ANA TONl OF THE FOOT.

A Swiss philosopher has taken up a
subject which has too long been neglect
ed by the manufacturers of boots and
shoes, viz the anatomical necessities
of the foot for better support. Many a
sufferer from corns, bunions, and all the
ills that toes are heir to can trace his
sorrows to careless and inhuman
bootmaker. 1t is the rarest thing i'll
the world to get perfectly fitting boot
one which, on first acquaintance, does
not tear the skin off the tender portion
OF the.heel, create ulcers upon the in
step, or so compress the nail of the big
toe as to render disease probable re-
suit In measuring foot, says wise
man, the first thing to be considered is
the place of the great toe. Upon this
toe the whole weight of the body turns
at every step in natural foot. 1t is,
therefore, in straight line with the
heel. A central line drawn from the
point of the great toe to the middle of
it's root would pass exactly to the mid
die of the heel. Very few persons can
boast of big toe which does not, from
the unslilled making of a stupid boot
maker, or a series of the same, turn in
ward. No last or model of foot so
misshapen should ever be made the ex-
act size Ct such foot. There are many
sufferers, who in their agony have
heaped upon the whole boot-making
fraternity shower of interjections,
who will hail this addition to the sci
ence of comfort with feelings of JOY and
gladness.

MESN ERIZING A BULL

The power of the human eye as eXer-
cised by woman over man is doubtless IL
resistible, but when a man imagines
that his own eye can exert the same in
tiuence over the lower creation, and
that lie has only to gaze tixedly on a
wild beast to subdue its ferocity, he oc-
casionally miscalculates his chances.
Thus, a professor in Vermont, who was
a firm believer in the power of the hu-
man eye, realized the truth of the doc
trine to his sorrow. Determined to con-
vince the skeptics of its truth, he Sc
lected a ferocious bull, who was the
terror of the neighborhood, rs the OBJ
iect of his experiment The result was
not altogether successful. Surrounded
by retinue of disbelievers, the scien,
tifc gentleman sauntered into the pas
ture where the thoughtful bull was
peacefully grazing. He fivoa upon the
bull his eagle eye l"' the bull qnailed
not neith,- nd it retire in melodramatic
or,,4, but the last thing seen of that
professor was his archaeological form
tossed twenty-seven feet into the air
and coming down on the other side of
the fence. His physical injuries were
slight, but his faith in scientific mes
merism as illustrated in bulls has been
greatly weakened.

SQEA W TAKES the SCALP or A
BRA We.
From the Sioux City Journal

lFIoiil lHe SIOuN tlty JOurnaI.
By passengers from Yankton last
evening we have lateradvices of the fight
between the Sioux and Poncas at Ponca
Agency. There was no cessation of hos
tilities up to yesterday morning, and the
prospect was that the fight would con-
tinue until the arrival of the military,
which is now en- route from Randall, the
nearest post, to the scene of conflict.
The Sioux number about 200 warriors,
while the Poncas can muster only about
50 braves, but the discrepancy is some
what balanced by the Poncas being in
trenched in their agency buildings.
There are conflicting reports concerning
the number killed, but the lowest esti-
mate places the number at twenty.
We hear of one instance of the fight
which is worthy of mention. A Sioux
brave had gained the shelter of one of
the buildings, from which position he
was enabled to fire at his foes from
short range. While he was standing
just at the corner of the building load
ing his gun, a Ponca squaw rushed
from the house, and, before the Sioux
could defend himself, gave him slash
ing cut across the abdomen with huge
knife, literally disemboweling him. As
she struck him, the Sioux involuntarily
bent forward, clasping his abdomen
with both hands, and just at that in
slant the squaw grabbed him by the
hair, and, with savage stroke of the
knife, scalped him. Shaking her CORY
trophy aloft, and giving shrill cry OF
defiance, she darted back into the build
ing in safety, followed by dozen rifle.
balls from as many Sioux, who from a
distance saw the result of the sortie.
The effect was perfectly maddenine
upon the Sioux, to have one of thei1
warriors scalped by squaw was a dis.
grace which could only be wiped out by
the blood of tho entire accursed band OF
Poncas. They rushed for the buildings,
but were met by a fire which laid sew.
eral of them low, and so cooled the
ardor of the rest that they retired to a
safe distance, without having injured
their foes. The act of the squaw
seemed to inspire the Poncas, and
Haunting from window the scalp of the
unfortunate Sioux, they uttered yells OF
derision and contempt which nearly
drove the Sioux frantic. Further intel
ligence from the scene of conflict is
| awaited with anxiety.

ELEGI ON A BROTHER.
BY THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.

Somewhere In the graveyard that know,
here the Strawberries under the chestnuts grow
They have laid him and his sisters set
his grave the flowers their tears have wet;
And above his grave, while write, the song
OF the matin robin leaps sweet and strong
From the Ieafy dark of the chestnut-trec;
And many murmuring honey-bee
the strawberry-blossom in the grass;
Stoops by his grave and will not pass;
And i'll the little hollow beneath
The slope of the silent field of death,
The cow-bells tinkie soft and sweet
Aud the cattle go by with nomeward feet,
And the squirrel barks from the shciteriEg limb,
AT the harmless noises not meant for him.
And Nature unto her LOVING heart
Has taken our dariug's mortal part
Tenderly, that he may be,
Like the song of the robin in the tree,
The blossoms, the grass, the reeds by the shore,
A part of Summer eyermore.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

1t appears that the people of Ger
many showed good deal more common
sense in regard to investing in the
bonds of the North Pacific railroad than
did the people of the United States. In
stead of Investing blindly, or taking the
statements of bond brokers without
question, they sent over some COM
missioners to examine the country
through which the road was to pass, and
generally to inquire into the prospects
and resources OF the company. One of
these commissioners Was Herr Haas,
Government Director Of Prussian
railways. This expert conducted very
thorough investigation. He examined
the charter of the road and the condi-
tions of the land grant; the country
along the proposed line the cost of con-
structing the road and equipping 1t;
the population of the States and Terri
tories through which the road was to
pass. He then estimated the probable
increase in inhabitants, the amount of
land that would be sold the traffic in
products along the line, and the trade
with China and the East Indies. Having
drawn his conclusions in regard to
these matters, he proposed these in
quiries "1st. Are the means provided

sums realized from the sale of lands
suffice to redeem the bonds within
thirty years?' He believed the pros
poets unfavorable to doing any OF these
things, and accordingly advised capi-
talists to let the bonds severely alone.

sales were made in Germany. 1t ap-

prevented the facts made known from
reaching the public, whom they wished
to take in. The report, however,
reached England, in the German Ian
guage, and prevented investments there
likewise. Singularly enough, the peo-
pie of this country were the last to be
acquainted with the true aspect of at
