cloth, and when it is nearly dry it may
be ironed on the wrong side with a
moderately hot iron. In coloring
white or cream laces, If a deep yellow
is desired, use yollow ochre or coffee.
It is best first to test the shade on
a small piece Of muslin before putting
the lace in. When using coffee great
care must be taken to see that no
grains r allowed to get on the lace,
as that would make it spotted. It is
a good plan to mix the coloring mate
rial with the starch to insure even COL
oring and yet not take the stiffness
out. When black lace has lost its
freshness wash it first in lukewarm
water and a little melted soap. Then
prepare a deep blue water and mix
with it some gum arabic. The usual
proportion is one tablespoonful Of
gum arabic to a pint of the water. Dip
the lace in this mixture, squeeze light
ly with the hands, and then pin the
lace out on a clean piece of muslin to
dry. When nearly dry iron on the
wrong side. Another method is to dip
the lace in a mixture of milk and wa
ter, squeeze well, then iron with a
sheet Of tissue paper yer it. Black
wells can be freshened in the same way
as black lace.

Joe" Wheeler's Heart Touched by .

During the civil war there was a
town in Tennessee that became very
familiar with both the union and the
confederate armies. Sometimes the
town was under control of n and
sometimes of the other. The town had
an equal number of union and confed-
crate sympathizers, who named the
principal streets JEFF Davis and Lin
coin streets, the people living on these
streets taking this way of expressing
their attachments. Each army, as 1t
passed through the town. took from its
enemies all it could get. Sometimes
the soldiers made mistakes, and took
from their friends. One day a detach-
ment of confederate cavalry followed
o detachment of union soldiers
through the town. They entered q
store the proprietor Of which was a
southerner, who had hidden from the
union forces. No one was in the store
but a little girl of IL, who had fire.
quently played southern airs when
southern soldiers were in town, to
cheer them. On one of the shelves of
the store were several yards of calico,
which had been promised this little
girl for a dress. This was quite an
expensive dress, then. for calico was
sold at 81 a yard, and was not easy
to get even at that price When the
soldier took this calico and threw 1t
across his horse and rode away, the
little girl cried SO hard that a young
officer heard her. He hurried into the
store, but the little girl could not tell
why she cried. A neighbor. a young
girl of 20, hurried across the street,
and told the officer that a soldier had
taken the calico intended for the little
girls dress. The officer called the men
to HALT" He demanded that the man
who had taken the calico should i'm
mediately bring it to him. A burly
soldier got. of his horse and looking
ashamed, handed the booty to his ON
GER, who, with a bow, gave it to the
little girl. She could hardly believe
her good fortune when she held the
calico in her arms. This young officer
became the celebrated Gen. Joe"

The following are extracts from q
letter from q sergeant in the Seaforth
highlanders. dated Dec. 10. says the
London Telegraph: '"The Black Watch

the position. but we had to retire and
simply run for 1t, the enemy blazing
at US all the way and cropping our
fellows like skittles from their SPLEEN

it but to lie down and pretend to be
dead, and this I did about $3.50 a. M,
till, I presume, 6 p. m, the sun pour

a drink Of water all day, and dare not
stir hand or foot, and expecting every
minute to be my last. I could hear
nothing but the cries, moans and
prayers Of the wounded all around me,
but I daren't so much as look up to see
who they were. Shots and shells
were going Owe me all day from the
enemy and Jul side, and plenty Of
them striking within a yard of mel
mean bullets, not shells-and yet they
never hit me. I believe some Of the
fellows lost their heads and walked
right up to the enemy's place, singing
till they dropped them. One youngster
lying close to me said he would make
a dart for it about 8 p. m. I tried my
best to persuade him not to, but he
would go. A couple of seconds later
l could hear them pitting at him, and
then his groans for about a minute,
and then he was quiet. About this
time. the sun began to get fearfully
hot, and I began to feel it in the legs,
which were now very painful and
swollen, because I was parched with
thirst. Most of the wounded round
me had ceased groaning by this time.
AS it began to get dark I managed to
wriggle my body through the shrub
further back, and after I had been at
it ONE time, on looking UP, found my
self right in front Of another in
trenchment of the enemy. They sent
few rounds at me, but they struck
just in front and ricocheted over my
head. After a bit, it getting darker, I
got up and walked by, and there was
nothing but dead highlanders all over
the place."

Tho Proper Caro- o. tho Feet.

Au0 1EOp0E NUE0 VI IL GOoNs =
Some women know by instinct how
nearly the nerves of their feet are re-
lated to the nerves Of their hearts,
stomachs and brains, and Nine. Calve
is one of them. When anxiety and
hard work press upon her she puts
off slippers and stockings. Letting
her feet breathe is what she calls sit
ting a long hour wriggling her pink
toes delightedly in the sun or running
up and down the room to stretch the
soles. After this she lies down and
has her maid gently chafe the bottoms
of her feet till she drops into a deep
sleep, whente she comes soothed and
vigorous for any amount of work. On
the care of the feet and their connec-
ton with health long chapters might
be written. AS a drawback to physi-
cal strength the construction Of the
foot is next to that Of the corset. How
few of us unstockinged can show a
handsome, well-developed, uncramped
pedal extremity. Toes pressed togeth-
er, joints deformed, aching corns and
bunions, are external evidences of the
tyranny of ridiculous fashions. Look
at the gondola shaped, sharp pointed
shoe, that is only second to the Chinese
footgear which we hold in contempt
Nature revenges itself for such abb
surdity. Following an obstructed cir
culation are headaches, cold feet, palpi-
%tations, functional disturbances and a
general letting down of the tone of the
system. Any physician will assert that,
with habitual cold feet, perfect health
is impossible. Let us correct in u
children the errors of. ignorance
through which we suffer. And what
harm, in the privacy Of home, can.
there. be in the patter of pretty little
bare feet? If there is anything to be
thankful for, it is that, in social evo-
luton, common sense is rapidly break
ing the chains of conventional foolish
ness. Wear the softest slippers always
in the house. Go barefoot yourself,
even. If your family will allow It. To
wear a street shoe after you come in
side your front door is to imprison
your foot SO much longer,a and the more
it is exposed to light and air. the
healthier and more comfortable it will
be. Patent feathers are ruinous to the
feet. Especially when they r built
with high heels and narrow toes. The
feet perspire. the heel throws the
weight on the toes and the poor little
things, all huddled up in a bunch, are
utterly miserable and make you weak.
Soak your feet in cold water, not ice
cold, but coolish. Warm water draws
the blood into the feet. You wish to
reduce the Inflammation and fever by
driving it away. The chiropodists- say
there is nothing like cold water for
sore, tired feet Cold water, besides,
toughens the skin rather than making
it softer. After you have brushed your
pedal extremities with a stiff flesh
brush, cosmoline then comes into play,
to be we'll rubbed into the callouses
and joints. With this sort of treat
ment your feet are kept in such good
condition that they are a positive Joy,
and that, you know, Is worth. living
for.
