Pu(r la Crowding the Toea. , It is well known that tho connection between the nerve in the foet, and es;xv cially those in tho great toe, and the brain and general nervoua organization is strong. Dr. Brown-Sequard mentions a patient who, whenever ho bore th weiirht of his body on the too t hi right foot, becameiyiolentl v insaney rja: si o speaks 01 anoiuer caeo wnenriuv.-r, sure on the toe caused severe pervows paroxysms. . i ' , These cases simply show he Import tance of a proper care of the feet, a por tion of the body that many people neg lect. They think that they can crowd their feet into tight shoes and abuse them without serious results. They can't do it, however. This crowding of five toes into a space not large enough for three, results in pressing the joints out of shape and sometimes making them inactive and powerless. No man with his toes half paralyzed can walk properly. The control of the toes is necessary for a springy step. Broad soles and low heels give room for an tne toes and allow perfect freedom of action to every muscle. People who have false standards of beauty for tho feet, however, insist on wearing a shoo that is not natural in shape, and tho result is errant, difwomfort. and in some cases death. As a nonseanence of these abuses we are forgetting how to walk properly, Perhaps you don't believe it, but just watch the parade on Broadway somo fine afternoon and see how few men and women walk on the street as if they were not conscious of tight shoes and deformed feet. Interview in New York Sun. The Aft of Coal Burning. I have heard that when King Hudson, in the zenith of hia fame, was asked as to what his railways were to do when all the coal was burned out, ho replied, that by that time we should have learned how to burn water. Those who are asked the same question now will often reply that they will use electricity, and doubt less think that they have thus apposed of the Question. The fallacy of such answers is obvious. A so called "water gas" may no doubt t nsed for developing heat, but it is not the water which supplies the energy, Trains may be run by electricity, but all that the electricity does is to convey the energy from tho point where it is generated to the train which is in mo tion. Electricity is itself no more a source of power than is tho rope with nrhirh a horse draers a boat along the canaL The fact is that a very large part of the boasted advance of civilization is merely the acquisition of an increased capability of squandering.

Who Are Very Sklllfiil-Thty Are NfRt "id 'lnteUlsi-ut-V-.Thef. I'y. ' , There aro probably a thousand womeil in Pittsburg who work jn iron wins uiakin bolts, nuts, hinges and barbed wire. It seems alyywt incredible that girls should be eniployed in an occupa tion which is associated only with brawn and muscle, but such is the case. At the first sight of tho bolt works one can not believe that anything bright or in teresting could- live inside. At the call of tho 0:1)0 a. m. whistle girls are seen coming from all directions toward the factory. They are generally dressed tidy and well, and. with their lunch bas kets on their arms are not unliKe any working girl one may see. The first thing they do after entering the bulding is to change their street dress for one to work 111, tie up their hair, roll up their sleeves, and. putting on a'eoffeosack apron, are ready to be- tho day's labor. At 7 o'clock the last whistle blows, tho wheels groan and screech as if they were weary to resume another day's work, but in a little while they begin to move with more rapidity and the noise amounts to something ter rific. A sulphur smoke arises, and as it embraces everything in a dim color, it needs but the dull red burning of the oil, tho horrible noises and the occa sional sound of a human voice halloing 1 command to stamp the scene on one's memory as a sumy irom sneoi. Tho bolts and nuts, as they are called, are fashioned by the brawny men on the first floor. In a crude state they are sent to other departments, when the fin ishing touches are applied by feminine fingers, ofttimcs very delicate ones. The bolts are dumped into different bins, according to size and length, and each girl has one social kind to work on. The first work on tho bolt is to "point" it that is, to make a round end so that it will enter the machine which cuts the thread on it. The point ing machine has an immovable socket at one side and steam revolving knives facing it. The operator, who is known as a "pointer," places the head of the bolt in the socket, presses her foot on a pedal, and the sharp steel knives are forced against the iron. Little bits of the i ron fly, and in an instant she re movoi her foot and the pointed bolt falls down a slide into an iron deposit box on tho floor. While the one hand and foot has been accomplishing this, the other foot sup ports tho girl, goose style, and the other hand has got a bolt ready to be placed into the socket the moment it is empty Thus for days, weeks and years the "pointer" handles one bolt after an- An dd rellew't) Odd Salt.

A wannigan is a flat bottomed boat, on which a house is built, according to the financial ability of the owner, and many of those on the west were well built and very comfortable and costly furnished. Some stand high above the river at its ordinary stage, and in cases of hih water are supposed to float. Others were built below the bank near the water's edge and raised several feet bv means of blocks and posts. With the water very near the floors no danger was apprehended by the occupants, but tho f-nrrent brouirht down logs and debris. Recently the frail underpinnings on one side of some half dozen wannigans were knocked out, and they ignomin- iously toppled over in the water, piling furniture, crockery and occupants in confusion. Then the water came in and added to the work of destruction. The wannisans might have floated on an even keel, but they were never built to be launched with only half the ways knocked out.

