Picking Out a Husband.

A contemporary gives the follow
ing advice to its fair readers: "For
a mans birth, look to his linen and
finger nails, and observe the infec-
tlons of his voice. For his tastes,
study the color of his ties, the pattern
and hang of his trousers, his friends
and his rings-if any. For his pro-
pensities, walk round and look care
fully at the back of his head. A
symmetrical cerebellum, with we'll
trimmed hair, is an indication of self
control and energy. If you want a
successful man, see that he has neat
foot; he will move quicker, get over
obstacles faster, than a man who falls
over his own toes and trips up other
folks with 'em, too. For his breeding,
talk sentiment to him when he is
starving and ask him to carry a band
box down the public street when
you've just had a row. To test his
temper, tell him his nose is little on
'one side and you don't like the way
his hair grows. There are other ways
which will suggest themselves natural
ly to bright woman.

A young lady not far from here sent

AS TOTHE FOOT.
Some Things About 1t that Are Said to

| Some Things About 1t that Are Said to
Indicate Character.
1t Is surprising the little interest we
take in other peoples feet. Our own
command the whole of our attention;
ard very worrying they are some
times.
have you ever noticed the shape Of
your feet? 1t may astonish you 20
Know that ones feet are as much an
index to ones character as ones face.
or ones lines and wrinkles therein.
lhls is the opinion of foot surgeon
whom P. w. has inter viewed on the
subject,
"Palmistry. physiognomy, and the
like, are beside the mark compared
with the value Of the study of the feet
In the formation Of mans character
said he. There are three classes Of
the human foot-Aryan, Scandinavian,
and the Anglo-saxon. The first two
are pure; the third is the blend of the
former. There is also 4 nondescript
type.
THE Celtic or Aryan foot was the
foot of the OLD Phoeniclans. and is the
highest type of the human foot. Il.
has many characteristics which stand
out from all other feet
You may know 1t by the big toe
being shorter than the next one to it,
the big toe joint being large and long,
the arch being short and high-pitched,
and the heel-bore being irregular in
form. The man with the Celtic foot
will perform what he says; he will be
strong. healthy, moral. 1t is the foot
Of the soldier. Of the conqueror. and
the trustworthy man.
I'm the Scandinavian foot the big
toe stands far away from all the others.
The arch is f1atter and longer than the
Aryan; the heel is very symmetrical in
relation to the general outline; the
tees are longer; the tread is narrower.
1t is the more elegant of the two, but
the Celtic is the stronger development.
The man with such foot as this will
be no less sincere than the Aryan-foot-
ed mau, but he will be slower in COM
Ing 10 n decision, and will perform his
duty or promise usually with less
grace. For swimming 1t excels the Gel
tic; but the latter is all for long dis
tance walking, mountain climbing,
rapid and quick movement.
1.-THE Anglo-ssxon may be termed
the general all-round foot. We pass
into degeneration from this, the foot
that fills our prisons, hospitals, work.
houses. and supplies us with the foot
pad.
Even the prospects of marriage may
be CLEANED from comparison Of the
feet.
THE Anglo-Saxon foot is that of the
business men. The big toe and the one
next to it are brought on line. The
arch is not so accurate as the Aryan.
but an Improvement on the Scandina-
Wan. The displacement across the
tread is greater than the Scandinavian,
but not equal to the Aryan."

How the sultan. wive. sath.,

The secret Of the Sultan's harem is
one which has been kept inviolate for
! long time. The arcana, or hidden
! she has revealed the process which
goes on within the bathroom, which
| she says is the only recreation in which
| the wives Of the Sultan are able to in
dulge.
The first room is the place In which
the ladies take of their garments. and
1t is presided over by a woman who
is a sort Of overseer and chaperon. as
we'll as caretaker, for every one of
the ladies, as she takes them off, hands
her the jewels which she has been
wearing. Her greeting to all and each
as they enter is the Turkish equivalent
OF L hope you will come bacl
pleased"
All along the side OF the walls ara
low couches, while in the middle of the
, room is a clock, and near 1t an omen
stove which is called a "mangal 4"
This stove not only keeps the apart
ment warmed to the proper tempera-
ture, but 1t also serves the second Of
nee OF perfuming the room.
The bath itself is of white marble.
and contains perfumed water in which
the women plunge and play like the
chiidren at any of our own seaside
places. After the splashing about
period they go through a course of
treatment with ordinary soap, and
toen comes course of massage whose
refreshing and revivifying powers are
known to all.
After the bath, cup of coffee "a

is kept on the top of the mangal In
the disrobing room. In this room too.
there are cradles consisting Of a pi,-
low suspended ~ means of a rope at
each end. On the,e pillows, tied bv
means OF silken scarves, are the chill
dren of the bathers. and they sleep or
crow away the time which Is enioyed
by their mothers In the only recreation
which Is permitted to them, and here

Marvellous Instruuents Employed by the
Scientists in Charge OF the Great OBJ
scrvntory-The Point Whose Longitude
is Zero.
DOUBTLESS every student of geogra-
ply has had his curiosity aroused
regarding Greenwich Observatory,
whence longitude Is reckoned and
where the world sets its timepieces;
and has been desirous of learning more
about the dwelling place of "Longi-
tude Naught" and the chronometer
that regulates the clocks of the world.
The purpose of this article IS TO graft
ify such curiosity; and t. desc: be,
briefly some OF the wonacrs o, the
great observatory.
The most important room of the
whole observatory is the transit room.
-Four broad stone pillars occupy the
greater Part of the space of this room.
Two Of these pillars are tall, as well
as broad and massive. They stand
east and west of the center of the room
and carry between them the Transit
circle. Here Is the home of "Lor gi-
tude Naught"; for the optical aX:s of
the great telescope of the transit circle
marks the exact spot crossed by tho
prime meridian of the world. Two
other telescopes are in the room, one
20 the north and one to the south OF
the transit circle, mounted on the
two remaining pillars and both on the
line Of the optical axis of the transit
circle
