HARMONY IN FOOTWEAR.

1t is difficult to say what is the cor.
rect slipper for this seasons wear, So
bewitching is the variety from which
the dancing maid may choose.
They come in satin, kid and patent
leather, and are as correct when
beaded clear down to the toe as when
plain, sometimes one, sometimes two
or even three straps are worn.
Buckles either OF jewels or beads are
seen both with and without bows.
The well shaped Oxford tie, SO long
as it is in harmony with the frock,
looks very smart.
The edict has gone forth that the
slipper must match the color of the
gown exactly. Black slippers are only
worn with black gowns, and white
shoes with white frocks.

larly bad taste this season. New York

The most extensive fortitication in
the world, as every one knows, is tho
Chinese wall. According to recent
surveys, this wall is 1928 miles in
length, reaching from the gulf OF
Pechelee to the confines OF Turkestan.
This remarkable structure passes up
steep mountains, down into gorges
ana ravines, crosses rivers. valleys
aud plains, seemingly regardless of
obstacles. 1t is 20 feet thick at the
bottom, and 15 at the top, and from
% to 80 feet in height, with fanking
turrets or towers 35 to 40 feet high,
every 200 or 800 yards during its en-.
tire length. The exterior walls are OF
well-cut granite blocks; the interior
is filled with earth aud stone, and the
passageway is paved with bricks one
foot square. Its erection was begun
in 21l b. c., and it was assigned to
protect the northern frontier of China
against the savage tribes of Siberia.

1t is wellknown fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person to another. and
thus to spread contagious diseases
1t is also supposed that coins,
which are more IN circulation than
notes, might similarly act as agents
for spreading disease, and investi9a-
tons in that direction were made at
the Vienna University when Austria
changed its currency to the gold basis.
A report about his observations was
recently published by DR.. Vincent in
the Vienna Medical Gazette, in which
he states that metals act, so to speak,
as antiseptics in regard to bacteria, or
microbes, the fact being that these
microscopic organisms have but very
short lease of life while on metals.

He finds that women are less sensi-

sensitiveness is less in early life, in.
creases to the twenty fourth year. and
decreases after that. The higher
classes are most sensitive and the de-
generate least. He found the later
