Chlldron's Corns.

A chiropodist says that nervous chill

oftentimes because such clinch the fln-

are almost apt to draw up the toes at

toes, and finally irritates the tender
surface at the joints. He emphasizes
again that it is not broad shoes so
much as long shoes that should be
worn by growing children, and asserts
that the pointed toe shoe, against
which such catalogue Of indictments
has been brought, is by no means such
unhygienic wear as others more COM
mended.

Among the newest imported models

Lace, Jewels, velvet roses and tulle
are seen on dress toques, and It is said
that piece velvets and molres will be
in vogue before the winter sets in.
A variety Of French felt hats, hav-

decidedly narrower than those of last

signs is promised. One Of the hand
soonest patterns has center In solid

popular in plain, plaid and figured de-
signs, and at least six rosettes are used
on larger shapes.
The very latest boudolr arrange

may then view her back hair without
calling the assistance Of an awkward
husband or an ignorant maid.

The Rope FIonds.

In New York the wheelmen are an
noyed by the tack, glass and nail fiend,
but Philadelphia cyclists can go us one
better, for they have the rope flend.
This annoyance is largely the work Of
boys and consists Of stretching a cord
across roadway and sufficiently high
to catch passing wheelmen at the
hat line, the object being to take off
his hat, but more frequently the OBJ
struction catches passing wheelmen
under the chin. and when 1t does not
dismount them causes severe shock.

Ksnn Ynnr Own Coun.el.


You can never be too careful in the
condolences which you make about your
home life to your familiar friend. You
may love her, she may love you, but
after all there is no tie so strong as
that Of blood, and the day will come
when you will regret having underrat-
ed any one of your own kin. It is good
for a girl to have a girl friend and to
share her pleasures, her interests IN
books or pictures even her opinion OF
her dainty clothes; but she should re-
member to forget the unpleasant hap
penings in her own home, and not even
whisper them to her close companion
who, while she may love her, may not
be able to control her tongue.
Enjoy your friend then, but have 1t
understood between you that home al
fairs are not to be discussed. and that
each Of you is to try to get the bet
ter Of the tendency to gossip-monger-
Ing that is one of the worst traits any
character can cherish. Many are the
instances of stories that have been re-
peated, at first with no malice, that
have grown and grown and caused the
bitterest remarks to those responsible
for their first circulation. Make up
your mind in the very beginning OF
your friendship that, even to your dear
est friend, nothing except that which
is pleasant shall be said about your re-
spectiVe homes or their inmates.

ing him. Presently the boy made this
remark to his mother;
Mamma, I guess the mosquito is
asking a blessing before he beginS to
eat"
This reminds the editor OF the Chil-
dren's Page of an adventure which a
little girl friend CT hts had once upon
a time with a mosquito. Her mother
found her in the garden looking rue
fully at a mosquito which was percaed
on her arm and saying: |

rress That whI.tIe.

The musical whistllng tree is found
in the West Indian islands, in Nubia
and the Soudan. 1t has a peculiar
shaped leaf, and pods with split or
open edge. The wind passing through
these sends out the sound which gives
the tree its peculiar name. In Bar
BADGES there is valley filed with
these trees, and when the trade winds
blow across the islands constant
moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard
from 1t, which in the still hours of the
night has very weird and unpleasant
effect.

coast would ever be to the fore making a
strong bid for public appreciation.

regatta was held at Ell Campo under the
auspices of the South End Club. 1t was
the first regatta of any note held on the
bay for almost decade and was pro-
nounced success.
AT the time the club gave the regatta it
was in debt and raised $500 by popular
subscription to carry the affair through,
but had 1t proved a failure the South End
Boat Club would have been thing of the
past and its boathouse and boats sacrificed
to pay the expense Incurred.
But with such energetic members as
Johnny Herget, Billy Ackerson, Alfred
Fritz and William f. Humphreys, presl-
dent of the P. A. A, in the club, success
is assured.
1t was mainly through the South Ends
endeavors that the Olympic Club became
interested In boating.
1T has been noticed that when
regatta is held here the South Ends ar.
always represented, fact which cannot
be said OF the other clubs, and invariably
the South Ends carry off the honors of the
day, for defeat means disgrace to them,
win or die'' being the motto of the club.
The oarsmen OF the club who are to rep
resent California in the Northwest and
East are practicing daily and say as far as
the rowing end of the affair is concerned
that they will do their best to uphold it.
On the Sunday subsequent to the first
Tuesday of every month the club will hold
a regatta. A sum of money will be put up,
which, together with the entrance fee paid
by each oarsman, will be expended in the
purchase of suitable prizes.
The Ariels and Dolphins are working
hard to advance the interest OF the sport.
The Ariels will begin next Sunday with
their system of try-out races, as already
published, and the Dolphins have two ex-
cellent crews in training for the coming
El Campo and Stockton regattas.
W. A. McGrill is organizing four-oared
crew over at ElmhurSt, Alameda County.
AT present the boys take their practice IN
p large skiff. going two and half miles
down the bay to row.
When the Elmhurst Athletic Club is
organized they will join the Pacific
Athletic Association and row in all re-
gattas. The members of the crew will
probably be: Jess Swalley, stroke; Billy
Barks, afterwaist; William Carter, ior-

ton to purchase a racing barge as soon as

Judging from the long spells of dry
weather that have been experienced this
winter, it would be somewhat hazardous
to predict what the first week or two of the
season will bring.
According to the predictions Of some of
the old weather prognosticators, who pro-

have heavy rains in April.

the season regardless of wind or weather
conditions.
According to reports recently cleaned

those who avail of The opportunity of

fortunately there are greater pleasures in
angling than the killing of fish, otherwise
it would be far cheaper and less laborious
to tramp to the nearest market and catch
your fish with silver hooks.
True anglers never grow tired OF the pas
time, and generally speaking they delight
in reading any instructive and entertain

quiet pastime.
Those who have read Dean Swift's book
on salmon fishing can readily understand
the underlying current of sentiment that
stirs the anglers soul when there is a ref

rivers.
Somehow there seems to be free
