a Shrew by Her Bootmaker
A woman ofte'i gets a reputation as
m shrew, when her shoemaker is re-t-tnm&ible.
To keep sweet when the
t- opg pinch requires mote self-con-
il than Is inherent in tni.r.at. iiatur.:.
if is tiurprlsiiie how much l.unlly
f juti depends on foot health. The
. oilier whose feet ache Is not in
inJJiJan to grapple with household
i toiilHtna. She has e:iogh troubles
til ber own, so when cook burns the
rvast and Bobby te: rs his new suit, it
u the proverbial Btraw that breaks
the temper.
Oddly enough, the sufferer with hur
U?et rarely realizes that such lnsigui
ticant cause could be responsible tor
strained nerve and general dUcom
fort. Yet doctors have told us thai
no other part 01 the body has more
direct lntljence c the gene.'al health
Therefore tt behooves wo:ueu to
look, to the health of theii feel. If
they are sensitive, let then buy ex
pensive shoes trough t beems extra
.usance. Nothing Is wasted that
works for sweetened living.
U is also well tor the woman whose
feet trouble her to have several puirj
of siloes, that she can change tuum
.Turn. It is a restful practice to tio
a minula or so in the midst of u lni)
ttiiy. so to the bathroom, put t:;e n-ji
lii xiU or hot water, whichever fcive
juickebt relief, and don fresh biiuo
una stockings.
Newspaper talk, say you, busy moia
ut Try the plan and see if hie la
not raster and burdens more cheer
lutiy carried thereby.
It also pays to take time night and
morning to look .o the health of the
rtl. The daily bath should never bo
neglected.
Cars of the Feet.
The feet deserve much better care
than they usually receive. It is a
good investmen. to pay ocasional vis
its to a skilled chiropodist, though not
afflicted with corns. You can pick
up many hints how to keep the feet
in condition, hence make life more.
rcs'fuL
riven ti.e nails of the foot play a
part In family welfare, and should be
looked after. Neglected toenails that
k allowed to trow too long or are
t filed wear holes, in stockings, and
.- burden of darning is made heavier,
they do not give actual pain,
tisw many women know that naila
... juld be kept rather shcrt and be
. t squarely across? If cut !n a round
tug enape the pressure falls on the
centre of the nail and causes It to
grow in, more especially on the big
toe.
SV '.Id this trouble be present it
ciu sometimes be relieved by cutting
a small notcn in the middle . of the
nail or by forcing a bit of cotton un
der one side of the nail to force It up
uud out.
If one has had a harassing day Ufa
will iixk much less blue and insomnia
will be warded off if before retiring
ooe soa.s the feet In a bucket of hot
water to which u couple of tablespoon
ulii of vinegar have been mixed. Life
will take a new tint In ten minutes.
Bathing the ieet with alcohol
when tired is also restful, or rubbing
them with a little cocoa butter after a
mustard bath.
Corns are pests that make a vixen
fan temper also excusable. Vet they
are, curable. A neglected corn has
been responsible for manj, a child
beating, and many youngsters gauge
the maternal temper by whispering
-B! other's feet hurt to-day; you'd bet
ter be good."
Thj surest preventive for corn' Is a
perfect-fitting shoe and absolute clean
linesa. Whey they first arrive they
may be kept quiet by tyltg the feei
up at night with a piece of leuiou ovet
the offending member.
Soak the next day in hot water
This, if repealed tor several night,
will so soften the corn that it can be
easily pinched out Never cut a corn;
blood polconlng is worse, on the
whole, than a bad disposition and
scolded family.

