The most scrupulous cleanliness Is
needed for the health and beauty of
the feet, and so a dally bath and a
comfortable supply of stockings are
required. The best results are ob
tained by putting on a fresh pair of
stockings every day, and in case of
profuse perspiration they should be
changed at least twice a day. If the
stockings are washed out immediate
ly upon being taken off, six pairs
■would make an adequate summer sup
ply. Silk is undoubtetdly the best
stocking material for hot weather, this
being cooler to the feet than cotton
and permitting the shoes to slip on
more easily. Gauze cotton is the next
best thing in point of softness to the
foot, and three pairs of quite fine stock
ings in this material can be had for
one dollar. Lisle, even in the finest
qualities, is to a certain degree rasp
ing to the foot, causing often, besides,
a most disagreeable burning.
Women in the smart set goto the
pedicure for the removal of corns and
callouses, but these afflictions can be
treated at home and there are special
baths for softening the horny places
and for resting all the feet. One is
made with ordinary washing soda —
about a half cupful to a gallon of wa
ter—this being for softening the cal
louses preparatory to their removal
with a knife or file or pumicestone,
for all of these tools are used. A bath
with a pound of sea salt will harden
and strengthen the feet. Camphor is
useful for massaging, thus reducing
swelling, while massaging the feet
and ankles every night with olive oil,
will, as the beauty saying is, keep
them young. All care lavished upon
the feet tends to keep them in good
condition, even If the work consists
only of a dainty polishing of the toe
nails. When these are neglected they
harden and coarsen, sometimes chang
ing their nature and shape entirely.
Before ministering to tormenting
corns, bunions and callouses the feet
must always be soaked in a softening
bath, after which they should be
scrupulously dried at every point—
particularly between the toes —and
then powdered. A good and cooling
foot powder, by the way, is one of the
greatest comforts one can have In
summer, and there is scarcely a drug
store that does not keep several
brands of it. A foot powder which
can also be used to advantage on per
spiring hands, and which is very con
venient for gloves, is made after this
formula:
I'hi-nlo acid....' 10 grams
Alcohol 2D grams
Htarch 2rto grams
Florentine orris ISO grama
Essence of violet 2 grams
Dissolve the acid in alcohol; add
the violet essence, then the starch and
orris root.
A special powder for perspiring feet
is made of one ounce of alum, two
ounces of powdered orris root and five
ounces of rice powder. Where the
perspiration has an unpleasant odor,
however, a powder with lycopodium is
better than any other, and such sorts
are kept at all drug stores of any size,
this condition being recognized as
something of a disease.
After the bath, attend to the corns
or callouses at once, trimming the
nails only as often as is needed. They
should be cut square across and left
a little longer than the flesh. If there
are soft corns, several foot baths a
<lay are needed, also larger shoes, and
in extreme cases it may be necessary
to place bits of absorbent cotton wet
with some healing lotion or salve be
tween the toes. For relief from blis
ters the excessive pain of corns and
other callosities, this simple pomade
Is highly recommended:
Melted mutton tnllow ounces
Mug-wort, freshly gathered and
bruised 3 drams
Mix thoroughly and rub the whole
foot with it, massaging it well into
the skin.
A good bunion lotion Is made of two
drams each of carbolic acid, glycerin
and tincture of iodine.
Flatfoot is a condition much recog
nized just now, and in severe cases
It is as deforming as lemeness. It is
not always recognizable at first, only
the pain and difficulty in walking be
ing perceptible; but after a while the
arch of the foot breaks down and then
the beauty of It is gone. So when
feeling .'i definite pain in the instep
it is wise to wear strong-soled shoes
with a stiff spring in the instep, as
these will counteract the weak ten
dency of the arch. Inner soles with
high arches are also sold for the pur
pose, while doctors recommended foot
exercises for strengthening the mus
cles of the arch and its supports.
