TO HAVE LITTLE FEET.
It Ii Not Impossible With Care and Prop


It Is Not Impossible with Care and Proper
Boots.
It is safe to aver that there is no more
important part of the toilet than that
which concerns the feet, although it
seems usually to receive the least con-
sideration. Why so little care should
be deemed necessary in the treatment
Of those useful appendagcs, whose duty
it is to labor SO arduously, is difficult
to determine; but the fact remains
that the average woman takes little or
no thought of their delicate construc-
ton until they begin TO rebel-as they
must sooner or later-against their
long continued abuse.
Poets have sung and novelists have
rsved about the dainty feet of their re-
spective heroines until we have come
to regard small feet as irrefutable evil
dence of refinement and aristocratic
birth Fallacious reasoning, indeed. is
this, and responsible for an incslcula-
bic amount of self-infieted torture,
silently endured for the sake of that
most potent OF human vices-personal
vanity.
The desire to possess small and pref
" feet is as natural to the usual run of
women as the air they breathe, but %
seek to obtain by artificial means what
nature has denied seems unworthy
reasoning being. And vet It IS the rule
and rot the exception TO so squeeze and
compress these unfortunate pedal ex-
tremities that they become source of
constant pain and annoyance, instead
of serving the purpose for which they
were originally intended So extern

creseences is rarity in the world CO

Doctor Galaplus.

Set up on the corner of house, at
the juncture of two streets at the old
North End of Boston, is bust of Es-
culapius. For many, many years it had
been the visible sign that there is q
drug store below. Some time ago two
visitors to the city went prowling
about this ancient and historic ground
once so aristocratic and now so squalid,
and they came upon the tirne-worn
bust, for the presence of which they
were not prepared. Still It seemed to
them noteworthy, and they went into
a shop to ask about it. The clerk was
most obliging and courteous 80,

Although we realize that the classic
model is no recognized standard OF
beauty, it is possible to preserve the
natural contour of the foot and still
render it lovely to modern eyes We
marvel at the cruelty of the Chinese
mother. who arrests the growth of her
ba by's feet by encasing them in splints
and bandages, but we ignore the fact
that the western mother is but shade
less cruel who thoughtfully permits
| her growing daughter to wear a shoe
that is too small, or that is in no sense
adapted TO the shape of her foot.
Too much attention cannot well be
| given TO the footwear of young girls,
since much of the comfort of their after
| life depends upon the care which they
receive during their early years
Ready-made shoes should be studiously
avoided. for in the majority of cases
| they are constructed upon lines diamet-
really opposed to natures plan, while
individual peculiarities can, of course,
receive no consideration whatever.
| The sole OF the ancient sandal NAV be
taken as model of the required shape
since it follows all the graceful curves
Of the foot and allows free play of all
the muscles
The danger attending the use of i'll
fitting shoes, as we'll for grown persons
as for children, cannot be overesti-
mated. II the foot is naturally large
it is the most arrant fol ly to attempt
TO reduce its size, since compression Ia
inevitably followed by more or less
serious deformity, while not infre-
quently it is attended by disease Shoes
that are sharply pointed at the toe
should be avoided by wide-footed wo-
nen, for not only is the result-viewed
from whatever standpoint-undeniably
ugly. but the shoe will always spread
or split after it has been worn a few
times. High heels, too, tend to per-
manently widen the ball of the foot,
owing to the full weight of the body
being thrown forward, while they are
a fruitful source of enlarged toe Joints
and ingrowing nails, to say nothing of
greater and esser evils.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
no large or irremeGiably ill-shaped foot
should be encased in a colored or other
wise snowy boot. In this case black
should be adopted upon all occasions,
and always in the softest an NEST pill
able of fabrics. Aggres sive decoration
in any form will invariably attract at
tention to the size or defor nifty of the
foot and should Their efore be avoided.
Long skirts, though disadvantage in
many instances, are decidedly advan-
tageous in this, inasmuch as they can
always be relied upon-particularlv if
they are well weighted and befounced
to 'cover a multitude of sins IN.

Sterling Exchange Market.

