Who would Boppoae that the common common use of shoes and all kinds of foot coverings was of a much later date that the carrying of scent bottles ? No I one, I am sore ; and yet the people of certain European countries, long after tbey bad learned to clothe their bodies in an elaborate and costly fashion, were in the habitof going bare-footed. This was the custom even so late as the six teenth centurr, and in the foarteentb warriors equipped in full armor rode about without without any covering on either feet or legs below the knees. This would seem still more strange than it does diii one not recollect that even in this enlightened day the Scots, who would scorn any suggestion of barbar ism, still cling to' their natioual dress, which leaves knees wholly uncovered. despite the cold climate. The earliest records bear witness, however, that Moses and Aaron were commanded to take the shoes from off their feet be fore entering the temple, and in Egypt at that time the rich and great wore sandals encrusted with precious stones, of which the soles were made of gold. On the bottom were engraved the names of such people as bad been conquered by the owners, if tbey happened to be of the conquering sex. Sandals with points elongated and turned up were the exclusive property of royality. Some of the early Asiatic nations covered their feet with the skins of ani mals in a fashion closely resembling that of to day. Pliny describes the house sandals of the Greek and Roman women as woven of threads of precious metal, thickly strung with pearls. But those worn out of doors were iu variably made of undressed leather, slit in places, through which a piece ot leather passed and fastened the sandal to the foot. These were introduced into England, where as early as the ninth century, well-shaped, tight'Ctting black leather shoes were made. Since then, of coarse, the fashion and style of boots and shots has changed, as is true of every other article of apparel, bnt the general use of b'ack leather has prevailed over every other thing. Hints on Handling Iees. Just before swarming bees fill them selves with honey, which supports them in their new home until they get work again. This is an exceedingly fortu nate thing for the beekeeper, as it makes them much more kindly and easily handled than they would other-J wise be. With bees, as with men, tbey are best natured when on full stomtchs. In the coldr portions of the country protecting the hires is neces sary, either by placing them in cellars or packing In chaff ; in milder sections and in the south tbey will pass the wfn ter well on summer stands. In band ling bees fearlessness is a wonderful protection. A person who fights them or tries to drive them is quite sure to be stnng. Still, it must be admitted that there is something about persons that gives to a few immunity from bee sting that others cannot obtain. The safest, way for the average Lee keeper is to protect one's self as well as possible by the dress. Use a smoker, and proceed as you would about any other work, taking care not to crush or injure a bee. Occasionally a cokny will attack a horse that Las beeu driven or led too near tbrir stand. When this occurs they often exnibit a vicdictive ness and perseverance that is not only wonderful , but dangerous. Horses that have been heated by driving and become sweaty aie more obnoxious to them than the same animals would be when in their normal condition, grariDg near tbe hive. There are so many things to be learned about bees that persons without experience in the business, who design keeping them, snould buy one of tbe many books on the subject or subscribe for a good paper devoted to beekeeping. Canton Silks. Tbe silks of Canton come entirely from the silk worms of the mulberry (Bomboz moil). Tbe species ta-t'aan and Iunyue are raised principally tn thli province. The Grst corresponds to the variety known as aunual ; the second to tbe poljvolnines species. The ta-t'san or large worms, give a silk of beautiful texture and of great brilliancy. Tbe lun-yue, from which seven consecutive harvests are made, does not produce a cocoon so fully supplied or silk so lus trous. The eggs are batched in the be ginning of February. The cocoons pro duced at this period are saved for pro duction, and the Grst harvest does not begin till the second batching. After the fourth moulting the silk worm, having become clear and transparent, is placed nnder frames with cells of bam boo to fill a cocoon. Tbe greatest care is taken by silk growers in educating the silk-worm. Tbey are occupied almost the whole year. Tbe mulberry tree is also cultivated with great care. The trees are planted on plains in parallel rows at a distance of four or five feet of cn another. They are generally young trees, trimmed each year, and renewed every five yeari. It takes at least twenty plcals of leaves to nourish an ounce and a half of silk worms from tbe day of batching to tbe day or placing io the fiarues for tbe cocoons. It is es timated that 100 pounds of good cocoons give twenty pounds of silk. Wear and Tear of a Kali road er. Railroad men improve io health dur ing tbe first four years, but at tbe end or ten years they are tired out, iu 15 tbey are actual sufferers, and very few can remain in the service after 20. Dr. Llchtedberg, of Bud Teatb, says that out of 250 railway employes 02, cr more than a third, suffered from ear disease. Engine drivers are especially liable to rheumatism and pceumonia, and after some years' service, a certain propor tion of them become dull ot sight and tearing. Others suffer from a mild form ot spinal concussion, muscu'ar feebleness and continuous pains in the limbs. They are also apt to develop a peculiar mental state a scrt of cere bral irritation with excessive ner Tousness and morbid sensations of fear. IIayf. noithe cloak to make when it begins to rain.

Although the year 1900 will be divisi ble by four without a remainder, in will not be leap year. Over ten years must elapse before tbe interesting event takes place, but it was just the same in 1S00. but not in 1000, for that was a leap year and the year 2000 will be a leap year also. "Why this should be is a problem. To explain in detail would be a tiresome task, but it rests on the principle that a diffeience of eleven minutes per day exists between actual time and calendar time. Thus a year is computed at 3G5 days, three years being 3C5 days long and the fourth year 3G6 days. In fact the year is 305 days 5 hours and 45 minutes loner, or eleven minuets short of 365 days. The leap year every four years is said to be the invention of Julius Casar. To allow for this difference of eleven minutes per day, one leap year was dropped every hundred years. But this was found not to be exact, and Tope Gregory XIII. in 1582, made an improvement and drtcreed that every fourth centurial year should be a leap year. Thus, by omitting the leap ear for three centurial years and letting it remain a usual on tbe fourth centural year, a system is obtained so close that it would take thousands of years to make up another day's differ ence in time.

