CARE OF FOOTWEAR.
The Proper Things to De Done and

The Proper Things to De Done and
 How to Do Them.
 Take care of your shoes--a little care costs nothing, is so easy, makes them last longer and looks better. It pays to have two pairs of shoes, and wear each every other day-this way they never become precipitation soaked and they last much longer and the wearer is healthier. If the feet per spire, sprinkle little powdered burnt alum in the stocking. Perspiration rots leather. Don't allow any acids or salt liquids to touch your shoes-acid burns and salt rots the leather. When the shoes are wet. dry 'em slowly don't put 'em on the stove, in the oven, on the register or radiator; don't put lem near the heat-let them dry by themselves; too much heat seams the leather and cracks the life out of it. the shoes will crack and crumble. Sweet oil rubbed on shoes when dry will soften the leather. If black shoes have reddish or musty color, apply sweet oil and the color will soon come back. When using dressing or black !pg use the least you can-you will have more luster-the shoes wear longer. Always keep the heels straight-this relieves the strain and makes the shoe fit the rubbers better and keeps the rub Der from wearing out at the heel. Don't let the sole become far gone before re- pairing. Don't have stiff soles put on because they are cheaper. The uppers Gre not as good as new, and will not stand tho strain. When taking off the shoes use the hand and not the foot. Unlace shoes ali the way down-thereil be no taking of and putting on strain. Button shoes should be buttoned up whether on the foot or ofi-that keeps the shape. When you put your shoes away for next seasons wear stuff them full of cotton batting, pressing it in as hard as you can. That will keep them from curling up. Don't put rubbers away with leather goods. as the leath- CT oil will blister the rubber. Patent leather shoes will be kept in Q warm place. Don't put them on when they are cold. In cold weather look out for them, and don't go out doors until they have been on IS minutes. Braidson the bottom of the skirt wear out shoes more than velveteen. Always have shoes long enough-short ones hurt the feet-throw the shoe out of shape force the upper from the sole. When buttoning Q shoe, don't jerk the hook over too quickly-it may cut the but ton-hols.-Boot and Shoe Recorder.

 There was once girl who. ns an old song put it. "sold her old mangle and bought pianner." but she lived in Eng land, not in the southeastern part oE Europe. so it is probable that her man. gle was less primitive than the queer instruments of torture still in use by the women of Slavonia and Servia, and its operation of a less heavy task.
 Slavonia is in Austria, or rather in the extreme south of Hungary, but it's peo- pie nre nearly all Servian. Its plains stretch for miles in an endless expanse of perfectly flat country. Its mud is fathomless. Its women's daily task of securing and fighting against the dirt that the linen folks" bring in from out of doors on their shoes Is never done Between times there is the manglo.
 This is stout plank about seven feet long, raised to a height of two feet upon rough hewn logs. The middle of the plank is gripped by framework rising from the floor to height of five feet

bank. There was gleam in his wild eyes, and he laughed aloud in the pride of mastering the gale. The angry river was as dear as the currents of his own reused blood, and he longed to test the great strength of his splendid body or find problem for his crowding thoughts. Life and spirit tingled with in him.
 Suddenly his glance fell upon the ex- cited faces of the men; and then he saw little Jim. He stood among them, speaking quietly, but with stern con tempt.
 "Waitin' for simple Jerry?" he said. "You was"-he .hesitated and did not say "afeared." You was common sensed not to risk it. Give me your pole, Pierre" There seemed to be something in his shining face which separated him from them. George Ham, mond felt it, and began awkwardly: Tt ain't in mans power to save the kid.

