PEpgSTRIANIC PECULIARITIEs.

No two of us walk alike. The hing /
IS of our gates turn the same, but with /
different results.
The baby strikes a tVddle because it !
hasn't strength enough to walk, but 1t
has the underlying principal OF natur-
al walk, because, it toes in. Toe
ing OUT is a military article, invented
for the express purpose of showing how
much more men know than the LORD
did
The hippity hOppity skip and jump is
peculiarly the little girls gait. Uneasy
and restless the hutteT, budget seems de-
termined to wear the sole of her shoe
and the soul Of her mother out ut the
same time but she is the prettiest pic
ture of animation humanity can show.
The dead run all out OF breath is the
small boy IS gait. NOu can set down the
boy who so far forgets himself as 10 walk
as already in his dotage. Very old.
The square heel and toe is the gait af-
fected by professional peds on the saw
dust track, but it IS growing absOlete,
thank our lucky stars.
The bound to have it gait is a rapid
straight forward stride, never turning
10 the right or left. The man who has
it knocks over children, barks his shins
against market baskets, and stubs his
but he gets there, - and his coat tail
arrives about two minutes later.
There is a slow measured gait, tread,
tread, tread, all the day long. The man
who carries the hOd has this popularity
down fine. lie would 90 to a fire in the
same step. and get there-pOssibly.
The long lOpe, thirty-fOuT inches to
the step, with a sag of the knee joint
and a vigorous swing Of the arms, is
that of a young man from RuraldOm.
He gets the walk from going over rough
ground and anybody that gets the best
of him has rough ground to go over.
The quick, sharp and spiteful gait
with the little metallic heels ringing on
the pavement is the gait of the smart
Young Miss with bright blue eyes and
lots of vivacity. The young man who
intends to keep company with her FOR
life must make up his mind to train to
her step. She never will train to his.
The every day business gait. Gcing
right along with your feet, and your
thoughts in the office, store, shop Oh
wherever it is. You never know how
far the walk is. nor how long it takes
YOU to cover it. It is indefinite and fire.

fat, rheumatic and gOuty and in latel
years walks with two canes and tremU

The dinner gait, before and after din

So entirely in opposition.
The slow gait. For further particu
