Eernan's Novel Method of Keeping the
Teet Warrn in Cold Weather.


Germans Novel Method of Keeping the
Feet Worm in Cold Weather.
Warm feet during wet weather are
che best preventive against so-called
"colds" and their often dangerous con-
sequences. Rubber shoes and cork eoles
have been pretty generally used to avoid
getting cold and wet feet, but new and
very curious means to warm the feet
has recently been patented by Paul
Wonneberger, Of Gruna, near Dresden,
says the Philadelphia Record, He calls
his invention "heatable shoes" Within
the heel Of the shoe, which is followed,
out, there is receptacle for glowing
substance, similar TO that used In tho
Japanese hand-warmers. Between the
so1es, imbedded in asbestos covers, thens
Is rubber bag, which is filed with wa
ter. The water Is heated above the
heel, and as It circulates while the
wearer of the shoe is walking it keeps
the entire neither surface of the foot
warm. A small safety valve is provided,
and the bag cannot burst. The warmth
given by this sole never rises above:
70 degrees Fahrenheit. and will last for
about eight hours. The shoes are little,
heavier than ordinary ones, and the
sole is but slightly thicker than that OF
the so-calIed wet westheg boot. fgl5sl:.l

lection of o CockereL

While good size is an item in the Sc
lection of male, activity is fully as
important. An extra large cockerel Is
apt to be sluggish and clumsy when
matured. The best plan is to choose
a male bird of medium size, compact,
active and vigorous, and also to be
careful that he was Matched early. In
this case he will be reasonably well
natured when mated for breeding, and
If the flock is largely composed of hens,
the produce should show an improve
ment in the flock. If pullets are the
mainstay for the coming season, it
will be better to secure two or three
year-old male.-Western Plowman.

A Pair of Shoes,

One of the big Lynn shoeshops made
a pair of ladies' boots for the Paris ex-
hibition of 1889 in "a minutes. A no.
tary public followed the operation, watch
in hand For this feat the pair of shoes
went through the usual routine of the
shop, but at exceptional speed. Fifty
seven different operators and d. ma.
chimes were concerned in the work,
which required rs pieces of leather, IA
pieces of cloth, "a buttons, "a button
holes, 80 tacks, 20 nails, box toes, 2
steel shanks and 30 yards of thread
Since that time the division of labor
upon pair OF shoes has become still
greater, and there is a larger number of
machines employed, with the result that
a pair Of ladies' boots can now b made
complete in this factory inside Of 10
minutes. Philip g. Hubert. Jr., IN

Wealth.

Wealth is a blessing when properly
used, and the mere fact of any man pos
sessing it can by no possibility be held
against him unless he came by it
through dishonest or fraudulent means.
One might ask with some show of rea-
son, where would the hospitals, the in
firmaries, the charitable institutions
the halls of learning and the thousand
and one great interests of this country
be had they not been endowed and as
sisted by people of means. There are
many people in this country today who
owe their education and training large
ly to the benevolence of those who gave
of their substance to keep up the schools
and colleges.
The American people are gifted with
a fair average of good sense, and while
they may for a time join in the outcry
against the capitalist, as such, they can
scarcely fail to come back to their nor
NAL, rational level and look upon these
outbreaks as sensational, injurious, IN
just and wholly uncalled for.-New

Recognized by His Legs.

When Archbishop TAFT was visiting
at a country house in the Highlands Of
Scotland, some years ago, he went down
one morning to the postoffice to send a
telegram to his brother, Sheriff TAFT,
and he wrote the direction, "The arch
bishop of Canterbury to Sheriff TAFT. "
The old postmaster read the words in
contemptuous tones, and then, looking
at him over his spectacles, said: 1.-THE
archbishop Of Canterbury! And wha
may ye be that takes this cognomen"
The archbishop, with homely wool
en- comforter wound about his neck to
keep ont the chill air, was painfully
conscious that he might find it hard to
prove his identity. It was a relief to
him when on second thoughts the post
master relented so far as to inquire,
MAY be ye're the gentleman himself?"
TAFT replied. For want of better, I
am" The old Scot saw the mistake into
which he had fallen and was profuse in
his apologies. II might have seen you
We're rather consequential about the

bishop away in good heart, he added, ~

On His Dignity.

