The Causes OF Corns and Bunions.


The feet are surely plant members
when they can endure the variformed
shoes that from time to time compel
them into new habits with each new
pair put on; yet they rarely rebel or
give real trouble unless barbarously
neglected. Corns and bunions are
more often the result of wearing old
shoes than in the wrong selection Of
new ones. A constant change of foot
gear 1nures the foot to variety, and,
even those who confine themselves
wholly to the ready-made article need
suffer no i'll effects If they will keep
their shoe supply as carefully replen-
ished as is the rest of the wardrobe.
1t Is one of the most fallacious of
practices to attempt to economic by
wearing old shoes about the house, un-
less they possess all their buttons,
have straight heels and soles, and are
daily brushed and aired, as are their
newer fellows. Only in this way may
the ankles be continually braced into
straightness and the toes allowed to
move gently in an almost straight d.
rection. When the foot is thrown out
of balance by worn-down heels, the
toes. attempting to retain level po-
sition, perform prehensile feats, which
resemble the action of the forebears
some scientists have ascribed to us.
Moreover, the combined heat and
moisture of the normal foot hardens
the leather of the continuously worn
shoe into permanent creases, which in
turn render the foot extremely sensi-
tive, and struggling against its hard
environment enlarges the joints and
causes local distress. b.

REMAINS OF A LOST RACE.

Superior People Driven to the Swamp of
What IL Now Louisiana.
Prof. George E. Boyer, of Tulane
university. New Orleans, has just re-
turned from his explorations of the So
called Indian mounus along the Red
river, and between that stream and the
Mississippi, in Franklin, Natchitoches,
and other neighboring parishes, which
he Investigated for Tulane university
and the Louisiana Historical society.
he was able to distinguish the several
layers of earth, shell and clay deposited
at different times, and to demonstrate
a greater antiquity for the mounds
of at least 1000 years. The skeletons
and implements discovered proved fur
Their that the inhabitants of these
mounds were not of the race of the
ordinary red Indians who were found
there by the French and Spanish ex-
plorers, but a race akin to the AZtecs
or Toletics, of more peaceful DISPOSE
ton than the neighboring Indians, and
originally more civilized. They had
apparently been forced into the great
swamps by the surrounding Indian
tribes, and their civilization had de-
Perforated under the unfavorable con-
ditions in which they lived.
Prof. Beyer's later explorations con-
firmed his former ones, or rather show
ed that there were two varieties OF
mounds IN the country he explored,
one variety on the higher land, ap-
parently erected by Indians, and used
mainly for burial purposes: the other
built by a more ancient race, and con-
tanning skulls of the same kind as
those found in Catahoula. The Indian
mounds contained a large number of
skeletons with heads distinct1vely In
dian, arrows. tomahawks, etc. The
other mounds were in the swamps or
lakes, like those of Mexico. Such lakes
were once abundant along the Red riv-
er, but nearly all have been drained
dry to-day by the removal of the Red
river raft. The number of these
mounds fairly staggered Prof. Boyer.
he found no fewer than fifty clustered
together and extending distance of
two miles from Browns bayou to Lit
tie Deer creek. They were so close to-
gether-only fifty feet apart-as to
make what must have been in old days
a settlement or town.

Watched as Well as Prayed.

Parson Adams, minister in Luneburg,
Mass, for over IS years, at one time
stopped to pass the night at friends
house. The clergyman was both tired
and hungry. 1t was proposed to have
prayers at once, and then supper, after
which the minister could go directly
to his bed. To this he agreed and the
family were called together. The sup
per was to consist mainly of Indian
cakes, which were set to bake on plat
tiers in front of the fire. The parsons
seat was opposite the kitchen door.
The service began, but in moment
Parson Adams saw that one of the
cakes had fallen down and was burn
ing. He paused and looked toward his
hostess, who seemed unconscious of
any culinary crisis. Mrs. Blank" he
said gravely, 1--WE are told to watch as
we'll as pray. I cannot help seeing
that one Of those excellent cakes is
burning, and I will thank you to at
tend to it, The cake was rescued, and
Parson Adams resumed his scripture
reading with an easy mind.

CARRYING THE UMBRELLA.

