'THE HERMIT OP lOWA."
A Genial Artist and a Literary Recipe.
Sr. Louis, December, 1187 i):
The city of Rock Island, Illinois, 'is situ-
ated on the east bank of the )lississippl,
two miles above the mouth of Rock river,
and one launched and eighty-two miles from
Chicago by railroad. It is directly opposite
Davenport, lowa, and connected with it by
ferry and the United States government
bridge, one of the finest of the man, b'eau-
tiful structures that now span the great river..
The island, from which Abe city takes its
name, is a little above the town, and is the
property of the :United States, Government.
It is about three miles .in length by one-half
a mile in width. ear the lower extremity
is located the. rutted States Armory and
Arsenal, with extensive workshops and
magazines. The borders of the island pre
sent in many places a nearly perpendicu
lar front, aZ limestone rock, rising toccasiOn
ally to a bight of Vcitarcy•
which may be found large cavities and fis
sures, often extending to a great depth. It,
was reported a few years since that one of
these caves was explored, and many very in
teresting relics of an ancient civlliZed race
Were discovered. Indian legends jare still
told relating to strange spirits and demons
who, as the red men believed, dwelt in those
mysterious caverns. The moaning and
whispering voices of the waters, and the
hollow echoes which come out of the dark
recesses as the current flows back and forth,
have a weird and melancholy ‘lrouttd, and
might easily excite the superstitious fancy
in their untutored minds that these caves
were the abodes of good or evil spirits who
kept a special surveillance over the affairs of
the tribes, and to whom were accredited the
good or bad fortunes which came upon
them. 1)
A portion of the island is covered with
beautiful groves which afford a delightful
retreat during the, summer months. Its
beauty has been greatly enhanced by the
splendid drives and landscape adornments
which the Government has made upon it,
and which are still to be extended and in
creased. When the additional improve
ments and extensions are completed, the
island will be not only a beautiful national
park, but one of the largest depots o
stores in the United States.
The population of Rock Island ity is
about ten thousand. It has x thriving trade,
consisting largely of heavy traffic in coal,
grain, and lumber. The usual spirit of
Western enterprise is noticeable among its
inbabitants, beside a marked tendency to
metropolitan tastes and habits. Qne of the
finest 'hotels west of Chicago in located here,
the Harper House, built and furnished by
the highly esteemed citizen Ben Harper, as
he is fanuliarly called, from whom it takes
its name.. Mr. Harper bas been a leading
spirit in nearly all the great improvements
of the city, and has done much to promote
its permanent growth and prosperity.
Passing along one of its principal streets,
my attention was arrested by the familiar
look of a little sign which hung at the on
trance of one of the large buildings. Upon
it was inscribed in neat gilt letters the fol
lowing: "Henderson's Studio." It awak
ened pleasant reminiscences of a time that
dated back to my bachelorhood days. Sev
eral years before the same little " shingle"
had marked the entrance to a secluded little
temple in the neighboring town of Gales
burg, where the talented young artist, Mr.
Homer Henderson, was devoting himself to
a, profession in .which—he has since won
worthy distinction, and maile - hia_n l ame al
ready famous in the West. In the quiet-re
tirement of that pleasant • atelier, made so
congenial by the fascinating conversation
and chivalrous entertainment of its propri
etor, and surrounded by the emblems and
industries of high art, I had lounged and
dreamed esthetic dreams Which mutual as
pirations had shaped and begotten. As an
artist's studio generally is to one of artistic
t tastes, it was a place where the spiritual
senses seemed edified, and where we often
soothed the physical and mental by the in
cense of the " weed," •which curled up in
wreathe of fantastic forms that bore away
fancies as fleeting and , ethereal as its own
fading fragrance.
That was six years ago. Soon afterward
Mr. Henderson, feeling himself somewhat
isolated from the broader avenues and lu
crative sources of his profession, removed
to Chicago and opened a studio in the Cros
by Opera House building. Here his abili
ties found fuller scope, and his genius more
expansive growth. From this time he di
rected his efforts almost entirely to portrait
' painting,; and very soon began to attract the
attention of connoisseurs. At the Art Ex
hibition held in Chicago two years ago he
resolved to throw
_himself into the relentless
jaws of public criticism, and with many
torebsdings hung his Am 00349 Wezt the

walls, It proved to be the masterpiece of
*the exhibition, and received very flattering
,praise from some, of the, leading journals
att highdat art critics both East and West.
