THEY WEAR DIG SHOES.
French WOmen Have Pretty Feet
and Never Pinch Them.

An observant traveller in Paris says,
according to the Chicago News: French
women have the prettiest feet In the
world. presumably because they take the
best care of them. They never dream of
touring their feet by wearing pointed
boots. even though they walk far less
than their English sisters. !. as rarely
happens. their feet are broad and pudgy,
they select a shoe much longer In size
apparent width. Soft kid they choose,
because It is more comfortable to wear
ana can be fitted more snugly than
heavier leather. One place on the foot
IL always tight. and that Is over the in

Says the same traveller: THE average
English woman goes into the shop ana

The result is that the new boots are new

Some men claim that they can tell

the ethics OF the boot, for single womn

small details than are married women.

India's Real SegetarIans.

The Hindoo's meal is simple affair
Every high caste Hindoo is a vegetarian
Your vegetarians here include so many ami
NAL substances that our people stand aghast
when they are mentioned. Your vegeta
rians eat eggs, oftentimes fish, perhaps
geese and lard, perhaps soups and broths vi
doubtful composition. In India the touch
OF egg and lard and fish would be almost al
contaminating as beef itself. Vegetarian
ism simply means butter, milk, sugar
-four, rice, pulses and herbs. Every one
has not the means to buy all this. so the food
that is generally eaten is some unleavened
white bread and stewed pulses or some rice
with curried vegetables.
In Bengal Q do not known under what
precedents) the people generally eat fish,
but In the upper provinces, or in Bombay
and Madras, where Hindooism is more
strict, fish is quite as forbidden as meat.
During the day the Hindoo generally takes
an hours siesta. He gets up at 4 o'clock In
the morning, mind you, and goes to bed
from 8 TO 10 o'clock. lie works all the time
that he is awake-works on week days and
on Sundays, week in and week out. He
has no Sabbath. And as a rest from this
incessant labor he enjoys an hours rest
during the hottest part Of the day.-Ma-
