SMALL FEEr.-For the sake of having
small feet, many an otherwise sensible woman
will martyrize herself by pinching those un.
lucky members of the body into boots size
too small. As natural and necessary result
of such pinching confinement, the foot be-
comes deformed, and larger than it would nat
urally grow, with enlarged joints, and toes
turned from line parallel with the foot to
say nothing of the troublesome corns, so an
noying and crippling to large class of young
women. The worst results Of this crippling
custom of wearing small and narrow boots is
felt by children, when allowed to outgrow
their boots. 1t is poor economy to allow the
young to wear boots when the feet have be.
come too large for them, since deformity Of
the feet is easily produced at this time. When
the boot is too short and the heel too high,
the ingrowing Of the nails is perfectly natu-
raj result. Children will have sufficient ills
to contend with without this crippling from
deformed feet, the most prominent cause Of
which is small and badly. fitting boots and
shoes.

SHEPHERDS IN JUDEA.

Shortly after leaving the city we met sew
eral focks of sheep, preceded by their shep.
herds, walking slowly toward Jerusalem, and
at once the full force of all the beautiful i'm
agery, and the many touching SMILES derived
from such scenes and associations, and 80 off,
en- alluded to in Scripture, came vividly be-
fore me- These Arab shepherds, clad in the
turbans and simple appass worn by their
class, and carrying a wooden crook in their
hands, walked in front. The sheep, which
are peculiar and very handsome breed, are
mostly low sized the fore parts of their bod
les of fawn color, the hinder parts white !;
they have long, pendent, silken ears and
sweeping tails; their faces more oval and
longer than the species in these countries, and
they have altogether more pleasing, docile
and mild expression of countenance. Not
one of them ventured before the shepherd,
but stopped or quickened their pace as he
did ; or if a young and froward creature
Jagged behind, or strayed to either side, sim
gle word from their leader, often very look,
brought it back and cheered its wanderings.
A few favorite lambs frisked about their mas
ter, rubbing themselves against bis legs and
garments.
After the sheep came some young goats
and lambs, and the whole procession closed
with about two dozen of old patriarchal.look.
ing goats, which brought up the rear. These
goats have long horns and pendent ears, that
hang almost to the ground, and their hair is
glossy back and of the finest grain The sheep
and goats were perfectly distinct. These
shepherds are often to be seen about sunset
slowly approaching the city from all sides, to
seek shelter for their focks during the night,
in some of the deep valleys by which it is SUI.
rounded, carrying the lambs in their bosoms.
1t is almost incredible, the influence that
the shepherds of Palestine possess over their
focks; many Of them have no dogs, but
word is often sufficient to make them under
stand and obey the will of their shepherd.
He sleeps among them at night, and in the
morning leads them forth to pasture, always
walking before them, guiding them to those
places where they can enjoy the best food,
and resting when he thinks they have obtain
ed sufhciency, or during the heat Of the day,
in some cool, shady place, where they all i'm
mediately lie down around him. He has gen.
erally two or three favorite lambs which do
not mix with the flock, but follow close at bis
side, frisking and fondling about him like
dogs indeed the degree of intelligence and
understanding that exists between the Arab
and his flock is truly astonishing. "They
know his voice, and follow him." and "he
careth for the sheep" 1t was, probably, to
such shepherds as these that the angel an.
nouuced the glad tidings of the saviour's

Southern CHIYALRY.

The Rev. W. T. Capers, in an anniversary
address to the Georgetown Rife Guards, de.
livered recently, narrated the following anec.
dotes illustrative of Southern chivalry:
A desperate charge upon our works had
been repulsed. Many wounded and dying
lay between the Confederate and Northern
lines. Their grosns and cries for water were
distinctly heard. The enemy we're firing up
on Us. A soldier begged his General to per.
NIT him to carry water to the suffering. Els
request was denied. A good brave mans
life ought not to be sacrificed. He would be
killed before he could reach the objects Of
bis pity. Again he begged permission to 90.
He could not stand the appeal to his heart.
Live or die, he felt that he must 60 to their
relief: Kershaw consented. he hung around
his neck as many canteens as he could carry,
sprang over the breastworks, and advanced
through shot and shell toward the wounded.
He reached sufferer. The enemy saw him
supporting the head of his foe, and giving
him drink.-"Ihey ceased firing P-On both
sides the men looked on in admiration, until
tremendous cheering rose from the Northern
lines. The South responded. The "touch of
nature that makes the whole world kin" the
sentiment of human brotherhood, triumphed
over all other feelings, and for time a real
union prevailed. The sudden ceasing Of firing
so surprised General Lee that he sent cou-
rier 10 ask the cause of it. After that, when
the pickets approached each other the North
ern riaemen would not pull trigger until as.
sured, that the grey;jacketed "good Samar.
itan" was not before them. A similar deed
of noble daring was performed BY private
Of Colonel Gary's regiment. William Thom-
as, private and Christian minister, seeing
wounded man suffering alone in very ex-
posed position, obtained permission to go to
him, passed through CALLING fire, reached
the dying man, lifted his head, gave him wa
ter, and kneeling by his side, assisted his de-
parting soul to ascend to heaven on the wing
of fervent prayer, and then returned in safe
ty to bis post. The next day Gary promoted
him to the chaplaincy for 'gallantry on the
field of BATTLE"

LOCALITY FOR ORCHARDs.-In almost all
cases, it is the universal experience, that Or
chards are more certain to do we'll where the
spot chosen is somewhat higher than the sur
rounding land. Often enough the fruit will
be killed by spring frost, when those on land
fifty feet higher will escape. The cold air al
ways sinks, and if there is any low spot for it
to sink in, the higher of course escapes Often
trees on river banks escape when others are
injured, and people think it is the contiguity
to water, when it is really the elevation-the
cooler air being drawn to the river bed.

mo USE For 'EM."-At the meeting Of
the Sazerac Lying Club recently, the medical
member, when it came his turn to spout, de-
livered himself of the following, which,
whether it be original or not, is worthy Of
publication:
Once when was practisin' over in Sierra
county, Californy, feller got caved on BY
bank, and got his skull fractured clean out Of
shape. They picked him up and brung him
to me, and I made diagnosis of his case,
and found that his brain, which was exposed,
was full of dirt and rock. There wasn't
nothin' to do but to take it out and clean it;
the idea of man goin' around with the as.
ton of his brain bein' intsrfered with By
three or four pounds of clay and gravel was
clean out Of question, and set too much
store by my medical reputation to consent to
any such doins. I took out the brain and put
it in tin pan, and while was washin' of it
the patient seed feller across the street what
he had some bizness with, and went over to
have talk with him. He forgot to come
back after his brains, and I didn't see him
again for two months, when one day, bein' in
the jinin' county, I seed him. 1 hailed him
and told him them thar brains was up at my
Office, and if he wanted 'em he'd better come
and git 'em.
"Don't want 'em," said he.
"Why notf said I.
oval, you see," said he, "I'm runnin' for
Office now, and I don't need 'em got no use
in the world for 'eln fact is, they'd be an in
cumbrance under the circumstances"
