BICYCLE FOOT THE LATEST.
Addition to the List or Allmeit* Peculiar
to Wheelmen.
Horror of horrors—here comes the
bicycle foot!
Think of it madame if you persist in
bicycling it will eventually affect your
foot! It will swell the muscles thicken
the bones spread the joints enlarge the
cartilaginous tissues destroy the con-
tour of your ankle broaden your heel
■nd —this is in strict confidencemadame
—it will make you wear a bigger shoe.
The important question before wheel-
women to-day is: Shall bicycling be
abandoned and the diminutiveness of
the foot preserved or shall the health
of the body be improved even at the ex-
pense of the poor foot? This of course
fa a matter that each lady must solve for
herself. It lies entirely between her
conscience and her foot.
Here is how the feet are marred saj’s
the New York Journal. The hinge joint
between the tibia and fibula and astra
gal us is capable of very little motion
consequently the effect of continuous
motion is felt mostly in the articula-
tions of the small tarsal bones and the
bones of the metatarsus. Gradually
the ligaments and muscles uniting these
bones become elongated and enlarged
the bines spread slightlyand the result
is an abnormally developed instep and
ankle. Then again constant pressure
upon the sole of the foot hardens the
flexor longens ligltorum or long flexor
of the toes and thus destroys that pret-
ty curve that is supposed to be the index
to aristocracy.
Even the calcis or heel bone feels the
effect of this violent exercise. The
tendon of Achilles is brought perman-
ently into action and is greatly
strengthened and enlarged thereby
rounding out a normally slim heel
much to the owner’s displeasure.
Each of the small bones of the tarsus
has two or more ligamentous attach-
ments and there are from 17 to 20
muscles uniting the seven bones of the
tarsus with the four metatarsal bones
and the 14 phalanges; consequently
when each of these muscles is developed
ever so little beyond the ordinary size
it cannot help but make the owner's
feet considerably out of proportion to
the rest of the bodv.
American Government to ERtabHuh a
The secretary of agriculture will es-
tablish a department on July 1 to be
called the biological survey. The re-
sult is expected to be a tremendous
ieconomic advantage. Agriculturists
horticulturists and stock raisers are
to be given charts showing the exact-
position of each state and territory
where certain animals and vegetables
can be advantageously raised. These
will be supplemented by a large cata-
logue containing every land animal
and vegatable of the world and indi-
cating the areas in which they may be
raised or cultivated by Americans.
Millions of dollars are thrown away
each year by farmers and other pro-
ducers who plant seed in the wrong
soil or climate or who undertake to
breed animals w’here the atmosphere
and food resource is uncongenial. An
efficient corps of naturalists connect-
ed with the biological bureau will
make a detailed survey of the whole
country counting and classifying the
living species found in each county of
each state and territory. They will also
note the conditions of climate altitude
and soil and will note how far each
condition influences the distribution
of the species. The chief of the new
survey will be Dr. C. Hart Merriam.
A survey of the entire country will
be made and charts will then be pub-
lished showing the exact location of
the various species. No other country
in the world has ever instituted a sur-
vey of this kind.

Mexican Government Sends Ont Warship
Zaragosa on a Hydrographic Expedition.
The first scientific expedition prose-
cuted by the Mexican government has
just started out from San Francisco.
All the scientists who will participate
in the governmental investigations
went early aboard the Mexican war ship
Zarag osato perfect their arrangements
and it is to them that the expedition is
Intrusted.
The Zaragosa is connected with the
Mexican hydrographic bureau. The
government heretofore has been utiliz-
ing the reports of foreign bureaus and
this expedition is the first attempt to
secure information by native investiga-
tion. With this object in view the Zar-
agosa will proceed directly to Honolulu.
Complete records will he taken of ail
hydrographic conditions of the various
places touched. From Honolulu the
ship will stop at the following places in
order: Japan Phillipine islands Su-
matra Calcutta Bombay Red sea Suez
canal Egypt the important ports of
southern Europe and England. Then
the return to Vera Cruz will be made.
“The popular idea that the age of
a horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth" said a veterinary surgeon
cn Michigan avenue “is not entirely cor-

has no more new teeth so that the tooth
method is useless for telling the age of
a horse which is more than eight years
old. As soon as the set of teeth is com-

