The most nerve-racking stunt that

bare feet and touch the sharp blades

table without even so much as
scratching the skin on his feet. He
does the same thing with a basket

eggs, without cracking one of them.
He also puts several lighted can
dies in a row and in one Jump snuffs
out every one with his feet. The
candies are arranged about foot
apart and there are half a dozen or
them. He also puts a barrel at one
end Of fairly high table and then,
placing his boy on the table, jumps
over him into the barrel.
The most difficult thing about his
tricks Is, Of course, the moving of his
feet during the jump without being
thrown of his balance. For an or

His jump is one continuous move

that he is able, in making the leap
to bring his feet down lightly on

though two jumps were actually in

saw so many left-eyed passengers In

What do you mean by left-eyed pas

People who use their left eye more

species is not common, and of course,
none but a student in ocular science
would be able to detect, off-hand, the
few who mwe do meet. A left-handed
person advertises his popularity at
once: not so the left-eyed man. AS a

which eye has been used most, but
there are certain peculiarities OF the

Most of us have been blessed by ma

A Plea for the Wooden Shoe.
1--WE have wisely taken to wearing
sandals" says a physician. Il hope
that before long we will learn the
sabot. Do you know that a great many
diseases are due to leather shoes
due TO the wearing all day long Of
tight leather that is often, in bad
weather, water soaked? And do you
know that by the wearing of wooden
shoes, which keep the feet dry and
which do not draw all those diseases
might be avoided? l have several
pairs of sabots, and so have my wife
and children. They cost about 80
cents pair, and keep the feet dry,
without cramping them or making
them unhealthy tender. | believe
that the wisest thing Americans could
do would be to take up the sandal
and the sabot, discarding altogether

years of age. whose home is here, has
Just gone through thrilling battle for
her life. Many another would have
lain down and died, for for twelve long
years she has suffered the most awful
pains.
She had Kidney Trouble and Rheu-

tressing stomach trouble. At last she
got so bad that she could not sleep,
for she ached all over, and was so
lame that she could scarcely walk
She spent over hundred dollors in
different medicines, but only to be dis
appointed, for everything failed to help
her.
At last, however, Just as she was
beginning to despair of ever finding a
remedy. she heard OF Dodd's Kidney
Pills and bought six boxes. She says:
Now. can eat well. sleep we'll, and
am feeling splendid. God bless Dodds