He looked smiling ly at his silenced companions, easily master of himself and them. Running lightly forward, he drove the pole into fallen trunk and vaulted far out on the ice. The men on the bank watched breathlessly.
 Hell do it"-"Look at that!" "The wind"-"He can't novel He's hurtl He can't movel'
 But he was not hurt. A new sound, . deep, ominous roar, had made him pause. He understood 1t well. The

anced, Jim chung to his friends neck, md the big fellow smiled at him with hia old. sweet kindliness, though to-day his eyes were brilliant and his face was strong.
 "All right, old man," he said. 'Iet go and Doc'll catch ye. Don't be scart."
 The wind, water and logs screamed and crashed all about them.
 "Now!" cried Jerry, and threw Jim straight into Dr. Mason's arms. They saw him stagger in the attempt to re- cover his footing. Again and again he clinched his hands and crouched. But he could not jump. The ice, oscillating from his motion as he threw Jim, sagged and careened beneath him, until the steady feet failed and he fell face downward. The men groaned aloud; a few turned away, and others ran into the water to help him. He had been swept beyond human aid, however, and they could only watch him die.
 They saw him whirled into the water, as the block of ice broke into thou- sand fragments; once he faced them and waved his hand. In his face was the light they had seen as he strode along the path ten minutes earlier. His arm sank, and he was carried into clear place. All about, ice and logs plunged and reared through the foam. but some whim of wind or current held them from the drowning man. The river he loved was kind. For m in- stant they saw his blond head above the water and his hair gently lifted by the stream. Then he sank quietly. and tho logs hurled themselves over the spot where he had been.
 When Dr. Mason tells this story he says that, as he views 1t, Jerry was his town man" when he died.

 Gifts of flowers are so specially ap- propriate to the Easter season that the accompanying design of little vase 10 hold them, made of an cggshell, and thus adding the Easter symbol 10 the fragrant resemblance, will doubtless be welcome to many readers. The top of the eggshell is irregularly broken and three white beans are gummed upon tho other end to serve for feet. The whole is then covered with gilt paint and decorated with tiny land- scape painted in oil colors. Those who have no skill to do this, or who con alder 1t scarcely worth while to put so much labor on so fragile an article, will find the effect very pretty if the

ELAvoNIAN WOMAN IRONING.

with three great beams running across it, the whole fastened together with pegs. Upon the plank are laid two rollers. and on these rests Q half log of wood just fitting between the sides of the frame. This weight is smooth on its under surface, rough hewn above. and is provided at each end with three pegs which serve as handles.
 The ironer, when ready to begin. takes Q sheet, for instance. winds it tightly around one of the rollers, and puts an old ironing cloth around the outside. Then, lifting one end of the log and placing the roller under it, she works the weight to and fro, until the wrinkles are all presumably smoothed away. Then the sheet is re- moved, folded and put away, and tho next "ironing"-perhaps another sheet or three or four towels, or half dozen handkerchiefs-sub The sec ond roller acts merely to balance the iog, although two ironers can work the machine, one at each end. Az for "starched things"-the "blanchissArie de fine" with which Trilby was con cerned-they are another story-not yet published in rural Slavonia.
 The woman who irons is as pictur- esque as her tools, when she wears the Slovenian peasant costume. Her shoes are fiat and heelless; she has no stock ings, but winds linen about her lower legs and binds it in place with thongs, leaving space of two inches or so bare below the edge of her kilted skirt of coarse, undyed linen. Her yellow, sheepskin jacket is ornamcnted with patches of red and purple leather, quilt ed on with bright yarns, and her head is covered with gaudy kerchief. AL most as often, however, she is stripped of her finery, except on Sundays, and wears at her work bedraggled clothing of western Europe's unattractive work a-day pattern.

When sheets have been in use for some time do not wait for them to begin to split, but cut through the center and turn the outer side to the center. neatly hem the edges, and the sheet will last nearly as long as a new sheet. Bolster cases should be cut in two and made into pillow eases for ordinary wear.

II France would join the United
States in the free coinage OF silver,
with Mexico and the Latin or South
American republics, who are not only
friendly to the white metal, but are
already on bimetallic basis, the
whole Of the commerce OF these vast
sections would be diverted from Eng
land and Germany, where it now goes,
TO the United States and France. 1t
would only be 8 question OF time
when England and Germany would be
compelled to reform THE monetary
system TO meet the conditions and re-
tain their commercial business with
these powers. What the United States
wants to DO is TO cease holding onto
the tail OF the British lion, and direct
their attention TO those nations in
sympathy and interest with the policy
OF bimetallism. When they do this
there will be some show for bimetal'
lism, and not before.
