HANDY WITH THEIR FEET.

Natives OF India Perform Some Surprising
Acts with Their Feet.
In the native quarters of the towns
OF India the strange spectacle may be
seen OF butcher Selling piece of meat
in his hands and cutting 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 cutting, and the wood
turner handles his toeis 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 is prin-
cipally due to the fact that the Hindoo
foot is quite different from oiirs in it's
anatomical conformation. The ankle
of the Hindoo. and the articulation of
the buck of the foot permit consider
able lateral motion. Then the toes
possess surprising mobility. Tho
great toe can be moved freely in all
directions, and the first and second toes
are separated by wide space, some.
times as much as five-eighths of an
inch acros. ut the base of the toes and
two inches at their extremities The
articulation of the hip is also peculiar
and this renders it easier to use the
toes in handling the objects by en-
abling the Hindoo to sit in a squatting
posture much more comforta bly, than
we can do.
A similar formation of the feet and
toes is found among the Annamese,
but it is not, as might be supposed, q
common thing among barbarous and
savage tribes. One naturally thinks
of the resemblance to a monkey which
human being 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 at all like the foot
Of an ape or monkey. The great toe Ia
not opposed to the either toes like a
thumb, as occurs with the monkey,
and accordingly the pedal dexterity Of
the Hindoos is not to be taken as an
indication of simian descent.-Pear.

THE BEAVER EATER.

Origin Of the Fables Concerning the VOL
VERNE "Child OF the Devil.
The trials endured by the luckless
hunter, whose track was once discov.
cred by this monster, are frequently
recounted. Day after day would the
hunter visit his traps, only to find the
ruinous work of his four-footed enemy,
who. not satisfied with robbing the oc-
casional prize, would often, simply for
che morsel of bait, completely destroy
scores of traps Hence arose the stories
of trapping the ient. No deadfall,
snare or spring gun ever injured this
'eril one" and it does not require a
vivid Imagination to trace the growth
of fiction, when we consider the inn
pulsive eoureur de bois, after the toll
of setting his chain of traps and visit
ing them with the result above referred
to, allowing himself to believe that he
was verify beset by the devil, and at
the campfire. or, better still, as the
honored guest of some credulous set
tier, unfolding and enlarging upon his
experiences. These stories, however,
become comprehensive when we re-
member that the track through the
deep snow, beaten by the snowshoes OF
the hunter in his rounds, formed an in
viting highway along which the short
limbed quadruped could freely travel,
while it soon learned that a journey OF
a few miles meant the picking up of a
substantial meal which some kind
friend had carefully placed in sheltered
hooks as if regardful of its wants; for
the traps of those days were mostly

ouired but limited strength and cum

Assist nature q little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or. if need be, with a more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo-
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of a multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their bow
els, they would have less frequent occasion
to call for their doctors services to subdue
