it. The second year there are schools to teach the act, and every third-rate circus can put on the great act if it cares to. Danger-loving young men in every quarter of the globe now spend their winters in inventing new sensa tions for the circuses of coming years. Two additions to the stock of feats have already been announced. First comes a man who proposes to Hoop the loop on roller skates. This should be an interesting act to watch because of the likelihood that the man will fall on The tornado" is even more Spect2cu- lar. There is a Scaffold 50 feet high for the start, two wire ropes to serve as q track leading down, double loop of wood at. the bottom and a net at the wooden pathways end. 7The performer gets inside of hollow rubber sphere andsthe assistant places the ball on the two parallel ropes and gives it q gen tie push. It goes down, makes two rev olutfons in the loop and finally bOunces into the net. when the performer steps out giddy but uninjured. Twice around the loop is the best performance yet. It staggers the imagination to conjec- ture what the coming years will bring when so many creative intellects are applying themselves to the subject New York Post

THE PASSING OF THE SANDAL.
Wcarers of Them IIia ble to the Mi
 crobeS of Disease.

The sandal season is we'll established at the seaside resorts. but in town q revulsion has taken place and fewer children are seen this summer shuff1ing along with unclad legs and feet than there were this time last year or the year before. Thoughtful mothers have in fact decided against this form of footgear for their little ones
 The ease and comfort of the sandals is not to be denied. and much of the risk mothers let their children run in wearing this apology for shoe is ob- viated by the addition of socks or stockings.
 There is distinct danger to which the wearers of sandals are liable namely, the microbes of disease which readily lodge between the nails and the sensitive flesh of the toes. That the nails Of the hands are deathtraps in some instances is a well known fact to medical men, who have traced the carrying of infectious complaints from one place to another to this source, and in equal measure the nails of the feet may prove as potent cause of the spread of illness
 Many mothers who have given san- dals fair trial for their children have another complaint against them They spoil, or at any rate mar the shape of the growing foot. There is nothing more exquisitely beautiful than d baby foot, unless, indeed, it be d baby hand But the foot requires the reasonable support and proper restraint of a shoe to keep it perfect and this support and restraint a sandal does not afford, so the little foot 'splays'' or fattens: it loses it's chubby contour and dainty coloring; it becomes a hardened and ugly little foot instead of the soft sweet thing it was before it was expected to meet the rigors Of the pavement and the elements merely encased in straps | and a leather sole.
 |, Sandals are of various patterns, and some are less harmful than others. The most hySenic encaSe all the toes, the next best protect the big toe, and the most dangerous leave all the toes to absorb or contend against every i'll. It is most esential that the big toe should De protected. because. owing to its prominence and size, it is sure to suffer most severely from contact with stones. from tripping up" from falling ! bodies, and any other things deterrent
 to the well-being of the foot.-New

THRILLING CIRCUS ACTS.
Each Year the Effort Is to Secure More
 Startling Sensations.

It was about three years ago that the circus performers passion for making human gyroscope of himself became an acute mania. In most of it's feat ures the circus of today is the same as the circus depicted on the Assyrian monuments. There has been. however, one innovation in the last half decade. It is absolutely necessary now for ev- cry first-class circus to contain some peculiarly hair-raising feat performed with wheels or some sort of whirlng things on some rather elaborate piece of apparatus which can be built up i'll the middle of the ring. First it was the descent of a long flight of steps on bicycle, next the ascent of narrow spiral without any hand rails on sim gle wheel, then the thrilling Hoop the loop" then the riding of a bicycle around the inside of a verticle cylinder.
 For the first year a newly invented feat is usually one mans property. be- ing SC difficult that nc one else can do

SENATOR DEPEW'S AGE.

The question of the age of Senator Chauncey Depew was under discussion when one of the party. who was ap- pealed to as most likely to know, an swered: II cannot state positively. and caH only approximate to it through a story heard. It seems that after the senator's marriage and his return from Europe. the happy couple went to pass few days at Peekskill- on- the Hudson, the home of his boyhood. Upon their arrival. Mrs. Depew sat down on the piazza and expressed her delight at all her surroundings, saying: I shall never tire of the bautiful spot, with its grand old mountains and majestic river suppose, senator, when you were a boy it was much wilder and more primitive. Was the railroad then completed?
 :: 'Railroad?' exclaimed the senator why. bless you. my dear. when I was a boy there was neither railroad nor river here'"

THE COUNTY TAX RATE
Will Be Considerably Less for This
 Year.

