From the Boot and Shoe Recorder. Take care ot your shoes a littlo care costs nothing. Is so easy, makes them last longer and look better. It pays to have two pairs of shoes, and wear each, every other day this way they never become perspiration soaked, and they last much longer and the wearer Is healthier. If the feet perspire, sprinkle a little powdered burnt alum In the stocking.

Perspiration rots leather. Don't allow any acids or salt lipuids to touch our shoes acid Durns ana salt rots -the leather. AVhen the shoes are wet dry 'em slowlj don't put 'em on the stove, in the oven, on the register or radiator; don't put 'em near the heat let them hv themselves: too much heat steams the leather and burns the life out of it the shoes will crack and crumme. aweee oil rubbed on shoes when they are dry will soften the leather. If black shoes have a reddish or musty color apply sweet oil and the color will come back.

AVhen using dressings or blackings use the least jou can you will have more luster the shoes wear longer. Alwavs keep the heels straight this relieves the stain and makes the snoe lit tne ruoDera oener uuu jv-ci the rubbers from wearing out at the heel. Don't let the sole become far gone before repairing. Don't have stiff soles put on because they are cheaper. The uppers are not as good as new and will not stand the strain.

AVhen taking off the shoes use the hands and not the feet. Unlace lace shoes all the way down there'll be no taking-oft and puttlng-on strain. Buttoned shoes should be buttoned whether on the foot or off that keeps the shape. When vou put jour shoes away for next season's wear, stuff them full of cotton batting, pressing it in as hard as you can. That will keep them from curling up.

Don't -put rubbers away with leather goods, as the leather oil will blister the rubber. Patent leather shoes must be kept in a warm place don't put them on when they are cold in cold weather look out for them, and don't go outdoors until they have been on fifteen minutes. Braids on the bottom of the skirt wear out shoes more than velveteen. Alwav hav shoes long enough short ones hurt the feet throw tne shoe out ot shape may force the upper from the sole. AVhen buttoning a shoe don't jerk the hook over too quickly it may cut the buttonhole.

From the Conntry to the Town. Dr. A. C. True In the March Arena.

Between 1S70 and 1SD0, speaking relatively and In round numbers, 2,000,000 men gav up farming and went to join the great army of toilers In our cities. Taking their families into account. 6,000.000 people from the farm were added to the population of the town, or, to put it in another way, in 1S70, according to Carroll D. AVright. 46.72 per cent of all the persons engaged in gainful occupations were employed in farming.

In 1SS0 only C6.44 per cent were so employed. The farms lost 10 per cent in these twenty years. The same causes which produced that great movement of population to the towns are still operative. j.ne rush to the cities continues and will continue. Nor is this movement confined to this country.

The same thing has taken place In Europe. Such cities as Berlin and Budapest have grown in recent years almost as rapidly as Chicago or Buffalo. For this tendency to leave the farm and seek his fortune in the town. It is common to lay great blame on the shoulders of the farmer's boy. He is popularly supposed to be an uncommonly restless person, who, weary of the dull routine in which he has been reared, and attracted by the glareand excitement of city streets and pleasures, leaves the plow in the furrow and.

without so much as casting one look backward in regret for separation from old friends and associations, hastens to mingle In the strife and turmoil of the town. The fact is that, broadly speaking, men leave the farms because they are not needed there. The introduction of labor saving machinery and rapid transportation has produced the same result In agriculture as in other kinds of manufacturing. A smaller number of men working in our fields turn out a much greater product than the greater number of laborers could possibly secure in olden times, and the products of all lands are easily carried to where they; are needed. For a time in this country, cheap land, superficial methods of cultivation, rapid development of farm machinery and the swift increase of population engaged in mining and manufacturing, enabled our farmers to extend their operations with profit, and to give emplovment to thousands of new men.

But gradually and more rapidly within tne past twenty-live years, invention has gained the mastery in agriculture as in other arts. The brain ot man has triumphed over his hand here as elsewhere. Enough is produced to feed and clothe tne worm, i-ewer work- ers per acre are required. The horse or en tnp pip'of the boy or the man. Make farm jfe never so attractive and there will 1,,, itt.in In tne neit than th'e parnts can take care of.

Some must get out' and pick up their own living abroad, or else all will be poorly nourished. It is not love of the town so much as necessity to earn a livelihood off the farm which drives boys to the town and makes them competitors in thp great industrial struggles at the centers of population.
