Treatment of the Feet. A writer in Boots and Shoes has been interviewing a chiropodist on the care of the feet and has got this information from him considering the treatment for heated, tired feet after walking or standing: He says, truly enough, that authorities differ as to the value of the various foot baths. "Hot water enlarges the feet by drawing the blood to them. When used, they should be rubbed or exercised before attempting to put on a tight boot. Mustard and hot water in a foot bath will cure a nervous headache and induce sleep. Bunions and corns and callousness are nature's protestations against bad shoe leather. Two hot foot baths a week and a little pedicuring will remove the cause of much discomfort.

"A warm bath, with an ounce of sea salt, is almost as restful as a nap. Paddle in the water until it cools, dry with a rough towel, put on fresh stockings, make a change of shoes and the person who was 'ready to drop' will then be

ready to stand up. But the quickest re-

lief from fatigue is to plunge the foot in ice cold water and keep it immersed until there is a sensation of warmth. Another tonic for the sole is alcohol. It dries the feet nicely after being out in the wet. Spirit baths are also used by professional dancers, acrobats and pedestrians to keep the feet in condition."

The ice cold foot bath seems rather a dangerous remedy to persons unaccustomed to it, and the caution is suggested to experiment with it in very mild weather.

A Practical Woman. Mrs. W. G. Harris, president of the Ladies' Benevolent society of the First Baptist church of Boston and an active worker in the Ladies' Needlework guild has started a new scheme for collecting funds for the poor. She has put up dainty mite boxes in the corridors of the Parker House and the Tremont House, with cards attached asking for contributions to be used only in cases which she has personally investigated and found deserving. She has visited and relieved about 60 persons during three weeks.--Boston Commonwealth.

Harriet Monroe's Test Case. The New York World is defendant in a suit for $25,000 damages, brought by Miss Harriet Monroe, author of the World's fair one[?], which was printed in advance of the delivery. Miss Monroe proposes to make a test of the right of newspapers to publish addresses before their delivery, and the outcome will be watched with interest by all interested in journalism. A stranger in a New York restaurant the other day created excitement by ordering and eating five sirloin steaks.

TREATMENT BY INHALATION!

1529 Arch St., Philad'a, Pa.

For Consumption, Asthama, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay

Fever, Headache, Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia,

And all Chronic and Nervous Disorders.

It has been in use for nearly a quarter of a century. Thousands of patients have been treated, and more than 1000 physicians have used it and recommended it. It is agreeable. There is no nauseous taste, nor aftertaste, nor sickening smell. We give below a few of the great number of testimonials which we are constantly receiving from those who have tried it, published with the express permission in writing of the patients.

"Please accept my sincere gratitude for the restored life of happiness and health and vigor and usefulness that the Compound Oxygen has certainly given me. "While I was always considered to be a healthy child, I was known to be dyspeptic from babyhood. It was inherited. For two years I was confined almost constantly to the lounge. For more than four years I did not know a moment free from pain. All this time dyspepsia con- tinued its ravages, except when temporarily relieved, and aggravated other serious disorders. My friends and physicians thought I would not recover. To-day I am entirely cured of dys- pepsia, can enjoy articles of food that I never dared use before in all my life. For the past year I have been up and going in ease and health, with sufficient vigor to take some part in domes- tic work of the most laborious nature. As my strength continues to improve, since leaving off Oxygen, I feel that I can conscientiously recom- mend the treatment, not only to cure (provided the doctors' directions are observed), but to be lasting in its beneficial effects. "MISS JAMIE MAGRUDER, "Oak Hill, Florida." "The Oxygen Treatment you sent me for C. O. Harris, a year ago, one of my missionaries from West Africa, whose life was in jeopardy on account of lung trouble and a severe cough, he now testified has greatly benefited him. He has entirely recovered his health, married a wife, returned to his work in Africa, and taken his wife with him. Bishop WILLIAM TAYLOR, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. "Compound Oxygen..Its Mode of Action and Results" is the title of a book of 200 pages published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cures in a wide range of cases--many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will be mailed free to any address on application. Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia. 120 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal. Please mention this paper.

