examples as attested by every French
writer inclusively since the 18th CEN
fury. Although this dictionary has in
fact only reached the letter A, IL has
been published in an enormous quarto
volume. 1t will never be completed.
The academy decided, some II years
ago, to abandon the work. There is,
however, besides the Historical Die
tionary, Dictionary of Usage"
wherein are given only the words with
their different acceptations and short
and decisive examples of ordinary use.
From 1894 to 1878, seven editions of this
work have been published, each radi-
cally differing from the others. Be
sides the dictionary the academy has
another great work: namely, the
awards. Previous to 1850 there were
only two prizes for annual distribution.
But since that period various legacies
and donations have provided an an
nual sum of 100000 francs for awards,
the priX de vertu and the literary
prizes. The prizes for literature are
awarded in special competitions for
prose and poetry, and also for works
of literature, history, and criticism
which are of recent date. Each year
sees not less than 500 manuscripts in
verse or prose and some 300 printed
works presented before the French
academy. These works are distributed
among committees composed of four
academicians, who submit them to a
personal examination at home, follow
ed by a discussion in committee. De-
cisions are adopted or rejected by the
full academy.-M. Henry Houssaye in
the February Forum.

Concentrated Fuel,
From the Cincinnati Price Current.

From the Cincinnati Price Current.
A French naval engineer named
d'Humy has invented a pressed oilcake
for use as fuel on ocean steamers. 1t
is not affected by temperature, is
smokeless and odorless. cannot evapor-
ate or cause explosions and burns only
on the surface, giving out intense heat
and leaving only from two to three per
cent. of ash. a ton of this fuel is equal
TO 30 tons of coal and costs between s.
and So If the half of this story is
true, and NJ. d'Humy really has got a
substitute for coal which is less dirty,
bulky and costly. while equally safe
and powerful, he has opened the way
TO all sorts of marine possibilities. But
discoveries of this kind have been made
on paper a good many times before,
and il will be well to await results be-
fore growing enthusiastic.

WARM FEET.

They Are Essential to Health and Com
fort and DemIud Trooper Covering.
From the Vocalist.
You will never be in good health and
never do your best work if your feet
are constantly cold. Grave diseases of
the throat and lungs are caused by cold
feet alone, and these troubles are al
ways aggravated by a frigid condition
of the lower eXtremities. If proper foot
wear does not give relief, consult a
physician. for the chances are the sys-
tenn is run down." and radical meas
ures are necessary. In nine cases out
of ten, however, the foot covering is TO
blame, either because of it's shape or its
material Save in warm weather and
for lOw-cut shoes, leather, as ordinari-
ly prepared, has serious objections. 1t
lacks two prime qualities-porosity and
capacity for absorption-being in this
respect too much like rubber. No foot
can remain either comfortable or
healthy If kept in a perpetual ba tn Of
It's own carnations and eXecretions
Leather, especially that of the most po-
rous varieties, may be tolerated for the
outside, but for cold weather it should
always be lined with wooden cloth, or,
better, with wool felt In fact, for all
cold climates, and for winter wear i'm
all climates where there is any winter,
a fOotgcar made from all-wool felt APP
proaches the ideal According to mod
ern notions, any illness in one part of
the body may be occasioned by some
irritating cause far removed from the
seat of the trouble. Just how this is
cannot always be clearly explained, but
that such connection does sometimes
exist is beyond dispute. In the matter
under discussion, if the nerves of the
whole body are irritated by a tight
shoe, or the extreme GOODNESS of the
eXtremities makes extra demand upon
the blood supply, there is neither nerve
force nor blood enough left for other
functions.

There was an old score to wipe out.

Consequently she smiled very pleas

"Oh, yes" replied her social anSag-

Tho stage From Clergyman. Standpoint

I believe that II pastor OF a fash
ionable church were to denounce any
particular play as positively immoral,
ii would very soon disappear from the
stage. A very large percentage of the
ordinary playgoers are communicates
of the churches, and a well-considered
condemnation of play would certain
ly injure its popularity. Christian
people" would not think II "respecta-
BILE" to sit through a play which had
been condemned by their spiritual pas
tors. All that is needed is little more
ministerial courage with regard to the
stage. and IL will very soon be seen
that the pulpit really possesses more
power in this direction than IT ever had
in the history Of the modern drama.
One thing is certain. If the stage is
left to it's own devices II will become
a fruitful source of injury to the moral
well-being of the nation.-Rev. Thomas
p. Hughes, in the February Forum.