COOKING IN Jl KER

velopment of Flreless Stove.
Wireless telegraphy s not accom
plished entirely without wires, and
flreless cookery Is not arrived at
without fire. The ndvantago of the
latter system of cookery la that a lit
tle tire goes a great way in that the
operation of cooking havln-j been
started in the regulation manner eith
er 0:1 a coal or gas stove, it is con
tinurd through the ent'.ii process to
the end In the Improved cooker with
out the further use of tire. Viands
in the course tf treatment are thor
oughly cooked without the least dan
ger of burning, and demand no watch-
fui care sucn as ts required when t'.ie
articles are being cooked in the regu
lation manner on a stove. The iati-L-t
form of a flreless cooker Is that of a
keg as shown herewith. The Jacket
of the cooker Is made In the same
manner as the best liquor kegs of
quartered white oak, with the grain
running crosswise so that they will
not seep, soak or absorb. It has a
steel lid or top, which la fastened se
curely by a single turn of the eccen
tric knuckle. The cooking receptacle
is arranged to rest on a steel rim, so
that the can docs not come !:i contact
with the Jacket, thus leaving a vacu
um chamber between the outer and
inner wall. This affords an insulator.
and Is a non-conductor of heat or cold.
The cooking in an apparatui of thia
kind is done by schedule. The cook
knows which viands require the long
est treatment, and these are subjected
to the heal of the gas burner or stbve
for a slightly longer period than oth
ers, and the schedule tells how soon
the articles will be ready to be tak
en from the cooker, although no harm
is done by leaving them in a longer
period.
TRAIL OF THE PET FERN.
Mr.
Man Will Walk' Throuqh Six
Rooms to Flick Ashes on It.
After supper Mr. Man lights a cigar
and sits down for a comfortable
smoke. His wife, with a regard for
husband and the neatness of her home
evenly divided, places ail ash tray
on the table near him, and a cuspidor
on the floor. The man is comfortable
and happy, and would get mad if any
household disturbance caused him to
leave his chair, but he notices ashes
on the end of his cigar, and gets up,
passes the ash holder aud cuspidor.
and crosses the room to drop the
ashes on his wife's pet fern. The
wife has piled as many as ten ash
trays near the man, and surrounded
him with cuspidors, but he ignores all
of them to tiud his way to the pet
fern. Tha wlfo objects, aud has
been known to put the pet fern
in another room to save it. but
the man passes the ash trays and
cuspidors and walks into the next
room to flick off the ash on his cigar.
The same man will walk through six
rooms, if need be, and pass 375 burnt
match holders, to drop his match be
side the pet fern. It does no good for
the woman to object, or to invest all
her pin money in more ash trays.
burnt match holders and cuspidors,
for the man will never see them on
his way to the pet fern. And, so far
as domestic history relates, this la
the only recognition the man ever
gives his wife's plants. And he nev
er does give recognition to the ash
trays, cuspidors or burnt match hold
ers. A TREE PUZZLE.

TRIPLE MIRROR NEEDED.
f-ortunate Indeed It Woman
Who
Owns Full-length One.
Women nowadays do not vainly
sigh. "Wad some power the glftie gte
us, to fee ourselves as others see us."
They make that sight possible with
triple mirrors.
The woman wb. values beauty,
who goes In for It as a line art, is not
content to know jow she looks from
one vantage point, she wishes to ap
pear well at any and every angle.
However carefully one may adjust
collar p. .is, fasten up stray locks and
gird the wtist line before the ordinary
dressing table, there are unlimited
possibilities lor things going awry.
Not so with the triple mirror! Used
faithfully at each dressing, one can
know to a certclnty whether she tur
tles her neck or curries it gracefully
poised so as to eliminate the double
chin as much as possible.
She can see for herself whether the
new pointed collar Is becoming or
merely stylish, .hether the points are
so place- as 10 shove the flesh for
ward in a wrlnkle-makins way, or so
tight as to make the flesh rise In an
ugly line above it.
Without the aid of a convenient re
flection in triplicate one cannot tell If
trimming at the back of one's frock
gives a round-shouldered effect or If
hooks gap seen at certain angles, as
they have been known to do, no mat
ter if a small fortune has been paid
ou the gown.
in hat and coiffure knowledge the
triple mirror is worth its price many
times over. The least difference in
adjustment may mean the difference
between good looks and ugliness.
One noted manicure even insists
upon her patron, using a triple mirror
when they manicure the hands; thus
only, she declar-o, can they avoid ugly
poses and keep their hands as thy
ure seen by their neighbor at card
table or dinner.
Fortunate indeed is the woman who
possesses a full-length triple mirror,
but if that is out of the question every
one who values a correct appearance
should strive to own one In which
the upper part u the body can bo
seen as "others se It."

