"rHE FOOT SIGN"
Al Interesting Discussion Over Its
GlgniAsanee Was Stirred Up ~
the Dfeyfus Case.

When a man is sitting with one leg
thrown comfortably over the other the
foot that is hanging loose undergoes
little movement at each beat of the
heart. While the charge of Capt. Drey-
fus was pending Marquis du Patty de
Clam made psychological study of the
prisoner. Among other things he sud-
denly asked Dreyfus question calcu-
lated to arouse emotion in him, if he
was guilty. Dreyfus was in the posture
mentioned, and the movements of his
foot were suddenly intensified. The
marquis urged this as proof OF the
prisoners guilt, and it really seems to
have played part in securing his con-
viction. DR.. A. Lutaud combated the
marquis inference at the time, and
quite justifiably, the New York Medical
Journal thinks, but cannot agree with
DR.. Lutaud when he says now, ina sar-
castle article rejecting on du Paty de
Clam, that such movements of the foot,
which he calls "instinctive," have moth
ing to do with the movements of the
heart. The movement has been called
''the sign of the foot" but DR.. Lutaud
proposes t. call it 'du Paty's sign"

Washington as the canital city is the
seat of the government printing house.
the publications of which are both ex-
tensive and continuous, and more than
5000 persons, a majority of themin the
government service, are employed in
bookmaking and bookbinding in that
city despite the fact that in proper
ton to its population no city of the
country has smaller number of news
papers, and usually the number of pa
pers issued in city is guide to the
volume of book-making done in it.
New York exceeds all other Amer
lean cities Canada included) in the vol
ume of its bookmaking and bookbnd
ing trade, and the publishers of this
city now issue more books yearly than
are published in all the rest of the coun-
try combined. There are 40 leading
publishing concerns, and others of less
Importance. In another particular
also, New York can securely assert its
right to be regarded as the Leipsic of
America, for it is the city into which
are imported and from which are ex-
ported the greatest number Of books.

Pushing Orders.

A chemist is making collection of
the queer orders he receives from peo-
ple who send children to the store for
things they need. Here are few sam
pies of them: This child is my little
girl. | sent you penny to buy two sit
less powders for groan up adult who is
sike." Another reads: Dear dochter,
pies gif bearer pennies worse of
Auntie Toxyn for to garble babi's

mother writes: You will please give
the leetle boi pennuf worth of epcac for
to throw up in FIVE months old babe.
n. B.-The babe has sore stummick."
This one puzzled the druggist: Il have
cue pain in my child's diagram. Please
give my son something to release it."
Another anxious mother wrote: my
little baby has eat up its fathers parish
plasther. Send an anecdote quick as
possible by the inclosed little girl"

BooKMAK1NG IN AMERICA
nev York Issues More Books Than
All the Rest of the Country
Combined.

On An average 100000 books are
printed in Germany every year, and
5000 900 of these, it is computed, are
exported to other countries. Leipsic
has been for many years the recog-
nized book city of Germany. No other
European city, not capital, occupies
q position equally prominent, not
withstanding the fact that the total
consumption of paper in Germany for
book-making is materially less than in
Great Britain at present. In the United
States and Canada there is no recog-
nized book city, though recently To-
ronto has asserted it's right to be ac-
cepted as the Leipsic of Canada. Near
ly s2,OoO,00o is said to be invested in
that city and its neighborhood in pa
permaking, printing and bookbinding
trades. Large as these figures may be
for Canada, they do not seem to be
of very much account when brought
into comparison with statistics of
some American cities, especially New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Chi
cago has now $25,OOO,OOO invested in
book and paper publishing, and in some
lines may be said to have almost mo-
nopoly, particularly in printing rail
road time tables, railroad maps and in
some branches of commercial printing.
Philadelphia has large retail book
trade, especially in cheap editions of the
standard works which are sent to the
south and west. Two other American
cities having large business in book
making, though in different branches
of trade, are Boston and St. Louis. The
books. published in Boston are Tor the
most part either expensive standard
works or those having permanent value
for reference, whereas the books pub
lished in St. Louis include consider
able number in the German language.

A CENT FROM EVERYBODY.
Taken Altogether Ii WOuld Mean q
Heavy Tribute. Unhandy
to Collect.

