Seals Love Music.

The well-known love of seals for mu.
steal sounds too often leads to their de.
struction. When the Eskimo hunter
sees none of his prey about he begins
whistling, and sooner or later is sure
to attract an appreciative seal within
reach of his harpoon. Lying at full
length at the edge of the ice he contin-
ues whistling low plaintive calling
notes, and presently few of the ami.
mails will draw near the spot, lifting
themselves as high as they can out OF
the water, and slowly moving their
heads to and fro, as if keeping time tc
the music. By and by one seal, more
daring than its fellows, will come very
close to the hunter, who then jumps te
his feet and Stays the creature, while
its mates make off as quickly as posi-.

ALL ABOUT SHOES.
When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.

When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.
Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. If
it is remembered that activity and
standing enlarge the feet, and at the
latter part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints of shoes being tight,
which at the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable. Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better if kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise to keep several pairs for a week
before wearing them, and several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear shoe
too small or that does not fit when you
first put it on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinches does not ex-
list. A shoe should be washed every now
night. In this case a fresh application
of backing restores the brilliancy of
the leather. A wet. shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for it will
become hard and stiff. The way to save
| shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe it off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of a soft piece of
| flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in
bad weather. Rubbers always spoil a
be handled until warmed, and they can
be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by cloth or by the palm of
the hand, which is better. If shoes are
washed once a month they will be soft
and impervious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
sionally sponge the insides of their
| shoes with a moderately strong solu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly dry before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is to roll strip of
flannel four inches wide and good
yard long into wad and sew 1t tight
ly. Dip it into saucer filled with a
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe all over, and, taking
a fresh flannel, rub the shoe until it
is dry. By this means the painful ap-
proach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. A fine polish
and one that will make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
ture is used: Two ounces of ivory
black, three ounces of molasses and one
pint of vinegar. Mix them together.
and, having also stirred five grains OF
sperm oil and six drachms Of oil OF
vitriol, work all the ingredients to-
gether. Tan shoes should be washed

WOMAN AND HOME.
CALLS WOMEN SAvAGES.
"A H1ndOO Cynic Says the Fair Sex
Abuses Its Power.

"A Hindoo Cynic Says the Fair Sex
Abuses Its Power.
Many women, and especially the
mothers of the far west, are guessing as
to whether they shall accept Brama-
charian Bodha bhikshu, a white-robed
and turbaned Hindoo visitor to the re-
cent woman's congress in San Francis
co, as popular or unpopular repre-
sentative. Although one of the most
enlightened and Intellectually superior
citizens of the orient who has ever Wis
tied this country, his alleged remarks
on the character of western women
have raised an unlimited amount of dis
cussion and society gossip among the
residents of the Pacific coast.
Bodhabhikshu is the supremely dar-
ing man who declared in effect that the
women of the western United States are
savages. This brutal conclusion fol-
lowed on beautifully worded descrip-
ton of woman as the fine flower of civ
lization, and it was on account of this
all the more cruel. If there is one thing
on which the western woman prides her
self it is that she is civilized. She
showed at least one quality when she

For Bnby's Pillowslip,

A pretty arrangement for baby pill

separate, the edges embroidered in
fancy scallops, the lower edge extend

as far as the upper edge extends be-

this slip to the little pillow is to have
series of holes in both pieces of linen

then run narrow pink or blue ribbon
