FOOTBALLS.

Day after day our footballs are
sounding down the halls Of time.
Day after day, the echoes float
through the upper air, until they
reach the throne Of God.
Our paths, through life, lie not
in parallel with those Of our fellow
beings. Our footsteps lead us, now
in one direction aud now in anoth-
err; and we cross and recross the
paths OF others. Our footballs
sound through their lives and
theirs through ours.
Listen to the echoes Of your own
footsteps and judge how much nu-
sic they have carried into the lives
Of others. o, the restless ocean
Of feet which are hurrying hither
and thither year after year and
each echo so seperate that one can
always distinguish his own steps.
How often have we stumbled p
How often have we walked rough
ly across the paths Of othersl
FOOTBALLS many Of them are mu-
sic in our ears ; we listen for them
and their coming brings US happi-
ness.
But amidst our Joy one football
approaches at whose sound we
turn pale with terror and draw our
loved ones closer to our side. The
step Of Death draws very near but
it passes on; it crosses the pathes
Of others, but thank God, our
darlings are safe. AS we listen to
the echoes dying away in the dis
lance, unconsciousIy we tread soft
er in our daily walks, but the
dreaded step returns and this time
it crosses our path, and one foot
fall we love, is silent. Only the
echo remains, and happy for us, if
the heart is pure enough to follow
that echo until it mingles with
the footballs Of the loved one in
distant Paradise.

especially here in America, are
worse nowadays than a century
ago, Notwithstanding the boosted
advance in knowledge Of pbysio-
1ogy and esthetics. But why are
not the toes Of fashion decent :
Does not fashion always endeavor
to improve on nature and make it
more beautiful Yes; but fashion
Is the offspring OF ignorance, and
ignorance always goes wrong. The
study of principles under the meth
cd Of science will induce the con-
scientious to make many changes,
but such changes are not fashions /;
they are generally Improvements,
not deteriorations. Manufacturers
are just as ready to make health
ful boots and shoes as unhealthful
ones, If the people will only buy
them. But retail dealers are not
quite liberal enough in ordering a
supply Of "odd" kinds for the
"whims Of crackedbrained heath re-
formers" There are manufactures
in New York city which we know,
that turn out the kinds OF shoes
demanded by common sense and
comfort. II would be TO the inter
est Of the retail dealer to find them
out and patronize them TO some ex-
tent. The dress Of the feet has a
great deal to do not only with hu-
man health but beauty as well, in
the eyes Of the most fastidious.
The present attempt TO render the
form Of the feet beautiful by de-
forming them is nearly always at
tended with corns, bunions, and
distortions which disgust their
owners. Many persons indeed
have never seen a really beautiful
foot, and therefore do not know
what 10 aim ak.

Longevity Of Veterans Of 1912.

The extraordinary longevity of
the survivors OF the war Of 1912 is
certainly curious fact well
worthy Of notice. That was not q
great war, not many troops were
engaged, and no very large force
was mustasd into the service OF
the United States, and the war
came to an end nearly sixty-one
years ago. Yet the Commissioner
Of Pensions reports 1875 survi-
vors of that war on the rolls of
the pension Office. Very few, in
deed, Of these can be less than
eighty years Of age, and the num-
Der must be nearly, If not quite,
ten per cent. of the whole force
mustered for service. II the vet
Grams Of the late war Of the rebel
lion prove so tenacious Of life,
nearly two hundred thousand of
them will survive in the year 1926.
We should be very glad to believe
that all Of them will live much
longer than that, but we cannot
expect It, for II is against the
course Of nature. 1t is hard to
resist the conviction that q large
share Of the fifteen thousand vete-
rams Of 1912 are impostors.
