The Ara OF walking.

In n graceful human step the heel Is
always raised before the foot is lifted from
the ground, as if the foot were a par, Of
a wheel rolling forward; and the weight
of the body, supported by the muscles Of
the calf of the leg, rests for the time on
the fore part OF the foot and tocsj there
is then bending Of the foot in certain
degree. But when strong wooden shoes
ure used, or any shoe so stiff that II will
not yield and al low the bending of the
foot, the heel 10 not raised at oil until the
whole foot rises W th il; so that the mus
clcs Of the calf are scarcely used and in
consequence, soon dwindle in size and
almost disappear. Many of the English
farm servants wear heavy, stiff shoes;
and in London il is striking thing to
see the drivers of the country wagons
with fine robust persons in tie upper part
but with legs that are neshless spindles;
producing gait which is awkward and
unmnnly. The brothers of these men,
who are otherwise employed are not so
misshapen. What a pity that, Cor the
snke of trihing saving, fair nature should
thus be dsformed! An example of this
kind is seen in Paris; there, as the streets
have few or no side payements, and the
ladies' have to walk almost constantly on
tiptoe, the great action Of the muscles Of
the calf has given conformation Of the
leg and foot to match, which the Partisan
bellies pr oudly challenge all the world
not aware probably, thot II is a defect in
their city towhich the pecu'iarity in their
form is in part owing.

THERE is q story in circulation in Ma
pies that a mason there was visited in
the night by two strangers, who took
him in a carriage, blindfolded. to q
strange house, where he was led up
stairs, aud ordered, on pain of death, to
mako a hola In the wall of chamber
sufficiently large to admit coffin. This
done, a coffin was brought In, and a
young lady, .hansomely dressed, was
dragged into the room aud forced into IL.
The lid was screwed down, aad the cof-
dn was walled up by the mason, who
was then again blindfolded and taken
TO the sea beach, paid ten piastres, and
told that he, might tell all he knew
He did tell the police, but no could not
describe the house.

One Of the most experienced and veteran

from writer to whom the whole region
referred to has been familiar for years.
Further than that, 1t should be said that he
has been until the war began 1nostvigorous

accepted as the truth forced upon candid
observer:

People in Europe have been unable to &C,
