Care of the Feet.

The skill Of the pedicurc is now called
into requisltion nearly as often as that OF
the manicure. Many persons have their
feet carefully and systematically looked
after and the nails OF their toes as nicely
kept as the nails Of their fingers. The
visiting pedieure is a distinct profession
in the large cities. Unquestionably the
care Of the feet has much to do with their
condition as regards comfort and service.
Tender feet can be somev hat hardened
and rendered less susceptible by bathing
them every morning in tepid, not hot,
water into which teaspoonful of eau dc
cologne has been put. The occasional
parboiling in ain. ost scalding water, which
is still provincial practice for the soften
ing of corns and other excrescences, is
harmful and increases in the end the very
troubles for which it seems a temporary
relief.--New York Times.

The Horse Car Driver.

at must be admitted, " said Mr.. Crate
bar, "that the horse car has certain IA
cility of movement that does not pertain
to the cable or the trolley car-the one
must stick to its cable and the other to its
wire, but the range Of the horse car is de-
termined by the strength of the horses
and the skill of the driver. Whoever has
been on a horse car that was halted by
some obstruction in front-a broken down
truck, another car disabled, or other i'm
pediment-will appreciate this. While the
cable or the trolley car must stay where it
is until the impediment is removed, the
horse Car driver, after waiting what seems
to him reasonable time, hauls out and
strikes across the open country for some
parallel track, or he goes sailing round the
obstruction, humping, bouncing and
swinging over the paving stones until he
pulls in ON the track ahead.
And yet, notwithstanding the advan-
tage which the horse ear possesses in this
respect, the cable and trolley car are sure
ly and rapidly supersediug 1t. The horse
car must go, no doubt about that, but We
shall always hold in friendly and admir-
Ing recollection the skillful driver. New

MARRIED EIGHTY YEARS.
W ouderful Old Couple who Think
Marriage Success.

There is living near Black River Falls,
Wis, probably the Oldest married couple
in the United States. Their name is OAR
win, and they were born in Montreal and
are French. Louis Darwin was born on
Sept. "a, l7SS, and is therefore l07 years
old past. His wife was born March II,
1894, and was l0l her last birthday.
THIS aged couple were married in 1915
and have passed their eightieth ami
versary. They have reared family of
seven sons and five daughters, only five
OF them being alive now. The oldest
daughter has a large family, she being
married when she was eleven years OF age.
They have the fourth generation from
the parent tree. The old gentleman was
one of the iiveliest among the "boys" on
tue river there forty years ago and could
dance all around the young fellows at
that time. He WAS noted for his polite
ness, which AT times WAS somew hat
ridiculous, as was the case when his wife
was very sick. The attending physician,
going to see her, met the husband going
to the city. Good morning, MIR. OAR
win," said he. "How is your wife this
morning?" Politely raising his hat he
said, "She is very much worse, thank
you, DOCTOR"
Tae old couple have been very rugged
and hearty aud have lived in cottage by
themselves for several years, and all this
summer have been able to be about the
farm, but they are both very sick al
present, and there seems little hope oil
their recovery. After fourscore years oil
married lille they are disposed to say that
so far As they are concerned they think
that maria Se Is not failure.

During the season OF 1895, the total
output of lumber from Bangor was IA
900 900 feet. These figures are not quite
up to the average for the preceding ten

while the greatest output for that time
was $4,000 900 in 1889, the average cut
being 156, 600, 900. The outlook for next
season is most encouraging. The lumber
men will cut more this winter than for
