Footgear and Gloves.

Woman is largely judged by her ex-
tremities, by the way she dresses her
feet and hands, and SO she should have
care in selecting footgear and gloves,
says New York fashion writer. At no
time are her feet so conspicuous as when
in evening tire, unless she happens 10
be a memb.r Of the Rainy Day club.
Evening slippers are very smart at pres
ent. Two general styles prevail for house
and full dress wear-the single strap
or the double strap crossed and tho
laced low shoes. Black satin slippers
deliberately embroidered in cut jet are
very swell and make even the clum-
siest foot look slim and dainty. Pos
SCISSORS of feet broader than or lon
ger than four should, when possible,
stick to black evening slipper, for the
light colors make large feet look larger.
Silver and gold buckles, jewelcd butter
flies and bugs, gold and silver embroi-
deries, fluffy bows and rosettes all look
too beautiful for anything in the shoe
mans window, but they arc intended
for little feet. Women with big feet
can apply philosophy to evening slippers
as we'll as to everything else in life.
For everything you miss you gain some
thing else, and the gain in this case is
immediate, for it is in dollars and cents.
All of these gimoracks on slippers make
them just that much more expensive.
The proper thing to wear with ball
gowns and other elaborate frocks is
Slipper made from the piece of the gown
worn unless it happens to be striped
or Powered brocade. Then slipper
made of the prevailing tint should be
worn. Bronze slippers are much used
for house wear again, and they are pref
ty and inexpensive too. What woman
does not remember her childish JOY over
her first pair of bronze slippers!

PURE TOBACCO.

The London Lancet Says 1t Is Not Ipjuri-
Gus to Smokers.
Referring to the agitation started in
France ly a society which acts OH the
primo, lie that tobacco is always USE
less. often harmful and sometimes homi-
cidal, " The Lancet says: 1--WE agree in
50 far that we allow tobacco to be some.
times very harmful. 1t is, Of course,
poison, hut SO is tea, as also coffee
two vegetable products which are con-
sumcd by nearly every inhabitant OF
either England or France. All three can
he and very often are abused, but this
does not do away with their reasonable
use. In these days of rush and hurry to.
bacco has often most soothing and
restful effect The tobacco sold In
France is, to put it mildly, not good,
and although in England it is possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get it pure.
THAT is to say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way so as to
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the purse of any but rich man,
and as for cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to-
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and, as for the traders saying
customers like scented tobacco, the
customer seldom gets the chance Of
smoking anything else. The truth is
that, as in the case of highly scented
tea or soap it is cheaper to fake infe-
ror qualities of stuff than to supply the
real thing. To be unsophisticated an
article must be of good quality, but the
craze for cheapness is running every
thing, and when people buy cigarettes
at Sc cents hundred it is not to be
wondered at that they get-well, an In
teIiur article. "
In view of these dicta 1t is interesting
To note that cigarettes are turned out in
largo quantities by firms Of repute at a
retail price nearly a third less than the
price mentioned by The Lancet. -Lon-

STYLISH Evening Bodice.

The simplest and perhaps the most
fashionable bodice for evening wear,
says a New York fashion authority, is
tho full blouse shape of chiffon, droop-
ing over fitted silk lining, the top cut
out in square or rounding fashion, with
a full tulle ruche, narrow band OF
fur, fall of lace or beaded rovers to
finish the edge. The sleeves consist of
short, full puffs similarly trimmed.
This is basis for any kind of flower
trimming that taste suggests. Rows CT

SMOKED CANARY BIRDS.


Do Clouds From u Pipe Develop Rich
Color In Their Plumage?
A little old shoemaker who has a
busy, old style cobbling shop on the east
side is bird fancier and he has pc
culiar ideas about canaries. One night
he was sitting on his leather covered
bench, smoking an extremely odorous
quality of tobacco in black pipe. A
customer was waiting for him to finish
strengthening up Il Worn heel, and no
made several remarks concerning the
birds which hung about the cobblers
shop. They were fancy birds, and he
could not help noticing it. Finally he
asked the shoemaker how he got such
richly colored birds.
Its part in the breeding and part in
the atmosphere" said the cobbler.
"You raise birds in shop where two
or three men are constantly smoking,
and in time you will get the darkest
orange color if you use a little judS-
ment in mating and they don't run to

would be wholesome for the birds,
said the visitor.
"On the contrary, it makos them

can get littlo tobacco smoke once in

EDMUND BURKE.
AN able and Versatile Statesman who
Never Attained High Office.

AN able and Versatile Statesman who
Never Attained High Office.
Though Burke never attained high
offlce his abilities were so versatile as to
qualify him for any post which cabi-
net minister could fill. His practical
wisdom was as conspicuous as his power
OF generalization. No one had clearer
comprehension or firmer grasp of great
principles of universal application at
the same time his policy in every de-
partment of English politics rested on
wide and solid basis of information
and experience. He was stepped in the
history of the past, yet penetrated
through and through with the reality of
the present and ever and always mind
full of that future in which the specula-
lions and measures of the day were to
be tested and finally approved or con-
demned. His prodigious activity in pub.
lie affairs sprang not from an intellec-
tual source alone, nor from his imperial
patriotism. 1t was constantly fed from
an ineXhaustiblo store of moral energy.
He was animated by a detestation of all
forms OF oppression, whether by kings
or governors, parliaments or peoples,
which was III him consuming passion,
from which his noble nature could only
obtain relief by denunciation of the op-
pressor and the destruction of his power.
cannot help thinking that Burke
must have been stimulated, too, and
sustained by delight in his studies and
his work. 1t is impossible, without
counting this as an additional incentive,
to understand the amazing industry
which he devoted to the calculation Of
all the great questions dealt with in his
speeches and writings. How his method
reproves the habit, too common in our
day, as in other days, of debating sub
jects affecting the fate Of millions of our
fellow creatures as if they could be dis
posed of by echoing the chatter of igno-
rance, or prejudice, or vanity, or self in
terest! When we read Burke S speech on
Fox's East India bill, we say, "What
great proconsul he would have made!"
When we read his speech on concilia-
ton with America, VIC feel that the
greatest of colonial ministers was lost
in him, and when we read his speech on
economical reform we exclaim, Here is
an ideal chancellor of the eXchequerP' Pr