But, togo back to the mere com
fort of summer time, the simple things
one may do to have more ease with
feet whose only failing, maybe, comes
with hot weather, extreme cleanliness
and proper dressing are the things of
vital Importance. All exercise upon
the feet, too, will Improve their con
dition and beauty, while the mere heat
of tlie hands, while massaging with
some unguent or other, will be an im
mediate relief to strained and tired
muscles.

Queries From "a Young Wife."
I am very Interested In your page
and will be thankful to you for an
swering my questions.
I am going to give a linen shower
for a girl friend of mine and would
like to get a few suggestions on house
decoration.
I have a reception hall, living room,
dining room and music room. How
should I decorate each room, and
which will be the best for the bride
to bo in when she is receiving her
gifts? As I expect to have from forty
to fifty guests, I can not seat them
at the table. Should cards of any
kind bo used when passing the refresh
ments?
What would be a pretty way in
bringing the gifts to the bride? I have
a little girl two years of age, with long
golden curls, whom I thought could
help in this, or is she too small? If
not, how should I have her dressed?
Please excuse my many questions,
but I have another one which has puz
zled me.
When you have been Introduced to a
friend and when you or they are ready
to part and they say, "I am glad I
met you," what Is the correct answer
to give them? I hope you will have
my answers In the paper soon.
A Young Wife.
You need no decoration save the
flowers in season, and If you have
potted plants place them where they
show the best. Arrange the flowers
simply, in vases, bowls and baskets;
place them on the mantels, in front of
fireplaces, on the piano and on the
porches. I should say that the living
room would be the best place for the
bride and the guests, as it is doubt
less the largest. You do not need
place cards unless you seat the guests
at small tables and serve all at once.
I am afraid the little two-year-old will
be too young to assist. When you
wish to reply to the remark men
tioned, Just say, "I am sure the pleas
ure is mutual; I'm glad I met you,
too." There are no set phrases for
certain occasions; just be your own
natural self. Perhaps you could place
all the parcels in a flower and rib
boned tie basket and let the wee
daughter drag it in by white ribbons to
the bride-elect.
From an Old Subscriber.
Having enjoyed reading your depart
ment ever since it began, I now seek
your advice.
About a month or more ago I met a
lady who lives not far from us. Later,
mother met her. The lady has liv£d
in the neighborhood several years long
er than we, but hasn't called on us
yet. She has a daughter whom I have
never met and who has been away to
school and recently returned.
As I would like to meet the daugh
ter, should I call on her first or wait
for her to call on me in a case like
this?
Is a girl of eighteen too young to
have visiting cards, and if she is the
only daughter how should they be en
graved. A Subscriber.
If you have been reading our de
partment all these years you certainly
deserve to have all your questions an
swered and I invite you to come as
often as you choose.
Seems to me I would run Into see
the daughter informally, If you are
neighbors; it does not pay to stand too
much on ceremony. A girl of eighteen
Is not too young to have her own cards
and they should be engraved Just
"Miss Smith," no initial and no name.
This shows that she is the only or
eldest daughter.
For a Lawn Party.
Will you suggest something enter
taining for a lawn party for boys and
girls between the ages of twelve and
fifteen? Our club of seven wishes to
entertain as many boys. The decora
tions are pink and green; flower, pink
carnation. We have small funds to
work with, but will be ever so much
obliged for any help. Secretary.
I am sure you can arrange a beauti
ful time. Have the Ice cream In pink
and green, with small cakes frosted
in the same colors. Give each one a
pink carnation to wear. Then have a
match game of croquet, and if you
are very good, won't "mother" see to
having a prize ready for the winners?
Perhaps you have a tennis court; if
so, a game could be arranged. All out
door sports are in favor, including
the good old game of archery.
Boup Cour#e at Dinner.
I have the soup course in a "prog
ressive" dinner party. Kindly tell me
If soup is the only thing included in
this course or if celery, olives or bread
is served with it? A Reader.
Serve wafers or bread sticks or the
little dinner biscuit with the soup, also
olives, radishes and celery if you can
get it small and tender.