FLYING MACHINES. Inventor Edison Says That the Problem Is Sure to Be Solved. Mr. Edison laughed heartily when informed that Chicago was the hotbed of the world for airship inventors. "I know it," he said. "They haven't found the secret yet, but they will some day. It will come." "Have you ever entered the airship field yourself?" asked the reporter. "Yes, indeed, I have. I have tried a number of devices, but they haven't worked. Once I placed an aerial motor on a pair of Fairbanks scales and set it going. It lightened the scales, but it didn't fly." And the wizard laughed at the recollection. "Another time I rigged up an umbrellalike disk of shutters and connected it with a rapid piston in a perpendicular cylinder. These shutters would open and shut. If I could have gotten sufficient speed, say a mild a second, the inertia or resistance of the air would have been as great as steel, and the quick operation of these shutters would have driven the machine upward, but I couldn't get the speed. I believe that before the airship men succeed they will have to do away with the buoyancy chamber. But the secret will come out some day, I am sure. Like the world at large, which ridiculed the first locomotive, the first telephone and almost every great innovation, Edison takes a humorous view of all his experiments and seemingly enjoys a failure. "I have tried all kinds of plans to explain psychical force," he said, with a smile. "We experimented on hypnotism by placing a man's head in an immense magnetic plane, but it didn't work. We tried telepathy, too, but without success." "Have you any more wonders like the phonograph in the experimental stage?" "No, nothing but the kinograph, which is now almost perfect. It reproduces, by a rapid succession of small photographs, every motion of an object. It was very hard to get the exact grimaces of the face or the clear workings of a man's fingers playing the piano, but we perfected it at last. I was very anxious to have one on exhibition at the fair, but we did not have it finished in time."--Chicago Inter Ocean.

Wig and Gown.

It was once the invariable practice of barristers to powder their wigs, but this custom has now almost entirely disappeared from the bar. Only one advo-

cate, so far as we are aware, saves it from absolute death, and he is Sir Henry James, whose black shoulders are always

sprinkled with the white powder that falls from his wig. This distinguished lawyer shows that wig and gown may be worn in more ways than one. His gown never fails to slip from his shoulders while he is addressing the court, and he is accustomed to herald each fresh argument he brings to hear upon the case by attempting to restore the fallen gown to its proper place. In this respect he resembles another eminent Q. C., Mr. Finlay, whose gown is always half away down his back. Sir Charles Russell and Sir Richard Webster and the other leaders of the bar do not display any peculiarities in the wearing of their wigs and gowns. There is at least one well known member of the bar who, not content with permitting his gown to slip down his waist, wears his

wig at an angle that perilously approaches his nose.--London Tit-Bits.

A BUDDHIST "LIFE OF CHRIST." A Record of Immense Interest Discovered In a Monastery In Tibet. A Buddhist "Life of Christ" of immense interest to the religious world has been discovered in a monastery in Tibet by Nicholas Notovitch, a Russian traveler. He tried vainly to negotiate for its purchase. He happened to break a leg and was taken to a monastery. While there a Lama read to him the precious record, which was in the Pali language, and Notovitch took down a full translation. Christ is known to the Buddhists as the prophet Issa. This is a brief summary of his life: Issa was born of Jewish parents. He was poor, but belonged by birth to a family of exalted piety which had forgotten its former greatness on earth, magnified the Creator and thanked him for the misfortunes with which he was pleased to try them. From his childhood he preached one God. On coming of age, 13, instead of marrying, he fled from his father's house and went with merchants to Sind. At 14 he was living among the Aryas. One day he broke away from the Brahmans. He denied the divine origin of the Vedas and the incarnation of Para Brahma. He learned Pali and was initiated into the mysteries of pure Buddhism. Then he went westward, preaching against idols. He was 29 years old when he returned to Judea. He began to preach, but his popularity alarmed Pontius Pilate. The latter summoned the priests and learned men to try Issa. The tribunal examined Issa and pronounced him innocent. Issa continued to speak to the people, inculcating obedience to Caesar and respect for womankind. The spies which Pilate set to watch him sent disquieting reports of the enthusiasm of the multitude. The governor, fearing a mutiny, caused Issa to be imprisoned, tortured and tried before the sanhedrin with two thieves. False witnesses were bribed. The governor then called a witness who, at the bidding of Pilate, had betrayed Issa.

