PIGEON TOED WALKING.

New York Evening UNI: The latest af-
fectation is to turn your toes in. If you
doubt it, just take a stroll up Fifth av-
enue some fine afternoon and note how
the feet Of all the smartest men and girls
point inward. Closer scrutiny reveals
that they are very obviously doing it "a
purpose" but that only ~heightens the i'm
j pressiveness of the thing. Men are more
given to it than women. 1t is essentially
a mans affection, and the woman who
| appropriates it does so upon the same
principle that she ap]propriates his Graz
watts and collars. Upon man, too, the af-
fectation is more sensational. With feet
shod in the extra heavy and big boots so
fashionable just now, and accompanied
by the popular pegtop trousers, the turn
ed-in-tOes are at their awkwardest. The
curious thing is the reason for the affec-
tation. Itisn't because the Prince of Wales
is ~pigeon-toed, nor because some ultra
smart and capricious woman decided to
set the ball of fashion a-rolling in a new
direction, nor anything else that you
might expect. 1t is all on account of the
game of golf. Much golf makes one pig
eon-toed, as is proved by the devotees of
the game. Instinctively in driving and
swinging the feet veer inward, and before
long they point that way off the links as
we'll as on them. This principle once es-
tablished, the next step-a most natural
one-was that all ambitious to become
golfers should turn their toes IN. They
would resemble the champions in this re-
spect at least, no matter how abruptly
the resemblance stopped there. Then
everybody who hoped to be taken for a
golfer began to turn his toes in, and fl
nally all those who blindly do a thing
! Just because everybody else is doing 1t,
and no matter how ugly and senseless the
thing may be, became pigeon-toed. But
golf began. it. Tt is another of the many
things for which the game must be ED
responsible. 1t is curious, by the way,
how many recent affectations, from the
wig-wag handshake down, make a cult
of aWkWardneSS.

one bottle and to take the other to an
acquaintance of his in the Blue Grass
state. 1t was, of course, a question of
eluding the custom inspectors on the
American side, so I took the bottles back
into the pantry and poured just a little
sweet milk in each. Then l got a couple
of slips of paper, wrote Stomach Bitters'

A LOGICAL SUGGESTION.

The venerable r. l.. Dabney, D.. D., IS
we'll known in this country and abroad.
Upward of 20 years ago his youngest
son, Lewis, was a sharp-witted Lad who
promised to become a respected chip Of
the old block"
The lad was whipped one day for an
act of disobedience, and then had to un-
dergo the more trying ordeal of sitting
quietly on the sofa. He became deeply
absorbed in thought and presently
asked:
MA, why did you whip me?"
80 as to make you a better boy" was
the response.
Lewis again became lost in thoughtful
reflection. Presently he blurted out:
Ma, do you belive in prayer"
Yes, my SON.
eff you were to ask God to make me
a better boy do you think he would grant
your %prayer?"
81 think He would, SON."
"Well, then, ma. 1 wish you would pray
a little more and whip a little less"

GREAT

Easter Island, lying about LOO miles
from the nearest land in the great track
less Pacific, is one great human grave
yard. It is only 10 miles in length and
seven in width, and yet you cannot turn
a sod of earth without bringing up a
human skull.
Scientists cannot solve. the problem of
from where these come. But as, at the
lowest estimate, there must be some 200, =
600 buried in the island, it isaapparent
that either the island must have formerly
been much larger, or that some prehis-
toric race used 1t as their burying
ground.
The most probable solution lies in the
theory that this strip of earth has been
raised by volcanic upheaVal from a
drowned continent, over which the great
Pacific ocean now rolls, and that by a
mere chance it happens to be the cairn
of one of the great prehistoric nations.
TIL fact that the skulls are not those of
such savages as now inhabit the island
helps to give additional support to this
theory,

Possibly you have daughters just
standing on the portals of w~omanhood.
A wonderful transformation is at hand,
and frequently Nature requires some lit
tie aid to perfect this great change. Many
a young life is blighted, or at least suE-
jected to sickness and inconvenience
through some unknown obstruction,
which could easily have been relieved or
regulated by a little timely attention.
Young girls frequently exhibit a deli
cacy in speaking of these matters-even
to mothers-and, because they do not
feel VERY BAD, pass over the matter in
silence, until it assumes serious proper
tons. Mothers you owe a solemn duty
to these young, budding lives, and should
not keep your daughters in ignorance of
the mysterious workings of Nature.

WORLDS COAL FIELDS.

It appears from the estimates of the
most reliable authorities that the coal
fields of the world cover an area of about
1,25O, 900 square miles. The United States,
China, Australia and India are the coun-
tries in which the area Of coal fields is
greatest, but the output of the United
Kingdom is far larger than that of any
other country. England also consumes
far more coal than any other people. On
an average every inhabitant of Great
Britain uses IA cwt. of Goa annually. The
Belgians come next with an average an
nual consumption of A cwt. per inhabi-
tant.

him, and not without results. The man
was apparently looking through the
business indices at the back of the book
and whenever he came to a page he
fancied he cut it out with a deft move
ment barely detachable. The clerk call
ed the proprietor, and between them
they saw him cut no less than five pages
from the book.
Then the proprietor beckOned to a po-
Hceman just outside the window and
went up to his customer.

asked.

preferred to cut out whole leaves. Well,
