Those who have a dozen active dill- i diw, oior* or ina*. to hasp abxl. harei' probably found ont ere this, that leather i has pone up In price almost {but not . quite) as rapidly as printing paper.

Much ran be done lo lessen the expense of shoe leather, even at the present prices, by Jodlcioos selection and proper care of boot* and shoes. A great mistake it snade in buying thin shoes, with tt.in soles, for pirls, while boys are provided with thlek-soled, high boots. A pair of strong boots will last a girl longer than •eeera) pairs ol thin ones, and will al low hrr to enjoy the air and exercise wtriek arc orceusry to health. There is ao reason why the fact of girls and women should lie mora thinly clad than thwae of boys and men — " Fashion kills j more than the sword." gome of the means taken to preserve leather are injurious to it, whila others are injurious to the feet. It is not desirable that a boot shoald be thoroughly » waterpro* f ; when this is tha esse the .^respiration Is confined, and tba foot r»i df red uucotnfor'.able and unhealthy. The " water-proof or varelsa blacking, •• no frequently nsed, is injurious lu the feather, rendering it less pliable — It eonfinct the prespiration, and keeps the feet cold by making the feather and stocking better conductors of brat — Ad those preparations which claim lo render leather water-proof should be discarded. The method which wo have found must satisfactory fe to apply melt rd tallow freely to the solaa of the boots aadaboaa, and to tha apper leather about ao iach high atound th. soles - In this way lie greater pan of the np per leather is left in its natural condiIK* wi »U1 ■»«* "» to escape throagh the pores, wtille tb«,„i„ k-pi ,11.1.1. ,.J Yk. uf k«t in, u toc.,«. .WW U - .nM. «•!■» * to. ..II; «t I.

Neat's foot oil. when j d accessible, is preferable to talloV — 3 When one is walking or working In I ■ deep snow or mud it msy be nescssary ' ^ to apply a coht of grease or oil over the v whole npper leather. We have found, v from experience that onureased boot* * and fchoea last much longer and are ' comfortable than those made air d and water praol.by oil or by impervious > blacking. c " Keep the head cool wed the Jest j . warm," is a trite prescription for health 0 The feet are always in a colder atmoa- * pbete near the ground, as well as ex- ! posed to /larapuris, aud worse than ell, ' foolisfi Chinese fashion requires them 1 I to be cramped in shoes too small to ad ( j mil free circulation of the blood, which ■ j the soarco, or rather the conreyor of j 1 1 animal heat. Special Vat* is therefore needed to keep them warm. India-rub ' her oser-shoes are very good If worn • s I only ont of doors, and removed when ' | coming in. 'Sandals, open over the foot, I i are best, except when obliged to wade , 4 in snow or mud. Nothing contributes 1 j more to health aud comfort than a fre- f j qnenl change of stockings. When atopf ping exercise at the close of a day's , J work, we invariably remove the socks ' j filled with prespiration through the day, ■ ■ und put on dry ones lor onr long ride | i howe to the country. Much comfort, ' and greater freedom from cold has rc* ( | suited from this practice. Tho current : opinion, in some parts of tho country, is ►j that wet socks shoald be dried on the K ; feet. Tliir is not philosophical. — Amerj icon Agriculturist, BUND JOE P ABSORB 07 BALTIMORE. !
