THE HUMAN FOOT.
No Longer the Thing Of Beauty That
It Was Once Considered.

~ NOAeC IA 1IkAhS "a 0CdubJ Ahdb
1t Was Once Considered.
Time was when no good news made a
journey and no friend came near, but a
welcome was uttered, or at least thought,
for the travelling feet of the wayfarer or
the herald; but the foot is so out of favor
now that one may doubt whether even
love Except in the single case of her who
LES with two feet, newly born, within
the palm of one hand) pauses often upon
the dearest feet, or is much aware Of
them. 1t must be chiefly the fault of the
Doot; Tor the boot has no character, Ian
guage or nature in it, nor any pathos I'M
TIL 1t is very old and out of the question,
says a writer in Golfers Weekly.
The feet, the feet were beautiful on the
mountains; their toll was the price of all
communication, and their reward the first
service and r~efreshment. They adorned
poetry with the primitive word, and the
CIVILIZATION that was single, simple and
humane sang them. They were blessed
and bathed; they suffered, but they were
trends with the earth; deWs in grass at
morning, shallow rivers at noon gave
them GOODNESS. They must have grown
hard upon their mountain paths, yet new
er SO hard but they needed and had the
hrst pity and the readiest succor. 1t was
never easy for the feet of man to travel
this earth, shod or unshOd, and his feet
are delicate like his color.
If they suffered hardship once, they
suffer privation now. No modern man or
woman can boast of having really happy
feet. And yet the feet should have more
OF the acquaintance of earth. and know
more of flowers, freshness, cool brooks,
wild thyme and salt and sand than does
anything else about us. 1t is their call
ing; and the hands might be glad to be
stroked for a day by grass and struck by
buttercups, as the feet are of those who
go barefooted; and the nostrils might be
battered to be, like them, so long near
moss. The face has only now and then,
for a resting while, their privilege.
Ii our feet are now so severed from the
natural ground, they nave inevitably lost
life and strength by the separation. 1t
is only the entirely unshOd that have live
ly feet. Watch a peasant who never
wears shoes, except for a few unkind
hours once a week, and you may see the
play of his talk in his mobile feet; they
become as dramatic as his hands. Fresh
as the air, brown as the light, and
healthy from the field, not used to dark
ness, not grown in prison, the foot of the
contadino does not keep the ~undignifed
and ashamed stiffness Of the foot of high
life. That foot is prim, and never lifts a
heel against its dull conditions, for it has
forgotten liberty. 1t is more active now
than it lately was-certainly the foot of
woman is more active; but whether on
the pedal or in the stirrup, or clad for a
walk, or armed for a game, or decked for
the waltz, it is in bonds. 1t is, at any
rate. inarticulate.

TO SPEAK PLAINLY.
American Commissioners will Pre-
sen What Amounts to an
UItimatum.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-It is ex-
pected that at today's meeting of the
peace commission in Paris the American
commissioners will deliver to the adver-
saries something very closely approaching
an ultimatum. The President is salts
fed at last that the Spanish commits
sloners are purposely delaying the nego-
t%iations. This is the belief of the Ameri-
can commission also. The time has now
come to cut off all false pleas and to come
directly to the main issue left open by the
protocols; namely, the disposition of the
Philippines.
Up to this point the entire time of the
commissioners has been consumed in re-
peated efforts on the part of the Spanish
commissioners to force the Cuban debt
question upon the attention of the Joint
commission against the firm opposition
OF the American commissioners. The lat
Ter nave stated as positively as they could
that under no circumstances will they as
sumo sovereignty over Cuba, involving
an assumption of the Cuban debt, and
the time has now come when, in the opin-
ION or The American commissioners, the
Spaniards must be made to understand
that this answer is final and conclusive.

while preserving a firm attitude, have
treated the Spaniards with the utmost
courtesy and consideration, allowing fire.
quent postponements of the work of the
joint commission to accommodate the
Spaniards, but now, probably at today's
meeting, without departing from their
courteous treatment of the Spaniards, the
American commissioners will find it in
cdmbent upon them to speak very plainly
as to the determination of the United
States government to regard this matter
OF Cuban debt and Cuban sovereignty as
passed over and beyond recall.

Keane is Summoned.

