AblaZe
With ErySipeIaS

There is no disease of the blood
which so completely puzzles the doc
tors as Erysipelas. They admit that
it is a blood trouble. but like other such
disea asses, they are unable to effect d
cure.
1t is not surprising that those who
are afflicted with this distressing dis
ease should suffer such untold agonies.
Like consuming flame, it covers the
skin with fiery, burning redness
which is almost uubedrable, and only
those who have been 50 afflicted can
describe it's fortunes.
Aside from the suffering which Fry
sipelas causes, there is always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when a vital part is attacked, the
result is disastrous. Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumble away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such a case, where the doc
tors were unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.

mab1e young lady, residing at Alamo,

STYLES IN FOOTWEAR.

thusiasm as are those for the head.
Shoes, boots and slippers all have their
day, and, although the changes in heel
and toe are as radical as those of other
personal belongings, Dame Fashion does
not cry it out from the house tops;
neither does she insist that her whims
in this regard be followed closely.
Pointed toes have lost their prestige,
and round, roomy one has come in
their place. 1t has taken months for
this shaped toe to establish itself in
general favor, but it is English, and the
habit of following customs from that
country is one of long standing. There
fore round toes will be seen ON the feet
of all the really swagger set this season.
Tan shoes and other walking boots will
take on this new style. Thus two i'm
portant points will be gained-ease and
novelty. For the street, black boots are
preferred The matter of fastening also
is one of preference Laced shoes show
to greater advantage the natural shape
of the foot, while buttoned shoe will
always lack grace. A cloth top, with
patent leather vamp, is a favorite style
of boot for the street in the afternoon,
although those made of kid entirely are
quite as much in vogue. For carriage
wear, patent leather vamps with tops to
match the costume are very handsome.
This style is also carried out with tailor
made gowns in small checks or plaids.
A dressy shoe is the Richelieu, al
though not a novelty. 1t is used for
general evening wear and is made of
the softest French kid, half low and
beautifully stitched. Other evening
shoes are made of satin to match the
| gown or Of suede kid. A pretty conceit
| is the low cut patent leather slipper
with moderately high heel and lining
| of silk or satin to correspond with the
| costume.
Black satin boots and oxford ties are
growing in popular favor. These shoes
always feel delightfully."- easy on the
| feet, and there is no doubt but that a
| black shoe makes an ordinary sized foot
more dainty. This is especially true OF
black satin. Slippers for use in the
sanctity of ones own bedroom are dain-
ty affairs of bright red kid, some OF
| which are without heel entirely,
while others have a high red one. The
soles of these are padded, and many OF
| them have sachets hidden in the satin.
Linen and crash slippers are most con
venient and readily make themselves
necessary for bedroom use. The forego
| ing styles were reported and illustrated
in the New York Times, from which
they are here reproduced.

The fancy work of the day is in two
distinct varieties, with the line sharply

To Replace a Tire.

To those who have a practice of TAX
ing the tire off the wheel at the slight
est provocation word of warning re-
garding the replacing of such may not
be amiss. 1t is risky to place the tire
back unless the old cement has been
softened somewhat. If the cement is
hard, the tire will not hold and is apt
to come off, with serious results to the
rider. First heat the cement and get it
little soft and pliable and then place
the tire on, aud it is quite certain to
stick. There is some cement used which
can be ignited, and after the blaze gets
around the entire rim it can easily be
extinguished by shaking the rim OF
blowing on it. A poorly cemented tire
is bound to creep off the rim, and if
there is not enough cement to make q
firm adhesion the best thing is to apply
additional cement. Never use liquid
cement or cheap, hard cement for fas-
tening tires to the rims the first time

They Pray on Wheels.

To so great an extent have the jap
anese adopted European methods and
models that an enterprising Buddhist
has adapted the bicycle to serve the
needs of the praying wheel as used by
the followers of his creed. Instead of
attaching the written prayer to the Gus
tomary wheel, which is generally turned
by a convenient stream of running
water, the new vogue is to fix the
prayer to the hub of the bicycle wheel,
so that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although there
appears to be spice of sacrilege in the
practice, it is apparently catching on,
for rumor has it that American firms
are already preparing machines with
Buddhist collects embossed on the tires,
so that the bicycle will become an in
strument of pleasure and prayer book
combined. James Gazette.

True Education.

Wilmington Messenger.
While we do not accept the teach
ings of his materialistic age that the
true end of man is to make money
and live in splendor and sin, we do
accept the declaration of thinkers
that it is the duty of the people to
educate the children. We do not
hold by any means that the highest
civilization is to he measured by the

Head First. Hands Last.

The practice of reading over mentally
a composition time and time again can
not be too earnestly recommended. That
mental conception of music which is
everything in playing is frequently to
be obtained only in this way. So many
players devote so much attention to
technic that the most you can say Of
their pieces is that they are executed,
not played. Don't take your new piece
to the piano to try it over, but rather
sit down in some quiet corner and go
over it mentally. Study out its inner
meaning, its conception, its harmonies
and effects. Then go to the piano, and,
with this mental picture wildly photo
graphed ON your mind, endeavor,
through the exercise of will power, to
make your fingers perform it as you
have conceived it. Your first attempts
will naturally prove unsatisfactory, but
this will be the fault of the hands and
not the brain. 1t will only remain now
to work up the technical parts, to study
the touch aud lingering, before you can
say you can play that piece.

Dress Extravagances.

many women are guilty of wearing rub
bers over new shoes, thereby making the
leather dry and hard and easily cracked?
Making the sewing woman wait in
the house idle or doing fancy work be-
cause you have neglected to get mate
rails before her arrival?
Buying articles because they are
cheap and will come in some time?
Allowing whalebones to wear through
the waist, thereby running gown?
Wearing the same clothing each week
as it comes from the wash?
Leaving a silk umbrella in case,
thereby causing it to split in the folds?
Turning skirts wrong side out when
hanging them up?
Placing brushes with the bristles side
up?
Failing to sew glove buttons ON be-
fore wearing, or mending them before
cleaning?

Wheeling In Scandinavia.

Cycling has gained absolute sway in
Scandinavia. In Norway, Sweden and
Denmark the household that has not one
member devoted to the pastime of cy-
cling is rare, says an English cycle

swarms with cyclists during all hours
of the day. Masons, bricklayers and car
penters can be seen speeding along the
streets in their working clothes and
with tools slung across their backs. If
for nothing else, the bicycle is blessed
in Scandinavia because it saves time.