THE CCEANLY ISLANDS.
Region Where the Very Dust Is Of a

Cleansing Nature.
Fortunate islands, the ancients called
them. What measure of good fortune
they associated with cleanliness is in.

elaboration Of their baths one might
presume that the Romans-not the holy.

some influence surely must have trav.

Whether, however, the title of. For

had not a reference to this quality,
which we place proverbially only next
to goodness, the quality itself is strik-
ingly conspicuous. The islands had 9TH
er names. The Hesperides is the most
familiar Of them, and in Tenerife the
original "dragon" tree may be seen be-
meath which that sleepless dragon coiled
himself who acted as watchdog for the
maidens guarding the golden apples.
Today we call golden apples" oranges
in the language of the country ma
rangas. We have changed the name of
the islands, too, and call them the Ca
naries. No canary birds seem to live in
item, however, and there is notion
that the name is derived ultimately
from "canis," the dogs, especially those
of the island Of Lanzerote, the most
easterly, being famous. The flora of
the islands are subtropical, with palms

Canary Las Palmas?, bananas, eucalyp-
tus, cactus and the aforesaid golden
apples" Luxuriant vegetation is the
glory Of Tenerife; climate wonder
fully equable is common to them all,
but Grand Canary is especially blessed
in Its dryness and freshness.
At Orotava are more grandeur of gar
dens and spacious hotels. At Las
Palmas, facing the northeast trade
winds, are the constant fresh breeze off
the sea, accommodation as comfortable
as could be desired and tho quality of
cleanliness in its superlative degree.
Where all is SO dry it is difficult to be
dirty and positive triumph of innate
instincts over circumstances on the part
Of the proletariat that SO many of them
continue to DO filthy. The Englishman
may even be astonished at the dirt,
as he will be astonished at his own
cleanliness. The establishment is the
greater because the place is pervaded by
a fine dust, but tho very dust is of a
clearly, almost of cleansing, nature.

THE EMPEROR WORsTED.
A Plucky Little Hun~arian Girl Got Re-
venge For Sadowa.


The present kaiser would probably
not admit that he had often been
thwarted in any of his plans, but an
anecdote has recently become known
which shows that he at least once "got
the worst of it," and it is all the more
piquant from the fact that no was de-
feated by girl.
When the kaiser, who was then
Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years
old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some
time at Cassel with their tutors, who
sometimes allowed the little princes to
play with other children. One day when
several of them were gathered together
it CHANGED that little French girl was
among the number, and the young Ger
mans conceived the brilliant idea of
making her representative of the coun-
try they all so cordially hated. The de-
lightful plan was Immediately put into
execution, and the poor child was tied
to a tree. Then began a fusillade of
pine cones, sticks, ETC., and whenever
anything struck her there was cry of
"Here's for Sedan!" This went on for
few minutes, when little Hungarian
girl, Helena Won D., who was watch
ing, could bear the injustice no longer,
and, singing out Prince Wilhelm as
chief offender, she threw herself Oh
him. The attack being unexpected, he
was completely taken by surprise and
fell down, whercupon she began to
pound him, crying out at each blow,
"Here's for Sadowal"
The prince was fast getting the worst
Of it, for his little adversary was thor
oughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and
separated tho combatants. After that
the princes were more carefully watch
ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to
"get even' with the little champion Of
justice. Some days afterward, hearing
that the princes were leaving, Helena
went down to the gate to see them 60
by. AS they passed Wilhelm spied his
foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he
stuck out his tongue.
Helena was tho daughter Of titled
parents, and later she was married tc
an Englishman. When the kaiser was
in London, she told this story to one Of
his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn
repeated it to his majesty. The latter
exclaimed: SIS that devil of girl here
now? would like to see her." A meet.
ing was arranged, but Helena became

How Sugar Is Eeiinod.

The method used by the best sugar
rofineries is substantially as follows:
The raw sugar is dissolved in large els
terms on the ground floor, enough hot
water being added to produce specific
gravity of l.25. The solution is then
drawn through connecting pipe hav-
ing a coarse wirc strainer into largo
pumps, by which it is pnmpod into the
highest story of the building, usually
the seventh or eighth. 1t there passes
into vessels heated by steam coils to
temperature of about 2l0 t. MIX OF
lime is added to the solution in these
pans for the purpose of neutralizing any
acid which it may contain. From these
pans the liquid passes down to the next
floor. where it is filtered through Sc
RIGS of bags, each made OF two thick
nesses of cloth, an outer one OF coarse
and an innor one of fine cotton. The
bags are inclosed in boxes to prevent
cooling. After leaving these the slrup
is run through filters Of boneblack,
which absorbs all tho coloring matter
left in it. After leaving these it is
pumped into vacuum pans, large vessels
heated by steam and exhausted by air.

duced, tho liquid is boiled at lower