A tramp who lately sought nights
lodging at Dover, KY, announced that
ne was bent on collecting one penny
rom every person on earth. He had
already got 3S cents.
This fantastic idea of humorous ad
senturer is not lacking in suggestive
1ess, though it isn't necessarily sug-
yested that anybody should take up his
alleged job in dead earnest.
In the first place, when Mr.. Tramp or
anybody else gets his coin-collecting
ask done he will find the need of max
ing arrangements with the railroad
combine for lot of large-sized freight
cars. He will have something like $500
tons of metal on hand which won't
transport itself.
And if he gets tired of thinking of his
precious one-cent pieces by weight he
can think of them by miles. Stood up
on edge and stretched away in long
lines, the coin would reach from New
York to Chicago and back to Buffalo,
with whole lot to spare. There would
indeed be 1,4s4 miles of hard cash in the
narrow, continuous rolls.
This, it seems, should be lot OF
money. So it is. Yet no Rockefeller,
Gould, Astor or Vanderbilt would have
particular cause to envy its possessor.
The sum represented would be, in
round numbers, about 100000 since
it would consist of one cent each from
about 1,500,000,000 persons.
AS to the time that it will take to
collect this tribute from the earth at
large, let no one think it is a job for a
week, a month or day.
If persistent person is willing to
stay at the task for 60 years, working
Sundays and holidays, and can manage
to average something like $6s4.92 per
day in collections, he will just about
complete the work laid out by the Ken
lucky tramp.-N. Y. Evening World.

ODD INDIAN CUSTOM
ert Rake Up stones Into
LenE Winarows.

Near the town called The Needles.
about IL miles across the Colorado
river, on the California side, writes
w. E. Curtis, from Flagstaff, Ariz., to
the Chicago Record, is an area OF
about 1000 acres, more or less, where
the Hulapais Indians rake up the stones
in windrows in a most mysterious man
ner and for a reason that has never
been satisfactorily explained to the
white citizen of that section.
1t is a dreary and dusty desert. Rain
seldom falls. The surface of the
ground, hard clay that has been bak-
ing in the sun for centuries, is covered
with broken lava and punlice stone,
which at some time was discharged
from one of the great volcanoes, whose
silent crasers can be seen in the San
Bernardino mountains. This is the or
dinary appearance of the country for
leagues around. You can travel an hour,
or ten hours, for that matter, in any di-
rection away from the river bed, with
out seeing anything green or any plant
or thing Of life, except a cactus or a
sage bush. Under the shadow of a
group of mighty hills is mesa, or table
land, that is almost level, and there,
once year, upon some anniversary,
whose significance is not understood,
and cannot be ascertained, the In
dians of the Hualapais tribe gather at
night and rake the lava and pumice
stones into windrows. Some of the wind
rows are two miles long. They are reg
ular in length and in intervals, and the
average height is about IL or Is inches,
just about the height of windrow of
hay left by horserake in meadow.

"Ths Best Friends of a state those
who advocate the Enactment of an
Election Law which shall Inc ure d Free
Ballot and a Fair Count"
Wash. On. CO. STAR
It is gooo to hear that the more con
servative Of the Democratic leaders OF
Maryland are opposed tn any tinker
ing with the election laws of that
State for the purpose OF securing a
partisan advantage. the law as it
stands Is q good one. lt registers the
will of the people. The Republicans

In having that fact recorded. When
there Ia no obstruction at the polls, a n

neither side can justly complain. II is
but question then of arousing the
people TO the Importance of the issues
at stake End inducing them TO exercise
their right of suffrage. The men they
elect are installed III off %, and the
policies they declare for are carried
out
Ambitious politicians, willing to go
TO extremes to accomplish party ends,
would do well TO study the Kentucky
ie' son. The election law in that State
hich preceded the Goebei law was
fair and just. 1t worked well for many
years. Certainly the Democrats had
no good reason 10 complain of 1T, for
they were in power under it continu-
ously for more than quarter of a Gen.
fury. But when they lost the State
through their own divisions, in 1895,
and again in 1896, the extremists
among them, with Senator GoebeI for
leader, instead of trying so reunite he
party, took advantage of success
achieved in 1897, which gave them the
Legislature, and passed an election
law framed for no other purpose nut
to return Democrstic maJorities. The
measure was so fiagraptly partisan and
unjust, and SO in Gefiance.Qf the rights
of the people, that some OF the severest
denunciat'On of it came from Demo-
cratic sources.
The law in operation has justified
every word Of condemnation spoken at
the time of its passage. That Mr..
GOebel did not receive the certl ficate
OF election to the Office Of governor
WAS not due to any defect in the ma
chine he had constructed, but TO two
Of the men he had selected to operate
st. Had they obeyed him, as he thought
they would, he would have triumphed
even over the majority against him
that had been shown at the polls. But,
as men of conscience and character,
they refused to perperrate the outrage,
and Mr.. GOebel then turned TO the leg
islature for what these two officials had
denied him.
The best friends of the State are
those who adv 'cate the repeal of the
GOebel law, al d the enactment of one
which shall insure free ba'Iotand
fair count.
