A Tale of Two Shirts.

A discharged soldier, lately re-
turned from the Philippines, tells
tale Of shirt which is too good to be
lost. His company was returning
from a long and tiresome scouting
trip, in which most of the men had
parted with the greater part OF their
wearing apparel, when he saw on a
elothes>line in the grounds Of a resi-
dence adjoining big stone church
two very good shirts, hung out to dry.
As he had at the time only half a
shirt to his back, he proceeded to help
himself to a whole one. Whereupon
a woman came out Of the house and
said to him, in passable English:
"You will pay for that on the judg-
ment day" Madam" he replied. III
you give such long credit. l will take
both Shirts" which he proceeded to
do.-The Argonaut.

The Southern Girl Not Athletic.


The Southern girl does find time to
read, and write, and talk, as we all
know, although she can not fence and
dive, and pays no attention to cricket
or polo. She is apt to take more in

the magnolia tint Of her complexion.
and the picturesque droopiness of her
shady hat than a score in golf, BIZ
cycle gymkhana or rowing match.
These things necessitate inelegant
haste and hustle and the raising Of
voices, all of which the Southern lover
Of grace disapproves. Give her fan
and pretty frock, red parasol and
young man to talk to. and the aver
age Southern girl is willing to let her
Northern sister take all the violent
sports and all the glories thereof. She
may fade faster than does her open

not have as sound constitution. as
broad shoulders and as deep a chest,
but she keeps her hands small and
white and she doesn't learn how to

The increasing demand for copper is
chiefly due to new electrical enterprises
that are constantly being started all
over the world. Recently one firm in
Connecticut secured q contrat for L.
600, 900 pounds Of copper wire for use
on an electric road in India. The
reels upon which the wire will be
wound will require 10, 600 feet OF lum-
ber in their construction. The reels
and wire combined will weigh 1,05o, 900
pounds and will require 27 cars and 2

BEAUTIFUL FEET RARE.

Present. Day Footwear Distorts the Ex'
tre,nIties Abominably.
A man who denies that he IL pre-
iudiced, but claims that he is good
Judge of feminine beauty. declares
that there is scarcely beautiful foot
to be found among the women OF to-
day. The high heels, the exaggerated
curve at the ball of the foot. the stiff
heel stays and the pointed toes. he de-
clares, have distorted the foot in
painful and ugly manner. The ankles
are misshapen. In some cases the
bones are enlarged until they bulge
out so that every bone is perceptible.
The weight of the body thrown upon
the toes has caused them to spread
out. Crowded into pointed toes. they
stick up in clusters of knotty corns.
The foot should be as shapely as the
hand. Footwear should fit as a glove
Ats the hand. The perfect foot is
slender, with an arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily. The first
step toward acquiring pretty foot is
to wear shoes that fit 1t comfortably.
The next Is to take exercises that will
render the toes strong and supple. Be-
gin by spreading out the toes to the
utmost extent; then hold four toes still
and attempt to move the remaining
one. Every toe should be straighter
and shorter than the next one and the
arch should be shapely and plant The
feminine foot of today renders a grace
full carriage an impossibility. And all
because Dame Fashion has decreed
that a short, high-heeled. pointed-toe
shoe is the correct thing in dressy
footgear. forgetting that there never
was human foot built that way.

Chineae Compradorse.

The average Chinamnn possesses a
remarkable memory. He will learn
to make himself understood in almost
any foreign language in less than half
the time it requires an intelligent Eng
lishman or American to make himself
understood in any one Of the many
Chinese dialects. This disparity has
led to some curious anomalies in the
trade of the country. Thus at all the
open ports trade with foreigners is
carried on by means Of middlemen, or
agents, who are always natives. They
are called "compradores." II a for
eign merchant wishes to buy tea. silk,
porcelain or other articles OF native
product, he must do SO through his
"compradore.

The bonded debt of the United States
has been reduced over $5S, 600, 900 in
the past two years, although a war
has been in progress and great deal
of money has been needed in the hand
ling of new possessions. But the re-
duction of the debt is not SO marked
as the reduction in interest. In 1866
the principal of the debt was So, 332,-
331, 207, and the annual interest was
$l46, O6S, 1913. In 1890 the interest-bear-
ing debt was 1925, 513, 10, and the in
terest was S20, 200. In 1899 the
principal had advanced to s1,O47, ,048,- :
$50, and the interest to $40, ,347, 1872.
Now the debt is 1888, ,032, ,070, and the
interest is S29, 1872, 500. With Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines put on
paying basis, it would not be much
for the country to pay it off in two
years, except that much of the funded
debt is in longtime and very low rate
