Tight Shoes.

The wearing of shoes which compress
and distort the feet is sigularly injur
lous custom. Suppose l said that nine
tenths of the feet were rendered mis-
shapen by the boots and shoes worn, the
statement would seem extreme, but it
would be within the truth. The pointed
shoe or boot is the most signal instance
of a mischievous instrument designed for
great toe is forced out of its natural
line toward the other toes, giving
a reverse curve from what is natural to
the terminal part Of the inner side of the
foot, while all the other toes are COM
pressed together toward the great toe,
the whole producing wedge-like form
of foot which is altogether apart from
the natural. Such foot has lost its ex-
panse of tread; such . foot has lost its
elastic resistance; such q foot has lost
the strength of its arch to q very cOnsid-
cradle degree; such foot, by the irregl-
lar and unusual pressure on certain
points of its surface, has become hard at
those points, and is easily affected with
corns and bunions. Lastly, such foot
becomes badly nourished, and the pres
sure exerted upon it interferes with its
circulation and nutrition. 1t ceases to
be an instrument upon which the body
can sustain itself with grace and with
easiness of movement, even i'll early life;
while in mature life and in old age it be-
comes foot which is absolutely unsafe,
and which causes much of that irregular,
hobbling tread which often renders so
peculiar the gait of persons who have
passed their meridian.
1t sometimes happens for time that
these mistakes In regard to the boot and
shoe are increased by the plan of raising
the heel, and letting it rest on a raised
impediment of pointed shape. Any
thing more barbarous can scarcely be
conceived BY this means the body,
which should naturally he balanced ON q
most beautiful arch, is placed on an in.
cline plane, and is only prevented from
falling forward by the action of the mus
cles which counterbalance the mechani-
cal error. But all this is at the expense
Of lost muscular effort along the whole
line of the muscular track, from the heels
actually to the back of the head-a loss
of force which is absolutely useless, and,
as l have known in several cases, ex-
hausting and painful. In addition to
these evils arising from the pointed
heeled boot. there are yet two more. In
the first place, the elastic spring Of the
arch being broken by the heel, the
vibration produced by its contract with
the earth at every step causes a concus-
sion which extends along the whole of
the spinal column, and is sometimes very
acutely felt. In the second place, the
expanse of the foot being limited, the
seizure of the earth by the foot is incom-
plete both in standing and in walking, 90
that It becomes q new art to learn how
to stand erect or to walk with safety

NOT ESTIMATES BUT CASH RE-
TURNS.
In the year 1868, the Equitable Life AS
surance Society of New York introduced
its tontine system of assurance.
The company at the beginning predicted
remarkable future rcsults based on careful
estimate.
Settlements are now being made with
The holders of tontine policies, which show
that the actual cash returns bear out the
estimates The following are illustrations
Policy No. 1868, issued May 25th, 1869,
ON the life of resident of Pennington,
Connecticut, was for $4,000, and the an
nual premium amounted to SjOS6O. The
total premiums paid during the tontne
term, eleven years, amounted to Sj,50460.
The policy holder has decided to terminate
the contract, and draws in cash the surren.
der value of the policy, $6,455,sO, having
had $4,000 of assurance for eleven years,
In the following illustration instead Of
drawing the cash, as in the case above, the
policy holder has determined to continue
the assurance.
Policy No. 50,526, issued January S;h,
1870, on the life of resident Of New York
City, is for $4,000. The annual premium
is $5431O. The total premiums paid dur
ing the entire period (ten years. amounts to
$5,43l 90.
On the Sth day of January, 1880, the
policy holder had the privilege Of terminal
ing the contract and withdrawing $4,000
cash, or of taking paid-up policy for
$3.50. He decided, however, to continue
the assurance by converting the surplus
credited to his policy, into an annuity to be
used to reduce his future premiums. On
this basis he will pay in 1881 net prem
ium of only Sl4l.04, reduction Of "a per
cent. Subsequent premiums may be even
less than this.
