MISCELLANY.
nish.l,eeiea shoes are bad.

VI Can any tall person give a good reason
for wearing hish-heeled shoes or boots? In
Y the case Of persons Of short stature there
may be an excuse, if not reason for the
practice. E"ery one naturally desires to
stand up to the average hight in community,
and an extra inch Of leather under the heel
/ is perhaps as inexpensive way of crafty
ing this vanity as can be devised. Yet it
costs more than may be generally supposed
more We think than the benefit % de-
4. rived can balance. The arrangement is
Y clearly an unnatural one. The untoriured
foot Of child forms an arch, with the heel
and the ball for the abutments, which
rest squarely upon the ground. Ia The nat
ural position, much Of the weight of the
body rests upon the key or top of the arch,
which from its elasticity partly yields to the
pressure, and thus acts like spring to re-
lieve the jar which walking, running, etc,
would give to the whole frame. Now when
, one abutmen! Of the arch, the heel, is raised
from its proper level, the weight above is
partly thrown from the top Of the arch
where it belongs, on to the heel, and thus
the step is rendered less elastic, and more
Earring is givin to the frame. The increased
shock is very slight, il is true. but the con-
stant repetition of even this, which occurs
in the every day exercise Of the feet, will
! in time make itself felt. This is more 10
be apprehended from the fact that the
spinal column which is directly affected by
any such Jar is the most important center
of nervous influence, and extremely sensi-
tive to any unnatural treatment.
But even if no danger be feared from
the above effects, there are paIpable evils
TO the foot itself, resulting from wearing
high heels. BY their use the foot is forced
forward into the shoe, crowding the toes
against the leather, which very soon results
IN corns. bunions, in-growing nails, and all
the evils which have called into existence
the race Of conductors and chiropodists
This difficulty is still further aggravated by
the absurd fashion of " stub-ioed shoes.
which has been prevalent for sometime past.
To prevent the foot thus sliding forward,
often fit the shoe tight upon the
instep. This intelferes with the free move
ment Of the muscles and bones of the foot,
impedes the circulation, produces cold toes,
and general discomfort. Another objection
10 high heels, Of no small importance, is The
danger from falls which they occasion. We
have known several accidents caused by the /
heels catching upon the edge of a stair and
sending the wearer head down The
whole fight. 1t is to be hoped that all the
reacers Of the american Agricalturist are ,
SO sensible as not to follow The absurd whims
Of fashion, yet some Of their neighbors may
be benefited by the hints above given, ii
conveyed them. A single yer Of leath-
er under the heel to receive the extra wear,
Is all that should be allowed, excepting in
cases of those very short people who can
rise in the world by no other means; they
may be permitted to suffer corns and risk
their necks if they insist upon it.-Ameri
can AgricuhWist.
