I like these long autumn evenings, they
are full of pleasant possibilities, and if we

The Clare of Shoes.
For men and children, especially, shoes
(or boots, if they are worn) should be well oil-
ed from time to titne, depending upon the
employment of the wearer, the quality of
the leather, ami the weather. Not only is a
hard, dry leather painful to the feet, but it
is of short life, cracking and breaking away
oftentimes when with proper care it would
last much longer. It not frequently happens
that nmkers or dealers are blamed boeause
-their goods do ant wear better, when in
fact the principal fault is with the wearer,
or in not using reas.onable care. Speaking
generally. any sluice which have been wet
shoull 10, well dried, thoroughly cleaned,
and then faithfully oiled before being worn
accain. The kind of oil to apnly varies some-
what with the nature of the shoes. For
ladies' fine shoes, vaseline is recommended ;
glycerine is sometimes used with gooel effect;
or castor oil eau be employed, and will
be found excellent. Whatever is al).
plied, the leather should be warm.

"The Best Boy Story I Ever Beard."
That is what &lawyer said about the story
that 13812 to relate to you: "It is the best
boy story I ever heard."
"II'e have 11011 a good many bnys with us
from thne to time," said Mr. Alden, the
senior member of a lar,go hardware estab-
lishment in Market street, Philadelphia, "as
apprentices to learn the businees. What
may surprise you is that we never take cam -
try bosettudees they live in the city with
some relative who takes care of them and

loot oil and beef tallow; and mutton tallow
is an olcl-time favorite. But one thing is
quite certain—no boot or shoe whiah feels
harsh and stiff from exposure to wet weather
or dampness of any sort should be worn in
that condition. The leather -will be almost
sure to crack and spoil the shoe. And there
is another foot which should be born in mind,
and that is that a coat of blaoking, while it
may make the external appearance of the
shoe all right, does not in any degree atone,
so far as wear andcomfort are concerned, for
the absence of a lubricant and of proper
care.
General tidiness not only "pays" on its
own account, but because to be tidy is to be
economical. First of all —and it is surely
on/y necessary to say this for the children
—keepthe shoes neatly buttoned or laced.
It requires only the absence of a button or
two to spoil the effect of the most elegant
pair of shoes; and as for going with them
unbuttoned, as sometimes is done, for the
sake of ease to the feet—don't. But a pair
of slippers or easy low shoes, if necessary,
• far this particular service, but do not spoil
a fine pear of shoes in that way, Do not
consider that it is too much work to re-
place a missing button when it is needed;
do not put it off because "things are not
handy." Have them handy !It is very little
trouble, indeed, to have a little box of shoe
buttons, a needle and thread, in easy reaoh,
and it is the work of bubo moment to give
the few stitches that are needed. Then—
the work 18 done, If laoes are used, never
failto have a few extra pairs, right where
the hand can be placed on them when they
-will be wanted. All this cods nothing—it
is simply the difference between providence
and improvidence. And speaking of Mittens,
especially for the restless feeb of the child,
beware of patent fastenings. They are sure
at break away sooner or later—generally
sooner—and then it is no simple matter,
either to replace them, or supply the absence
with an ordinary button, .A plain, round,
'black button, securely fastened with strong
thread, is the best.

(says Adam of Bremen) grew at Upsala, in
front of the great temple, and another in
Dithmarschen, carefully guarded by a rail-
ing, for it was, in a mystical way, connect-
ed. with the fate of the country. When
Dithmarsehen lost its liberty the tree with-
ered, but a magpie, one of the best pro-
phesying birds of the north, economic' built
its nest on the withered tree, and hatched
five little ones, all perfectly white, as a sign
that at some future time the country would
regain its former liberty.
Sleeping Two in a Bed.
The custom of sloepingin double beds is
one which is going—and iaghtly going—oat
of fashion, says the Sheffield Telegraph. Of
course, every one knows, theoretically, that
it is far more healthy to sleep alone. But of
what avail has this theoretic knowledge
been?
The child has been first allowed to sleep
with its nurse—a mast pernicious custom—
er ite older sister, or its mother ; the grow-
ing girl sleeps with her roomenate at
school ; the young lady with her aunts and
her cousins and her girl friends indiserhnin-
ately.
People who would have hesitated to allow
O letinch of roses to remaffi in the room over
night, or a growing plant, have never hacl
their own bed to themselves year in and
year out The plant—which did not con-
sume the oxygen of whieh their lungs stood
in need, but precisely the effete gases thrown
off by. their own system—was thought very
injurious.
Another pair of lungs breathing up the
breathable air and infecting the remainder
with the respiratory refuse of those physi-
cal processes that are most active during
sleep was not thought of with any objection
at all.
Yet what a simple law of hy,,,eiene would
not do, fashion, a notion as to what is " oor-
root," is beginning to achieve, From fash-
ionable furniture establishments there
comes the announcement that two single
bedsteads are always called for at present
with each chamber suite banished for what
is known as "8(0011 patronage,"
How many fatal diseases, how many cases
of slow undermining and poisoning of the
system are clue to this custom of promiscu-
ous sharing of double beds on the part of
young girls, who will ever know ?
