For the sake of having small feet lYuuiy
an otherwise sensible woman will mar
tyrize herself by pinching those unlucky
members of the body into boots of a size
too small. Asa natural and necessary
result of such pinching confinement, the
foot becomes defoi med and larger than it

-otne corns so annoying and crippling to
a large l class of Young* women. The
worst results of this crippling custom of
wearing small and narrow boots is felt
by children when allowed to outgrow
'heir boots. It is p<s>r economy to allow
the young to wear boots when the feet
have become too large for them, sim-e
deformity of the feet is easily produced
at tliis time. When the boot is too
-hort and the heel too high, the ingrow

result. Children will have sufficient ills
to contend with without this crippling
from deformed feet, the most prominent
cause of which mall and badly-fitting

Faltlou tor i Ulldren*.
Among the latest Parisian fashions in
children's suits, says a New York paper,
are the following models: For a miss
al<out twelve years of age. a pretty suit
is composed of pearl-colored faille and
oachemire, trimmed with seal-colored
feathers. The princess dress is cut in
the English style, and trimmed on the
lower part of the skirt with two plaited
flounces, surmounted by a band of feath
er*. The front of the dress consists of a
plaited faille plastron, the one piece also
forming the deep tumed-down collar.
This is bordered on either side with the
same trimming. Down the middle of
the back of the waist there is also a
plaited faille trimming, forming two
hands, which separate at the waist.
These bands extend down on the skirt,
forming the side trimming of plaited
flounce', with which the back of tlm
skirt is covered. On the lower part of
the plaited hands is a faille pocket,
trimmed with gilt buttons, and a band
of feathers. (In the end is a ribbon bow.
The sleeves have plaited cuffs, trimmed
with buttons and feathers. This feather
trimming can he replaced by fringe.
(Jre<n eachemire and blue faille make an
excellent child’s costume. A deep plait
ed flounce trims the lower riart of the
skirt. It is separated in the center in
front by a plated piece placed crosswise.
Above the plaited flounce is another
narrow one placed on very full, and
taken up in front above the crosswise
plaited piece in a point. It is surmounted
bv a blue faille fold or piping. Loops of
blue ribbon fall over the point. Up the
front of the skirt are three bias hands of
eachemire. finished with a blue faille
cording. They extend up the front in
curves, like the plaited trimming below.
These hands are fastened down on either
side by mother of pearl buckles. A
faille cording is taken across the middle
of the waist in a curve, and sewed in
the seam under the arm. This dress
opens in the hack, from the neck down,
only about twelve inches deep. The
sleeve is trimmed with a faille plaiting,
surmounted by a hand of the same. The
deep collar is of lace applique on it blue
faille collar.
Another combination is plain-colored
faille and ivory-white eachemire de
l'lnde. The faille skirt has two plaited
flounces. From the neck down is a plas
tron plaited in hollow plaits, the plaits
becoming much larger toward the lower
part of the skirt. The eachemire tunique
is cut up in the back. It is open in front
over the plastron, and joined by two
hands buttoning over; one is across the
breast, and the other over the skirt. The
deep collar has faille revere. The sleeves
are trimmed with a faille plaiting, sur
mounted by a cuff of the same goods.
Horrors of a Prairie Fire.
A Topeka (Kan.) correspondent of the
St. Louis Democrat writes: Another
terrible prairie lire is reported from Bit
tie Greek, north of Lincoln Copter, Lin
coln county, which destroyed everything
in its path, and resulted in the death of
three persons. It appears that about
four o’clock in the afternoon Mr. Mont
gomery, one/jf the well-to-do farmers of
that section of the county, and his son, a
hoy of about twelve, were in the field at
work, when they discovered a fire com
ing from the west, and they stopped
their work to keep t lie fire from the
hedge, when the wind suddenly changed
to the north, blowing very hard and
and cold, and hearing before it a second
fire, which came with the fleetness of a
horse. It seems there were two fields
near, on either side, and, seeing their
danger, the boy started to one field and
the father to the other. The hoy was
caught in the flames and fell to the
ground instantly. A neighbor by the
name of Isaac Pfaff, who was passing
near on a mule, galloped up to Air.
Montgomery and induced him to mount
the mule behind him and ride to the
field. Air. Montgomery mounted, but.
seeing his hoy fall, lost all presence of
mind and threw his arms around Air.
Pfaff, catching the bridle reins and
holding the mule still while they were
enveloped in the flames. Both men
dropped to the ground, and the fire
passed over them. The mule ran a short
distance and fe,. -lead. The two men
arose to their feet, and the wind and the
tire took their clothing from them as
they walked to the nearest field about
one hundred yards distant. Air. PfafFs
feet were so badly burned that his hoots
ell from him as li walked. A Air.
Manning came to them from the nearest
house with a couple of quilts, which he
wrapped about the two ten and carried
them to the house. He ten carried the
dead hoy to the house. oth men were
perfectly rational, and conversed freely
with those around theiqgip to within a
few hours of their, death. Air. Mont
gomery lived about two hours, and Air.
Pfaff lived until about 'even o’clock
that light. Ah\ Alontgon. - leaves a

