CARE OF FOOTWEAR.
s":c Proper Things to BE Done and
How to DO Them.

How to Do Them.
Take care of your shoes-a little care
costs nothing. is SO easy, makes them
last longer and looks better 1t pays
to have two pairs of shoes, and
wear each every other day-this way
they never become perspiration soaked
and they last much longer and the
wearer is healthier. If the feet per-
spire, sprinkle a little powdered burnt
alum in the stocking. Precipitation
rots leather. Don't allow any acids or
salt liquids to touch your shces-acid
burns and salt rots the leather. When
the shoes are wet, dry 'em slowly
don't put en- on the stove, in the oven,
on the register or radiator; don't put
'em 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 a reddish or musty color, apply
sweet oil and the color will soon come
back. When using dressing or black
ing 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
tit the rubbers better and keeps the rub
her from wearing out at the heel. Don't
let the sole become far gone before re-
pairing. Don't have stiff seies put on
because they are cheaper. The uppers
are not as good as new, and will not
stand the strain. When taking off the
shoes use the hand and not the foot
Unlace sloes nll the way down-there'll
be no taking off and putting on strain
Button shoes should be buttoned up
whether on the foot or off-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 rs you can, That will keep them
from curling up. Don't put rubbcrs
away with leather goods, as the leath-
er oil will blister the rubber. Patent
leather shoes will be kept in G warm
place. Don't put them on when they
thera. and dent go cut do9rs until
they have been on l5minutes, Braids on
the bottom of the skirt wear out shoes
more than velveteen. Always have
shoes long eIough-short ones hurt the
feet-throw the shoe out of shape
force the upper from the sole. When
buttoning a shoe, don't jerk the hook
over too quiciliy-it may cYt the but
ton-hole.-Boot and Shoe Recorder.

Cure for sIcenIeasness.

A Swedish servant maid, finding that
her mistress was troubled with sleep
Iessness, told her of a practice of the
people of her country who are similarly
afflicted. 1t was to take napkin, dip
it into ice-cold water, wiring it slightly,
and lay it across her eyes. The plan was
followed, ana il worked like charm.
rhe first night the lady slept four hours
without awaking-something she had
not done for several months. At the
end of that time the napkin had become
Try. BY wetting it again she at once
went to sleep, and it required consider
able force TO rouse her in the morning.

ROYAL PHRASE-MAklN0.


Past and Present.
Phrase-mal1ing two or three genera.
tons ago played an important part in
french politics. Louis XVI. had a lit
erary prompter who used to prime him
with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples al#i,
ration.
Your majesty will soon be going to
the races" said this prompter one day.
"You will find o notary entering the
bets Of two princes of the blood; when
you see him, sire. make the remarks
What is the use of this man? Ought
there TO be written contracts between
gentlemen? Their words should be
enough"
The scene came off-the prompter
saw to that=And the courtiers eX-
claimed: What happy thought!
How kingly! That is his STYLE"
Another scene, more likely to impress
the Populace, was planned by this
prompter. a slcdging pleasure party
was arranged for the king. just as it
was about to start several carts passed
~ ing "Ooti " tJO'Jl Vi III
These are my sledges!" said Louis,
pointing to the loaded carts, and he de-
ciined to join the party.
Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris:
"There is nothing changed; Only q
Frenchman the more in Paris"
AS a matter of fact, the king did not
trouble himself to utter the phrase;
but Tallcyrand inserted it in the jour
mails of the day that the people might
fatter themselves that their king had
forgotten the past, and consequently
there would be no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase ut
tered by modern king was spoken by
King Humbert few years ago, when
the cholera was raging In Naples. He
had been invited by the municipality of
Genoa to banquet, which he declined
in these words: "AIen are feasttng at
Genoa; men are dying at Naples-I go
to Naples. Companion

LIVE WOMAN'S TOMB.
ReAarkabie Eccentricity of a Norwic
fanny

ReAarkable Eccentricity of a Norwich
Comm Lady.
Mrs. Mary futile 'Diamond'') John
son, formerly resident OF Norwich,
Conn.,, now of Chicago, for whom a can
servator was recently appointed by re-
quest of her husband and sons, has had
a remarkable grave constructed in her
lot in Yantic cemetery, destined to re-
ceive her body. 1t is the most costly,
massive, unique and elaborate one in
Connecticut.
Mrs. johnson purchased her ceme-
tory lot some time ago and had her
grave made. She is haunted by an
overmastering dread of graveyard
ghouls and robbers, and she had barely
completed her grave when she decided
that it was not strong enough to battle
n possible assault after her body had
been committed to it.
With a corps of skilled professional
workmen she went to work at once to
reconstruct and immensely strengthen
IL, carrying on the work clandestinely
in order to forestall opposition on the
part of her conservator and her watch
full husband and sons. The result OF
her craftiness and the dispatch and
dexterity of her workmen was that she
not only accomplished her project with
out betraying her design, but so neatly
that there is not an outward token to
indicate to a casual observer that the
old grave had ever been disturbed.
The grave is in many respects the
most remarkable and wonderfully con-

DOdging Responsibility.

The following from Washington
appears in Monday mornings
papers.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Accord-
ing to report, President Mckinley
has already written message to
Congress recommending the clea-
ton of currency commission,
which shall take in charge all the
puzzling financial questions and
submit a general scheme for the
consideration of Congress.
"Secretary Gage, of the Treasury
Department, whose recent public
utterances on this line have at
tracted attention, is reported as
authority for the statement that the
President has taken up the matter
and written message on it to
Congress.
at is understood that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will withhold this message
until the tariff bill has been passed
by the Senate, but he will send it
in during the present session, as
his desire is to have Congress act
upon his recommendation and
authorize the commission before the
adjournment of the special session
in order that it may have its re-
port ready for submission to Con
gress upon its reconvening in Deem
Der next.
PRESIDENTS RECOMMENDATION.
"The message, it is understood,
recommends the creation of a COM
mission composed of members of
Congress and trained fnanciers,
men celebrated throughout the
country for their ability in that
line. No particular plan or scheme
will be suggested, as it will be the
duty of the commission to examine
all plans and report to Congress
the currency scheme which it shall
regard as the best, providing it
agrees as to the need of such legisla
ton.
'It has been known for some
time that Mr.. Mckinley had in
contemplation the sending of a
message to Congress on this subject,
and the comments already heard
upon the proposition to create a
currency commission indicate that
the House will readily respond to
the Presidents suggestion"
1t has been clear to everybody
all along that President Mckinley
is as afraid of this leading and all
important question (the currency
question: as he is of a copperhead
snake, and will resort to every art
to dodge it, but his administration
must face it. He would appoint
such a commission as Wall Street
bankers suggested or named, and
they would make a Rothschild gold
report to Congress. The above
dispatch foreshadows the personal
of such a commission as MI. Nc
Kinley would appoint too clearly
to be misunderstood; Grained fnan-
ciers who were celebrated through
out the country for their ability in
that line.' The bankers of New
York claim to hold monopoly OF
this knowledge and our timid
president is only too anxious to
shift the business of the "honest
dollar" and ''sound money" on to
them. But the senate is not going
to open any such back door fol-
Mr.. McKinley's escape. He and
the republican party must face the
music.
