ABOUT WOMEN'S FEET.

Does Intellect Govern the Size Of
H|. f Them? ID. H....
A truly beautiful foot must be free OF
all blemishes, and in perfect proportion
to the leg and stature. The instep
should be high, or moderately high, and
the portion under the instep hollow
and well raised above the level Of the
sole; the toes regular and well de-
veloped, the heel narrow and non-pro-
iecting. The general outline of the
perfect foot is long, slender and grace
full. The toes of the beautiful foot (ac-
cording to Flaxman) should follow each
other imperceptibly in a graceful curve
from the first to the fifth, and in Greek
foot, according to the most famous
statues, the second toe was made longer
than the great toe. The beauty of the
longer second toe is disputed.
It is true that small feet are consid-
cred by many mark of aristocracy,
but they certainly do not indicate SUI
periority of intellect, for many brainy
women of supreme intelligence have had
very large feet. ....
George Eliot, for example, and Nine.
de Stael, the most brilliant woman, in
tellectually, of her day, had such largo
and ungainly feet that she was made
miserable by the consciousness of their
undue proportions. Nine. de Stael once
ventured to assume the role of Greek
statue in some tableaux wants, and
was grievously offended by the witty
Tallyrand's bon mot, that he recognized
the impersonator at once by the pied
de stael."
The high French heel is accountable
not only for the distortions of the first
joint of the great toe, but for innumer-
able feminine internal complaints, be-
sides which it is utterly impossible for
any woman alive to walk or dance grace
fully in high French heels.
1t is said that a fashionable French
woman once asked famous artist how
to acquire graceful carriage, and was
told to take off her high-heeled shoes,
place them on top of her head, and prac-
tice walking until she could do so with"
out the little shoes showing the slight
est culver of motion.
"When you walk" he said, "with those
shoes perfectly balanced, you will have
the gait of goddess, and for the first
time since French heeled shoes were in
vented they will really have served to
help and not to disfgure woman

Giving Up Much for Little.

One principle of the Christian life is
to count all things but loss for the ex-
cellency of the knowledge of Christ. In
each deprivation or loss, we may ask:
"What is this want or deprivation in
comparison with the higher excel
lency?" The answer may be given by
our own enlightened judgment, or We
may be made aware that something we
possess is antagonistic to the greater
excellency by the fact of its withdrawal
by God Himself. Each concrete case is
brought to the bar of the great princi-
pie that the lower must be given up for
the higher, and there adjudged.-S. s.

Saved Neck of Convicted
Murderer Windrath.
The Triple Hanging Did Not
Take Place at Chicago.
Fields, Who Killed Mrs. Randolph,
the Only One Executed.

CHICAGO, May i5.- Today for the first
time since the execution Of the Haymar-
ket anarchists double hanging was on
the schedule. In the Cook county jail. The
condemned men were Alfred Z. Fields, a
negro, convicted OF the murder of Mrs.
Randolph, and Joseph windrath, . Ger
man, convicted OF the.murder of Carey B.
Birch. 1t was to have been triple hang
ing, but Governor Altgeld yesterday gave
a respite to Mic Marsden, convicted of the
murder of Fritz Hobebutter, q butcher.
Fields was apparently unconcerned last
night and slept soundly. His companion
did not get ary sleep until long after mid
night. He, however, ceased the raving
which he had kept up for the last three
or four days, and apologized to the
guards for the trouble he had given them.
but protested that he was innocent.
When his wife left the jail he cried hys-
terically for nearly an hour. Then
Fathers Dore and Finn were admitted
and prayed with him for time. When
they had gone Windrath lay down upon
the couch in the death chamber and with
eyes staring at the ceiling remained un-
moved.
AS the hour for the execution approach
ed, Windrath again became violent, shout
:. His insanity, or imitation of insanity,
was of such character that 1t was de-
cided a separate execution would be ne
cessary for him, IL an awful bungle was
to be avoided. Just before the time set
for the execution, word came that a stay
had been granted Wipdrath, Judge Baker
allowing a postponement of three weeks.
Fields, the negro, the only remaining
one of the trio, who was to be hanged
today, was executed at 1927 p. m.
Fields smiled on the scafold, said
"Good-bye, old SPORT" to an acquaint-
aoce present, and was then strangled to
death, his neck not being broken by the
fall. The other prisoners in the jail set
up a loud shout when the drop fell.
Above the din could be heard the shrili
yell of Windrath, who had just been re-
prieved. 1t was the same wild shrek
that has distracted the Jail inmates for a
week: "Hang up Minnow." The pur-
pose OF Windrath's respite is TO allow
further Inquiry as 10 his sanity.
