Very Small Female Feet.

From an Interview in Sc Louis
The craze for small feet is not nearly so pro-
nounced as it used to be, and ladies do not
feel disgraced when they are compelled to
wear a large three or a small four. For years
efforts have been made by artists and doctors
to inculcate taste for larger feet. and to a
great extent they have been successful. The
granatoid sidewalk however. has done more
missionary work in this direction than all the
talking and writing. While one walks on the
grass it is pretty easy to keep the feet small
and comfortable. but few hours tramp
daily on granitoid or granite makes very
small foot impossible and a very small shoe
exceedingly uncomfortable. By careful meas
urement. however, it is possible to make a
shoe which looks q size smaller than it really
is. and this is an art the secret Of which is
not obtained in few days or even years.

New Zealand'S Prosperity Died to Gov
ernment by the People.
The anomalous prosperity Of New Zealand,
Of which recent consular reports to the State
Department bear witness, has invited the at
tention Of social reformers the world over.
Each school Of reformers, finding its hobby
wholly or partially adopted in that wide-awake
country, claims that the good times in New
Zealand are entirely due to the single tax, or
the state railroads, or the factory acts, or
some other one thing upon which the social
welfare solely depends.
The following from a letter written by Ed
ward Tregear, OF Wellington. New Zeaian d,
chief of the department of labor. to J. Wal
dron, of Portland, Ore, and printed in the
New Nation. shows tina: the New Zealanders
have adopted comprehensive programme,
which embraces and harmonizes the panaceas
OF many reformers; an example that the
agitators OF our own country should initiate.
Mr.. Tregear does not allude to the state
farms and artisans village established by the
public authorities, nor to the way the legal
tender paper money broke the power OF the
gold men. but he says:
''Then came time when the bulk OF the
millions OF annual interest on foreign loans,
