The Cut Direct! I!

1t is related OF that famous arbiter OF
fashion, Beau Brummell, that his former
patron, the Prince of Wales, afterwards
George Nv. feeling aggrieved by the
superciIioLs conduct of the Beau, resolved
TO humble him by the cut direct upon the
first opportunity. The Regent walking
one fair afternoon in st. James street,
accompanied by friend, met the Beau
leaning upon the arm of Jack Lee, one OF
the about-town of the time, To whom
he solely address his conversation, totally
ignoring Brummells presence. The latter
quietly waited until the Regent, who was
extremely sensitive as to his increasing
stoutness, had resumed his promenade and
proceeded a short distance, but not out
of ear-shot, when, half turning so as to be
cure that his words would be heard, he
calmly remarked:
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-01-12
/" Well, Jack, who s
YOurFatFriend?'

The Regent felt himself so fairly hit
that he never after placed himself within
the range of the Beau's cutting sarcasm.

The wandering Stones"

Near the little village of San Jose,
Peru, on the shores of the great lake of
Titicaca, the most lofty lake in the
whole known world. are three pillars of
stone of unequal height. On one of these
huge blocks the rude features Of hu-
man being have been cut, and the other
two are covered with designs of various
kinds, all believed to have some mys-
terious reference to sun worship. Who
the engraver Of these monoliths was or
at what age of the world the engraving
was done is not known, but it is highly
probable that it was done long before
the Americas had ever been seen by
any white men. The stones are so large
as to preclude the idea of their having
been erected by human beings, the best
explanation being that they were depos-
tied by glaciers where they stand. That
the natives have some legend to this ef-
feet is proved by the fact that they call
them wandering stones. st. Louis

Do Trees Require Sleep?

In the larger cities, where shade trees
are few and scattering, electric lights
seem to have no visible effect upon their
foliage. In the towns and villages,
however, many Of which have their cleo
trio light systems, the effect is very no.
ticeable, the leaves appearing as though
they had been subjected to the blight
ing breath of harmattan. The question
was recently discussed at q meeting Of
the eastern abCriculturists, the conolu,
sion being that trees need darkness in
order that they may sleep, and that be-
ing continually kept awake and active
they have been worn out and made
prematurely old by the action Of the
light. That this is probably the correct
solution of the mystery of the dropping
leaves may be judged from the fact that
similar trees in the neighborhood Of
those affected, though not exposed to
the illumination, still retain their color
and seem bright and strong. st. Louis

EVOLUTION OF NIAGARA.
The Estimates as to the Age of the World
Famous Cataract.

The Estimates as to the Age Of the World
Famous Cataract.
Professor J. w. Spencer says the first
conjecture as to the age of Niagara falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1890.
Ellicott believed the falls to be So, 900
years old. About 1841 Lyle estimated
the age of the falls as 80. 900 years. All
of these early estimates were purely con-
lecture, but they were correct in assum-
ing that the gorge had been excavated
by the river. Professor Spencer, in out
lining the progress of the falls, says
that little stream draining the Erie
basin once fell about 200 feet above the
brow of the Niagara escarpment. This
stream was not over one-fOurth the vol
ume of the recent cataract and conse-
quently excavated the gorge at a much
slower rate than at present.
During the early history Of the river
the waters of the three upper lakes
emptied through the Huron basin by
way of the Ottawa river. The height Of
the falls has increased several times.
The first episode, represented by small
river falling 900 feet, lasted about H.
900 years. Then the height of the falls
was increased to 400 feet and took the
drainage of the upper great lakes. At the
same time there was a series of cas-
cades, three in all, the lower gaining on
the upper until finally they were all
united in one great cataract much high
er than that of today.
Subsequently the waters were raised
at the head of Lake Ontario, and the
falls Appropriated to the present condi-
tions after lapse Of 1900 years from
the end of the first episode. The age Of
the present falls is put at 1000 years,
and another 1000 years was probably
occupied by transitional changes of a
very gradual character. It is now 8, 600
years since Lake Huron emptied into
Lake Erie for the first time The land
has risen about the outlet Of Lake Erie,
and if the present rate of change contin-
ues in 5. 900 or 6, 900 years the waters Of
the four upper lakes will be turned into
the Mississippi river drainage at Chi
cago. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

FOR THE WEARY FEET.

Some OF the Evils of Tight Shoes and How
to Cure Them.
A man who has made the human foot
an object Of research and study declares
that short stockings are very nearly as
injurious as short shoes. Hose Of insult
ficient length press the knuckles of the
toes upward, and when the shoe forces
them down the natural result is a pain
full excrescence that vulgar folks desig-
nate as corn.
"But surely you don't consider an ill
fitting stocking the cause of bunions, do
your" I inquired
Zone of them," he replied. "Corns
are the result of pressure. You see, the
blood is forced from the sebaceous
glands; therefore an excessive or unnat-
ural quantity Of oil is thrown off. This
diseases the blood, and the oil forces it's
way to the surface of the toe. AS it
reaches the cuticle it evaporates, leav-
ing the top layer hard. Layer upon lay
er of oil forms downward and deepens
until it presses on the nerves Corns
have no roots. That idea is fallacious
But they cannot be cured until an in
strument goes beneath all those layers
Of diseased oil and removes them. A
soft corn is more easily treated and is
largely the result of acid in the blood.
AFTER a corn has been removed find
out literally where the shoe pinches,
then battle the feet in cold water every
morning upon arising and rub the part
with prepared chalk"
My informant added that for dry feet
always use ice cold water; for moist
feet inclined to perspire freely, the wa
ter as hot as the skin can stand it, and
battle just before retiring If the feet
swell after much walking, put little
vinegar in the hot water; if they ache,
use few drops of ammonia or borax.
Rest the feet often. To do this change
the shoes as frequently as possible. Even
from an old to a new shoe is rest
The muscles of the foot tire of one po-
sition, no matter how easy the leather
or last may be. -Four or five times a
day, if it is convenient, are none too Of
ten to take this trouble, and it's benefits
are astonishing.
Ingrowing nails are the result Of the
corners being cut too close, allowing the
shoe to press against them. This again
requires skilled treatment. The pedi-
cures patronage is becoming as extern
sive as that of the manicure, for, apart
from the treatment of painful excres-
cences, identifying the foot is greatly
in vogue. Preparations to whiten the
skin are in use, and all the art of the
manicure is called upon to assist that of
the pedicure. Some society women can

A STREET CAR INCIDENT.

The car was full, and several people

I want you to know that man you have

The little man let go of the big man,

little man was quiet until he reached
the end of his route, when he left the
car, when he was heard to mutter,
