Fnahiona In shoea.

In the ninth and tenth centuries the greatest princes of Europe wore wood en shoes In the reign of William Ru- fus of England, in the eleventh cen- tury, a great dandy. ''RoberC the Horn ed" used shoes with sharp points, stuff fered with tow and twisted like rams horns. The Romans made use of two kinds of shoes, the solea, or sandal. which covered the sole of the foot and was worn at home and in company, and the calceus, which covered the whole foot and was always worn with tho toga when one went abroad. Greek shoes wera peculiar in reaching to the middle of the legs. Slippers were in use before Shakespeare time and were originally made rights and "lefts." Shoes among the Jews were made of leather. linen, rush or wood; soldiers shoes were sometimes made of brass or iron. In the reign of Richard II shoes were of such absurd length as to re- Quire to be supported by being tied to the knees with chains, sometimes of gold or silver. In 1463 the English Parliament took the matter in hand and passed an act foTbidding shoes with spikes more than two inches in length worn and manufactured. The present styles of shoes were introduced into England in 1633.

INFIRMARYAND WHARF
TWO PROJECTS SUBMITTED Tt
 CITY COUNCIL.
A Proposition to Relocate the Hospitai for Negroes Under Direction of the Montgomery City GOv-
 ernmemt.

Two communications for Montgom- cry improvements were sent to the City Council at its regular meeting last night.
 The Montgomery Infrmary, through it's board of directors, officers, and an advisory board of Montgomery men, offers to convey to the city of Mont gomery, the present site, building, furniture, and instruments of the In firamry. if the City Council will agree to sell the same for the purpose of re- locating the institution, and maintain ing it as a non-sectarian institution, and have the management rest with board of men and women to be elected by the Council.
 The representatives of the Infirmary call the attention of the Council to the fact that the institution is practically a charity institution, S5 per cent of its patients being charity patients. They claim that the present site of the property is too valuable to be used for infirmary purposes, and that the money could be invested with greater advant- age on some other location. In their opinion the present property can be sold for an amount, with which the city can purchase an equally Aconven- lent and adequate location and have on hand $10,00O to start erecting a new DulloinS Ihe 1nHEdmFy TepEesshta~ tives believe that they can supplement this amount with s5.o00 and if the city will erect building, costing not less than. $2o,000. so constructed that it may be added to without destroying the architecture and usefulness of the one building. the city will have a piece of property, costing $25,00O with an | outlay of not over $5.000 in cash The petition was referred to the joint committee on Finance and Public Works.
 Another petition. signed by over 300 citizens asking that the Council build a new wharf and improve the approach to the river was submitted by Alder man Kohn.
 Alderman Kohn explained that the petition was submitted at this time, in order to show Congress that people along the Alabama River appreciated the government appropriation for the river and that Montgomery was going to do some improving on it's own responsibility.
 The petition was referred to the Com- mittee on Streets.

At the New York State Assembly of Mothers, prominent New York doctor told the 500 women present thathealthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct.
 This seems to be a sweeping state. ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly we'll and do not have some trouble arising from derange- ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bearing down feeling. painful or irregular menstrua- ton, leucorrhna, displacement of the uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness? There is Q tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme- dies in the world. It regulates. strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com plaints.
 Such testimony as the following should be convincing.
 Ia, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
 ''I can truly say that you have saved my life and cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years Ispent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for mem strual irregularities and had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but was persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and three bottles have re- stored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you would have been in my grave today"

The Farm Children.

In a paper before the meeting of the Indiana Farmers Institute, Laura O. Fitzpatrick read a paper on The Farm Children" in which she said:
 "A child can be taught early in life that 1t can be a factor in the domestic enoconmy of the household. If we bring our children up to think they are too wise to work. and take all respon- sibility and labor on ourselves, and rear them to amuse themselves as they see it, we alone are to blame if they be- come selfish and failure In after years. There is always something that even a little child can do if rightly managed.
 Tn the city, boys have the advan- tage of girls. since there are errands to run, snow to shovel from the side walks and the coal to put in the cellar. A boy can deliver papers before and after school. Many boys olothe them selves, buy their school books and have a nice little bank account. In the country the girl has an even chance with the boy. and no discrimination should be made between them. Let

