Compression Of the Fest.

Al practice so common that it may be
safely said that there is soarcelya nor
mal-shaped foot to be found among
civilized beings. Although this COM
preston isnot in Europe and America
carried to the extent Of stopping all
growth of the feet at very tenderage,as
among sore classes Of the Chinese, yet
the natural growth is SO much impeded
by the idiotic fancy of most parents to
incase their childsen's feet in snug
boots, that generally before child is
six years old the toes are more or less
deformed. Usually the growth Of the
little toes is, entirely suspended as early
o. twelve Or thirteen years Of age.
while all are pressed together and over
Tapped, and the great toe, instead of
continuing. on Line with the side of
the foot, turns to the center at an angle
of from thirty to thirty-fve. degrees.
To whatever extent the compression
is carried. just to that degree is the cir
culation ;nterferred with, causing the
blood to flow less and less freely, and
in decreasing quantity, causing not
only discomfort from cold feet, but
strong tendency to consumption is in
duced. The interference with the
capillary circulation of the feet is also
one of the most common canses OF
catarrL--a fact not generally known.-

Sc Though the Earth be ReanOved. -

The traveller Humboldt gives an in
teresting account of the first earth
quake he witnessed. It was at Cuma-
ma, in South America The first shock
came after a strange stiffness. 1t
caused an earthquake in his mind, for
it overthrow in o moment all his life
long notions about the safety of the
earth. He could no longer trust the
soil which up to that day had felt so
firm under his feet. He had only one
thought-universal, boundless destruc'
ton. Even the crocodiles ran from the
river Orinoco, bowling into the woods,
and the dogs and pigs were powerless
with fear. The whole city seemed the
hearth of destruction" The houses
could not shelter, for they were falling
in ruins He turned to the trees, but
they were overthrown. His next
thought was to run to the mountains,
but they were Keeling like drunken men,
He then looked toward the sea. Lo! it
it had fled; and the ships, which few
minutes before were in deep water,
were rocking on the bare sand. He
tells us, that being at his wits end, he
looked up and observed that heaven
alone was calm and mistaken. Many
strange things are yet to come upon the
world-earthquakes, overturnings, up
heavings. But amid them all, the Book
tells us, the Christian shall look up. to
the heavenly one, Jesus Christ, the
same yesterday, and to-day, and forev-
er," and to his heavenly home, which
cannot be moved.

y a,.uing to Newspaper Shoppers.

A certain man got mad at the editor
and stopped his paper. The next week
he sold all his corn at four cents below
the market price; then his property was
sold for taxes because he only heard OF
the convention three days after it had
adjourned; he lost ten dollars betting
on Mollie Mccarthy two days after Ten
Brock had won the race; he was arrest
ed and fined eight dollars for gong
hurting on Sunday; and he paid three
hundred dollars for lot of forged notes
that had been advertised two weeks,
and the public cautioned not to nego-
tate them. He then paid a big Irish
man, with leg like derrick, to kick
him all the way to the newspaper oihce'
when he paid four years subscription In
advance. and made the editor sign and
swear to an agreement to knock him
down and rob him if he ever ordered

Stock IN Colorado.

In regard to the weather and condi-
ton of stock in Colorado, the Las IN
mas Leader has the following, which
will DO of interest: The snow contin-
ues on the ground with no sign of Civ
ing away. It's depth is about five inch
es, and pretty well packed. It is re-
ported to be twelve to fifteen inches
along the divide. Losses Of sheep in
that region will, doubtless, DO consider
able, though no definite idea Of their
extent is obtainable ut present. This
We learn from Mr.. Keynon, Of Colorado
Springs. The snow is in every direc-
ton, extending 300 miles south. The
Rio Grande is frozen over ct Albu-
querque. 1t is thought there can not
be much improvement under two weeks.
Cattle on the south side Of the river, on
the water-courses, and among the ce-
dars, are doing fairly, but the immense
herds from the north, congregated on
the north side, are suffering bitterly.
They have mostly disappeared from the
plains opposite this place, having moved
eastward-lowing piteously as they
went. 1t is estimated by Mr.. Hopkins.
of Granada, that 10000 head have
crossed the Kansas line, and are now
between Syracuse and Lakin. Should
they get ON the burnt district lying
south of that there will b.. immense
losses from starvation. The river is
still frozen solid, and would afford them
easy crossing. Measures should GER
tainly be taken to turn them back.
Sam. T. Smith reports cattle doing
well in the eanons Of the Pnrgatoirs
and other streams south. On the hill
sides facing the south, there is but little
snow, and stock find feed in abundance.
On the level plains, north of the Ar
kansas, the case is quite different.
There is very little exposed surface, and
cattle are wandering about for feOd and
finding but little. They have begun
crossing the river at various points

The Lottery Ticket.