Conclusive Opinions Formed by Your
Fashion Of Doing 1t.
Two men who sat near the window of
motel IN great city few days ago
whiled away the time by watching the
women go by and commenting on their
umbrellas.
The storm had abated about an hour
before, and the sun had peered through
rift In the clouds, but, for all that,
the first pedestrian went stalking past
with her umbrella still held aloft.
THAT women" said one Of the men,
is as patient as Job. She is not stu
dent absent-mindedly porng over
DOCK lore, but housekeeper, who is
SO taken Up with thoughts OF what she
is going to get, for supper that she
doesn't know it has stopped raining.
what Is more, she is thoroughly unset
fish. People who forget to lower their
umbrellas when the sun begins to shine
always are. That girl just behind her.
who has already taken time to fold her
umbrella neatly, even though it is
Soaking wet, is going to be an old maid.
She is narrow-minded, too. The next
one has bound the folds down, but it
looks uneven and bulgy. That wom-
ans children will always look dowdy,
but she will nurse them successfully
through innumerable attacks Of Group
and rash, and no family in town will
have better things to eat. That short
woman, with her umbrella Hopping this
way and that, will always be poor,
because she will give away everything
as soon as she gets it, Hers isn't al
together commendable generosity, Ell
Their, for it is caused more by lack of
power to say mo- than by an inherent
desire to help her low-creatures.
That dark woman with the tip of her
umbrella trailing downward and back
dard at an angle Of 45 degrees Is mall
cious. l wouldn't trust her out Of my
sight. She'd say something mean
about me the first chance she got. The
one who carries her umbrella swung
carelessly over her shoulder is a hap
py-go-lucky individual, who will al
ways have a good time, not because she
earns it, but because the world owes
it to her, and she is going to have her
rights"

VlOlet PerfumA.

1t would appear as if the cultivation
OF the violet for it's perfume alone will
shortly be numbered with the things
OF the past. Violet perfume is now pro-
duced by chemical means, and the re-
suit quite supersedes and surpasses.
It Is said, in quality and persistency,
the flower ITSELF, This latest discov-
cry in chemistry has been made by two
Germans in Leipzig, and the import
ance Of it may be, measured by the fact
that many thousands of pounds have
been offered for the patent. Already
this substance has been sold at q con-
siderable reduction upon the cost of
the perfume made from real violets.
and so intense is the odor in it's con-
centration that the manufacturers sell
only 10 per cent solutions of it. This
10 per cent solution has to be again d.
luted a hundredfold before it is fit for
sale to the public The perfume of yio-
lets is not, we are told, the only in
stance in which chemical science as
applied to perfumery has triumphed,
and though some of the other chem
ically made perfumes are not so re-
markable in their similitude to those
actually extracted from flowers. thew
are of sufficient Importance to greatly
limit the Use of flowers they initiate

Compromises.

Though life is said to be made up OF
compromises, there are a good many
people who do not like them. Marriage
in particular is said to be an affair OF
compromises. One gentleman said OF
his experience: my wife and I began
our married life by compromise. She
wanted to go to Quebec for our we'd
ding journey, and I wanted to go to
Niagara, and SO We compromised on
New York city, where neither of us
wanted to 60. All our compromises
since have been much of the same char
acter." Rather more profitable was the
compromise recorded of another mar
ried couple. In this case the husband
wished to have flannel sheets, and the
wife wished to have cotton ones. "And
So" said the husband, in relating the
arrangement arrived 1T, eve compro-
missed on cotton"
In this case somebody at least was
satisfied.

Sign Posts In Corea.

The sign-posts in Corea are extreme
ly quaint. Each is shaped like an old
fashioned English coffin, and it is top
ped by a. very grotesquely painted
grinning human face. They all wear
the character of Shang Sun, great
Corean soldier. Chang Sun lived about
one thousand years ago. His life was
devoted to the opening of his country
to the feet of his countrymen. He in
teresected the hills of Corea with path
ways and to-day from every sign-post
he beams upon every Corean wayfarer.
Beneath his beami1g face traveller
may, if he is learned enough, read his
name; he may read, too, whittier the
road or roads lead; how far the next
settlement is, and one or two other
items that are presumably of general
interest to the Corean travelling public.

Salvation Army's Latest.

A section of the Salvation Army
more musical than the average section
stood in shower of rain on State
street in Chicago the other night and
literally gave specimens of the latest
topical songs. But the passers-by near
ly fell in fit when they heard the
army singing and pounding out a re-
ligious version Of "a Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight" It drew crowd
in spite of the rain, and caused many
a smile, that was followed by many a
nickel. +.

History and Figures of the DenomIn>
~f3nn

According to the Schaft Ferzcg .Eacy-
clopedia. the essential distinction be-
tween the belief of Baptists and that Of
other bodies of Christians is found in
their view OF the constitution Of the vis-
lille church. Holding the supreme SUI
thorIty Of the Holy Scriptures, and the
doctrines of Gods choice of his people, Of
regeneration as the sovereign work OF the
Holy Spirit, n of Justification by faith
alone, they believe thai the churches
mentioned in the New Testament were
formed In closest accord with those Coo
trines; they believe the New Testament
gives Is examples Of, and commands us
TO recaige for membership in the churches
only those who give credible evidence OF
their faith IN Jesus as their Saviour.
Hence the Baptists accept as candidates
for baptism only those who are professed
believers in Jesus"

ton dates from 1928. in Switzerland AT
