When q new pair of shoes is brought
home, never place them higher than your
head II you would have good luck while
wearing them, and never blacken them be-
fore you have had on both shoes, or else
you may meet with an accident and per-
haps sudden death.
1t is said that the old maids believe that
when their shoes become united and keep
coming united, 1t is true that their sweet
hearts are talking and thinking about
them.
The sweetheart, when on his way to see
his lady love, should he stub his right toe,
will surely be welcome, but II he stubs his
left toe, he may know he is not wanted.--

 The Russian newspapers are publish ing budget of news regarding the pres ent appearance habits and family life of Count Leo Tolstoi. The famous phi losopher, they say, has grown old rapid ly in face and figure ill the last two years His hair is snow white, his beard is thinning, and the resolute lines around his mouth are relaxing.
 Nevertheless Tolstoi is regarded by his neighbors as wonderfully energetic man of 67. He is busy the whole day. His hours in his study are long, and he seeks relief from them only ill active physical exercise such as most men would regard work. All the morning he devotes to writing. which he M able to do with the swiftness and precision of his earlier days. He has just finished & whose nature and plan he keeps careful ly secret from his family. It is surmised that he has forsaken temporarily the way of the philosopher and moralist and has taken again the pen of the novelist. Many of his family friends predict the coming of another "Anna Karenina.
 One of Tolstoi' s most popular diver sions just now is chopping trees. Every afternoon, rain or sun, he goes to the wood ax in hand to cut through big trunk and strip it ready for the saws of his men. He has also fondness for bl- cycling, for in his sixty seventh year he has bought wheel and learned to ride it, to the great astonishment of the peas ants on his estate. His daughters wor- ried so much over his wheeling trips that they eventually decided to take to wheels themselves so as to accompany him and care for him. They now go with him on all his excursions
 Even in his late years Tolstoi has not ceased simplifying his manner of life. He has banished servants from his dln- ing room at mealtilnes At the table ev- erybody helps himself, and, as the dishes are to be brought from the kitchen. his two daughters take turns in playing waitress. Vegetarianism is the rule at the table. For himself Tolstoi never. permits an exception, although the other members of the family occasionally eas fish or fowl. Milk and butter have been forbiddex in the house for the last six months. The usual menu for dinner is mushroom soup, vegetable croquettes, preserved fruit, baked potatoes and boil ed beets. There is no dessert or coffee.
 The Libau Gazette adds to these de- tails:
 "Count Leo Tolstoi has finished 2 novel which is as yet unnamed. He read it recently in Moscow to small circle of friends, who received itw with unusual signs of favor. The plot begins in court.

There is big four (physically) in the Republican national committee. It is made up of Mr Manley of Maine. MT. Fessenden of Connecticut, Mir. Campbell of Illinois and General Clark son of Iowa. Together they weigh 1, 200 pounds, Mir. Campbell and MT. Fessen- den leading somewhat over MT. Manley and General Clarkson. There is noth- ing on this earth in the shape of good things to eat and drink that they have not enjoyed. Yet they are considered hardworking meu in their profession.

Their Engagement to Marry Announced
 on Good Authority.
 On good authority it is announced that an engagement of marriage has been made between William Waldorf Astor and Lady Randolph Churchill It is said the wedding will in all probability be 8 quiet affair and will be celebrated in London next autumn. A report that these eminent representatives of Amer ican society abroad would come to New York to be married is denied by an in- innate friend of the Astor family. This gentleman said
 "William Waldorf Astor has given up all idea of ever again making his home in America He dislikes this country and has few ties to bring him here. Of his reported engagement with Lady Churchill can only say that Mir. Astor has kept his own counsel, and if he con- templates marriage he has told no one here. He does admire Lady Churchill very much, and should they marry it would increase the popularity of the American colony in London. /"
 A gentleman who met the son of Lady Churchill ill Europe two years ago. and who entertained the young man few weeks ago upon his return from Cuba, says young Churchill declared to him that there was probability of his moth CT remarrying, but he did not mention the name of Mr. Astor in this connec- tion.

 Professor M. R. Snyder, superintend- ent of public schools at Muncie. Ind. finds himself ill the unenviable position of arbitrator of a peculiar trouble be- tween the teachers and the parents of the school children.
 It is q custom for the various classes to hold Christmas exercises each year just before the holidays. This year, ju : after the exercises closed, the teachers in the lower grades informed the children that their contemplating papas and man. mas had been imposing on them by mak- ing them believe there is Santa Claus, whereas he is only mythical creation.
 The children went home with aching hearts and with tears in their eyes, feel ing that Christmas had lost it's charm for them. A few were so gloomy and Respondent they refused to have any thing to do with their presents.
 The parents arose ill their indignation in body. They went to Superintendent Snyder and after explaining the situa- tion to him demanded that the "heart- less" pedagogues be dismissed. The su- perintendent is perplexed as to what to do.
