Short and High llceled Shoes.

The fashion of wearing short and high
heeled shoes is very injurious one to the shape
and Use OF the feet. A short heel does not
support tue arch OF tue foot, but allows it to
sink, stretching and wear ening the ligaments
that hold the bones of the arch together, and
making the person fat footed. The purpose
OF the arch 1T the foot is to give elasucy and
spring 70 Il 'et, ana prevent sudden shocks
being TRANSMITTED too abruptly to the body
and brain. \ person with a high-archod loot
steps lighter, and more gracefully, can walk
with much less fatigue, and run and jump
much better that flat-footed person.
Many loose their natural ease and grace of
molten, and become stiff and awkward walk
ers, simply from wearing short-heelcd shoes,
and thereby losing their natural e.ast,citr Of
step. The matter is made still worse by hav-
ing the heels very high, as well as short An,
other effect of tlattening the arch of the foot
is to increase its length, and the foot is often
heightened in this way to the extent of halfto
three-quarters of an inch. Short and high
heeled shoes.als readily permit the least turn
ing over OF tine ankle, and many a strained
and weakened ankle is the result O. them
Ladies are the great sufferers from this
foolish fashion, but men suffer also to some
extent. The heel is usually made at least
twice as high as it should be, and ottimes not
more than half as long. They can in all
cases be safely made from one-half to three
quarters OF an inch longer than they are In
conclusion, If you value the appearance OF
your feet, the ease and gracefulness Of your
step, and the strength Of your understanding
look to your heels.-HeraM Of Health.

INDUSTRY LESGTHENs LIFE.-Dr. Guy, and
Engishman, in calculating the average dura-
ton OF life OF the wealthy classes, arrived at
the very surprising result, with regard to
adults that the higher their position in the
social scale, the more unlimited Their means,
less also the probability ola long life. We
have been SO long accustomed to consider the
possession Of riches as the best guarantee
of physical welfare, that many will be sur
prised to hear from Guy the probability of
the duration of life lessons, with regard to the
adults IN each class OF the population, in the
same degree as the beneficial impulse for oc-
cupation is lacking. If person who for a
long time has lived an active life retires from
business, 1t may be taken for granted with a
probability OF ten to one that he has seized
the most effective means to shorten his life"
