For Aching Feet.

Applications of hot water are the pana-
cea for feet which burn and ache in hot
weather. 1t may be on the theory of

might as well Immediately take to wear
ing large shoes. for they must eventually,
and the sooner they do the more quickly

Jap Women Like to Grow Old.

In the eyes of japanese women ii is
just as absurd to wear a kimono as a
dressing gown as 1t is to put on an
evening dress just after getting out of
the morning bath. "One thing that has
astonished me-" said a Japanese woman
in America recently, lis the fact that
women here have a fancy for the kimono
rs q dressing gown. / wonder what they
would say il they went to Japan and
found some of my countrywomen leaving
their morning bath or taking the first
meal OF the day in ball dresses or after
noon gowns. / think they would say
that Japanese women were quite mad
The observing visitor also made criti-
cisms of the way American women wear
the kimcno. If they must wear the
kimono," said she, why don't they,
fasten IL as we fasten it? 1t should lap
over from left to right. not right to left
When q Japanese woman walks her dra-
peries must fall from left to right If
American women delight to wear Japan
csc clothes. they should wear them prop
eriy. Furthermore, in Japan the older
a woman grows the shorter are the
sleeves of her kimono made. Japanese
are proud of their age. and they do not
care to shorten ii by a single month,
and they always have their kimonos
made accordingly

Walking Good for Women.

Walking is one of the best OF summer
exercises. 1t develops almost every
muscle in the human body. Horsewomen
are no longer in the majority with per-
sons who seek a healthful exercise:
II Is also fashionable to walk, and the
fad Of the summer is to swing along q
smooth country road breathing the fresh
air and getting an outdoor bath.
Teachers. physicians and parents are
encoura ging the fad with all their power.
Walking cannot possibly be harmful. says
the philadelphia Times. 1t is wholesome,
Inexpensive and a beneficial method OF
exercising The popularity OF walking
this summer has been assured. although
MANY women differ somewhat IN their
ideas of pedestrianism and the practical
side OF 1t.
A girl i'm making ready for her after
noon tramp over the hills should don a
one-piece costume. blue serge being one
of the best materials. made with a natty
blouse and short skirt. High button
shoes are the best for walking. protecting
the ankles The hair is tied with a black
ribbon and a wide-brimmed straw hat
completes the costume

A. Note of Sympathy.

Immediately on knowing Of a death in
the family Of a friend one should show
formal recognition of the fact, even
though the acquaintance be slight. Only
IL one Is really an old friend does one
send a note or go to the house. but un-
less some attention is paid to the Attic
ton those who are undergoing IL have
no way Of knowing whether others from
whom they have not heard are aware
Of 1t.
To post ones visiting card, or, better
still. to leave II at the house In person
is the most formal way one may do.
Something may be written on the card
or not. as one chooses: but, generally
speaking, IL one writes at all the form
should take that of a note. and not a
line on card, which may always be
a note. The card, which should be ac-
companied also by that OF the husband
when a woman is married, is addressed
to the widow or widower, as the case
may be. or to the parents when the
death has been that Of a child. II the
bits Of pasteboard are left in person the
one for whom they are intended is not
asked to receive. but the visitor inquiries
at the door how she or he is.
Flowers which may be sent are ad-
dressed to the head OF the house and
visiting cards are placed In the box. 1t
Is not good form to send them when flu
neral notices request that flowers shall
be omitted. II one is keenly DESTROYS OF
expressing a sympathy which is felt, one
may wait until after the funeral services
and send flowers to the person most
deeply bereaved, as the wife, or widow
Only at that time are blossoms received
by an individual; that is. any sent before
a funeral are supposed to be for use at
the services and are not retained in the
house. Those sent several days after
ward are undoubtedly meant for the use
of the individual to whom they are ad-
dressed.
1t Is a very pretty thought to show
such an attention a week or so after a
funeral, for those in affection are more
than apt to feel that their grief is quick
ly forgotten by their friends, who are all
sympathy at first. 1t is not necessary
that any note shall accompany the box,
but the recipient is required to send a
note OF thanks. written either by her
self or another member of the family or
a friend for her.

BERLIN. August 1O.-When King Fred
erick William undertook the gigantic
task of rehabilitating his kingdom of
Prussia after II had been devastated by
Napoleon he said: 1.-The future will be-
long to the best educated nation From
that day until this his words have been
the motto of the Prussian nation, and
since the union of Germany they have
expressed the guiding thought Of impe-
rial policy. Frederick William did not
mean that education should be confined
to book learning, and none of his sue
cessors has narrowed the broad import
OF the word. The old king began first by
educating his people for war, that they
might repel invaders and make sure of
their national independence. After war
came industry. and the Prussians were
the first people systematically to under
take the education OF the hands as well
as the minds of their children 1t began
in the kindergarten and the technical
training school almost at the same time.
Froebel and Pestalozzi in their work for
German education revolutionized the
teaching methods of all the world, but
their ideas have been better developed in
Germany than elsewhere.
Believing that the future belongs to
the best educated nation. the Germans
believe also that the future belongs to
the best educated man. Therefore the
German soldier Is educated in the theory
and practice of war-he is not expected
to pick 1t up under fire or TO inherit ii
from his soldierly ancestors The Ger
man artisan is educated in the theory
and practice of the particular craft to
which he will devote his Iife-he is not
expected to be able to qualify himself by
sweeping out the shop and picking up
technical knowledge at odd times
Every German is presumed to have a
special educational training in some spe-
cial line of

one is expected to drift into a trade, call
ing or profession. A lifework is selected
for a boy; he is trained for that work,
| and he is expected to remain In 1t all
his life. As he is educated for this par
ticular thing, the idea of changing to
some other work never will occur to him.
BY this universal system of special train
ing every German is fitted into his par
ticular niche in the social fabric: he be-
comes part of the great politico-eco-
nomic machine called the German EN-
pire, and until he wears out he performs
the duties and functions OF a cog In that

The result of century of adherence
