hot sands Of the desert became SO
painful for the bare foot that the
Egyptians had to devise some meth

leaves and similar materials into
squares or cut squares,of wood or
rough leather, fastening them to the
soles of their feet, as the Arabians
fastened protectors to the feet Of
their camels. These were the first
shoes.

the sandal and invented different
forms and shades to be worn by the

After awhile luxury in the matter

The Afternoon Nap.

The frequency with which medical men are asked whether it is harmful tC indulge in the afternoon nap is not, perhaps, surprising for several reasons. Most persons have had experience in the seductive charms of the somnolence which has followed the comfortable in. gestion of a midday or evening meal. The meal finished, the diner arrangeE himself comfortably in an armchair; il may be he lights pipe or cigar, takes uI a newspaper and prepares to make the most of the restful conditions of his mind and body. But nature soon begins to assert her sway. In time the eyelidE close, the head begins to nod, the news. paper falls from the hands, the pipe, nc longer supported in the mouth, fails tC the floor, and the symptoms of a naI are complete. Whether the winks be 40 or 100 in number, the result is the same "a short, sound sleep.
 Then comes the question, Is it harm ful thus to fall asleep after meal? By no means, for the very obvious reason that the process is merely a physiolog- ical one, and as such, when it occurs, is qulGS uabura1. w u6u ulSesCluu 4S III progress, nature has arranged that all the available blood in the body shall be collected in and about the digestive or gans. Consequently the blood supply to the brain falls to low ebb, and thus sleep IS easily induced. On the other hand, of course, physiologically, it is wrong for brain work to be attempted immediately after solid meal. Med ical Press,

Parliamentary Amenities

In Michigan some years ago bill was before the legislature to restore the death penalty for the crime of murder. Three of the ablest members of the house made iong speeches in favor of the bill-so long as to be found weari- some, especially by those who disagreed with the opinions expressed. When the third man had finished, young mem- Der on the other side of the chamber rose and said very sarcasticaily:
 ''Mr. Speaker, rise to a question of privilege"
 ''The gentleman will state his ques- tion of privilege" said the speaker.
 'Mr. Speaker, wish to inquire of our friends of the other side of the house which they think is. preferable-to be hanged or to be talked to death?"
 The question was greeted by applause. Then suddenly some one with very loud voice said:
 "Oh, well, if you're going to talk we prefer to be hanged. "-Youth' s Companion.

Bismarck and Roulanper.

A few years ago statesman of Eu- ropean fame visited Bismarck at Fried richsruh, and the two walked together through the latter's plantation of exotic pines and frs, of which both were col lectors. The visitor improved lapse in the conversation about conifers to bring up the then recent topic of, Boulanger.
 'Did Germany at the time really take him seriously?" he asked. "And what did you yourself think of the mann" The ex-chancellor, apparently in all candor, replied that he knew very little of the subject. "It is true that was in office at the time" he said. "But just then there was a kind of beetle which got in among these frs of mine and was eating out the central shoots, and really that worried me so that I scarcely paid any attention at all to what Boulanger was doing"

ROCKVILLE.

Rockville was visited by $30,00O fire early Sunday morning. All the buildings on the west side of Market street from
 Main to Brooklyn streets, except the Ex- change block, American hotel and Hirst block, Total loss $3O,OOO, insurance $2O, OOO. The locality is the business center of the city and the burned buildings were owned by W. F. Orcutt. They were cheap wooden structures, one and two stories high in front and three stories in the rear. The one story buildings were erected OF supports over the Hockanum River which flows under the street at this point through a chasm. The fire was discovered in the rear of Heyn's cigar store and pool room at 4.45 a. m. The cause is unknown. There was very little wind, or the loss would have been much larger. The build ings on the opposite side of the street were saved by the hard work of the fire- men. The losses and insurance included: WE. Orcutt, on buildings, $15, ,OOO, cover- ed by insurance; Keeney Bros, groceries, fruit, etc., loss $6OOO. ins rance $4, 800 :; Louis Hartenstein, jr., barber shops loss $500, insured for $4OO; Misses Nellie and Annie Brown, millinery, loss $1 1000, in sured for $1, 1,O0O; E. A. Heyn, cigars and pool room, loss $500, insured W. H. Pomeroy & Company, fish and oyster market, loss $1,OOO, insured 8 %; John Finder, confeotioner, loss $1 ,5OO, insured; Rady & Brown job printers, loss $1 ,5OO, insured $1 ,0OO. The city will now prob ably oblige the erection of brlck build ings, which would be very costly on &C., count of the foundation that would have to be put in and 1t is doubtful if the build ings are replaced. The same day in the afternoon Turn hall on Village street was damaged $500 worth by a fire which started in the basement.
