FEET AND SHORT SKIRTS.

The council at Prague has been
INDUCING in grandmotherly legisla-
ton, and has decreed that hence
forth no woman shall appear in the
streets in a dress which touches the
ground.
There are few more helpless and
pitiable creatures than a woman on
a wet and windy day, trying to hold
up her skirt with one hand, while
with the other she grasps her UNI
brella and the little bag which serves
her in lieu Of a purse.
French and American women are
more sensible than we are in this re-
Spect, and in both countries the short
skirt is de rigeur for the street.
Perhaps-low be it spoken-one
reason Of its scant popularity here is
that feet of the average English
woman + not her best point, and a
pretty foot seems a necessity -

THE SPOILED CHILD.

Many mothers, after giving care
full attention to the physical care of
a child during the first two or
three years Of its life, are prone to
consider their work along this line
finished and to relax their vigilance.
There seems to be an impression, UNI
expressed it may be, that the mother
has been tied down long enough,
and that the child is able to shift for
himself and to do as his elders do.
or he is turned over to the care of
a nursery governess. On the other
hand, over-indulgent parents, from
a mistaken sense of affection, are I'M
able to deny the child any passing
whim of appetite or temper. In
either case the result is the spoiled,
precocious American child, who,
with his lack Of consideration for
others and his irritable nerves, is
anything but a comfort to his par
ents and a veritable nuisance to
every one else,-Pictorial Review.

IN PRAISE OF THE ONION
All Countries and All Peoples Hold II
in High Regard for Its
dany Virtues.

The onion need have no fears. It's
position is secure. Born of the lily
family, probably in Asia in the far
off centuries, it grows all over the
world. 1t was well known to the an
cient Greeks and Romans. 1t is
mentioned in ancient Egyptian writ
ings and in the Pentateuch.
When the Israelites in the wilder
ness grew weary of mamma they
sighed for the good things they had
left behind and they distressed
Moses when they lifted their voices
in weeping and cried: 1--WE lcuom-
Der the fish, which we did eat in
Egypt freely; the cucumbers and
the melons and the leeks and the
onions and the garlic, but now ouc
soul is dried away there is nothing
at all besides this mamma before our
eyes"
1t was not so much the heshpots
Of Egypt that they sighed for as for
the succulent leek, the pungent
onion, the odorous garlic. The
onion is the Welsh national emblem.
In Spain and Italy garlic, which is
merely a condensed onion, enters
into nearly all dishes Of both the
rich and poor. The onion thriyes in
Siberia and in Honduras.
1t fourishes on the Nile and on
.he Mississippi. 1t was a favorite
with the Ptolemies of ancient Egypt
and it find, favor with the highest
and the lowest in Macon and Char
iotte. The Lady of Shalott died of
a broken heart because she had to
give up either onions or her lover.
Her lnver woe one of these Ga
nieky fellows who objected to the
odor of the onions and she would not
give up the shalott. The onion is
all right. It never seeks to conceal
itself. 1t is about the only thing in
hash in which one can have conf
dence.

HOW CASEY WON HIS BET.

jeff Call, a negro who came here
from Harrisonyille, Mo-, rented a
house in the northeastern part Of
the city. He fell behind in his rent
and refused to move out. The land
lord, W. L. Stephens, was given
Judgment against Call by Justice
Remley for $40.
"I'll bet $3.50 you don't have him
cut Of there in five days." Mr..
Stephens said to Roy Casey, the con-
stable.
The bet was made. Casey turned
% Thomas Raper, a deputy, and
said:
'Move 'em out, Tom"
Raper went to Calls home.
"Got- to move you out" he said
bluntly. but I'll give you 50 cents
to set your goods in the street"
II was a chance for Call. He ac-
cepted the offer. Call got the so
cents, Casey won $3.50 and the land
lord got possession of his house.

FASHION AND SELF CONTROL
Presence Of R,inC Shown by Womer
Under Trying Circumstances
Thus Accounted For.

Are women really growing brayeri
One almost thinks they must be
when one reads in the accounts OF
recent shipWrecks and railway acct
dents Of the splendid heroism dis
played by the passengers of the
weaker sex in very trying circum,
s. noes. 1t is now almost the rule
foc a woman to show irmness and
presence Of mind, and seems to point
to a fundamental change in the fem
mine character.
Fashion, however, has probably
much to do with it, as s~elf-control is
generally practiced when it is ex-
pected and admired. If cowardice
is infectious, bravery is still more so,
and public opinion is often response
bic for the virtues, or their oppo-
sites, which distinguish a particular
age.

an unaccountable number Of times

doubt she was taken as a model by

oLD-FAsHIoNED FLOWERS.

Old-fashioned flowers are verv
popular again. The poppy was
grown extensively last season and
this seasons catalogues are enthu-
siastic over the beauty and brilliancy
Of these long neglected flowers. The
chief fault to find with them is that
the texture Of the petals of most va
ieties are so delicate that they are
easily injured and are not as useful
for cut flowers as other varieties.
But for making a brilliant bed or
corner in the garden they are unex-
celled by any other flower.

FOLLY THAT CAUSED DEATE
Almost ln%eoneelvahie Disobedience &c
Physicians Orders Reported
from London.

A curious fatality is reported
the only one which has occurred at
the Central London Throat and Ear
hospital, in which the patients dis
obedience to rules led to misadyen-
ture under nitrous oxide gas. He
had been told that he must not take
even milk or bread, though a cup of
soup or beef tea might be permitted.
Had he obeyed these instructions all
might have been well. As it was,
soon after nitrous oxide gas had been
administered and the operation be-
gun, the patients breathing failed,
and although for over an hour every
effort was made to restore him he
died without regaining conscious
ness. When a post-mor en- exam.
ination was made it was found that
the stomach contained nearly two
pounds Of und:5ested figs, which APP
parently the patient had eaten short
ly before coming to the hospital.
This sufficiently explained the fatal
result. Clearly neither the operator
nor the anaesthetist, who had admin
istered anaesthetics in $4,000 cases
without previous misadyenture, can
be blamed for what was due to the
mans own folly.-The Hospital.
