Some New De signs for an Always
Acceptable Gift
Travellers Can Use It, yoyagers Need 1t,
Yachtsmcn Must Have 1t, and Home

to Put 1t.

1t is quite the fashion to present
gifts which are especially useful to the
recipient in his or her favorite sport
or accomplishment A tennis player
is given a handsome racket and cover;
golf player, set of sticks; an artist,
some one Of his many tools; yachts
man. a set of pillows or cushions; q
musician, something for the music
room, and SO on, whatever is appro-
PIRATE and particularly useful.
The pillow seems an almost univer-
sad gift. 1t fits in everyone's situation,
whatever It be. A traveller can use It;
a voyager needs 1t, yachtsman must
have It, a home-stayer has a dozen
places to put it, and the covering and
size distinguish It's specific use.
For yachting friend, sailcloth or
denim is appropriate. The sketches
show some Of each kind. The round one
is made Of white canvas, having ap-
plique figures of blue denim, ON which

When Calling on Acquaintance.

By the way, one should never say
making CALLS" one should call it
paying visits" That seems rather a
misleading phrase, as it might imply
o stay of several days duration. But
1t is good form to say it, nevertheless.
Another dictum of the smart set is that
more than two people should never
pay visits together. If there are, for
instance, three unmarried sisters in
society, or mother has two unmarried
daughters, the three must divide their
forces in some way, but they must not
descend upon q friends drawipg-room

COMFORTABLE PEOPLE.
They Know What to Do and What to Bay
At tho Right Time.

Thcy Know What to Do and What to Bay
At tho Right Time.
1t is often said that 1t takes all sorts
of people to make the world, and Of the
many varieties, to the credit OF human
nature be 1t spoken, not the least nu-
merous Is the comfortable or comfort
making species, says Harper's Bnzar.
These people are to be found every
where, doing their duty in such sweet,
modest fashion that one scarcely an
alyzes the elements which mako up
their attractivcness even while bdsking
in the warm glow OF their kindnesses
and feeling how good and pleasant it
is to live with them.
They are endowed with the rare gift
of knowing what to say and what to do
at the right time and in the right way,
so that they never jar upon ones SEN
sibilities nor give the impression that
they are anxiously on the watch to help,
which latter is often too apt to produce
a feeling Of burdensome Indebtedness.
Indeed, 1T is not always in what COM
Portable people do, it is quito as much
in what they judiciously leave undone
that their peculiar charm consists, and
positive and decided as is their infu-
ence yet 1t may be fully and thoroughly
described by negatives.
They never fret and fume over the in
evitable, they make no arrogant pre-
tensions and naturally therefore they
Indulge in no harsh structures, no un-
gentle criticisms. They are equally
free from that distressing mock mod
esty which practices morbid self-in-
trospection and bestows the results of
tho process on small public too bored
and Indifferent to appreciate the con-
fidences.
They never attitudinize as martyrs,
no matter how great the sacrifices they
make. their self-efracement being SO
genuine that 1t Is truly invisible. They
never stroke one the wrong way, nor do
they indulge in nagging, that annoying
and perhaps most intolerable of the
small foes to the peace of household,
whilo tho disagreeablcness inflicted by
those who do practice the irritating art
is borne with such piacidity that the
sharp tongues are reduced to silence
through very shame.

CARING FOR GLOVES.
To Koep Thom In Good Condition Follow

To Keep Them In Good Condition Follow
the Directions Here Givon.
Always stretch gloves out smooth
and put in box without doubling
when removed from the hands. A nice
addition to the glove box is scented
sachet, giving the gloves delicate
odor when worn.
An error that is commonly made is
that of mending kid gloves with. sew
ing silk, as the silk cuts the kid and
shows the mend more plainly, while
fine cotton thread gives n much more
satisfactory result. If the gloves are
torn, put piece of silk of correspond
ing shade under the torn part, baste
carefully so as not toraveal the stitches
on the right side and then draw up the
rent with cotton thread.
A few good glove cleaners are rec
commended, but it is generally better to
send gloves to one who makes this his
business than to experiment on them,
for, like the mending, it is a trade in
itself. But, whenever you do, take
warning by the fate of nice pair of
driving gloves we once had, and never
try to polish them up with French shoe
T dressing. The way it came about, we
read in one of the papers that an appli-
cation of this liquid would renew the
youth and beauty Of old and badly
soiled kid gloves, and deeming newspa-
per lore to be relied upon, we put it
into effect, but, alas! the result was a
revelation. To be sure, there were no
soiled spots remaining visible, but tho
shine on those gloves made them posi-
lively reflective, and the way they ad-
hered to the reins turned our thoughts
to agricultural fairs and molnsses
candy. In conclusion, we have only to
say: Mend, patch, clean or wash your
gloves, but never try French shoe
dressing. 1t doesn't work.-St. Louis

There are other affections of the feet of
horses which are seen every day on our

the result of disease and troubles that can

usually render a horse permanently un-

amount of work. These have not touched

such defects and diseases as can be over

SOME COMMON EQUINE AILMENTS.
MISS RUSSELL TREATS IN A LUCID WAY MANY OF THE
DISEASES OF THE HOOF

We considered last week some maladies
that affect the ankle joints of horses. To
day we will consider those that attack the
hoofs and feet These are many and,
usually, serious, for the old saying is
true one, mo feet, no horse" A horse
with one lame foot is as useless as one
with no feet at all, and as most of the
troubles with equine feet are insidious in
their beginning. it is well to be able to de-
tect them in their earliest stages, when
they are easiest of remedy. The driver
who is unable to tell when his horse is
going square and true, with each foot
doing its share of work, ought not to be
intrusted with the care of an animal.
This point cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. Some horses "hitch" in their gait
when pushed beyond the rate of speed at
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-10

which they can comfortably travel, but as
a general thing any irregularity of pace
when horse is travelling should cause at
ten ton to be attracted to his feet.
In particular the feet of our San. Fran
cisco horses should be systematically
looked to, for orr pavements are enough
to cause disease in the soundest feet. They
are particularly productive of corns, which,
in horses foot, are not the same thing
that cause so much suffering TO the human
race. The foot of horse is the seat of in
Vulnerable minute blood vessels that, un-
der strain, are very liable to rupture.
When one does this "corn" is the result
and appears as a small, reddish and very
sensitive spot in the sole of the foot and
under the shoe. The horse limps quickly
and sharply under these circumstances,
and the corn should be attended to. A
good many blacksmiths will recommend
bar-shoes as a remedy for this difficulty,
but if the horse-owner is wise and does not
desire to drive an animal with contracted
hoofs ne will shun this device, for it is fu-
tile to cure the corn and is productive of
much mischief.
Bad shoeing, as well as hard driving and
