TEACH GIRLS HOW TO RUN.

A Sure Way to Disarm Masculine Ridi.
cule of Present Inability.
Women who nave grown tired of the
masculine ridiculc Of their running,
when there is occasion for them to
run, can not do better than to have
their daughters take a coure of exer-
else that shall spare them such NORTH
cation, since at one time or another in
life it may become necessary for all
people to run. To this end exercise in
a gymnasium is most desirable, begin
ming with gentle calisthenics and go
ing on with bars and trapeze and ring
and ladder, avoiding the heavier work,
the abrupt pulls upon the strength, or
any o violent force of movement,
thus increasing gently the breathing
and the sndori6c power, quickening
and cleaning the blood and eliminat-
ing a world of refuse through the skin.
In the gymnasium the girl will be
taught to run SO that her movement
in her light skirts becomes a far more
graceful thing than the running of her
brother when he seems all legs. But
her exercise need not stop at the gym

with not too late hours And few
things develop the shape better or pro-
duce grace of movement than
fencing does. calling upon the muscles
and c~ultivating readiness. quickness,
caution and resolution at the same
time. Swimming. although it leaves
no single muscle untried, is n less
desirable form of exercise, be-
cause he temptation there is to

declare that no form of exer-
else makes the body feel afterward
SO much as IL it had wings and could
soar in outer ether. But it should be
taken gently. and il the swimmer is at

towel should take its place.
After any of this order of exercise.
when the first glow has passed, there
should be a quick bath and n cold
water douche, which prevents taking
cold. Other forms of healthy exertion
are still to be found in walking and in
domestic work. But il shouli be un-
derstood, by the way. by those who de-
sire to rid themselves of superfiuous
flesh, that walking is of little use for
that purpose unless it produces per-

SkiLLFUL TOES
The Hindoo Finds Ills Fee; Quite as Use
FIJI a. His Hands.

s" .'o
FIJI a. Ills Hands.
An interesting study of the curious
ability possessed by the lIindoos to use
their feet and toes in various industrial
occupations has bccn made by NJ. Felix
Regnault. In the native quarters of
the towns of India the strange spec
tacle may be seen of a butcher Selling
a piece of meat in his hands and cut
ting it in two with a stroke of his knife
held between the first and second toes
of his foot The shoemaker uses no
last. but turns the unfinished shoe with
his feet while his hands are busy in
shaping it. So the carpenter holds
with his great toe the board he is cut
ting. and the wood turner handle his
tool as well with his toes as with his
fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in their labor is not, however,
the mere result Of practice, but as NJ.
Regnaults Investigations prove, is
principally due To the fact that the
Hindoo foot is quite different from ours
in its anatomical conformation.
The ankle of the Hindoo, and the ar.
ticulation of the back of the foot, per.
init considerable lateral motion. Then
the toes possess a surprising mobility.
In great toe can be moved freely in
all directions, and the first and second
toes are separated by n wide space,
sometimes rs much as five-cighths of
an inch acros at the base of the toes
and two inches at their extremities.
The articulation of the hip is also PEE
culiar. and this renders it easier to use
the oes in handling objects by enabling
the Hindoo to sit in a squatting posture
much more comfortably than we can
do.
A similar formation of the feet and
oes is found among the Annamese. but
1t is not, as might be supposed, a COM
non thing among barbarous and savage
tribes. 1t is not found, for instance, in
the South American Indian, the Negro.
the Fuegian or the Arab.
One naturally thinks of the resem-
blance to a monkey which a human be-
ing using both feet and hands in the
manner described above must present,
and yet NJ. Regnault is careful to point
out the fact that the Hindoo foot is not
ut all like the foot of an ape or a
monkey. The great toe is not opposed
to the other toes like a thumb, as oc-
ours with the monkey, and accordingly
the pedal dexterity of the Hindoos is
not to be taken as ar indication of
simian descent-Youth's Companion.

Phase of the Phenosnena Preseated by the
Natural so~mnambulist.
The phenomena of natural
bulism, or sleep-walking, have been OBJ
from time immemorial, and
have always pee looked upon as one
of the most wonderful and interesting
subjects in the domain of the old
psychology.
In this state the subject, while appar-
emily in ordinary sleep, arises from his
bed and proceeds sometimes to perform
the most ordinary, everyday actions
cooking n dinner, washing clothes,
saving wood, or going out to a neigh
boring market town to transact bus
mess. Sometimes, o the other hand,
he does the most unusual things; he
performs perilous journeys in danger
GUS n unfamiliar places in perfect
safety and with unusual ease-some-
times intellectual work of n difficult
nature, such rs had bafied the student
in his working hours, is easily accom-
plished, and he finds the solution of
his mathematical problem or the
needed point in his argument all
plainly wrought out and pre-
pared for him when he goes
to his desk the following morning:
moreover, il the work from any cause
should be interrupted. and the same
conditions upon the following or
some subsequent night. it may be re-
sumed at the point where it was inter
rupted; or If the somnambulist talks, as

Sometimes all these different actions
are accomplished without light OF with
the eyes fast closed. or else open and
staring, but without vision. Some
times, however, the new personality
developed in the sleep of the sonombal-
ist fails to come into proper relations
with his surroundings, when he may
also fail to accomplish the dangerous
journey and may walk from an open
window or an unguarded balcony with
