243 were females.

The Hhite Man's Feet n 's' %
!. Edward EEL Ohesver, I'm, The MAY
number of 1He NdtardJiSt, gives a mos
interesting paper ON the :" Indians of Cal
4 ifOrnia, ,pm which we find The following
passage: In tracking white mon, they
(the Indians) cannot make mistakes. The
white mans foot is deformed, made so by
the shape of his boots and shoes, and ever
when barefooted, his toes are turned in
ward. The Indians foot, never having
been compressed, has the toes naturally
A.. formed and straight, as our fingers are
and he can even use them tC
hold arrows when he is making
them. When he walks. therefore
each toe leaves its imprint in the
dust or sand, the imprint of the little toe
being as straight, perfect and distinct as
the largest" ..'.r3
This paragraph might. be made the text
for an article. We wish we knew of some
plausible reason why Indians deserve bet
ter formed feet than white people, but We
