WISDOM AND ADVICE:

Never buy a stocking that is 'not lon
ger than the foot. Shrinlage is an al
most certain result of washing and a
short stocking is almost as bad as a
short shoe.
Never wear shoes with leather sole
Innings. White cloth is far better and
more comfortable. The same sayy holds
with stockings white sole is far
ahead of a colored one, so far as COM
fort is concerned.
Fancy iron work which is out of doors
may be kept from rusting by simply
applying a thorough coating of mutton
tallow. The same remedy is good for
any metal that is exposed to danpness.
Nothing has worse effect on the
complexion than standing over a hot
fire. To avoid this effect rub bit of
cold cream over the face before going
near the fire. This protects the face
from the heat and dirt. When done
working over the fire wipe off the cream
with a soft flannel cloth.
Flowers that are kept in wet sand
will keep longer than those kept in
clear water. Put them in vase, then
pour dry sand among them until the
vase is three-quarters full After the
SAND is in fill in water till. it stands
above the sand. Add fresh water every
day, never allowing the sand to becomq

WILL sHERs1AN RETIRE.
Belief That He Has Attended His Last
Cabinet Meeting.

Cabinet Meeting.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Secretary
Sherman has left this city for Amagan-
sett, L L, where James l. McCullam.
who married the secretary's adopted
daughter, has a cottage. Mr.. Sherman
was accompanied by his family. Seere-
tarv Sherman shows very much the re-
suit of his recent illness, which was
caused by a severe cold and resulted in
lumbago- Secretary Sherman's alb
sence from the state department has
left that important branch of the
government in sadly chaotic condi-
ton. For the first time in many
years it is without a responsible head.
Assistant Secretary Day is in Ohio on a
months vacation, and Second Assist
ant Secretary Adee is nominally in
charge of the department. There is
feeling among well informed persons
that the vacation of Secretary Sherman
will lead to his retirement in the fall.
He is not anxious to remain in the cabi-
net, and the fact that his health is of
such a precarious character furnishes
him with an excellent excuse to resign
without creating the impression that
the old Hanna deal is being carried
out and that his retirement is forced
one. A number of well informed per-
sons believe that John Sherman has
attended his last cabinet meetings
