There is a determined effort on the part of some people of unhygienic ideas to bring the high-heel shoe again ito popularity. The inherently feminine In woman has re- belled against the sensible mannish shoe, with its broad flat heels, projecting soles and general air of comfort, so we are told.
 If this be true, woman is taking a step backward. That is especially deplorable now, when she was becoming such a glori ous creature, with her gofng, swimming, rowing, walking and other athletic exer- cises, and when her mind and body were becoming so thoroughly healthy that many things were prophesied for the future of the human race.
 It seems incredible that a sensible wo- man would wear shoe with a French heel. She loses freedom of movement and grace of carriage. And what is of still more vital importance, she injures her health. Nature has decreed that the weight of the body should fall on the arch of the foot. For this purpose she constructed there a most beautiful arch, perfect in mechanism. The high heel throws the weight on the toes and the ball cf the foot. These parts were not made for that pur- pose, and they are inadequate to the de- mand.
 So the fragments that bind the toes to- gether spread under the undue tension and
The age-herald., 1900-11-04

transfer their strain to the nerves, which soon begin to jangle and nervous trouble is the result
 The weight of the body should be evenly distributed in almost straight line. The bones of the leg bear it, and the muscles take the strain. The high-heel shoe throws every thing below the waist line out of poise.
 The muscles of the legs, trying to ac- co,nmodate themselves to this order of things, bow out. The straight line is lost. Walking is rendered difficult and painful. Athletic sports become impossible. Out

SOME METROPOLITAN
 WAYS OF BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham Is in every sense of the wez=: 6 metropolitan city.
 Those who walk the streets while the sun shines and when the business houses arg busy do not realize this as strongly as does the more unfortunate man what roves the streets during the last hours of the night. Along Birmingham streets, where in some cities quiet would reign, sounds of reyelry and good cheer can be heard from early dark until the lights are turned out and the eating resorts are again illuminated by the welcome rays of the morning sun. There are many Bohemians in Brmng- ham and sight of this happy -go-lucky sort of life is always a point in evidence of city's metropolitan claims.
 There are at present ten restaurants in Birmingham, the doors of which are never closed. At all times of the night customers can be seen in these places and business seems to thrive. The all-night eating houses as rule are not what Is commonly called called frst-class, but they suit Bo- hemia and from that source comes the support. '
 It Is rather remarkable that so many restaurants in a city the size of Birming-
 
 With the exception of New Orleans there is probably not a city of the south outside of Birmingham which has enough hungry people on the streets at night to support more than three all-night eating houses In some of the southern cities there can some times be found one or two '"all-nighters" and in others there is none.
 Birmingham does not boast of her ten night restaurants for the purpose of ex- posing the hungry condition of some of her citizens, but to show that she Is metropoli- tan enough to feed people at all times. And If they were not here all the time the poor restauranteur would have to shut up shop and quit the business at night. The Bohe> milan would suffer and Birmingham would be forced to surrender one Of her claims 10 being a thoroughly modern city, and some of the metropolitan air would be lost

ugly and as well-known as his? And then his trousers and his feet-who has a match to them? The most embriotic detective could spot him by these alone. Kruger is the most original looking parsonage in the world. The nearest he can come to trav- cling incog is to say that he Is, and then try and imagine 1t. He has poorer chance of hiding himself than his fellow African, the ostrich, for the latter, it is said can at least stick it's head in the sand and thus far be hid but Kruger's flight shows that he lacks sand and having gotten his feet out of it, he will hardly stick in his head.
 
 The latest sensation in Paris Is the vivi- section party. This does not mean eat ing live oysters from the shell, but the truly grewsome bona fde vivisecting of live animals for the delight and edihcation of select parties of ladies and gentlemen. Par isian nerves are so paralyzed that it takes something like this to stir them up. The menu is as follows: First, cut up a live bull frog to show the circulation of the blood through it's veins. Then produce cohyulsions by applying electric currents to the exposed nerves. Next, remove the mo- LOT poruon ol the prdlil oi d Ne"AouhuiaHN dog and force him to attempt to walk in order to show the paralysis produced by the removal Then to liven up matters sev- eral cats are killed by prussic acid, just to show how quick it can be done, and finally strap the legs of a dos so that he cannot move them, gag his jaws and quickly split him open that his heart and lungs may be seen in action for a few seconds. All of which is to the glory of science and the vivification of French nerves.

DIsGUsTED BECAUSE NOT PLUCKED

N. Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch
 H Archie Pell, formerly connected with the Waldorf-Astoria, and now, through an inherited fortune, Wall street broker, was the victim of a stock exchange joke today. This was his initiation day, and, according to tradition, every newcomer is roughly handled by the hazers. Often new members clothes are pretty badly torn. Pell laid a snare for his fellow-brok- CTS by wearing a suit in which all stitching had been removed When the brokers grabbed him he exhected the garment to fall to pieces. Collecting small army of friends to witness their discontinue, Pell boldly went on the floor No one noticed him. He walked around for half an hour, inviting attack, but not man gave any sign of recognition. Finally the closing gong sounded and the brokers fled in all directions leaving the dlsgusted Fell alone with the scrubwoman, and his friends laughing in the gallery.

door life must cease with the advent of these perilous heels.
 If American women want to become just one degree removed from the Chinese wo- men this is the way to accomplish it. They will of necessity become indoor creatures, fit for nothing except to sit around and be looked at Grace in walking, the erect poise of the figure, must be sacrificed.
 These shoes, the reflection of artificial age, may suit pale, pasty. inert hysteri- cal creatures, but 1 am quite inclined to believe that the freedom-loving. sport-en- toying, healthy women of to-day will have nothing to do with them.

The California Senatorship

Without considering whether the
State of California has done well or i'll
in defeating Burns, the fact remains
undisputed that Burns, accordin to
all rules of con vention and caucus, was
the logical candidate of the Repu blican
party. They accepted his leadership,
his work and his money for the cam
paign and after this acceptance they
should have given him the toga. AS
SOC \ rs the party was placed in the
sadd Z, it began to see good deal in
Burns that it did not like, but when it
was going through the heat and dust
of a hard campaign Burns, with all his
back record and experience with jails
and trials for embellishments, was al
together lovely parsonage whom the
party was proud of and delighted to
honor. They fell with one accord on
his neck and pocketbOOk.
Dan has been downed, but he has
shown himself to be game and has
bowed to the inevita bic with good
grace. Later on, however, some of
the Repu blicans in California will hear
from Daniel and it will not b. long,
either.
