High Heels.

Several months ago we pointed out some Of
the injuries caused by the use of high heeled
boots and shoes. 1t is not at all difficult to
understand on anatomical grounds why this
fashion should have resulted in so much in-
jury to health as it undoubtedly has. 1t is
extremely difficult to imagine why the very
ungainly gait TINS acquired should remain in
fashion for a single week in civilized country.
Nature has intended that in standing the foot
should bear the weight Of the body chiefly
through the heel, and that the position should
imply little or no strain on the trunk or Limits.
1t Is so when one stands on the naked foot.
The arch Of the instep is merely a steadying
influence With the high heel on the other
hand, the posterior part OF the instep is con-
tinuallY the seat OF pressure; the wearer stands,
and also walks, or rather stumps, upon its
arch. The plantar muscles atrOphy from
pressure, the center Of gravity is moved for
ward from the neel, the foot itself is weakened
and the muscles of the leg strained. Changes
in tue spinal curve follow, and gives rise to
the deep depression at the loin, and promi-
nence Of hips, with associated mincing gait,
so commonly seen on every promenade. For
tunately, many Of those who adhere TO this
fashionable foot gear, do not wear il CONSTANT
~ and therefore do not experience its worst
ELECTS. OF late, it is pleasant to note ten
dehcy TO adopt newer styles, which are not
only much more elegant than that which we
have been criticising, but which allow of a
free movement without after i'll effects.
No human foot should be allowed TO rest with
IN boot whose heel does not fall evenly be-
low Its own, and does not afford in its moder-
ate height and width, guarantee for ease and
security in walking.-Lanoet.

This is bill in equity by one Kapenapuka,

aged Hawaiian lady, Apahu by name, to de-
clare null and void a certain deed OF convex
ance to the defendant, of parcel Of land stu
ated at kapalama, Honolulu, Oahu, dated
March, 9Th, 1884, The bill sets forth that
hapenapuka is the son of Apahu, that sho is
between seventy and eighty years old, that
she has been partially paralyEed for the past
three years and has been Of feeble mind and
incapable Of iransactiuS or understanding bus
mess; that she has been cared for and sup
ported 10y her said son during this period; that
on the 9TH March last, the defendant fraudu-
lently induced the said Apahu to execute deed
Of the said premises; that Apahu was induced
to sign said deed only after repeated attempts
to persuade her 10 do so, and she finally Weld
ed TO the undue Influence o6the defendant, not
understanding the nature of the instrument
That said deed is expressed to be in consider
alton Of one dollar, Of love and affection, on
account Of past services, and of an agreement
for future services; and the petitioner alleges
that said consideration is neither good nor val
liable, and is insufficient to support the deed;
that defendant has not in the past rendered
airy valuable service to Apahu and has not
bound herself to do so in the future.
II is submitted 10y the plaintiffs counsel, F.
NJ. Hatch, that no valuable consideration is
shown, and affection will not support the deed

Walker and they wanted 10 pay up. The bill
was soon made and delivered, and few days

pressed for payment Walker wished TO give
note at SIX months, and said he would then
pay 1t leaet half the amount, if not all, with
interest. Walker said he had the leasehold

500 dollars each, and the other held at same
rent, but they were morigaged for about SILL
600, to two different parties, {. r. Bishop and

A Feline Heroine.


Public opinion is often hard on cats. They
are accused of gentle and complacent selfish
meas, which gives an admired tone of calm to
their manner. Mr.. Romanes has lately shown
that cats are philo-the Greeks had no cats
till late period, and we cannot, therefore
coin proper word to express that quality in
the cat which is called philanthropy in man.
Suffice it to say that cats can be charitable to
cats. A cat in Mr.. Romanes' mental Evolu-
ton in Animals" found a starved cat and
gave the poor beast her own dinner-a fish
dinner, too. Here was real altraism in
puss. A remarkable example Of pluck and
devotion has just been given by another cat.
When Lusby's Music Hall was burned,
cat, the mother of four kittens, CHANGED to be
out of dangers way, but the kittens were in
danger at the rear ofthe stage. Several times
that brave puss rushed into the choking smoke
and several times she was driven back. Three
kittens she rescued, then she hurried back
for the fourth, but she returned no more. The
charrcd remains Of the cat and her kitten were
found .fying side by side where the Ere had
overtAken them, If either sect Of Positivists
still eommetnorates the virtues Of the lower
creation, this poor plucky cat deserves place
among the four-footed saints. Did any dog
ever display go much devotion, and could any
man die betters

Iron vsr.u. Steel Ships.

About six years ago the Board Of Trade
sanctioned the use Of a modified steel, now
generally known as mild steel, in the construc-
ton Of ships. machinery and boilers. This
resulted in mutual arrangement to introduce
a series Of appropriate tests, which were ac-
cepled and efectually carried out by several
OF the leading steel manufacturers, and which
substantially remain in force. About five
years ago a Joint Committee Of the Board Of
Trade and the Institute Of Civil Engineers in
view of these results arrived at the conclusion
that ga malleable description Of steel can be
produced Of uniform quality stronger and more
ductile than iron, and in every way most
suitable material for shipbuilding purposes"
More recently it has been extensively adopted
in the construction of corvettes in the British
navy, the chief constructor, Mr.. Barnaby, hav
ing pronounced strongly in its favor; while Sir
E. J. Reed has written to Mr.. Chamberlain
recommending that the Board of Trade should
officially recognize its superiority over iron.
The latest and most conclusive test Of the value
Of steel over iron ships is supplied by the
wreck Of the Duke Of Westminster steamer on
the south coast Of the Isle Of Wight. Mr.. j.
II. Davies, Of the Institute of Civil Engineers,
was employed to examine this wreck and re-
port on it after the ship was hoated and brought
to the Victoria Dry Dock in the Thames. In
this report Mr.. Davies says: THE fact that
she remained for ten days on q ledge Of rocks
without breaking W, and duringat least half the
time the weather was very stormy, is a strong
proof of the substantial character of her hull,
and stronger proof of the immense advau-
tage of steel over iron, as had she been built Of
iron there is not a doubt that she would have
gone to pieces" Last year another steel ship,
the ROt0plltdHd, was ashore of New Zealand,
when the owners agent in reporting on the
case said: "The vessel has been got off the
rocks, but with with large number of pas
Sengers, would have been lost had it not been
for the beautiful quality of the material of
which she Is built, known as mild steel" To
encourage the building Of steel ships, the Com
mittee of Lloyd's REGISTER now sanction the
use of steel 20 per cent thinner than that of
iron, which brings the cost of production
nearly as low as that of iron. In view OF these
and similar facts, fresh memorial has been
prepared with a view to presentation to the
Board Of Trade, and is subscribed by nearly
one hundred shipowners, engineers, represents
atives Of chambers Of commerce, underwriters
and shipbuilders in every part of the kingdom.
1t strongly recommends that the Board should
in evey way possible encourage the construc-
ton of steel ships as one of the most effectual
means whereby the number Of shipwrecks may
be reduced
