The Big ToeLi Peonle.

The strangest of all the Indo-C Chi
nese races, the ancient Gioa-Chi or
Big Toed race, is called in our geogra-
phies THE Anamese. This extraor-
binary people are about the ugliest
and worst built of all our semi-civil-
lied Asiatic cousins. They are much
shorter than the Malays, darker
skinned, with lower foreheads, less de-
veloped skull, a fatter nose, larger
mouth, thicker lips, blackened teeth,
gums often destroyed by the use of
betel nut prominent check and Jaw
bones, so that the face is lozenge
shaped, short neck, shoulders slipping
abruptly, and seesawing sort of gait
when walking. But the most curious
development of all is the big toe. It
is large, broad and fiat; moreover, the
distance between that member of the
foot and the other toes is SO great that
the Chinese SO long ago as 1857 B. G.
gave them the name of Gioa-Chi, or
the Big Toed race,
This curious physical formation is
such that it quite marks them from all
other Asiatic peoples who walk bare
footed; and, strange to say, that
though more than forty centuries have
passed since this popularity was first
noticed by Chinese travellers, and in
spite of frequent intermarriages with
other races, the Anamese have trans
mitted, without the least perceptible
modification, this formation Of the
foot to their descendants today; which
facts, according to some ethnologists,
serve to prove that the Anamese are
not descended from the mingling OF
indigenous races, but rather that they
have existed for an immense period OF
time as distinct and peculiar race

The crar N,cholas Of Ru.u,a.

The Gar Nicholas was, in fact, the
last real autocrat in Europe l count
it among my most instructive expert
ences and recollections to have OBJ
tanned living picture of the most re-
markable man of my time, which l
was able to supplement and complete
from time to time by means of numer-
Gus connections with relatives common
to us both. In the person OF the EN-
peroT Nicholas all vague distractions
of state, church and nationality van
ished. One looked at him and per-
ceived that all the force expressed in
these terms waS concentrated in his
person. Apart from him nothing ex-
isted or seemed capable OF existing.
He stood tangible, but by no means
terrible; on the contrary, handsome
and lordly, attractive and seductive,
self assured, bold, and like a kind of
religious guardian spirit before an
adoring world And yet this colossal
appariton of an absolute ruler proved
on closer examination to be mere out

and red tape. He looked both the
statesman and the general in so
marked degree that his complete
capacity to fill either role seemed to
every one a foregone conclusion.
That and everything else he effected
by means Of the grand spirit born
within him, which was ex pressed in
the phrase, ''Nimbus of the Autocrat. !"
He was better capable of maintaining
this in the most brilliant style than
any of the empcrors and kings of his
time. But with equal ability he man

his feelings certain air Of bonhomie,
which corresponded to his change of

the art of putting one out of counte-

Home and the State.

tract between two parties and the state.
Because of the children the state is
said to have a special concern in the

supposed Tho state haGea concern in

Norwegian Fences.

Even so commonplace thing as q
fence gives character to the landscape.
This is matter of importance to all
who are interested in making country
places and country life as attractive as
possible: The fences of Norway, as
described, must be an ugly blemish
upon the face of the country.
Two thick stakes of pine, from seven
to eight feet long, are driven firmly
into the ground within an inch of each
other, and repeated at intervals of four
feet.
Smaller sticks are then placed in q
slanting position between the uprights,
which serve as grooves to keep them
in their place, and they are still fur
ther secured by their being bound TO-
gether with twigs of osier.
When completed, it makes so com
pact fence that weasel could
scarcely put his nose through. They
cannot, however, boast of combining
the ornamental with the useful, hav.
ing a gaunt, monotonous look, which
made us long to see them replaced by

Nautical SURVEYS.

Tidal observation and current obser-
walton form proper parts of ordinary
nautical surveys, The purpose of such
observations is the Immediate and
direct one of aiding navigation; hence
the selection of stations, and the char
acter and extent of the observations,
viii be made to accomplish this pur-
pose. If, however, the tidal observa-
tons are made for obtaining data
whereby the theory of the tides may
be perfected, if the current observa-
tons are made to discover the general
laws OF oceanic circulation and their
results, then these considerations will
lead to O choice of stations and
methods and amount of observation,
which gives promise OF best serving
that purpose. Science.

A Legal Amulet.

