FEET o A
Many Women Perfectly Formed Except
as to Their Feet.

Louis Xavier, a Partisan sculptor,
now making a tour of America, says
the Globe epaocort, discussed the hui
man form divine. at is not true. rs
the world generally supposes, that
ideal statues are composites. Yes, l
have read that sculptors use a number
of moiels for one statue, copying the
head of one. the bust of another, the
limbs of a third, aud SO on. Some
sculptors may resort to such ridiculous
patchwork, but l imagine the effect
would be far from pleasing.
Perfectly formed women are by no
means so rare as generally supposed.
Not n woman in a dozen las been
seriously deformcd by tight lacing,
and the high-heeled shoes that former
~ played such havoc with shapely
limbs have about gone out of fashion.
Bnt a perfectly formed female foot is
now a rare avis. The world appears
to have adopted the Chinese idea that
the smaller the foot the prettier it is,
aad the result is that perfectly mould
ed feet are cramped and abused until
not a line of beauty is left. Now, any
sculptor, any artist, win tell you that
a foot too small to harmonic with the
figure is al actual deformity. ! would
rather see the foot too large. If it be
sbapely, than too small. Think OF a
Juno who stands five feet seven inches
and tips the scales at $50 pounds tee
tering TO and fro on No. / or No. 2
feet. She should wear a No. 4 at the
very least, and a No. 6 would not be
out Of proportion.
Like the foot, the hand should har.
monte with the body. A little string
of a hand on a lusty Minerva who tow
ers up nearly six feet tall is shocking
10 true artistic taste. Did you V
see a man whose nose was too small
for his face? Well, it is just as aeces
sary that the hand and foot should, b'
in harmony with the figure as that o
the nose should fit the face. Some
day people will learn this, and then a
many people viii e padded shoes al
now limp along in footgear a size to,
small. Madame will then be as mucl
ashamed of a hand TOO small as sh'
now is of one too large"

Old Mary Williams.
Mrs. Mary Williams, who resides
with her daughter, aged SO years, and
her grandson, a middle aged rs in
a weather boarded log cabin, about
IA miles from Evansville, o., is a
remarkably well preserved old lady
who will celebrate her 105th BIRTH
day if she lives until Feb. 9, 1893
Her daughter has as much solicitude
for her welfare as though she were
an infant, and evidently takes as
much pride in her as though she
were her first born instead Of her
mother. The old lady was neatly
dressed in a blue calico and wore a
spotless white cap on her head, while
the bed in the roo was covered vita
a Counterpart and pillow shams of
snowy whiteness.
The old lady complained of a cold
as a reason for not talking much.
Her eyesight was failing her and she
had not been able to knit or to darn
for the past two months. She lives
mostly on corn bread, but she was
able to get whatever she wanted.
She smoked a pipe and a tin box,
neatly covered with gilt paper, hung
from the mantlepiece and contained
the splinters with which she
obtained a light from the fireplace.
She ate whenever she feth like it and
slept when it suited her, Her con-
science evidently does not trouble
her, for she said that she did not
believe she ever did any wrong but
once, and that was when She told IA
girl friend that she had stored.
Visitors did not excite her, for she
had the wolves and bears at the back
of the house to often to be fright
ened at people. She remembers pass
ing through GAINESVILLE to her present
home when there was but one log
cabin in the place.

THE PENSION OFFICE INQUIRY.

Secretary Noble Declines to Furnish Ger
tain Papers to the Committee.
In the pension Office Investigation today
Representative Enloe called the attention Of
the committee to the fact that Secretary Noble
had declined to furnish the papers relating to
the dismissal Of special pension examiners
Mr.. Enioe said he wished to see
the papers because he had reason TO
believe Theodore Smith had preferred unjust
charges against a number of employees. Sec
retary Noble when on the stand had spoken Of
certain matters las more of Smiths work" and
had promised to furnish any papers wanted.
He (Mr. Enloe) took it that the refusal
to furnish the letters desired was because
they would bring out facts that we're not
creditable. Mr.. Enloe asked that the
House be requested TO take action on it
Representative Brosius protested against
any inferences being drawn against the in
tegrity Of any officer Of the government arising
out of his assertion of the constitutional right
to control removals without being answersble
TO Congress.
Chairman Wheeler said Secretary Noble got
his power, not from the Constitution. but from
Congress, which under o clause of the instru-
ment had by statute conferred the power of
appointment Of inferior officers on the heads
Of departments.
The committee adjourned to give the mem-
bers time to look up and consider the legal
questions involved before deciding on Its
