Tight shoes are always mistake,
as they ruin the feet they are suppos-
ed to improve; but quite as frequently
mistakes are made in the opposite di-
rection. 1t is not a new idea that
shoes which fit SO loosely that the feet
move about in them with every step
produce as bad results as tight ones;
and it is even asserted, on good au-
thority, that people who Systematically
wear tight shoes never have corns. A
change from tight shoes to very loose

POOR GEORGE KNIGHT.
The Actors Mind Blank and His Work
mis-

New YORK, Feb. 2s.-The action of
Mrs. George S. knight in telegraphing
from Dallas. Tex, to this city. declining
the proposed benefit in her husbands
behalf, has attracted public attention
anew to the once celebrated comedian.
The name of George s. Knight will
never appear on the playbills again.
His race IN the profession has been run;
for his ailment is incurable, end his
mind is almost a blank. 1t is
said that he constantly imagines
that he is Baron Rudolph, the
title character of the play in
which he last appeared, and in which
he made the greatest artistic success of
his life, and that he almost daily re-
hearses the principal parts of the play.
Meanwhile, through stress of circum-
sances, his wife, who faithfully hursed
him through the first stages Of his ill
ness, has been compelled to return to
the boards; although as indicated IN
her dispatch, she still retains her indie
pendence OF character. The arrange
ments for the benefit are too far
gone to allow Of postponement, and
the proceeds will there ore be given to
Dir. Knights aged mother.

Restaurant last night, DR.. G. III. Morris,
of Mcssrs. Worthington & Co., brewers,
of Burton-on-Trent, read paper on
some beer which was discovered walled
up in the cellars of that firm, and which
was brewed in 1898. 1t is believed that
it was cellsred on the occasion
of the birth of some previous
member of the firm. The beer
was tasted by the members of the club,
and pronounced to be sound; it pos
sessed no bitterness but was brilliant,
and its condition was rather of the quail
ity of sherry. The bottles in which the
beer was found have been pronounced
by an expert to have been those in use
at the end of the last century. DR.. Nor

that microscopic examination of the
