REGARDED AS INJURIOUS.
Criticism of Hepburn Bill Regulating
Sale of Food Stuffs

On the strength of a statement made by
Health OFFICER Woodward that the enact
ment of the Hepburn bill SENATE So would
be injurious to the community, the Com
missioners have referred the measure to the
corporation counsel with instructions to
prepare a draft which will more nearly
meet the local needs. DR. Woodward crit
icises the severity of the penalty imposed
in the Hepburn bin for violations, and de-
elares that the minimum fine of $1,000 pro-
posed to be imposed would tend to the &C
ceptance OF personal bonds rather than
making the punishment fit the crime.
The bill, which is aimed particularly at
preventing the manufacture, sale or offer
ing for sale of adulterated or misbranded
foodstuffs, contains clause which specifies
that 1t shall go into effect one year after
enactment.

SHOES AND GRACEFUL WALKING
How French Women Select Their Shoes
 and Care for Them.

How French Women Select Their Shoes
 and Care for Them.
 All of the cities on the continent" said prominent wholesale shoe mer- chant who has just returned from his first trip abroad, fare full of graceful walkers of the feminine sex. This is more noticeable to the American, prob ably for the reason that here in our larger cities especially, we see so lit- tie of that kind
 "The reason American women don't walk well, as a rule, is that their shoes are uncomfortable and the heels are too high. A French woman can walk all day without a protest. And regard less of the fact she wears those much abused French heels. But that is just where the mistake Is made. The American manufacturer has, in his en- deavor to provide something quite dashing, tackled onto the heel seat of some of the shoes a heel monstrosity which throws the average French custom shoemaker into a rage at the sight of it.
 What the French woman really wear is the old fashioned IS or 1 A Louis heel with the broad top lift, which gives as much surface on which to walk at the ordinary military heel of the present day. Then she wears her shoes to fit her feet according to ! the shape the good Lord made them, If her foot is of the long, narrow and pointed kind that is the kind of shoes she buys or has made; if short, wide and square it is the short vamp and broad toe that is selected. And above all other things-they are never tight
 Said a well-known gymnasium teacher to me. It is impossible for woman Ito be awkward in her walk if she will wear a shoe with a heel not exceeding 1 F inches in height and when she puts her foot down have the | toes turned outward. The former re- | striction permits her to follow, the rule of putting the ball of the foot down first, and the latter is the nauarl posi- tion the foot if it is put down naturally with the ball first
 q was also told by many shoemak- CTS abroad that it is the usual rather than the unusual, thing for the woman of average means to posses eight or nine pairs of shoes, and change often. These were street shoes to which he re- ferred. Another good and sensible thing those foreigners do is to fire quuently have new kid Things put in their shoes. This, they claim, makes the shoe feel fresher and prevents blisters.
 | There is much to be learned from the foreigners in the selection and care l of shoes, but the thing that strikes me 1 as being the fundamental principle, or difference, between the American woman and her sister abroad lies in the fact that the former selects her shoes with but the one thought of style, while the latter for comfort and utility first i first and then style.h e.h@Shoe Retailer

R1CH MENIs INsuRANcE.

Men with large insurance formerly scattered it among many companies. John Wanamaker, for example has $1,5OO,OOO insurance in eighty five policies. For long time he carried the largest insurance in the United States During the last ten years, however, very rich men have taken out large single policies
 The first $1,OOO,OOO policy ever issued was taken out in 1897 by MT. George W, Vanderbilt, at the age of thirty-five in the Mutual. It is twenty payment life, twenty-year distribution policy. that is, he is to pay yearly premium of $85,000 for twenty years. At the end of this time he will receive a paid-up policy of $100O,OOO, and a cash dividend If the policy had been taken out twenty years ago, at the same age, he would have paid by this time the sum of $7O0,O0O in premiums, which at per cent compound interest would amount to nearly $10S5,O00.
 The most heavily insured man in the world, however, is probably MT L. 1 Rodman Wanamaker, of Philadelphia. who carries $2,OOOOOO in the Mutual, in addition to insurance in other com panies. MT. Wanamaker first took out his insurance in the Mutual amount I ing to $20O, 900, at the age of thirty four. At thirty-six he increased it by two additional policies of $100,OOO and $50O,- GOO, Five years later, at forty-one, he took two additional policies, one of 8, ,OOO, 900 and the other of S2O0,0O0 This makes his total insurance in the com pany $2,O00,OOO on which he pays a yearly premium of $63226
 The Wanamaker family in Philadel- pt1ia carries a total of $3S55,OOO in life insurance probably more than any other in the world,
 But all rich men do not carry life insurance. Andrew Carnegie for ex- ample, does not believe in it, and doe. not carry a single policy. The same i, true of John D. Rockefeller Worlds | Work.

DANCING MEN IN ENGLAND.

Men who can dance are apt to be viewed with suspicion by their own sex; and at public schools-the nursery of so many of our insular foibles and predices-a dancing boy is almost as much routed" as boy who speaks French with Parisian accent.
 I have met many man who can jump seventeen feet, dance "shuffie' or cakewalk, run a three mile race play with twenty pound dumbells vault, walk, ride and swim, but who cannot dance a waltz, and doesn't seem to want to. The Englishman re- gards dancing as effeminate and foot ling"--and foots 1t accordingly; and the girls he meets at dances have tc dance to his humor.-London Observer

He was ordained to the gospel min
istry in June. 1869. and in 1877 he with
drew from the Hague Synod and or
ganized the Independent Evangelical
Lutheran Church. 1t was in Chicago
that his career as a tier of matrimonial
knots really began. 1t made no differ

wished to get married, or what re-
ligious faith they professed. At his
home In Chicago he always had the

times, 1t Is said, he was kept so busy
marrying people that he had not time
to prepare his Sunday sermons, but his
excuse was always well received by
his congregation.
He had no stipulated fee for per
forming marriage ceremony. If the
bridegroom happened to have much Of

Ing the fee more than the minister. the
ceremony was always performed graf

matrimony, he said, and the matter Of
a few fees was nothing.
After he took to his bed from an Ill

regret was that he was unable to con-

came to him in the last three months
of his life, but all were sorrowfully

he died three couples came to be mar

Poor child! Her head ached, and her
eyes looked quite pathetic with the heavy
circles round them: but she refused TO
pity herself, and resolutely plunged her
head into a large basin of water. rubbed
her hair half dry, and started for the
museum.
Though her head still ached a good
deal, the copy made fair progress, and
there was no sign Of neglect or hurry IN
the work, her t-robbing temples notwith-

CHAPTER VII

1t was the lovelest room the young
girl had ever seen. The walls were A
subdued stone green, the curtains and
general decorations were of the same
color. artistically touched up here and
there with gold. There was a soft old
looking Persian rug that covered the
whole floor, except a few inches by the
walls. The floor of the windows were
bare, save for some exquisite specimens
of skins which Ethel did not even know
the names. Each of these windows was
tastefully and luxuriously furnished
There were two very fine paintings on
the walls, and the whole room was lit
tered most pieturesquely with valuable
curiosities brought home by Captain
Polling.
Ethel looked round her with a sense
of supreme delight. Mrs Crichton mis-
took the look. and apologized for the
general untidiness of the room.
You see, miss. Captain Peling took
the house only three weeks ago. He
don't allow Martha or me TO touch his