Romance of the Sword.
The custom of naming swords wa 0
not peculiar to the Celtic races, or t.
eomparatively modern times, hut pre
vailed among the earliest nations i J
antiquity. The sword of Julius Caeser,
for instance, was known as Croeea Alors,
or the red death. The champions or
heroes of the Cimbri, according to Plu
tarch, as quoted in Mallet’s Northern
Antiquities, “took particular care to
procure very keen swords, which they
inscribed with mysterious characters,
and called by such names as might in
spirejterror.” And thev not only named
tlieir swords, but their banners; the
banner of Harold Hardrada was called
the Land Ravager: and to this day the
green flag of Ireland is celebrated as the
Sunburst of Erin. We have no modem
epithets to describe the sword, and such
names as we have for our banners are
prosaic enough. AVhat can be more
commonplace than the name of the flag
of Great Britain —the Union Jack? The
star-spangled banner of the United
States takes a less vulgat appellation,
hut spangled is a poor word, and excites
no particular enthusiasm. And ail the
better. To lie fond of implements and
emblems of slaughter, and to talk of
them affectionately, is to he fond of
using them: and it is. *s far as it goes,
a hopeful sign that the weapons’of mod
ern warfare are not considered to have
any romance or poetry about them, ’*ut
are held at best to he the necessary evils
of our expanding hut. still imperfect
civilization, and leads men to think of
the time so long in coming, but which
all of uij hope will come at last, “when
swords will lie turned into plowshares,
and spears into pruning oks.’’ —All the

A .Singing Book.
Another curious phenomena ot sound
is the singing book, now a philosophical
toy. Thanks to M. Pollard, navy en
gineer of Clierliourg, it is within every
intelligent person’s reach. You place
a small book on the table, the floor or a
fcliimney-piece, and presently it distinct
1> emits songs, sacred and profane, or
duets by a piano, or harp and violin
solos. The hook is composed of ordinary
paper. leaves of the latter, alternating
with some of tin. The metal leaves are
united, the last two with an electric cur
rent, forming thus a condenser. The
top and bottom sides of the volume com
municate with an electric wire running
along the wall, but concealed, and ter
minating in a pile in another room.,
where the speaker or the singer, etc.,
“ deposits" the sounds of Iris. voice in a
wooden mouthpiece containing a metal
plate and a stylus, which,- touching a
spring, sets free the electric currents and
transmits the sound to the book, when l
it is repeated—a phenomenon not yet
capable of being satisfactorily explained.

