete barrier TO
Cleyeland's plan, which ON the cry of
exigency and pressing emergency,
turns the country over completely
and indefinitely to the gold dictators
of which England is the greatest.

A WEIRD PROPHECY.

Samuel Benner. the sage and prophet
of Dundas, O., has issued his annual
predictions for this year His views of
the business situation are not of the
rosy hue calculated to inspire conf
dence in the years business. He
says: There is not in view a single
prospective happening that would ad-
vance prices, except very short crops
of grain and cotton in 1885. There
can he no prosperity in the future with
out advancing prices in general all
along the lines OF production and man.

There is more To the same effect in
Mr.. Benner's predictions. but the sam

The PantoKraDh.

Within the past few years there have
been enormous profits from teaching
drawing in few easy lessons The
alleged system has been kept a pro-
found secret by all interested in it, and
pupils have, in some instances, been
compelled 10 sign contracts binding
themselves not in any way to divulge
the wonderful secret of the craft. In
most OF these eases the means and
equipment proved to be nothing more
nor less than pantograph; a simple
arrangement of wood or metal, the use
of which may be learned in one or two
lessons. BY use of this little device,
drawings may be copied in very brief
space of time, and may also be enlarged
or reduced by changing few pegs in
the frame The pantograph has It's
uses, but should never be employed 10
deceive unsuspecting persons, or to
create the impression that drawing can

Work done with the pantograph may
be accurate and attractive, but IL Is

tific methods as he was before he paid
his money under the impression that

FACTS ABOUT FLOUR.

From the New York Herald.
Much trouble in cooking arises from
the difference in various brands OF
-four. There are often, indeed, varia-
tons in the same brand. All are caused
by the different modes of making flour
and changes in the kind of wheat used.
When flour is made by the roller pro-
cess two cupfuls will make much
sitter batter than -four made by the
old process of grinding between stones
or produced by first crushing by roll
ers, then grinding between stones.
Millers all over the country are always
looking for, and frequently making,
improvements in the process which
they are accustomed to follow. This
necessarily results in changes in the
texture and quality of their produces.
Then, too, it makes difference wheth-
err the wheat used is spring or winter
wheat. In the eastern states, where
the mills are few, the flour comes
largely from Minnesota and the other
western states. The flour has for the
last fifteen Or twenty years been made
almost wholly by the roller process,
tinguishing quality of this flour is this:
If rubbed between the fingers it feels
rough and granular, and if pressed in
the hand it will not hold its shape, but
fall apart as granulated sugar would.
When using this flour by measure al
low one-eighth more wetting than for
hoar made by grinding between
stones
Recently number Of millers have
modified the new process by using the
rollers for cleansing, separating and
grinding until the last stages of the
work, when the -four is put between
stones and ground smooth and fine.
When this is done the distinguishing
features between the old and new pro-
cesses are lost. The -four is smooth 20
the touch, will keep it's shape if pressed
in the hand and will not absorb as
much moisture as the more granular
kind. 1t can be used equally well for
bread, cake and pastry. Some of the
mills in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Michigan make this -four in perfec-
ton.
Flour that is made of new spring
wheat viii not give so good bread when
first made as it will after it has been
kept for month or more. A great
deal of the trouble with bread comes
from the condition of the -four. A bar
rel of -four that will not make good
bread to-day, simply because the wheat
was too new when ground. will, if kept
for two months, make perfect bread, if
the yeast be good; for, after all, the
yeast is more frequently than the -four
the cause of failure to make satisfac-
tory bread.
When one buys -four in small quanti
ties there will always be an uncertain
ty as to how it will work until after
the first time it is used. Even in small
families it is better TO get -four by the
barrel, Is it improves with age. An
other thing for the housekeeper TO re-
ember is that the whitest -four is not
the most nutritious What is called
first quality flour does not contain
nearly so large a quantity of the best
elements of the wheat as the second
quality, which is much darker, but
gives sweeter but more nutritious
loaf.

The Heirs In the Cold.

Frau Wagner has recently raised a
nice legal point" and the coming
months will see some interesting law
suits. Before 1870 Wagner had habit
of selling the acting rights of his opera :
for lump sum when he was short Of
money, and these rights, according to
the law as il then stood. would extend
till ten years after his death. The law
was changed in 1870 and the period in
creased TO twenty years, so that dead
musicians families might longer enjoy
the profit Of the composers fame. Only
in the case of Wagner's ii was not the
heirs" but the assigns" who proflted
Frau Wagner therefore proposes to
find out whether managers who paid
for ten can claim twenty years of free
dom from royalty.

tains over $500 linotypes daily. They
are made in the office every night and
are destroyed and melted over the fol-
lowing day and constructed into new
lines at night, which gives the Eagle
the appearance of being printed by
new and clear type. The Eagle man
agement keep an equal pace with every
