As to High Heels.

If you value the good appearance of
your feet do not wear very high heels
on your boots or shoes. The result OF
the habitual wearing of high-heeled
boots Is to cause the feet to become
very wide. All the pressure comes from
the fore part of the foot, thus broaden
ing It, The best and most comfortable
shoes are generally those made to

of shape as ready shoes, and, as
a rule, they have better appearance.

great Indignation among the order-loV-
ING citizens was that of the whipping
of a widow on account of alleged i'm
proper conduct. Her husband had died
a wear before. and she was trying to
cultivate piece of poor land and make
n living for herself and two small chill
dren She was the associate of her
nearest neighbOrs, regularly attended
the country church, and no one had
ever breathed Il word against her char
acter. TO the surprise of all her friends
she was taken from her home at night
and threatened with whipping if she
did not leave the neighborhoOd. Only
her piteous pleading saved her from the
pain and indignity which the White
Caps intended to inf1ict. 1t is said in
behalf of the White Cap organization
of the county that it was not the mover
in this outrage, and that none of its
members were present, but the citizens
who have appealed for relief point to
this fact as an additional reason for
the disbanding of the organization. for

less to surmise. adds the Engineer, that
the subject was a pronounced catalep-

seem to indicate more strongly than
ever the necessity for stringent law

Hit. but Not Killed by a Cannon Ball.

A unique distinction belongs to Sir
Robert Rawlinson, X. G. B.-that of be-
ing the only soldier who has been
knocked out of the saddle by cannon
ball without being killed. The identi-
cal forty -two-pound shot is preserved
by Lady Rawlinson as an interesting
relic. At the Crimea Sir Robert was
riding with a group of artillery officers,
when he announced his intention OF
turning back. At this moment a shot
from the Russian lines came whizzing
along in front of him, cutting the reins
and pommel of the saddle, and wedg-
ing a steel purse with terrific force
against the riders hip-bone.
