Yalue of the Footbath.

: To break up cold, which certainly disigures the face or beauty, as well as a valuable adjunct in the removal of facial crEpt.ons, the nightly foot bath is invaluable. The largest sweat glands of the body are located in the palms, armpits ard soles of the feet. It 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 clogging impurities.
 This Is all wrong. The feet should be made the gateway for the escape of effete deposits. The temperature of 11O degrees or as hot as can be en- dured with comfort. Should there ex- ist chronic profuse and offensive per spiration, add a lump of washing so.A to neutraliZe the acid eXudation. The feet should be rubbed briskly to draw the blood down to the extremities. Cool the water before withdrawing the feet, so that they may not become un- duly tender. Rub long and thoroughly with soft towel.
 Good pedal circulation is foe to corns and chilblains. Frequent warm walking a pleasure. For beauty and complexion take extraordinary care of the feet-Ledger Monthly.

Cnaf1v Wines.

Our mirlionaires think $75 gallon for rare old Madeira an utterly impos- sible price simply because their tastes are blunted by champagne, and they care no more for bottle of Welsh Re- serve, Newton-Gordon or Chillings- worth Oglethorpe than for a cheap sherry. In the famous cellars of the Hotel de Vile at Bremen there are a dozen cases of holy wine which have been preserved for 25O years. A mer- chant figures out that if the cost of maintaining the cellars, payment of rent, interest upon the original value of the wine and other incidental charges are considered a bottle of this choice Madeira has cost no less than $2,OO0,- GOO, each glassful $27O,OOO, and single drop could not be sold without loss un. der $2OO.
 It is probable That this very old wine Charles Bellows, our ablest authority on Madeira, says that it becomes "starved' after feeding upon its own lees for 30 or 40 years. Ut seems to me that it is very human and requires companionship," he says. "Demijohns of the same variety should be blended. The marriage of the two wines would probably give the lees more character, and the wine would thus continue to improve. This certainly ought to be done as a tonic after the Madeira has been 50 years in glass."-NeW York Press.

Pecu1inrtties of Asthma,

The peculiarities of asthma are we'll known, and one New York woman thinks that she has more than usual reason to complain of the yagaries of the disease. She had always lived in the lower part of the city on one of the avenues distant from the two rivers and had suffered in no unusual degree from asthma when the weather was not unfavOrable. The doctor was not consulted when her husband bought house in another part of the city, and it is indeed doubtful if he could have foreseen the effect upon her of living in the new ncighborhood.
 It took the sufferer only a few hours to realize that it would be impossible for her to liv" in the new house, which was only a short distance from the North river. Her discomfort became so great that she was compelled at the end of a week to give up all attempt to reside there, and the house that had been built with so much care and ex- pense had to be abandoned.
 Another example of the vagaries of asthma is to be found in the case of a New Yorker who is comfortable enough in this city so long as he lives on the upper stories of a lofty hotel or other residence building, but is in great dis tress so soon as he is compelled to be on terra firma.-New York Sun.

An Impartial Woman.

"This is the grave of tue most impar- tial woman on record" said the guide in Cave Hill cemetery to party who visited the beautiful cemetery the oth- CT day. Away over that second knoll there is lot containing only two graves, and the headstone of each is marked Father
 "The woman who is buried here was married twice, and the two graves in that lot are the graves of her two hus- bands. She tried her best to treat her and even when he died she had no idea of showing any preference. But she was sick when the funeral service of her second husband was held. She di- rected that the partner of her second matrimonial venture be laid by the side of the first, but that enough space be left to bury her between the two.
 By some hook or crook mistake was made. and when she visited the cemetery she found that they were buried side by side, with no space be- tween.
 "Well, sir, she didn't know what to do. She argued that if she should be buried by the side of her first husband it would not be fair to the memory of her last spouse, and vice versa. What did she do! Why, when she died she left request that she be buried in an- other lot, away from both of them, and 1t was needed" - Louisville Courier Journal.

JaDansa Imnrewnabil

The coast of Japan, notwithstanding it's long shore line and numerous har- bors, offers scant allurement to an in- vading army. There is very little beach. The bold crags and bluffs over looking every spot where a modern war vessel can ride at anchor are pro- tected by strong Notifications defended by the most modern guns.
 Yeddo bay, the most feasible blight for invading purposes, needs careful navigation even by steamers of moder- ate draft. When torpedoes are planted, it is simply impregnable, says a writer in Golfers Weekly. When the war with China broke out, small steamer was selected to pilot merchant steam CTS up and down the bay. l remember perfectly the unexpected curves made by this steamer, showing plainly the countless dangers besetting a hostile fleet regardless of the care that. may be used in feeling it's way. No invad- ing army could possibly land. and even if =it-sHeceeded in doing so the rice fields, readily submerged as they are, would aid materially in thwarting the advance and in isolating the enemy. A successful invasion of Japan is simply impossible.

