CARE or THE FEET. Very few
women have well.shaped feet, or If
they have, they are generally an
noyed with corns or swellinga.
When we consider how valuable ii
is for men and women to have nor
NAL feet, it is amazing how they
are neglected. A Boston lswyer,
who has very advanced ideas on this
subject, allows his children to wear
moccasins until they are old enough
to go to school. Then their shoes
are made Of the softest kid, and with
soles the width Of the foot. In
summer they resort to their mocca-
sins again, and tho result is that
all of his children are said to have
as perfect feet as baby. Some say
that the cause OF a great deal OF
trouble is wearing black stocking.
The heat from the dye causes an
irritant poison, even though the
foot is not discolored. The feet
should be carefully bathed every
night and then rubbed with a little
alcohol. The result Of this care
would be very beneficial.

A Startling Question.

| Are clever people ugly? This is
the startling question which a writ
or in Poarson's propounds for solu-
tion. There is good reason for be.
lieving, it is claimed, that the high
er We rise intellectually the lower we
shall fall in respect Of beauty. In
plain language, education tends to
make people ugly.
Directly VIC begin to think deeply
We agitato what we may call the ir-
ritating matter OF the brain, and
this disturbance gradually shows
itself in the face The thoughtful
person lowers his eyebrows or raises
them uneonsciously in the effort Of
thinking, and this creates lines and
fnrrows on the forehead the poison
caused by envy and ioalousy-an
inevitable accompaniment Of educa-
tion-has it's effect upon our COM
plexion. These are only some Of
the changes that take place, and
make it even now diflicult to retain
our good looks after we have ac-
quired much knowledge and the
power OF reasoning. II this is so,
what will it be in few generations?
As We do more and more Of our
thinking for ourselves, instead Of
taking our opinions from others,
80 will generation after generation
become more and more highly
strung, and will show 10 an increps-
ing degree the traces Of mental ac-
tiyity.
All those characteristics which 60

the gentle expression OF the eyes
and the abundance OF hair-will

and women with bald heads, no

in short, general appearance
which, at the present time, is re-
gardod "a the embodiment Of ugli-
mess.
Why ia it that woman has always

the result Of this will be that she
