THEN BE WOKE UP.

"I never was much given to tiirta-
tion," said the travelling man, "but
I had a narrow escape last summer
from falling from grace.
1T was riding from Hannibal, Mo-,
to Springfield, ILL.,, on Wabash train.
sat next to the window on the right
side of the car, no one sharing my
seat. Across the aisle from me sat
two women. The one next to the
window was a good-looking person,
with blue silk gown and a pleasant
facial expression. Once as she looked
at me I detected a distinctly friendly
twinkle in her eyes. I was astonish-
ed. But not fatally. A mans ego
tism will never let him feel wholly
surprised when a woman shows signs
of being pleased with him.
II thought at last l have found
some one who detects good thing at
first sight without the necessity of
any of the preliminary stages of ac-
quaintance. The next time ! looked
her way-which wasn't long-there
was a friendly twinkle in my own
eyes, in response to which sugges-l
ton of smile visited the corners of
the woman's well-shaped mouth.
II sat up, fixed my coat collar so
it set just right, adjusted my four-in-
hand and tried to look unconcerned.
Within five minutes that strange per-
son and were smiling at each other
like old acquaintance.
"About this time tall, lanky per-
son walked into the car, spoke word
to the woman accompanying the one
of the friendly proclivities and then
sat down beside me. We drifted into
conversation with the freemasonry of
involuntary seatmates.
'Soon he said: 'I'm the sheriff
of this county. I've got couple o.
crazy women takin' 'em to the 'sy-
lum. You wouldn't ever know they
was crazy, neither. The woman over
there with the blue dress is one of
'em.'
"Well, I've known some keen hu-
miliations in my life, but that was a
trife the keenest. "-Chicago NeWs.
PEOPLE who are troubled with cold
feet may take heart. In Germany
there has been patented contrivance
described as "heatable shoe"
The heel is followed out, and in
this hollow is receptacle for grow
ing substance similar to that used in
Japanese hand warmers. Between
the soles, imbedded in asbestos COW
ers, is rubber bag, which is filed
with water.
The heating substance in the shoe
keeps the water warm, and it circu-
lates while the wearer is walking,
thus imparting pleasant warmth to
the foot. A small saiety valve Is
provided, so that the bag cannot
burst.
The warmth given by the sole
never rises above 10 degrees Fahren-
heit and will last about eight hours.
| 1t is claimed that the sole is not un-
reasonably thick, being only slightly
thicker than that cf a wet weather
shoe.

loid collars"

GOOD POINTS OF THE MULE.

The homely mule, like the homely
woman, is made beautiful to those
who know him by his many good
qualities. AS compared with horses,
mules show many advantages and
fall behind in few points other than
speed and personal appearance, and
sometimes in manners. At the age:
of two they are ready to do the work.
of a horse at four, and may be kept
at it twice as long. They are less
expensive to feed than other stock
and know when they have enough,
hence never founder. They are
more healthy than horses and can
stand more hardship and abuse.
While the horse, to be marketed
to the best advantage, must be FIVE
years old, the mule reaches the same
point at three, and there is always a.
demand for them.
When compared with cattle as to
profit in raising, the mule shows the
greater value and half the expense in
feed. While a good steer at three
years old will sell for SIS to 500, a
good mule of the same age will bring
from 500 to $125. They are not
subject to cholera, as are swine, and,
on the same amount of feed, easily
beat the hog in returning value.

of losing her on account of her attractive ap-

There was a certain dominic among these
early admirers-a wldower with several chill
dren. Another widower a lawyer, visited the
school so often to set all the. gossips In a
hutter A third she described as very hand

There are many references to clothes In her
early letters, and she wonders il her sisters o9

mentions having brought broche shawl Tor
ribbed silk hat which makes the villagers
stare" and a plum colored merino dress at -
a yard. (which everybody admits to be the
sweetest thing entirely" This love for dainty
raiment remained with Miss Anthony through
life and though in her later years she always
wore black in public, she gratihed her love for
bright colors in the house
She inherited this taste from her mother. who
was not a Quaker. like the Anthonys, while from
her father she obtained her courage, persistence
and aggressiveness. In fact, IL is only necessary
to glance at Miss Anthonys early home and
family to explain Miss Anthony. Her mother.