This Woman's Case Wrongly Diagnosed as Heart Disease
 and Consumption.

From Presbytersan Journal, Phila., Pa

From Presbyterian JoLT's0t, Pnato., Eu.
 After years of patient and intense suffering, Miss Gertrude Gilbert, of S201 Dauphin street, Philadelphia, Pa., has recovered her lost health, and is to- day 8 rosy and blooming specimen of young womanhood. She says:
 "I had been sick for a long time, when friend urged me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Previous to this three doctors had treated me. They diagnosed my trouble as heart disease, together with consumption, and prescribed accordingly. All this medical treatment did not benefit me in the least. I was in a terrible con- dition. There was scarcely any blood left in my body. My chief trouble was get up stairs almost went into faint and on several occasions thought was going to die.
 at was at this time that Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills were recommended to me, and I procured box. Before I had finished it began to feel the bene- fit to my health. This gave me en- couragement. I soon was relieved of that shortness of breath and quick heart action which had been my chief trouble. My appetite returned, and was en- abled to do my daily duties with a cheerfulness which had never before experienced. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are all they are represented to be, and to them, and to them alone, do owe my restoration to health"

TransIatOra' Stumbling Blocks.

Some amusing instances of trans lators' misunderstanding are mention ed by the London Daily News. An Italian paper not long ago turned MT. Rudyard Kipling's "Absentminded Beg gar" into a Distracted Mendicant." A fOotnote to the same version explain ed "son of a Lambeth publican' as a reference to MT. Kruger! The trans lator who explains is often lost.
 Another Italian editor who translat- ed a passage from an English paper about man who had killed his wife with a poker added an ingenious foot note to say, "We do not know with cer- tainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a domestic or surgical instrument"
 In the French version of one of Scott's novels Welsh rabbit has to be dealt with. The translator, never hav- ing met with that article of food, nat urally turned it into "un lapin de Gales" Unfortunately he had some doubt whether his countrymen woYld understand this and added lengthy footnote describing how the peculiarly delicious flavor of the rabbits of Wales created a large demand for them in Scotland, whither they were exported in bulk that would compare with the trade of Ostend.

A Saving Quality.


 Gilbert White, the naturalist, was once a university proctor, and of his performance of the office this anecdote is told: "On his rounds one evening White discovered an undergraduate ly- ing on the ground, sleeping the sleep of intoxication, with his outer garments removed and neatly folded up at his side. The proctor awoke him and sent him to his college with an order to appear the next day for judgment. The culprit turned up in a highly con- trite frame of mind. White said to him: You deserve an exemplary pun ishment, but 1 observed one circum- stance which shows you are not wholly degraded. Your clothes were folded up by your side, indicating habits of care and neatness which appear i'm compatible with habitual degradation. I shall therefore say no more.'"

Royal Cn1nPa.

It is always interesting to know what colors are used or selected by royal families as being their very own. To England, the only royal family of mod ern times which has selected 1t, belongs scarlet, and it must be confessed that 1t is most effective color. The royal households of Portugal, Prussia, Swe- den and most of the German princes wear blue, Russia chooses dark green, and Austria delights in black and vel low. According to the usual belief scarlet. as the royal household color of England. was chosen because of the red rose of the Plantagenets. but this is not true. It was taken from the field gules of the royal standard and from Henry's adoption of the scarlet dress of the yeomen of the guard.
 In days gone by 1t was the privilege of the aldermen's wives to wear scar let gowns, but Englishmen having an- nounced in song and story that they never will be slaves the general Eng fish woman of today is never so happy as when she has an entire red gown or coat or some touch of the glowing color about her.

Bismarck on the Throne of France

B1SmaFGk on the ThPOmG O1 FRamces
 Bismarck on the throne of France! Bismarck was once spoken of in that connection. And by Napoleon too! It was during the detention of the de- throned emperor at Wilhelmshohe in 1871, when Napoleon and some mem- bers of his staff were discussing the probability of Napoleon reascending the French throne and news of the do- ings of the commune was brought in.
 "Horrible-too horriblew exclaimed le petit empereur.
 And then, after long silence, he re- sumed, ."I know man who, if on the French throne, would be master of Germany in six months"
 'His name, sireY' asked his nephew, Prince Murat.
 Bismarck" replied the emperor as he turned on his heel.
