q mans, while he will be considerably
stronger in the ankle and more power
full in the formation of the toes, espe-
cially of the ball of the great toe.
When a woman owns a strong, firm,
wide foot many of US experience no
sensation of surprise at finding her

along on a delicate little foot people
instinctively believe him to be lacking
in power and often put him down as

free and natural development it is
likely that under such conditions it
might be rendered capable Of perform
ing other functions besides those of
locomotion and sustaining the weight
of the body. Certainly it is, says the
Boston Herald. that some unlucky
mortals born without arms have man
aged to use knife, fork, spoon, pen,
paint brush and even a violin bow.
That the right foot is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at
the same time stronger than the left

for the purpose of inquiring into the
massacre Of the Christians there. For
his services on that occasion he was
nomina ted on his return a X. G. B. He
was under secretary of state for India
from 1864 to the early part of 1866 and
under secretary for war from the latter
date to the following June.
When Gladstone came into power in
December, 1878, he was made chancel-
lor of the duchy of Lancaster and pay
master general and held that Office
until April, 1872, when he was ap-
pointed governor general of Canada, a
post which he filed with such signal
ability After he had been in office
four years Lord Dufferin, accompanied
by Lady Dufferin, made a tour of Brit
ish Columbia, where much discomfort
prevailed in consequence of belief
that the conditions had been broken
on which the provinces had joined the
dominion. Lord and Lady Dufferin
where everywhere received with popu-
lar demonstrations and as a result of
Lord Dufferin's efforts the difficulty
was satisfactorily adjusted. He held
the post of governor general until Oc-
tober, 1878, when he was succeeded by
the marquis of Lorne.
In February following his retire
ment from the governor generalship
he was appointed ambassador at ST.
Petersburg in succession to Lord Au-
gustus Lotus, and two years later
was transferred to Constantinople as
ambassador to the Ottoman porte.
The greatest confidence in his diplo-
matte ability which the government
had delayed up to that time was shown
in 1882, when Lord Dufferin was in
structed to proceed from Constanti-
nople to Cairo, there to assume entire
control of the British relations with
Egypt and the settlement of all ques-
tions growing ont of Arabia's rebel
lion. He left Egypt in April, 1888, and
in November of the year following
proceeded to India as viceroy. In 1883
he was appointed ambassador to Rome
and last year succeeded the late Lord
Lytton at the French capital.
Lord Dufferin has every claim to be
regarded as among the most happily
endowed of his countrymen. In Lady
Dufferin he has wife blessed not only
with the ordinary graces of English
women of birth and wide culture, but
with philanthropic instincts and great
organizing powers, to which the insti-
tutions linked with her name bear elo-
quent testimony in England's great
eastern empire. Lord Du1ferin is now
in the full ripeness of his years and
the maturity of his great powers and
his countryInen have full right to ex-
pect still further services at his hands
before the close comes Of his long Of
fetal career

DUEllNG is NO JOKE.
Lightly Per Cent. of Duels in Europe Re-
suit in Casualties.

SA4SHtS XeT ScnU. OF Due1S IN Europe Ro-
suit ia Casualties.
1t is great mistake to imagine that
casualties are the exception to Eu-
ropean meetings on the field of honor,
says the st. Louis Republic. On the
contrary, they constitute the rule,
their average amounting to as high as
30 per cent. of the duels fought in Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium,
Holland and Spain, while in France
the average is only about 40 per cent.
There were 1000 duels fought during
the year 1890, in which 700 men were
killed outright, 1000 sustained dan
gerous wounds which in many cases
resulted fatally, while no less than
1880 of the remaining combatants re-
ceived minor injuries. That is to say,
out of 5000 principals in 1900 duels
only 400 escaped without harm. The
average is nearly identical in the
other countries above named From
this it Will be seen, except, perhaps. in
France, the chances of escaping seattle
less from duel are relatively very
small.
Another disagreeable consideration
of the affair or honor is the knowl-
edge that, instead of getting hurt or
killed yourself, you may have the
misfortune to inflict a mortal wound
upon your adversary, in which case the
tribunals of the country will generally

months imprisonment and to pay heavy

MARQUIS OF DUFFERIN.
Great Britain's Ambassador at the
French Capital
His Long Experience in tho Foreign serv-
ice Of His Country and tho Posts
He Has Held "A Prince
Among Diplomats.

Lord Dufferin has once more carmel
the title of prince of ambassadors by
the finesse with which he has con-
Quoted the delicate negotiations in
volved in the Siamese difficulty. The
post of ambassador to Paris is consid-
cred the most difficult in the British
foreign service, and Lord Dufferin's
appointment, upon the death of the
late Lord Lytton, was therefore the
highest possible compliment which
could have been paid to his skill as a
diplomatist.
Lord Dufferin once described himself
as ''the maid-of-all-work of the minis
try" And certainly the adninistra-
ton of governments constitutional
and autocratic; diplomatic missions,
special and permanent, to semi-sav-
age races and the most refined and
cultured capitals of Europe; not to
mention the tenure of high minis
terial posts at home, give Lord Duff
FERN some claim to the universally
implied by the term. In every situa-
ton to which he has been called he

reputation for industry, patience and
judgment, for polished humor and re-
fined wit, for tact and finesse, for the
most polite courtesy, as well as for
plain-speaking and open-handed hos
pitality. In return, every honor which
the public service of his country has to
offer has been showered upon him.
Before he became Lord Duffcrin his
excellency was Right Honorable Fred
erick Temple Blaclwood, only son
of Price, fourth Baron Dufferin. He
succeeded to his fathers title in 1S41,
while still in his minority. For some
years he was lord-in-waiting on the
queen under Lord John Russell's first
administration and again in 1S54-5S.
Accompanied by a friend he went
from Oxford to Ireland during the
famine of 1876 and on his return pub
lished an account of his experiences.
In February, 1855, he got his first ex-
perience in the diplomatic service as an
of the mission taken by Lord
John Russell to Vienna. In 1860 he
was sent to the east by Lord Palmer

some arcnBolog1sts say that this
cavern was the work of the worshipers
of the serpent god or Hoa-a race that
has passed into oblivion.
The unlearned traveller knows only
that the mysterious cavern antedates
all history: that the rocks of which it
is built came from the main land. a dis
lance of more than one hundred miles
inland. No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would re-
quire vast labor and skill to bring
these enormous blocks of stone and
place them SO securely as to defy tho
wear and friction of ages.
How were they brought here by men
who had, perhaps, few mechanical ap-
pliances-nothing but the strength Of
their bodies and their faith in strange
god?
The race who built the temple are
dust. Even their names ages ago per
ished from the earth. Their religion
is vanished. These stones are the
monuments Of their indomitable reso.

The human family living on earth
to-day, says an exchange, consists Of
probably more. These are distributed
literally all over the earth's surface,
there being no considerable spot on the
globe where man has not found foot
hold. In Asia, the so-called "cradle Of
the human race" there are now about
100000, 600 people densely crowded, on
an average of about 100 to every
square mile. In Europe there are $780,,

Far out in the Morbihan sea-across
