MIR. NAPLES LECTURE.

Last night, the last of the series OF
entertainments given by the manage
ment OF the Protestant Hospital. was
Mabie night. but there was no maybe
about the merit of the lecture. Mr..
Mabie said OF THE Four Georges" that
1T was made an interesting series of
papers by the genius OF Thackery, as
truly may 1t be said that Sam Johnson
was made beautiful by Mr. Mabie. For
every ugliness of the stumbling. awk-
ward victim of Kings evil" half deaf
and more than half blind, as he was.
the lecturer pointed out some offsetting
attraction of character. Was Johnson
gloomy and unfortunate? HE was
born sick In tired age" Was he un-
able to look upon food with any de-
gree of self-control? The lecturer re-
minded us Of the ten years of tripe-
eating with footmen in underground
restaurants. 1t was not alone the ugly
Grubb-street hack in the smuffy brown
suit that we saw. but the flood and ebb
of the English mind. the march Of
Kings and people from Henry VIII. to
George H.. and, at last the end Of Sam
Johnson. "the incarnation of English
honesty and courage and common
sense" laid to rest IN the mansoleum Of
English genius.

HOW TO FIT A SHOE.

People would find less difficulty in
suitsng themselves with ready-made
shoes, said an experienced Shoemaker.
IF they would stand up TO have them
lifted. Nine persons out of ten REQUIRE
particularly comfortable chair wher,
they are having shoes tried on, and il
is difficult to make them stand for a
few minutes even when the shoe Is
fitted. Then, when they begin to walk
about. they are surprised that the
shoes are less comfortable than they
We're when first fltred The reason Is
simple.
THE foot is smaller when one sits
in Il chair than it is when one is
walking about. Exercise brings a con-
siderable quantity OF blood to the feet.
which accordingly swell. The muscles
also expand. These facts must be
borne in mind when one buys ones
shoes or discomfort and disappoint-
ment are sure TO be the result. People
who are not comfortable in ready-made
shoes should have both feet measured.
The result will generally be the dis
covery that they have feet of different
sizes. and therefore need specially
made shoes"
