GRAND CANYON

! forest, say about three hundred feet from the rim, and requesting guests and visitors to subscribe their names to same showing which place they favor. So far the rim site has the majority, while few are quite as decided they prefer it should be in the forest. As far as the pleas antest place is concerned the latter is preferable. as the green of the trees is ever restful to the eyes and mind, and especially so to the trav- eler coming off the desert. The grounds around could so readily be transformed into a park. The rim is more desirable for guests who would rather watch the Canyon in its different moods and colorings. In stormy weather it is grand to see the storm playing in the Can- yon-first hugging the walls on the opposite side, then bounding down near the river, again hurriedly ris- ing, leaving beautiful rain bow beneath. This last is a beau tiful sight, but the scene reaches its climax when a glimpse of the river can be had at this time, with the sun sparkling on the water, while the storm is raging about you. The matter might be compromised by building the hotel back in the for est with an observatory up on the rim with pretty walks between them.
 They are busy taking an inven- tory at Bright Angel this week, and if you have no important business with the heads of the different de- partments, it is best that you tip toe lightly around and make your exit as quietly as possible or we do not know what might happen.
 There are a few coyotes that seem anxious to be included in the hotel stock, and we would be glad if they would pick them up in their inven- tory and throw them into the Can yon.
 Perhaps the youngest traveller who ever went down the trail is little Maurice Teed, not yet three years old, who bravely started down the trail with his mother, Thurs day morning. As they expect to be gone several days, he will have a chance to rest before coming back. Mrs. Teed is the wife of our agent here.
 This calls to mind a little boy, only two years old, the writer met upon Valdeo Glacier, in Alaska He and his mother were making their way over that awful trail where so many human lives had been lost. She came from New York in search of her husband. After reaching Alaska she had to walk into the interior, there being no roads at that time. She was taking that long, wearisome jour ney alone with her little hoy. 1 re- call with what sorrow I watched the little fellow as he trudged along on the snow and iCe behird his mother and the guides, for l knew what they had before them.

Hardwood Floors.

Floors that have been finished in
shellac should be kept clean, says The
National Builder, by thoroughly brush
ing off the dust with soft hair or
feather brush or by wiping with a
cloth Of soft texture. If the cloth Is
slightly moist, the dust will adhere to
it more readily. but wipe with a dry
cloth afterward. If any dirt that will
not wipe Off with moist cloth should
be deposited on the floor, wash 1t of
thoroughly with clean (not hot water,
using soap If necessary. which also
cleanse of with water as quickly as
possible and wipe dry.
When the face of the floor begins to
look worn and shabby. after cleansing
on the dirt and wiping dry, II water
has been used. rub the surface all over
nicely with a mixture two-thirds tur-
pentine and one-third raw linseed oil.
To do this saturate soft cloth Of any
kind with the mixture. wiring 1t out
half dry and rub the floor with it even
ly. Do not use the oil SO freely as to
leave 1t standing on the surface to
catch dust To prevent this wipe off
with a clean. dry cloth. After the shell
lac Is worn down to the surface Of the
wood sandpaper it all over evenly with
a No. 1 sandpaper and give 1t another
coat of shellac. after which continue to
keep as before.
Floors finished in plain oil only
should be kept in the same manner as
above. more soap and water being re-
Quired and more frequent rubbing with
the mixture of turpentine and linseed
oil spoken of above.
Waxed floors can be cleansed by
washing Off thoroughly with turpen-
tine and benzine. after which they can
be rewaxed If desired.

