stand Up to Fit a shoe.

"People would find less difficulty with
ready-made Shoes" said the expert
enced salesman, "if they would stand
up to fit them on instead of sitting
down. Nine persons out of ten, partic-
ularly women, want comfortable
chair while they are fitting shoe, and
it is with the greatest difficulty you can
get them to stand for few minutes
even after the shoe is fitted. Then
when they begin walking about they
wonder why the shoes are not so com.
Portable as they were at first trial. A
woman's foot is considerably smaller
when she sits in chair than when she
walks about. Exercise brings a larger
quantity of blood into the feet, and they
swell appreciably. The muscles, also
require certain space. In buying shoes
this fact should be borne in mind"

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS.
Some Simple Instructions Which
Every Mother Should Con-
stantly Bear In Mind.

Severe cuts and wounds need most
careful treatment, or blood poisoning
may follow. Careful dressing Of
wounds will often prevent very bad
scars. Over a punctured wound place
pad, which must be removed if in.
flammation ensues to allow the dis.
charge to escape. A wound caused by
a rust;- nail or similar substance
should be cut to favor the escape of
blood or foreign matter which may be
left in the wound. Water that has
been boiled and pieces of old linen are
always the best to use in dressing
cuts or wounds. On no account use a
piece of unwashed calico for this pur-
pose. Rolls of old linen and adhesive
plaster should always be at hand where
there are children. Cleanse the cut from
blood, dirt and all foreign matter, then
bring the edges of the wound together
and apply diagonally several strips Of
adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly
to the skin. When cotton wool is APP
piled medicated cotton only should be
used.

The finest pearl necklace in the world
Is said 10 be that of Countess Henckel.
wcll-known lady in Paris society. 1t
is composed of three necklaces, each
of which was famous in its day. One
of them, known as "the necklace of the
Virgin of Ate ka," was sold to the coun-
tess by Spanish grandee for 1000.
Another was the property of the ex.
queen of Naples, the sister of the late
ill-fated empress of Austria. The third
was the celebrated necklace of ex-Em-
press Eugene, which was worn by her
on state occasions and which was sold
not long ago by firm of London jewel
ers for 100000. The value of Countess
Hcnckel's necklace at the present time
n estimated at 10000.

ORDINARY CIVILITY.
The Advantages and Pleasures Of
1t as Elucida ted by MIR.
GObbleby.

81 should recommend as an investment"
said 4lr. Gobbleby, 'the practice of civility.
As matter of fact, don't suppose that a
very great number of men have suddenly be-
come wealthy through this means; that is, l
don't suppose that large number of very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but l don't doubt, either, that there
have been just such cases, and | don for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent civility.
but aside from any question of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance of that involved in it, should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for
another reason. There are lots OF people
who like civil treatment, who are, in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out of
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet | should say it would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always to be derived from atfording
pleasure to others.
$50 should say that from whatever point
of view we look at it, civility is a good in
vestment; we are sure to get something out
of it, anyway, and it doesn't cost us cent. .

TEACH HER TO RUN.
The American Girl Should be Sys-
tematicalIy Trained In This
Healthful Exercise.

The American girl can be saved by
proper physical training from becom-
ing the American woman with nerves,
says an authority on physical culture
in the New York World.
This physical training should begin
during the earlier days of child
hood. Take girl at her fifth birth
day and teach her to run slowly, with
erect carriage, as far as she can with
comfort every secular day until she
reaches her majority. Suppose by Is
she ran as far as she could with COM
fort in ten minutes, would it trouble
her much at IS, or at 81, to run mile,
at good pace, too?
SIS it not likely that even several
miles under favorable circumstances
for instance, in hare-and-hounds
game-would not disturb her? Had
she been taught to run properly, never
touching her heels to the ground, and
springing lightly from her toes and
sole, to hold her arms practically mo-
tionless, her chest high-as near her
chin as she could get it, and keep it
there-do you think that the muscles
she used in running through all these
years would be weak? Would she have
half-developed lungs or well-developed
ones? Would the muscles which held
her body erect be easily up to their
work, and would it be natural for her
to be erect, or not?
Looking at the girl so trained, do
we not recall Emerson's saying that
'In all human action those faculties will
be strong which are used?' She has
been intelligently using certain parts
of her body and limbs for many years;
mot violently, not overriding them, but
nationally.
This built them up and made them
strong, precisely as it did for her broth
er, who ran with her in all these daily
stretches. Her most important muscle,
her heart-thus, also, trained to strong,
steady, sensible, but never violent, daily
gained steadily in quality
strength and endurance. In short, she
has an educated heart, educated lungs,
educated limbs"

IL
Clothes cases and wardrobss are used
instead.
A new article of bedroom furniture is
called q clothes case. This takes the
place of the bureau or dresser. Instead
of having each drawer separate, like
boxes, half of the front opens upward
and the other half drops, forming a
shelf. The clothing is distributed in
shallow sliding compartments open in
front and drawn out by the edges.
These cases are made to order, in
small or large slides, shallow or deep,
as one may desire. The convenience is
obvious. Us the articles have separate
compartments, and are not in such
danger of being wrinkled from having
piles of heavy clothing on top.
These trays are made of plain wood
to match the outside of the case, or
covered with linen, or padded with
scented silk pads. There are long trays
for the skirts, short ones for the waists
and little ones for the collars, ribbons,
ETC., with some cubby-holes for fans,
gloves and handkerchiefs.
The panels of the upper half of the
front of the one shown was latticed
with ribbons to hold wells and other
light articles. When closed it latched
