From the New York Tribune.
 Minister Wu recently attended the meet ing of an association in Canton, composed of Chinese and foreigners called the Nat ural Feet Society. 1t was like this ire pressible humorist to begin his speech by solemnly asseverating that he had never allowed any daughter of his to bind her feet. admitting, however, that he had no daughters To be sure his wife had small feet. but he confided to his hearers that he deferred marriage three years hoping for wife of suitable rank with natural feet but when his parents could find none he had to marry one with bound feet or remain single. His wife now thinks as he does about the folly of ancient customs. But it is very difficult to unloosen feet once bound, though l can tell you sub rosa my wife is trying to unloosen her feet. When she heard of this meeting she urged me to come, and she has authorized me to say she will give a small contribution of s100 to the society,""

than which you can have no better. When
warmed it will relieve ne,lralgia's pains

More dainty still is the rose pillow,

Then, again, there is the clover pillow.
Clover can be had for the picking in any
country spot. You dry the red and white
blooms the same as the rose petals, and
they retain for long time scent SINH

The favorite pillow with most people
and really one of the most desirable, is
the one made of pine needles. The
palsamic breath of the pine woods ling

nostrils. Such pillow is valuable pos

troubles or any tendency toward them.
In making these pillows, each ant

to say filmy, material for the covers in
order to permit free exhalation of the

THE OLD AUTOMOBILE.

written In the Year 1s5o.)
Out there in the sun and rain it stands,
A ghost of the long ago;
In the summer blistered by the heat,
In the winter white with snow:
in heap of rusty scrap forlorn,
Where the nettlewort is high,
It rests SO silent and so still,
In the dreams of days gone by.
A field mouse nests in the moldy bed;
A hungry grasshopper steals
The scaling paint. and spider weaves
A web on the ancient wheels;
Ahd sometimes, up on the shaky seat
Alights curious crow
Some old chauffeur to his place returned,
A ghost of the long ago!
And sometimes little children climb
Up into the rickety thing,
And make believe that they speed away,
AS they laugh and shout and sing;
And then dream of day gone by,
And the old wheels catch the thrill
OF the day my old sweetheart and l
Went dashing down hill!
The rusty rods, and the chains and tires
All. grandfathers are they
OF the fieeter steeds that thunder by
On the smoother roads to-day!
But 1t must sit-as ! do here,
An old and worn-out man.
And dream of the scenes of long ago,
And the races that 1t ran!
In a heap of scrap and nettlewort.
Half-hidden from the eye,
1t stands forlorn and silent, while
The years are passing by;
In the summer blistered by the sun,
In the winter hoar with snow
Out here with me in the last long stop
And the dreams of long ago!

SOUVENIR OF NEW POPE.
Old Coat of Plus Z. to Clothe Wax Fig
ure of His Holiness In Paris
Museum.

Plus the Tenth's old soutane, which
lie wore when patriarch of Venice, has
arrived in Paris and is used as gar
ment .wherewith to clothe a wax fig
ure of his holiness now shown in the
Grevin museum.
Cardinal Sarto had worn this
soutane for three years and was
e.onomizing to buy new one. He
took it with him to the conclave and
discovered its fate only when he ex-
pressed a wish to see the few articles
us Venetian gripsack contained His
holiness then learned that after his
election the contents of his modest
valise were disposed of according to
an ancient custom.
Cardinal Oreglia, as dean of the col
lege Of cardinals. took the new pope's 8
cane as souvenir His tobacco box
was bought by Princess Gordiana for
her collection. The price paid was
$400, which sum was given to the poor.
The pope hoped that his well-worn
soutane was valueless, but his holiness
had not reckoned with the museums.

Cure for HanEnafIs.

Fingers that would otherwise be
pretty are often difigured by hangnails.
Nothing can well be uglier than these
little red tags of flesh at the corners of
ones nails. Sometimes they are caused
by pushing the skin down when it is
dry, or using sharp instrument, like
the edge of pair of scissors When
the skin has grown upon the nail, soak
the finger tips in warm water for five
minutes, then push it down gently with
the towel. If one makes use of this gen.
tie process two or three times day, or
remembers to dry by rubbing down in
stead of up, the nails ought to keep q
good shape without the danger of maxi
ing hangnails-N Y. Tribune.

HOUSE pERFUMERY.
One of the Latest Fads In to Have
Fine Od0r PermeatinE the
Apartments.

In the homes of the rich and in the
expensive hotels nowadays it almost in
variably will be found that the faintest
suggestion of some beautiful odor per-
meates entrance halls, corridors, draw
ing-rooms and sleeping apartments,
says the New York Press. 1t has moth
ing in common with the nauseating
smell that comes from the burning of
the ordinary everyday pastille The
delicate odor. which is one OF the latest
fads of the wealthy, is costly thing
to provide. The apparatus for produc-
ing the scented atmosphere is Of two
kinds, one bronze vase, the other a
eut-glass jar, powder being burned in
the first, and liquid In the second.
The bronze vases are sold in shops
that deal in eastern wares, and. although
not any larger than the average teacup.
sell for SIS to 500. They are fitted with
a perforated cover, and in the bowl a
scented powder is placed that costs two
dollars for half pound, this amount
lasting only two days, when used all
the time, as these incense burners are.
The cut-glass jars have the same kind OF
cover and cost ten dollars each. the
liquid burned in them costing $1.50 for
a two-ounce bottle.
In use the vases and jars are placed
in the lower hall of small house, or
one in each hall of a big one, and are
lighted in the morning by an early ris-
ing servant. and from that time until
late at night are never permitted to go
out, the odor escaping through the per-
forations in the covers of the vessels
In the fashionable hotels the same eff
feet is produced by scattering heav-
lily scented powder over the carpets in
the halls and corridors in the early
morning hours. The composition OF
this powder used in hotels is guarded,
and it is impossible to learn from the
employer what it is or where it may be
| obtained.