IS A HELPMEET INDEED.
How the Wife of Thomas Edison Enters
Into His Labors and Triumphs.
Mrs. Thomas A. Edison has always
been in full sympathy with her hus-
band’s work and is supremely happy
over the wonderful success he has at-
tained in the field of science. She is
at once a loving mother and affection-
ate and dutiful wife and a helpmate.
She reigns queen of the Edison palace
in Llewellyn park while her husband
wields the magical wand of genius In
his laboratory at Orange N. J. She
often visits him at his laboratory even
assisting him in his experiments. On
some occasions when he has remained
in his workroom for days at a time
delving into the wonderful laws of na-
ture and seeking to apply them to his
purpose she has been with him the
entire time sleeping on a cot near his
work bench.
That Is the only kind of a woman that
could live happily with Edison or any
other genius and that is also the only
kind of a woman that is a suitable and
agreeable wife to a man whose life is
a slave or rather a tool to science. Mrs.
Edison was a Miss Miller an Ohio girl
the daughter of a mechanic and en-
gineer of some inventive genius. It
is'apropos to say that “Tom” Edison
is also a Buckeye. He was born at
Milan Erie county 0. February 11
1847. His mother was a sensible agree-
able and well-educated woman and his
father was a village jack-of-all-trades
earning a living by doing odd jobs for
neighboring farmers. Edison's entire
school life amounted to two months.
His biographer writes: “Whateverelse
he knew as a boy he learned from his
mother. Edison's first wife was a
bright little office clerk whom he ad-
mired proposed to and married all
within the short space of three days.
NEW INDUSTRY IN BLACK HILLS.
Fuller's Earth Mines to Bo Worked and
the Product Refined.
Another important industry is to be
added to those of the Black Hills re-
gion being the establishment of a ful-
lers’ earth factory which will be the
second one in operation in the United
States. L. M. Thayer of Okala Fla.
and J. H. Jones of Omaha are the men
who are promoting the enterprise as
representatives of the mining syndi-
cate limited of Okala Fla. The com-
pany recently purchased the fullers’
earth mines near Fairburn and Pringle.
The factory for the manufacture of the
article is now in process of construc-
tion at Hot Springs S. D. and will be
ready for the commencement of opera-
tions In the near future. Employment
will be furnished 15 or 20 men from the
first six or eight of them being expert
workmen who will be brought from
elsewhere. The working capacity of
the factory will be increased as business
demands. The process of converting
fullers’ earth from its crude state into
the marketable article is a secret.
ELOPES WITH HIS AUNT.
Singular Attachment of a Boy for a De-
formed Relative.
Two elopements In the same family
have occurred at Wilkesbarre Pa. with-
in a few days Thomae Travena 17 years
old running away with his aunt Miss
Bessie Travena 43 years old and Rich-
ard Hopley 19 years old Travena's
cousin being secretly wedded to Miss
Edith Rowe 17 old. Young Tra-
vena worked In a lace mill gate his
wages to his parents and spent the
evenings in study. About a year ago
his father’s sister Bessie came from
England to live with them. She is a
dwarf and deformed yet the lad formed
an attachment for her. The parents
noticing this reproved both of them
without avail. After another scolding
Bessie left on Wednesday taking her
trunk and in it much of Tom’s cloth-
ing. On Saturday the boy quietly left
Lis work and did not appear at home.
His father notified the police who
found he had met his sweetheart at
Luzerne Borough and left with her for
New York.
Becoming Colors In Dress.
Blonds should not wear yellow and
brunettes should not put on pale or
bright blue. Those who have brown
hair and blue eyes and who are neither
dark nor fair may wear certain shades
both of yellow and of blue the middle
tints w<hich are neither vivid nor pale.
Pink is becoming to almost all young
girls but should be avoided by those
who have a high color or florid com-
plexions. There are so many shades
of green that almost everyone can find
one that suits her. The same may be
said of brown but gray Is different. A
dark girl must choose the grays which
have a tinge of yellow or brown in them;
never the gray which is pure black and
white or that which shades on the blue*
MEN'S HANDS.
They Are Awkward Appendages in Bo-
ciety—the Bon-Bon Box.
lt is sometimes interesting to observe
the awkward use men make of their
hands at formal indoor assemblages of
the two sexes says the New York Sun.
To the larger number these members
are a positive iaeumbrance and every
deviee is resorted to to find employment
for them. Even in the older social cen-
ters of Europe a graceful and easy dis-
posal of the hands by men is recog -
nized as exceptional. During the reign
of Louis XIV. XV. and XVI. when the
elegancies of high life> were studied in
the minutest detail the superfluity of
the hands was a matter of grave con-
cern. Relief was found however in
the pommel of the sword the bonbon
or the snuff box. These proved havens
of refuge and manual awkwardness
was saved from shipwreck. The snuff
box endured until the early years of the
present century; but since it has passed
away the society man is left to such de-
vices for the use of his bands as inge-
nuity can suggest. The beacon of sal-
vation is at last in sight through the
vogue now in progress of growth in
Paris for the use of bonbon boxes by
men. These receptaeles are coming
into common use and many are of great
cost and beauty of workmanship. They
are made in chased gold and silver or
enameled and set with- precious stones.
Not only do they contribute a decora-
tive note to social functions but they
offer grateful relief to those men whose
hands are apparently superfluous on
such occasions. Without doubt this
new fashion will find favor with us and
within a brief period thousands of these
bonbon boxes will be made in Newark
and exhibited in Chicago society as an-
cestral heirlooms of the time of Louis
xrv.
HOW SALMON ARE CANNED.
The Rough and Elementary Process
Through Which Tide Table Dainty Goes.
Salmon though usually considered a
delicate and somewhat expensive dain-
ty are canned -by a process which is
both rough and elementary says Pear-
son’s Weekly.
At the spot where they are to be
landed rude sheds are built close down
by the water's edge. The salmon are
thrown out of the boats by forks and
passed into the first shed where a
butcher armed with a long knife de-
prives them of heads tails fins cuts
them open and hands them on to the
washing room.
Thence they pass into the hand of
another butcher who divides them up
into suitable lengths. These are stuffed
into the cans which are then placed on
an inclined plane their tops being au-
tomatically soldered on as they roll
down.
The cans are arranged on a tray and
immersed in boiling water. They are
taken out and tested they are given a
lacquer bath and tested again by the
simple means of hammering a nail
against the tins and judging the qual-
ity by the sound given out.
Forty-eight cans are packed in a
case and the salmon a short time ago
alive and fresh now cooked and canned.
Is ready for ths market.
An average sized fish will fill 20 cans
several thousand going through the
rough canning process a day.
CANNED WITH THE TOMATOES.
A Factory Girl Loses • Watch In Thia
The finding of a gold watch and chain
In a can of tomatoes by an Indianapo-
lis woman brings out a remarkable
story says the Indianapolis News. The
find was reported and the circumstance
noted In the News and the next day
a young woman who is employed in a
cannery appeared at the office and iden-
tifled the watch and chain.
She lost them she said two years ago
and while employed at the factory. Sho
did not know how she lost them and ad-
vertised in the News at the time for
several days. She says this would have
discovered her property if it had not
been sealed in a can in a storehouse.
She had long ago bought a new one.
The lost one was dearer to her however
both because it was prettier and be-
cause it was given to her. Her theory
is that the watch and pendant chain
dropped from her belt into one of the
elevator buckets of tomatoes was car-
ried to the filler and went through the
filler to the can. The bow or ring
which connects watch and chain was
not found and it is believed that thia
part was not solid gold and wae there-
fore eaten by the acid of the tomatoes.
The mainspring was broken but every-
thing else kept Intact during the tw®
years’ handling of the can and. the
watch is again as good aa new and ia
keeping good time. The foreman of
the factory says that another watch
was lost by one of the girls Ipat year.
Bow to Clean straw Hats.
The straw hut of last season may be
cleaned by scrubbing it with a brush
and pure castile soap and water. If it
looks yellow after this scrubbing rub
•t with lemon juice to bleach it. Then
press the brim straight with a hot iron.
A new hat band will freshen it up until
it looks like this season's production.
Enormous tracts of Africa especial-
ly the region between the Kongo and
Shari basins and much .of the area in-
closed by the great northern curve of
the Niger remain unexplored. There
is also unappropriated territory to the
extent of 1584398 square miles.

