Locomotives have been successfully
employed in France for the purpose OF
towing canal boats. They are small.
not weighing over tour or five tons, and
run on a track laid down about four
feet from the edge of the canal. drawing
the boats 10 4 cable some three hundred
feet in length. The speed attainable
without injury 10 boat or canal is at
least twice and probably three times as
great as that furnished by horse power !;
and only one man is needed to manage
the engine. There is reason to believe
that towing locomotives will ultimately
come into regular use OH some of the
chief canals in France.

CARE OF IHE FEET.-Many OF the
colds so prevalent at this season COM
mence at the feet, therefore to keep
these extremities warm is to effect an
insurance against the almost intermina-
HE list of disorders which spring out
of "a slight cold" First, never be
tightly shod. Boots or shoes. when
they fit too closely, press against the
foot so as TO prevent the free cireula-
tion of the blood. When, on the con-
trary. they fit comparatively loosely,
the blood has free course, ana tue
spaces left between the leather and the
stocking become filled with comfort
able supply of warm air. The second
rule is never sit in damp shoes. 1t Is
often imagined that unless they are
positiyely wet it is not necessary TO
change them. This-is fallacy, for when
the least dampness is absorbed into the
sole il is attracted to the foot by its
warmth, and thus the perspiration Is
dangerously checked. Any person can
prove this by trying the experiment oil
neglecting this rule, The feet will be-
come cold and damp very shortly, al
though on taking of tile shoes and
warming them they will appear quite
drc.
