SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Ancient Significance of Custom Which
is Now Looked Upon as
Merely Joke.

AS specially applied to weddings.
there is a suspicion that the throwing
of old shoes-or new slippers, for ali
that-had at first a significance which
would surely be most Objectionable TO
notwithstanding brides. 1t seems to
nave been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master In the East a shoe or
slipper was publicly borne at the head
of the bridal procession in indication
of the brides subsection. and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as a sign that she vas thereafter
to be submissive to his will. Among
| the HISTORIANS it was the custom for
| the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her
To this day there is a common Gus
tom in Russia for the bridegroom or
his wedding night to require the bride
to pull off his boots. In one of then
is a whip. and in the other a gift. |
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip. she gets a stroke from tn
lash, and is to expect floggings there
after. but if the gift is first disclose
her married life will be happy. 1t i
related of Martin Luther that once
after performing the wedding cer'
mony for a couple, he took of tn
bridegroom's shoe and placed it upo
the brides pillow. as a sign that sh
should in all things and at all time
be subservient to her husband.

NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
WouId-Be Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required of Fighters
on the Ships of U. S.

They tell a story about a certain
secretary of the navy who had never
seen ship, and who exclaimed, when
he began to explore a man-of-war,
Good gracious, it's hollow! This is
an unlikely yarn, but it is fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about a ship as a Sioux III
dian.
Some weeks ago a man visited the
receiving ship Wabash. lying at the
Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard, and
said he would like to ship, but would
not enlist if he could not be given
work to which he was accustomed.
He was not enlisted, for he would bf
useless. He was a paperhanger.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He was int
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tain's horse, for he was a stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as ships
roofer, and once a gardener called to
obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board of United
States man-of-war, so he failed to en-
ter the service.

Round Steak a la Quin,

Cover a slice of round steak (cut
about one and a half inches thick
with flour, and, using the edge of a
plate or meat FOUNDER, pound as much
as possible into the meat. Melt two
tablespoonfuls of fat in baking pan;
brown the meat quickly on both sides
in this; sprinkle with salt and pepper
and cover with two cupfuls of water
or tomatoes, adding one or two sliced
onions. Cover closely and bake in a
slow oven for several hours, or until
the meat is tender throughout. This
is an excellent recipe for use in the
fireless cooker Serve with tomato
sauce or alone with the gravy. This
may also be cooked very slowly on
top of the stove.

FOR PUBLIC FESTIVAL
IMPORTANT TO KNOW AMOUNT
OF FOOD TO PROVIDE.
Famous Chef Recommends the Guam
titles Enumerated Below as Being
Amply Sufficient to Supply
One Hundred Guests.

When arranging a special dinner
or supper, such as church societies
often give, it is as important to avoid
having a large amount of food and
drink left over as it is to provide
enough. One thing to be borne in
mind is that an item which is part
of full menu will be served in small
er portions than when it is part of
limited number of dishes.
The following are the quantities of
materials which famous chef recon-
mends as sufficient for 100 guests:
Three and one-half pounds of
coffee.
Six gallons Of cocoa made from
three gallons each of milk and wa
ter and one pound of cocoa.
Four pounds of loaf sugar.
Five gallons of oysters.
Two hundred and sixty sandwiches,
made from 16 loaves Of bread and
four pounds of butter.
Thirty pounds of ham, to boil
and slice.
Ten medium-sized cabbages for
cold-slaw.
Twenty pies.
Five loaf cakes and five layer
cakes.
Eighteen quarts of ice cream.
Ten four-pound chickens and 80
heads of celery for salad.
Five chickens and five tongues for
sandwiches.
Five quarts of dressing for salads.

ViIna's NapoIeonic Veteran.

In Wilma, which is temporarily in
the possession of Germany, lives Pc
ter Laptieff, one of Europe's "old
men," for he was born in the year
1889, says the London Chronicle.
When Napoleon invaded Russia, and
got as far as Dvinsk, he was in need
of guide. But the inhabitants had
fed Laptieff's family, hiding in the
recesses of a forest. But curiosity
drew him, and he hid in a tree to
watch the invaders. He was seen,
captured and taken before the EN-
peror, who ordered him to act as
guide to the vanguard of the army.
This he did for SO hours. and then es-
capped. He fought against both of his
country's present allies, against the
French at Borodino, and against the
English in the Crimea. Tired Of max
ing history, he took to making bricks,
but now lives in retirement with his
son and grandson.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,

times more active than lithia in elimi-

This is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
inflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
Iy "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel

stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

Many Children Suffer
From Kidney Trouble

Three years ago my little girl, Angela,
was taken sick with scarlet fever and
later dropsy set in; her face and limos
swelled and her eyes pulled. A leading
physician here at the time, treated hel
without the slightest success. A sample
of your SwampRoot having been lett at
the house at the time, | resolved to try
it, and as it agreed with her stomach l
continued using it with gratifying results
The inflammation began to subside after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bottle, and
after she took two large bottles she was
pronounced cured by the doctor, and has
been in good health ever since. The doc
tor came to see her every day and exam
med her every second day until he pro-
nounced her kidneys in perfect condition.
Now then the doctor was under the i'm
preston that l was giving my girl hls
medicine but as his medicine had failed
to do a bit of good, and desiring not to
offend him, l did not tell him | was CIV
ing her Swamp-Root and he did not know
the difference. l did not use one drop OF
his medicine after 1 started my girl on
Swamp-Root, and have always felt that

life, for which l am grateful.
