OTHER FOLKS, TROUBLES.


Some wise people say that this country
will yet be bankruptsd by the pension
business, or by silver, or b;-something
else, but the present condition of our ma
tional auances II cheerful compared with
that OF some of the European countries.
Italy has been running behind for some
years at the rate of s3a. 600, 900 year and
is bankrupt. Portugal and Greece are In
the same unpleasant condition, and Rus.
sia and Spain are not far from it. 1t has
been generally supposed in this country
that France was all right financially and
that her financial system was about the
best. But n. Leroy Bsaulieu, who
has attained great reputation a. q
prophet of financial disaster, says that
France can't stand the pace shs is going ct
much longer. She has Just refunded her
Al per cents in 8 per cent loan, effecting
thus q saving of $l3, 600, 900 per year, but
her finances exhibit An annually increasing
deficit, which between the years 1881
and 1891 amounted to more than $780,
600. 900 per year. In addition to her MILL
tary and naval expenditures, which are of
crushing weight, the State is bssieRed for
all manner of subventions, for agricultural
credit, co operative societies. pensions for
old age and q great number of similar
outlays, some of which have to be met in
response to an urgent popular demand for
them, not accompanied by any perception
of the additional strain which they impose
upon the States already over.trained
finances. As for Germany, she is not yet
In arrears, but she Is probably the most OPP
pressively taxed country in the world, and
is forced by her territorial situation to keep
up ornaments which cannot be sustained
in permanence by any community.
So there are more uncomfortable places
than homo, sweet home. And the Euro.
peans will probably have to fight soon,

INTERESTING ACTION.

The National Christian League for the
Promotion of Social Purity held meeting
in New York Saturday afternoon and
those present came to some very interest
ing conclusions. They decided to send q
memorial to congress protesting against
allowing Colonel Breekinridgs to retain
his seat. They siso decided to send q
communication to Mrs. Breckinridge, for
merly Mrs. Wing, calling upon her, In the
name of womanhood, to renounce her
husband and to refuse to live with him
longer. In addition to this, they voted to
call upon the Prssbytsry with which Col
onel Breokinridge 10 connected, asking to
have the congressman expelled.
This action was taken upon the motion
of Mrs. CLARK Bell, who IL president of the
Women's Health Protective association.
The plan will not be carried out until the
trial is over, but the adoption of 1t shows
plainly enough that whatever the verdict
of the jury may be the National Christian
has already found him guilty. It will be
very interesting to see how the plan
works. 1t will be especially Interesting to

The Use OF the Toes.

According to an eminent medical
authority, it has recently been as
serted that the human being has little
or no independent use of the toes. The
medical scientist who is said to be re-
sponsible for such a remarkable state
ment is taken quite sharply to task for
his assertions, and the subject has been
up for discussion in foreign medical
journals. Possibly English toes are less
useful than American, for certain it is
that there are many persons in our
communities who are quite handy, so
to speak, with these members. One
woman frequently picks up articles
with her toes, finding this preferable
to STOPPING, and she does it with the
utmost ease. A girl can almost sus-
tain her own weight ~ clinging to a
rope with her toes. Another can spread
her toes apart and give sharp pinches
when she closes them. A small boy,
who could not climb out upon the
limb of a cherry-tree to reach the
coveted fruit, as the limb would not
bear his weight, extended himself up
on one above it and letting his feet
hang over. pulled the small branches
with his toes and transferred them to
his hands almost as readily as he
might have passed them from one
hand to the other. As to the part the
toes play in walking, it seems to go
without saying; that persons who have
not injured the feet by the use of ILL
fitting or too small shoes are largely de-
pendent for elegance of carriage upon
the elasticity and muscular strength
of this portion of the feet.-N. Y.
