For Tired and Tender Feet.

There is nothing more strengthening
TO the feet than salt. But bathing the
feet in salt and water, however. Is not
enough. Put about quart of warm
mot hot water in basin. and add Il
tablespoonful of sail. Having first
thoroughly washed the feet with warm
water and soap. place them in the salt
bath fifteen or twenty minutes. then
wipe dry An occasional treatment or
this kind is very restful. bu- continued
persistently once a week at least. for
several months. it will be found that
the feet are not only rested, but

A r FRENCH JOKE.
Partisan Journalist Asked to Bogus Re.

An interesting hoax has been perpe
trated by prominent Partisan jour
nal at the expense of its contempora-
ries, says the London Standard AS re-
corded some days since, NJ. Deschanel.
In the course of one of his noisy sit

bell placed on his desk to call the
deputies to order. The journal in
question announced that there was to
be an interesting rehea rsal today when
with the uSherS to initiate the noisy
deputies, a trial Of number of new
bells would be made with a view of
selecting a successor to NJ. F:chet's
GIT, which had done duty since 1850.
The result was that a crowd of Paris
ian Journalists were early in attend
ance at the Palais Bourbon, with a
view OF ascertaining the hour at which
this interesting ceremony was TO take
place. Courteous ushers, who, no doubt,
from their long experience, would
make model deputies were there. as
usual TO greet them: but nothing was
known OF the trial, and the Journalist
responsible for the original paragraph
has the satisfaction of knowing that
he deranged at least fifty of his con-
frereS. caused much amusement at the
chamber, and afforded a subject for
gossip in the evening at the clubs. NJ.
Deschanel, the president of the cham
Der, is still in this country; but on his
return eight new bells, which have
been cast, will be submitted to him,
and the chosen three will be further
embellished with the initials "R. F."
One of these bells will be placed in
the chamber one kept for reserve, and
the other sent to Versailles for the use
Of future congresses. 1t seems that

Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

L. Xavire Eyma a Frenchman. who
came to this country in lS47. wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22,1S4S. giving his expert
ences on the railroads OF the United
States. He says that at that time
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had
a length of seventy leagues and that
the cost of the road was 4.l16744
francs. the receipts 3,9SS.456 francs and
expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also
gives considerable space TO the in
terror arrangements Of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that.
they are actually houses where moth
ing is lacking for the necessity of life
and are divided into compartments and
sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Each room held six
beds or rather little touches in three
tiers along the sides. He winds up his
account by saying that valuables were
not particularly we'll taken care of. as
in America there were no such things
as sneak thieves.
