The slight furry in the stock market occa-
stoned by the nomination of the republican

and the market resumed its wonted stagnant

first hour. Little further progress was made in
the downward movement, but this was soon
neutralized and prices were maintained at the
same dead level almost throughout the day.
Fluctuations generally were confined within a
range of less than 81 per cent. The only stock

A NEW PARIsIAN INDUSTRY.
The Work of the De-Hoofer and the
Fees She Earns.

yes NAAC AAeAA lao.
Mr Crowforct'S Letter in london Truth
Since the high heel and pointed toe have
had time to do their work, the chiropodist
is rising to as money-making position as
the American dentist. The women who
operate in the public baths for ladies have
more work than they can attend to, and are
raising their fees according to the state of
the pairs of feet which they are asked to
attend to. There are women who are able,
when the fine world is in Paris, to make
from e3 TO So day by what it calls de-
hoofing.
Be 1t remembered that the high-heeled
boot or shoe, by throwing the whole weight
of the body on the tghtened-up toes, dead
ems them and the rest OF the foot, and brings
tho whole member, so far as the distribu-
ton of muscular force and nervous vitality
80, into much the same state as horses
hoof The de-hoofing process begins with
warm hran or pototO-starch foot-bath,
followed by quick plunge in cold water,
after which there is shampcoing with eau
de-cologne, or something else, " help re-
action. Then there is a gymuastic pulling
out and moving up and down and from
side TO side of individual toes, which re-
minds ono of the piggy-wiggy game which
nurses play with tue pedal extremities of
babies. The nurse, beginning with the
great toe and going on with the four 9th
ers, says: This pig went to the market,
aud this stayed at home, and this pig ate
bread and butter, and this pig ate
none, and this little pig cried, take me to
nanny at home" The toes are manpula-
ted and exercised separately, until each is
timber and lively. The sole of the foot is
also enlivenod thus The patient leans with
both hands on pair of props and places
the foot on n broad horsehar band, which
works from side to side. Then comes more
hand rubbing, this time with glycerine,
followed by friction with small brushes and
instruments like drawing stumps The
nails are carefully attended to. All dead
and hard skin is carefully removed, and
finally tie ankles and insteps are put into
gymnastic training. At the end Of say an
hour, pair of feet which have been
martyrized with high heels and pointed
toes feel equal to dancing, jumping or TAX
ing a long walk. They also look shapely
and quite young. One wonders why they
should be hidden with shoes ard stockings
and whether skilled chiropody will not lead
to revival of sandals.
The professional de-hoofer, if good one,
| is a costly luxury. Some rich women
have tried to have dressing room maids Of
their own trained to de-hoof; but they are
not quite satisfactory. The professional
has that "use" which "makes master" has
more life in her hand for the particular pur-
pose for which it is needed, and gives finish
to her work.
