To break up n cold. which certainly
disfigures the face or beauty, as well
as valuable adjunct in the removal
of facial eruptions, the nightly foot
bath is invaluable. The largest sweat
glands of the body are located in the
palms. armpits and solcs of the feet.
1t is of primary Importance that the
multitudinoUs outlets should be unclog-
ged. Where facial eruption exists and
the whole attention is devoted toward
the care of the face, every pore is ac-
tive and open to afford the escape of
cIogGing impurities.
This is all wrong. The feet should
be made the gateway for the escape of
effete deposits. The temperature of
the fOOtbath should range from 100 to
10 degrees or as hot as can be en-
dured with comfort. Should there ex-
list chronic prOfuse and offensive per-
SEPARATION, add lump of washing soda
to neutralize the acid emulation. The
feet should he rubbed briskly to draw
the blood down TO the extremities.
Cool the water before Withdrawing the
feet, so that they may not become I'M
duly tender. Rub long and thoroughly
with soft towel.
Good pedal circulation is a foe to
corns and chilblains. Frequent warm
foOtbaths prevent callouses and make
walking a pleasure. For beauty and
complexion take extraordinary care of
the feet.-LedSer Monthly.

Schwab felt all the emotions, but only had
one way Of expressing them all.
He could talk about anything and every
thing in an interesting way. He never tired
his hearers. When he was at Homestead
the first helpers on the furnaces. who suf-
fered a reduction. sent a committee of
twelve ia see Schwab. Joseph Roarson
was the spokesman. When the men filed
Into his office Schwab looked UP and smiled.

W. don't like to have anything knocked
OF our pay" said Roarson.
schwab smiled again. Then he talked TO
the men for half an hour. and finally hand
ed each man Of the dozen a big, fat cigar.
They strolled out OF the Office and went
home.
Roarson had promised his wife a new
bonnet If they gained their point.
You may get that new hat I prom
ised you." he said to his wife when he
reached home" for that glib Schwab has
argued us all into the notion that we're
getting twice as much money now as be-
fore our pay vas cut"
schwab was very generous. He was al
ways giving. II a man was hurt, he al
ways inquired about his family, and saw
that nothing was wanting. When misfor-
tune befell any Of his faithful workmen he
eased their burden so far as he could in a
financial way.

| The old man pulled out the watch and
held it face up 80 as Schwab could see for
himself.
why. that's a fine watch you have
john" said schwab. as he examined It.
"I'l give you $50 for It."
Before Smithson could realize what was
happening. the money was in his hand and
Schwab was some distance away with the
watch in his pocket. Smithson called after
Elm. hurrying up to where he stood.
"Oh. this will never do" said Smithson.
why. this is fifty times what tho watch
cost"
Schwab smiled.
John" he said. 'your watch is worth as
much as you can get for It,"
The billiard-room in schwab's homs at
Braddock became famous for two reasons.
The chandelier was almost pulled out of the
ceiling under the weight of watches and
chains. The room was the scene of many
pleasant gatherings. for schwab entertained
in princely style and always had his friends
gathered about him.

THREE PLAIN CATS OF WONDERFUL. INTELLIGENCE.
Two Of Them Do Remarkable
Tricks in Acrobatics, and the
Other Is Proficient in Three
Languages.

