N ENGLAND’S REBELUODS CONVICTS. Prisoners Exercising in t h e Yard at Wormwood Scrubbs, One of Great Britain’s Leading Prisons, and Recently Disturbed by Mutinous Outbreaks. — The Sphere. HAD AN AWFUL DREAM. a Robbed With Unique Foot Hath. The desirability of prolonged foot baths is well recognized, as is also the inconvenience incident to the present methods of taking these baths in an open vessel of some de scription. The Inconveniences in clude seclusion of the person, re plenishing the bath and exposure of the moist skin to the air. To obviate these inconveniences an Ohio man has invented a specially designed slipper for the purpose of soaking the feet. This slipper can be readily put on or taken off, and can be worn about the house. Air is excluded from the feet, the natural warmth of the feet keeping the bath itself warm. {The slipper is made of rubber, with a comparatively heavy sole, the body,, or upper being light and elastic. The sole and upper are considerably larger than the foot, so as to provide room for the bath. The ankle fits closely. Above the ankle are hand pieces, to assist in putting on or t a k ing off the slipper. By placing a small quantity of the desired bath in the slipper the wearer can prolong the hath indefinitely without seclu sion, replenishing or exposure to cold air. Any desired liquid bath, such as plain or salt water or any medical compound may be used.— Washing ton Star. The Mexican Cargador. Just as one finds the rickshaw everywhere in India so one finds the cargador in Mexico. He is a beast of burden. In general he is a com paratively small man, with broad shoulders and stout arms and legs. To look at him one would not think he would be able to carry heavy bur dens. But the weight he can carry is surprising. You have a trunk you can scarcely move, for instance. You send for cargador. He gets it upon his back, high up on the shoul ders, and he marches off with it as easily as though it were a plaything. A life dedicated to carrying heavy burdens has mau^ this work easy for him. A slightly built Mexican will carry over 500 pounds on his shoul ders for short distances. Until lately almost everything in Mexico City and everywhere else throughout the republic was carried upon the backs of cargardors. If you wanted to move your household furniture you hired a certain num ber of cargadors. For house mov ing they generally work in pairs, each pair having a hand truck, which they pick up and carry, when it is loaded, for it has no wheels. In Mexico City there are still hundreds of these hand trucks, though one may now find plenty of carts, wagons and heavy movin^ trucks. There are also regular transfer companies. But all of these are of recent impor tation.— Mexican Herald. RECOGNIZED. A little mass Of liquid gas. A fraction of caloric— A different face, A different race. And Apes became historic.

Hunting yarns were in order, and it was up to the African explorer for bis contribution. “I was trekking along the southern srxst ct Africa a few years ago.\ said be, “and had spent most of the day shooting pheasants, sprtti^boks, vick- i :oks, duykerboks and the other kirids if ‘boks’ with which the country ibounds, when I was suddenly con- Ironted by the biggest ostrich I ever saw. “As he stood before me. Intently •egarding me, he looked to be six feet :all, and for the moment I lost my presence of mind. Then T backed iway, Intending vO shoot the big bird, out to my utter dismay found that ihe magazine of my gun was empty. “Then I remembered hearing that the legs of an ostrich turn pink when tie is angry and I looked at his limbs. They were not only pink but almost ' ted, and, as he started threateningly i toward me, I threw myself flat on the ! ground, this being admittedly the best way to escape death or injury from the blows of one of these birds when infuriated. \The ostrich came close to my side. ! and after intently regarding me for a moment, poked out his long neck, in serted his bill into the pocket of my 1 waistcoat, abstracted my watch and ralmly swallowed it with a look of ; intense satisfaction. “Next he explored the pockets of my trousers, and finding my knife. ‘ gulped that down with an expression rf gastronomic delight. My bunch of ‘ keys followed suit, as did everything . in the way of metal or glass I had 5 about me. “Then, having made a sumptuous meal of my personal belongings, he stalked majestically away, leaving me unharmed. I got up finally and went through my pockets to see if he had left anything, when, to my utter sur prise, I found my watch, knife, keys ind everything else in their proper receptacles. “Then it dawned upon me that 1 had dreamed a bad dream and I re solved never again to take a nap on the veldt.\—New York Tribune.

SAME TALL FISH STO.JES. He Needs a Home, A commuter, who rides two hours each morning to reach his work and two hours more at night to get home, was asked: \Why do you do it? Why not live in town?\ “ Because I am one of those men,\ he answered, “who cannot be happy unless he has one spot of land on God's green earth upon which he can stand and call it his own. Because I would suffocate to live all my life under a roof belonging to some one else. Because I want my children to grow up with t h e Instinct of home, and not ns mere dwellers in the tents of the migrating races. These are the reasons why I get up at daybreak and, at this time of year, eat my din ner by the gaslight.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Dr. John W. Stagg, “he tried to pass his wife s spectacles to her across a small stream by fast ening the glasses to th w e w l of his fishing line. An immense fish jumped out of the wat«r and was caught by the rims of the spectacles. When he was drawn out of the water the spec tacles were pulled across his face, and he was gazing reproachfully through Mrs. Woods’ spectacles.\ “When I was down In Mississippi.\ said Gen. R. A. Lee, “I struck a lot of fish that were so sporty that all you had to do was to rock a boat and they would jump into it and catch themselves.\ “In the Pigeon river, in this state,\ said Dr. Howerton, with grim deter mination writ on his face, \a man was fishing and he used as a sinker a big bullet that came from a revolution ary battlefield. A large fish caught hold of his hook and pulled so hard tha't when the hook came out of his gills the bullet flew back and frac tured the man’s skull.\ “Yes, that’s so,\ said Y/. L.

They no longer use a RfiliBW 5 QildiB§ hook and line, but they lie down by | the stream with rifles in their hands, and when the fish—big, fierce, fine fish they are—jurtip up into the air they shoot ’em with a rifle.
