GLOW beautiful are thy feet in shoes,
o princes daughter" sang Solomon
nearly 5000 years ago. But time works
wondrous changes, and we fear the wise
king could not repeat his compliments
were he living in the midst OF us now
without doing violence to his conscience.
There is no beauty left in the feet of the
princess after she has tortured them for
years in the narrow leather case raised
up at one end, which we miscall shoes.
The foot has struggled bravely to become
something more than mere base OF sup
port, and often painful one for the
human animal. In our supposed pro-
genitors it was SO flexible and handy q
member as even, though enormously, to
receive the designation of hand, and the
apes we're called by Cuvier quadrumani.
Even in some of the human races of the
present day the foot is almost as useful
for prehension as is the hand. Thus the
New Caledonians are said to run up
trees with the agility of a cat by grasp
ing the trunks and boughs with the feet
and hands alternately, using the two
with equal facility. And the instances
of individuals, born without arms or hav-
ing lost these members in early life, who
have been able to write, paint and per-
form other tasks requiring precision and
accuracy Of touch by means of their feet
alone are not unknown. But these rare
cases Of what might be called compul-
sorry stavism only serve to emphasize the
failure of the foot IN it's attempt to raise
itself higher than nature intend ed it
should be raised. The moralist might
draw from this warning for those who
are striving to do what their limited ca
pacities render impossible of accomplish
ment.
The size of the foot varies in individu-
ais within wide limits, but the average
length among different peoples, is pretty
constant, and would appear with certain
exceptions, to be an indication of the de-
gree of civilization to which the commu-
nifty has attained. Thus according to
series of measurements collected from
various sources by M. Topinard, and
quoted by M. Manouvrier in the "Diction-
aire des Sciences Anthropologiques," we
find the proportionate length of the foot
to the height of the individual, repre-
sented by 100 to be as follows: Parisians,
IA, 8: Russians, Is, 5; Hungarians, Is, 4;
Chinese, 10, /; Australian aborigines, Is,
1; Algerians IA, 8. The Chicago foot is
said to bear a much larger proportion to
the size of the individual, and a similar
disproportion has recently been affirmed
of the pedal extremity of the Bostonisn
by popular writer, but neither of these
reports is substsntiated by scientific
measurements. and coming from lay
sources, they are not to be relied upon as
scientific facts.
The shoes worn by the majority of
civilized men are an abomination. They
are wrongly constructed and are the
cause of most of the acquired deformi-
ties of the foot The axis of the sole OF
the shoe should not be straight line,
but should be curve, following the
natural curve Of the foot, with convexity
looking outward. The sole should be of
moderate thickness and flexible, and the
uppers should fit snugly, but not SO as
to cramp the foot in any part. = Medical

Lord, who ordainest for mankind
Benignant tolls and tender cares,
We thank thee for the ties that bind
The mother to the child she bears.
We thank thee for the hopes that rise
Within her heart, as, day by day,
The dawning soul. from those young eyes,
Looks with clearer, steadier ray.
And, grateful for the blessing given
With that dear infant on her knee,
She trains the eye to look to heaven,
The voice to lisp prayer to thee.
Such thanks the blessed Mary gave,
When from her lap the Holy Child,
Sent from oD high to seek and save
The lost of earth, looked up and smiled.
All-Graciousl grant to those who bear
A mothers charge, the strength and light
To guide the feet that own their care
In ways OF Love and Truth and Right.

An impression appears to be gaining
ground that Russia is soon to make some
decisive movements in the East, attacking
Bulgaria first, and reaching Constantinople
if her progress is not checked. That Russia's
desire is to enter upon such campaign has
been known for a long time, but the obstacles
in the way have not diminished as yet, and
it is doubted if the Gar dares as yet precipi-
tate the whole of Europe into bloody war.

Not unto evil wrought:

Betrayed and bafIled still:
For the heart for itself kept,

Quicken our gratitude.

A Departure.

Mr.. Robert Farrell, who for some years
has been connected with the Herald,
has decided to conduct a newspaper Of
his own at Compton, where he thinks
there is field for weekly paper of an
independent character, and has severed
his connection with this paper. Mr..
Farrell has already secured a long list
of subscribers who are confident that he
will give them what they desire in the
way of news. His long acquaintance
with Los Angeles county. and the people
residing here has given Mr.. Farrell an
advantage over other owners of news
papers in the surrounding towns, which
assures the people of Compton that his
efforts for their enlightenment will be
successful. The first issue of his paper
will be printed in about three weeks.

The Tribune of yesterday gives the
following as the action of the Oro Fino
Club in reference to the challenge given
them by the Iroquois Democratic Club
tor joint debate on the Tariff and other
questions of the present campaign:
"Colonel Malone then moved that the
President and two Vice-P Presidents be
appointed a committee to accept the
challenge of the Iroquois Club to discuss
in joint debate the relative merits of the
Republican and Democratic platforms.
M. Fehneman arose and said that he OBJ
jected to discussing the matter and there
by placing the Democratic party on an
equal plane with the Republican party,
if only in debate. [Cheers. The above
seemed to be the feeling of the club, and
the motion was withdrawn Il Tribune.
We once heard braggart boy, notori-
GUS for his want of courage, say che was
never known to back out, 'cept when he

An enlightened public sentiment wrote
him down a coward. Bring out your

''The very short crop of last year has nat

in other sections the quality was fairly
