manding eminence on the edge of tho old
cemetery ut Hingham, Mass, and Is locally
known as 1.-THE Old Ship Its preservation
is due to the fact that it was built of thorough

located in favorable place.
bingham is in what was called the "Old
Colony settled by English Puritaus in lG35.
Down to the late war there was an older
church In Virginia, but it was destroyed by
fire. The English settlers in the "Old Col

that every congregation of the "Old Colony"
made up of descendants Of the Puritans. took
the same course. They are all now Unitar-

The old church has had all eventful but
unbroken history from its erection in 1851,

reports of oil his suLordinates, and rarely

going, and in tho midst of it sat Grant in
his light bluo, undres: soldiers !ovcrcoat,
with broad -brimncd hat on and cigar in his

maps, OIL which he traced day by day, and

The roof and three sides of the building are

been carried away by relic hunters. One

2-SHER1DAN'6. DIG 1o1kuuc.
The outline OF another notable foot Is here
sen. 1t is that Of Gen. Philip Sheridan, and
you eau see by the way 1t turns In at the toe
that its owner ives horseman Of long practice
The foot is short and chubby like the man
who used it. The muscular development is
quite noticeable at the heel and ankle. The
toe is square and the ball broad, indicating
some of the characteristics noticeable in that
OF President Lincoln's foot The length Of
the foot would indicate size No. 6, but
owing to the chubby development OF the foot
none other than No. could be worn with
ease, and, as Gen. Sheridan showed his good
sense by insisting upon lots OF room for his
pedals, Il No. ~ was the size he usually Sc
lected. The instep was high and finely arched.
Gen. Sheridan wore none other than broad
toed lace shoes.
John Sherman has foot quite similar in
general outline, except that its beauty Isl sone-
what marred by the presence of corns and
bunions. Mr. Sherman's foot is considerably
longer than that Of Gen. Sheridan, but that
is to be expected, as he Is a taller man Its
size Is 81, aud the covering pair OF button
CATERS, with broad toes and square heels.
Next comes foot which many Americans
hope some day to see in an Irish parliament
at Dublin that Of the Hon. Charles Stewart
Parnell Notice the breadth at the ball,
which backs up the wedge shaped toes, that
II they ever get an entrance never let 60. The
narrow heel and instep indicate man tall,
but of good "staying" qualities The fnstep
Is high and arched. Mr.. Parnell wears No.
gs. which are really too big for him. but very
comfortable. AS though it were habit
born Of desire, he wears only congress shoes.
It Is a mistaken idea that small feet indi-
cate refinement or ''hlue blood" We have q
notable example Of this in the royal family
Of England, though they can trace ancestral
descent from royal blood for several centu-
rieS They are famous for being the possess
ors of large feet. Queen Victoria wears 8's,
the Prince OF Wales Us, Princess Louise IS,
and Princess Beatrice 41fs. It Is true that
manual labor may In degree be responsible
for the development Of the foot. It may
make the small foot broader and the large.
foot larger, but In nearly every instance the
foot Is in proportion to the frame. Tho tall
man Of bony build will have large feet,
whether he sits upon throne or performs
manual labor. OF course there are some few
exceptions, as there are to almost every rule.
A large, aeshy person Is more apt to have q.

type of vigorous, earnest, self reliant man
hood
There, too, is the cloth boot--the dear, old
comfortable supporter Of healthy, hearty age;
the life Of the lreside, as it rests coziy IN Its
corner of the fender, on which the Grandchil-
1ren delight to ride to Banbury Cross Its
step is We'll known in the aisles of the village
church and to the ears of the sick and desti
tute; itself pedestal Of how great weight
of experience and goodness, of thoughtful
kindness and hospitality.
There is the cowhide loot. How it tells Of
q ploliing, thorough honest life, devoid of the
finer touches and luNuries Of life, yet its
very element is sguuleness. This boot, with
its wearer goes through life fearlessly, not
afraid of being contaminated by hard labor
nor IA rough liie's journey, as is the case with
the dainty patent leather.
Who shall say there is no character in q
boot4 Why, shoeology beats phrenology out
and out. Note the sloven with his laces
hanging, threatening his downfall at every
step, heels run over as though, disgusted with
the wearer, they sought an opportunity to
slide out from under him and desert him, as
the friends of every unsuccessful man are
wont to do at the time OF need. To read
character by the footgear, one must not only
note the condition and style of the shoe, but
LIKE lollte Ok Lue SeAeIAl appear
nnce of the shoe and the outline of the foot,
just as the phrenologist reads character, not
by the individual bumps, but by the general
shape and formation Of the head.
AS an indicator OF character We have
notable example i'll the outline Of Abraham
Lincolns foot. Its length and breadth indi
cate man tall and muscular, but devoid OF
surplus flesh. True. it is distorted by the
presence of numerous co-ns and bunions, but
these very corns tell US much OF the man.
They speak Of time in his life when his sur
roundings were not in accordance with his
finer nature; moreover, they indicate per-
severance and will that would not low SO
small a matter as all aching foot to deter or
battle the onward course Could We rid this
foot of its contortions we would find it
square toed, broad at ball, fine line at instep
and heel, just tho foot to indicate determine
ton, strength OF character, high aims and an
unbending will, but we have no thought of
so doing, for we honor tho corns by tho early
hardships that brought them.
The only instance, in America, where the
making Of q pair Of shoes brought fortune
to the shoemaker may be mentioned In con
nection with this outline. President Lincoln
had long been troubled with Ill fitting shoes,
and often was compelled to remove them
in the presence Of notable people, as he said,
ITO give his feet chance to breathe" Soon
after his election, in 1850, Scranton tPa.)
shoemaker named Peter Kahler obtained an

FROM ENGLAND TO FRANCE.


Plans OF tho Great Bridge Proposed Over
tho English Channel.
Onse more the subject Of a solid roadway
across the channel from England to France
is agitating the engineers of both countries
Some thirty years have passed since the
project was first put before the people, only
to be laughed at. Again it was brought be-
/ fore them and seriously discussed. Then In
terest in it died out and tunnel under the
channel was projected The British took one
OF their regular panics of a French invasion,
aud the tunnel project was condemned Now
the bridge idea is revived.
The bridge would BIO twenty-four miles
long, resting upon lis piers, and between
these piers would be spans from 800 to 800
feet long and rising 200 feet above high tide.
Ten years are calculated as the time required
in which to do the work, and the total cost is
placed at sl72 ,000,O 600. An International
company under the presidency Of NJ. Leon
Say has Mt last been formed to study the
tunnel question and agree if possible upon in
ternational plans. Five years ago, however,
the Channel Bridge and Railway company
was organized at London and Paris, with a
capital for investigation and survey OF about
s1,00O,0OO. Its president Is NJ. do Gay du
Palland, and among its members Is the Hon.
Philip Stanhope, member Of tho house Of
commons. This company has consulted the
most eminent authorities upon the feasibility
Of the operation.
Distance is only one point to he considered,
There is tho infra-structure as well as the su-
perstructure. There Is the nature OF the bot
tom Of the channel to be considered. Hence, the
line adopted starts from the French coast at
point near Cape Grisnez (gray nose) and
reaches tho English coast at Folkestoue, thus
passing over two submarine banks The dis
tAncc is twentyfour miles, and the line is not
straight, but deviates at two points In order
to keep the foundation upon the banks and
avoid deep water. Thus through the entire
course of the bridge the infra-structure will
be upon solid Or chalky debris bottom, which
Is ample to sustain the great weight required.
The greatest depth is 1so feet, and it is in
sinking md placing the caissons that the
highest engineering skill will be required.
