To the casual visitor Milan is simply
cathedral, with an ordinary hum
drum manufacturing town surrounding
it. say surrounding it, because the
cathedral stands in the center of the
town, all the principal streets radiatc
from it, all the tramway and omnibus
lines start from it, and nearly all the
places of amusement or diversion arc
in the neighborhood of it. Milan was
doubtless considerable city before the
Romans took it and dubbed it Medic
lanum. In the middle ages, when it
contained a population of 100000, it
was destroyed by Frederick Bar
barossa. Here it was that afterward
the Viscont and the Sforzas reigned,
here the Spaniards held their court,
here Austria lorded it over Italy until
1S4S. Everybody must be familiar with
its wondrous cathedral and its one
hundred Gothic turrets and two thou
sand marble statues; everybody must
know that next to st. Peters and tho
Cathedral of Seville this is the largest
church in Europe. But what of thatp
Mount the narrow stone staircase in
the wall and gain the top Of the dome,
and what do you seep That the one hun

Celebrations, that the two thousand
statues arc a wearisome parade of
stone-cutters' work, despicable from
the artistic point of view and worthless
from the historical. You are amazed
by the incredible labor, the vast ex-
pense, the enormous loss of time in
volved in this structure, whose only
use could have been to amaze the curl
GUS and awe the ignorant. When you
look from the dome over the luxuriant
plains that surround Milan in every
direction you can scarcely resist groan-
ing when you reflect how many mill
lions Of these acres must have con-
tributed year after year and century
after century TO erect this vast pile Of
cuIiously carved granite; how many
myriads Of peasants must have toiled
and expired In order that the two thou

Causes of Flat-FOOtedness.

Flat-foot is an acquired deformity,
characterized by tlattening or falling
down of the inner longitudinal arch Of
the foot, structure on which depend
the form of the foot, the distribution
of the weight of the body over it, and
the grace and ease of walking con-
hected with the rising forward on the
toes. Its cause may be found in any
condition that disturbs the natural
equilibrium between the weight trans
mitted to the arch and the power Of
fibrous and muscular structures to
sustain the pressure. 1t comes on
about puberty, or between puberty
and full manhood, particularly in per-
sons exposed to long standing, carry
ing heavy weights, or other modes of
straining the arch, and IN those whose
tissues are weak at that point. In
very severe cases the heel becomes
raised, giving the foot what Prof.
Ongston has called canoe-shape.
The success of any treatment of the
deformity depends largely upon the
age and extent of the inliiction and the
ability Of the person to conform to the
surgeons directions. 1t includes pro
longed rest, the avoidance Of standing
still, the exhibition Of tonics, the adap-
tation Of boots to the requirements Of
the case, with the application of devil
ces to raise and support tho arch or
bring the other parts of the foot into
position, with, sometimes, surgical OPP
erations. Prof. Ongston, availing him
self Of the advantages Of Listerism, has
ventured. with success, upon the bold
operation ofrearranging the bones Of
the foot In their proper position and
plugging them together with ivory

"Do you like fish to be scarce or

"As we sell on commission it mat
tcrs little TO us what price the fish is
sold ut, providing the gross receipts of
the day aggregate well. But when
fish become too plentiful, the handling
of large quantity for Il small amount
of money is not SO agreeable as if the
sales were smaller in quantity and the
price obtained larger. We like to
make as much money as we can for
the consignors; but they have to put
up with what the fish will realize. This
being the principal market day, there
are always more purchasers on Thurs
day than on other days of the week;
consequently fishermen bring in their
catches for to-day's market, and this
sometimes causes Il glut.n

A THEOSOPHIC MARRIAGE

She was theosophc miss
Who sighed for sweet Niryann;
She talked OF esoteric this
And that, in mystic manner.
She wore wide and psychic smile,
Used diction transccndental.
Two suitOrs her beseged meanwhile
Both softly sentimental.
The one, he was drummer bland,
Who wore lofty collar;
He knew not things were hollow, and
lie chased the nimblc dollar.
The other was soulful youth,
Who talked OF things symbolic;
Enamored quite OF inner truth
And predisposcd to collie.
The one, he talked of common love,
In tones that made her shuddcr;
The other one scared with her above
To misty realms Of Buddha.
She sent the first upon his way
With snub unmitlgated-
Upon the other smiled, and they
By llymen were translated.
FOUR YEARS LATER.
Within lofty Harlem fiat
She's found her sweet NirvHnn;
She does not think Of this and that
As marshy zcphyrs fan her;
0 She drcamily wipes Buddha's nose
And spankcth Ioroastcr,
And mcnds their transccndcutal clothes,
Torn by occult disaster.
Her adept husband still can solve
The mysteries eternal,
But for some reason can't evolve
A salary diurnal.
He still floats on to cycles new,
But fills his astral body
With-not the Chcclahs milky brcw,-
But Jersey apple toddy.
She Cloqucntly mourns her life
And Objurgatcs her Latin,
To daily see the drummCr's wife
Drive by her clad in satin.
She has been heard, in fact, TO say
When somewhat diScuntCntcd,
"Though 'osophics,' hold social sway,
Though 'ologics enjoy their day,
think, in love, tho good old way
BY far the best inycmtcd.n

