Beauty of American vomen,s Feet.

American women have made Paris
their second home for SO long that there
is little to be said about their demeanor
here. They are great favorites with
dressmakers, and especially admired for
their little feet. The French shoemakers
say that they shave down the lasts of
even the Spanish women to fit the beau
tiful American foot. A well arched foot
looks better in boot than in shoe, and
it is sad to see foot crumpled up in a
tight slipper and a too high heel, per-
feet piece of Chinese deformity. To do
Americans justice, they do not have to
squeeze their feet to make them look
small, and the only advice to give them
is to go to England for their walking
shoes and to learn to walk more.-Paris

Tho Wrong Woman.

There is legend told in a great York
shire town to the effect that, after sew
eral couples had been simultaneously
married at the parish church. one bride
found her bridegroom walking away
with another lady on his arm. The
curate, summoned to her aid, remon-
strated with the defaulter and besought
him to take his proper partner May"
said he, law was married to this 'un,
and ! loike her t. best" There is no
reason why this should not be sober

A Real Live Zulu.

In San Diego there is a man who is
supposed to be a full blooded Zulu and
who goes by the name of Stephens be-
cause no one can pronounce his Zulu
name. He says he was member of
Cetewayo's body guard during the Zulu
war, and was in the skirmish in which
Prince Napoleon was killed. He shows
numerous scars and relics in proof of his
assertion and talks hideous jargon that
may be Zulu or Choctaw for all any
one here can tell. San Diego Zee.

The truckers of this Peninsula need
10 lie more particular about the seed po-
tatoes they plnnt. They should follow
The example of their more experienced
South Jersey brethren who will not use
for seed, potatoes grown short of fur
therest northeastern point of the U. S.,
because the short quick season Of Maine
conduces to the hardy and quick growth
of potatoes when planted South. Pan
coast i Griffiths, of Phila., who are
long and experienced in the business,
state that the elevated lands back from
the ocean in Maine, and New Bruins
wick, and in some sections only of No
va Scotia, give decidedly the best salts
faction among Jersey truckers who
plant principally Early Rose because
this variety takes best in N. Y, Bes-
ton and Phila., markets, and it is an
earlier and surer crop when planted
from the lest Eastern (Northern) pure
stock. The above firm is quoted as au-
thority by our Jersey contemporaries In
instancing cases where, planted side by
side at the same time and under the
same condition the seed they supplied
from Houlton (Houlton Rose) came up
and yielded well during hard (either dry
OF too wet) seasons. when other seed ct
the same variety yielded little over the
quantity planted.
