In Il fragment of q medieval diary,

aldeschi da Orvieto, there is a descrip,
ton of q great bullfght given in the

was still free from any accumulation of

maj BILE decorations had already been
taken away. The seats were replaced,
therefore, with red cloth. Monaldes-

Crasa.d Into An losbsrx.

1t is u serious matter when a ship II
obliged to seek collision as the lesser of
two evils. The author of Greenland
1cefieids' says that lie was once on
board a steamer in the mouth Of the
strait Of Belle Isle where there were
innumerahle vast. beautiful ioebergS.
surrounded by a dense fog. The chance
Of e~ncounteriDg them, however, seemed
go slight that the boat continued its
course, though at slackened speed He
adds:
Suddenly a large spot in the mist
ahead of the ship lighted up, as if we
were coming to a clear space. But to
the experienced eyes Of the mate and
the ice pilot it vas an oninous specter,
for it was the ice blink Of q huge berg
which almost ut that very instant
emerged from the mist, towering hun
dreds of feet above US aud stretching
ont many hundred feet on either side.
1t was tCN luie to avoid it. Safety, il
it could be secured at all, lay in taking
the collision straight ahead, and &C.
cordingly the rudder was turned at the
instant the wheel was reversed. The
collision came all too soon. Great mass
es of ice fell upon the deck. The steam
er rceled like a drunken man, but the
passengers scarcely had time to secure
oil upright position again before all was
quiet as death, while we anxiously
watched the carpenter as he sounded
the wells to See if there were "a leak.
Meantime the huge berg cleaned
down upon us from its serene height in
the mist and revealed clearly the point
ed sides of the great cash which had
been made in it by the bow of our iron
ship.
After u few minutes of breathless
anxiety it was ascertained that, beyond
the breaking of three or four iron plates
of the ship high above the water line
and the disah ing of one anchor, no
damage was done. Fortunately we had
hit the iceberg where there was no pro.
jcctipg foot below the water. Other.
wise it would surely have been a fatal
collision for US.
1t was thrilling indeed for us to re-
feet that we Lad sailed or steamed by
a most circuitous route to encounter
this particular berg and had hit it at
almost the only safe point which it pre-
scented for attack.

a professor Of physical culture an
nounces that he has discovered an in
tinIare connection between deformities
Of tie nose and the position of the feet.
His name is II. L. Piner, and he com.
mur icates his observations to the New
York Journal:
"iou can tell a p]igeontoed person
without locking at his feet or seeing
him walk. The discovery was made by
me in 1891 while teaching physical
culture. ! found a stubborn awkward
Eess in the movements of my pupils

that many Of them were pigeontoed.
In others one foot was correct and the
other turned in.
In teuchirg correct breathing l had
to investigate the condition of the nasal
passages Then | found that wherever
the person was %pigeontoed in the right
foot the right nostril was stopped up or
otherwise doformcd. 1t was the same
with TIE left foot or uoStril. If 10Th
nOstrils were defective, 10th feet were
piseOntoed.
AT one tim examined 2G persons,
and every one of them was pigeontoed
III the left foot, with u corresponding
defect III the left nostril. At another
time l examined over 40 with a view to
testing my discovery. Some of them had
well developed ~nostrils and were not at
all ~pi2contncd. Some had overwifc
nos'rils, with overwide angles at the
feet to correspond.
Girls ! found more generally and
worse ~pigcontoed than {! Us. The per
son who has a whining or suut!ling
voice il usually pigeontoed.
Another discovery is that with the
defective nostrils were found invariably
stopped shoulders and hollow chests. the
stoop and hollow always bearing II
direct ratio with the defect. In extreme
cases there was IN ugly prOtrusiCn of
the abdomen, II tendency to draw back
and upward the upper lip. exposing Tie

truding tendency.