the daughter have a share of the dairy output if she assists in the care of the milk, or give her few hens to call her own and let her have the care of them and the income from them. Let the children have a generous corner of the garden They can grow vegeta- bles that always find ready sale in towns or cities.
 Growing mangoes. cucumbers,
 horseradish, sage or pieplant can be- easily done. and the returns are always good. Give them a strawberry bed to cultivate or a few rows of small fruit --gooseberries. currants, raspberries or grapes. Teach them how to grow
 them. Ownership is a wonderful
 quickener of interest. Let the children
 assist in marketing their produce. It will give them a business training and help them to gain confidence In their , ability as producers.
 "One of the main reasons children
 want to leave the farm Is because they
 are made to work beyond their strength very often. and cannot see what they
 have accomplished by it. Many farm
 CTS are directly to blame for the lack of interest shown by their children. A farmer that is continually grumbling at his lot, who barely ekes a soanty living from his farm by his slipshod methods of farming. who is continually
 wanting to get into some other line | of business where he will likely be as great failure as he is on the farm,
 will have a discontented family. Anchor yourself firmly to your farm and take
 your family in as full partners. Let your boys have a colt. calf or pig. and let them have the money they bring when sold, and do not put it in your pocket and tell them it was your corn and hay that went to feed them. Do not remind them that they are un- der age and that their time belongs to you until they are twenty-one. The | chances are that you will not get the
 benefit of 1t if they can run away from you.
 We are under obligations to give | our children all the educational advan- | tages along the line of work they seem | specially fitted for. All boys can't be | farmers. They are not gifted with the same order of talents. If one of your | boys chooses to succeed as a farmer, don't think that he will not need an l education, just the same as you are giving your other sons who do not ex-
 pect to stay on the farm. Send him | to an agricultural college and fit him
 to become the highest type of the farm
 CT. It often happens that he will be
 called to other positions. where educa- tion Is necessary.
 The head of the family should not
 fail to furnish reading matter for his | children adapted to their respective | tastes. Let the mother have a good
 household magazine. the poultry fancier
 a poultry paper. the beekeeper a paper devoted to the subject and as many
 good farm papers as can be afforded.
 Make the home life of your children a
 happy one, for the time is not far off
 when the home nest will be empty, as
 nedglings soon learn the value of the | wings

 forcible pdssession of Oklahoma by expeditions from Kansas, Missouri and Texas.
 Indian Territory originally com prised an area of 3i,4eo square miles. set apart by the government as a home for Indian tribes. The land is rolling and rich in agricultural and mineral resources; copper. iron, lead, sine. marble and building stone are abundant.
 When established Indian Territory included all the unorganized portion of the Lou!Siana purchase. During 1883 and 1884 the Creek. choctaw, Chickasaw and Cherokee tribes were moved to their aIlotments in the ter ritory. In 1888 the Seminoles were added By tl.a consent of the Indians
 some of these lands were thrown open to white settlers and the organization of Oklahoma reduced the territory to the present limits.
 The portion of the West comprised in these two Territories is a centre of interest for the emigration move- ment that marks American civiliza- tlOn. The 6lalCS NO tAG anu , south have been drained of surplus population for a decade to build up
 these virgin lands, but the process is not complete.
 While vast tracts are still open to lhomesteading in other parts of the West, they are the refuse the arid. rough or worthless claims. undesired by the settlers of the last three de-
 cades. Little wonder, then, that the
 virgin lands of the Indian Territory, capable of producing a bale and half of cotton. seventy bushels of corn or forty-ive bushels of wheat per acre,
 should be in demand. or that Okla noma farms, with aImost equal fer- tility, and which are subdivided and lrearranged to suit the development of the country and the increasing popu- lation, should attract both settlers and investors.

 Well, then there was a 'shake-up' in the offlce and lost my position. It was a case of hustle then, and in the hustling which I was obliged to do, in such intervals as l was not seeking consolation for my supposed ilI-treat- ment at the hands of arbitrary edi- tors, in too frequent libations, I forgot the little woman who waited for me at the accustomed corner night after night.

 Before she could reply that plucky little chap, the conductor, whispered in my ear:

 Half an hour later he was crushed to death beneath his own train. Acci- dental death! That's what they said. That's what I wrote. Perhaps 1t was, but-God! often wish I could think so."
 Phil paused. We both were silent for a while. Then, with some hesita- tion, asked:

He was a business man. As he
stood on the platform of a surface
car homcward bound he whistled
softly. The world had evidently used
him we'll that day. At Chambers
street a newsboy, taking advantage of
the crowd, made his way into the car.
All passengers seemed supplied with
papers. however. and, disappointed,
the boy wriggied past the conductor
and was about 10 jump, when the
voice of the business man stopped
him. Can you sing?" he asked
kindly, holding the boy in position i'll
front of him. The conductor scowled
The gentleman placed a nickel in his

came the beautiful soprano voice OF
the boy, supplemented by a clear and
manly tenor.
The effect was electrical. Ladies
stopped chatting and craned their
necks. A bibulous gentleman, seated
in front, caught the words and added
his crescendo TO the refrain, il was
irresistible, soul-stirring; and as the
car bowled along the ears of pede-

ume of song as never before greeted
them at that hour OF the day.