SUNMrSOIOOL
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Eve
ning Department, Tlia Moody Bible
Institute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JULY 21
THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM.
LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:26-32, Matt. 13:
S3.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done, as In heaven bo on
earth."—Matt. 6:11X
Last week we observed the fact
that the genesis of this new kingdom
Jesus cam© to establish was to be
ihe life, his life, when was as seed.
The reception of the seed in various
sorts of soil, however, made a vast dif
ference as to the ultimate outcome.
Today we may observe from these
words of the Master what are to be
the processes of the establishing of
the kingdom, for we do not read into
this parable a record of the final con
sumation, but rather that these para
bles reveal different aspects of the
same general process.
While It is true that this first para
ble is only recorded by St. Mark it is
in reality a complement of these para
bles about the kingdom found in the
thirteenth of Matthew and elsewhere.
We have already noted that the seed
is the word, Luke 8-11, and that the
soil is the hearts of men, but here
Jesus tells us that in the spiritual
as in the material universe man
"knoweth not how" the life principle
propogates itself. It is a helpful
thought to every Christian worker
that he is not to be held accountable
for that part of the process; his part
is to be that of the man who shall
cast the seed into the ground. Not
upon, but "into." (v. 26). Having
thus planted the seed let him 'sleep
and rise again" e.g., let him trust a
wise God to see to it that the seed
germinate and bring forth. All of
your worrying and mine cannot hasten
the process nor change the result once
the seed is sown, so let us be care
ful to sow them right and as far as
possible be sure we piant it in proper
ly prepared soil.
Process is Gradual.
Again let us beware of presumptu
ousness "he knoweth not how." Can
you, my reader, define life? Can you
explain the transmission, the develop
ment, the propagation of life? We ac
cept the results of these things in na
ture without questioning, why stagger
at similar things in the spiritual
realm? Why question the reality of
the Christian life when we see all
about us its results? In verses 22 and
23 of this same chapter we are ad
monished that if we have ears "let
him hear" (a positive injunction) and
almost the vei*y next word tells us
to "take heed what we hear." Going
on down to verse 23 of the lesson
we see clearly the reason for these
words, for our lives will grow and will
reproduce each after its own kind. If
we sow wheat we reap wheat. If we
allow tares to be sown in our lives
we shall reap tares.
The process is a gradual one, but a
sure one. ' First the blade, then the
ear, and then the full corn in the
ear." The harvest will not take place
until the process be completed. It is
not till the fruit Is ripe that the hus
bandman puts forth his sickle. We
are not to bother ourselves so much
with the process as we are to guard
the source. Sow good seed and God
will see to it that it shall bring forth.
Let us not expect the "full corn" of
ripe experience from the "tender
blade" of early Christian life. Let ua
have patience till these young Chris
tians have time to reach the full ma
turity of their powers. Jesus the har
vester of this parable knew when to
putin the sickle, viz., when the fruit
is "ripe," (v. 29, R. V.)
The Main Truth.
Looking back over history hi 3 was
Indeed "less than all the seeds in the
earth," yet he set into motion those
principles and powers that have
caused his kingdom to become great
in the earth (Isa. 9:7.) Under the
branches of this kingdom have lodged
the weary and the stricken ones. The
birds of the air symbolize the gather
ing together of the nations of the
earth that they may take refuge un
der the shelter and shadow of the
kingdom of God, see Ezek. 17, Daniel
4, etc. We must beware of fanciful
interpretations or apflications. The
main truth is that almost without ex
ception the beginnings of all great
movements in the kingdom of God
have been like mustard seed, small
but exceeding great in their growth.
Witness such moral developments as
the slavery question. Compare the
present day temperance agitation with
what it amounted to one hundred, yes,
twenty-five years ago. The same can
be said of countless other "move
ments."
For the third parable that of the
leaven which a woman hid In tha
three measures of meal wo need to ro
fer to Paul's inspired words as record
ed In 1 Cor. 5:5-7 and Gal. 5:8-9. I-lere
Paul explicitly tells us that leaven 19
a type of sin. That we who are In
Christ are a new lump, unleavened.