HisVputation was now established, and the
:WO) promised the =fullest fruition of his ,
hopes. During the summer following (1871)
be-was commissioned by the Chicago Histo
rical Society to paint the portrait of Presi
dent Grant, and be proceeded to Long
Branch for that purpose, where the Presi
dent gave him sittings at hia cottage resi
dence.- During Mr. Henderson's sojourn
there and at New York he became intimate
ly acquainted with Mr, William Page, Pres
ident of the National Academy of Design.
The life-long devotion of this veteran artist,
whose tine intellect and extensive researches
into the realm of art have brought-forth so
much of its beauty and poetry, was aeubject
of attractive interest to the younger artist,
who derived much pleasure and profit from
his association with so distinguished a rep
resentative of his profession. Just before
Mr. Henderson returned to Chicago the
great . fire occurred, and his studio, which
contained several of his tine pictures with
all his treasured collections up to that time,
implements, etc., Was destroyed. /u the
mint disruption of trueness which fol•
lowed this event he decided to open a stn.
diOenaporarily in Rock Island, where he
has since been assiduously engaged in filling
commissions which oome largely from peo•
ple of wealth and eminence with faistidlous
alld cUltivated tastes.
On_entering hie studio again after the
apse of several years, marks of the (mom-
pllshed artist were plainly visible. The bits
of studies, the scrape and .. relica which are
always hoarded by devotees of art, were-not
as profusely scattered about as before, but
gleams of the ,gen . lus of 1 own master
hand shone out from the canvas and paper
where his brush and pencil had been at
work. Conspicuous among the pictures
that hung upon the walls was a lite•size por-
trait of Gen. Grant, painted from life while
at Long Branch.. To one who has recently
seen the President the resemblance and
apSr
iltcelle of expression in this picture , are most
striking. Standing against one side of the
room is a nearly completed painting cover
ing nearly forty square feet of canvas en-
cased in a massive frame. It represents a
group of three children, painted from life—
a 'boy of about fiVe years with 'two
older sisters beneath the branches of a large
oak. They have been gathering flowers
which they are trimming into a garland for
decorating themselves. The sweetness and
delicacy of coloring, the artistic and spirited
taste displayed in the grouping, and the
grace and freshness in the whole work. com-
bine to leave a pleasing impression of the
artist's skill, and to present a charming pic
ture of the artless innocanoe of childhood.
But a sitter has come for the Brat sketch
of a portrait'. A movable pedestal or plat
form about two feet lu hight •is rolled into
the middle of the room, over Which is spread
a leoptird-iiiin robe for ornamentation, and
a chair placed upon it for the sitter. : He is
then r)wvg, the lights aro atliusted, the artist
takes his seat at the easel a4ew feet away,

is already visible. The coloring and finish-

Mr. Henderson usually entertains nts sub
jects during their sittings in the most agree
able manner by his witty and versatile con
versation, and it would be difficult for them
to wear any other than a " cheerful" ex
pression while under his manipulations.
Apropos of this is the stury of a very pi
ons divine who while sitting for his por
trait took occasion to deliver a little sermon
to the painter. The latter began to look se•
rious, and the minister, thinking he had
made the desired impression, became , fervid
in his eloquence, finished with a fiery ex
hortation, and paused eager for the response.
`Just turn your head a little to the right,
sir, and shut your mouth," replied the art
ist, who, needless to say, continued his work
without further interruption.
During my stay there . Mr. Henderson in
vited me to accompany him on a visit across
the river and make the acquaintance of one
of the Most remarkable men and eccentric
geniuses in the 'West, widely known as the
" Hermit of lowa," and promising me an ,
evening's entertainment of rare interest.—
We crossed to the lowa side on the ice, on
foot, a distance of nearly a mile at thin
point, and passed up into the handsome M
ae city of Davenport. The town lies upbn
a slope extending half a mile or more from
the river, when the ground rises abruptly
into high bluffs. Many of the finer resi
dences of the city are perched upon the
sides and summits of these steep elevations,
cornmanding,fine views of the river course
and the far-extending prairies beyond: • Our
destination was near the top of these bluffs,
and the way was circuitous and toilsome.—
Reaching the top of a high mound Nye paused
to survey the scene. And, behold! a moon
lit landscape of indescribable loveliness!—
The night was cloudless, and the sky clear
and sparkling. The full moon, now high
above the horizon, shed a soft radiance over
the frozen earth, the tomb of the dead wa
rner, which lay like A. reclining statue upon
its marble counterpart—cold, but beautiful
in the softened light of the moonbeanta.=--
The great river, with the light reflecting
from its icy surface, glistened and shone
like a wide, crooked belt of silver reaching
down into the dim distance, till its brilliance
faded and vanished into star-light. The
scene was indeed one of rare beauty, and
for the moment I forgave old Winter for the
tierce nips I had already received from his
icy fingers. All resentful feelings toward
hlra were borne away in the rapture of view.,
bag such a charming picture fresh from his
studio and bearing the pimple of his skilled
assistant, Jack Frost.
