What is the matter with Americans
feet? This question vas asked last
week at the Brooklyn aayy yard by
Capt. Casper +. Ficle, a veteran Of
the German army now visiting this
country. do you know" continued
the captain, 81 think counted a dozen
signs in various sorts Of foot doctors
in three blocks as l was riding on the
Sixth avenue elevated road yesterday.
and I have noticed tho same condition
on other streets. The chiropodists OF
your city must live, and it must mean
frequently see men, and much more
often women who apparently walk
with great difficulty. and would be alb
solutely unable to take a continuous
walk Of half a dozen miles. There is
no good reason for this, and 1t simply
means that their feet are neglected.
There Is one place you can find good
feet, and that is in the German alNv
7 know all about it. and if II vas Is
lowed as a model we would not hear so
much about corns, bunions, sore ani
tired feet and all that sort Of thing.
In our army every private must batha
his feet once a day and grease them
thoroughly, rubbing the ointment well
into the flesh and mas5aging the soleg
to keep them soft and flexible. Every
army man knows the Importance Of
good feet, and if civilians would fol-
low that example you would not see
the sort Of pedestrianism that is ex-
hibited on your streets. The feet are
as important as the hair or teeth, AMI
yet they do not receive one hundredth

and hu-snity has to suffer in conse-
auence Of it."-N'w York Herald

EngIishmen and the Queen,

Curiously enough the great mass of
Englishmen knew little or nothing Of
the sovereign as their ruler. They
had only the yaguest idea of the part
she took in the government of her
realm and her people; they knew prac-
tically nothing Of the controlling and
dominant force she exercised in inter-
national and domestic politics. But
about this they cared nothing, 1t was
sufficient for them to know that she
was a good woman, a woman whose
heart always went out to her people,
who shared with them their joys as
well as their sorrows, who was keenly
interested in everything that could
make them better and happier. And
perhaps more than anything else was
the knowledge that she was a woman
who had suffered much, whose heart
had been sOrely wrenched, and whose
spirit often tried, and yet through it all
she had remained serene, hopeful, al
ways an example for right living, al
ways an inspiration to the weary and
the afflicted Perhaps that was the
real secret Of the devotion which she
inspired in Englishmen the world over.

"Why don't you know"
Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogatlons, despite the mild re-
proof Of the parents, he decided to
make n clean breast Of the matter and
have it over ut once, so he said with
calmness:
"Wel, we don't live together we
think, as we can't agree, we'd better
not"
He stlhed q grOan as the child began

Growing International Recognition q
Their Merits Reported.


Their Merits Reported.
One effect of the Anglo. Boer war in
South Africa has been to exalt not
only in market value, but also in Of
fetal consideration, the American
mule. There has been a constant de-
mand for American mules for service
in the military operation Of the Eng
lish The distinction Of the American
mule has become International, and it
need be no surprise. therefore, that in
recent official publications in Washing
ton the mule, no longer the subject
of sighting official reference. should
have d position Of dignity and promi-
nence.
Thus, recently, there has appeared a
bulletin concerning the number Of
mules in large cities from which It APP
pears that there are nov 600 mules
in New York City, 500 in Chicago 21S
in Boston and thirty-seven in Detroit,
these being the cities in which mules
are least esteemed. In PHILADELPHIA
the number is 1900, in Baltimore 1000.
in Kansas City 24OO, in ST. Louis 2s0O,
and in New Orleans 3400.

Grated in the march of progress Of the
mule to belated distinction, and the to-
tai of Memphis is exceeded by Louis

industrial interests Of which are not
such as to make many calls for the
purchase of mules.
The distinction Of the American
mule as recognized officially does not
stop short with mere enumeration. for
there appears also q statement show
ing "the number Of mules per 100000
inhabitants in certain cities and groups
of cities of the United States" Thus
it appears that there are 1895 mules
to each 100000 inhabitants in New Or.
leans, and ninety-nne mules only to
each 100000 inhabitants in Washing
ton, in which mules are but poorly
represented.
In New York City it may be Of in
terest to the future historian to know
on official authority, there are seven
mules for each 100000 inhabitants in
the borough of Queens, eight in the
borough of Brooklyn, twenty-five in
the borough Of Manhattan, twenty-five
in the borough of Richmond and thlr-
ty-one in the borough Of The Bronx.
