BAREFOOT CHILDREN.

Several years have passed since the
practice OF allowing children to go
barefoot first started among the we'll
to-do classes in England. consid-
cradle impulse was given to II by the
announcement in the press that little
Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstones favorite
grandchild. was allowed to run about
most of the time without either shoes
or stockings. Since then the fad seems
to have spread in remarkable faah!on,
and, judging from the latest reports,
1t bids fair to assume the proportions
OF craze. Already IL Is the subject
OF correspondence in the newspapers,
and has provoked the solemn hilarity
of Punch. Originally II was only In
the privacy of their homes or gardens
that the little daughters of luxury frol-
licked with naked feet, but now II is no
uncommon experience, even in the
London streets. to see dainty toilets of
silk and satin ending, somewhat incon-
gruously in bare toes. As a protection
against broken glass and other dangers
OF the sidewalks, scandals, of the old
Roman pattern, are worn, and IL Ia
said that many Of the principal shoe
stores are doing a lively business in
these articles Perhaps the most Curl
Gus result of this latest whim Is the
sharp conflict OF opinion. which it has
excited, among the physicians. Some
members of the profession, adopting
the popular theory maintain that the
barefoot habit not only is healthful,
but insures the proper development,
and consequent beauty, of the exposed
| member, while others hold that II is a
dangerous and needlessly risky expert
ment. which, in any event. must pro-
duce large, ungainly, splay feet. In
support Of their theory, they argue that
the feet of savage races are generally
of vast and unsightly proportions. That
is question for the anthropologlsts:
but any one with eyes In his head may
be convinced that there are plenty OF
well-formed feet among the shoeless
urchins of the cities.

A LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
HOME WHERE DRUG VICTIMS MAY
BE CURED.
To Re Erected on the Farm on which
the Martyrcd President Was Born
Patients TO Be Treated Free of Charge
IL Is Said.
Especial Letter.)

The farm in Kentucky on which
Abraham Lincoln was born and where
his earliest years were spent is to be
turned into resort for the cure OF
victims of the alcohol and drug hab-
its. st. Luke's Society. Of Chicago. mas
acquired possession of the property,
and is going to erect upon 1t num-
ber of buildings, where .he victims or
liquor and drugs may be treated and
cured. Work on the buildings Will be-
gin in the spring and the society ex-
poets to raise and expend S25O,OOO be-
fore it's plans are fully carried out
The institution will be entirely free,
and will be supported by an endow-
ment fund. DR.. Struble, of Chicago,
one of the directors OF the society, has
secured an option on $50 acres OF land
adjacent to the Lincoln farm, and the
latter consisting of 10 acres, has been
turned over to the society by the for
mer owner, A. w. bennett. of New
York After the first building is erect
ed some of the patients who are cured
will work on the other buildings.
"The home" says DR.. Struble, will
be memorial to Lincoln, and will be
the greatest temperance project ever
undertaken in this country. The num-
Der of patients it will be able to treat
in few years will be unlimited. We
propose to put up several buildings or
a substantial character, and the num-
Der will be increased as the number
Of patients increase.
THE cabin in which Abraham Lin
coin was born, which was originally
on the farm and is now at the Buffalo
Exposition, will be returned to its old
site. The cabin in which JEFF Davis
was born, 100 miles from Hodgens-
Vile. viii be placed by its side
The St Luke Society has home in
Chicago where victims are treated. The
police send human wrecks to the So
ciety and the jails also furnish pa
tients. Quarters are maintained where
the rich can be luxuriously treated, but
in such cases payment is expected. One
eastern banker when presented with a
bill for 500 gave his check for $1,000
instead, and when, after reaching
home. he found that he had no desire
for drugs or liquors, he sent the So
ciety an additional $1,000.
The mode of treatment is a secret
and most peculiar in its working. On
entering the institution the patient is
given a strong purgative. Then three
injections OF darkcolored liquid are

made into his arm. After this he is
taken upstairs and placed in charge
of a nurse, with other unfortunates to
keep him company. The black fluid
is injected into his arm four times a
day. He is given tea and toast twice
a day and soup once day. That is
the whole treatment.
But the patient does not know that
he is being treated. He does not even
know where he is. The back fluid
which has been injected into his arm
produces hallucination. He may be
fighting Tagalogs in the Philippines;
he may be playing football. His ex-
perience may be singing in church
choir; he may be pleasant or the re-
verse. II is generally pleasant
The delusions are caused by the
medicine. When the patient ceases
taking it his mind is as clear as g bell
in short time. All appetite for drugs
or liquor leaves him; his ambition re-
turns and he finds himself a man once
more.

FACTS ABOUT OLD LACE.

In fixing the approximate date OF
any given piece of lace II is well to
remember that machine-made thread
was not used until after the beginning
of the 18th century Before that time
the threads ran in length OF about 20
inches. for the worker could stretch
no farther than her distaff. and bad to
break of and join again; II after un-
raveling some 25 inches OF thread no

PASSING OF THE VEIL

King Edward aud Queen Alexandra

expired, and their royal highnosses will
hereafter be taken I'm the ermine and

The Queen has laid aside her veil OF
Grape upon which the crown posed so
Jauntily IN the spring and summer, and
now she wears the most beautiful cos
tunes IN yari-colors, though for the
most part in gray. as her majesty Is
very partial to that shade. The King
will hereafter don his army uniform
or wear citizens clothes, as may please
him. but the heavy deal black OF
mourning will not be noticed. says the
Philadelphia Press.
The last mourning photo Of their
maJesties shows them In full regalia,
but with the weeds upon them. The
King, ever gallant. holds the Queens
fingers In his own, and the Queen
stands just a little in the background

sweet-faced as ever. but trile thin.
Though woman past middle life, she
still holds her own and is now. as she
has been for the past generation. the
prettiest royal lady In Europe. Their
mourning picture is TO be perpetuated

Roman Antiquity to he Restored.

Anyone who has visited Rome can
not fail to remember the mysterious
covered passage-about which so many
possible and impossible stories are told
which connects the Apostolic Palace
and the castle of st. Angelo. For some
time IL has been entirely neglected,
and after the taking OF Rome 1t was
cut through to destroy the connection
between the Vatican, which remained
in the hands OF the church, and the
castle, which was used as fortress by
United Italy. Now, at last, restora-
tions are about to be commenced, and
1t will then be one of the most inter-
esting sights in Rome. Most OF the
work of this passage. which is rooted
over, and has small loopholes TO give
light. was done by the orders OF Alex