But the " Hermitage" we seek is close at
hand, and we will turn thitherward. It is
a sla but neat little cottage burrowed in
one of the deprOlions among the bills,
soniswhat isolated frOrn surrounding dwell
ings by the intervening bluffs, and sheltered
from the elements as well as from intrusions
and confusions incident to dwellers along
the busy streets of a city. In the summer
season it would be nearly concealed from
view by the shrubbery which surrounds it,
making it one of those spots of quiet seclu
sion where a meditative mind would love
to retire for study and thought.
We foiind the " Hermit" at home, and
*ere welcomed in a manner that checked
all reserve, and made us feel en rapport at
once with his own vigorous sociability. He
is a man of perhaps fifty years of age, but
his pet son is robust and vigorous. His face,
arched with a high, broad forehead, and
adorned with a full gray beard, is attractive
and commanding in its expression, and
shows the intellectual forces and latent pow
ers within. His greatest passion, perhaps,
is for old books and literature, not because
they are curiosities simply, but more on ac
count of the - gems of thought and know
ledge contained in them, and for the reve
rence he feels for the old poets and writers.
There is no - department of literature with
which be is wit eitirely (mamma Be Is
rather after the order of Jerrolds's " Hermit
of Bellyful." His antique cell is lined with
books frOm floor to ceiling, many old and
extremely rare, especially rich in drama,

nearly all the old books printed in 11100 Or

tionary Lanterns Iragrque, published in Pa
ris during the. Beige of Terror; Paine's
works printed in England with the blanks
filled in with autograph passages reflecting
upon the King; the large quarto of Zit.-
phile et Acajou with Bouchier's etchings,
described in Disraeli's Curiosities of Litera
ture, and sets of rare pamphlets, dramas,
journals, etc., etc., in excellent preservation.
The limits of an evening suffice for ex
amining but a small part of his rich and in
teresting collection, and I have named only
those that occur to me from aleatory. Many
of those venerable tomes I handled with an
instinctive reverence. What interesting
auto-biographies some of them could relate,
could they but speak With articulate tongues!
The interest in them was greatly enhanced
by the graphic history their owner gave of
them, their authors, origin, and contents.—
His conversational powers' give great zest
and enjoyment, to the discussion iof every
theme that arises; and while highly, gratified,
as I left the Hermitage, by the agreeable en
tertainment of the evening, I regretted that
it was a literary feast so seldom offered that
creates an appetite for intellectual food
with but few such sources to gratify it.
The "Hermit of lowa," Frank I. Jervis,
is an Englishman by birth, has been editor
of -the Denworaf, published in Davenport, for
four years; Is the author of "Vesta," Fanny
B. Price's $5OO prize drama; also of `lCro
hoose of the Billhook," one of,i the! last
pieces played by' the late John Brew. 1 He
is conversant with nearly a wore of 'envie:
ges, has written many poems, and is ptoba
bly better acquainted with old English dra
ma, poetry, and satire than any man in the
West, and perhaps in America. -
The variety and versatility of this man's
gifts are a matter of astonishment. Scarcely
a couplet can be quoted but he will "see
them anii cover" with another.
The Wm—its History and Culture.
The history of the rose is connected with
remote antiquity. In the classic ages it was
a highly prized flower, and its Greek and
Latin names signify fullness and roundness.
In those days, however, there were but four
species known—the Centifolia, Pimpernel,
Heptree, and Hedge rose. The roses of
Pmatum were particularly beautiful, while
those of Malta were the most fragrant, and
those of Cyrene yielded the 'Most otter of
rose. At the festivals of the ancients roses
were ,wound around the arolies, turned
about rthe statues, woven into garlands and
suspended from the walls, and the banquet
ing halls were redolent with their perfume.
Everywhere were roses honored—the bride
carried one beneath her purple veil as an
emblem of purity; the host suspended a
rose above his table as au emblem of se
crecy; at the public games senators reeei ved
roses from themdiles, and after the down
fall. of curtturre — mniffiiiirus - adornetrme
shields of his favorite legion with them;
while the soldierti of the eighth legion, who
first attacked Hannibal's camp, carried bo
quets of roses lit the triumphal celebration.
