Flat Feet.

The chief surgeon of the Swiss Federal
army declares that the Swiss examining
surgeons are compelled to reject every
year 800 recruts-the strength of a bat
TALON for malformation of the foot re-
sulting from wearing badly fitting shoes.
The human foot is in reality bow so
elastic that at every step it expands and
contracts, lengthenS and shortens. A
line drawn through the center of the
great toe should intersect the heel. But,
despite all the books which have ever
been written on the anatomy of the organ
in question, those whose business it is to
cover it act as if the foot were a solid
piece of mechanism. They cabin, crib
and contine the big toe, which requires
room for lateral expansion, until it is
forced against its neighbors and is tor
tured by corns, bunions, and sometimes
painful Inflammation of the joints.
Flat-footedness is due to many causes
connccte with improperly-made shoes;
yet, if people would insist ON their foot
gear being constructed so as to allow the
toes free action and the instep its due
play, it would be quite possible to cure
the mischief.
A pair of perfect shoes. the Swiss
Medical Colonel contends, should, when
placed together. touch only at the toes
and heels; the soes should follow the
sinuosities of the feet, and TO give room
for their expansion, should exceed them
by about one "size.n The peculiar,
awkward running gait of women and
big girls is due to a weak-kneedness
characteristic of the sex, owing to the
different way the upper supports of their
limbs grow as they approach to matur-
ity. This condition is well seen in pict-
ures and statues, and forces the woman
in running to move the knees around
each other, and throw the feet out in sue
cessiJn of small semi-crcles. In men.
on the contrary, the knee-cap looks a
little outward, instead of straight for
ward, and their knees are quite free.
The result of the high heeled, hioh-
legged boots now in vogue for women
is to render the natural condition a de-
forrnity, and by throwing the weight of
the body on the inner ankle. to break
down the arch of the foot and produce
Hat-foot, or complete evenncss Of one or
both feet.

The willows unrolling their leaves,
And the fields with the tender wheat flushing
That soon would be waving with sheaVes,
Not then went the tOiler to labor,
The task of subduing tue earth,
With the sound of the pipe and the tabor,
With anthems of joyanGe end mirth.
Nor yet when professional flowers
Passed on through the light or the gloom,
When the vivid and picturesque hours
Laughed ont in splendor of bloom.
When the oriOle royal and golden,
Flashed forth like gem in the sun,
Still man by stern duty was holden,
Not yet was the victory won.
When the vines on the trellis were burdened
With clusters all purple and sweet;
When the hand of the worker was guerdoned
With bounty of harvests complete;
When wide over mountain and valley
The banners of autumn, unfurled
In a vast and magnificent rally,
Shed lustre and pomp o or the world
Then pausing to think of the story
Ofpromise, fultiment and cheer
The hope and the faith and the glory,
The crown of the beautiful year,
From the stress OF our care-weighted living,
The strain of our hurrying days,
We break, and uplift thanksgiving
To God, who is worthy of praise.
Aud what if the storms lie before US,
The days that are dreary and cold,
Since the love that is vigilant DER us
Guards ever the young and the old,
Still answers the earnest endeavOr
With more than a measured reward,
And suffers our WEAKNESS never
To slip from the grasp of the LORD.

And plenty hath lowered the earth.

Throughout yesterday ) Sag was at
half-mast over the cottage 81 I1nnlMesr
Melville, at Sharon Hill, near the city,
where it was placed on Saturday morn
ing by Mrs. Melville Immediately after
hearing the sad news of De Longs
death. In the Saturday mail Mrs. Mel
vile received two packages. One was
letter from Mrs. De Long, acknowl-
edging the receipt of a copy of piece of
music which Elsie Melville, the intrepid
engineers little daughter, just eight
years old, had composed and dedicated
to the lady. This piece of music is q
weird march, very simple and sad, in
which the child has expressed in music
her ideas of her fathers tiresoHe search
for bis lost comrades in the Siberian
wilds. It was composed about month
ago, and since its publication, under
the title of stMelville's March to De
Long," has attracted great attention.
Mrs. De Long described how her own
little daughter, Sylvia, who is partially
blind and has to be kept in darkened
room, with her eyes bandaged, had
played it over, and what pleasure and
consolation 1t gave them! She ex-
pressed no hope of hearing of her
husband alive, but said she trusted Mel
vile would survive the march, whatever
its end, and be restored to his family.
Mrs. Melville's sympathetic pleasure
was turned to instant grief the moment
she opened the next package, containing
an account of the finding of the dead
bodies of De Long and his party by
her husband. She burst into tears, and,
going to her room, was overcome with
grief. She sat down as soon as COM
posed and sent dispatch to Mrs. De
Long, saying: 81 would could take
you in my arms and share at least a
portion of that great, unutterable sorrow
which feel must be in your heart -
Even the children were in tears, and the
family from whom the father had been

gether and prayed for the other father

Der that little over year ago the magnih-

English Efforts to Divert Immigration.

1t is amusing to see the efforts the
English are making to divert to Canada
some of the immigration pouring into
this country. They are holding public
meetings to raise a fund of $4,000 to
offer in premiums of pound each to
every immigrant who settles in the
Dominion. Five dollars is doubtless a
big sum for the average English laborer
to receive as a gift; but most of the
immigrants to this country would
think a dozen times before accepting it
on such conditions. Manitoba is a great
country, with some good farm and tim
Der land, but with winters stretching
from October to>June; with Indians and
bears and wolves to prey upon cattle,
and no roads, no markets, no society to
speak of, no schOols-nothing in par
ticnlar but a rough, wild stretch of out
of-doors, it is not strange that immi-
grants don't rush to such region when
they can settle in the United States ON
better terms.-Ne1O York Star.
