CHILDREN'S SHOES.

Do you know that few children's
shoes are properly fitted?
A child does not know enough to tell
anything about them, except that they
are too tight.
There are other faults in shoes than
tightness,
They may be a good enough shape as
shoes, but not the shape of the small
foot which they arc intended 10 pro-
tect.
Ill-ftting shoes are responsible for
many q childish i'll.
Unreasonable fatigue, bad carriage.
and pains in the limbs are
al. traceable to this cause.
While it Is difficult to make sure that
the ready-made shoe is perfect in this
respect, it Is as little as one can do.
in buying shoes for children, TO study
the shape of their feet and buy as care
fully as possible
Never let a child wear shoes that
are uncomfortable if it can possibly be
avoided.
Better economic more rigidly in some
other direction.

Cunning of Chaperons Set al
Naught by Silent Messen-
gers of Love.

the pimpernel carries the dole-
ful message that love changes on ac-
count of the lovers per1dy; with n
piece of basil it indicates that love has
turned to hate.
If the ~belladonna lily should also ac-
company the basil, 1t means that the
hate is on account Of mysterious ST.
lence. The anemone means love is for
saken in this Connection, also. But red
pimpernel asks only for a meeting, IL 4
is sent with any favorable ~love-hower.
The pinks are pretty love-howers. \
red one has the exact meaning of a red
rose, N means love pure and simple
from sender to giver. A double red
pink means very ardent love, but the
variegated pink must be used with eau
ton, because part of its omen is re-
fusal.
Gorse is one of the exceptions to the
i'll sign of yellow flowers, because it
means enduring affection, and It's
prickles signify protection. When fern
accompanies furze as a love-gift, The
message is rather blunt. but it indl-
Gates great sincerity and truth, with no
room for distrust or jealousy.
Wistaria is clinging love and gener-
ally a woman's gift, not a mans. The
ox-eyed daisy accompanies any love-
flower well. because it means a token.
1t can be made a token of anything al
most; with yellow tulip, of hopeless
love, with motherwort, of secret affec-
ton, with white dittany or any rose, OF
passion. OX-eyed daisy tied with a
dock-leaf means great patience, and
with cuckoo-pint is a oxen of ardor:
hut with f1eur-de-lis, becomes a sign Of
loves vivid flame.

Lou rs Language Spoken By the
FLOWERS an Eloquent Appeal

But the yellow tulip is of melancholy
ness of love.
The rose is the symbol usually con-
nected with a flowery love-message.
All the roses mean something of the
great passion, the exact signification
varying a little as to its mode of ex-
preston with the kind chosen. Most
of them are vehicles of tender little
messages, but always the yellow ones
should be avoided, because their indi-
cation is of jealousy. A deep yellow
rose means powerful jealousy-the lover
Will be very exacting and means his
fiancee to understand it. A moss rose
is loves confession. and as good as
a red tulip when passionate business
is TO be urged in the message.
The sender of red tulip or of moss
rose should be awarded daintily by the
return gift of peach blossom, which
means thai the bestowcr is loves cap
tive, and in chains of liking for the one
who shall receive the token; or a piece
of ambrosia. which means love re
turned. The humble peppermint OF

THE practise of using some kind of

As disease germs find their way into
the system through the mouth, how
necessary then it is to annihilate them
before injury Is done. Not only is the
mouth wash employed for this our
pose, but for a fetid breath, acid condi-
ions of the stomach, which have a
most injurious effect upon the enamel
of the teeth, says the writer in the
Philadelphia Inquirer. These may be
secured in different forms. Charcoal
tablets are advised for a feverish
breath.
I append several formulas for mouth
washes:-
An excellent disinfectant is COM

Another disinfectant includes:
Thymol, 3 grains; benzoic acid. 3
