ft Actually Lifts the Feet and Saves
the Wearer from Fatigue.
A spring heel attachment for shoes
to aid In walking is one Of the latest
devices for the comfort Of pedestrians.
With this attachment the effort of lift
ing ones foot Is practically reduced to
a minimum. The spring actually lifts
the foot, and the pedestrian does the
rest.
This curious device Is nothing but
q stin strip of steel about an inch in
width and some three inches long. 1t is
first bent double and one end turned
upward over the other end, so as to fit
1t closely to the edge Of the heel Of the
shoe.
The spring is screwed to the heel of
any ordinary shoe, and once In place it
gives a "spring" to the step. which is

ural action Of the muscles Of the foot,
which are familiar to everybody who

spring close to the heel, and as the step
is taken and the foot partially raised

THIS SIMPLE STORY


ReAects Credit ON Asaeriean Courage

There Is . good story told Of John
Hays Hammond, the American, who
was implicated In the famous Trans
vaal conspiracy, writes Richard Hard

ing his imprisonment, and in conse-
quence was permitted to 60 to the Caps
for his health under q heavy bail. He
was at that time under sentence Of
fifteen years imprisonment, and the
bail was not 80 heavy Us the Rne he had
still to pay. which amounts to SITS. 900.
He did not give his parole to return
to Jail. and his failing to have done %
would have meant nothing more than
the forfeiture Of his bail. the amount
Of which he could very well have at
forded to have paid. And when he
had once crossed the border Of the
Transvaal every man he met was his
friend. He could on reaching the Cape
have stepped upon the first outbound
steamer and shaken the dust Of the
Transvaal from him forever.
THAT IL the last you will see Of Jack
Hammond" some one said to Kruger.
Il think not" the President answered,
"and even II Mr.. Hammond would
wish to escape, know Mrs. Hammond,
and she Is too fine a woman to let him
think Of It." Two days before his
leave had expired Hammond came
back to Pretoria and knocked at mid
night at the door Of the Jail for admit

meant fifteen years Of his life in pris-
on, and the jailers were so amazed to
see his face through the wicket that

A remarkably clever woman, the
wife Of German writer, was con.
stantly urged by her friends and adj
mirers to write. but smile was her
usual reply. She thoroughly appre-
ciated her husbands genius and sue
cess, but one day, when asked why
she "waSted" so much time knitting,
instead OF finding some occupation
more suited for her brilliant talent,
she replied placidly: ~ have never
heard that there are too many stock
ings In the world, but l have often
heard it said that there are too many
books. So 1t seems to me ii IS more
praiseworthy for me to knit "A stock
ing than to write book" That her
decision was wise one facts seem to
prove; even eminent authors cannot
always dispose of their work. Thoreau
was once able to boast that he had on
his shelves library of several hun
dred volumes, the greater part of
which he had written himself. HIS
publishers could not dispose Of the
first edition OF his first book, and
thinking IL useless to keep the vol
umes longer, had them sent To their
author. James Russell Lowell was
rather more fortunate. He brought
out his first volumes of poems at his
own riSk-a modest edition OF 500
copies. Small AS the edition was,
however, it was not small enough, and
the young poet was in danger of heavy
loss; but fate was kinder than the
''reading public His pub
lisher's warehouse took fire, the books
were burned, and they were fully in
surcd! Not only had the poet lost
nothing, but he could boast with truth
that the first edition OF his book was
exhausted He had sold it TO the in
surance company.

Its influence on the mind is no un-
important part OF its usefulness. 1t

Cycling" on the contrary, is at

he used to come to his play. 1t is
equally adapted to gentlemen and
Iadies-a point very much in its favor,
since women are largely shut out from
more vigorous sports, while walking

AS for carriage-riding, il is too pas

London Lancet says:
"The use of the cycle is form of

to the mischievOus effects of undo in

something with it, and considerations
Of weather, constitution, age and

summary imprudence.
'One fruitful source OF injury is
competition. In this matter not even
the strongest rider can afford TO
ignore his limit Of endurance. The
record breaker who sinks exhausted
at his journeys end has gone a point
beyond this. The septuagenarian,
who tries to rival his juniors by doing
and repeating his twenty or thirty
miles, perhaps against time, is even
less wise.
Lady cyclists, too, may bear in
mind that their sex is somewhat the
weaker. So, likewise, among men
the power of endurance varies greatly,
and it is better for some to admit this
and be moderate than to labor after
the achievements of far more muscn-
lar neighbors.
sin short, whenever prostration
beyond mere fatigue follows the ex-
ercise, or when digestion suffers and
weight is markedly lessened, and a
pastime becomes an anxious labor, we
may be sure that it is being over
done."--Youth's Companion.
