We are accustomed to use our toes so
very little, that for all the practical pur
poses of life we might almos. as well be
without any. They were intended, in the
first place, to give fiexibility to tie foot
and to help US in walking; but the mod
ern custom of cramping them up in tight
shoes makes them almost as immovable
as if they grew together. So the help
they give US in walking is not so much
after all. And as for putting them to any
other Use, we never think of it. We
abuse them dreadfully sometimes; cramp
and torture them, and pinch them out OF
all likeness to their original shape, until
they would never be known for the pret
ty, perfect little baby toes that we like to
cuddle and count,and go to market with,
grown up. Who, for instance, would
ever imagine that the second toe is in
tended to be longer than the first? And
yet In perfect foot it always is, though
we are obliged to 90 to statues and paint
ings to find out. Aud who, putting a
foot and a modern narrow-toed shoe side
bs side. would ever suspect that they
were intended for each other? The fact
is, our toes are our most abused mem
bers, and so we don't Get half the good
from them that we might. Tile Chinese,

toes nearly as well as their hands. Arabs

Advice to Young Skaters.

Never try to skate in two directions
at once
Eat e few apples for refreshments
sake, while skating, g,and be sure to throw
the cores on the ice for fast skaters to
break their shins on.
There is no law to prevent beginner
from sitting down whenever he is so in
clined.
Skate over all the small boys at once
Knock 'em down It makes great fun,
and they like it.
If you skate into hole in the ice take
it coolly. Think how you would feel il
the water were boiling hot.
If your skates are too slippery buy q
new pair Keep buying new pairs until
you find pair that is not slippery.
In sitting down do it gradually. Don't
be too sudden; you may break the ice
When you fall headlong examine the
straps of your skates very carefully be
fore you get mp That will make every
body think you fell because your skate
was loose.
Wear heavy overcoat or cloak unti
you get thoroughly warmed up, then
throw it off, and let the wind cool you
This will insure You fine cold!
After you get SO you can skate tolera
bly, well, skatesthree or four hours-skate
frantically-skate till you can't stand.

Terrible Death of a Fisherman.

From the San Diego California; World.I
We were recently put into possession
of the details of the death of China
man on the Coronades, that eclipse in
horror the death scene described by Vic
tor Hugo in his '.Toilers Of the Sea- in
which devil fish is introduced with
graphic power Our readers kno y thai
the abalone meat is priced delicacy of
the Chinaman, and that the shell of the
abalone, when properly polished, is one
of the most fanciful and beautiful things
in nature. The abalones are generally
sought lower down the coast, but are also
foand in the neishhorhoods OF San Bssts
go Day before yesterday Fung Choa,a
professional fisherman. residing near
Rosevile, Known among Americans by
the nickname Of "Chowder," started out
to the Coronades in his boat to hunt for
abalores. Of course his movements can
only be surmised by the event The sup
position Is that he moored his boat and
began his quest The Coronades are
quite abrupt in their formation, precipit-
Gus, but occasionally broken. "Chow-
der' saw an enormous abalone in cleft
of the rock, in place covered with wa
ter when the tide was in, and, throwing
himself on his stomach,he dropped over
the ledge to wrench the delicacy from its
fastness. Abalones are univalvutar, and
if, iu detaching one from the rock, to
which it can fix itself almost immovably,
one happens not to wrench it loose at
once it often closes its single shell on
the rock, ,prisoning the spelling hand and
causing inexpressible agony. This was
poor Chowder's fate. AS his evil star
would have it, the abalone was unusually
large, and the poor Chinaman, unable to
release himself, must have early realized
that he was doomed From his position.
leaning over the rock, he could not brace
himself or obtain any leverage from
which, at the sacrifice of the hand, if
need be. he could free himself. We. can
imagine the agony suffered by the poor
wretch as he waited for hours the rising
of the tide which should end his misery
by death The actual pain endured must
have been unspeakabIe, and no help was
nearer thon eighteen miles We can
conceive of nothing so horrible as such
situation, except the ancient Persian
punishment of the "boat," described mi
nutely by Plutarch, in which the victim
was thrown to the ground, boat was
turned upside down over him and staked,
and his face was smaared with honey to
attract the insects There he was left to
die. The poor Chinaman's plight was
almost as bad as this /; but happily the re-
turning tide prevented the torment from
being as lasting. The inexorable waters,
however, shortly did their work. There
came a time when the poor Chinaman
eoula strain 30 longer, agsszwkea the br.,
nv food sucked from his lungs the breath
of life. When Chowder's body was dis
covered by brother Celestial, his dead
hand was still clutched in the remorseless
grasp of the abalone which had so terri
bly, avenged the invasion of his rocky
home. The agony the poor fellow had
endured was imprinted on his face.

A Glorious Sentiment.

My neighbor tells me there is no
death; that, when we die, it is our birth
into another realm-a realm of purity
and indescrihable beauty a realm where
the light is marvellous in its brilliancy,
where the stars never set, and where we
recognize one another, and live forever
and ever! He says the better we are
when this birth, (not death, takes place,
the higher accordingly we shall be raised
in the blessed sphere we enter. My
neighbor is right, and his doctrine,
though not new, will bear repeating but
unfortunately, how few Of us ever think
of it in our race for gold, glory and
fame in this world of chance and change
"Oh! let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse its senses and awake
To see how soon
Life, in its glc-ies, glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay,
Come steuling on"
F. w. OLIVER.
