Daily Life of Little Girls.

The average girl, capable of becom.
ing an executive, well-informed wo.
man, is born with a love for the
homely, sweet and practical things OF
life. and it is to this wholesome, un.
spoiled child instinct that effort must
be directed in domestic education.
And the task is so much easier when
the work is begun early in life, under
the guise of play.
There are those who advocate be.
ginning with the very little ones of
three and four years of age, and build.

rules, teach them rule and method.
and while they are practicing in
small. way, suited to their surround.
ings, be quite sure that they are doing
everything in the right way. Ii is
easier TO teach the child now, and
form the habit of working right, than
it will be by and by to undo wrong
teaching, and form new habits of do
ing things.
1t is not at all difficult to teach the
little girl in her doll housekeeping to
put things in their proper places, keep
them there. and TO do all the things
at the proper time. She may have the
correct method of housekeeping, how
to give entertainment, and even the
judiclous management of her doll SER
wants. If only mother knows how and
has the wit and wisdom and patience
and good humor to impart her knowl.
edge in happy, playful fashion.
Then. too, the mother can let the
little girl do some real tasks, light
ones. to be sure. but genuine work,
making her feel sure that she is of
importance because she is "helplng
mother" Nothing makes a girl hap
pier than the thought that she is
doing something which is really worth
while and not mere play.-Mirror-

A shoe that keeps the foot always

Any contraction of the leather which
binds the toes. even u little, must pro

The heel should be broad and not
over one inch high. Rubber Is applied
to the bottom OF the heel. to the in
side of the heel and in the form of d
pad placed inside the shoe. The prn.
ciple in each of these is excellent. No
one should walk on a solid heel.
The instep should be laced with dag.
onal lacing, instead of straight across,
or in such way as to permit the up.
per to fit itself to the shape of the
foot freely.
The lining of the shoe plays an i'm.

In and it must not wear out sooner
than the upper of the shoe.
The upper of the shoe should be

the position of the foot when fiat Oh

when held in the air.
The sensible people lave for many
years dressed their feet OH these lines.

"A FAST TRAIN DITCHED

freight train on the Houston and
Texas Central was derailed In front

city. The track was torn up
from the switch just west of the depot
almost to College street, dis
tance of about one block. Seven
cars were derailed and one was
almost completely dismantled, hav-
ing TO be bound entirely around with
heavy chains which were made fast
TO the trucks. The ground was
ploughed up in frightful manner
by the car wheels and College street
was blocked nearly all morning by
derailed cars.
The work caused very little delay
to freight and passenger traffic as
trains could pass around the dam
aged track on q siding.
