HUMAN FEET.-The French foot is
meagre, narrow and bony; the Spanish is
small and elegantly eurved-th thanks to its
Moorish blood, corresponding with the Cas-
tilan pride" high in the instep." The
Arab foot is proverbal for its high arch; /;
a stream can run under the hollow of
it" The foot of the Scotch is large and
thick that of the Irish, fiat and square !;
the English short and Aeshy. The Amer
lean foot is apt to be disproportionately
small.
A foot, for both beauty and speed should
be arched, fairly rounded, and its length
proportioned to the heighth of the per-
son.. The ankle, especially of women,
should express tcnderness--should be
round and firm, and not too small The
reader may readily trace the marked pc
culiarities of u nation by the form of the
feet of its people; and from the national
characteristics syinced by the feetrlready
cited, it will be perceived that the abest
people, Intellectually, enjoy the advan-
tages of the Grmcst understandings.
Judged by this theory, the inhabitants
of our Middle States occupy the highest
scale in the intellectual entities; forwith-
out their feet being so diminutiye as are
those of the Orientals, they add to the
frmness of the English, Scotch and Irish
feet, the arched elasticity of the Arab and
Moor.
Since we enjoy the blessings of such
superior feet, how great is the cause of re-
gret that we have not better shoemakers !,
There is not one of them in a hundred
who understands the first principle of fit
ting the toe easily and gracefully. They
vainly suppose that by tracing the shape
of the sole on piece of paper and then
measuring round the toe, heel and instep,
they have thereby obtained the shape of
the foot; whereas they have not even de-
rived the data from which to guess its
shape If in High Art the aphorism by
Raphael that aoutline is the picture"
should always be regarded, how much
more implicitly should be adhered to in
dressing the feetl The shoemaker must
obtain the shape of the foot before he can
find it. The size is not the shape Be-
sides the size, the artisan should ascertain
the height of the instep from dead lev
| ell
This piece of art-philosophy, shoema-
kers would do well to study.

To MAKE FARMING PROFITABLE
Every beginner in farming, by secur-
ing the following essentials will sue
ceed.
Buy no more land than theIe IS
capital enough to pay for with one
third more for surplus. A small
farm free from debt, with plenty q
means to stock it, and carry on ats
work, will yield more than a larger
one encountered with debt, conducted
feebly in every part, with bad fences,
poor implements, bony animals, weedy
fields, and thin crops.
Lay out the fields in good order,
so as to give ready access to every
field at all times, passing through
other fields
Provide good fences and Necessary
gates, and valuable time will not be
lost in driving out intruding animals,
nor crops lost by their depredations.
Furnish good farm buildings to Sc
cure properly the crops, and to af-
ford shelter to animals.
Select the best animals and the
best implements that can be secured
for reasonable price.
Bring the soil into good condition
by manuring and draining, and keep
it SO by q jidicious rotation.
Effect clear and systematic ar
rangement of all the work, so that
there shall be no clashing or. confu-,
sion.
Employ diligence and energy, and
adopt careful management.-E'ay-
