'When e kinsman of Boaz consented to waive his claim upon the' parcel of land which Naomi would sell in fa- yor of Boaz, he 'drew off his shoe,' for 'this was.a testimony in Israel.' "In 'a different sense the removal of a shoe marks the winding up of negotiations among the laws and or- inances given in the book of Deu- teronomy, where the widow who is refused marriage by her husband's survivi g brother is directed to 'come 'unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose hig shoe from off his foot," thus asserting her in- dependence and heaping 'upon him the blame for failure to comply with 'When the Emperor Viadimar proposed marriage to the daughter of Reginald she refused him with the words: IT will not take off my shoe to the son of a slave.' "In Anglo-Saxon marriages the bride's father delivered her shoe ta the bridegroom, who touched her on the head with it in token of his authority." rR LOCKJAW CAN BE CURED. Tut It Takes Quick Work and Plen- ty: of the -Anti-Poison, The popular belief that a wound from treading on a rusty nail is very likely to cause tetanus is quite corréct. 'This is not because it is a nail or is rusty, but because by lying 'on the ground it has become infected with the germs of lock- jaw. Moreover, as the punctured wound caused by the nail bleeds! but little. and this blood dries up ard excludes the air; the most fav: orable conditions for the develop- ment of tetanus exist, for, as Kita: sito, the: nese bacteriologist, 4 a . | proved, the pm of ' oxygen is most favorable germ, ~The germ itself looks very much like a tack; according. to a writer to the growth of this developed tetanus: $d rete A eee CHEAP MILK REFRIGERATOR. How It is Made From s Wooden Box and a Tin Pail, If milk is not kept cold it is a dangerous food for babies, for ev- ery minute that it is much above the temparture of ice the germs of disease. increase in it at an: alarming rate. Very many babies die of 'summer 'complaint merely because their milk has been allow= <d to stand for hours in a warm room, 4 Many are unable to buy enough i*e in summer to preserve milk in ordinary refrigerators for twenty: four hours. Most mothers, howev« er, buy a five cent cake every merning and by following the sug- gestidn of Dr. Alfred F. Hess can make at home at small cost an ex- cellent milk refrigerator that re. quires only a very little ice: 'Obtain a box from the grocer, any wooden box a foot in depth will answer the purpose. Buy a tin pail with 8 cover, one deep enough to hold a quart bottle of milk and a slightly larger pail without a cov- er, Place one inside the other and stand them in the centre of the box. Now pack sawdust or excelsior be- neath and all about them to keep the heat from getting in; complete the refrigerator by nailing about fif- ty layers of newspaper to the under surface of the box cover. "The refrigerator is now ready for use. In the morning as soon as the milk is received it should be placed 'in the pail and five cents worth of ice should be cracked and piaced about the milk bottle. The cover should be replaced on the can ar«l the lid on the wooden box. Every morning the® melted ice should be. poured off." gid Nothing short of hard cash. will make an impression on & heart of stone. # A' woman isn't necessarily wise because she can fool a fool man: The_ trouble' with some men is tliey have too: many fool friends. | i Canadi an Appreciatio : "The" car ran perfectly; Before 'ship- 3 cov & three wee! ;