A Story of Carlyle.
We all know he is a worker: but not
all men know to how severe a test his
industry, patience ami courage were
once put. He lent his manuscript of the
French Revolution to the late Mr. Mill,
who in turn lent it to Mrs. Taylor. She,
through some unaccountable carelessness,
allowed it to drop from her hand .to the
floor (the lady cannot have slept over
the most glowing and picturesque of nar
ratives) without picking it up, ar and the
next morning a housemaid duly lighted
the fire with the priceless leaves. Mill
went to recount the mishap to his friend,
and looked so thoroughly miserable that
Carlvie, so far from uttering a syllable
of reproach, was at much pains ro con
sole him. But the loss was a real calam
ity. for Carlyle had kept no copy, and
the rewriting of the work be has de
scribed as “ anguish. 1 ' It was accom
plished in six months.
TIMELY TOPICS.
Herr Krupp, the famous German gun
maker, has just eclipsed all his former
, efforts by constructing anew steel can
non, which is the largest piece of steel
ordnance yet made. It weighs seventy
two tons, is thirty-two feet long, and has
a caliber of twenty-one and three-fourth
inches, while that of the English eighty
ton guns has only eighteen inches. The
charge for this monster gun i$ to be 385
lbs. of prismatic powder, the projectile
being a chilled iron shell weighing 1.660
pounds and liaving a bursting charge of
twenty-two pounds of powder. The
force of the shot on leading the gun is
estimated at 31,000 foot-tons, and it is
calculated that when pointed at an angle
of forty-three degrees with the horizon
the gun will throw its projectile a dis
tance of fifteen miles.
The last circular of the Illinois State
board of agriculture gives the following
table, which is of interest. The shrink
age of values of farm crops of late years,
owing to the depression of business and
large yield of some of the leading staples,
was proportionately better in 1878 than
most articles of merchandise, as may be
seen by a comparison of the average
prices for the State the past three years:

The discovery of petroleum has saved
many a penny to the poor by bringing
light to tlieir houses at a low price. But
in some of the towns of the petro’enai
districts, the new discovery is also made
to serve as fuel. In East Livonia, Ohio,
the gas wells stem to hold an inexhaust
ible supply. An extensive system of
piping carries the gas into the houses,
where, in stoves properly constructed,'
it does all the cooking and warming.
-Many families in the place use no other
fuel than this gas. They find it, adequate
for all their needs. In the street lamps
it is allowed to burn by day as well as
by night, because it costs more to turn it
off than to consume it. Great pottery
manufactures are carried on in the town,
the gas supplying all the heat. As the
wells have been in use twenty years with
out any sign of exhaustion, the people
feel no anxiety about their future supply.
East Livonia is a good place to emigrate
to when gas bills grow burdensome.
A mound similar to those so common
in the Western States was recently found
and opened in Japan, and scientific ex
amination of its contents affords ground
for a very strong argument, that eanni
balism was practiced, perhaps habitually
by some of the anciept inhabitants of
that country. That the Omori mound
was not a tomb was sufficiently shown
by the fact that the skeletons found in it
were never complete, and that the bones
lay about in disorder, and in no relation
to each other, whereas the hones of
buried bodies would he found approxi
mat 'y in some position possible in life.
Aloreover, the human bones were found
among those of other animals, and, like
them, were broken into lengths conven
ient for cooking and eating, and were
deeply scratched in those portions, such
as the joints, from which the eater would
find most difficulty in removing the flesh.
The discovery is a curious qne, as it is
lie first indication of cannibalism among
a people whose characteristics as at pre
sent known strongly negative the prac
tice by them of so horrible a custom.
But similar evidence was held by archae
ologists sufficient to prove the former ex
istence of cannibals in North America.
Bishop Colenso has issued a form ol
prayer, to be used during the Zulu war,
m South Africa, in which occurs this
passage: “ Watch over, we beseech Thee,
all near and dear to us, and all our fellow
men, whether white or black, engaged in
this deadly struggle.”

