A Guide to tho Height OF Beels.

There are four different heights,
with as many different names, of the
military heel alone. AS a guide to
those who want to be right on the sub
ject of heels, remember the following:
Up to one and one-quarter inches a
heel is a military, up to one one aud
fve-eighths it is a Cuban, above that
it is a Spanish heel. When it goes
above two inches it is a Cantillian.
The French heels range from one and
onequarter to two inches usually
and are called Louis XIV. The Du
Barry heel runs from two inches-and
quite few women wear it.-Shoe Re-

SCARED HIM INTO PREACHING.
~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~e~~%~~>t


In the early days of Methodism in
the West a Circuit rider" If he had
large field to cover, was sometimes
permitted to have colleague" who
was frequently a young minister lust
beginning to preach. The Rev. John
Thompson was a circuit rider In a
somewhat thinly settled portion of CEN
trail Illinois more than fifty years ago.
The colleague assigned to him was
Brother James Smith, an excellent
young man, but with very little expert
ence as preacher.
One Sunday Mr.. Thompson had an
appointment at a small meeting house
in the country, but having a severe
cold he asked his young assistant to
so along with him and preach the SER
mon, and the latter. as In duty bound,
obeyed orders.
Brother Smith had never undertaken
10 preach In the presence Of his more
experienced colaborer, and when, after
the opening services, he rose and gave
out his text, he was visibly embar-
raised.
He stammered through a few sen
fences, hesitated, made another at
tempt, and came to dead stop.
"What's the use, brethrenT he said

Brother Thompson saw that the case
was one in which heroic measures

An electric shock could not have
operated quicker. Brother Smith rose
to his feet again, his hesitation al
gone. and in ringing tones he preached
a sermon that is still remembered by
aged survivors of that old-tme con

In one part of "all the Russias." the
province of Ukraine, it is always leap
year as far as the female privilege of
proposing is concerned. 1t is said to
be customary there, when a young
woman falls in love with a man, for
her to go to his fathers house, and in
the most tender and pathetic manner
plead with the young man to take her
as his wife. She promises the mos,
submissive obedience to his will if he
will but accept her. If the young man
says: Il beg that you will excuse me
from this" she tells him that she is
resolved not to depart until he shall
promise to take her for better or worse.
She accordingly takes up ner abode
there and remains until he is wooed
and won or until he ends the siege by
fleeing to parts unknown.

Old Soldiers Story.

Sonoma, Mich, June 13.-That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter
rible than bullets is the experience of
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as a Union Soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke in
the Louisiana swamps and as a result
got crippled with Rheumatism so that
his hands and feet got all twisted out
of shape and how he suffered only a
Rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in mis-
cry, then one lucky day his druggist
advised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills
OF the result Mr.. Hutchins says;
''The first two boxes did not help
me much but got two more and before
1 got them used up l was great deal
better. 1 kept on taking them and
now my pains are all gone and I fee
better than 1 have in years. I know

the one with the greatest expanse of

with the greatest power of flight is
the frigate or man-o'war bird. This
bird apparently flies more by skill than
by strength, for it has not great carry

the largest of all seabircs, is also one
of our strongest flyers. One bird was

At the Factory.

The machinery for the sugar
factory has all arrived and a large
amount of it is Installed. Two
large cranes are used for handling
the heavy pieces, several teams
are busy with Fresno scrapers
grading the grounds, and the
reservoir with capacity of TO-
900 tons is completed for storing
the pulp. The smoke stack 1876
feet high is completed, aud the
steel work is erected for the
machine shops and boiler house.
The pulp will be carried from the
factory to the reservoir by water,
and a drain leads from the reser-
voir to the sewer drain which car
fies the sediment away, which
arises from washing the beets.
This sewer is made of brick,
is thirty inches in diameter and
leads out beyond the edge of the
bench, distance of two humid
dred and fifty feet,
Work was commenced last
week on the beet sheds, which
will have capacity of 1900 tons,
and work will soon commence on
trestles for the passage OF cars
and wagons hauling beets. They
will be sixteen feet high at the
beet sheds. The tlume for carry
ing pulp to the reservoir will
reach distance of SO feet. The
pulp will be preserved for sale
for feeding purposes, and will be
sold at 30 cents ton, price
very much below what it COM

accustomed to using it and have a
definite knowledge of its value on
