WOIlsen's Shoes.

Take the most recent fashion Of shoes. The
heel of the human being projects outward, or
rather backward, and gives steadness to 1.-The
sure and certain step of man." But fashion has
decided that the heel of the boot or shoe shall
get as near the center of the instep as possible.
Instead of the weight Of the body resting upon
an arch. in the modern fine lady it rests upon
pegs with the toes in front, which have
to prevent the body from topping forward.
Then the heel is SO high that the foot
rests upon the peg and the toes: and
the gait is about as elegant as II the lady were
practcing walking upon stills. In order to poise
the body on these two points bend forward is
necessitated. which is regarded as the correct
attitude Of the form divine" 1t is needless to
say that there are few ankles which can stand
this strain without yielding; and it is quite COM
mon to see young ladies walking along with
their ankles twisting ali ways or perhaps with
the sole of their shoe or boot escaping from.

tact with the ground. With such modern i'm

perfect freedom and play) the present made

qnently must be removed by light grades and
large sewers, instead of intercepting it at the
higher levels
1t remains to examine into his scheme for re-
IN )ving and disposing Of the sewage. The en-
tire alignment Is based on the assumption that
1t Is not permissible to discharge the sewage
into the Potomac before purifying it. Suitable
grounds for this purpose are suggested on the
eastern shore of the Potomac, a mile above Al
exandria, and the entire sewage from Wash
ingtOn and Georgetown to be brought to them
IN grand collector crossing the Eastern Branch
at the arsenal by means of an inverted siphOn.
The sewage reaches the arsenal by two inter
cepting sewers; one is located on Georgia
avenue, and preventsall sewage from f0wingint
the Eastern Branch; the other skirts the pres
ent shore Of the Potomac as far as Rock creek,
aud then continues along the eastern bank OF
the latter. thus intercepting the sewage of
the central, the western and northern parts
Of Washington. The sewage of George
town is to be collected by two intercepting
sewers located along its southern and eastern
boundaries, joining at Water street. crossing
Rock creek by means of siphons and discharg-
Ing into the intercepting sewer Just mentioned
poses three systems Of branch intercepting sew
ers, as follows: One on the line Of New York
avenue, from 9Th to 18th streets, and after foin-
Ing branch, running along street, crosses
the White lot and discharges into the main in
terceptfng sewer at point east of the Wash
ingt0n monument. Another one follows the
line OF Maryland avenue, from LIST street to the
river, with branches intended to relieve the low
grounds near Pennsylvania avenue. A third
one runs along Delaware avenue to south N
street, and along the latter to the river.
Granting the necessity Of preventing sewage
from flowing into the rivers his location of the
main intercepting sewers seems a naturalsand
suitable one. The same cannot be said Of all of
the various branches. The New York avenue
aud street branches could answer their pur.
pose to certain extent By relieving the grounds