An italian gentlemen with o nice lit
tie income had q nice little servant girl,
who said to him one morning, 30, if
you please, won't you give me 8 francs
to buy lottery ticket with? I dream
ed last night that No. liza was going
to draw the capital prize, and I want to
buy that number"
He gave the girl 8 francs, and, next
day, on happening to look at the re-
port Of the drawing, saw that No. A.
LA had drawn the capital prize of 518,-
652.S5 lire, Or, to speak moro accurate
ly, 100000.
Returning quietly to the house he
conc called his emotion and said to the
servant girl, ''Susan, I have long OBJ
served with appreciation your piety,
beauty, modesty, skill in the art of
cookery, and other good qualities cal
culated to adorn the highest station.
Be mine. Let me lead you to the
hymeneal altar. No delay. Just as
you are"
Honest Iniun?" said the blushing
virgin.
"You bet. I swear by yonder silver
spoon that tips with beauty all the fruit
pie top
"Then count me in, and regard rae
hereafter in the light Of your turale
dove"
Hasten, then, Susan; put on your
bonnet and shawl, and let us take
walk around the block to the only friar's
cell, where we shall be made one"
In few minutes the bride-eleca re-
turned clad in red, red shawl, with a
black velvet bonnet trimmed with sun
flowers and Victoria regia. In few
minutes more the ceremony had been
performed, and the twain were one.
They returned to- the house, where the
husband carelessly took mp the paper,
and said with q well-counterfehed start
of surprise.
Darling, everything is bright for us
upon our wedding-day. Yen remem-
Der the ticket in the lottery that you
dreamed about and / gave you 3 francs
to buy? Where is it, my ownest?'
ooh! / didn't buy it. j. spent the
money for this duck of bonnet"

A WOMAN Just coming from market
boarded crowded street car recently,
and had to stand up. She was chewing
raspberries when a snecze struck her
like a streak of lightning, and she vo-
ciferated cachoo, cachoo!- When
she cachooed tablespoonful of mashed
raspberries lit on the scalp Of a bald
headed man who had taken of his hat

ing to the crowd he asked; "Are we
men?' "Yes," replied Limerick and
several other boys. ~Then Let III save
this housed" He rushed in, upset a
large hower'stand, breaking the pots
and plants on it, threw a bootjack thro'
the window, and then, getting hold of
the edge of the parlor carpet, tore quite
hole in it. Then he started to ascend
to the upper story. The stairs were
narrow, winding, and pitch dark. He
had got about half way up when some
one threw feather bed over the balus-
tiers; it came down on his head, and he
rolled with it to the foot of the stairs,
where Mr.. Gallagher, who had Just bro
ken the door from its hinges, grabbed
the bed and man and threw them out in
the front yard. Then James assembled
to the roof, and found that the fire was
under control and the men coming down
the ladder. He started to descend the
ladder, and about half way down met
Limerick, who had kettle of hot water,
which he insisted that Mr.. Gallagher
should take, though he was informed
that it was not needed. To oblige him,
Mr.. Gallagher took the kettle, but the
handle was so hot that he Immediately
dropped it. There were several persons
beneath the ladder, and though they
stood from under with promptitude and
profane observations, scarcely any one
failed to get few drops from it. One
man thought that it was done on pur-
pose, and had to be held while the facts
we're explained to him. Scarcely had
this row been settled, when Mr.. Plug
came up and accused James of trying to
smother him in the feather bed. James,
of course, denied it. At one time fight
seemed imminent, but they were final
ly taken home by friends, and the next
day the man who owned the house and
calf sued them for damages.-St. Al

ellie. A flock of wild sheep is about the
most Improbable investment that
farmer can make. They are continually
getting themselves into some trouble,
and causing great annoyance il not loss
to their owner. We have seen some
Aockmen jump into flock, and pull
and haul the sheep by the wool until
the animals were not only have fright
ened to death, but suffered great injury
otherwise. A sheep should never be
caught or lifted by the wool. Some
one has said that if any one doubts the
improperly of lifting a sheep by the
wool, just let him permit himself to be
lifted by the hair, and it is good sug-
gestion. When sheep are thus caught
or lifted the skin, in some instances, is
actually torn from the flesh, and If the
injury is not to that extent, it can net
but affect the flesh to some degree. A
sheep should be lifted by placing the
arms around the body and near the
fore-legs. This is the easiest way to do,
especially with large sheep. To catch
the animal, the hands should be thrown
about the neck, or else the sheep should
be caught by the hind leg Immediately
above the hook. This latter may be
done with the hand or the crook, and
when this way is adopted, the utmost
gentleness should be observed, and the
sheep gently drawn back until the other
hand can reach the neck. It is scarcely
necessary to remind tho keeper that
when the crook is used upon o sheep
which is closely surrounded by other
sheep, that great care must be exercised
lest the other sheep jump against the
one caught or against the crook, in
which case severe damage may be done.

HOic to Behave at q Fire.

Near the burning building stood barn
which seemed likely to go. In that barn
was calf, and Mr.. Plug determined to
rescue the animal, or perish in the at
tempt. He rushed in and seized the
calf by the tail, and, as it was fastened
by a halter it would probably have been
strangled by Plug in his efforts to get 1t
out If some one hadn't cut the rope. AS
1t was, he dragged the creature out,
using its tail for handle, and threw 1t
over the fence into the street: then
jumping over after it, he hauled it to
the opposite fence, and was about to
throw it over, when Mr.. Gallagher, who
had recovered his breath and got posses
