Kitten Rescues Girl.

We often hear of dogs and horses
saving the lives of human beings. but
it is seldom, indeed. that a kitten
manages to do this. Yet that is just
what a pet kitten did for Its little
mistress out in Venice, Cal.
The two had been for a walk ana
had been gone for some time when
the kitten came home alone. 1t
went Immediately to the girls mother
and began to meow" and to do all
kinds of things to attract the woman's
attention. When 1t saw that 1t was
noticed it started of. but the girls
mother did not follow 1t at first. The
kitten persisted. however. and finally
the woman followed 1t and kept at the
heels of the kitten as 1t led the way
to an amusement pier.
There the little girl was found hang
ing head downward from a large spike.
She had fallen from the pier. and her
clothing had caught in the spike. Life
guards rescued her Immediately. and
she was none the worse for what was
nearly a very serious accident.

BAZAARS OF CAIRO.

The Curious Tiny Shops and the Mar

The bazaars of Cairo are very inter
esting. The streets are exceedingly mar
row., and the stores of the merchants
are often no larger than q good sized
cupboard, without doors, but with
shelves on which the goods are dis
played. The merchants squat down Oh
q little platform in front. You see here
the workers in gold and silver, weaver
Of silk fabrics and slipper makers, do
ing their work In the same way 1t was
done hundreds Of years ago. The old
est bazaar Is that of the scentmakers,
They have a whole street to them
selves, and when you get within a hun-
dred yards or SO the only guide you
need Is your nose.
These narrow streets are crowded
with q ceaseless throng of nHttves:
| women with yelled faces: men,, women
and children on donkeys; curious fiat
carts drawn by donkeys, on which
squat women enshrouded In black
nothing visible but one eye, and occa-
sionally along comes a great numbering
camel, quite as large as half n dozen OF
the native shops. Cabmen drive past
with studied indifference to life and
limb, and rather than get hurt you
crowd yourself into a bunch OF natives.

A Bird Magician,

In some parts of Europe the tourist
may have a little bird called the sis
kin pointed out to him by a peasant.
who says: THAT bird practices magic.
When he builds his nest he puts into
1t q. certain stone which makes 1t IN
visible. Any one who could find THIS
stone In q siskin's nest would also be
invisible as long as he carried the
stone In hls pocket. When i was q
boy | used to watch for the siskins
building their nests, and whenever l
saw one / would climb the tree to get
the stone. But the nest had always be-
come invisible before / could reach It,"
1t is quite true. as the peasants say.
that you may see n siskin busily max
ing its nest, and yet, when you ;aWl
out on the very same branch where
he was at work, you cannot ind the
nest at all. But there is no magic
in the sisllin's methods of building.
He simply makes his little home OF
material whose color exactly matches
its surroundings. Generally he hides
his nest in the branches of a fir tree,
from which the long tufts of lichen
hang like an old mans beard. The
nest itself is a small. round struc-
! ture and when covered on the out
side with lichen and built to nestle
close among the dropping lichen
growths of the fir tree it cannot he
seer at all from below. Even when
one crawls out on the limb from which
it hangs, oftentimes he cannot find the
nest. because It Is so perfectly con
cealed by a branch as to escape no.
tice even at close quarters.-F. *.

WITH STRAIGHT UPPER EDGE. WITH
OR WITHOUT PEPLUM.

The garment that can be quickly and
easily made and is at the same time dainty
and attractive appeals to every woman
who makes her own clothes. The corset
cover shown in this illustration is just such
a design. The main portion OF the corset
cover is cut all in one piece and, sincs
the upper edge is straight, it is especially
well adapted to houncing. There are
only under-arm seams and the closing is
made at the center front by means Oh
buttons and button-holes. 1t can be
finished at the waist line with a peplum
and belt or with a belt only as preferred.
In the illustration. it is made of embroid-
cred houncing. The armhole edges are
finished witch banding and edgfng and the
belt is covered with beading and ribbon.
In the small back view, the corset cover IS
shown made of uainsook trimmed With
Valenciennes lace insertion and edgins
and finished at the waist line with a belt
of beading and ribbon. The effect is very
dainty and charming, but hand embroid-
cry is always attractive or such a garment
and this one can be embroidered in any
way that suits the fancy.
For the medium size, the corset cover
will require "a yards Of material 36 or a.

Lovers of popcorn will be interested
in the corn popping device patented by
q Missouri man. The pan that holds
the corn has openings along its rim
to permit the insertion OF hooks that
are attached to q A handle by
which the device Is moved also has q
hook to insert through this rim. The
cover mas a revoluble stirring appara-
tus attached to It and operated by a
handle, like the handle of a coffee mill.
AS will be understood. this cover keeps
the corn from popping out of the pan,
as so often happens when that recep'
tecle is not closed.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Care Of the Feet.

The proper care of the feet Is
of much greater Importance TO
the preservation of the health
than many people Imagine. says
DR.. Edith b. Lowrey. Many of
the minor diseases. as well as
those of d more serious charac-
ter. can be traced directly to the
improper care of the feet.
Wet feet were regarded by u
parents as an almost certain
cause of colds, sore throat and
kindred ills. They wore thick
soled shoes or goloshes that pro-
tected their feet. In u race for
the beautiful we are inclined TO
neglect the utility of some Of our
wearing apparel, especially the
shoes. 1t Is very common even
In winter to see youthful maidens
standing on a cold corner we'll
wrapped in furs, but with their
feet poorly protected by thin silk
hose and light oxfords. The feet
and ankles should be well pro-
tected In cold and damp weather
II one would avoid sickness.
Corns and bunions. although
usually laid to tight shoes. are
due more to Ill fitting shoes. es-
pecially to pointed toed shoes.
The natural foot does not merge
to a point at the toe, but is near
ly as broad there Is at the ball,
yet the majority Of shoes are so
constructed that they crowd the
toes together and throw the foot
out of shape.
Cold feet are the bane of many,
especially Of the elderly. These
usually can be remedied by wear
ing proper shoes that do not con
strict nor bind and by giving
some attention to the hose worn.
One never should go to bed
q, cold feet. Many people lie
Se for hours because their
feet are cold. Such persons
should take O hot foot bath be-
fore retiring. Some elderly peo-
pie are much troubled with cold
feet, In several cases a hot foot
bath relieves the condition. This
gives better results If a little
mustard is added to the water.
1t probably will not be ne"es-
sary to take the foot bath more
than once or twice a week. for
tie stimulation to the circulation
from the heat and mustard seems
to give permanent results.
