Tai Ann, Dowager Empress of China,
has decreed that there shall be no more
footbinding among Chinese women, she
decrees that Chinese officials who con
tinue that practice in their families
stall leave office. This is putting the

ious fashions with a vengeance. More
over, it inspires a novel respect for Chi
nese directness. If our Caucasian gov
ernments should try to abolish corsets
or high-heeled shoes they would only
the meed of feminine laughter.
But the aged Empress strikes at the
root of the evil by cutting off the source
of supply, and the reform is far on the

Letter to Jolm N Muntz,
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: If you could get the exclu
sive sale of a coal that would give
double heat and cost no more, you'd
jump at it, wouldn't you?
You'd control the trade for a hundred
miles!
Devoe is like that among paints; a
short ton is as good as a long one of any
paint you oan name; a gallon is worth
more than two of many a popular paint.
Suppose yon have painted your house
about once in three years ever since it
was new: you buy the same number of
gallons Deyoe, have a third of it left,
and it wears six years. Count your costs.
11.75 a gallon for paint; £3.50 a gallon
for putting it on; you saved 5 gallons:
$36.25 on this job. But you save the
whole job of three year's hence: about
$75. Put 'em together: SIOO.
Can't reckon so accurately as that;
but you see how it goes. Paint ian ; t
alike any more than oca 1 , Haw m,uch
more is <"oa! wo A th than t slate I

Fires.
While Joseph B. Mechlin* was in
town last Monday afternoon, his honse
on the hill south of town, took fire from
a stove in the summer kitchen, where
Mrs. Mechling and her daughter had
been putting up fruit. The fire spread
rapidly and by the time Mr. Mechling
reached his place, the whole house was
enveloped in flames.
Nothing was saved excepting the
piano and a few articles of furniture
'•Breeze Place" was one of the cosiest
homes about Butler and the many
friends of the family greatly sympathize
with them in their misfortune The
house was insured in the M. & M. for
$2,000 and will probably be rebuilt im
mediately.
It was outside the fire limits of the
town and yet three of the local com
panies got their hose carts up Fairview
avenue.
CIIURCII NOTES.
The Plains Presbyterian church in
Cranberry twp., or '"Old Plains" as it
was called was organized in 1806 by
Rev. Reid Bracken, and celebrated its
centennial this week-beginning on
Sunday. The original members were
the Coverts. Grahams. Crawfords. Mc-
Clellands. Critchlows, Emmetts. Row
ans, Boggs. Garvins and others. The
congregation originally worshipped in a
tent, then in a log building, and then in
a brick, which was torn down and re
placed by the present brick in 1879.
Rev. Samuel H. Moore, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian chur -h of New
Castle, has notified his congregation of
his desire to accept a call to the Presby
terian church or Monttvieta, Colo. He
will preach his last sermon in New Cas
tle, Sunday, Oct. 14, and will soon after
go west.
