 -The Brooklyn A. c. has received check for it's portion of the money which it had in the Parsons bank For tunately the club only had small sum in the bank at the time Of the failure and consequently it will not lose much.
 Michael Mulvahill, who boards with Mrs Stark at 595 North River side street, is poorer to-day by about S20Q than he was yesterday. And 1t is his belief that he was perhaps robbed of that sum of money. MT Mulvahill lives on a farm in Winsted during the summer and works on the railroad during the winter. A week ago he returned from Winsted and went to board at 595 North Riverside street. He had saved neat sum of money during the summer. He@is a quiet. temperate and industrious man. Yesterday he went to see his former boss on the railroad concerning so3le work. He returned last night and he was in sad condition. His friends were surprised. Mir Mulvahill was unable to account for his condition. He had been i'll q number of saloons, including several in this section. He thinks he was drugged in one of the places and that he was robbed of his roll of bills.

only q Few of Them Left.

A few individuals of the white
rhinoceros are to be found in Natal
and Zululand, but their number is
very small; it is supposed that not
more than 20 of these animals exist
in the world. Not long ago band of
five was seen by party among
whom was the governor of Natal.
The group was composed of four
adults, among which was powerful
male and an individual of three
quarters growth. On the same day
were seen a group of three others of
the same species. The white rhinoc-
eros is protected as strictly as pos
sible, and it is forbidden to hunt it
under penalty of $3.50 to $500, or
imprisonment; the governor himself
cannot give permission to kill them.
It seems likely that the species will
before long become extinct.

Natures Lessons.

The summer is for the closest pos
sible association with nature; for the
teachings of those simple, every day
truths those wonderful lessons of life
which lie in every wild -four that
blooms, in every leaf that grows, in
every bird that sings, and in every
brook that flows. We leave these
lessons unread, and yet within them
lies more fascination, more mystery,
more marvellous plot, than in the fin

FOR BURNING FEET.
| Sources of Irritation and Proper
Treatment of q DiscOmfOrtinG
Affection.

Many persons suffer from a Pc
culiar sensitiveness of the feet shown
by distressing burning, smarting or
itching, or sometimes by increased
perspiration or throbbing, especially
at night or after any unusual amount
of standing or walking. Toward
evening the sufferer begins to be dis
agreeably or even painfully conscious
of his feet, which feel hot and tired,
and seem to have grown too large for
the shoes, says Youths Companion.
Inspection of the bare feet may
reveal nothing particularly notice.
able, beyond perhaps slight redness
of the skin; or it may show more
or less general eruption, either moist
or dry and scaly, resembling salt
rheum. But this eruption is another
affection altogether from the one now
under consideration; it is a true
eczema, and the distress caused by it
is continuous and only moderately in
creased at night. In the cases of
which we are speaking the sufferer is
usually fairly comfortable in the
morning, and it is only as the day
wears on that his torment becomes
uncomfortable.
The cause of the trouble may be ex-
ternal or internal; it may be found
in lack of proper attention to the
feet, or in the wearing of unsuitable
shoes, or it may be the result of a
constitutional trouble-the so-called
uric acid diathesis.
When the trouble is constitutional,
appropriate dietetic and hygienic
measures must be carefully followed;
but usually relief is to be sought in
local measures.
To some persons with sensitive
skin dyed stockings are very irritat-
ing, while others are tormented by
wooden socks. In such cases the
remedy is obvious. The shoes should
be roomy and not made of patent or
enameled leather, and rubbers should
be worn as little as possible and al
ways removed in the house, even if
one stays there but five minutes.
In the evening the sufferer should
immerse his feet in cold water for q
few minutes, and then, after drying
with a soft towel without friction,
put on clean stockings and different
pair of shoes from those worn dur
ing the day. This will always give
more or less relief, and usually will
bring comfort for the rest of the
evening.
Changing the shoes is better than
putting on slippers, and has the adj
vantage of not exposing one to catch
cold when the floor is drafty. There
will be little danger of that, however,
after the daily cold foot-bath has be-
come an established habit. for this
will not only relieve the local discom-
fort, but will also tend to strengthen
the entire system and render it more
resistant to noHous influences of all
kinds.

