Afados rradssmsn Make Good Use OF Thefs
Pedal Extrsmities.

Hfndos fradssmsn Make Good Use OF Thois
Pedal Extrs,nities.
The French ethnologist, Professor r.
Regnault, has made special studies in
the far east in regard to the ability of
the Hindoos to make use Of their feet
as auxilfaries Of their hands. This
ability Is particularly noticeable when
one watches Hindoo tradesmen at their
work. The carpenter employs his feet
as a wise and as a gauge; the shoe
maker holds the shoe between his feet,
leaving both his hands free to work
upon 1t; the Hindoo butcher holds a
knife between the big and the second
toe and cuts his meat by drawing it
across the knife and pressing it down
with both hands. The help of the feet
Is most valuable in weaving, and it is
wonderful thing to us to see Hin
200 artisan use both his hands and his
feet in handling his loom. Regnault
also observed child climbing a tree
and grasping the branches of the tree
between the two first toes OF either
foot whenever hold could thus be
secured
This collaboration Of the feet with
the hands, 1t would seem, is the result
OF several changes in the physical de-
velopment which the Hindoo race has
undergone in the course of time
through outward agencies. Their hip
joints are much freer and more timber
than ours, and will permit them to
squat on the ground and at the same
time approach the feet so near to their
hands that they can grasp with their
feet the work in hand, and hold it
with some expense Of strength. The
ankle joint is also timber, and works
freely, and the big toe is more devel-
oped and can be moved by them at will
as regards its bending and stretching,
Its separating from and approaching
toward the second toe.
The normal foot Of the Hindoo shows
a large space between the big toe and
the second; this, however, is due solely
to their wearing sandals, which are
held in place by wooden peg placed
between these two toes. The constant
muscular exercise practiced in holding
the sandals naturally tends to
strengthen these toes, and the use Of
the feet being a general custom and
tried even by children of the tenderest
age. has gradually changed the Hin
doc anatomy.

Mr.. Ward is dead. You will ask
''Who was Mrs. Ward?" "Well, she
was q celebrity i'm Roman Catholic so

Ward, of the Oxford movement. and
mother Of MonsignDr Ward. president
of st. Edmund's college. A most &C.
centric old lady; but then her more
famous husband was also very ''odd.
He knew nearly every literary man OF
note in England, and most Of them
offended him bitterly by-writing to
congratulate him on the birth of his
heir! Said he: 81 have been for years
doing valuable intellectual work in
London and Oxford; work which few
men have the knowledge or the ability
10 do. No one ever wrote to congrat-
ulaAe me! Now l have a soma tning
any man may have, and receive hum
dreds of letters of congntulation. It's
intolerably absurd" He had broth

his day, with whom he once quarrelled
and. after the manner of the family,
agreed not to be on speaking terms"
One night they happened to be side
by side at the Haymarket theatre.
Each was absent minded; they forgot
the quarrel and had friendly chat
about the play Next morning almost
identical letters were exchanged, each
"AfYectionate Brother" reminding the
other of the arrangement to meet as
strangers and signifying desire to
adhere to it! OF the eccentricities OF

reported everything to be moving along
nicely in the line of construction and
says that he hopes to get at least twenty
miles of his road in operate n within the
next three months, which will give him
a line from Sweetwater to OUk Creek
valley. The road, as originally char
tered, will operate from Sweetwater to
San Angelo. a distance of seventy-nine
miles 1t will run through one Of the
richest agricultural and mineral sections
of the state and promises to be one OF
the best paying pieces of property in
the south. Five miles of :he road are
now completed south from Sweetwater
and is ready for operation. Fifteen ad
jacent miles have been graded and are
fifteen miles of grading is the heaviest
on record, but it has been done most sue
cessfully and the rOadbed will be an eX-
cellent one. There is a large track force
of nearly hundred men at work daily
now, grading and laying the track, and
it is thought that the road will he COM
pleted to Oak Creek valley by the last
of March at the latest and the entire
road will be ready for 'peration by fall.
When the first twenty miles are COM
pleted it will be operated, as it takes the
road into very rich country that will be
productive of fine mineral resources as
well as being a fine agricultural country
that will naturally be tributary to this
road, there being none other within fifty
miles.
When this line from Sweetwater to
San Angelo is completed it is the inten-
ton of the projectors Of the road to

a COUNTERFEITERA ARRESTED.
Sheriff PurI Captured One Near Buda,
Monday Night.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Purl of
Georgetown arrived in the city from
Buda, having in charge man named
Sanders, whom he had arrested Monday
night in Buda with the assistance of the
local deputy sheriff there Mr.. Meredith.
Sanders is wanted for counterfeiting,
and that he is undoubtedly caught red
handed there is little room for conjecture.
His grip and his trunk are both chuck
full of counterfeiting TOOLS while in his
possession were found number of
nickles that he had not finished, and
which he was evidently preparing to run
on the public on very short notice.
Sheriff Purl is of the opinion that he has
secured valuable arrest in the present
instance, and will take his man to
Georgetown today for investigation by
the grand jury, which is now in session
in that city. This section of the country
has been flooded with counterfeit money
recently, and it is believed that Sheriff
Purl has secured the ring leader in this
capture. He is to be complimented for
his very efficient work. He has ever
proven one of the best sheriffs in the
state, and his present case is simply an
other feather in his cap. Sanders was
arrested on the charge of burglary, hav-
ing burglariZed house in Georgetown.
and the examination of his effects led to
the fortunate discovery of his being
counterfeiter.
