WARM FEET.
They Are Essential to Hcalth-PrOper
Covering for the Feet.

They Are Essential to Hcalth-PrOper
Covering for The Feet.
From the Vocalist.
You will never be in good health and never
do your best work IL your feet are constant
ly cold. Grave diseases of the throat and
lungs are caused by cold feet alone, and
these troubles are always aggravated by
frisid condition of the lower extremities. If
proper footwear does not give relief, consult
a physician, for the chances are the system
is run down." and radical measures are
necessary. In nine cases out of ten, how
eyer, the foot covering is to blame, either
because of its shape or Its material. Save in
warm weather and for low-cut shoes,
leather, as ordinarily prepared, has serious
objections. 1t lacks two prime qualities
porosity and capacity for abscrption-being
in this respect too much like rubber. No
foot can remain either comfortable or
healthy If kept in a perpetual bath Of its
own efnahatiohs and excretions. Leather,
especially that of the more porous 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 in all climates where there is any VIM
ter, footsear made from a1l-wool felt ap-
proaci1es the ideal. According to modern
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. il the nerves of
the whole body are irritated by tight shoe,
or the extreme coldness OF the eXtremities
makes extra demand upon the blood supply.
there is neither nerve force nor blood enough
left for other functions.

never seen again. Within It's walls live the
ex-Sultan Murad V, whom the Young Tur-
key or constitutional party would set upon
the throne; and tho white-faced son of
Abdul Aziz and his ravishing Circassian.
These know we'll that the moment Abdul
Hamid feels himself on the eve Of deposf-
ton will be their last. They are cut off en-
tirely from the outside world, and never q
door opens behind them but they expect
to hear the horrible inarticuIate yelp Of
'bowstring in hand. Within the whited
sepulcher of Yildiz, at the end of this nine
teenth Christian century, deeds are daily
done of which one dare hardly think, be-
side which Sodom and Gomofrah were re-
spectacle communities.
Yet Abdul Hamid II seems to sit firmly
on his throne secure in the jealoesies Of
the great powers, unable to agree upon the
division of his kingdom. One Of them will
do nothing to Introduce stability or furth
autonomy into the Balkan peninsula, pre-
ferring to wait till the ripe and rotten fruit
shall drop into her lap, and the hands of
the others are thereby paralyzed. And II
the sultan loses heart for a moment in the
desperate game he is playing, he can find
fresh courage by thinking, as Prof Gros-
venor In his great book has recently re-
minded us, that the British embassy stands
upon land presented to England in graft
tude for help against France In 1901; that
the site of the French embassy was given
TO France in thankfulness for aid against
England In 1907; that the shaft among the
expresses in the cemetery at Scutari com
memorates English and French SUPPORT
against Russia In 1857, and that another
column on the BosphorHs tells how Russia
saved Mahu1oud II his empire IN 1893.
You think us weak" said Turkish
statesman recently to a foreign ambassa-
dor, "but IN truth We are very strong, for
our strength is rooted in your divisions. :

But all this affords no clue to the mystery.
Here is an Asiatic, first debauchee and
later a religious fanatic; who has hardly

and France, and Is now without a supporter

From the Century.
The recent Antarctic expedition "e~
commercial one, and commercially 1t was a
failure. because we did not find the right
whale SO valuable for its whalebone. The
Antarctic was fitted out for the hunt OF
that peculiar kind Of whale; nevertheless,
/ have no doubt that the commercial result
of the expedidition would have been much
be tier had we worked under more favor

would seem incredible that man OF Sir
James Ross standing, supported as he
was by able scientists and experienced
whalers should have made a grave error
when he said that this valuable whale wes
to be found in large numbers In those iati-
tudes.
The difference in the appearance of the
blue whale as we found 1t there. and the
right whale In the method OF Spoutine Is
SO striking that even the most casual OBJ
ser - - d rot easily be deceived. Very
possibly, had we penetrated further INTO
the large, open bay discovered by Ross In
the vicinity of the volcano peaks Erebus
and Terror, we, too, would have found the
right whale in great numbers. We saw
many blue whales but had not the appli-
ances to take them.
AS I remarked at the international geo
graphical congress, We found few seals.
They increased, however. in number as
we worked eastward. and seemed afraid
of the land. All of the seals that We met
on the shore showed much uneasiness and
speedily made for the water, fact which
strengthened my belief in the existence OF
q large enemy of the seal on the continent.
1 do not doubt that the seals congregate
together In larger numbers at some places
on the bay.

LATE SUPPERs.
1t II Better to Eat Moderately Before
Going to Bed.


From the CanadS Lancet.
The old tradition that to eat anything just
before going to bed is sure to produce fnti-
gestien and render sleep impossible is now
happily exploded. 1t is not good as a mat
ter OF fact, to go to bed with the stomach so
loaded that the undigested food will render
one restless, but something of a light, palat-
able nature in the stomach is one of the
best aids to quietude and rest Some phys.-
Clans have declared, indeed, that a good
deal of the prevalent insomnia is the result
Of an Unconscious. craving of the stomach
for food in persons who have been unduly
frightened by the opinion that they must
not eat before going to bed, or who have,
like many nervous women, been keeping
themselves i'm a state of semi-starvation.
Nothing is more agreeable on retiring for the
night than to take bowl of hot broth, like
oatmeal cruel or clam soup. 1t is positive
aid to nervous people, and induces peaceful
slumbers This Is especially the case on cold
winter nights, when the stomach Graves
warmth as much any other part of the
body. Even a glass of hot milk is grateful
to the palate on such occasions, but Hight,
well-cooked Cruel is better, and in our cii-
mate, during the cold months of winter,
should be the retiring food of every woman
who feels the need Of food at night.

They Got Even With Him.

Our Vienna correspondent telegraphs: A
remarkable incident took place ON Sunday
in one of the elegant restaurants here. A
few evenings ago a workman who entered
the restaurant and ordered a glass of beer
was refused the same, first by a waiter and
then by the landlord himself. A group of
gentlemen seated at a table near hereupon
dered the beer for him. The landlord then
insulted the whole group, and a regular
scandal followed. On Sunday afternoon 200
workmen entered the restaurant in small
groups. and though they ordered only one
glass of beer each, they stayed until night,
occupying every seat and every table. so
that no one else could get place. Before
they left they sang the Song of Work in
chorus. The proprietor of the restaurant.
to whom this was lost Sunday, has since
lyeen to the weTkmen's paper, and declared
that he was ready to give any kind OF
satisfaction to the aggrieved workman.

Rattlesnakes HIS Comrades.

Early I'm the summer a strange-looking
craft that had much the appearance of a
large dry goods box fioated under the
Atehison bridge and down the river, until
anchor was finally cast tust beneath the
almost Inaccessible bluffs near Oak Mills.
The sole occupant was Henry Shupe. THE
Rattlesnake King Of the Rockies" All
through the summer he lived there, engag-
ed in no other business than that of catch
ing snakes and manufacturing snake oil, "
which, according to his statement, is a
dead-sure cure for snake-bite and ''rumat-
ics.' He claims to be able to charm any
snake from its den, but declined to give an
exhibition of his wonderful power. fester-
day he pulled up anchor and started down
the Missouri river on a journey which will
not END until he reaches New Orleans. One
half of his houseboat was literally den of
snakes. They were of all kinds and sizes.
On pennant floating from the PROV of the
boat were embiazoned these words: The
