Bmsklng the limb. Unnecessary If a
Child Can Go Barefooted.
Mrs. Bassett had spent the first five
years of her married life in England
and when she returned to her native
town she brought, together with tho
twins and a baby girl, a great many
novol ideas.
The twins wore 3 years old—fine,
sturdy little fellows, with rosy cheeks
and sparkling eyes, straight limbed
and vigorous as young athletes. Tho
Bassetts were "well to do,” and it was,
therefore a matter of great surprise to
the village in general, and to tho
young mothers in particular, to see the
infant Bassets running about from
morning till night sans shoes and
stockings.
It was soon ascertained that the
baby girl who was just beginning to
walk waa also destitute of these two ar
ticles of attire, and the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children had
serious thoughts of calling upon Mrs.
Bassett and MeraandU-nting in a body
with that derelict matron. ''
Blit A was 'the general opinion that
If Mrs. Bassett ohose to bo unconven
tional she had reasons of her own foV
conduct which might be worthy of
consideration, and it was finally de
cided that a committee of two—ladies
of an inquiring turn of mind—should
visit the Bassett household and furnish
forthwith to the community at large a
report of the various heresies which
practice.

iledpleosimtly when
informed of tha nature of their call.
"I am very willing to talk about my
barefooted babies," she said frankly,
for, to tell tho truth, lam rathor proud
of them. When .thp twins wore ba
bies," she continued, settling herself in
a low chair, "they were treated, I sup
pose, very much liko other children.
They lived out of doors a great deal
and were healthy and strong, but soon
after they began to wulk I noticed in
them a decided tendency to 'too in.' I
was horrified, for if there is one thing
I detest it is a bow legged man, nnd
here wero my little mon of u year and
a half actually setting out on the
crooked journey of tho nursery jingle.
"My friends all said that most chil
dren were bow legged at first and all
that woiild come right itself in tho
course of time.
"I waited with Considerable impa
tience, but saw no signs of improve
ment. Finally I Consulted a doctor
and asked him if I must put iho two
pairs of legs in irons.
" ‘Irons f shouted the doctor. ‘Fid
dlesticks 1 Take off their shoes and
stockings. Their muscles have prob
ably been cramped and weakened al
ready and irons will only incroase the
trouble. Off with their shoes.'
“ ‘But won’t thoy take cold?' I ven
tured to humbly inquire.
“ ‘Cold I’ he said. ‘Why should they?
You don't keep their hands tied up, do
you? If your house is fairly comforta
ble and they are active and vigorous
their feet will be as warm as their
hands. At first perhaps they had bet
ter wear shoes out of doors, but in a
short time they can dispeuse with them
even there, except, of course, in sovere
weather.’
I was uot altogether convinced,
but I thought the experiment worth
trying. Another suggestion which tho
doctor gave me I also found a most
useful one. He advised me to let tho
boys walk up hill, and when they
could not be out of doors to have an
inclined plane arranged in the house
for them to practice on. In the effort
to walk up a steep incline one natur
ally throws the feet outward.
" ‘Let your boys try it for awhile at
any rate,’ said my good doctor. ‘Don’t
cramp their feet and I will wager that
nature will give them as straight legs
and as firm muscles as anybody need
wish for.’
“I have followed ray wise doctor’s
advice; the results you can *eo for
yourself,’’ added the young mother,
proudly, as her two barefooted boys
came running into tbo room.
“But your baby, does she actually
go barefooted, too?” asked one of the
visitors. “Yes, indeed,” replied Mrs.
Bassett. "She has never worn a shoe
in her life. When she goes out for an
airing she wears warm woolen socks,
for until she can walk she cannot of
course take sufficient exercise to keep
her feet warm. But in the house she
is as barefooted as the boys. She is
just beginning to get on lierfeet and
her little bare toes are almost as useful
to her as fingers. They have saved
her many a fall.”—Heme Maker.