There was a perfect mania among the
Romans with regard to the devotion offered
to this, their favorite flower. They used it
to adorn their festivals and their. funerals;
added it as a flavor to their wine, and a vir
tue to their.medicine. It' perfume was isi•
fused into their clothing, napkins, table
cloths, and bed linen. Honey of roses
brightened their eyes; syrup of - roses pre
vented dyspepsia; spirits of roses whitened
their Skin; vinegar of roses cured the head
ache; conserve of roses staunched the flow
ing of blood. 'After', the fall of the empire
the cultivationt of the rose was neglected in
Europe, excepting in the convent gardens;
but at the East much attention was given to
its culture,iand Arab authors wrote many
folios concerning its merits and treatment.
In Persia it was highly cultivated, and the
poet -of the laud sang its charms. In the
17th century Holland began to tak,e an in
terest in this flower, yet only ten species are
kiown to have been cultivated then, and in
179 forty-four species were described-4-
while at this time there are more than 7,000
varieties known and esteemed.
The Empress Josephine was a passionate
lover of roses, and her interest in the flower
greatly . increased its culture in France. At
Alalinaison she superintended the raising of
the rarest species, and Dupont, her head
gardener, prepared a bed of roses which
formed her name. Rouen, Versailles Ad
Lyons were celebrated for roses, and large
green-houses were constructed for their use.
At Luxembourg, aardy became a most suc
cessful rosarian.
The rose will grow all over the globe; on
the rocky hights of the Alp's we see the rosa
alpina and rose rubrifolia; under the snows
of Lapland flourish the fragrant rosa majo
lie and rose rubella; even on the borders of
the desert of Sahara is found the white moss
rose, and amid the Rocky Mountains of otu:
own land thousands of deliciously sweet
single roses bud and bloom in beauty and
loveliness. Asia possesses a greater number
of species andivarieties than all the rest of
.
..
the globe. Thirty-nine native species grow
within her borders, and fifteen of Them be
long to China alone. .
The effects ;produced upon tlie.:rose by
careful cultivation are known but little. it
is a plant Which requires the richest soil and
close pruning to show itself in perfection. ,
We can hardly, plant it in tuo rich a com
post, and freqUently tea roses arc planted in
.two-year old horse manure with only a little .
mixture of sand, and thus fed they will
grow and bloom luxuriantly. Rosen not
only require a very rich soil when first plant
ed, but they need to have it frequently en
riched, and also require good drainage, and
if the season is dry copious waterings are
also needful. I Soapsuds are: particularly 4
beneficial to reses,'as the, potash they con
nisi is essential to the growth of the plant.
The soil should be frequently stirred about
the roots'to give them au airing..
When the first bloom of the Hybrid Per
petuals is passed they shotild be pruned
closely, removing all the \oldest stems, and
branches, until cutting back for three or four
inches all the new growt,h. Pruning is a
very important part of rove culture, espe
cially with the varieties that are expected to
bloom again the same season. The varie
ties of monthly and p&rpetual roses always
produce their flowers upon young shoots of
the present season's growth, so the more
fresh shoots y u can obtain the more rose
buds will be t to result. After pruning se
verely, sparin t not the branches, it is well
to add a large supply of liqUid manure, and,
if a barnyard is not conveniently at hand,
take one spoonful of guano, to a gallon of
1 .
warm water, et 1 .t stand in the sun all day,
arid apply it to the roots at night, taking
care not to sprinkle the leaves with it.
When ros'es, are set out, pruned, and cul
tivated highlY, we must be (in the lookout
j
for worms and insects of a 1 kinds which
infest the bus les, skeletonize the leaves and
ruin the flow rs. By pickmg off the worms
and bugs one \can keep two or three bushes
in leaf,. but when one has many plants hand
pickling is too laborioui. A `mineral " fer
tilizeo keeps our roses fresh and green, and
if spa/Tided over the leaves \early in May
will destroy every slug; rose bug, and worm!
Air-slaked lime will also prove an antidote.
