PREVENTIVE AGAINST COLDS.

Gsrnnan's Novel Method of Keeping the
Feet Warm In Cold Weather.
Warm feet during wet. wea ther are
the best preventive against so-caliedi
"colds" and their often dangerous CON-
sequences. Rubber shoes and cork soIes'
have been pretty generally used to avoid
getting cold and wet feet, but new and
very curious means to warm the feet
has recently been patented by Paul
Wonneberger, of Gruna, near Dresden,
says the Philadelphia Record. He calls
his invention ''heatable shoes Within;
the heel of the shoe, which is followed
out, there is q receptacle for glowing
substance, similar to that used in the,
Japanese hand-warmers. Between the
soles, imbedded in asbestos covers, there
is a rubber bag, which is filled with wa
ter. Tho water is heated above the
heel, and as it circulates while tho
wearor Of the shoe is walking it keeps
the entire neither surface Of the foot
warm. A small safety valve is provided,
and the bag cannot burst. The warmth
given by this sole never rises above
70 degrees Fahrenheit, and Will last for
outeight hours. The shoes are little
heavier than ordinary ones, and the
sole is but slightly thicker than that of
the so-called wet weather boot.

Photography and Ducks,


Photography is killing more ducks
than are hunters is an alarming claim
made by an enthusiastic sportsman,
who goes on to explain that the uni
versal practice of photography is Great
ing an immense demand for an al
bumen in finishing the pictures, and
that this albumen can be produced only
from eggs. The eggs from the ordinary
domestic hen are too valuable for food
to be sacrificed to art, and as con-
sequence the breeding grounds of wild
birds are CLEANED for the desired fluid.
The Hebrides islands Of Scotland,
Lofoden of Norway, Labrador, Green
land, South America and all other ex-
tensive haunts of large birds are
robbed constantly by the natives or
man from sailing expeditions, and the
result is especially hard on the ducks.
Labrador is q particularly unfortunate
land in this connection, for the miles
Of crowded nests offer an irresistible
temptation TO the egg hunters.

OF. the narrowing scene that would take
place when the carpet bag was opened
When Silas arrived at the depot, in
stead Of going to the hotel, he sat down
in the smoking room and waited. His
mission was similar to- that of the con-
fidence man. He was in quest of g
stranger who would cultivate his ac
quaintance only to rob him Of his hor-
nets and regret it to his dying day. &c
.casionally Farmer Tatman would lo,,k
down at his carpet bag. As he did Y,
he shook with glee.
The Bunl<um farmer had not been
seated five minutes when he was app
proache by a fellow with a sharp, IN
.quisitive nose and q checked suit.

stranger extended his hand, I've got

When Silas came to town Saturday
he came with the avowed intention Of
:revenging himself on {; smooth-spoken
young man who had met him on 4
former visit and had relieved him Of Il
carpet sack containing the visitors
money and return ticket. He did not
expect to encounter the same fellow,
but made up his mind to administer to
the first man who claimed to know him
the warmest reception the scoundrel
had ever met with.
Tatman came from Bunkum. Bunk
UNI is not on the map, and one could go
to the place with repeating rifle AMI
shoot all the inhabitants without re-
loading. But, small as it is, it can boast
of citizen who outwitted four of the
.cleverest ''con' men in Chicago.
Bunkum is also renowned for it's
large hornets nests and the warliEe
and "grouchy" disposition of their oc-
cupants. In Tatman's hog lot hung one
of these nests from the limb of a locus:
tree. It was a gigantic specimen and
the terror of the neighborhood.
The morning before Slas left for
Chicago he went into the hog lot very
early, before the hornets were astir. He
took with him an old green carpet bag
and this he opened and slipped careful
ly around the oblong nest, closing the
clasp quickly without losing a hornet.
When he took the train later in the day
he smiled with delight when he thought

who tried to get Tatman to play cards,
"just for fun"
Another one of the men wore white
vest and a polka dot necktie He did all
the talking, and after Cunningham had
whispered a few words in the fellows
ears he could hardly keep his eyes off
the carpetbag. He was introduced to
Tatman as Thomas w. Bloomfield, the
board Of trade man.
1T seems, Mr.. Tatman,' said Bloom
field, 'that you are very careless with
your money. Mr.. Cunningham tells me
that you carry it in your satchel."
"You bet have got lot of money in
that ere cid carpetbag. I was Kinder

through carelessness. But OF course

.'No risk whatever said Bloomfield.
'Why, | tell you, Mr.. Tatman, good
spectator can pick money off the trees

BIoom1ield's expression tic!:led Tat
man. He laughed uproariously and
then said:
you can pick it off the trees in Bun
lsu1n, too, but you can't keep it long,
cause it circulates too dern fast
By this time the men were growing
impa tent, and Tatman noticed chat
they looked more frequently ard LONGER

time to take his revenge, so he said:

the men expected. BY a clever dodge

to silently turn the bolt in the lock,
after which he slipped into the adj
joining room. He did not wait long
before he heard one Of the men say:
We'll, that was the easiest snap I
ever saw" Silas recognized the voice
as that of Cunningham. Then Bloom
field answered:
Easy! Why, you could rob that
fool before his eyes and he wouldn't
know it. Hand up the granger's grip
sack"
Tatman heard the sound of the grip
sack striking the top of the table. Then
he heard them prying at the lock. Pres
entity he heard the clasps give, and in
another instant a piercing ye]p rent the
air. Whack! Crash! Bang! The
chairs were upturned and the table was

seized the opportunity to slip out of the
saloon, and as he was passing into The
street he heard the door crash in as
one of the men on the inside dealt s.

he saw a stream of hornets sail after
the bartender.
Twenty minutes later, fron, his re-
treat in the alley across the street, Tat
man saw his five friends limp:ng GU! of

''To be sure; Bunkum. And your

'.Why, Of course. How are you, Mr..

''Tolerable," and Tatman looked
down at his hornets and chuckled.

walked along.

THE ARK.BORN MAN.
which of Noah's Descendants Firss sav
the Light in the Ark

Which Of Noah's Descendants First sav
the Light in the Ark
Hundreds Of ancient cleaners Of mis-,
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give us to understand that
Cush was born on the ark, says the St.
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was child born on the sacred
vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one
Of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that
no person should leave the ark who
had not gone on board in the regulation
manner. The weight Of the evidence
as it is given by the Talmudic writer's
is to the effect that Cush is the person
referred to by the old-time mystery
cleaners when they speak Of the lark:
born" man. The sacred books, as well
Bs the scores of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, ETC., are;
silent on the subject. In q reprint of
one OF the rare old Saxon Chronicles
Il found clew to the mystery, and an
other slight hint in an explanatory note
in Herbert's ''Nimrod." In the Saxon
Chronicles" the following occurs:
"Bedwig was the son or Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herbert's note in
"Nimrod," colume ii, page 81, says
"Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark, his posterity were, in
q peculiar sense, descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no d.
rect references to the fact of Cush be-
ing actually born in the ark, hespeaks
OF him in several places as ''Cush, the
ark-born." The<Talmudic writer's dis;
credit the Bedwig story, but declare
that Cush was born on the day that,
