lIoN...AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS.

Ii lost In the mists that enshroud ths
ancient civilization which gave 1t
BIRTH" writes DR.. Andrew Wilson In
the Illustrated London News in an ar
ticle on Fashions in Dress and Per
sonal Deformity." IL allude to the de-
formed feet of the Chinese women,
known, ! believe, technically In the Ce-
lestial Empire, as the go,den lily fash
lon. What happens here Is the bending
Of the infants toes downward, so that
they become flexed on the sole, causing
the future Chinese lady to walk on the
knuckle joints Of the toes. Viewed
from the sole, the heel is shaped some
what like a horseshoe, while In front
Is triangular surface, that of the
dOwn-bent toes, a deep ridge separat
Ing toes and heel.
"The amount Of distortion which IL
brought about by this extraordinary
fashion Is. Of course. extreme. The
higher the social rank In China the
smaller are the deformed feet. the prac-
tice thus exhibiting grades and degrees
In the amount Of distortion which is
produced. The toes. as described by an
expert who has studied this malfOrma-
ton, are really twisted around the in
step bone Of the great toe. and the
body's weight presses on the only ade-
luate support which is left-namely,
the heel. The attitude of the Chinese
woman In walking Is therefore ex-
planned by the difficulty with which she
maintains her equilibrium.-New York
Herald

Some Copious Languagee.

Among all the European languages
the English Is the richest so far as the
number Of words is concerned, and 1t
ls also the one which has added to Its
vocabulary the largest number Of
words within the last half century. The
latest English dictionaries contain not
less than 26O, 900 different words. Next
In rank comes the German Language,
with $4,000 words, and then come in
succession the italian. with $4,000; the
French, with $4,000. and the Spanish,
with 10000 words. Among the oriental
languages the Arabic is the most copi.
Gus, Its vocabulary being even richer
than that of the English language. In
the Chinese languages there are 10000
,yllables or roots, out Of which 1t is pos.
sible to frame $4,000 words. Another
notable language is the old Indian Ia
mil, which Is now spoken in the south
Of India, and which contains, accord.
Ing to the latest calculations, 67,642
words. In the Turkish language there
are %, $50 words, and thus 1t is richer
than the Spanish and some other Euro
pean languages. A singular fact is
that aborigines, as a rule, have very
limited vocabularies. The Kaffirs of
South Africa have at their disposal
aot more than 5000 words. and the ma
lives Of Australia use only 1000 words.

What His Lordship Desired.

Genius has always been associated
gith carelessness in dress and very fire.
auently ludicrous mistakes happen.
Lord Rosse, who built the famous tele-
scope that bears his name, was an ex-
pert mechanic and was also somewhat
careless about his dress.
On one occasion the earl was looking
through the engine room Of a large
mandatory. He suddenly became in
terested in something he saw and. tax
ng out his watch, stood looking from
to the machine with a peculiar smile
IN his face.
The engineer came along. well.
what's upr" he growled. What are
rou grinning att What have you to
ind fault with?"
"Oh." answered Lord Rosss. Il am
,ot finding fault. 1 am calculating
,ow long before the boiler explodes."
Boiler explodes? Why, you're era
", man! You get out Of this"
"Well," said the earl, III you work
ZEN minutes longer with that screw
oose the boiler will certainly ex-
plode."
The engineer looked at the screw In
Heated, jumped at 1t and fastened II
ls soon as he could.
why didn't you say that soonerT'
he demanded.
why should IT. answered Lord
Rosse. II never yet had an opportuni'

he BEAT THE TRUST.
a Clever Scheme which Was Worked
By a Wheelmake

BY q Wheelmaker.
II don't care to mention Names" said
. visitor from New Jersey, but this is
an absolutely true story Of how one
man at least beat a big trust at its
small concern making-let us say-car
wheels Chats not exactly 1t, but pretty
nearly. and about a year ago he got q
private hint that the other car-wheel
people were arranging a combine. He
said nothing, but Immediately commu
nicated with several of the largest con
sumers, and by offering confidentially
a reduction Of about Is per cent. Sc
cured advance orders that would Oc
cupy him over two years to I'LL, run
ming at full capacity. At the price
named every wheel would be made at 8
loss, and his partners were badly
scared. He told them to keep theil
mouths shut and wait.
''In a few months the trust was or
ganized, according to programme. and
one day a bland agent dropped In and
offered him a fair price for the plant.
He said he didn't care to sell. The
trust thereupon proceeded to put on
the screws In the usual fashion. In
other words, they cut rates, but.
strange to say. the little wheelmaker
didn't seem to care Then they made
another and much larger cut with the
intention Of freezing him out at one
fell swoop.
THAT was Just what he was waiting
for, and through a third party he In
stantly placed orders covering all the
contracts he had made at a figure that
left him a handsome margin of profit.
Without suspecting that the large or
ders came from their intended victim
the trust people became alarmed at the
losses incurred in the freezing out pro-
cess and made him another and much
better offer for his plant, which he
promptly accepted.
Now the trust has the concern and IL
obliged to run 1t day and night to make
wheels at 25 per cent under actual cost
for the man 1t tried to ruin. AS fast as
contracts, and reaps the intermediate
profit. while, needless to say. the trust
magnates howl with anguish every
time they maze n delivery. The little
wheelmaker got enough out of the sale
Of the plant to retire for life, and he is
carrying out the rest of the campaign
merely for sport. He says it's great
fun to see a trust on the gridirOn. -

EXPENSE OF LONDON SEASON.

Admittance Into Swelldom's Circle.
The programme for a social season

| The serious conflict of authority OIL,

Wheeling CW. Va.), 43 L. r. A. 14S, in
which 1t Is held that there is no such
duty toward trespassers even II they
are children, and that negligence to
create a right Of action in their favor
must be SO gross as to amount to q
wanton injury.
But the Limitation of general ticket
ior passage on a railroad to the day on
which it is sold 10 held, in Louisville
and Nashville Railway Company vs..
Turner (Tenn.), %3 L. r. A. 14O, to be
invalid, unless there is an express con-
tract to that effect, based upon q con-

This would be a better world II our

Truth lies at the bottom of a well.
if she got more air and exercise she
would be better looking.
This world is like a looking-glass:
smile at it and it will smile back; frown
at it and it will give you as you
at it and it will give you as good as you
send.
Nature is not only the cheapest, but
the best physician.
True brotherhood is based not on q
common parentage in the past. but on
common Fatherhood of God in the
present.