The board of supervisors yesterday sat as board of equaliza ton, heard the complaints of those who thought they had been assessed too much, and fixed the tax rate for the year at $40 on each s100 That is 21 cents below the rate of year ago. The rate for territorial purposes fixed by the terri torial board is s1.O5. The county rate is S1.35. Last year the county rate was S1.413 and thereafter for territorial .pur- poses S1.37.
 The matter of taxing the banks was also finally disposed of. the board act ing upon the opinion of District At torney Baker that the banks could be taxed in full for the amount of their capital stock but not for any real eS tate or for the surplus.
 A representative of the Tempe Bank was before the board to protest against the plan saying that on account of the nature of the stock of his bank which took it's value in part from the accum- ulation of the surplus it would pay q greater proportionate rate than any of the Phoenix banks. The board could not see its way to make a discrimina- tion in favor of the bank of Tempe and the assessment was allowed to stand
 The question of the assessment of livestock was also brought up and a nice problem was presented. In one case it was found that lot of cattle, though they had come into the DOS session of their present owner before June l. had probably been assessed in the hands of the man from whom he had bought them, but that fact co,Id not be ascertained without finding the first owner.

PREVALENCE OF HIGH BELTS.
Five Inches of Material Used in the
 New Girdles.


 New Circles
 The high belt will come in with the fall skirt.
 It is gradually making it's way with every costume on smart women.
 The entirely round waist is seen more than ever before, whether with q mar row or high belt
 There are figures that simply cannot be rounded off in this way with any advantage to the woman, and for them the wide belt is shapely pointed at the lower edge.
 Steadily, steadily, the belts are grow ing higher. and five inches of material is featherboned into a girdle on some of the new blouses. Of course. the blouse droops over the belt. Unless it does. the effect is awkward
 Just now, of course the narrow belt is by no means unfashionable. I am simply telling of the way the winds blow
 The one-inch belt is rarely seen, and the pointed belt, in a three-inch width, is gaining more in favor each week.
 There is more trouble in making these belts than in the others, for they need careful adjusting and stiffening or IedlnSTDOne.
 Even the ribbon ones are lined with China silk or lawn, with an interlining of book muslin. Some of them are mere ly lined with the silk, with four strips of featherbone in front and at back. The black belt is not as much in favor for everything as it was. White, all brilliant colors, especially red, and i light russet belts are preferred to black ones. Even on thin black gowns colored belts are worn in preference. As sep arate collars are not worn on well-made | blouses, oqe is often able to carry out | any color effect at the waist, but if there is a touch of color at the top of collar that. of course, must be the guide.
 l The conventional sash is not seen as much as one supposed that it would be. | Smart gowns have the high, elaborat te | girdle instead; and sashes tied in a | bow with long ends at the back are left | to little girls and 16-year- old maidens. The one sash that is kept in favor has girdle around the waist of colored net, mounted on taffeta, then a French rosette with a fancy button at back and two very long ends with much l trimming a the bottom.-Philadelph

HOME OF THE GAIETY GIRL.
Noteworthy History of the London
 Theater Just Closed.

The Gaiety theater in London, which has just ended a prosperous existence of 8 years, is interesting to thcatergo- CTS as the home of the original "Gaiety Sirl' who added so much to the joy of living in American cities.
 Other incidents in the career of the theater that make it interesting to Americans were the first English ap- pearances there or W J. Florence and his wife. of Henry E. DiXey, Nat Good win and John T. Raymond,
 The theater wasSopened on Dec. 21. 1868. on the site of the old Strand music hall. In the earlier years of the thehter's existence the Programmes; were not wholly confined To: hurlesdue, and. some of the actors who appeared there then were Henry Irving. John l.. Toole, Xde- laide Nelson, Horny Neville and Madge Robertson.
 Rurlcsque soon became the regular policy of the theater\ although dramas | were occasionally acted. and the Com edie Franchise company made it's only appearance in England at this theater | John Holl1nSshead was the manager Of ! the theater until 1886; and It must be said that during the season of bur- 1 lesque there the Institution was no 1 credit to the drama.
 Men about town in London. decrepit earls and rich 4ordlings, had access to the stage as freely as if they were ac- tors in the performance. The pretty women in the chorus paid little or no attention to their work, left during inc performance if they were so inclined and were said to ignore for months at time the envelopes containing their salaries.

AN ART MASTER

He gathered cherry-stones, and carved them quaintly Into fine semblances of flies and flowers: With subtle skill, he even imaged faint ly The forms of tiny maids and ivied towers. His little blocks he loved to file and polish: And ampler means he asked not, but -despised. All art but cherry stones he would abolish, For then his genius would be rightly prized. For such rude hands as dealt with wrongs and passions And throbbing hearts, he had a pity ing smile; Serene his way through surging years and fashions, While heaven gave him his cherry stones and filet
