A Tale Of California.

Three years ago business called me TO
California. Reaching the end OF the
Pacific railroad not quite finished, |
PURCHASED horse, and fully arming
myself with pistols and bowie knife,
resumed my journey.
At the close of the second day, as /
rode slowly up one of the deep canons
of that country, just as the rays of the
setting sun were gliding the tops of the
tall trees on either side Of the narrow
buffalo trail, was aroused aud startled
by piercing screams-evidently q wo-
man voice-from q neighboring thicket;
putting spurs TO my horse and quickly
forcing my way through the thick
underbrush, l beheld a young lady
struggling in the arms Of two
burly ruhians. Drawing and cooking
my Listols as galloped toward
them, | aimed at the largest villain and
pulled the trigger He fell, pierced to
the brain, while second shot served the
other in the same way. Leaping from
my horse, | found the maiden lying in
sensible an ths green sTard. Lifting
her teHderly in my arms, bore her TO
the banks of mountain brook. near by,
and, bathing her pale forehead with the
cool water, sought to restore her to con-
Sciousness. But all in vain. tLce heart
had ceased 70 beat: ID ..aose eyes remained
clssed, lie long dark lashes sweeping
the pale cheeks; the ears failed to hear
the accents Of my voice by which l had
tried to arouse her. At last, in despers
tion, ! leaned over and shouted in her
ear: HH
Your back hair is coming down."
The effect was magical. Starting to
her feet, she wildly clutched her head,
and then-her face suffused with bushes
threw herself into my arms.
A vine-clad cottage, nestled in one of
he cool valleys of California, now shields
ny lovely wife from all dangers and
alarms,

Torturing one Human Eoot.

Science, in the comprehensive range
of subjects, has at last condescended to
direct attention to promoting the COM
| fort of the human foot, to pointing out
the deformities of the shoes we wear.
Mechanical ingenuity has exhausted
| itself in the construction Of machines
which turn out shoes automatically,
their sole object being rapidity Of pro-
duction after rigid models, to which the
foot is compelled, by painful expert
ence, to conform itself, corns and bun
ions TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
| Civilized communities wear the worst
fitting shoes, and suffer the most from
them. The Indian undergoes no suffer-
| ing from his loosely made moccasins,
nor does the Oriental cultivate corns in
his sandal. But the hard, rigid, tight
fitting shoe Of the European-Ameriean
has, from time iwmeworial, held its
place as an instrument OF torture. fet,
when compared with the shoes in use a
century ago, those of modern manufso-
ture, when made by hand, do give evil
dence Of some amelioration, though the
best of them are still deficient in
what the comfort Of the foot
requires. DR.. Hermann Meyer, a
Swiss philosopher Of the humani-
tartan school, has taken the
subject in hand, and presents sotae con-
siderations deserving attention from in
telligent men at the head of great Amer
lean shoe factories. He denounces the
workman who produces shoe that will
pinch, and demands the production Of
one which will afford to foot, distorted
by the pinchinG it has already under.
gone, fair chance of returning to its
proper shape, and the full possession Of
its power for carrying the body forward.
He places great emphasis on the proper
accommodation of the great toe, alleging
that it is of prime importance to keep it
free from all construction or distortion.
Upon this toe, in walking, the weight of
the whole body turns at every step in
natural foot; therefore, in such foot il
is in straight line with the heel. The
Doctor ascertains that a central straight
line drawn from the point Of the great
toe to the middle of its root, If continued,
would pass very exactly to the middle of
the heel But our modern mlshtting
shoes destroy this natural anatomical
arrangement so distorting it as to force
the point Of the toe inward and the root
outward. No shoe, for foot already in
iured By wearing such as are illhtting
or constructive, should ever be made of
the exact Size Of the injured foot.