Both of these remedies muss be applied
while the plants are wet with dew. An
other remedy, which. has been \ Very success
ful, is one pint of salt and onequart of soft
soap dissolved in ten gallons of water, and
syringed or sprinkled over the leaves.—
When the leaves Weenie mildewed they
,
should be sprinkled with soot from stove
pipes or chimneys, and in 24 hours washed
oil with the - watering pot. Still another
antidote is found in , sulphur and
one qua's.t of the latter to e.ne.pound of sul
phur, add two gallops of bet water, and to
ono pint of this liquid add oft gallon of
water, and syringe not only roses, but ver
benas and all' plants that are of with
mildew or rust. V
Ross's - tire very easily grown frn cuttings.
The shoot shOuld not be too young, nor yet
so old as to be woody. Peter Henderson
says: " if a cutting will break readily it Is
in the best Cdndition to g - , rct\.v, but if it bends
I
it will not root as- quibr;) , if at all." It
should be cut off just bet w a jolut; trim
ming off the leaves at the ottom,
and leav
ing not more:than two buds with leaves at!
the top, and if these are large it is better to ,
cut off one;or two of them; for if there are ,
too many leaven they will surely wilt. Clear;
sand LS the best to make all kinds of cut
tinge grow' lint it must he thoroughly soaked
with water' . all the time, for if allowed to
dry the cuttings will die. Bottom heat is
also essential to the successful growth Of all
kinds of cuttings, and if- a hotbed or hot
watertank is not to be had we must itapro
vise one with a,pan of hot water, placing
the pots in it and changing it two or three
times a day.. The great eecrek_of, growing
cuttings is in! the evenness of the tempera
ture,} which should not vary m re than from
135 to 70 degrees; if kilowed t vary from
6J to 60 degrees they will rar iv live. So,
if possible, Cover the cuttings 1, 'ith a glass,
when it is very arm. If a
and rzniove it
large pot le filled only half full of sand and
kept in war water and' co ered with a 1
piece of window glass, ave good tiny
hotbed is procured.
In summer it is well to plant
doors in sand, with a partial sh,
sun, and inclose them in glass
and day. As soon as a few tin
that the rootlets are formed.
must be transplanted into the
for altbougb sand is the best
force the, roots, it will not nour
ficiently to form many leaves.
Everyman, woman, and ,cbi d can,grow
a rose bush, and few can realize how much
pleasure attends its culture untii, they raise
one from a cutting to the perfection of the
flower. Only a few years ago cultivators of
roses were but few -in number, and now
there are f:orists who,own twenty scree of
roses, and sell a million of plants yearly.—
There are a great aumber.of new -roses of
fered for sale, some of Whicliare very.beau
tiful; but only a few of the - surpass our
old fairbrites, and many di er so slightly
from them that they do not a i dd much vari
ety to a collection. The Peerless is a very
beautiful rose of the Hybrid Bourbon spe
cies, and was raised from siedo•by Walter
Donadi, of Long Island; its flowers are
borne in immense clusters, and it blooms
very freely. The Bella is a now white tea
rose of very vigorous habit, and . of,busliy,
compact form.
Among the new -English roses introduced
the past_year are Augusta Neumann, of a
brilliant-scarlet hue, and a larae, full flower;
it is highly recommended. 'The Candid,
very clear flesh white, passing to pure white,
is a charTning, flower. Comesse d'Oxford is
of a lovely - carmi e red, a very rich, bright
color. ferdinan de Lesseps, purple shad
ed with violet, is-a first-class rose, very fine
in color and for ' . Louis Van Houtte is a
splendid rose of scarlet' crimson, and re
ceived a first-clas certificate from the*oyal
Horticultural So .iety. •
Monthly roses make moat beautiful hedges,
and are quite the fashion at present. We
saw a very perfect one 'composed of the
Hybrid Bourbon species at Shaw's gardens
in St.. Louis. After the summer bloom has
passed sway, all the old growth' is cut off or
shortened in; the roots are liberally stimu
lated, so that fresh shoots push forth on ev
ery side; and in September such ,a hedge is
a gorgeous mass of flowers.—S. 0. J. in

The areateat Criminal _Trial on Record:
In the whole history of criminal jurispru
dence there has never, probably, been any
thing equal to the gigantic trial which was
concluded at Moscow, in Russia; on the 21st
of November, and in which were arraigned
500 prisoners, upward of 200 of whom were
convicted, and sentenced to cruel penalties.
Among the accused were persons of every
station in life—old men, youths;' and„wo
men; among the latter some - highly accom
plished and prepossessing in appearance.—
All the prisoners were charged with one of
the gravest offenses in the criminal code of
Russia--that of counterfeiting. That code
says: "The person that counterfeits the
coin or currency of the Imperial Govern
ment shall suffer.death."
