Following are some excellent rules for the proper care of the feet: The feet should be thoroughly wash ed every morning and evening and wiped carefully dry, especially be tween the toes, that hotbed of soft corns. The toe nails should be cut regularly, but not too often, and never shorter than ends of the toes. When buying shoes, allow perfect freedom for the toes. Have tlie breadth of the foot measured while you stand on It and allow fully half an inch to *n Inch more than the length of your foot. Have no tightness anywhere. What Blight pressure there is should be be neath the Instep and on its sides, which parts are sometimes spoken of as the "waist" of the foot. Have the sole thinnest and narrowest at the "waist" and broadest at the "tread." Don't be ashamed of the size of your foot. A well formed large foot is much better to look at than a small distorted one, and remember that well propor tioned parts always look smaller than they really are. It Is only a mistaken standard of beauty that represents hands and feet as disproportionately small. The best antique standards of beauty show the perfect foot to be about one-sixth of the whole height. To obtain health and comfort for the foot it Is by no means necessary to wear ugly boots or shoes. The boot makers are now making footgear that combines admirably both beauty and comfort, while people are gradually beginning to understand that the foot Itself Is more worth caring for than is its covering. High heels placed far under the In step are now rarely seen in the street, though still worn in the house. They are extremely injurious, as they throw the body forward in an unnatural po sition, which affects the spine, the knees and the nervous system. Chiropodists all say that if men ami women gave up wearing ill fitting boots and shoes the nest generation would know nothing of deformed and diseased feet. How to Cook Sna*RKe«. Sausages are delicious when boiled with rice until both are sufficiently cooked. Whole grains of spice and of black pepper should be putin duriug the cooking. Another way of serving sausages is to brown them in a pan, then spread them with horse radish and serve on squares of toast. Still an other acceptable way of preparing sau sages Is to wipe the sausages dry. (lip them in beaten egg and bread crumbs, put them in the frying basket and plunge into boiling fat Cook ten miu utes. Spread the Good Honda Gonpel. If congress were to appropriate mon ey for the construction or improvement of certain highways extending through the states, the people would see for themselves both the utility and the com parative cheapness of such thorough lares.—Baltimore American. WASHINGTON VILLE What People are Doing in that Interest ing Borough. WASHINGTONVILLB, PA., Feb. 6tb. The excellent sleighing has brought i many parties to Washingtonville this week.

Danville Citizens Should Weigh Well This Evidence. Proof of merit lies the evidence. Convincing evidence in Danville. Is not the testimony of stranges; But the endorsement of Danville people. That's the kind of proof given here, The statement of a Danville citizen. Mr. Levi Allegerof 102 North Spruce street, says:— " I had much lameness in my back right over my hips and an ever lasting aching over the kidneys. It hung right to me, and stooping or lifting anything caused sharp pains to pass through me. I had pains between my shoulders and railing down my spine, which unfitted me for any work. I could not sleep well at night and was tired all the time, especially first thing in the morning. I read about ton's Kidney Pills curing others of this trouble and I got them and after taking them I felt all right. They are the only thing that did me any perpanent good.'' For sale by all dealers.

Do they not have hard work to live? Good faithful work is being done by the officers every evening of the week in the hall. On Sunday a Sunday school service is held in the morning, into which they aim to bring children whodo not attend any other school or church. They are going -out into the highways and hedges and compelling them to come in. In the afternoon a Salvation Army is held. As to finance, they have faith in God, that He will put it into the hearts of the people to consider that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Whenever an officer has to devote the greater part of his time to raising finances, he can do little spiritual work. Please do not wait for the officers to come and tell you of their needs. Send donations of food or funds to Ensign S. J. Young, 44 Ash street. Then too, by your presence and testi monies in the meetings, help in the work. E. M. GATES. Trust those who have tried.

Science has never gone beyond that simple state ment of scripture Bnt it has illumin ated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the in creasing breath of knowledge. When the blood is "bad" or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgment are affected, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be directly traced to the iinpnrity of the blood. No one can be well balanced in mind and body whose blood is impure. No one can have a whole some and pure life unless the blood is pure. Foul blood can be made pure by the use of Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. When the blood is pure, body and brain are alike healthy and life be comes a daily happiness.

