The Country Paper.

From Golfers Weekly.
The homing instinct in the blood is felt
by ard-headed, shrewd and practical men,
engaged in business in great towns, and ap-
parently free from inconvenient sentiment.
Yet, though they con their newspapers with
keen and eager relish, they throw them
aside when read, while some little sheet,
not particularly well printed, and put to-
gether as if jumbled in scrap basket, is
slipped into the pocket and carried home.
This is the country paper, published up
country, and filled with intimate personal
details, the pleasant and kindly neighbor-
hood gossip which goes on at the postoffice
and around the station when the train
comes in. Here are familiar names; the
story Of life in farming community, re-
lated with minute care; the goings and
comings of kindred and acquaiutances; the
sales, the purchases, the casualties, the
changes, all chronicled without much art
or skill, but with closest and most satisfac-
tory realism.
The man may be a millionaire several
times over, but he was once boy on the
farm, and he will be subscriber to the
country paper as long as he lives.

Care of the Feet.

Very few women have well-shaped feet,
or if they have, they are generally am
noyed with corns or swellings. When we
consider how valuable it is for men and
women to have normal feet, it is amazing
how they are neglected. A Boston law
yer, who has very advanced ideas on this
subject, allows his children to wear moe
casins until they are old enough to 60 to
school, Then their shoes are made of the
softest kid, and with soles the width Of
the foot. In summer they resort to their
moccasins again, and the result. is that all
of his children are said to have as perfect
feet as baby Some say that the cause
of great deal of trouble is wearing black
stocking. The heat from the dye causes
an irrant poison, even though the foot is
not discolored The feet should be care
fully bathed every night and then rubbed
with little alcohol. The result Of this
care would be very beneficial.

During the summer and autumn both in
the country and city the eyes and lids Of
ten become iDaamed from dust, which de-
stroys your comfort as well as your looks;
it is therefore god thing to know that
the application of so simple remedy as
borax and water will greatly relieve and
improve their appearance. 1t is best to
have the water as warm as can be borne
without pain. This application is also good
for stys.

Making Ducks Lay Black Eggs.

According to writer in French scien-
tifc paper, ducks fed on acorns, which
they will eat ravenously, not unfrequently
lay black eggs. The reason is that their
eggshel is naturally rich in iron, and this
combines with the tannin in the acorn to
produce good, fast black The same
paper states that if fowls are fed on boiled
lobster shells they viii lay bright red eggs.

that the amount OF sleep obtained is a most i'm

usually the first symptom of nervous breakdown.
Normal sleep is a condition of mental and physi-