Notwithstanding this rigorous provision,
Russia has been flooded for many years past
with well-executed counterfeits of the Gov
ernment Treasury notes. The, prompt exe
cution of several who were caught in 'pass
ing the spurious currency did.not check the
evil', and for the last three years it became
so great that the Minister of Finance was
almost inslespair. Offers of the largest re
wards did not lead to the detection of the
guilty parties. Changes in the appearance
of the Treasury notes did not do much good
either, for so vast is the extent of the Rul-,
Sian Empire'that it takes the Imperial Gov
ernment six months to communicate its de
crees to the remotest parts of the country.
At length, in last July, a curious accident
gave the Government the° long looked-for
clue, which led to the discovery of an asso
ciation of criminals of t , both sexes banded
together for the purpose of 'circulating the
spurious currency,' and which extended
from the bleak and frozen shores of the
White Sea to the Volga and the Black Sea.
In the course of the'two following months
8,000 men and women were arrested, but
after a preliminarf examination, 2;500 of
them \vole discharged, and about 800 N4ere
held for trial. Among the latter were six
Frenchmen of .St. Petersburg, who had
been caught printing the counterfeit notes,

The prisoners were all conveyed to Moscow,
where they were 'confined in the vast vault
underneatt the Kremlin Palace. Criminal
law in Russia is barbarYous at best, end the
male prisoners were herded together like so
many hogs. They received me coarsest, of'
fare, aid straw was their only couch, , The
women were treated but little better.
On the 20th of October the trial Was open
ed in the large hall of the Kremlin, which
holds nearly 6,000 persons. The proceed
ings were protracted for a month and the
prosecution succeeded in establßhing the
guilt of over one-third of the accused. Two
hundred and three of them were found
guilty, ! among them about fifty women.—
Sentence of. death was passed 'upon six
French printers, and the other convicted
parties were condemned to hard labor in the
gold mines of the tit'al Mountains for life,
or for ten ;years. The .doomed men and wo
men burst into piercing shrieks, and howls:
and well they might, for in the case of the
former the sentence included barbarous flog
ging and branding on the torehead with a
red-hot iron; while! the women, some of
whom were of refined descent, shuddered at
the idea of having to do the most menial
work' for life or ten years at the stations
where the keepers of the male pfisoners re
side. j In their despair some of the unfortu
nates threw themselves upon the ground,
and their piercingl . cries, mingled with the
clanking of their chains, produced a truly
horrible effect. The excitement and frenzy
of the condemned grew . from minute to
minute more intense, and the judges in or
der to restore quietude had to call in the
soldiers, who with their kantschubs beat the
prisoners right and left, and -then dragged
them back to the vaults of the Kremlin.
The reason that we see so many prema
turely old American women is berre, as
a general rule, they are overworkec They
toil on, week after week, month after
month, sacrificing all the comfort and beauty
of their lives, and finally, when their health
breaks down under the constant strain.

Imagine that-a wife should say to her hus

Warm Feet
A correspondent oft the Amaricem Agrietti
turisi furnishes that_ paper with the follow
ing remarks on warm feet, which' remarks
are admirably calculated for our latitude: •
To'go with cold feet is to undermine tha
constitution, and this half the women sad
girls are doing. They have,; the habit of
cold feet, and the accompanying habit of D 1
health; 'think homely woolen stookings,are
not very fashionable. Once no country
girl wasJeckoned

she bad knit her pillow-case lull of stock
ings,'but it is not so now. Ido not regret
that less baud-knitting is done than former
ly, tint I hope wesbeal not' give up Walla
woolen stockings or winter use until we
can ' replace them with something better.
Merino or the commpn "houghten" white
woolen stockidgs are rather thin, but some
of us supplement them with an additional
pair of cotton stockings, wearing the cotton
or the woolen pair next the feet as individ
uals 'prefer. Cold feet'are often caused, at
least' in part, by two tight elastic 'bands et
the tops of the stockings, or by tight shoes,
or shoes tight in the ankles.' These interfere
t
with; the circulation of the blood, and there
;cannot be a comfortable degree of warmth
without a good circulation and aeration of
the blood. My last lesson in this ; matter
came from a baby's experience last Septem
ber. Suddenly she cdr.tracted .a habit of
having cold feet, and when I warmed them•
the skin seemed bard and inactive,
suggesting theneed of a bath when a bath
did not seem necessary except for the feet.
At length it occurred to me that her "ankle-,