The young king Of Spain stands on
his dignity and makes his small COM
panions know the difference Between .
reigning sovereign and subject.
While staying at st. Sebastian he was
accustomed to battle and swim and play
with certain young count, and every
thing went Oh we'll until one day, when
playing at tives, the count lost his temper
and gave the kings ball an angry hit
back. In doing so it struck the king.
He did not say word, but his face
flushed, and there was look in his alb
normally large eyes that the'count had
never seen before. Instead of apologize.
ing the count grew defiant, and the
same thing occurred again. Alfonso
picked up his hat, and, bowingy stiff1y,
he said, Count, cannot have for my
friend any one who is so rash as to lose
his temper at play"
The countess, deeply distressed at
what had occurred, sought an interview
with the queen. When she was ushered
into her presence, she found the king
was there, and, not liking to tell her
mission before him, began to speak on
other subjects, but the king guessed
why she had come, and, after greeting
her, he said, II am sorry to lose the SO.
ciety Of your son, but king has his
dignity to keep up, and bad manners are
worse than bad play. "-Philadelphia

Volcano OF Pinchincha.

Two Swiss tourists were recently lost
while endeavoring to explore the volca-
no Of Pinchincha, near Quito, which
has sometimes been yelled for days in
thick darkness by its falling ashes.
Humboldt assembled it and describes ii
as forming wall more than eight geo.
graphical miles long upheaved over a
fissure in the westernmost cordillera
nearest to the Pacific ocean. It is sur
mounted, castlelike, by three successive
SUBMITS from southwest to northeast,
called Cuntur- Guachana, Guaga Pichin-
cha and Pichaco de los Ladrillos, the
proper volcano being termed "the Fa.
ther" or "Old Man," Rucu Pichincha.
This is the only part which enters the
region of perpetual snow. Humboldt
assembled it in 1902, Sebastian Wisse in
1S45, spending several days and nights
in a part of it's crater, and the English
mountaineer Whymper in 1875. Its &C
tivities are intermittent, occurring in
general several times in each century,
but it has now for long time been rea,
sonably quiescent. 1t is one of the most
interesting volcanoes in South America
or the world, but, as the fate Of the
Swiss tourists attests, it discourages
familiar approach, and there is good
deal yet to learn about it.-New York

Bells were we'll known to the Egyp-

minister, and his sound shall be heard
when he goeth in unto the holy place
before the Lord, and when he cometh
out, that he die not" Hand bells were
in common use all over the ancient
world. Tho earliest use Of bells in
churches was for the purpose Of fright
ening away the evil spirits which were
believed to infest earth and air, and
the earliest curfew was rung at night
fall to rid tho neighborhood Of the vii
lage or town and church of demons.
Most old churches Of Europe have a
small door on the north side, and at
certain points in the service this door
was opened, and bell was rung to give
notice to the devil, if he CHANGED to be
present, that he might make his exit
before the elevation. By the command
of Pope John TX church bells were rung
as protection against thunder and
lightning. The monument of Porsena,
the Etrurian king, was decorated with
pinnacles, each surmounted with bell,
which tinkled in the breeze. The army
of Clothaife raised the siege of Sens on
account Of q panic occasioned among
the men by . sudden chime from the
bells Of st. Stephens church. The lar
gest bell in the world is in the Kremlin
at Moscow. Its weight is $50 tons, and
the value Of the bell metal alone, not
counting the gold and silver ornaments
which were thrown into the pots as
votive offerings, is estimated at $685.

Colonel Pollock, who has had half

now it is almost impossible to procure

Gle. To procure it in perfection is now
only possible in Madras, where it is
considered worthless unless 1t be abso-

plucked cocoanuts. The deterioration of
curry is in proportion to the lack Of this
essential quality. How far commercial