This man came, and speaking to Issa said:

"Did you not claim to be the king of Israel when you said that the Lord of heaven had sent you to prepare his people?" Issa, having blessed him, said, "You shall be forgiven, because what you say does not come from your heart." Turning to the governor, Issa said, "Why humble your pride and teach your inferiors to live in falsehood, since even without that you are able to condemn an innocent man?" At these words the governor fell into a rage and ordered the death of Issa, while he discharged the thieves. The judges, having deliberated, said to Pilate: "We will not take upon ourselves the great sin of condemning this innocent man and absolving two thieves. The thing is contrary to our laws. Do, therefore, as you please." Having thus spoken, the priests and wise men went out and washed their hands in a holy vessel, saying, "We are innocent of the death of the just man." Issa and the thieves were crucified, but on the third day Issa's sepulcher was found open and empty.--London Letter.

Philadelphia's Waltzing Mice.

Lately the employees at the Philadelphia Zoological garden have been amused by the antics of some queer little animals which are not on public exhibition. The newcomers are black and white Japanese waltzing mice, seven in number. When let out of their cages, they wink at each other and step gracefully forward with a movement which some of the beholders declare is a bow. Head Keeper Manley whistles "Annie Rooney," and the mice skip away in pairs with a queer, whirling motion. When he strikes up "The Bowery," they revolve so fast that nothing can be seen but little gray balls. "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" causes them to "swing corners" and dance "all hands around." Once the owner ventured to play the "Dead March" while they were dancing. With a whisk of their tails the little rodents fled to the cages like a man pursued by the nightmare.--Phila-

delphia Inquirer.

A Saving Investment.

"I pawned two beautiful pictures for $5 apiece some months ago," said a man about town. "I was opposed by a spirit of economy at the time, and had given up my room in the hotel to go where living was cheap. I was going to put the pictures on storage, when the idea of pawning them occurred to me. Storage would have cost me about $[?] a month, and I should not have been insured against damage then. There was no danger of their not being well cared for by the pawnbroker, though, for it was

to his interest to keep them safely, so that he could sell them at a high figure if I failed to redeem them. I had the use of $10 for four months, and all I had to pay for that and the storage was $1.20, or 3 per cent a month. That beats

any other snap[?] I ever invented.--New

York Sun.

TEN MILES ABOVE EARTH. Interesting Experiments at the Highest Point a Balloon Ever Reached. One of the most interesting experiments with balloons that has ever been undertaken was that of Messrs. Hermite and Besancon at Paris-Vanguard. They succeeded in sending a balloon to the unprecedented elevation of 16,000 meters, or about 10 miles! There were no people in the balloon, but it carried a variety of self registering instruments designed to record the temperature, the atmospheric pressure, etc. The little balloon was started on its lofty trip about noon, when the air was remarkably still and clear. It rose rapidly and in three-quarters of an hour had attained an elevation of 10 miles, at which height it remained for several hours.

It was there subjected to an atmospheric pressure only about one eighth as great as that at the surface of the earth, and M. Hermite explains its floating for so long a time at a constant height by supposing that the temperature does not vary sensibly with the elevation of the floating body after the latter has attained an altitude where seven-eighths of the atmospheric pressure is lacking and where there remains no trace of water vapor.

But toward 6 o'clock, when with the decline of day the temperature began rapidly to fall, the balloon started back toward the earth, arriving with a gentle motion, which did not disturb the instruments it carried, at 7:11 at Chauvres, near Paris-Vanguard, from which it had started. The balloon was visible with a telescope during the entire time. It shone like the planet Venus, seen by day. By means of a micrometer attached to an astronomical telescope, the apparent diameter of the balloon could easily have been measured, and this would have furnished a means of calculating its altitude independent of the record of the

barometer which it carried.