The most unique idea in journalism ever conceived will be introduced in the great "Philadelphia Sunday Press'' for Feburary 10. The plan is so interste-.t ing and the result so remarkable that this edition will doubtless be the most notable of the new century. Exactly what the plan is has not yet been an nounced, but that it will be a novelty is certain and there will be a great de mand for it.

Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken Internally, acting directly up on the blood and mucous surface of the sys-j tern, thereby destroying the foundation of ! the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing the work.

Many stock farmers near the largo cities are now purchasing and feeding lambs for the winter and spring mar kets, says C. T. Klgelow in The Ameri can Cultivator. They do not raise these lambs, but purchase them from the great sheep ranges of the west, south west and northwest Sheep raisers of 1 these large ranges do not find It profita hie to feed the lambs direct for the ! market, and even if they did not fatten I them up they might lose half their i weight In transit and thus cause a loss to the shippers. It has been found that these lambs can be more profitably fed nearer the markets. Besides, on the great sheep ranges there are not the ! necessary foods and facilities for feed ing the lambs for market, and It would be a waste of time and energy to at tempt to prepare the auimals for the market The farmers who have undertaken to feed these young lambs for the market have made a specialty of the business, and they have so far found it a profita ble Industry. They are purchased all the way from $2.10 to $3.50 per 100 pounds, with the freight paid to certain points, generally half the way to the large markets. The sheep provides sufficient food to keep the lambs In good condition until arrival. A carload of these lambs is received by a feeder, who immediately proceeds to feed each one with the idea of fattening It as quickly as possible for the market. The lambs are housed under sheds where they can receive all necessary protec tion from inclement weather and are fed on good corn, hay, alfalfa and roots. Feeding Is reduced to a system, and the feeder becomes an expert In lamb troubles. He Is able to single out any creature that is sick and by doctor ing it carefully for a few days is gener ally able to return It to the flock strong and vigorous once more. Loss in the lambs Is thus very small, and It is only by eliminating the danger of loss through sickness and accident that the business is made profitable. Scab and other diseases are watched for careful ly, and Its appearance in the flock is the signal for Instant dipping. Lambs are bought In the fall and early winter, sometimes up as late as January; then the animals are fattened for the Febru ary, March and April markets, the most profitable ones of the year. All are bought when from 4 to G months old and are kept in the feeding places from four to eight weeks. In this time their weights on an average are In creased about one-third, and the feed ers receive from $5 to $8 per hundred weight, according to the market and season, thus realizing a profit in higher prices and from heavier lambs. Klnir of Anxorii. America has developed an Angora buck of the highest quality, which Is a great victory for those who claim that we can breed as good stock as can be LAZABCS. found In Turkey or South Africa. Laz arus was bred by D. C. Taylor of Lake Valley, N. M., and was the champion at the recent Kansas City show. He was sold at auction to Colonel C- S. Richardson of Dubuque, la., for S7OO, the record price for an American bred Angora. §taeep In All Age*. Sheep are the earliest live stock of which we have any history and have been kept and improved from that day to this by the most civilized nations In the world, says Texas Farm and Hunch. This timid animal, the type of meekness and purity, has no doubt had much to do with the moral elevation of men iu all ages. Abel was a keeper of sheep aud brought to the altar of the Lord the firstlings of his flock, and the fat thereof and lambs were the most frequent sacrifices of the ancient Jews. The felting of the wool and the wear ing of cloth from It was evidently one of the earliest arts of man. This ani mal has always exerted an ameliorat ing Influence on man, enriching the Boil, as well as feeding and clothing the race, especially in all but the warmest climates. There are many varieties, both wild and domesticated, the differ entiation In domestication being iu the direction of mutton growing and wool growing, many of the best mutton breeds being also producers of heavy fleeces of useful if not fine wools, for there are many purposes for which the finest grades of wool are not suited. Sheep have always aud in every civi lized country been found fairly profita ble. But it Is as a farm animal rather than a ranch animal that they develop their finest traits, for thus kept they can be given the careful treatment that their nature demands. On most farms where there are no sheep a small flock ' would be a source of profit from their mutton and wool, but the effect of their droppings upon the soil would fully pay for the care they require. The writer once covered seven acres of me dium sandy soli with sheep pens, and the land, cultivated for 13 successive r j years in corn and cotton alternately, yielded an average of 513 pounds of lint cotton and 40 bushels of corn with out another pound of fertilizer. One , year the seven acres yielded nine bales of 512 pounds each. Our people should keep fewer dogs and more sheep.