He took out five cents for bis fare, instead of his dollar ticket, and sat looking out of the window, absorbed in thought, when the conductor came along, calU ing, Tickets, please I" Without turning bis head, the pas senger proffered his five cent piece. "Ticket, sir 1" said the conductor, sharply. The passenger gazed at him blankly for au instant, then, recognizing bis blunder, be muttered, "Ah, absent minded again I"' and politely began fumbling bis hat band for the receipt check which the conductor held ready to give him in return for the ticket, still untouched in bis pocket. But this man was not nearly so ab sent minded as the Bostonian who met his own son down town, took off his hat in response to the young man's greett ing, passed on in abstraction, au3 said a: his dinner table that night : "A young fellow down on Milk street laughed at me to-day when I answered his bow, and for tbe life of me I can't think who it could have been, though his face did seem familiar." Tanning by Electricity. This talk about tanning leather in a few hours by electricity is all rubbish. You might as well try to fatten pigs by electricity. But leather can be tanned in a very short time, although a perfect article cannot be produced in less than five or six months. Some time ago a Buffalo (X. Y.) man asked me how Ions It would take me to tan a goat skin and make a pair of boots. I told him it could be aor.e in twelve hours, lie bet me $100 it couldn't be done. That night I went to a butcher and bought a goat. At six tbe next morn the goat was skinned, twenty minutes later I bad the hair off the bide, color ed and in the . liquor. B noon it was dried, dreBsed, aud dried again and glazed and ready for the bootmaker, who finished the boots by five o'clock in the evening. It cctt tbe Buffalo man neatly S200 after the wine aDd extras were paid for. It was leather, but it wouldn't do to risk a reputation on ita wearing qualities. ryIepal and I.l v er Complaint. !

There ia not one house in ten that an attic, and more than ODe-half 0 , houses that have one, there ia ,10 to Ret into it. They are aitra,!'7 source of anxiety to the good ho wife, for she never knows wbenT house may catch fire in that very p4 and no way to get to the fire to out. Even when she steps outfor'i: few minutes' chat wiih Ler iJtxl neighbor, the attic is seldom out , ' ir mind. 1 t!r She tells the children to be sure to make a fire, in case the chim' should catch fire and she gen'er turns a pail of water Into the Htove'T foregolrg away. There bhould C way to pet into tbe attic.no Katt how small the a'.tic is. It wou d m"J very expensive to have a di,r and hunp ; or a trap door wuu'd u better than none. The housewife couM then inspect it once a month. Hrusn down all the dust and r- webs there is nothing that catchy fr so easy as coo w ebs and tb-v smoulder ever so long, and see tLa there is no defect in the chimney. Or.ce or twice a year it l-nuirj be rubbed with a damp cloth. Take old broom and tie a bloth over ita.J wash the walls, but do not r.aVe broom too wet ; it will clean it B0 j will not emeil musty, as attics general ly do. The chambers are tbus made beahhier and more pleasant to sleep ia a smile of contentment on her face jn" stead of the weary look of anxiety ti nt was there before the door totbea't ,. was made. Some women will, wbf-n tl.ey i aTa large attic, have it full of tr.ir.ea, suct as the epinnicgwbeel, and swif-eaci a box of patch-work. Now il.i thu : not be dore. Have nothing !n the attic that can l-e avoided. I will new tell you an excellent rem edy for bugs, and that common sa;t put anywhere so they can eat it. Iron as Fish Food. An extraordinary "find in a fh" was made in the Market Hall by a fish, dealer named George Smith, who own; a stall there. Amone the mar-yen-signments of Cdh which he rfceived was a number of large cr.nger eels from Skibcreen, County Cork, Ire'auJ. The conger is known to te a veiy vi cious fish but one could fcarcely t. lieve that he would swa'lowtwo icur.la nina oui;ces of iron Yet such whs te morsel found in the stomach of nr of the eels. Mr. Smith whs cult!!:? up the flh when his knife enc un'ert-i something hard, nd on ope-iin? th stomach he found a larpe irou bolt, which had evldeutly btt n pi: of a ship's tackle. The bolt is about a foot long, and the end is a Iargn ring, two incli-s arid a half or three inches in dinme'er. The bolt itself is as thick as an cid:L--ary Malacca enne. The eel weighed about two "' ii-e v.i was a yard and ha'.f long. His sa l lowing capacity nw br jjdtd frira the fact that a good s:zi uick-Til vb also fonnu in the sfumach. Tin.- !t ? eaten away by rust, and is of a de. cidedlyout of date, su that i; had probably lain ou the bottom oi thesei a long time before it was swa" iwed by the eel. The Iatter's stom.icfi :d back were considerably inil imed, and there is Htle reason to douti! tbat it would soon have died from iu j'ces ion. A curious feature of the case is a: the fish was blind io one eye. Iuspjc tor Lstbarn told our representative that many curious things were oftentimes found in the s'omach of Csh sent ta trie Market Hall, and instanced his re marks by stating that a short time bk the arm of a child was discovered in side a larga codflsh. There may, after all, be truth m tbe o;d stories of miss ing rings and jewels being restored ta the light through this agpney. Wearing Flannel.
