g The Handwriting of Great Men.

The Duke OF Wellington's writing
was large and forcible, without at
temp; at decoration. During the last
ten years of Ills life, however his
writing was indifferent, and often il
legibIe..2 None but a eompositor in a
newspaper Office, accustomed to all
hierogiyphics, could possibly decipher
The characters, q A letter of his to a
minister in Lord Derby's cabinet has
not to this day been iunravelled.
Nine out of every ten Of the Dukes
letters treasured BY autograph hunters
were written by his secretary, Mr..
Greville, who wrote a'hand very much
like that Of the Duke In his best days.
Lord Broughman's hand betrayed
much nnconquerabie restiessness Of
impulse. 81 His 'mahnscript was a mass
of hieroglyphics, and, according to
DR.. Blenkinsop, M all Mr.. Cloves
extensive printing establishments in
London there was only one man COM
petent to grappEes eswith it, and he often
gave it up in despair. The bold and
careless freedom Of Byron's hand
writing compared to the elegant little
prettiness of Tom Moore's, reveals
very clearly the peculiar qualities Of
the two poets. The elegant precision
of Mrs. Heman's penmanship, and
the free but clear and intelligent
abandon of Z. E. Landon's were
equally characteristic Of their mental
peeufarities. The royal family Of
England have generally written good,
clear and free hands. William ".
wrote d remarkably plain and legible
hand, and that Of his brother George
was snowy and fluent. Queen victo-
teria has an elegant signature. Locke
says The faster d man writes the

: Fannie Mills is 22 years old, and
resides on the dairy farm Of her faith
er, George Mills, two miles from San
dusky, Ohio. A Cincinnati Enquirer
reporter describes visit The
young woman was called by her faith
ler, and wabbled, rather than walked,
into the front room She wore q
Hong gown, which was scarcely sufli-
cient to hide the deforrnity. She
sat down in char, and exposed her
feet to view. 1t is almost impossible
to exaggerate the marvellous sight.
She removed her shoes, and thea
great white piilow-cases, which were
worn as stockings.
The feet looked Hike two immense
hams. The toes are irregular, aaa
the little toes are represented by two
little knobs. There are no toe-nails,
although the places where they should
be are clearly defined. The cores
pondent undertook the delicate task
Of measuring the feet. The right
foot is ppe foqtsix inches in length,
and the left one inch shorter. Over
the instep Of the right foot Is twenty
one inches, and over the other ID one
inch less. The big toe Of the left
foot is eleven inches in circumference.
The right foot is longer than the left
by an inch, but the latter. is heavier
and thicker. The feet are respective
ly seven and eight inches wide. From
this actual measurement of Fanny
Mills feet any one can readily imag-
lime what marvelously large shoes she
must wear Heretofore they, have
been manufactured 10 Albany, n. Y,
but . Sandusky shoe firm. has the
lasts and a pair of shoes on exhibi-
ton, which have attracted great atten-
tion. Her feet have increased in size

The, left shoe is l6 l-2 inches long,
| The right Is inches in length; the
left is z I-2 inches wide, and the 9TH
er 8 inches. The right instep of the
shoe measures Is IA inches, and the
left, u l-2 inches, Fannie Mills
weighs los pounds. and although
misunderstanding, says she mas, good
health. It takes two calf-hiaes TO
make her . pair of shoes, and all her
vitality goes to sustain her massive
limbs and feet. The girl had unusu-
ally large feet when she was born,
and they have continued to grow
alar1ningly fast ever since.