Expert workers have pointed 10.000 bolts in a day. When the bolts are pointed they are taieu to the cutting quarters, 'lhese ni ichines are large, with deep sinks fi' led with a thick black oil. The bolts a e placed in slides and pushed by the v orker up into sharp steel dies. In an iustant the thread is cut on them. The work is rather dangerous, and care must be exercised to keep the operator's f agers from going into the open dies and 1 aving their ends cut off instead of the iron. The oil in which the girl is com pelled to work in order to keep the blts from getting hot and thei-eb3' breaking has a very offensive odor and gradually smears the worker from the root of her frizzly bang down to her runover heels. Girls of any age, from sixteen to nfty, work in this department. Their pay by the thousand averages from hf ty cents to one dollar a day. Little sills from six years up to twelve put the nuts on the bolts and pack them. The "nutting on" is also accomplished by machine poi-er. The worker puts a nut on a plate; then, after catching the head of a bolt in the jaws above, she presses her foot on the pedal, when, presto! the work is done. At long tables, built of substantial wood, are rows tt young, girls, interspersed with a scatter- in"1 of women wnom me cast rortn m their old age. They pile the bolts, row after row, alternate heads, then wrap them in strong paper. The girls always come to the factory clad neatly and well. Dressing rooms are provided for them, and soap and towels. At noon the girls are given three-quarters of an hour. They lay aside their aprons, wash their hands and devour their wee lunches with energy worthy of a better cause. Formerly the girls would hurry their dinners and de vote the rest of their time to dancing. The orchestra was not the largest, nor did it rival the Mexican band in melody, but it answered the purpose of furnish ing time for the shabby shoed girls. It consisted of one girl and a mouth organ. The men were not permitted to come into the girl's side of the shop, but they would stand at a respectful distance, as though longing to join the merry dan cers. It seems rather strange, but the girls never mingle with the men in the same factory. They are good and hon est, and generally intelligent. The girls were very happy, and every thing moved as smoothly as steel on ice, until a forewoman was introduced to take the place of a foreman. Imme diately 6he put a stop to all singing during the day and all dancing at noon. There was a decided stir among the girls at these new rules, but they were forced to submit. Since then they spend the noon hour reading and doing fancy work. Most of the girls are experts with the needle and those who read would surprise a scholar with their quo tations. There are more handsome girls in this factory than could be found among the same number at a reception. They are beautifully formed, and the influence of the oil keeps the hands white and prevents them hardening from contact with the iron. New York Advertiser. Death of Two Valuable Dogs. Two creat St. Bernard dogs, Lord Bute and Lord Lonsdale, the first 8aUx to be the largest in the world, have jus. died at the Menthon kennels at Phoenix ville. Pa., of congestion of the lungs Lord Bute was imported by his owner, Mr. Knowles Croskey, last year from England at a cost of $4,000 and was valued at $5,000. He weighed 262 pounds and stood thirty-four inches high. He was a great favorite, and it was a com mon sight to see the gigantic dog with a keg hanging to his neck going about the town collecting contributions for churches and other charitable objects. Lord Lonsdale was likewise very large and was bred fram the same kennel as Lord Bute. He was valued at $3,000. Cor. New York Sun. Docks Killed, by the Falls. "Large numbers of ducks are being caught in the rapids and carried over Niagara falls. They are either killed oj so shocked that hunters in boats below the falls easily secure them." Com. menting on this, Mr. John B. Sage writes? "I have heard nothing of it, but you maj be sure that it's a mistake. I don't be lieve a duck was ever carried over the falls, unless he was wounded so that he couldn't fly. It is, however, a common occurrence for ducks and other birds to fly up the river from Lake Ontario ot foggy nights and fly right into the falls, and thus be killed or injured so that they are picked up in the river, and thia is probably how the story originated.' Forest and Stream. Killing Off Squirrels. The following novel plan of ridding farms of squirrels is being tried in por tions, of Asotin county, Wash. Several furrows are plowed in the field nearest where the squirrels are thickest, and at a distance of about every thirty or forty feet holes to a depth of about twenty in ches are sunk with a posthole digger. The squirrels, it is asserted, will take possession of the furrows as a play ground, and while running after one an other will tumble into these holes, from which they cannot emerge, but die. Several farmers who have tried it say it works admirably. Asotin (Wash.) Sen tinel. The Sew Parla Bridge. The new bridge in Paris, called the Pont Mirabeau," is to be constructed somewhat on the cantalever principle, since it will rest upon two piers and meet in the center. Its stability, how ever, will depend upon an adjustment of weight like that of a huge crane. The long arm meeting in the center will be of light construction, and to compensate for its weight the short arm received by the abutment will be specially heavy. New York Times. W II.
