How shall I keep them on?" asked
the customer, glancing down at the
walking slippers that She was trying on.
You must cultivate the pump
walk, said the clerk
The pump walk is now the recognized
gait, and inquiring customers at shoe
shops are told that it is essential if they
would wear the pretty walking slippers
which are decidedly the vogue this sea-
son.
The slippers were a fashion of last
summer, too, but not to the extent to
which they are this year. Last season
women in general did not know how to
walk in them; this season women in
general do.
To keep on any slipper not fastened
over the ankle a sliding step is neces-
Sary. Indoors this step Is taken uncor-
sciously, for carpeted and polished
floors offer no obstacle to it, nor do they
give the slipper hard wear as it rubs
over them.
Outdoors an uncompromising slipper
walk is an impossibility. One cannot
glide over cobblestones, or across car
tracks, nor is a shuhling walk desirable
on country paths and roads. A lift of
the foot is necessary when walking out
of doors.
But the usual free lift of foot is out
of the question for slippered feet Slip
pers would be sent flying.
The pump walk is a compromise be-
tween glide and lift. The foot must
not shuffle. but it must not at any time
be lifted further than will permit Of a
little fitting up into place of the heel
There is a difference of opinion as to
the comfort OF the walking slipper.
Many women insist that nothing could
be more comfortable. Others, while de-
prettiest thing imaginable, still say that
for a walk Of any length it fatigues the
foot.
TT gets tired thinking" is the way
one woman puts it. "A slippered foot

When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida l.. Brown had ST. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sem
sations, which she recently described as
follows:
"One hand, half of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then 20 away,
several times n day. Besides | would
have palpitatIon of the heart, and my
strength would get SO low that could
hardly breathe. As time went on these
spells kept coming oftcner aud growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
GLOW did you get rid Of them?'
"Itseemed for long time as if never
could get rid of them. 1t was not until
about six years ago that | found n remedy
that had virtue enough nit to reach my
case. That was DR. Williams Pink Pills

CURE FOR THE BLTES.

member the years of the right hama
of the Most High,-Psalms 771o.
That was an honest confession, ana
one that proved to be good for the soul
Of the man who made it. Asaph, the
singer of this song had had a pad
spell OF the blues. He was nervous,
sleepless, fretful, full of vague regrets
and queruious complainings. He had
reviewed the whole troop Of his mag
mary miSeries, and wound up by Won
dering whether God really cared any
thing about him. One might well be-
lieye that he had been taking III alto-
gether too many social functions.
Whatever the cause, he had come TO
an exceedingly disagrceable condition.
Despite the fact that many suppose
that suintliness is never fully achieved
unless the whole nature be souted, IL
still remains true that of all the bIghlS
upon this earth, few are more CON
trary to the viii OF Il God Of love
and sunshine than the disposition tnat
abides in the chronic blues. 1t lives
on regrets for the good things that
might have been and dreadingS or the
evil things That yet may be. 1t is
either complaining or criticising. Their
gall enters the hearts Of such people.
They look within and see nothing but
bitterness; they look without, and the
film over their eyes colors their whole
world. until they lose faith in God
and hope for man. Then they lay the
blame on their circumstances, or,
worse yet, on what they call an "All
Wise Providence" whom they imagine
TO be as bitter against them as they
are against the world
This attitude soon becomes fixed.
Tnconsciously it is cultivated. Then
friends and members of the family
turn with loathing from the atmos-
phere of chronic pcssimism; the
habitue has become a cuttletiSh among
his fellows, only emannting floods of
iuky misery, He wonders why things
DO not come lis way; why business
associates desert him ana troubles as
sail him more and more. The truth is
that imasuary troubles tend to be-
come real and fortune never smiles
on 4 man who turns q sour face to-
ward her.
But there is remedy. Asaph began
TO cure himself when, instead Of say
ing, AN things arc against me- he
said This Is my iutirmity,' my fault;

LESSON OF THE EARTHQUAKE

By kcF. =. {. BTuDer
Thou hast made the earth TO trem-
BILE; thou hast broken 1t, for it shak-
eth" Psalms Coz.
Such is word picture Of the pres
ent condition of our planet How
earth's duh inhabitants were startled
n year ago or more In the eruption Of
Mount Pelee, located in one of the
West India islands, the appalling
catastrophe putting the number Of
dead at 10000. The history of these
tragedies of nature are found to be
closely allied to earthquakes Perhaps
in the annals of time the first earth
quake occurred at the time Of the CON
fcderacy against Jehovah when Korah,
In Hebrew times, rchc,led against God.
The earthquake opened It's colossal
mouth and swallowed the wicked
crowd. Next Of amy distinction came
l,471 years before the angels sang the
advent song of Christ the Lord. Then
In the year Ii 4. -, after the new
Kingdom of God came, white the wick

Gle day 10000 We're caught in tho
grip of the torn-up crust and hurled
into eternity.
Then, recently, the destruction OF
the town Of st. Pierre, where it is re-
ported nearly 10000 persisted in half
Il minute. This scrap Of earthquake
history starts the scholar to phios-
ophizing on the cause OF 1t. There is
a moral lesson in these disturbances
OF which we have but dim conccp-
ton.
The Creator IS renovating mans
temporal abode. The end of the world
may not be more than 100 years away.
The rocking of the earth has salu-
tary effect upon mankind rellgiously

ing lessons as come TO us from the