Food Temperance.
A New York correspondent says: I
was talking with a gentleman the other
day who has spent nearly thirty yeara at
a hotel in New York, hale, hearty, vig
orous—outliving by a decade his associ
ates in hotel life. “ Yes,” he said, “ I
have outlived all my companions. Most
of them were younger than myself, and
give promise of a much longer life.
Their style of living ruined them. The
bill of fare was large and generous. They
paid for what was in it, why not eat ?
They began with soup and ended with
nuts and raisins. Their diet palled on
their nalates. Vigorous condiments were
added to give their food relish. Copious
draughts of liquor were enjoyed. They
lived a fast life, and had a fast life’s re
ward. My style of living is entirely dif
ferent. I regarded the hotel as my home,
where I was to live for years. The spread
was affluent, but my living was simple.
I changed my soup daily. I confined
myself to one kind of meat, and changed
it every day. The dessert was vaned
enough to give me seven new courses a
week. Sometimes I had coffee, some
times tea, sometimes milk, and then oc
casionally water. My associates were
always ailing, always in need of the doc
tor. The hotel’s physician made me a
friendly call occasionally; I have not
sent for him in twenty-five years. I
have seen many a man eat himself out
,of house and home. I have followed
many an associate to the grave who died
from over-eating and a bad digestion.
I am here, hale and hearty, with a de
cade longer to live.”
A Frightful Scene.
During an exhibition of some wild
beasts recently, at the theater in a small
town in Thuringia, Germany, a frightful
cene occurred. A leopard was not nearly
so submissive to the tamer as usual, and
dashed wildly about the cage. Suddenly
two of the bars gave way, and the ani
mal sprang with a tremendous bound
among the spectators in the pit. The
terrified peple rushed pell-mell to the
door, but the beast attacked the hinder
most of them with his teeth and claws,
and in four minutes had killed a woman
and a child, and fearfully lacerated four
other persons about the face and neck.
The moment the leopard escaped from its
cage the beast tamer and his assistants
hurried after it, armed with spears, but
were unable to overcome it until it drop
ped dead from its wounds. On examining
the broken bars of the. eager it was dis
covered that they had been filed. An
attendant, lately dismissed for drunken
ness, was arrested on suspicion of being
the author of this atrocious deed.

A World Wide Keimtatlon.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, having acquired a reputa
tion in the treatment ol chronic diseases result
ing in a professional business far exceeding his
individual ability to conduct, some years ago
induced severul medical gentlemen to associate
themselves with him as the faculty of the
World’s Dispensary, the consulting depart ment
of which lias since been merged with the In
valids’ hotel. The organization has now been
completed and incorporated under the statute
enacted by the legislature of the State of New
York, under the name and style of the “ World’s
Dispensary Medical Association.”
We clip the following trtjm the Buffalo
Express:
A branch of the “ World’s Dispensary Medi
cal Association” is to he established in London,
Eng., a step which the continually-ncreasing
European business of the Dispensary- has been
found to warrant, and next week Dr. B. T.
Bedortha will sail for the great metropolis
named, to superintend the organization of the
new institution. This gentleman has been for
some lour years associated with Dr. Pierce in
a position of responsibility, and is well qualified
for the duty now entrusted to him. Hereto
fore the foreign business of the World’s Dis
pensary has been transacted through the
agency of prominent druggists, but it has as
sumed such proportions as to require more di
rect care. Dr. Bedortha will no doubt success
fully carry out his mission, beiug a gentleman
of excellent business abilities and most pleas
ing address.
Perfect purity is restored to the circulation
when contaminated, if Scovill’s Blood and Liver
Sirup is taken. Scrofulous, syphilitic and mer
curial disorders are completely - vanquished by
it, persistence in the use of the remedy being
alone required to accomplish a cure. Erup
tions of all kinds, sores, chronic rheumatism,
gout, liver complaint and goitre yield to its
remedial action, and it not only purifies the
blood hut vitalizes the system. Sold by all
druggists.
