IN THE DEEP SEA.
Robert Louis Stevenson Tells OF the Forms
OF Life Found There.

'Ins letters written from Samoa by Rob-
rrt Louis Stevenson TO his ward are print
ed i'm St. Nicholas. Following is an ex-
tract from one:
/ read the other day something that
thought would interest SO great sea bath
or as yourself. You know that the fishes
that we see and catch go only a certain
way down into the sea. Below certain
depth there is no life at all. The water Is
as empty as the air is above a certain
height Even the shells of dead fishes that
como down there are crushed into nothing
by the huge weight of the water. Lower
still, in the places where the sea Is pro-
foundry deep, 1t appears that life begins
again. People fish up in dredging buckets
loose rags and tatters OF creatures that
hang together all right down there with
the great weight holding them In one, but
come all to pieces as they are hauled up.
Just what they look like, just what they
do or feed upon, we shall never find out
only that we have some flimsy fellow
creatures down In the very bottom of the
deep seas and cannot get them up except
In tatters.
1t must be pretty dark where they live,
and there are no plants or weeds, and nc
fish come down there, or drowned sailors
either, from the upper parts, because these
are all mashed to pieces by the great
weight long before they get SO far, or else
come to place where perhaps they float
But l dare say "a cannon sometimes comes
careering solemnly down, and circline
about like dead leaf or thistle down, anC
then the ragged fellows go and play about
the cannon and tell themselves all kinds
of stories about the fish higher up ant
their iron houses, and perhaps go inside
and sleep, and perhaps dream of 1t all lik
their betters,
OF course you know cannon dowi
there would be quite light. Even in shall
low water, where men go down with
diving dress they grow SO light that the
have to hang weights about their necks
and have their boots loaded with 20 pound
of lead--as l know to my sorrow. An
with all this, and the helmet, which
heavy enough of itself to any one up her
in the thin air, they are carried about hk
| gossamers, and have to take every kind c
| care not to be upset and stood upon thei

| Suppose the water not to crush us (Which
would), we should pitch about in ever
kind of direction. Every step we too
would carry us as far as If we had seve
league boots, and we should keep fyin
head over heels, and top over bottom, lik
the liveliest clowns in the world.

The Luggage Signals Used by Hotel EN-
ployees Abroad.
Travellers whom every day brings
back from the continent say that this
season, more than ever, gives plentiful
example of the Freemasonry which ex-
lists among continental hotel employees.
Usually OH board the boats from Calais,
Boulogne and Ostend notes are compared
by tourists who have covered the same
ground and followed the same itinerary.
The results are significant of "eye open

lowing is often overheard:
"My box and two portmanteaus were
smashed fearfully by that villain OF a
porter at the Hotel des Bains, Villavilla,
and my wife and could get no attend

"That is curious, for we were treated
by all the servants most beautifully.
May ask you question? Did you tip
the servants properly at the previous
place, Hotel de Luxe, Lucerne"
"No; I confess it was an oversight,
but what has that to do with the Villa

WARM FEET.
They Are Essential to Health-Proper Cow
ering For the Feet.

They Are Essential to Aealth-Proper Cow
ering For the Feet.
You will never be in good health and
never do your best work If your feet arc
constantly cold. Grave diseases of the
throat and lungs are caused by cold feet
alone, and these troubles are always ag-
gravated by frigid condition of the lower
extremities. If proper footwear does not
give relief, consult "A physician, for the
chances are the system Is run down"
and radical measures are necessary. In
nine cases out of ten, however, the foot
covering Is to blame, either because of Its
shape or its material. Save in warm
weather and for low cut shoes leather, as
ordinarily prepared, has serious objections.
1t lacks two prime qualities-porosity and
capacity for absorption-being In this re-
spect too much like rubber.
No foot can remain either comfortable
or healthy If kept in perpetual bath OF
it's own emanations and execretions.
Leather, especially that of the more porous
varieties, may be tolerated for the outside,
but for cold weather IL should always be
lined with wooden cloth, or better, with
wool felt. In fact, for all cold climates,
and for winter wear in all climates where
there Is any winter, a footgear made from
all wool felt approaches the ideal. Accord
ing to modern notions, any illness In one
part of the body may be occasioned by
some irritating cause far removed from
the seat of the trouble. just how this II
cannot always be clearly explained, blu,
that such connection does sometimes exist
is beyond dispute. In the matter under
discussion, If the nerves of the whole body
are irritated by tight shoe or the extreme
GOODNESS of the extremities makes extra
demand upon the blood supply, there Il
neither nerve force nor blood enough LEFT

