CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield CMass.) Republican
tInd): North Carolina is now a white
mans state. politically. for, at least, a
generation, provided there is no serious
interference with the new amendment by
the United States Supreme Court; and
this Is scarcely expected, now that the
Mississippi amendment has stood for sew
eral years. The immediate political effect
of the election is of no national conse-
quence, although straight Democrat
will be chosen to succeed the Populist,
Butler in the United States Senate. The
complexion of the Senate on the money
question will not be changed, unless the
new Democratic senator should have anti
silver leaniugs. and in that case, the
change would be for the better"

And with heated & old fire pokers they

And he'd raise the hair of sinners sitting

With his fiery, lurid pictures Of the ever

BEAUTIFUL FEET RARE.

Present-Day Footwear Distorts the Ex-
tremities Abominably.
a man who denies that he is pre-
JUDGED; but claims that he is good
judge Of feminine beauty, declares
that there is scarcely beautiful foot
to- be found among the women of to-
day. The high heels, the exaggerated
curve at the ball of the foot, the stiff
heel stays and the pointed toes, he de-
#clares, have distorted the foot in a
painful and ugly manner The ankles
are mlsshapen. In some cases the
bones are enlarged until they bulge
out SO that every bone is perceptble
The weight of the body thrown upon
the toes has caused them to spread
out. Crowded into pointed toes, they
stick up in clusters Of knotty corns
The foot should be as shapely as the
hand. Footwear should fit as glove
fits the hand. The. perfect foot is
slender, with an arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily. The first.
step toward acquiring a pretty foot is
to wear shoes that fit it comfortably.
The next is to take exercises that will
render the toes strong and supple. Be-
gin by spreading out the toes to the,
utmost extent; then hold four toes still
and attempt to move the remaining
one. Every toe should be straighter
and shorter than the next one and the
arch should be shapely and plant. The
feminine foot of today renders a grace
full carriage an impossibility. And all
because Dame Fashion has decreed
that short, high-heeled, pointed-toe
shoe is the correct thing in dressy
footgear, forgetting that there never
was a human foot built that way.

Does Electricity Kill Trees?

New. Haven Conn Special to Phil
adelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens
who desire,to save the noble elms that
are the pride of New Haven have
threatened to bring suit against the
trolley car companies of the city for
alleged damages to the trees. The as
sertion is made that. the trolley wires
charged with electricity are in some
streets held lin place BY connecting
wires fastened to the trees. and that
charges of electric fluid are sent into
the trees, which are thus killed. The
trolley companies have sought to stave
off damage suits by an offer to test
the scientific correctness OF these as
sertions.s Permission has been obtained
from the department Of public works
and police supervision assured for the
interesting experiment within the
week of charging the big tree in front
of City Hall with the full voltage Of
the trolley system. # the tree dies
score of suits will be filed by prop
erty owners, who have been compelled
to cut down trees. some Of them $50

& Every dairyman should have water
running directly into his barn, and
have the faucets so arranged that It
will require but little work when the
time comes for watering the cows. On
a good many farms the farm well is
still the only source of water, and all
water for the stock has to be taken
from this well. This means q great
deal Of hard work, and, too often, the
stinting of the cows. We have known
farmers that held to this system for
a lifetime. They were not financially
crippled, but seemed to never think
that any other system of watering
stock was possible. Even where the.

Keeping Milk Sweet.

= =
The Agricultural College Of Kansas,
in its advice to milk producers, says:
.'The souring Of milk is caused by the
growth Of bacteria in it !. The fewer
the bacteria in the milk, and the slow
er they grow, the longer will the milk
keep. II cleanliness be observed. the,
number Of bacteria in new milk will;
be few. Bacteria double in nun berse
in new milk every twenty minutes
when it is at blood heat. They grow
slowly at 50 degrees and not at all
at 80 degrees. The sooner the milk
is cooled after being drawn from the
COW the longer It will keep. The usual
way to handle milk is to set the cans
containing it in a trough Of cold
water and stir occasionally until the
milk becomes cool. It may be an hour
or two before the milk in the center
of the can becomes thoroughly cooled.
and all this time the milk SQUIRTING bac-
terra are developing rapidly. It will
pay any Kansas farmer to use cooler.
In these machines cold water flows