How Shrewd Natives Work the American
Traveler* In Ireland.
Irish wit loses much of its keenness
by repetition. Thoroughly to appreci
ate it. one must listen to Pat as on his
native soil ho flushes forth those rapier
like expressions which convulse his
listeners. The larger part of Celtic
wit is epigrammatic. It springs sud
denly from its environments. In In
land it is distilled from almost every
situation. As soon as the American
lauds in Ireland he begins to hear it.
Tho traveler first comes in oontacl
with tho professional beggar at Queens
town. From an ooonomio standpoint
those beggars are the pests of the
Green Isle. They give travelers alto
gether a wrong impression iu regard
to the true nature of the Irishman as
tie is in his native land. Btill the
American cannot help being pleosod
with them on account of their witty
sayings. A reoent traveler in Irelaud
was accosted by one of these profes
sionals. In all essential respects the
beggar closely resembled the Witoh of
Endor. She waa lean and evidently
hungry. She stood in an attitude ex
pressivo of extreme humility, with
her hands clasped before her. She said
nothing, but her attitude was a very
beseechmg one. Thinking from her
look* that she wu deserving of ohar-
ity, the traveler said to hori
"Now, madam, if I give you a shil
ling will you promise not to follow
me around the streets during my stay
in Queenstown?”
"Arruh, sir, may the bleatin’ of
heaven oomo down upon ye, sir; may
yo niver know want, and may ye’er
wife niver attind ye’er funeral.”
Bhe received the shilling iu her
wrinkled palm, aud as long as the
traveler was withinhearing she colled
down blessings upon him. He re
mained in Queenstown one week.
During that time wherever ho wept he
saw tho miserable spectacle of the
poor beggar woman. Her looks al
ways usked for alms. Tills went on
until it liccamo unbearable to tho trav
eler. One morning as he came out of
his hotel ho saw her standing on the
opposite side of the street in the usual
pitiful attitude. To put it mildly, he
was vexed. He decided to put an end
to tho nuisance. Crossing the street
rapidly to whore the woman stood, he
said:
"Madam, didn’t you agree not to
follow tno after I gavo you the shil
ling?"
“Faith, I did, site"
“Well, why in thunder do you fol
low me so?"
The woman smiled uud replied:
"Shure, sir, it’s not mo that’s fuller
in’, ye; it’s ye that's follerin’ me.”
Tbe traveler gave her a sixpence.
There is another nuisance in roost of
the largo Irish towns. It is in the
shape of the small.boy. After leaving
Queenstown the traveler spoken of
above met one of these pocket edition
Coifs at tho Cork station. Said the
boy, who was no more than twice os
large as tho traveler’s valise:
“Wu’d ye lave me carry tbo bag?"
The traveler doubted the boy’s
strength, yet ho yield&l tho valise to
bis eager grasp, The bag was heavy
and the boy gradually became bow
legged in his efforts to carry it. On
arriving at the hotel the traveler gave
the boy sixpence and dismissed him
Ho came out upon the sidewalk an
hour later and found the boy waitiug.
Said the traveler:
"Sonny, I don't need you any long
er.”
"But ye’ll node a guide, sir.”
"No; I can see the city without
help.”
With this the traveler started to go
away, but the boy clung to his coat
tails. Ho stuck closer than a burdock
burr. The sightseer couldn't shake
him off until he used actual violence.
His rebuff did not discourage tho boy,
however, for ho followed for two
hours until he arrived at Patrick’s
bridge. Here, as the tourist stood
watching the myriad gulls in graceful
flight over tho River Lee, be felt
sharp tug at his coat, and, turning
around, saw the boy again.
"Well, my boy, what is it now?”
"It’s gettin’ late,” replied the boy,
"and wud ye pay mo now so I can go
home?”
"Pay you for what?" asked the tour
ist.

Cork, sir!”—Cor. Chicago Herald.
No paper can be published without
home patronage, and every one is in
terested in keeping up a home paper.
If a railroad or factory is wanted, tho
newspapers are expected to work for
it V a public meeting is wanted for
any purpose, the newspaper is called
upon for a free notice. If any of the
societies have a supper or reception of
any kind, the newspaper is expected
to give tbe necessary notice. The news-
C er must puff the school* and every-
y else to advance tbe interest* of
the business men of the place, and
then give them a handsome notice
when they pass away. And yet some
of them do nothing to keep up a home

"I ploait guilty to a good doal of cu

florid face, kindly, twinkling eyes,
and friendly, good natured lines
around tho mouth. "1 would give a
good (leal to know all the oircumstan-
oes of an unusual meeting which I
saW tho other day. I was in an ele
vated train, and on the cross seat op

have been about 4b years old. She waa
still very prvtty ( although her blue
eyes were u little faded. She was the
kind of a woman who, when a girl,
must have been plump, but who hod

complcxipn was as dear uud soft as a

vory gently fashioned. I was study

"They were divorced and this was

ventured another with a laugh.

impatient wave of his hand.
"Bister and brother parted in early
youth by a cruel fate,” cried a third,
determining not to bo outdone in sug
gestions.
Wrong again, so far as I know,”
declared the first speaker.
“Well, the story, then,” in chorus.
"Good. She shot a glance ut my
neighbor and their eyes met. He leaned
forward and took her hand, while her
face blushed liko a school girl’*. Ha
moved over and took a seat next to
her. 'Fifteen years, Mamie,’ I heard
him say, and thon site blushed again.

Remember thut there are few things
one is s6 loth to loan as books—if we
except money. It is curious, too, that
a book, like an umbrella, is commonly
reckoned public property. Few peo-
plo trouble themselves to return it.
Considering the vast cost of even an
unpretending library, this is very ex
asperating to the eager book hunter,
who makes many annual sacrifices
that ho may add a few choice volumes
to his meager store.
Hefinay defend himself, however,
if he will. He may politely decline to
lend his treasures. When you have
borrowed a book you have no possible
excuse for loaning it on your own re
sponsibility. To do so is to violate every
law of good faith, and to incur either
the open or tacit displeasure of the
friend who obliged you.—Chicago
