JOTTINGS.
A warm foot bath with a little sea salt is almost as restful as a nap. Paddle in the water until it cools, dry with a rough towel, put on stockings, have a change of shoes, and the woman ''who was ready to drop" will no longer have that desire.
A tonic for the sole of the foot is a handful of alcohol. This is a sure way of drying the feet after being out in a storm. Spirit baths are used by pedestrians, professional dancers, and acrobats, to keep their feet in good condition. Sleepless people should court the sun. The -very worst soporific is laudanum and the very best ia sunshine. Poor sleepers should pass as many hours as possible in the sunshine and as.few as possible in the shade. Many women are martyrs, and yet do not know it. They wear veils, carry parasols, and do all they possibly can to keep off the potent influence which is intended to give them strength, beauty and cheerfulness.