The barometer and thermometer were furnished with automatic pens driven by clockwork, by means of which diagrams

of the changes of pressure and temperature that the balloon experienced were obtained. At the height of about 7½ miles the thermometer marked a temperature of 60 degrees F. below zero. Then the ink in the registering pens of both the thermometer and the barometer became frozen and the records were

interrupted.

But as the balloon continued to rise the ink was thawed again, and at the 10 mile level the automatic records were renewed. The temperature registered there was only about 6 degrees below zero. The increase of temperature is ascribed to the effect of the unclouded sun heat-

ing the air in the basket that contained the instruments. The lowest record of the barometer was 108 millimeters, or a trifle more than four inches.

M. Hermite calls attention to the fact that the density of the air at the height of 10 miles, where the balloon remained during most of the afternoon, is less than that existing upon the plains of the moon, on the assumption that the atmospheric density on the moon is proportional to the force of gravity at the surface of that orb.

If this is correct, then the instruments would have behaved about the same if M. Hermite had been able to place them on the moon, as they did when he sent them only 10 miles above the earth.--Youth's Companion.

Crests.

If you have a crest--and if you haven't your jeweler can design one for you at a small expense--do not be satisfied with engraving it on your silver, embroidering it on house and personal linen and painting it on the panels of your carriage, but put it on your front door also, this way: Your front door is either of heavy grained oak, bearing an iron knocker, the upper half of glass overlaid with a wrought iron grille, or it is all of white enamel, bears a brass knocker and the number of the house in inlaid Roman numerals of brass. The supper panels of the house are replaced by a heavy sheet of French plate glass set in a brass rim. So far very good. Now, inside that glass must be covered by a curtain to screen your privacy from the outer world. Be sure the curtain is of the finest French muslin, gathered above and below on brass rods, and right in the center of the curtain must appear in French embroidery your crest, elaborately worked, so that whoever rings your bell may know that you do not lack one, and that you are not ashamed to show it to the world.--Demorest's Magazine.

Mails from Abyssinia. An unexpected item of news which has just transpired will delight the heart of every philatelist. The king of kings, the successor of King Solomon, has written to the Universal Postal association at Bern, announcing his intention to enter the Postal union. We shall conse-

quently have Abyssinian postage stamps, for the king of kings is none other than King Menelek of Abyssinia. Many things will doubtless happen on the banks of the Nile before the first postoffice opens in Abyssinia. But we live in strange times, when savages are be-

coming civilized and civilized nations are becoming savages."--European Herald.

Sunlight. Apropos of the effect of exposure in sunshine in destroying microbes, Mrs. Percy Frankland, in Longman's, notes the interesting fact that exact experiments conducted in the lake of Geneva to ascertain by means of photographic plates the depth to which the sun's rays penetrated showed that they could not reach beyond 352[?] feet, at which depth the intensity of the light is equal to that which is ordinarily observed on a clear but moonless night.

Women and Bank Accounts. Mr. Paul, president of the G[?]ws bank of New York, thinks that "every wife in the land should have a bank account on her wedding day and something, however small, deposited to her credit by her father or husband. Let her pay her bills with checks. Let her make them out for [?] they are required. A little [?] the very best [?]. In [?] a young woman [?] teaches her the real meaning of [?].

Dutch Workmen.

In an interesting and comprehensive report of no small literary merit fur-

nished to the labor commission and just presented to parliament Mr. Geoffrey

Drage gives the results of his [?] of

inquiry in Holland. "The Dutch workman," he writes, "is thorough and steady, but not remarkable for speed in his

work. Hence the long hours of labor which prevail in most occupations are not to be burdensome, provided that the laborer may work in the leisurely

fashion that suits him best." Infrequency of strikes is attributed

partially to lack of excitability and to "steady common sense, which prevents its possessors from being led away by

any schemes not of a distinctly practical kind." The people generally have been slow to recognize or require as to interference in labor questions, but [?] the last 20 years laws have been passed in regard to the employment of women and children which have turned attention in that direction.--London News.
