That royalty occasionally condescends
to the most contemplate vulgarity is
evidenced by the refusal of the czar and
czarina to publicly meet Nine. Faure,

France. 1t is also surprising that M.
Faure should have quietly submitted to
such indignity. Vive la republiQue, mais

Oregon Land Cases.

The secretary of the interior has
denied the motion of Abel Erskine, for
review of the departmental decision of
The Dalles land district case of Arthur
Cousens VS.. Erskine. Erskine claimed
to have settled on the land with the ex-
pectation of purchasing it from the
Northern Pacific railroad if they should
obtain title thereto.
William Floyd loses in his appeal from
the lower action in the case of Rupert
II. Childs VS.. Floyd, in The Dalles die
trict. The general land Office, in Janu-
ary, 1895, reversed the decision of the
local officers, ana held Floyd's entry for
cancellation. The secretary in the de-
cision in the case says:
However bona fide and good Floyd s
Intention may have been, when he
fenced the land involved, orat any other
time to purchase it of the Military Road
Company, when it secured title and
wanted to sell it, such intention would

$780, This act was intended to protect
and accord the right of purchase to all

its terms, and at the same time open the

that there will be more favorable mar

fects upon exporters, who are entirely
Indifferent whether they buy or not.
Nearly all business on hand is cleaned
up, and future shipments depend upon
foreign values and local freights; when

FLAT FEET ARE THE THING.
Use Wide Shoes and You VIII Be Able to
Walk Erectly.


Use Wide Shoes and You VIII Be Able to
Walk Erectly.
Not more than two men in 100 walk
erectly. This observation comes from
a man who is a crank about the benefits
of wide, fiat shoes, says the New York
Press. He declares he has made notes
and knows what he is talking about.
He thinks that the ftwo men in 100"
wear the same kind of shoes that he
wears, which look like those used for
walking on water. This man also be-
lieves that the percentage of women
who walk straight is so small that it is
not worth considering.
The whole trouble he attributes to
shoes. He says men and women were
never intended to wear shoes at all. 1t
is his observation that when the foot
is fattened out and the toes spread the
natural movement of the body is to
straighten itself. This he attributes
to certain muscular action, and he has a
chart to prove it.
When the foot is compressed by a
shoe and the toes jammed together
there is a sympathetic tension on the
whole muscular and nervous system
which draws the body forward or
bends it.
1t has been noted in his calculations
that persons in bathing costume on the
beach walk much straighter. 1t is also
Il notable fact that she Indian, who runs
barefooted on the plains, has the proud
est kind of walk. He is as straight as
an iron pole.

FUNCTION or THE SPLEEN.

It Is 2 Kind of Safety Valve to the Blood
Circulation.
= The spleen, of old, writes DR.. Andrew
Wilson in5the Illustrated London News,
formed am organ which puzzled the
classic Psychologists. 1t did not seem
to manufacture amy secretion, like the
liver or sweet-bread; and they knew,
as we do to-day, that removal Of the
organ is not necessarily attended by
much disturbance Of the vital fuic-
tions-a fact due to the duties Of the
missing spleen being laid on the shout
ers of other organs, most probably the
Emphatic glands. The spleen is I'M
doubleday a blood gland. It's the seat
OF manufacture Of the corpuscles Of
the blood, red and white, and it no doubt
also disposes Of the old rolling stock
of the blood, dissolving and disintegrat-
ing the wornout corpuscles. Addition
al evidence regarding the spleen has
been supplied by Prof. Schafer, f. RS,
and Mr.; B. Moore. They have proved
that the spleen acts as kind of safety
valve to the blood circulation, and it
responds ait once to all variations in
the blood pressure, whethert these yari-
atoms are from heart or lungs. It is
an az organ which shows rythmical con-
fractions, and would appear to be a
kind u ID of delicate governor, analogous
in its nature to the self-acting mechan
ism OF that name>in the steam engine. I

There Are Enough OF Them to Form
Good Sized Town.
Paris is the city where the dressmak-
ing trade Aourishes as it does in no
other spot in the world. In 1850 the
number of couturieres, as given in the
Annuaire du Commerce, the CONNER
cial directory Of those days, was only
1853. There were besides 81 shops for
the sale Of ready made feminine appar-
ell, but there were none, as there are
to-day, which sold lingerie or certain
articles exclusively. %1
In the Bottin Gas the Paris direc-
tory is Familiarity known) of 1895 there
are 1896 couturieres and 296 CONNER
.cial houses for the sale of ready made
garments, besides many establish
ments which manufacture and sell
iupons de. desous or under-petticoats
alone. The number of working dress
makers in Paris is estimated at 1000.
In all France, according to M.
Georges Michel, the industry of manu-
featuring the various articles of WON
ans dress is in the hands of 81, 400 male
and 143,648 female owners of shops Or
factories. These furnish employment
to 700,sO1 persons, Of whom over $780,
900 are women. Il.
In addition to these there are 925, 1885
persons who make their living from in
dustries> which are. tributary to that
of the manufacture Of feminine appar-
el. The total value Of the product of
this labor from so many hands is esti-
mated at s. 5O,OOO,O 900.

An Australian Enthusiast Has Fine Col,
lection of Venomous Reptiles,
+ Mr.. J. McGarVie Smith, an eminent
bacteriologist Of Sydney, Australia, is
the proprietor Of probably the greatest
collection Of snakes in the world, says
the New ork World. He IS in.
the business partly for, scientific
purposes and partly for business. He
advertised some time ago for 500 venom
Gus reptiles, but one publisher refused
to permit the advertisement until he
had satisfied himself Of the sanity Of
the scientist.
The different species Of venomous
snakes in Australia, SO far as known,
number 40, and Mr.. Smith has speci-

tracted from the reptiles is largely used
in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
Mr.. Smith is an enthusiast on the.
subject Of snakes, and regards them as
the most wond erful Of living creatures.
He has in his collection serpents that
have gone nearly a year without food
and are still fat. He has injected some
of their own poison in to them without
the slig htest il effects to them. AS a
result Of his investig cations he has estab-3