New York, Feb. 27.-The sterling ex-
change market today showed small volume
OF business. the tone was fairly firm at
slightly lower rates, both demand and
long bills selling at concessions of about
Is pence from yesterdays figures The
inquiry was good, cieffy by foreign houses
who have been sellers of the stocks in
this market for the London account. There
has been an attempt to create the i'm
preston that there is some danger of
gold exports owing to the fact that eX-
change is approaching the shipping point,
but II has borne no fruit as there is a
firm belief in the street that the bond
syndicate has the market well in hand.
At current exchange rates gold cam
not be shipped proftably as the bond
syndicate is in a position to draw freely
in order to meet any hardening tendency
that may become apparent. One of the
syndicate has been a free drawer and
the syndicate is prepared TO draw literally

Wheat--Oats Follows Corn.
Chicago, Feb. 27.-Wheat jumped I'D
and down nervously within - cent
range today, but realizing on the adj
Vances finally closed the market with IA
cent loss for May. The corn market
followed. May is Il cent lower, MAY
oats Il cent lower and provisions at
light declines
Wheat opened steady and about I'M
changed. The arrival of two cargoes
OF wheat at New York from Portland
Oregon, caused some temporary weak
ness, but other items of the early news
OF an opposite character gave the price
e sharp upward turn. Cablegrams
from Paris reported that market firm
and advancing, and the weather con-
tinuing unfavorable. Liverpool wired
that the market here was strong
because of a demand from France for
OF coast cargoes, and the effect of that
here was to raise the price Of May rap
Idly from 537s to 545s cents, the latter
belnS a higher rate than has been real
1zed before for month. The first
trading, lasting for about five minutes
was at from 531s cents to 53A cents.
The effect of the French cables was
dispatches arrived saying that the re-
ceiVers of the bullish dispatches from
France were sellers in New York. There
Were exports from country points in
Missouri and Illinois TO check the bull
1sh enthusiasm as they described the
appearance of the wheat plant as it

ing uninjured and healthy. A reaction
to 81 cents followed the latter news
Receipts at Indianapolis and Duluth
were 335 cars against APO a week ago
and 269 on the corresponding day of the
year before. Primary market receipts
all told were $4,000 bushels. The ex-
port clearances Of wheat and -four from
Atlantic ports amounted to 324 900 bush
els. The closing cables being firm and
the inquiry for wheat for export at the
seabOard reported good, the market
here began to firm up again in the af-
ternOon.
Corn was firm for five minutes or so
81 the morning, but ruled easier later
and gave but slight response to the
midday strength in wheat Toward the
close the close it was rather weak al

ing was fairly active but on all the firm
spots there appeared to be long corn
for sale. May started at 4515M$s cents,
sold down to ass cents and closed at
45B@A cents.
Trading in the oat market was rather
limited, with range of only 4 cent in
Naues. Shorts were reported to have
bought in some stuff early, but all other
sales Were scattered. May sold from
291s cents to 1895 cents and between
these two prices all day. AT the end "a

The provision market was in the main
inclined to weakness and closed finally |
at declines OF ~ cents on pork and |
cents on lard and ribs. Some offers of |

Realizing Sales--Bonds Quiet but Firm
| the Stock market today was irregular

| the declaration of a dividend of only 1
| per cent instead of per cent as was
! anticipated. A break of ga per cent
was made, the stock touching IS per
| cent before any supporting orders were
| found. Then came rally to 59A per
cent, which was the closing price. The
common stock fell off q per cent, clos
ing at recovery of Il per cent. The
| general market was fairly well held up
/ TO II o'clock, at which time most of the
shares dealt in had recorded an improve
| ment. Then came sales to realize pro-
fits, which resulted in a reaction of Il a
IA per cent, Missouri Pacific leading
therein. In exception to the general
recession, Cotton Seed Gold, Bay State
Gas and Consolidate Coal moved up
per cent and few other shares a frac-
ton. After midday the trading became
Stagnant and the movement of prices
in the usually active list was very mar
now. In the specialties, Consolidated
Gas advanced IL per cent and Bay
State Gas rs per cent. Michigan Cen
trail sold down 21a per cent without
rally. During the last hour the coal
shares came into prominence, particu-
larly New Jersey Central which was in
strong buying demand, induced by the
belief that the annual report which is
TO be issued tomorrow, will not be I'M
favorable as has been anticipated. As
result of the purchases, the stock
sold up 31s per cent, to SO per cent, with
subsequent reaction of per cent, leav