precarious her health, she was never willing that
Susan should take any time from public work
for the duties of home. though the latter fire.
quently insisted upon doing AS for Daniel
fty from the beginning. He encouraged her de-
sire to go into reforms demanding attention,
gave her financial backing when necessary and
moral support upon all occasions, and was ever
her most interested friend and faithful ally
The othe~ members of her family were also
sympathetic and the tie between them all was
particularly close and tender. The charge Of be-
ing a home destroyer was therefore one Of the
most bitter trials that Miss Anthony had to bear
during the years of abuse and misrepresentation
which she had to endure.
And it was not only I'm her own home that she
was beloved. She was ever enshrined in the
hearts of homekeepeT5 all over the land. While
to be destroying the home she was
actually playing the part Of peacemaker in
many homes. At the end of one conversation
with a wife who complaining Of her nus
bands cruelty. the woman, weeping, put her
arms around Hiss Anthony and said: You have

SEWING IN SCHOOLS.
Teachers Testify to Its HelPfulneSs
an Mann Educational Ways.

"Candidly some Of them do not kr ow how to
hold a needle" said Miss Emily c. Powers prin-
cipal of Public Evening School 26 Of Brooklyn
in the course Of a talk recently on sewing in
the evening schools before the department Of
domestic science of Brooklyn Institute.
The ignorance of sewing among the women
who come to us is astonishing" she continued
1T IS only matched by their anxiety to learn
Some who start with us in October will put in
sleeve bottom side UP just as quickly as the
other way But when at Christmas time they

their teachers is the greater. Our youngest

never bunts a woInan's desire to learn some
thing new, especially If it saves money and adds
to her attractiveness. The answers We receive
when we ask why pupils come to US would
convince you Of the usefulness Of sewing in the
public schools. want to learn TO make my
own Clothes reply some. l want to learn 70
make my children's Clothes say others. Still
others say they could get positions in wholesale
millinery establishments If they knew some
thing of millinery. Still others will reply. I
had a friend Who came and she makes her things
so nicely now that thought I'd try, too
Several Of our girls have taken positions in
wholesale millinery stores in the last few years,
and at least a dozen women have opened little
millinery stores of their own. Some of our pupils
will make twenty hats in the spring term. AS
soon as a girl shows any aptitude she Is en-
cOuraged to bring her own materials and make
garments for herself. The pupils take advantage
of the opportunity 70 buy materials at whole
sale rates. our practical course In dresSmaking
gives our pupils ideas Of the value Of labor
dreamed Of by some Of them. They can buy the
ginEham for nice little shirtwaist suit for %
cents while the dress ready made would cost
them 81 40 or 81 SO or some other odd sum, and
be i'll fitting into the bargain.
They learn many things besides the mere
handling Of a needle. When they begin they are
as likely not to cut the front breadth OF a
skirt right out of the middle OF n piece Of cloth
The development of their constructive abilities
makes them capable and ingenious.
1T is a sad mistake to reckon sewing among
the fads and frills. A fad is something quickly
dropped and a friu is something ornamental
while sewing is a necessary and permanent part
of feminine existence"
Even the little children IN the day schools
beg to be allowed to make fun sized garments

Tor actual use" said Miss Emma L. Johnson,
principal Of the Brooklyn Teachers Training
SchooL I believe It is this practical value OF
the lessons which made sewing the most pop
ular branch In the whole curriculum in Public
School lao. the first elementary school for girls
In the borough of Brooklyn, which 7 helped to
organize It had long seemed injustice 10
me that the little girls. just because they were
gentle and sweet and dOCie, should be dlsre-
garded by the teachers. But the poor teachers,
driven by the instinct Of sef-preservation were
forced 70 give the bulk OF their time TO the boys
Just because they were noisy and headstrOng
and hard to manage Therefore. II was a pleas
ure 10 me to organize a school for the little
girls alone, which should be their very own. and
in which they should receive all the care and
attention; and after became principal OF II
I studied the girls with great interest Being
but an Indifferent needlewoman myself. II was
a matter Of surprise to to find that sewing
was the most popular branch In the curriculum.
