OUR NEGLECTED FEET.
A German Soldiers Observations on
the Pedal Extremities of
Americans.

What is the matter with Americans
feet? This question was asked last
week at the Brooklyn navy yard by
Capt. Casper F. Fiche, veteran of the
German army, now visiting this
country, says the New York Herald.
aDO you know" continued the cap
tain, 4 think l counted a dozen signs
of various sorts of feet doctors IN three
blocks as I was riding on the Sixth
Avenue Elevated road, and I have no
ticed the same condition on other
streets. The chiropodists of your city
must live, and it must mean lots of
poor feet.
ION our streetsI frequently see men,
and much more often women, who ap-
parently walk with great difficulty, and
would be absolutely unable to take a
continuous walk Of half dozen miles.
There is no good reason for this, and
it simply means that their feet are
neglected. Normal men and women
can have perfect feet if they viii only
give them q little care, but, unfOr-
tunately, nc portion Of the human ana
tony is more neglected,
There is one place you can ind good
feet, and that is IN the German army.
I know all about it, and If it was fol-
lowed as a model We would not hear so
much about corns, buniOns, sore and
tired feet, aud ali that sort Of thing.
In our army every private must battle
his feet once day and grease them
thoroughly. rubbing the ointment well
into the flesh and DasSaging the soIeS.
TO keep them soft and deEible-
Every army man knows the impor-
lance OF good feet, and IL civilians
would follow that example you would
not see the sort Of Pedestrianism that
is exhibited on your streets The feet
are as important IS tie hair or teeth,
and ret do not receive one h1ndTedth
part Of the care. This is ali grong

even for the conservative party, head
ed by Salisbury and Chamberlain,
which is responsible for the war and
its disasters which have rendered such
taxes necessary. The income tax in
cites the largest amount of public ap-
pFehension- The present rate on in
comes exceeding $500 is 3 per cent, and
this may be raised TO ~ per cent or
even 10 per cent. And In England this
tax is vigorously collected. The wealth
Of England is now paying for the greed
Of England. Even Americans who
have holdings In England viii be oblig-
ed to contribute their share. Our late
fellow citizen, the self-expatriated As
tor, viii be compelled to give up a
share Of the income from his many
millions. 1t is cutOmary to. berate Eng
land as an aristOcratic government, but
1t must be said TO its credit that Eng
lish aristOcrats stand their share of the
burdens of government. The class in
this country which apes their manner,
and their mode Of living, object to an
income tax, and denounce it as a vile
invention Of democracy. The opinion
can safely be expressed that an Amer
lean aristocracy'' has no more right to
be exempt from an income tax than
has an English aristOcracy. So far as
its income tax is concerned, it is a pat
ent fact that the British monarchy is

A STRANGE PENsIoN STORY
How the Widow OF a Trooper Was
Made Beneficiary of Her
OWN Act

A pension has been allowed recently
to the widow of a soldier of the Sixth
United States cavalry for whose death
the beneficiary was responsible. While
this startling fact would seem to de-
bar the widow, the peculiar and inter
esting circumstances of the soldiers
demise rendered It proper for the pen
sion officials to pass favorably upon
her application, says the Washington
Star.
It appears that the soldier, according
to the corOner's verdict, came to his
death May Z, 1888, through choking
with leather watch chain in the hands
of his wife while she was protecting
her life. The widows statement before
the jury disclosed a remarkable series
of incidents, and was cOrroborated in
all essential respects by other witnes-
ses. She testified that her husband
had been drinking heavily for q week.
She had gone to him at u o'clock and
told him that dinner was ready. He
made no response, and after the meal
was finished, and the diners had gone,
be came and told her to prepare dinner
at once. She at first demonstrated,
but observing a strange look upon his
face became frightened and began to
do as commanded. The husband then
said, with an oath, that he was going
to kill her, and struck her, knocking
her against a table. The wife then
| fed from the house, thinking TO find
some of the men about the place who
would quiet or restrain her husband.
She ran to a field where men we're pillow
| ing and besought their interference or
protection. They refused, saying they
could do nothing with the man. Mean
time he had gathered up the baby,
mounted horse and followed in pur
suit Of her. The husband rode up to his
wife, who begged him not to hurt her.
He replied, with an oath, that he would
/ break her bones and would kill her;
that she must die. He then threw the
baby to the ground, pulled his six
shooter from his belt, tried to make his
horse run over her, and reached out try
ing to strike her with his revolver, As
he leaned over he fell from his horse
/ to the ground on his side aud back. In
! falling be fell against his wife, knock
ing her down. She jumped up, threw
herself upon her husba nd, intending TO
get his revolver away from him. She
laid hold Of his leather watch chain,
which he wore around his neck This
leather guard fastened with slip knot.
The wife elutched the chain with one
hand and with the other held one of her
husbands hands. She was exhausted,
and lay in that condition for four or
five minutes. He did not struggle, but
made a queer noise IN bis throat
When the woman recovered she arose,
hid the revolver and ran TO the house.
When the men went to where her hus-
band Jay they found him dead. The
wife had nnintentiOnaily strangIed
her husband. Her tension has been
granted, and to-day she Is drawing

