Many are compelled to subsist on roots,

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

toes upward, and when the shoe forces
them down the natural result is pain

nate as corn.
"But surely you don't consider an ill
fitting stocking tho cause of bunions, do
you?" 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 of. This

But they cannot be cured until an in

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 bathe 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

year went In to q manufacturing es-
tablishment, the floor space Of which
covers nearly an acre. This concern has
storehouses filed with native and for
eign sticks, from which stock is drawn
as wanted for the shops. The sticks as
they grow are often very crooked and
have to be Strengthened. A heap of sand
is piled on the top of a hot stove, into
which the sticks are plunged until they
become pliable. The workman takes the
crooked stick while it is yet hot and
inserts it in a notch cut in q stout board,
placed at an angle inclined from him,
where he bends and strains it. When it
has become perfectly straight it is
thrown down to cool, after which it be-
comes rigid and permanent in its lines.
The same power which makes a crooked
stick straight is applied to make a
straight one crooked. All the various
kinds of sticks that are required to be
curled or twisted are, by the application
of heat, made to assume ahNt any

KEEP A STIFF LOWER LIP.
II Is the Telltale One, and the Upper Ii
Can Take Care Of Itself.

II Is the TelItale One, and the Upper Lip
Can Take Care Of Itself.
81 can't understand" said a young
lady of observation, "why you men,
who see so much and know so much,
persist in the phrase, Keep a stiff up
per lip. You use it as a sort of pictur-
esque synonym for frmness of purpose
and demeanor, but it has no value as
such. The upper lip is not the weak
member of the two 1t is the under lip
that wants stiffening. The upper lip is
practically expressionless. 1t usually
lies fiat on the teeth, it is nearly always
covered with a mustache-I refer, of
course, to the male upper lip-and in
conversation, especially in correctly
languid conversation, it does not move
at alE Like the Chinese joss, it's a
harmless creature and can be safely let
alcne.
''It is the neither lip that has to be
watched and controlled. I can always
tell when a man is going to propose to
me by the way in which he vets his
under lip and presses it against the up
per for companionship and support,
Just the very things he is seeking for,
And can always tell if man is lying
by peculiar huctuation and pulsation
in this same lower lip. He will look
you right straight in the eye, grow
fierce and drop his voice into his boots
through the weight Of his emotion, but
if there is that twitch about the lower
lip l don't believe him, and I've never
been wrong yet. If man feels deeply,
mean feels sorrow, not affects it, it is
in the tremulousness of the under lip
that he shows it. The sensitive man S
lower lip is seldom still, and there is
sometimes about it positive pulsation
that takes in the whole curve of the
chin. The pout begins in the lower Lip
and is really confined TO it, for the upper
lip is only pushed out by pressure from
below. You can't pout with your upper
lip alone.
in fact, you can't assume or affect
any expression with the upper lip alone.
Just try it. Hold the lower lip firm
with the finger and look in the glass
there. The mouth has become simply q
hole in the face, you see, and SO far as
the expressionful character of the liz
goes it is as if you had lost feature.
eff you want to keep back smile,
it's the lower lip that you must lool
after. Weakness begins there, whether
of character, health or age. 1t is not
the weak upper lip that tells of down
fall. 1t lis the dropping, pendulous lower
lip that shows it. And let me tell yor
something, please, for the benefit of my
sisters who have not had the advan-l
mean the experience that have. Tel
them that whenever they see the lowel

The "XYandering 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

Syllogistic.

Forty years since "Porte Crayon"
was down on Albermarle sound and
told a native that there were men with
mouths eight inches wide. The native
declared that was a fish story. Porte re-
proved him for his incredulity and
pointed out that deductions from known
facts proved this statement. "We
know" he said, "that oysters must be
eaten whole. We know that there are
oysters eight inches across the minor
dimension. Therefore there must be
mouths eight inches wide to take them
in, or the beautiful chain of harmony
in the universe is broken. "--SGn Fran
