iouable ladies will ever become sensible
enough to take to sandals even for the
seaside
"They are too vain, and their feet are,
as rule, not pretty enough to bear ex-
posure. Besides even If they were so in
clined, the bootmakers and the hosiers
would hardly encourage them in their
ideas, as 1t would bode i'll TO their pros
perty.
but 1 do firmly believe that the fash
ion of letting children run about in SAN
dals during the summer months, now
that 1t has at last got a start, will so on
steadily growing in favor until it be-
comes quite general; and / am heartily
glad to think of 1t, for if the feet of our
children are allowed to develop in "a
natural and sensible way we shall have
more men and women who can walk
gracefully and well, instead of the Grip
pied beings one comes across almost at
every lturn-peopie who walk timidly
along owing to corns, bunions or ten
der feet, which are, in nine cases out
OF ten, the result of clumsy, ill-itting or
tight boots.
you probably do not realize that
scarcely l per cent. of the people you
pass in the streets have perfect feet.
assure you there is scarcely a more de-
fective part of the average civilizd hui
for one, look upon this barefoot fad,
as it is termed, as pregnant of great
possibilities as far as the future gener-
ations are concerned; and l trust that it
will continue to grow in favor"
Another physician who was interview
ed, however, took an opposite view Of
the question.
II will not utterly condemn the idea"
he said, but l would at least point out
ha% ffz A,.ax aaolye
Well as its advantages. You must bear in
mind that the foot of the well-bred child
is a very tender thing, and no amount
of running will ever make the cuticle
as hard as that of savage child, for
instance.
II think therefore, that the risks run
of getting dirt which may be poisonous
into scratches of the feet owing to their
being partially exposed or the danger
of getting pins or tin-tacks into the feet
for there Is no house in the kingdom
where stray pins or tin-tacks will not
get scattered among the carpets-are
greater than the thing is worth, for
poisoned blood is thing which can never
be properly cured.
Besides, what Is the good of 1t in the
long run for sooner or later these san
daled children will take to wearing the
ordinary footgear OF conventionality,
when the ill-effects. if any, will be ex-
aggerated, for they will begin wearing
boots and socks or stockings at an age
when it is not so easy for the body to
adopt new methods of colthing, more es-
pecially on account of their having
known the greater freedom OF sandals.
THAT is only one phase of the ques-
tion but there are others that could be
mentioned; and on the whole, I do not
think the sandal idea will be productive
of much good while 1t might be fruit
full of some harm" The bootmaker's
attitude is one of indifference-he plainly
does not want to be bothered with such
things as sandals.

TO INSPECT DAIRY PRODUCTS.
secretary of Agriculture to Put Re-
cent Act in Force

Washington, July THE AGRICULTURAL
appropriation act for the current fiscal
year authorizes the Secretary of Agri-
culture in his discretion to apply the law
Tor the inspection and branding of live
cattle and products to dairy products in
tended for expectation, the purpose being
TO enable our exporters of dairy products
to give foreign buyers the assurance of
certihcation by the government of the
United States of the purity, quality and
grade of our dairy exports. Sec
ratery Wilson has decided to OK
ercise the authority conferred on him by
establishing in the customs districts of
Boston, New York, Chicago and San Fran
cisco system of inspection of dairy pro-
ducts but first will have experts in these
districts gather all possible data in order
that efficient regulations may be drafted
for the conduct of this new service. A
beginning will be made in tentative way
with the purpose in view of bringing
about practical and an honest system
by which all parties may be property pro-
tected. 1t is stated at the department to
be probable that at an early date the
owners or shippers of products for export
may upon application have the same
marked and certified as to purity and
quality, provided they are above a min
imum grade, yet to be fixed

The kaiser's smIthaeId Hams.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

Emperor William of Germany was ini-
tiated into the mysterious merits OF a
Smtthfield ham several years ago during
the ceremonies attending the opening OF
the great canal at Kiel Capt Robley
Evans. who Is sometimes known as
Fighting Bob" because of his pictur-
esque profanity and the peculiar manner
In which he shivers his timbers was
present on that occasion as the represen-
tative of the government OF the United
States. and in the course of events In
vited the Emperor to dine on board the
flagship New York. IL was purely an
American dinner. and a Smithfield ham
occupied the center of the table, roasted
to the proper degree and stuck as full OF
cloves as st. Sebastian was stuck full
OF arrows. William the Sudden was help
ed to ham four or fve times, and apol-
ogized for the compliment by saying that
II was the best he ever tasted.
why can we not have such hams in
Germany" he exclaimed.
There would be no trouble about it."
retorted the diplomatic Evans, IF your
majesty would remove the restrictions
from American pork"
The Emperors suite turned pale with
alarm at this bold thrust OF the Yankee
sailor, but His Majesty smiled and lis
tened to a dissertation on the subject Of
hams and the peculiarities OF the Smith
field brand. Capt. Evans explained, by
the way. that hams were often spoiled
In the cooking.
This one certainly was not" returned
the Emperor. and would like TO COM
pllment your cook"
I'm send for him, II Your Majesty
pleases." said Evans.
The captains cook on board the New
York was coiored man named George,
who has followed the fortunes OF Fight
ing Bob for many years and when he
WIS summoned to meet an Emperor he
responded In his white cap and Jacket ana
apron.
George" said the captain. the EN-
peror OF Germany desires to compliment
you upon your cooking"
George grinned and bowed with the
grace of Chesterfield and when the
Emperor extended his imperial hand for
him to kiss, George not being IN the hab-
Il of meeting Emperors. grasped II hrm-
~ In his own and gave Il a hearty shake.
The Emperor's aids almost tainted at this
unconscious exhibition OF lese majestic.

ester. A Chapman was a merchant; the
ancestors of the Colemans and Woodyers
sold those Indispensable commodities in
former generations.
Wagners were wagoners and MAYORS
made nails. A Kemp was once a term
for a soldier; a ''Vavassour" held rank
between a knight and a baron. Certain
old-fashioned Christian names, or quaint
corruptions of Them have given rise to
patronymics which at first sight might
appear hard to interpret. Everyone Is
aware that Austin is Identical with Au-
gustin, but the name Austice is not so
generally known to be but shortening
OF Anastasius. Ellis, too, was originally
derived from Elias. Hood in like man
ner, is but a modern corruption of the
ancient Danish Odo. Everett is not far
removed from the once not uncommon
christian name Everard; while even Stig-

THE SANDAL CRAZE.
Opinions Pro and Con on Almost
Bare Feet for Children.

Bare Feet for Children.
From the London Express.
The recent adoption by number OF
well-known society people Of what is
known, as the barefoot fad" for their
children Is forming the subject of much
comment in many quarters and the fact
induced a representative OF Page Six"
to seek interviews with medical men,
bootmaker, chiropodist and an artist
with the object of asceraining their re-
spective views on the innovation.
81 am glad to see well-dressed children
Occasionally walking iabow our fash
ionable squares bare-legged and bare
footed save for a slight sandal" said a
well-known West End physician when
questioned on the subject.
Few people seem 10 be aware what
an Influence the feet have on the health
of people, and of children especially.
Look at the thing from the sanitary
point OF view. Young people are never
stnl. or should not be, II they are
healthy; and In this hot weather, and
the hotter that will be coming, the feet
will be the part OF the anatomy most
likely to be affected.
NOW. with sandals the feet are never
ina damp state, but are constantly kept
dry owing to the action OF the atmos-
phere. Thus iameness from tenderness
and other causes ~ avoided 10 say moth

Of Sunday-school teachers, and they
should be paid salaries.