The sinking of the Rio de Janeiro,
at the Golden Gate entrance off San
Francisco, was a terrible disaster. 1t
teaches very important lesson to all
who may contemplate taking a voyage
on river, lake or ocean; and that is
never embark on a vessel not provided
with water-tight compartments The
Rio de Janeiro was . years old and
had no water-tight compartments. All
such vessels should be prohibited by
law from carrying passengers.

AND The YEARS GO BY.

Lightly sips youth at the wine OF its joys,
Laughs at the charms of yesterdays toys;
Life Is so long, and nothing alloys
And the years go by.
Little By little the world shows its dross,
Deepens the sense of enjoyment and loss:
Pleasure Is wearing of part Of its gloss
And the years go BY.
Now there is question and doubt and dismay
Well time viii alter, and truth VIII OUtstay;
Night Is as needful, perhaps, as the day
And the years so by.
Work multiplies and pleasures abate-
So much to do, and we are so late
Duties still fOcking now knock at the gate
And the years go by.
Once, ali, we sigh: but we never can stop:
What is life for but to work till we drOp7
Only one thought-tO rise to the top
And the years so by.
Age is Oncoming, and what have we done?
Oh, we have dreamed OF such victories won!
Whose Is the fault, and what is undonel
And the years go by.
What do we hold but a handful of dust7
We were so wise In our first ardent trust,
Somehow we missed the real metal for rust
And the years go by.

Fall Hunting In the Maine Woods.

The hunting season is now on and the
sportsmen have already commenced to
migrate towards the inexhaustible wood
lands and forests of Maine where game
in abundance can be found.
The reports received this year state
that deer are more plentiful than ever
before, and during the close season
hunters, who had gone down to camp
early so as to get line on their where
abouts and be able to bag a few deer
at the outset, were startled at the great
numbers which appeared to be every
where.
From the Moosehead Lake country re.
ports are to the effect that the guides are
making ready for more sportsmen thar
ever before, and scores of moose have
been seen in that vicinity.
The country along the Penobscot Ri 7ei
and the Aroostook region are fairly alive
this year with deer, and this is also con
sidered a remarkably good moose terri
tory.
Maine offers scenes and pleasures il
the line of fishing and hunting all he
own, and in the chase for big game sh
has no competitors. Deer are not onl
more numerous in Maine, but they groy
to much larger size, and the perso
who knows how to handle a gun at al
is reasonably sure of his full quota {
deer and moose.
Although deer and moose are usual
enough to satisfy the appetite of the a,
erage sportsman, still they are by Il
means the only kinds of game to |

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Those who sell their spiritual birth
right, OF character, conscience, heaven,
are certain to lose with it the blessings
of happiness, peace and this world.
The value we place upon anything de-
termines the amount we will exchange it
for; if we value properly our Christian
heritage, no earthly price can buy it.
spise our Father through whom it comes.
SELECTIONS.
We barter life for pottage sell true bliss
For wealth or power. for pleasure or re-
nown;
Thus, Esau- Ike our Fathers blessing miss
Then wash with fruitless tears our faded
crown.
There was an advertisement in one Of
the daily papers to this effect: Wanted
nice cottage and grounds in exchange
for a lot of choice liquors" Mul
titudes of drinking men have made suct
an exchange. Not only property, but
happiness, home, the welfare of friends
character, prospects, everything, have
they exchanged for Intoxicating liquors
So men sell their characters and clea1
conscience for money, tor honors, fol
pleasures. They sell their souls for The
world, and find that they have sold them
selves for naught.
The worldling's life is like that of {
child sporting in meadow, chasing now
a butterfly which loses its charm by be
ing caught; now wreath of mist which
alls damp upon the hand with disap
pointment now feather of thistledowr
which is crushed in the grasp.
Travellers visiting Niagara are shown
a place where a young lady few year.
ago lost her life. She was ambitious tt

man hand had reached. She leaned too
far over the edge, and the turf yielded t.

Nothing but leaves.