The plea Of insanity as a defense in
criminal actions is becoming pretty
threadbarc, but a device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably Nowadays it is
the fashion to claim that the criminal
in an action, whether it be theft, black
mail, murder, or what not, is the vic
tim Of q sunstroke. Apparently sun
stroke is tho most convenient thing a
person can possibly have. 1t allows
him to continue his ordinary course of
life uninterruptedly, but confers upon
him the privilege Of doing anything
his vagrant fancy may suggest quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric-
tons
The Irishman whodescribed 'tchild
of fancy" as o child who did whatever
he fancied doing was not very far out
of the way in describing the condition
of man who has been SO fortunate as
to have sunstroke. That lucky ac-
cident places him above responsibility.
A man in g western city amused him
self recently by firing 8 revolver into
crowd, wounding three persons, one
of them fatally. A physicians GER
tificate was produced stating that,
owing to the effect of a sunstroke re-
ceived in India, the prisoner was at
times irresponsible for his actions. OF
course, there was nothing to be said
after that, and even the idea of shut
ting the man up seemed to his intel
ligent and impartial judges q super
fuous procaution. H was allowed to
go at large on the strength Of his lucid
intervals, the inference being that the
officials themselves were not troubled
by anything of that sort.
1t would not be difficult to multiply
instances, although It's hardly neces-
sary; whoever has thought of the
matter must have recognized the con
vincing nature Of the argument from
sunstroke when properly applied to
the average jury, TO one who has
any inclination toward disregard Of
the laws sunstroke would seem to be
of the greatest possible benefit, It Isl
thing, moreover, SO easy to have, SO diff
ficultto disprove and SO admirably fex-
ible in its effects, that it would seem a
matter of the most obvious policy for
whoever is likely ever to find himself at
variance with authority to provide
himself with certificate OF sunstroke
at once. Boston Courier.

PUTTING ON LADIES' SHOES.
A Dealer Discu sses the Question of Male
and Female Clerks.

a ASeaier Olscu eSeS the Question OF Male
and Female Clerks.
The introduction Of women as clerks
in shoe stores was begun as an expert
ment a few years ago, and considerable
interest in the success of the scheme
has been manifested by the shoe trade.
The experiment may now be regarded
as success within certain limits, but
it appears to DO equally sure mat the
female clerks will never entirely drive
out the men, even from the depart
ments for women's and children's
shoes.
An experienced clerk in a we'll
known uptown establishment said re-
Gently to Tribune reporter that the
tendency among large dealers now is
to employ both men and women, and
then lot the customer choose for her
self between the two. 1T is purely a
matter of taste, said the clerk, and
should say even that it depended on
the customers mere whim. Some
women profess to be shocked at the
immodesty of having a man put on
their shoes for them; but on the other
hand many of the most refined ladies
in the city always insist on having a
man serve them. and there will al
ways be this same demand"
And what is the cause of this pref
erence?" asked the reporter.
SIMPLY that man can fit a shoe to
the foot better than q woman can.
The majority Of women wear tight
shoes, even those who have no claim
to place in the world of fashion, and
it takes strong hand and arm to get a
tight shoe on customers foot easily.
Most women are too weak in the wrist
for this sort of work, and they will
toll and struggle SO over the task that
many customers become completely
disguised. and learn TO avoid a store
where there are no male clerks to wait
on them. a man by superior strength
and dexterity will force shoe two
sizes too small on a woman's foot with
comparative ease, and she will leave
the store conscious of having secured
small shoe that is perfect fit.
And low about the question of
modesty9"
Well, shoe store is good place
to study the vagaries of prudes Un-
duly sensitive women do find it an
ordeal to have men wait on them, and
for such cases the female clerk is a
business necessity Most women, how
ever, are not SO sensitive, and as for
the male clerks themselves, they would
always rather wait ON a man than on
a woman, any time. A very young
clerk sometimes feels that he has got
pretty near heaven when he is directed
to assist handsome young woman in
getting satisfactory foot gear, but the
novelty soon wears off. Women are
so much more particular than men,
especially in the matter of shoes, that
it is by no means coveted privilege
to wait on them One annoyance to
which ladies are not now subjected in
the larger establishments is the inn
pudent staring of dudes and other cal
low youth who used always to spend
half an hour trying on shoes them.
selves, whenever they went to a shoe
store, just to get glimpse of pretty
ankle now and then. Now separate
rooms are provided for the ladies, but
the male clerks will never be entirely
banished from these sacred precincts

Tricks in Photography.

There are various ways for provid-
ing surprising results in photography,
things that In one age would have
been called magic, but in ours recog-
nized as scientific tricks The ghost
picture, for instance, in which a
shadowy ghost-through which ma
terial objects are visible-is seen be-
tween natural attitudes and occupa-
tons. This is produced by an almost
instantaneous exposure of the figure
that is to do duty as the ghost, fol-
lowed by full exposure of the figures
and properties that are to appear natu-
rail-, Another novel trick was shown
recently in a photograph reproduced
by prominent trade journal, which
presented the photographer, seated st
a table, playing chess with himself
seated on the opposite side Of the ia.
BILE, while he himself stood up in the
background looking at his two selves
playing.
: The figures were all ON the negative,
which was produced by three success
sive exposures of the plate, parts there
of being masked each time by black
velvet shutter Still another trick Is
that by which person who liked that
sort of thing may appear to be photo
graphed riding upon flying goose or
a fish, or any other desired style of
ridiculous locomotion. This is done
by the subject holding upon his lap a
huge piece of white or sky tinted card,
with the fNnciful figure drawn upon it.
His face appears above the upper edge
of the card, and seems, in the picture,
joined to the funny little body mounted
on the goose or fish. The statue pic
ture is made by about the same device.
