I thought that heaven was shinin upon My heart in that sweet embrace. I’d the Arc to light an the lye to bring As it dripped from the wood ash leach An Marthy to watch as she'd set an sing As putty as a peach. An my yearn in senses was took by storm By each little ennnin trick O’ grace an beauty an swayin form As she stirred the soup ’ith a stick. An lior sunbunnit fell f’um her golden curls— Oh, shucks! I couldn’t hope To tell how fair was that fairest o’ girls As she stirred the b’ilin soap. It’s kind o’ lonesome a-settin hero An thin kin them olo times over. Wat? Marthy?

I i great number of instances Let are t' c c.-ranon of considerable hroii uc-vriLf. generally resulting from tho 1 nuking clown cf the arch—that is, the dh-piucemiiit of Rome of the many lit tin bones of tho loot either from cvi rsrraiu or scire i.'i> use cf tiie muscu¬ lar struc ture. As tk.- weight of tho body constantly rests uyer. (ho foot,there is no opportunity for liie bcuesfo get back to tiieir proper places. The result is that tbeso little bones keep rubbing against each other, and the pain gets more and more severe. Commonly the person afflicted in this way thinks that he or she has rheuma¬ tism and lets it go at that. Until re¬ cently the only remedy was a steel soled shoe that was clumsy and heavy. Tho new device is interesting. It is an “in¬ sole,” curved to fit the foot, made of a bent strip of steel and acting as a spring. It is covered either with leather or with vulcanized rubber to prevent rusting, and, needing no fastening, but simply to be placed in position, it can be changed from ono shoe to another at will. In position it acts simply as a sup¬ port, literally holding tip the bones and giving them an opportunity to slip back into their proper places. While any “in¬ sole” of the approximate shape will give relief, tho best results are reached only when one is especially made from a cast or impression of the foot. A great proportion of the people troubled with flat feet come from the north of Europe, many of them from tho lowlands of Ger¬ many. The inhabitants of the south or Europe, strangely enough, are seldom troubled with anything of the sort. Their insteps, especially in the case of women, are nearly always highly arched and finely formed.—New York Tribune. “Horses With Wheels.” “It was in tho early days of railroad¬ ing in the south,” remarked tho gentle¬ man with the stock of reminiscences the other day. “I was located in Florida about the time when the government had made vassals of tho Seminole Indi¬ ans of that state, and in order to impress the redoubtable Billy Bowlegs, the Te- cumseh of the Seminoles, it had invited that ‘heap big chieftain’ to make a trip to the seat of the national government. Billy was a bit dubious about accepting the invitation, fearing possibly that the great father at Washington might have designs upon his life or happiness, but he was prevailed upon to make the trip, and he embarked on board of the train with a great show of courage. The trains of that period were not the fliers of today—in fact, on many of the short lines the engineers were compelled to get out of their cabs and walk to lighten the train and permit it to proceed at an even rate of speed. When Billy Bow¬ legs returned from bis visit, he had overcome his trepidation and looked with scorn upon the locomotives. I vis¬ ited Billy a day or two after his return and asked him how he liked traveling on the iron horse. “ ‘Huh,’ he said, with an upward twist of his prominent proboscis, ‘horse wid wheels no good! Big heap no good! Me on horse better than two. Run way all time. White man heap smart. In¬ jun heap better. Huh!’ ’’—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Soap of Pompeii. Soap has been in use for 8,000 years and is twice mentioned in the Bible. A few years ago a soap boilor’s shop was discovered in Pompeii, having been bur¬ ied beneath the terrible rain of ashes that fell upon that city 79 A. D. The soap found in the shop had .not lost all Its efficacy, although it h*d been buried 1,800 years.—San Francisoo News Let- ter. Practice Makes Perfect.

Boat Towed by a Saw-Fish. From the Florida Tlmes-Union. The sloop yacht Hull arrived at Jacksonville, Fla., a few days ago. She had on board John P. Roberts of Chicago ; W. J. Purcell of Washing¬ ton and Charles Christian of Miama. The party had been on a cruise through the keys for the last two weeks. The cruise extended as far as Flamingo flats and Cape Sable, where fish, they went to for secure specimens of birds, etc., the National Museum, Washington. A thrilling episode of the cruise was the capture of a sawfish measuring 18} feet. Cruising off' Maduro key they came upon the huge fish, and Roberts, who was keeping a sharp lookout, seized a harpoon and sunk it into the monster’s body. Quick as a flash the fish darted down the channel, making the line whizz out of the boat. Roberts, whose band was burned from the run¬ ning line, called to Purcell to take a turn around the mast. The latter had no time to do so before the end of the line was reached, so he seized it with Roberts, who had nearly gone over¬ board, and together they managed to hold it Christian contrived to make the end fast: Then the fish lowed the boat down the channel. Christian manoeuvred the boat into shallow water, and here Roberts put the grains into him again. Then the his fish made things fly, throwing, in frantic rage, sand and water high into the air. Roberts contrived to get caught in the line, and was in an in¬ stant pulled overboard a distance forty feet from the boat. Being an expert swimmer, be got back without any damage. The towing process be¬ gan again, this time with two lines, and the cruisers went flyiug down the bay like sports behind a spanking team of stallions. After a full hour of this the big fish grew weary and was again hauled alongside, when a big load of buckshot w'as put into him. Still he was not dead, but very weary. Roberts then performed the danger¬ ous feat of getting on his back and placing a line around bis huge jaws. It then required the combined efforts of the three men to haul him on the sands. Purcell got a cut on the foot that he is still nursing. The men, after sizing him up, deci¬ ded that he was a pretty dangerous customer, and might have cut their boat in two with one stroke of his saw. He was eighten and a half feet long, about four and a half feet across the body, and his saw was five and a half feet long. The head was cut off to be mounted. Besides this one, the party captured and got the saws of four others over fifteen feet long and twelve smaller ones. The Savannah Shoe Store, boys, are as vigilant as ever.

It is thought by some medical experts to be caused by poverty of the blood, which condition lowers the tone of the nerves and starves them. Unless the poisons and waste matter in the blood are filtered out of it by the kidneys into the urine, the blood will carry disease instead of nourishment to the nerves. Neuralgia, or pain in the which nerves is the danger to signal or the symptom victim nature uses warn of danger. This condition can be CURED A little while ago I drove into Adrian.