New York, Oct. 24.-Archbishop
Keane's departure for Rome on the Wer-
IA last Saturday was a surprise to
his friends in this country. He had
not intended to sail until December, when
Archbishop Ireland of ST. Paul was to
have gone with him. His hurried depart
ure, a prominent Catholic clergyman said,
was due to the fact that he was sum
moned to Rome TO make a report on the
state of feeling in America in regard to
the annexation of the Philippines and the
attitude of the American people toward
the Catholic church in Cuba, Porto Rico
and other new American possessions.

JOY FOR FRESHMEN.
By Accepting Sophomore Rules Haz-
ing at Princeton will be Dead.

Princeton, n. J., Oct. 22.-The sopbo-
more class of Princeton university in
their special meeting made d most unique
departure from established precedent that
has caused joy to freshmen in Nassau.
Preferring to. be saved through innoya-
ton rather than perish by precedent, they
formulated and adopted a set of rules
amid great enthusiasm which will govern
freshmen according to sophomore rules,
while at the same time the verdant first
year men will be forever freed from being
hazed, but to burst from their thralldom
they must accept these rules:
Can't wear Fedora hats.
Can't smoke pipes or cigars on the streets.
Can't be out after 8 O'Clock at night.
Can't wear collars.
Can't wear gold, duck, crash or bicycle
trousers.
Must bow to sophomores, including the
doff of the cap.
Must offer no resistance when being snow
baIled.
Must agree to prevent hazing in their
sophomore year.
If the freshies accept these rules and
the faculty sanction the same and return
the sophomores who have thus far been
expelled, hazing will be declared dead in
Princeton. The sophomores have certain
ly acted kindly and magnanimously.

EFFECTS OF THE BULLETS.
The Large Number of Wounded Men
and Comparatively Few Killed.

Siboney, July 1.-THE number of
wounded soldiers in last weeks fight
was SO entirely out of proportion to the
comparatively small number of killed
that Major Lagarde, who is in charge
of the hospitals here, was asked if he
could throw any light on the reason for
He said that the humane results of
the reduced calibre prOjectiles have
been specially shown among those
wounded in the joint end of bones, the
parts of lungs. The long bones have
shown but few explosive effects. The
casualty list, with the old leaden bull
let's, like the 45-caHbre might have
shown fewer wounds, but the proportion
of severe wounds might predominant so
greatly that suffering would be more
general.
General amputation and resection
were rarely necessary with the modern
bullet. The Mauser bullets used by
the Spaniards show few of the injuries
suffered from the old leaden bullets of
gunshOt wounds in the intestines among
the wounded is noticeable. The infer
ence is that there are a number of such
wounds among the dead in the field.
This is what must be expected to be
found from the hydraulic effects of
the small caHbre prOjectiIeS. On all Or
gans with fluid contents the effect is
terrible-the maximum, in fact, of eX-
plosive result.
The other wounds are trivial, and are
seldom serious enough to compel the
wounded men to keep their beds unless
the bullets are lodged. Even then the
wounded merely show slight localized
pneumonia.
The number of lodge, >balIs is greater
than was anticipated. This is probabl
due to deterioration of the smokeless
powder used by the Spaniards, or per-
haps, to the impeded velocity of the
projectfles in passing through the grass
and brush between the fighting lines.
The suffering and the list of the dead
would have been far greater if the
Spaniards had used 45-calibre bullets.

SHAFTER TO GOVERN.
San tiago Will Not Be Turned Over to
Cubans.

Washington, July 1.-THE statement
telegraphed the press from the army in
the field to the effect that the Cubans
under Garcia have undertaken to desig-
nate governor for Santiago after it
falls has attracted a good deal of atten-
ton here. The dispatch went on to
state that the man chosen for the place
was Colonel DemetriO Castillo, : e Gar
cia's army, and that General after,
upon being notified of the chOice, had
referred the matter to Washington. No
such reference has been made, and the
officials here do not expect for an in
slant that General Shafter will make
it. If Santiago falls under his attack,
General Slater and no one else would
assume command of Santiago and re-
tain that command as long as he stays
in that vicinity and until he is relieved
by orders from Washington.
It is not contemplated here to turn
the captured communities over to the
Cubans without very careful considera-
ton of the consequences involved, not
only from the point Of moral Obliga-
lions upon the United States as a civ
iHzed nation. but also from that of
sound political considerations. The re-
pOrst that are reiterated as to the
brutal attitude of the Cubans toward
the Spanish who surrender near Santi-
ago have caused a great deal of dis
quiet here, and it is believed that our
military and naval commanders will
be expected to see to it that the Cubans
are held in the strictest observance of
the rules of civilized warfare under
pain of being severely dealt with.
