HANDY WITH THEIR FEET.
Natives of India Perform Some SurprisIn,
Acts 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 tools 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 ours in its
anatomical conformation. The ankle
of the Hindoo, and the articulation of
the back of the foot permit consider
able lateral motion. Then the toes
possess a surprising mobility. The
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 across at 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-
aiding 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, a
common thing among barbarous and
savage tribes. One naturally thinks
of the resemblance to monkey which
a 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 is
not opposed to the other toes like a
thumb, as occurs with the monkey,
aud accordingly the pedal dexterity of
the Hindoos is not to be taken as an
indication of simian descent.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

THE BEAVER EATER.
Origin of the Fables Concerning the VOL
VERNE .sChIld of the Devil.


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
the morse1 of bait. completely destroy
scores of traps. Hence arose the stories
of trapping the fiend- No deadfall,
snare or spring gun ever injured this
''evil one," and it does not require a
vivid Imagination to trace the growth
of fiction, when we consider the i'm
pulsive coureur 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 charging 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
notifications of the ''deadfall." and re-
quired but limited strength and cum
ming to circumvent-HOrace 7. Martin

NEW YoRk.s FISH MARKET.
A Lenten Scene In the Busy Metropolis 81

a Lenten Scene In the Busy Metropolis OF
the East
In ali New York city there is only
one wholesale fish market 1t has
water and a street frontage adjoining
the Fulton Ferry on the East river side
of the city, and it is directly opposite
the famous old Fulton market This
season of the year is harvest time in
this industry, for when the Lenten
period comes there is rush of fishing
smaclzs from al, along the upper At
lantic coast to the markets dock
Thousands of crates and barrels of fsA
from the great lakes and the far south
arrive; and the early hours OF the morn
ing, especially on Friday. with block
ade of streets for radius of a quarter of
a mile, take on an activity that is sup
posed to exist only in the summer when
the PeSch season is at hand, and the
truck farmers, with their teams and
produce, turn night into day, and
swarm over acres upon acres of New
York's streets
More picturesque is this night mart
in winter than in summer. On the
water side of the market, packed and
wedged close in the dock, are the ice
coated vessels, the steamy vapor of the
river rising in jets in the open spaces
between the smacks and a score or
more of temporary bridges running
from deck to deck and thence to the
piers, over which the fishermen and
helpers, clad in oil-skin garb. rush the
cargoes from hold to market stalls
Some of the catch brought in is alive,
and is sent splashing and squirming
with much confusion, shouting, and
calling, into the tanks that lie in the
river close up to the market Some OF
the catch is dead, frozen, stiff, and this
is quickly transferred to troughs and
slabs and made presentable for sale
On the street side express wagons push
and crowd up in the snow and slush.
and the police have more than they
can do to straighten out the tangle in
the babel of shouting drivers The
horses steam like the river, and the
electric lights shine through a night
haze that is like an oncoming fog
