 able by Natures Pests

From Alnslee's Magazine. South Ali riea exports hides, wool and mohair and the ranchman would reyel in riches were it not fer the various pests that decimate his docks and herds
 The most deadly one is the rinderpest l cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa soUthWard, leaving wake of Whitened bones. In travelling through Natal saw fifty oxen lying IeaI about spring. so suddenly had the o,scase attacked them. 1t was al <, most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such eharge, and q piethOric German tfaYel, CT who called out in q loud tone for roast ~fnderpest2 in the railroad cafe 2t De Aar Junction Cape Colony, had e be picked up in fragments. Dr
 Koch and other eminent specialists tried 10 stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect ..szssem9lfag our common house fly, bur ;isree til15s as large. It's bite viii kiGjfi horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange 70 say, does not affect q wild anima
 or Q human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant. which is about quarter Of ap inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen. which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length
 This insect is particularly h8Eazsing in Rhodesia At BuluWayo my travelling companion inadvertently let his boo1s on the floor after turning in at night
 and he arose next morning to find tho Qppers carefully separated from the toles. Lucky you didn', leave your clothes on the facr." was the hote1- keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through af fthing but metal and for that reason much Of the build Ing is done with corrugated iron, The anthill is one of the conspicuous land marks In travelling over South Africa

woMEN,s WELL-snop FEET.

woMENs weLL-snoo FEET.
In choosing winter boots, perfect fit
should be demanded. This means that
absolute comfort shall be assured, for It
is impossible to move gracefully In shoes
that bind the feet or c0nfine the toes.
The long, narrow shoe that permits the
sole of the foot to rest comfortably
should be chosen. The leather should
be soft and pliable. Care should be ex-
ercised In choosing shape adapted to
the instep. Every woman should have
two pairs Of walking shoes and she
should wear them alternately. This
rests the feet, and 1t gives an opportunity
for the servant to polish them. But no
help Is necessary In keeping shoes In
good condition to the girl of moderate
means, as there are so many new black
ings sold that give high polish without
the expenditure of any effort that any
one can look after her own f0otgear.
The vogue Of the liquid polish has
caused many sloveply habits. The
woman who goes forth with her toes
shining and her heels dingy Is to be seen
on every side. When she steps on street
cars or lifts her dress skirt, her ostrich
like mind Is revealed to fault-hnding
men, for the borrowing of masculine
styles has made husbands and brothers
intelligent critics of women's dress.
II the laced shoe Is worn the strings
should be taken out and rubbed with a
flannel cloth when they are not changed.
Then the shoe should be polished to the
uttermost part. The edges Of the soles
aswell as the heels and toes should receive
attention.
The careful woman has last upon
which she keeps her extra pair OF shoes.
All slippers and dainty footgear, while
not in use, should be stuffed with tissue
paper or curled hair. Special pains
should be taken with the patent feathers
that are worn for dressy occasions
They are prone to crack and there is
nothing worse than q cracked patent
leather except glove with the finger
ripped.
Although it requires time to fuss over
ones clothes, economy Ia the result In
the end, for things that are taken care OF
last long time. No one should grudge
time spent on the feet, for they soon
show the effects of neglect. An ill-fit'
ting shoe prepares the owner for much
needless pain. 1t is worth while to
consider symmetry and comfort. The
short-skirted woman who has foot well
shod will be an attractive person and
one whose common sense and good
judgment will command public admira-
tion.-Argus.
