The Same John.

Marriage is not transformation. John
will be as cross when he is hungry, as
glum when distraught with business
anxieties, as uncomfortable when his
collar chafes his neck-in . word, as
human and as fallible q John welded as
single. He is q good son and brother,
yet betrothed Mary has heard him speak
impatiently to his mother and tartly to
his sister. He viii, upon what he reck-
ons as sufficient occasions, be both pert
and petulant with his wife when once
the new chy" has worn of. Were this
not true he would be an angel, and
angels do not wear tweed business suits
and Derby hats, or have dyspepsia and
smoke more than is wholesome for nerves
and pocket. Bills are never presented
to cherubim at most ingeniously incon-
venient times, and seraphim have no
natural but thin skinned conceit that
win not brook wifely criticism.-Marion

Minerals Of Utah.

Besides that immense, limitless ma2a-
zine of salt. the Great Salt lake of Utah.
and the precious metals. there are other
curious and valuable deposits among the
mineral resources of Utah, which If
worked would be found almost mex
haustible, and add largely to the wealth
of our country. There are some recently
discovered veins of alum which are
eighteen inches thick and several hun
dred feet in length, of dazzling white
ness, and almost perfectly pure. Nat
ural mineral wax, or ozoEerite, rarity
elsewhere, is found in Utah in great
quantities. It is . perfect insulator, and
would probably be valuable Insulating
material for electrical appliances. Be-
sides this, it is proof against air, acid or
water, and thus would be of value for
many purposes. Gilsonite is a similar
discovery, and contains about 80 per
cent. of carbon or pure asphalt. Beds
of inter have also been found, and guam
titles of sulphate Of soda, blown on shore
from the Great Salt lake at certain tenn
peratures. Hundreds of tons are often
piled up in this way in q single night,
and might be used in producing sal soda
and carbonate of soda, at a very trifling
expense.-Demorest.

CARE loF THE FEET

TAs Anatomy Of the Foos Described by .
TIE purpose Of the foot is for progress
sion and support, says . physician In
The Pittsburg Dispatch. As we 60 down
the scale of animal life We find that the
hind feet always differ from the fore
feet. So it is In man; the hand differs
from the foot. The anatomical construc-
ton Of the foot in many ways bears
close resemblance to that of the hand.
The foot is controlled by muscles which
give US the ability to walk and stand.
These muscles are often attacked by q
disease. such as paralysis, and. as q re-
suit. we have the many malformations
of the foot. This il especially true in
childhood. and, the bones being then
soft. they adapt themselves to the dis
eased muscles. As the child grOws
older the bones harden, and, as q result.
they never can be cured. The destruc-
tioa of these muscles gives to us the fiat
foot and the arched foot. which serve to
distinguish the races. The more arched
the foot the higher and more beautiful
the race. Tie flat foot and projecting
heel Of the cOlOred race are both due to
the action of their muscles.
Small feet are now considered beauti-
full; but it was not always SO, as you can
notice, If you will study the statues Of
OF German goddesses. which show foot
much longer than is considered desirable
in this age.
The great toe in your shoe should be
exactly in line with the axis of the foot.
This must be 50 in order to have grace
full walk. In walking. the heel is raised
while the toes are cramped downward.
When they are incased in leather and q
firm sole there must be some extra room
in order to give freedom of motion.
When the shoe ia tight in some places, it
presses on muscles. and consequently
they are not able to perform their proper
functions. As result, the great toe is
drawn out of q line of the axis of the
foot; some of the muscles are strength
ened and others are weakened. As
another result. the toe will be drawn per-
manently out of this axis and prove to
be the cause Of much trouble with our
feet. The inner side of the surface of
the sole of q shoe should be almost q
straight line and the outer side curved.
The shoes now made curve almost
equally on both sides. and the curvature
Of the toe l. greatly aided by the struct-
urc of tile shoe. 4 shoe is not neces-
sarily advantageous because it is loose,
as some portions Of the foot are able to
stand great pressure, and thus relieve
other portions which are weaker. The
shoe should be loose about the ball of the
foot and about the toes. Different styles
of shoes may be adopted for different
exercises of the foot. Shoes used for
dancing may have higher heels than
those used when walking.
will never take place until some anato-
mist learns the trade of shoemaking and
becomes an artist in that line, SO that he
may have an opportunity of studying
the practical as well as the theoretical
side of the question.

A somewhat remarkable thing took
place in the river just below Evansville,
Ind, last week. A few days since the
steamer Robert b. Carson collapsed and
sank in forty feet of water, together
with thirty head Of cattle confined on
the lower deck. For two or three days
an effort was made to raise the boat, but
the project was abandoned. On Satur-
day morning. however, to the surprise
Of the harbor boats, the pilot house and
hurricane deck of the Carson suddenly
appeared above the water. When a crew
was sent down the steamer was floating
along. upheld by come mysterious
agency. This was subsequently traced
to the cattle themselves, whose bodies
had become inflated by gases generated
in the carcases and actually had lifted
the steamer to the surface. Chicago

Probably the inost conspicious example
today Of how . woman may climb The
dramatic ladder In the old orthodox way
Is Miss Cora Tanner, who has been
starring throughout the country with IN
creasing success for four or five seasons.
She began her theatrical education at the
age Of IA. in J. 81. McVicker's Chicago
stock company, which included at that
time such people a. Charlotte CushmAn,
Lucille Western and Adelaide Nelson.
Miss Tanner was not slow in taking ad-
vantage of her opportunities to study
under those mistresses of the dramatic
art, and her devotion to the simple duties
of the beginner was soon noticed. One
day Miss Cushman called her to her side
and said:
.Child. do you wish to become an act

''Oh, Of all things. Miss Custman."
replied little Cora.
81 see you are attentive" continued
the great tragedienne, after a careful
survey of the girl, land l believe you
have talent. Study! and try to forget
you are pretty"
This warning impressed Miss Tanner
deeply and she never forgot 1t. When
not actively engaged in her profession
she applied herself to the requirement
of those accomplishments which adorn
womanhood. and which are especially
valuable to the actress. To these meth
DDS she owes her success, though it
would be idle to say that her beauty
has not aided her to considerable ex-
tent-New York Tribune.
