Heavy Shoes for the’ Ladles.
Winter is coming, and we desire to say
word or two to our lady readers about
■clothing the feet.
When; the celebrated physician
-Abernethy died, report' said, that beside
-a will ofßome. interest to his heira, in a
peculiary point of vie w, there was found
emong his effects a sealed envelope, said
to contain the secret of his great success
m the healing art, and also a rule of
living,the following of which will insure
longevity. ■
-A. large price was paid for the sealed
envelope. , It was found to contain only
these- < words: “To insure * continued
health and a ripe old age, keep, the head
cool, the system open, and the feet
warm.” ; :'V
Dry feet are warm feet, generally, if
■the eystem is healthy. To keep the sys
tem healthy,, the circulation must be
good; The circulation is not good with
out exercise, and exercise can, only be
really , valuable when gotten up by walk
ing. -.Riding in a carriage is not exercise
at all; it is merely inhaling the air. This
is very well ~as~ far" as itgoes, but the
lungs are not in full play , without the
individual is walking. Horseback exer
cise is very good, and is an improvement
on carriage riding, but it is not the kind
cf health-creating play of the -muscles
mature demands. It is action—action of
the entire body—and walking 'only will
will procure it. Now, the ladies of Eu
rope, particularly those of England, un
derstand this thing. They walk miles
Ser day, and if any of our pale beauties
esire to know how the English keep up
their 'fine color, clear complexion and
superb busts, we tell them that it i 3 out
door exercise, walking , in the open air,
filling the lungs with pure oxygen by
the sun shines brigMly°amiuSe
clear blue sky is above. This is the se
cret of the rich blood of the English
women, and their almost universally
fine looks and matronly beauty at fifty,
Tvhen at that age our American woman
-are pale, sallow and wrinkled.
To enjoy a walk thick soles are heeded.
«tout, well fitting, calf skin high gaiters,
neatly laced, will always “set ofl” a
pretty foot, and improve a hotnely one.
To guard that sensitive portion of the
human frame (for the sole of the foot is
keenly sensitive to the changes from
heat to cold or dryness todampnessl.the
boot sole should be thick, and as well
made as human ingenuity can doit.
Then even in moist weather, or in a
rain storm, the foot Can be protected;
that insured, all is well with the lady.
Ladies, walk more; take long walks;
■get tired—no matter how tired—tired
muscles, in any well woman eighteen to
forty-eight only proven that they need
to be used; flabby muscles prove that
action is wanted, and such muscles also
prove that the system lacks tone. They
■are like-a violin, with the keys loose; the
strings are without vibration and the
instrument is dead. Buy the best of
calf half bqots, ladies: exercise in them
till you are well enough to go out, well
clad, in all weather. Wear no rubbers,
if you can avoid'it. They are bad for the
feet.. If you need to paddle in
the slush and soft snowof spring, put on
rubbers, for the feet must be kept warm
-and dry, but use them as little as possi
ble. Wear, when out of doors, soiled
shoes; take all the open air exercise you
can by walking, and you will be,in your
old age, as fine iooking as you are now;
and, moreover, the next generation will
be as proud of you as the young
fry of old England of their stately
mothers. We have seen in Hyde Park,
jLon.'on, on a fair day, hundreds of
graV llmcthers, fresh and nearly hand
some; and scores of mothers with mar
riageable daughters, which, had we been
in the marrying line, we should hardly
haye known which to have popped the
question to, so dazzling was the real
beauty and youth of both. Odr American
ladies can possess these charms and carry
them into the age of three score, if they
will walk more in the open air, and in
hale daily the healthgiving properties
which can be obtained in wearing out a I
couple of pairs of tip top ten dollar gait- i
ere per year. We hold that one ten
dollar pair of walking shoes will save
twenty doctors’ visits atfive dollars each.
Take your choice, ladies. ,
Xost Arte.
In regard to colors we are far behind
"the ancients. None of the colors in the
Egyptian paintings of thousands of
. years ago are in the least faded; except
the,-green* The Tyrian purple of the
entombed city of Pompeii is as fresh to
day as it was two thousand years ago.
Same of the stueco, painted ages before
the Christian era, broken up.and mixed,
reverted to its original lustre.. And yet
we pity the ignorance of the dark
skinned children of the aneient Egypt.
The colors upon the walls of Nero's
festal vaults are as fresh as if painted
yesterday. So is the cheek of the Egyp
tian prince who was contemporaneous
with Solomon, and Cleopatra, at whose
feet, Caesar laid the riches of his empire.