"NOTIONS
Scientific investigations have prov
ed that milk in a raw state 'should
never be glveu to children. Those
who cannot buy properly treated milk
should treat It at home. This can be
done by observing these simple direc
tions:
1. Bring the milk slowly to a boll,
and when It reaches the boiling point
bottle It Instantly, cork tightly, and
cool It,
2. Never give milk that la mors
than twenty-four hours old to an in

3. Keep the milk near ice and never
leave a milk bottle uncorked.
4. Cleanse and scald all bottles be

THE POSTJOY PASSESl
Hla Picture not Upon the New Special
Delivery Stamp.
The historic post boy passed Into
history with the arrival of a
new assortment of special delivery
stamps, watch Lear designs minus the
mythical youth on a bicycle. Post
boys thstnselves were abolished from
the service about two years ago, but
the design of the boy riding a wheel
was retained on the special delivery
stamps. The new stamps are smaller
than the old ones and are scarcely
bigger than the new fifteen cent Is
sues. Since the beginning of the postal
system there hai been a place in its
heart for the ;ont boy. It was the
post boy of our grandmothers and
grandfathers who delivered the mail
at til times of the year, and whose
picture adorned the early Issues of
stamps. Through softness of heart
the Government at Washington al
lowed his figure to be kept on the
special delivery stamps, but now he
has to go. The early stamps pictured
him riding at breakneck speed on a
horse, the later ones put him on a
railroad train or mail cart, then he '
ran on foot for a while, and then he
was given a bicycle.
When It came time for the new
stampj the officials were confronted
with the problem of a boyless mall
service. All the post office clerks
are men more than twenty-one years
o'fl, nnd even Ihj substitutes who stay
in the office during the summer have
to pass civil service examinations.
The boy has no place In the modern
)'o -it office, although his elimination
has been completed only within the
last few years.
The new style stamp Is much dif
ferent from the old. It is much more
conspicuous, being green In color,
with glaring Fdt,es that catch the
eye. Since the ooev wa- tssuea in
Washington dol.ir away with the
necessity of purchasing special deliv
ery stamps there has been a total
falling off of about '2,000,000 special
livery stamps. It Is advised by of-
'.rlals at the office that special deliv
ery stamps be used on letters Instead
of usln? the ordinary ones, as they
quickly catch the eye of the men hand
ling them and are sure- of being rec
ognized.
A CYCLONE FREAK.

New York City. On June 4 .last the

the curious effects produced by one
of these, and for the following brief
Information, says Scientific American.
That a number of houses .should
have been wholly and In part destroy
ed Is naturally to be expected of any
cyclone that U at all violent. But
that it should pick up a caster from
a table, tist oft the handle and drive
the spindle through the branch of a
walnut tree Is surely no common oc
currence. Mr. Brlcker assures us that
before the storm the caster found a
place on the table of Mr. G. F. Franks,
that it war intact with the bottles In
their Intended positions; yet after the
tornado the base was found In a wal
nut tree limb, exactly as it is shown
in the accompanying photograph. The
wind bad unscrewed the top and tak
en off the turntable. One of the bot
tles was found with twigs densely
packed Into Its neck, without a leaf
stripped. The bottle, however, was
broken.
Tent 8tove-plpe Opening,
If a stove Is used in a tent there
must be an opei ing for the stove pipe.
and this should be lined with some
thing which will not burn. An ordl
nary piece of tin sewed Into a bole
In the roof answers every purpose,
except that oa a windy day it is very
noisy. For ray last camping trip I
made an arrangement which proved
satisfactory. It can be duplicated as
iuiiuwi; nrsi git tne material, a
piece of zinc 12x14 Inches, a piece ot
asbestos cord two fet long, and a pair
ot leather shoe laces. In tha center
of the zinc cut an oval opening, 4 1-2
x6 inches, and around it one-halt inch
from It, and three-fourths of an Inch
apart, punch a row of boles large
enough to admit the asbestos cord.
Next lace the cord through a hole
over the edgu c ' the zinc and through
, the next, and so on all . the way
around. This brings the cord against
the pipe, making it noiseless, and be
ing pf asbestos, it will not burn. Now