In order to have perfectly formed
feet the shoe should hold the foot with
gentleness, without pressure on any
joint. Very narrow soles and pointed
toes should be avoided. The sole
should be Of natural breadth, the heel
broad and of medium height, says The
Household in giving the following ad-
vice:
i frequent change of shoes should
be made, and 1t will preserve the shoes
and the feet. After long walks the
feet should be given a warm bath and
then rubbed with rum or cologne.
Should there be any pain in the soles
or over the insteps battle the spot with
q weak solution of carbolic acid. For
feet inclined to swell from long stand
ing in one position hot sea salt baths
are very good. BY dissolving the fol-
lowing In the bath excellent results
are obtained: Alum, one ounce; rock
salt, tive ounces; borax, two ounces.
The feet should be bathed daily and

fully examined once a week, and loose
skin should be removed and callosities
should be rubbed smooth with piece
Of pumice stone. Nails should be par
ed and cut weekly.
To ease the feet when fatigued rub
the soles with a cut lemon and in
warm weather apply this powder,
which will cure tendency to swelling
or profuse perspiration: Lycopodium,
three drains; alum, one dram; tannin,
thirty drains.
For sensitive feet battle them in the
following footbath for about twenty
minutes before retiring, using it warm:

relieved entirely.
To relieve the pain from an ingrow-
ing nail thrust bit Of absorbent cot

der the ingrowing nail, which scrape
and file down until very thin: Chloride
of zinc, one ounce; muriatic acid, one
dram; nitric acid, one dram.
In early stages Of ingrowing nails
paint them with perchloride Of iron.

A good remedy for tender feet is to
soak them in salt water or bran and
water. Allow them to remain in the
salt footbath for fully half an hour.
This will be found to be an effectual

In the end. Very often the soundest sleeper
changes his position three or four times be-
fore finally settling down. This is one of
the arguments for each sleeper having a
bed to himself.
ORGANS BECOME EMBARRASSED.
IN some attitudes the under part of the
body becomes conSested and the organs be-
come embarrassed. and since to sleep means
complete rest it is essential that the body
should inStinctively change positions until
a comfortable one is found. Bearing upon
this point, one observer advises persons who
suffer from pain in the back on awakening
to lie for a while on the stomach before
arising. thus to counterfeit passive spinal
congestion.
NO matter how restless a person Is be-
fore he goes to sleep. if in the end he gets
into a sound slumber, there is no physi-
illogical reason why his sleep should be un-
satisfactory-that is to say, If he is rest
less before going to sleep and then gets
into a good position and maintains It for
the usual number of hours he Is apt to be
quite rested and refreshed upon waking.
All other things being equal, the man who
Is a good sleeper is a good worker. Hence
1t is said that a man who can sleep we'll
and eat we'll should be healthy.
Sir Benjamin Richardson maintained
that a good sleeper was always the most
durable of patients.
-"Menander went so far as to say that all
diseases were durable by sleep. but whether

which is usually near dawn. Hence Doctor
Graves asserted that between 3 and 4 In

Another curious fact is that the least

TREASURE HELD BY THE SEA.
~ LITTLE KNOWN REcovERIEs OF GOLD AND s1LvER.a.

WRITTEN FOR II SuNDAY REPUBLIC.
The success which has attended the spec
ulators who bought the wreck of the Stand
ard Oil Company's treasure ship off the
New Jersey coast recalls some little known
recoveries of treasure trove on sea and land.
There is, for example, the exploit of a lit
tlet group of English spectators who, in
1857, formed a syndicate TO search for the
richly laden Spanish salleon wrecked In
deep water near Hispaniola.
Vast quantities of bullion were rescued
from their ocean vaults. and adventurous
who risked $50 received the handsome re-
turn of $4,000.
The Crowns share of the find was only
$4,000, but the Governor of Jamaica Q.ord
Albemarle) Melted the huge sum of $3.50 $50.
The astonishing success of that expedition
led to the undertaking of countless similar
ENTERPRISES, most of which were total fall
ures, and none of them had any appreciable
result.
Not many years ago a syndicate attempts
ed to discover the army chest lost by Ma
poleon at the battle of Aboukir Bay, Egypt.
Parts of the sunken vessel were found,
but the chest and its wealth remain at the
bottom Of the bay.
Among the treasure unearthed on land
was the Hildesheim, found IN a trench IN

lodged In the gerlin Museum. include solid
silver plates, pots ana STEW pans OF ex-
