English women rapidly are becom-

They are developing big feet. Sta

shoe firm in the Strand, lis growing
gradually larger. In the last ten
years the smallest size in which we
produce new fashions has risen. The
reason that we do not stock the small
sizes is that we have no demand for
them. Eight is no uncommon size for
a woman to wear. American women
cannot wear English boots, as they
have insteps that are more arched
than the average English instep,
which is usually fiat" The same boot
maker, however, said he had observed

Melted Wood.

Melted wood" first produced sew
enteen or eighteen years ago, was for
gotten after having been recorded as
scientific curiosity, bat further ex.
periments have been lately made in
France. After the volatile substances
have been distilled from wood-chips
the fbrous skeleton and the mineral
salt are heated in a boiler to 1900
degrees F. for two hours in an at
mosphere of somewhat compressed
nitrogen. The exclusion of oxygen
prevents combustion. The mass thus
obtained is hard and compact. but the
melting can be performed without
drawing off the distillation products,
and then the fused wood becomes a
hard amorphous solid, with a fine
grain and taking a fine polish. The
new material, which can be cast and
nodded and made ind1structible by
preservatives, seems 70 be adapted to
many uses.

The child's father, once q prosper
GUS merchant, had come down through
speculation, and by constant brood
ing over his reverses became insane.
He imagined that Beelzebub had
promised to direct him to spot
where hidden treasure was concealed,
providing the blood Of child was
offered to him. Accordingly one night
recently Grenardi, the person in ques-
ton, rose from his bed and with
knife in his haid went towards his
child's cradle.
The poor mother, struck dumb by
horror, sprang out to stop him, but
the maniac was too quick for her.
Shrieking aloud in his frenzy, and
averting his face. he stabbed twice
at the sleeping child before the frantic
mother could intervene, and, mad
with distress, snatch her little one
from the crlmsoning bed clothes.
Her Joy was unutterable to find her
baby unscathed. The child had been
saved at the expense of its trespas-

How often, in passing through fac

through the adjoining ends Did it
ever occur to you that the joining Of
these two ends was a difficult pro-

from the wheels, and this is bother.
A Pennsylvania man has invented a

can be performed quickly and easily
without removing the strap. First

MADE A "HlT" or ACCIDENT
True Dramatic Instinct, as This
Incident Shows.

Giovanni Crosse, Sicilian actor Of
unusual dramatic energy. is the hero
OF peculiar story, says the Florence
correspondent of the London Express.
He was playing one of his fiercest
parts, where he had to stab his enemy
with dagger. Suddenly, in the heat
of his passion. Grasso let the weapon
slip out OF hand. 1t alighted in the
pit on mans head. cutting 1t slightly.
An indignant member of the audi
ence flung the knife back to the stage.
where 1t was dexterously caught by
Grasso Raising 1t aloft In his hand.
and as II 1t were accursed, Grasso
smashed 1t in two, and then stamped
upon It,
Then, with swift bound, Grasso
was In the pit beside the injured man.
The next minute he had climbed back
to the boards. with the victim in his
arms.
After settling him In chair, Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was readily granted by the much en-
barrassed playgoer, who on his side
begged to be allowed to return to his
seat
But this was not to be until Grasso,
weeping copiously. had bestowed no
fewer than so resembling kisses on
the mans blushing cheeks.
The action was greeted with loud
CHEERS. and after Grasso had grace
fully bowed his thanks, the play was
resumed and successfully concluded.
