FLAT FEET,
MalrornatIon Caused by Bnd shoes
Why Women Hun AWkwardly.

The chief surgeon of the Swiss Feder-
al Army declares that the Swiss examin-
ing surgeons are compelled to reject
every year 800 recruits-the strength of u
battalion-for malformation of the foot
resulting from wearing badly fitting
shoes. The human foot is, in reality, a
bow so elastic that at every stepit expands
and contracts, lengthens and shortens.
A line drawn through the centre of the
great toe should intersect the heel But,
despite all the books which have ever
been written on the anatomy of the organ
i'll question, those whose business it is to
cover it, act as if the foot were solid
piece of mechanism. They cabin, crib
and confine the big toe which requires
room for lateral expansion, until it is
forced against its nsishbors and is tor
tured by corns, bunions and sometimes
painful inflammation of the joints. Flat
footcdness is due to many causes con-
nected 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 mis-
chief.
A pair Of perfect shoes, the Swiss Med
ical Colonel contends, should, when
placed together, touch only at the toes
and heels the soles should follow the
sinuosities of the feet, and, to give room
for their expansion, should exceed them
by about one "size." The peculiar, awk-
ward running gait OF women and big
girls is due to weak -kneedncss charac-
teristic of the sex, owing to the different
way the upper supports of their limbs
grow as they approach maturity. This
condition is well seen in pictures and
statues, and forces the woman in running
to move the knees around each other.
and throw the feet out i'll succession Of
small semi-circles. In men, on the con-
trary, the knee-cap looks little outward,
instead of straight forward, and their
knees are quite free, The result of the
high-heeled, high-legged boots now in
vogue for women is to render the natural
condition deformity, and, by throw
ing the weight of the body ON the inner
ankle, to break down the arch of the foot,
and produce flat foot or complete even
ness of one or both feet.

"Scalped you Will YOU let me look

a younger man than he is now, he visited
the Walhalla, at Nuremberg. As he was
standing near the magnificent temple,
lost in admiration, n German professor
approached, and, after passing the COM
pliments of the day, remarked: 81 per-
ceive, sir, that you are an Englishman. "
Professor Park smiled and made no reply
moment later he inquired "Do you
know the cost of this building ?" The
German at once exclaimed: 81 perceive,
sir, that you are an American. do veri-
ly believe that, when an American comes
to stand before the great white throne,
his first words will be: "How much did
it cost 2"
Late i'll the Autumn of 1888 number
of literary gentlemen met in New York
City, and in the course of the evening
discussed the meteoric shower which had
occurred few nights previous, one sug-
gesting one solution of the phenomenon
and another another and, at length, one
Of the gentlemen turned to Professor
Bush and said:
"Well, Professor, you have not given
us your opinion. What do you think is
the true explanation of the shower? ?''
The Professor replied 81 don't know
as can assign the real cause but, when
| saw it, my first thought was that DIR.
Cox's head had exploded"
The brilliant orator, then at the hight
of his fame, well deserved the compile
ment.
Per contra, one evening during the
Doctors pastorate in Brooklyn, the lights
in the church suddenly went ont in mid
sermon, and several minutes passed be-
fore the mishap was remedied and the
service resumed. An editor of one of
the New York dailes reported the fact in
his next issue, and expressed his "sur-
prise that the gas should fail so long as
DIR. Cox was in the pulpit. ~. Y. Mde-

There is nothing in royal rank to de-
prive its holders and their families of any
advantage derivable from having sur
name. Bourbon, Romanof, Whittles-
bach, Nassau, Hraganza, Wasa, Hohen-
zollern, Hapsburg, Valois, Stewart, Ja-
gellon and Hohenstautfen are all cases in
point and as regards Queen Victoria's
children, their family name in their moth
er's, not their fathers, as her rank was
SO much superior TO his, and she was the
heiress of greater family. And her
family name is Gwelf. When late
Duke Of Brunswick was outlawed for
debt in this country, remember that the
proclamation Of outlawry was directed
against "George William Frederick
Gwelf, ESD, commonly called Duke of
Brunswick"
There are, no doubt, sovereign houses
whose members do not Use any surnames,
but in some of these cases they possess
them. That of the Saxon House, for
example, is Victim, the surname of that
Elector Frederick who was grandfather of
the Ernest and Albert from whom the
two main branches of the family are
named. And the royal house of Italy
has used Savoy as its family name for
many centuries, from Bonifacc, of Savoy,
Archbishop Of Canterbury in the thir-
teenth century, down to "Eugenio Won
Savoye, the colleague Of Marlborough. -

tilasgOw.

In cities generally the cathedral is the
central point in the middle of all the life
and activity of the place, but this is not the
case with Glasgow The city has slipped
away from the cathedral, which stands in
n forlorn and neglected part, bare and
desolate in its surroundings, but show
ing grim kind of grandeur, with its Sc
we're outlines and fine central tower and
spire. About it is n vast graveyard, in
the southwest corner of which is the
public entrance, among some quaint
seventeenth-century tombs, with a lodge,
about the doorway of which sundry bead
les i'll laced hats and uniforms are stand
ing. There is two-penny fee to pay
here, and the beadle who takes the money
reminds me that time is short, as the ca
thedral closes at 6, and it is already close
upon that hour.
Outside the evening is rather dull and
gloomy bat within the clerestory windows
are glowing in a solemn kind of glory,
and column, arch, and shaft are lit up
with warm, mellow radiance. There is
n simple grandeur about the place which
is highly impressive, and presently | find
my way down to the crypt, one of the
finest extant, sombre and full of gloom,
the dying light of day hardly penetrating
as | thread my way cautiously among the
massive piers, conscious of tombs and
monuments all about that mark the dust
OF almost forgotten generations. Here
are steps that can only be felt for, and |
grope about in momentary dread of a
tumble. Fancy pictures the result of
such fall, out of the reach of help, a
long night of pain, perhaps, among the
tombs Even now | think hear the
massive gates Of the crypt clang to. But

die is waiting in the upper world, waiting

the river, liquor shops, money-changers

strike the fancy and suit the needs OF

ABOUT SPIDERS.
Their prey, their COurtships, and their
EAemles.

The Rev. Henry G. McCook. of Phila-

spiders, says, as reported in the Phila-
delphia Press!
1.-THE destruction of insects by spiders
small and great, hanging entangled in one
orb-web. In one net in Paramount Park
| counted thirty-eight mosquitoes (; in an
other, hung under bridge at Asbury
Park and out Of reach, there must have
been two or three times as many. Green
head flies by the legion have been seen in
the webs that fairly enlace the boat
houses at Atlantic City and Cape May.
The very small spiders prey upon micro
scopic insects like gnats, and devour my
riads. A glance ut the fields, bushes,
and trees on dewy morning in Septem'