That the old leaven Is that of malice
and wickedness, but that we who have
put away leaven are the bread of sin
cerity and truth. What do we there
fore infer? Viz., that as growing up
alongside the good Beed shall alsc
grow the tares with fruitage of death
and decay.
IN PURSUIT OF HOOD'S ARMY
Member of Minnesota Regiment Gives
Details Leading to Capture of
Pointe Coupee Battery.
A sketch of the incidents leading ]
to the capture of the Pointe Coupee \
Battery at Nashville is given by Theo- i
dore G. Carter, captain, Co. K, 7th
Minnesota, in the National Tribune as
follows:
"At Nashville the sth Minn, was on
the left of the Second Brigade, First
Division, Sixteenth Corps, front line,
its left flank resting on the Granny j
White pike. The Pointe Coupee bat- j
tery was in front of my company. On
Dec. 15th we had charged and driven
the enemy's forces from two forts or :
redoubts, without stopping to place ,
guards over the guns, colors and oth- j
er captured property. Our colonel, i
W. R. Marshall, was in command of
the Third Brigade on the ltlth, and
I
"Lay Down Your Arms and Surren
der."
he was the only brigade commander
who led his brigade in that charge
of the Sixteenth Corps, and he was
on horseback at that. A lane ran
along the front of and below the high
woodland upon which the Pointe Cou
pee battery was, and the Confederates
took the inside fence rails and placed
them on top of the outer fence, with
the ends resting on top of the fence
and sloped towards us, the lower
ends covered with dirt to keep them
in place They were laid close to
gether, and it was difficult to climb
them. A shell had knocked out a
part of the obstrnction. As I was
looking towards the battery (it was
pouring grape, canister and -shrapnel
at us all the time), I did not notice
the movement of the regiment to the
right; consequently when I saw it
there was a break in my company of
some 73 or 100 yards. I told the re
maining eight or ten boys that we
would goto that gap and go over.
The boys 'boosted' me up, and as I
gained the top I saw Col. Marshall
come galloping down from the right.
He rode out into the crowd of fleeing
Confederates, calling out: 'Lay down
your arms and surrender." I Jumped
down, and telling the boys to follow
me, ran after the colonel, giving the
same call. There were apparently
thousands of them trying to get over
the hills to the Franklin pike. Our;
left claimed the capture of that bat
tery, too, yet we had been in posses
sion quite awhile before their line
had fairly started."
Sykes' Dog and Hood's Army.
After the battle of Nashville a friend
asked President Lincoln if he expected
any more trouble from Hood's army..
He replied:
"Well, no, Medill; I think Hoort's
army is about in the same fix of Bill
Sykes' dog, down in Sangamon county.
Bill had a long, yellow dog that was
forever getting into the neighbors'
meat houses and chicken coops. They
had tried to kill it a hundred times,
but the dog was always too smart for
them. Finally one of them got a small
bag and filled it up with powder, tying
a pi*ce of punk around the neck. When'
he saw the dog coming he fired this
punk, split open a hot biscuit and put
the bag in. then buttered It and threw
it out. The dog swallowed it at a
fnilp. Pretty soon there was an ex
plosion, and places of the dog fell all
around. Bill Sykes came along, and,
seeing the scraps lying around, said:
'I guess that dog, as a dog, ain't of
much more account." There may be
fragments of Hood's army around, but
I guess his army, as an army, ain't of
much more accounL"
Didn't Worry Grant.
General Sherman used to say: "T
know more tactics and strategy than
! Grant, and have just as good a mind
| and a better military training. But
what the other fellow is doing when
Grant can't see him doesn't worry him
; a hit, while it wosries me like thun
der."
What's a Fortification?
A recruit being asked what con®tW
tntod a fortification answered: "Well,
I guess two twenty-flcations make a
! forty-fleation "
