Mistaken in the symptoms

A railroad man, occupying respon-
sible position on one OF our great lines,
according to western contemporary,
was riding on train when collision
happened and his car was knocked into
smithereens. He was picked up as
one dead and was stretched out in some
convenient place to await the arrival
Of the doctors to officially pronounce
upon his condition. By and by ply

trate, motionless form and pallid face,
and said:
'That poor fellows a goner. /
guess"
Then he kneeled down, lifted up an
eyelid, and saw dull expressionless
orb.
Eyes, he's dead fast enough; take
him away" exclaimed the doctor.
The supposed corpse suddenly began
to move Its lips. The startled surgeon
listened, and this is what he heard:

but twenty cents for the work that I had
previously done for not less than twenty
five cents.

There have been many earthquakes
within the period covered by these
dates that have spread over vast ex-
tents of the earth's surface and caused
immense losses of life, but estimates
as to numbers are not given. One in
stance shows how the human race has
been depleted from this cause. In
the kingdom of Naples, from 1888 to
1857, period of seventy-five years,
the loss Of life by earthquakes was
111,000, or at the rate of more than
1000 year out of population of
100000. The country surrounding
the Mediterranean and the inter-tropi-
cal area from which the American
Cordilleras spring, may be regarded
as the centers of earthquake activity,
though some of the greatest earth
quakes of all time have occurred ia
Eastern Asia and the East Indies

How a Cat Falls.

A cat is not hurt by falling because
owing to the power it has of balancing
itself when springing from q height it
almost invariably lands on its feet. The
anatomical structure of q cats back and
spine is extremely flexible, the muscles
of its legs are extraordinarily strong
and numerous, and further it has elastic
pads or cushions consisting of mass Of
fibrous tissue and fat ON all feet, seven
in each forepaw and five in each hind
paw. When it falls from height q cat
nearly always alights on these pads,
which, by reason of their elasticity,
break the force of its fall materially. II
by any chance, however, cat falls on
its back or side 1t Is very easily injured.

GREAT cArAsrRoPHEs.
Loss of Life by Cataclysms and
Earthquakes.


In China, where some of the great
est rivers in the world flow between
artificial banks at an elevation consid-
erably above the surrounding country,
there have been overflows that caused
the destruction of hundreds OF thous-
ands of lives. There have been SINH
lar disasters 10 India, where, as in
China, the rivers had made beds for
themselves with alluval banks higher
than the plains across which they aow-
ed. But aside from these fatal cata-
clysms, of which history and tradi-
ton recall but few, there has not
been within historic periods any dis
aster by water that caused so great a
loss of life as that in Western Penn
sylvania. 1t is now certain that not
less than 10000 or $4,000 lives were
destroyed. No such catastrophe ever
occurred in this country, if we except
the greatest battles of the great civil
war. The destruction of property
also is immense-gpeater, probably,
than that caused by the Chicago fire.
There is no parallel to the immense
destruction of life and property at
Johnstown and in the vicinity. except
in the great earthquakes of the world,
that have buried whole cities, and
caused the earth to open and swallow
the inhabitants of entire areas of
country.
The earthquakes that occurred be-
fore the Christian era are described
in general terms as destroying cities
and depopulating entire countries, but
no estimate of the loss of life is given.
Such is also the case in regard to
earthquakes that occurred after the
Christian era, until the twelfth CEN
fury. There is no earthquake record
anterior to 425 B. c., and but half a
dozen earthquakes are recorded be-
fore that of A. d. 70, which buried
Pompeii and Herculaneum; but there
is no statement of the loss OF life by
that event. In A. D., 543 there was
an earthquake felt by the whole
world. Great earthquakes occurred
in Asia in A. d. 742, the loss of life
'surpassing all calculation. The
earthquakes in which approximate
estimates of the loss of life, exceed
ing 1000 or 5000 are given, are as
follows:

A Chiropodist Has His Saw.

Year before last / had two women
patrons to one man, said a chiropodist.
'sBut last year and so far this year, the
falling off in the former patronage
has been more than one half. But
there has been no decrease in the num-
Der of my male customers. How do !
account for all this? Easily. Fashion
in shoes is responsible for II. A year
and half ago the high, narrow French
heels were the fashion in women's
shoes, and they are the best friends a
chiropodist can have. They are regu.
lar and rapid breeders OF corns. Nc
women can have a pair OF such shoes
long without looking up corn doctor.
But the low fiat heel Is now in fash
ion. If the rest OF the shoe fits the foot,
these heels are the natural enemy Of
corns, and the chiropodist has to suffer.
1t is generally believed that women are
more vain OF their feet than men are OF
theirs, but my experience has shown
me that quite the contrary is the fact.
Men will insist on making their foot lool,
small, and any shoe that will do that
is the fashion for them. The narrow
toed or "toothpick" style of mems
shoes, worn now as much as ever, will
always insure the corn doctor a living.
especially if the shoes are patent leath-
or. A patent leather shoe, for some
rea son, will call corn into being
much quicker than an ordinary leather
shoe.
The fellows who don't have corns
are those who wear roomy-toed shoes.
But they mustn't be too large. A shoe
too large is as bad as une too small.
An over sized shoe makes corns on the
bottom of the feet, and they are the
worst kind. The late war was the
greatest corn-curer ever known. i
never knew Of single case of a soldier
in that war who suffered from corns,
and / was all through it. II a law
should be passed that no shoe should
be worn in this country but the pat
tern army shoe OF the rebellion, the
corn doctors occupation would be
gone. New York Sun.

Human Feet Were Made to waltz.


Were human feet made TO waltz? Al
most every pair of feet recognize the
fact that lively music sets them in mo-
ton. From infancy up the propensity
is to beat time, at least, to the strains of
music that are set to sedate or marching
time. and to begin to gyrate with the
soul inspiring and feet moving waltz.
With some feet it is impossible to keep
them still while the music lasts. There
is nothing wrong or unnatural about
this Even ostriches waltz We are
told that s'this is the funniest thing they
do. The leader of flock starts off by
slowly but gracefully turning round and
round. In five minutes oil his compan-
ions are doing the same, and it is quite
q sight, their long plumes waving in the
wind. The waltz is infectious. Shoe