New Rapid Fire Pistol.
z. A. PAYNE

The United States board of ord.
nance and Notifications has recon-
mended that $4,000 be allotted for
the purchase of 1000 of the automat-
&c pistols which recently made such
wonderful record in the tests at
Springfield armory. The sum allot-l
ted is sufficient to furnish five Of.
these pistols to each troop Of cav.
airy IN the service. At the recent
tests OF the pistol 80 shots were fired
IN about 1874 seconds, rate of fro
OF l16 shots a minute. This is dou-
ole the rate obtained from any other
automatic pistol.

TO COOK oKRA AND SATISFY.
Fine Vegetables for Soups and They
Should BE Properly Pre-.
pared.

Cut the okra into small, round
pieces, the thinner the better. Slice
small onion. Put tablespoonful
of butter into a hot skillet; turn the
okra and onion into this, with little
salt and pepper for seasoning. Stir
well and cook till done, being careful
not to scorch the vegetables, says La
dies World, New York.
Equal parts of okra and tomatoes
stewed together, and seasoned with
butter, pepper and salt, make a very
nice dish. Or the okra and tomato
may be put into very small baking
dish and scalloped with layer of
bread or cracker crumbs on top.
Satisfy should always be cut in
lengthwises trips, not in small round
slices, as we usually see it. This Sc
cret I learned from an old German
gardener, and presume it is the way
the vegetable is cooked. Cutting it
lengthwise improves the flavor won
derfully. The fibers that carry the
sap run lengthwise, and the less these
are cut the finer the flavor will be.
If the roots are very long, you may
have to cut each one in two to get
the pieces into the saucepan, but do
the rest of your cutting lengthwise.
Okra is fine vegetable for soups.
It should be cut into thin slices and
dried in the sun in August. When
it is "as dry as chip" put it into
clean paper bags or glass jars and
store it away for winter use. Used
in soup it has all the color and flavor
of the fresh vegetable.

tails which make up the whole. Re-
finement is best secured in simplicity
of treatment and the use of delicate
holdings and forms rather than IN
richest decorations. If our means are
limited, it is better to concentrate our
efforts upon handsome front door
and entrance, or for the interior IN
the staircase or fireplace in the prin-
cipal room. Cheap stained glass is
vulgar, but handsome stained glass
window may be appropriately used in
hall or bath room or sometimes in
odd windows in room.

Flower Hats for summer.

Toques and small hats made of
flowers continue to be favored by
La Mode, but milliners have to exer-
else their ingenuity and make them
as varied as possible, since the whole
salers are placing on the market
good assortments of these articles
which find ready sale at the stores.
Among the latest novelties in this
line are the toques composed of
geranium flowers and leaves. Nine.
Reboux made one the other day in
white geraniums and brownish-green
leaves, slightly powdered with white;
red geraniums or pelargoniums are,
however, more usual. Cherry leaves
and punches of flowers and fruit
make pretty toques. Others have the
low crown covered with blue or pink
ish blue forget-me-nots, and double
Gordon of the gray-green foliage
round the brim. Tulle is also pro-
vided, sewn all over with small flow
ers, such as violets, cowslips, forget
me-nots, hyacinth bells, or the petals
of roses, which may be draped &C
cording to fancy, on hat or toque.-

which has an attractive appearance
from all sides. The plans show COM
pact arrangement, while convenience
has been the first consideration in the
designing. Success in this, combined
with q neat, well-proportioned ex-
terror, gives us a combination which
goes to make it attractive to all, and
suitable for erection anywhere. For
a person of moderate means wishing
a pleasant home, with the interior
comforts and conveniences it contains,
we can with confidence recommend
this design. 1t is quite modern and
contains fair share of the modern
conveniences.