Mask Dances.


A kind of feast of masks takes Mac,
once year in New Ireland, one of tho
South sea islands, in the early days
of May, and is made an occasion when
hostile tribes meet each other in peace
and for that day only-and, possibly,
for finding preteXts for another years
hostilities. During the festival of
peace and masks the brave carve out,
adorns, and paints his mask according
to his own notion, and generally with
considerable artistic skill. Hence the
masks in a large tribe will exhibit q
great variety of patterns. Great care
is taken that no one shall see the mask,
for it is very important that the
identify of the owner should be con-
cealed. When the work is finished,
the owner puts his mark on it, and
takes 1t to the mask-housc. When tho
time comes for the parade of tho
masks, the champions put them on,
having arrayed themselves for tho oc-
,asion in red shirts Of bark, and skirts
reaching to their knees. They then go
out armed to tho ncighboring tribes,
giving notice of their approach by tho
blowing of conchs and the beating of
their wooden drums. When tho hos
tile tribe is reached, the mask dance is
executed with set of extraordinary
movements, and then they all fall to
eating together, and not without some
restraint, for instances of trcachery
have been known in which poison was
concealed in 'tempting-looking sago
cakes. Peace lasts till night, when
the masks are inspected, compared,
criticised, and jeered at with every
manifestation of contempt. The last
part Of the proceedings excites mutual
anger, and furnishes the occasion for
the next years hostilities, Popular

Zen Dollars a Year.


'lc,'rHrrdinary instance of the pc
Ut'l.s UtChincsc notions of justice,
nlOIltd in the law of the land,
occurred at the mixed court of
ShaAghn. An old man, clothed in
rags was hroWght before Huang and
MIR Giles md charged with attempt
ing tI commit suicide by drowning
himself in he Soochow creek. The
accused On, clean y-looking youth,
appeared To- give evidence against his
father IlI was at once ordered by
lIuaug to 20 down on his knees before
the bench. Mr.. Giles remarked that
it appeared to be the Chinese custom,
when the son charged the father with
an oilensc, to make him 90 down on
his knees like an accused person, and
he thought it best not to interfere.
The circumstances of the case were
then explained to the court. 1t was
stated that the son was an assistant in
barbcr's shop, earning the muniii-
cent salary of 900 cash n month, in
addition to his food. Out of this he
helped to support his father; but the
old man was not satisfied with what
he got, as his son had promised to let
him have $4,000 cash Il month-an
amount rather difficult for the boy to
pay out Of n monthly salary OF 900
cash. The old man upbraided his son
for walking about in good clothes
while his poor father was in rags, and
announced his intention of committing
suicide in consequence ofhis sons I'M
filial conduct.
The son, fearing that the old man
would carry out his intention, followed
his father to the edge of the Soochow
creek, when the father seized hold of
the boy and jumped into the water,
dragging his son with him. Luckily,
the water was shallow and the boy
was strong, so he managed to land
both himself and his progcnitor safely
on the bank. His worship, having
heard his story, to the amazcmcnt of
all the foreigners in court, ordered the
boy who had saved his fathers life to
be rewarded with one hundred blows,
Huang explaining to Mr.. Giles that it
was principle in Chinese law when a
son prosecuted his father to begin by
giving the son one hundred blows.
Chief Inspector Cameron, anxious to
save the boy from his undcserved
punishment, explained that the police
were the prosecutors in the case, and
that it was only at their instigation
that the boy had given evidence; and
Huang then graciously rcmitted his
sentence, at the same time handing
over the would-be suicide to the foster
ing care of his son, who willapparcntly
have to maintain his father out Of his
slender income of about $40 per an

When uumJer of men "whack
