The colored race docs not increase rapid
ly in New England. Rhode Island is the
only one Of the New England States where
the colored people We're in 1890 over two
per cent of the population. Even there
the eolored population has, according to
the census, fallen off from = ~ per cent
of the population in 1880 to =. II per cent
in 1890. In Connecticut in the same
period, the percentage declined from :. o.
to l.72. In Maine the colored population
in 1890 WAS less than a quarter of one per
cent, a decline for the decade, but Il
Slight, scarcely perceptible gain as com
pared with 1880. The same is true of New
Hampshire and Vermont, where colored
people make up only O. Is per cent. and
0.3O per cent. respectively of the popula-
ton. In Massachusetts they were in 1890,
Los per cent. of the population against
O.91 in 1850. In Massachusetts, as in all
other New England States, however their
percentage declined during the preceding
decade. The census enumerators found
23,57O colored people in Massachusetts in
1890, 1873 in Maine, $50 in New Hampshire,
1904 in Vermont 7641 in Rhode Island and
l., $40 in Connecticut. There is no ndi-
cation of the forcing of the color line in
New England politics in these figures, but
there is, on the other hand, the suggestion
Of a physically decadent race, or at least
one that IS not holding its own in its social
isolation. Philadelphia Telegraph.

by THEIR WALK.
How an Experienced Shoemaker can tell
Good walker.
81. Louis Embellishments !

st. Louis Globe Democrat
A shoemaker says; AS soon as a
man comes into my shop and takes
off his shoes / can tell whether or
not he is a good walker, and it is
astonishing how few men know the
proper way to step out. If the shoe
is worn down at the heel, not OH the
side, but straight back, and leather
Of the sole shows signs Of weakness
at the ball of the foot, a little great
er on the inside just below the base
Of the great toe, l know that the
wearer is a good walker
If, however, the heel is turned,
on one side, or if worn evenly
throughout and the sole is worn
most near the toe, / know that /
have to deal with a poor pedestrian.
The reason Of the difference in po-
sition of the worn spots lies in the
poor walker walks from the knee
and the good one from his hip.
Watch the passer-by ON the street
and you will at once see the differ
ence. Nine men out Of ten will
bend the knee very considerably
when walking, stepping straight
out with both hips on the same line
and the toe will be the first to touch
the ground.
The tenth man will bend his knee
very little, just enough to clear the
ground, and will swing the leg from
the hip, very much as the arm il
swung from the shoulder and no
from the elbow. BY so doing he
calls upon the muscles that ART
strongest to bear the strain, and in
creases the length Of his stride b!
4 or 6 inches. The heel touching
the ground first and not the toe. 4
slight spring is given from the bal
of the foot on making anothers stride
Men that walk in this fashion
cover more ground 80 per cent
faster with the same ,exertion thai
those that walk from the knee. L
pugilism the old rule is to strik
from the shoulder and not from tn
elbow. In pedestrianism it is t
walk from the hip and notfrom tn
knee.