And in regard to metals. The edges of
the statues of the obelisks of Egypt, and
of the ancient walls of Borne, are as
sharp as if but hewn yesterday. And
the stones still remain so closely fitted
• that their seams, laid with mortar, can
not be penetrated with the edge of a
penknife. And their surface is exeed
ingly hard, so hard that when the
Erench artists engraved two lines upon
the obelisk brought from Egypt, they
- destroyed, in the tedious task, many of
the best tools which can be manufac
tured. And yet these monuments are
traced all over with the inscriptions
; placed upon them in olden time. This,
with other facts of a striking character,
prove that they were far more skilled in
metals than we are. Quite recently it is
recorded that when an American vessel,
was on the shores of Africa, a son of that
benighted region made from an iron
hoop a knife superior to any on board of
the vessel, and another made a sword of
Damascus excellence from a piece of
iron. .
Fiction is very old; Scott had his
counterpart two thousand years.ago. A
story is told of a warrior who had not
time to wait for. the proper forging of his
weapon, but seized it red -hot, rode for
ward, but found to his Surprise that the
cool air had tempered his iron into an*
excellent steel weapon. The tempering
of steel, therefore, which was hew to us
a century since, was old 1 two thousand
years ago. - :
Ventilatiffh is deemed a very modern
art., But this is not the fact, for aper
tures, unquestionably made for the pur- 1
pose of ventilation, are found in the
pyramid tombs of Egypt. Yes, thou
sands of yeam ago the barbarous Pagans
wentso far to ventilate their tombs,while
■we yet scarcely know how to ventilate
our houses.

The Davenport lowa Disaster—Three Per
. sons Burned to Death.
The following details-of a fire which
occurred in Davenport, lowa, on the
“orning of the s '9th instant, and by.
which three persons lost tbeir lives,.and
a fourth was fatally burned, are gath
ered from thv’GazeUe of that eity. :
, A family named Miller, Consisting of
husband and wife/ five children and the
mother of Mrs. Miller, Mrs.- Julia Ann
Cahill, resided just outside the city
limits, in a small orie-and-a-half story
frame . house.'- Aijout four o’clock, on
the morning above named, the 'family
were aroused from their slumbers by a
discovery of fire in the rloft where Mrs.
Cahill and three of the children were
sleeping. Mr. Miller tried to put
out the fire by buckets of water,
but his efforts were fruitless, anc.
he was compelled to leave the house
in ' his night dress. Mrs. Miller pre
viously escaped with her two youngest
children who slept with her in the
lower part of the house. Going to the
end of the house, where there was- a
window, Miller saw Mrs. Cahill and the
children surrounded by flame. Instantly
the window was dashed out by theoldest
boy, Richard, aged 12 years, who threw
himself out, falling, terribly burned and
bruised, upon the frozen ground. The
morning was intensely cold, and there
was quite a breeze blowing, and 1 in a
few minutes the flames had spread to
every portion of the.building. Mrs.
Miller took up her three children, the
oldest boy, who had thrown himself
out of the window, her little daughter
and the baby, and started with them
to the residence of Mr. McLaughlin,
her sister’s husband, who lived nearly
a quarter of a mile distant and who
were their nearest'neighbors, carrying
her three children -nearly the entire dis
tance. Arousing the family, they ren
dered her all the ‘ assistance and relief
possible. Mr. Miller remained at the
house, endeavoring to rescue the other
children and their: grandmother, but
without avail. The neighbors arrived
only in time to see the floor of the upper
story fall through, carrying with it the
Temains of the three persons who had
fallen helpless near the upper window.
The members of the family who escaped
were badly frostbitten, none of them
having had time to dress. A messenger
was dispatched for a physician, and all
that could be, was done to relieve
the physical suffering of the dis
tressed family.. The eldest boy, Richard,
was found terribly burned, and cannot
survive; he was conscious,but insensible
of pain from the nature of his severe in
juries. He told the doctor that he was
awakened by the stifling smoke, that he
called his grandmotherand the children,
and then jumped out of the window. The
last he saw of them, the grandmother
was getting the children in her arms.
Mrs. Cahill,-who perished-in the, burn-,
ing building, was-70yearsUof age..-'Her .
grandchildren, .James, aged 8, and Ed
ward, aged 6 years, also shared the same
fate. Besides the loss of life and the
grief consequent thereupon, the family
have lost all their worldly goods, not
even having saved clothing enough to
cover them. The neighbors, however,
were kindly caring for them.