THE O MOTHER.
Sows Bitter Feeling and Repels Loving
Attentions,

Sows Bitter Feeling and Repels Loving
Attentions.
At no time in her busy days is an
intelligent mother so apt to fold the
arms and close the eyes of maternal
Justice as when she is cross, says
Housewife. The crossness is chiefly
caused by fatigue-weariness of mind
and body and sometimes of soul. With
tired nerves and weary body she can-
not endure the common demands made
upon her and i'll temper follows. She
sows bitter feelings and repels loving
attentions with her irritable, hasty
words. Broadly speaking, no mother
has any right to get so tired. She can
not afford it. 1t takes too much out OF
her life and too much out of her chill
dren's lives. Such a condition can more
frequently be prevented than is gen.
orally believed. The remedy lies near
at hand. Let a mother find out what
makes her cross and then let her avoid
the cause if possible. If social pleas
ures weary her, let them be decidedly
lessened. If there is too much sewing,
Wv DuSA SOOh1A5, VI " AAAo11J AOuoS-
hold cares, lessen them. If economical
efforts cause the severe strain, stop
ecOnOmizing at such a cost. That is
the worst of wastes. Let the first econ
omy be of that precious commodity, a
mothers strength. Even the extent of
ones religious and philanthropic work
should be carefully examined, and if
the trouble lies there, calmly and wise
ly dismiss some or all of it from the
list of duties, for what doth it profit
a man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?" It is surprising
o easily seeming interests or needs
a be spared without injury to the
home life whenever the thoughtful
woman seeks to find them and surely
one of the worst of household i%nf1uenceg
is crossness.

ABOUT FOOTWEAR.

Bronze-beaded slippers are always
pretty for evening wear, as are also the
beaded suede OF satin slippers.
Evening slippers are prettier than
ever. Patent feathers are the SWEETEST,
and are finished with a small rosette or
snowy rhinestone buckle.
The pointed toe has absolutely gone
out, and has given way to a style which
rejoices in the unromantic and sus-
gestive name Of bulldog toe!
A dainty toilet slipper, called the
DOrsay, is of red Russian tan leather,
and is as chic as the soul of the most
fastldious woman could desire.
Storm shoes are decidedly mannish-
they are made of calfskin, with double
soles, and low heels, are extra high and
are invariably laced instead of but
toned.
A sensible high shoe for the house for
women who are susceptible to colds
is the cloth top boot with patent leather
vamp. Indeed, patent leather is the
foundation Of all dressy footwear.
Fol the walking shoe Dame Fashion
mas declared in favor of but two kinds
the mannisa box calfskin, with full
round toe, or the dongola top with
patent leather vamp; either style may
be laced or buttoned.
All black is considered the correct
mode for evening wear-one Of the
most elegant styles is the black satin
slipper, finished with a dull gold or
rhinestone ornament. Many women of
unimpeachable good taste, however, af-
feet the style of evening shoe matching
the dinner gown, SO velvets, brocades
and satins are seen made up in charm
ing designs.
Cyclists VIII appreciate to the full
the semi-footless hose, which is des-
tined to give an extra warmth by being
worn over ordinary stockings. The fact
that it passes under the foot insures it
being kept in perfect position, while
as the heel and toes are left with only
the single covering you need not fear
that you will have to take an extra halt
size in boots or shoes.

CONFUSION WILL RESULT.
Decimal Time Reckoning to Be Adopted
in France.

Decimal Time Reckoning to Be Adopted
in France.
The confusion and that
The American undergoes in mastering
the British system of coinage will be
nothing compared to that which the
new arrival in France will experience
after the decimal time reckoning is
adopted, says an exchange. This move
ment is part of the general one to re-
duce all measurements to a decimal
system. Such a system, every one ad-
mits, is much simpler than any other
after it has been mastered, but the
confusion that would result immedi-
ately upon it's adoption has been a
great objection to it's universal accept
ance. The metric system of weights
and measures, as is we'll known, has
been adopted by the principal nations
OF continental Europe. Decimal coin
age is used in the Latin Union as we'll
as the United States and Canada. The
division OF the quadrant of the circle
into 100 degrees has so many advan-
tages IN lessening the length of calcu-
latlons tWo-thirds and the chances of
error three-fourths that it's employ
men is sure 10 spread beyond, the
French army, where it is now exclu-
sively used. The measurement of time.
is theo only one that remains to be con-
sidered. The subject has recently been
discussed in La Nature and a practical
method will soon be before the public.
1t is proposed to divide the day of
twenty-four hours into 100 units called
ces. AS will readily be seen a ce is
practically a quarter of an hour, actu-
ally IA minutes, "a seconds. This is
very fortunate and for practical pur-
poses will greatly reduce the difficulty
of t%ransposing from the old system to
the new. Midnight will be 0 &c, 6 a. m.
rs ces, noon so ces, and 6 p. m. Is
ces. Therefore 5 a. m. will be rs ces
minus l hour a ces) or 81 ces; 1:54
p. M, so ces plus ~ hours e ces), or
81 ces. The ce is divided into deci-
menti and milleces.