Halls Journal of Health says that
cold bedchambers always imperil health
and invite fatal diseases. Robust per
sons may safely sleep in a temperature
of forty or under, but the old, the infant
and the frail should never sleep in q
room where the atmosphere is much
under fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
All know the danger Of going direct
into the cold from a very warm room:
Very few rooms, churches, theaters and
the like, are ever warmer than seventy
degrees. II il is freezing out Of doors II

forty degrees more. Persons will be

utes, although they may be actively

But 70 lie still in bed, nothing to pro
mote the circulation, aud breathe for
hours an atmosphere Of forty snd even
fifty degrees when the lungs are always
at nineiy-eight, is too great change.

Perhaps if Mr.. Clason had followed
precedent" In the code Of honor hG
wouldn't have been sent 10 Ludlow
street prison for contempt OF court and
things. VOLTA: The true mode Of the
duello is under discussion Just now, both
North and South. the Clason affair hav.
ing brought the subject freshly into
vogue.
Apropos Of this theme: A rare n ews
paper reader is he who has not read ol
or heard of the old sea captain, who when
challenged TO fight a duel, accepted, and
chose for the weapons harpoons, and APP
prised his antagonist that hia second
would be ready at six o'clock the next
morning to haul him in after he WAS
struck.
An equally authentic duelling anec-
dotc and of much later date than the
above, or even Marryatts triangular con-
test in Peter Simple is that Of former
member Of the State Legislature from St.
Lawrence County. He was called to
account, under the code, for gross
personality in a savage speech which ho
had made. He at iirst declined the car
tel for privileged words spoken in
debate He was made to see, however,
that this evasion was not admissible for
sanguinary purposes, and second de-
mand for satisfaction" was made hy
his antagonist, which was accepted.
Being the challenged party, he had the
choice of time, place, and weapons.
He selected, through his second, IL
o'clock the next day as the time; each
side Of the st. Lawrence at Ogdensburg,
where it is a mile wide, as the place, and
for the principals broadswords as the
weapons.
This is a ridiculous subterluge," re-
piled the belligerent challenger, and
you can't but know it; why don't you
choose gentleman weapon 2
What do you call gentleman

Why pistols, of course
" Very well; pistols be it, then. I'll
meet you at 6 O'clock tomorrow morn

from 0gdensburg. The parties to stand
back to back, march ten PAGES, turn face
TO face, and then fire"
The antagonists met, but when the ten
PAGES we're reached the cone was so
steep that each antagonist was out Of
sight The challenger retreated back
to the apex, and found The other far down
the hill
Come back, you dastardly sneak"

BIInkers ON nrldIe..

A correspondent in the New YorL
Commercial Advertiser says
Much has been said about cruelty "a
animals, but nothing about blinds "a
horses eyes. Do you know the origin
of the fashion, Mo- Then will tel
you. In 1902, when | was a boy, they
came into fashion in this wise: The
Duke of Kent the father Of Qneen Vic.
toria, was wofully in debt. Being a
Prince, he could not be sued at common
law, or arrested, but ribbon stretched
across the sidewalk must not be broken
by the debtor. SO bis creditors con
tented themselves by using this ribbon
TO compel him to take TO the street, or
90 back. So he had to travel in a coach
aud four. His Of leader got wall
eyed" The Duke could not buy another
team, and this white eye made the horse
unpleasant TO look upon. Here was a
fix, princely fix. Poverty and no credit
ruled the roost, and IL seemed that his
Royal Highnoss would have TO go on
foot, until one of his drivers bit upon
the blinker dodge, and so one was fitted
to his head. II completely hid the white
eye, and then blind was put on the
other horses TO make things even and
uniform. Our stages were once driven
through the country with four blinkers
on the horscs-i. g., one on the outside
of each head-stall-and that fashion
continued many years, or until one
horse wagons came in vogue, and then
two blinkers were placed on each head
stall.
Thus, because the Duke was too poor
to supply his carriage with sound horses,
or those having sound eyes, we to-day,
after seventy-one years experience, fol-
low the fashion set by him. The pro.
priety of these ornaments to the head
stall has never been questioned by any
one, not even by the sage committee on
Cruelty to Animals" 1t began in the
poverty Of the Duke of York, and of
course is legitimate from its princely
origin; and the old proverb, that 1t is
better to be out of the world than out Of
fashion" influences many, very many, OF
our citizens, to this day.
