be embraced, thar that for which all the
conditions required for the development
OF the crop, can he secured.
According to the following practice. a
farmer having a giving amount Of re-
sources at his command endeavors to see
how far he can spread thcm. and the re-
suit Is usually as thin rs the a of con-
centration in their application. a cart of
manure is amply sufi cient for a given
area, but If instead Of restricting it to the
proper area. it is applied to ten acres, it
had better been sold; both it and the la
Dor Of application Is wasted.
Every able bodied man is endowed by
nature with physical power enough to
support himself and those naturally de-
pendent on him, if that power is properly
applied and directed, but if he fails to re-
strict it to a proper limit and undertake
more than he can do. he is wasting his
energies to no purpose. BY a study Of
these two examples of success we see tina,
the controlling effort of the n was to
avoid incuring expense; if he could not
make his labor remunerative he wished
to avoid the expense by dispensing with
it. In the latter case the effort was to sc
utilize his labor as to obtain the best re-
suits from it. If an acre of land could be
made to yield thribble or quadruple what
it did with labor at a given value, it was
Equivalent to reducing the cost Of produc,

and accuracy in detail of the operations
of the farm, and deserves to be initiated
for it is by this means that the best ano
most lasting results arise and continue
for generations to come. Lands become
permanently enriched, their products are
less liable to be cut off by partial drouth
and the operator has done a lasting ser
vice after which others may pattern, and
be able to attain like results.
There are other examples Of success IL

Gospel of the Farm.

Instead OF planning how you can buy
that adjoining farm, and how YOU can
manage to make the wife, girls and boys
scrlmp and save to pay for it, depriving
them, not ou, of the comforts, but Of
the actual necessities of life. that you
may die owner of a few more acres, it is
much better to study how you may ar
range the barns or build now one if
necessary, SO that You may feed few
steers, and a few sheep and lambs, or
feed and milk q few cows, anything or
every shing to increase the mannial sup
ply TILL you have enough to bring every
acre you have to It's highest state of
product veness. tt takes no more teams,
time or labor to cultivate q rich acre
than a poor one, and there is a great
deal more money and satisfaction, too
In one acre highly manfred and

he ever has produced no matter how

Small Feet Not Beau tifu1.

from the new 1Oik MAIL Is W
This clatter about small feet is all
nonsense, said 8 fashionable shoemak-.
er yesterday. 2 I saw an interview with
q shoemaker in the Mail and Express
last week, IN which it was said that
certain lady had the prettiest foot in
New York because she weighed 16O
pounds and yet wore only . number one
shoe. That lady had the homeless foot
in New York to my Judgment, and I am
connoisseur in feet A small foot is
more usually deformity than beau:
y." <t s#.. 80 r.
'Why?" asked the reporter.
Because it is usually disproportion,
monstrosity. A perfectly beautiful
womans foot should be in length lit
tie less than one seventh Of her height.
The foot, moreover, is the base, the
support of the body, and it should
be neither too small to support it, nor,
for beauty's sake, seem to be so. I'm
agine $50 pounds Of flesh over two little
number one feet. I've got an artistic
eve for such things, and the dispropor-
ton make me shudder. The most beau
tiful foot known is that Of the Venus di
Medici. It is neither very short nor
very marrow, and, although the Venus
is a rather small woman, she would find
a number two shoe decidedly uncomfort-
able. The model of that foot never
wore shoe. You hear lots of talk
about the big feet Of Chicago girls.
That shows that Chicago girls are either
very tall or very sensible There is not
a pretty foot in New York. Ihave been
measuring ladies' feet for thirty years
in this city, and have failed to find a
really pretty foot yet. My artistic taste
has often prompted me to goto Chicago,
where the feet must be prettier than the
number two feet of the New York ladies
unless the New York ladies are phenonl-
enally short in height"
care tight shoes unhealthful?
every. They impede the circulation
of blood. With tight shoes and tight
laoing our women will produce a very
thin blooded generation. Tight shoes
destroy grace and cause an awkward
walk. Ii you want to acquire the gait
Of q dude, just get a pair Of pointed
shoes two sizes too small for you and
hold out your arms"
"Can you describe perfect foot?'
"A perfect foot must be, as I said be-
fore, little less in length than one
seventh the height of the woman. It
should be arched on the top. Itshould
be broadcast across the ball, and the toes
symmetrical and tipped with pink nails,
should spread fiat upon the ground at
every step. The second toe should DE
the longest. The heel should descend
in straight line from behind the ankle
and should be delicately rounded. The
skin should be white as ivory and marked
! with faint indications of blue veins. The
heel and toes, however, should have q
rosy flush. Such a foot you never see
trealing the beach Of seaside water
ing place and never will until women
learn that 3 small foot is not necessarily
beautiful one.

'TEEuNIvERsAL PRovIDER.'
a Queer london Institution.
: S,pa I1ev in the New York Trihuna

The great fire in Whitley's on Satur-
day is remarkable for more reasons
than one. Humane presence of mind in
the policeman who ordered the two
hundred horses to be cut loose deserved
more honor than it has received. The
papers do not even print the police
mans name. The loss was half mil
lion sterling, and the fact that q fire of
that magnitude in crowded neighbor-
hood was got under control in a few
hours-in fact never allowed to extend
beyond the building in which it began
is honorable to the fire brigade which
Capt. Shaw commands.
Whiteley's is an immense store, the
owner of which finds pleasure in de-
nominating himself the Universal Pro-
wider. The growth of this great es~
Enlistment has impoverished num-
bers of small tradesman. It's owner is
hated accordingly; all the more SO be-
cause he begun business by cutting
down prices, and has continued to I'M
dersell his lesser rivals. Between this
hatred and the occurrence of three fires
On Whiteleys premises within less than
two years, some people think there is a
connection Of cause and effect. There
is no proof, and the suspicion is a gastly
one, but am told it is pretty commonly
credited by Whiteley's customers.
Little or nothing, however, will you
hear of this in print And yet the in
teryiewer has seen Mr.. Whitley. I say
"the" interviewer because there is, SO
far as / know, but one in London, and
there is some reason to suppose he will
for time continue to be the only one.
Mr. Whiteley tells his story in al inter-
esting way. It is an old story the
story Of {. man who comes to London
with IS note in his pocket and an idea
in his head. Mr.. Whiteley's ideas
grew in number with prosperity,
but he still sums them up I'M
der the commonplace heads. Homes
ty, Small Profits and Quick Returns,
and No Credit. Besides which he went
to Sunday school, and will not sell milk
because it involves Sunday labor; on the
part OF the cow as we'll as of the dealer,
he is CAREFUL to explain. In early life he
went through the usual routine-was
clerk and salesman and even bagman for
some years, started a shop of his own
and succeeded from the first. Now his
warehouses cover more acres than he
can count, and lie employs 5000 men
and women on the premises, And with
the single exception OF milk above ment'
ioneG, there is no article for which he
will not take an order--"an iron clad, q
wife or child, it is ali the same to me.
T receive your order and execute it in
The ordinary course" And just as read
lily after d big fire as before, it is but d
portion Of t.li. huge concern which the
flames have consumed.
A story used to be current of q bet
between two men at & club that an
order could be sent to Whiteley which
he would not execute. The order was
for q second hand coffin and it was
filed. The loser Of the bet inquired
OF Mr. Whiteley how the coffin came to
justify its description us secondhand.
! "Sir," answered the Universal Provider,
cit was misht."
