Short and High laceled 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 weahe ning 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 aet ana prevent sudden shocks
being TRANSMITTED too abruptly to the yodv
and brain. 4 person with high-arciod loot
steps lighter, and more gracefully, can walk
with much less fatigue, and run and jump
much better that a fiattooted person.
Many loose their natural ease and grace OF
motion, and become stiff and awkward walk
ers, simply from wearing short-heeled shoes,
and thereby losing their natural elasticity of
step. The matter is made still worse bv hav-
ing the heels very high, as well as short. An,
other effect of tiattening the arch of the foot
is to increase its length, and the foot is often
heightened ia this way to the extent of half ia
three-quarters of an inch. Short and high
heeled shoes. also readily permit the least turn
ing over OF the 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 ottmes moi
more than half as long. They can in al
cases be safely made from half To three
quarters OF an inch longer than they are. Ii
conclusion, if you value the appearance o
your feet, the ease and gracefulncss of you
step, and the strength of your understanding
look to your heels.-Herah Of Heath.

INDUSTRY LESGTHENs LIFE.-Dr. Guy, and
Engshman, 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 tine 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 selzed

In measuring an acre by yards the usual
practice is, to trace off 20 yards in length and
20 yards in width this, in rough way, may
be considered near enough for practical pur-
poses, but as 70 yards either way makes 1900
square yards it exceeds one acre by 60 square
yards To determine an acurate acre, it
should be measured 70 yards in length, by co
yards in breadth. The same result may be
arrived at by measuring 900 feet in length and
29S feet IN width, or by measuring y 10
yards in length by &c yards in breadth.

READING IN RAILWAY CARs.-Aost, if not
all who read on railroads, are sensible of
weight and WEAKNESS about the eyes This
sensation is accounted for on high medical
authority, by the fact that the exact distance
between the eyes and the paper connot be
maintained. The conclusions and oscillations
OF the train disturb the powers of vision, and
any variation, however slight, is met by an
effort at accommodation on the part of the
eyes. The constant exercise of so delicate an
organ, OF course, produces fatigue and if the
practice of railroad reading is PERSISTED IN,
must result in permanent Injury. Added to
this difficulty is bad or shifting light. The
safe and prudent mode is to read little, If any,
while riding IN the cars.

uIne Of paper In circulation.
There are two GtfGCtual and certain ways Of
placing tile country In condition when spc-
Gle and paper will possess the same CONNER
cial value. By diminishing the amount Of
paper In circulation, the difference between
the commercial value Of paper and coin will
diminish, and by pursuing this policy the diff.
ference will disappear altogether.
All legislation limited In It's operation TO the
paper issues Of the banks aud Of the Govern
menL whether bearing interest or not, and
which In It's effects shall tend to diminish the
market value Of coin, will be found Upon an
alysis, TO contain plan for contracting the
volume Of paper currency and all legislation,
so limited, which does not contain such a
plan, will prove Intellectual.
Accepting this proposition, and believing
that the country is not prepared TO sustain the
policy OF contraction, II only remains for me
" consider the means by which the value Of
our currency may be Improved.
The basis Of policy Of improvement must
be found In sturdy refusal to add to the
paper In circulation until II 10 Of the same
value, substantially as cOlu.
| This being accepted Us the settled purpose
| OF the country, there can be no permanent
Increase Of the difference between paper and
coin, and an opportunity will be given for
the influence Of natural causes, tending, upon
the whole, to u better financial condition.
We may count, first, among these, the in-
crease Of population and Its distribution over
new fields of business and labor. Secondly,
In the South especially, the number Of per
sons having property and using and holding
money will Increase, Next we may antlCi-
pate a more general use Of paper In Texas
and the lhcldc States, by which, practically,
for the rest Of the country, the volume Of pa
por will DO diminished and the quantity Of
coin inCreasCd-twO facts tending to produce
an equality Of value.
The influence Of these natural causes will
be COunteraCtod In some degree by the in-
croasing facility for the transfer Of money

quered hearts, regard splendid head Of
hair the most effective of all womanly
facinations. They believe, and they
are right, that they can lasso as many
beaux with the luxuriant ringlets and
glossy .braids as they can "kill at sight"

their "toilet talk" among themselves