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
II HIS is a story Of three cats that are
much out Of the ordinary. They are
L accomplished cats, and the tricks
they do and the intelligence they display
are quite Of the kind that would make a
sideshow mans heart rejoice.
Two of the cats belong to Gus Rocker. a
grocer. at No. 2201 Dodier street. and II is
from him that they lave received their
education.
Their appearance is that of 10000 other
cats. and. so far as any one knows, none
of their ancestors ever was before the pub
lie as a performer.
They simply are descended from a long
line Of gray cats that for several years
have protected Mr.. Rockers groceries from
the ravages of mice. Their names are
Mick" and Sport" The latter 4, the
better performer: but then Mick IA barely
out of his kittenhood.
The first trick involved considerable pa
thence and agility on the part of the cats.
Mr.. Rocker caught Mick by the tail and
ears and held him high in the air. Sport
leaped over him several times. ~
Then they both jumped through a email
hoop.
A chair was brought, and both mounted
to the top where they sat on their
haunches In the attitude Of prayer This
feat was made very difficult by the rar-
rowness Of the chairs back, which was
hardly half an inch thick.
Mr.. Rocker then took an empty oatmeal
carton, tore out both ends. and, holding it
about three feet from the floor, made the
cats jump through it. The box was hardly
five inches square. but the cats managed
to leap through 1t without once missing.
Mr.. Rocker next put Sport and Mick
on the counter, from which he stenped
about six feet back. At a from
him the two sprans on his shoulders, where
they sat on their hind legs Until permitted
to como down.
The other cat is the property Of Nine.

Sometimes It was no easy matter for

a want Of tact.
In making his famous collection of watch

money. Schwab nearly succeeded in sup

Harvey he was sorry he could not lend him

During the Homestead strike Mr.. 0chwab
was very active. He went about in a cool,
quiet way. and was respected by the most
virulent Of the strikers. He was very busy
when the mills began to resume work. be-
cause the green hands broke things up
generally.
One day Hugh O'Donnell. one of the
strike leaders. dragged Schwab out from
under a big engine to introduce him to a

"sit down and tell me about yourself"
Mr.. Carnegie said to his entertainer as
he rose for the second time to 70.
Before schwab returned to the mill his
employer had gathered from him the whole
story OF his life. He also learned that the
young engineer knew every detail Of the
work at Braddock.
Mr.. Carnegie never forgot that pleasant
hour. nor did schwab ever have reason
to either forget or regret 1t.
From that day the rise Of Charles M.
schwab was rapid. He now enjoys the

distinction Of getting tho largest niay
paid to any man in the world.
And he only celebrated his thirty-ninth
birthday last February.
Schwab arrived in Braddock in 1880 and
went to work in the general store Of
Spigelmire & Rhinert. He had been edu-
Gated at Loretto. Pa, by the Franciscan
monks. and had made a special study Of
engineering.
He tore calico and weighed sugar for
three months. when John Rhinert. who had
charge OF the converting mill. took him
out of the store and put him at driving
stakes. Six months later Schwab was the
chief engineer at the Braddock plant.
While at the head Of that department he
supervised the construction Of eight Of the
nine blast furnaces now comprising the
Edgar Thomson plant, which is the most
extensive group of furnaces in the world.
Schwab was a remarkable man in many
ways. He was known as Charley to all
the workmen. He was always smiling.

Charles NJ. Schwab first won the
affections Of Andrew Carnegie.
Behind the late great steel deal. through
which Charles n. Schwah has become the
head Of the ''bflion-dollar trust" at a sal
ery said to be $4,000 a year. lies a pretty
story known to few.
Almost twenty years ago a beardless
youth. h chief engineer at the Edgar
Thompson steG Works. Braddock. Pa, was
sent with N important message to the home
of MI. Andrew Carnegie. in Pittsburg.
Mr.. Carnegie was Ill at the time. Captain
w. r. Jones. the superintendent at Brad
dock. could not visit him very often because
OF important improvements being made at
ghe works, and which kept him constantly
In harness.

Schwab was keenly disappointed. All the
rich hopes he had been building up crumbled
away. 1t was not because Of his knowledge
of the works. he thought. but because he
could pay the piano, that he had been sent
to Mr.. Carnegie.
Without a word. Schwab seated himself
and began to play. Mr.. Carnegie soon real
lied that the boyish-looking engineer was
a master hand. Melody after melody filled
the room. while the steel magnate closed his
eyes in rapture.
After perhaps fifteen minutes. the musi-
clan rose.
NO! No! Play more for me. Play re