COLORED WOMEN'S LEAGUE.
Washington. D. C. July 14.—The
Afro-American Women's League of
the United States began the first an-
nual convention this morning in the
Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church.
A large number of prominent colored
women from various parts of the
country was present. The convention
will last three days and a program
including the reading of papers and
delivery of addresses has been pre-
pared. The main purpose of the
league is to enable colored women of
all parts of the country to unite in
one organization for the betterment
of the entire race. The session this
morning opened with prayer followed
by an address of welcome by the na-
tional president.

appear upon the citizenship rolls of
the nation nor does the law. returning

vision for them.
Governo Jarduer and the Dawes
commission will meet in Tuskahomo
July 27th. It is stated that Governor
Jarduer has called for a special ses-

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.
General George Washington Russ
tile chief fugleman for the Bexar
county Big Six mugwumps so-called
Democrats says:
“I am emphatically in favor of the
ticket and every plank in the plat-
form. Bryan occupies much the same
position Stephen A. Douglass did iu
1860 only differing in issues. Demo-
crats defeated Douglass for which
the country still mourns. The people
are alarmed and aroused against the
encroachment of English and Ameri-
can combinations and will make this
campaign a battle for humanity. The
great danger is in the unholy and un-
lawful use of money to corrupt the
ballot. I have faith lioth iu the hon-
esty and patriotism of our people and
believe they will prove by their bal-
lots in November that we are capable
of self government. A susidized
press has not frightened our patriotic
leaders in this great struggle by call-
ing them socialists and anarchists.
These are the favorite terms applied
by trusts and their ciackers to any
oue who dares remain honest and
fearless in politics.”
If our dear general is in earnest let
him prove “his honest aud fearless”
political convictions by calling a
a straight Democratic county conven-
tion. and demand that a full county
ticket be nominated on a free silver
platform and then let's see what San
