No Ran. Tor the presIdent,s VIC

The wife Of the President Of the
French Republic has no more official
rank than tie wife Of an English bish-
Op. Unless as hostess at the Elysee
actually discharging that function, she
may be overlooked by royal and inn
perial strangers who call on her hus-
band. They give no offence when they
ignore her. The Grand Duke Vladi-
mir, therefore (says our Paris corre-
spondenD, goes out Of his way to-day,
and without any protocol obligation TO
do so, in paying a visit to Nine Lou
bet. He told NJ. Loubet on Sunday at
the shooting party at RamLouillet that

and asked when he might hope to find
her in. The President said she would
be greatly fattered and that he knew

Gutter-Snipe.

The word snipe, as expressive Of con-
tempt with an intlmation of prlggish-
ness or pett!ness, especially impertin-
ence, was very common in Philadel-
phia as far back as 1885, as l can well
recall my Indignation when called by
it. There can be no question that it
came into use from the German
schnipp or schnippisch-snappish, pert.
saucy. "Gutter-snipe" began to ap-
pear in newspapers some years later.
IT would, however, be curious to as
certain whether the term does not ex-
list in some form in old provincial Eng
lish. 'Gutter" was very naturally
added from its association with mud.
1t was generally believed in New Eng
land, and dare say elsewhere, that
the snipe lived by sucking mud

HOW TO WALK.
Toes Should Not BE Turned Out 80 Girls
should Not BE Taught TO march"

Toes Should Not BE Turned out - Girls
should Not Be Taught TO March"
On analysis all methods of walking
will be found to correspond to three
main types The first Of these is the
fiexlon or bent-knee gait, which is used
by all uncivilized, sandalled, or moe
casined nations, and also by all per
sons who are obliged to walk long dis.
tances in the shortest possible time
over uneven ground. This gait has re
Gently been officially adopted in some
European armies on account of its con
vemence FOR prolonged marching. In
this mode of walking the body always
leans forward to a considerable de-
gree, the knees are always held slight
ly flcXed, and the whole sole of the
foot comes down TO the ground at The
same instant. This oblique position
Of the body, this elasticity of the bent
knee and this perfect play Of the arch
of the foot make propulsion easier, the
expenditure of energy becomes less
i'm consequence, and the endurance Oi
TIE walker is enhanced in proportion
Yet, this ieXion gait is not graceful
and not adapted for women except or
long walking tours.
The second type Of walking is the
straight-leg gait of the soldier on par.
adc. In this walk the BODY is held
erect the forward foot is fully ex
tended and strikes the ground witt
the heel first, the ball Of the foot com
ing down next, the other foot swinging
in perfect cadence in front of the first
the heel again striking the ground first
etc There is no question that thu
gait, however admirable is may bI
from military point Of view, does no,
conform to the standard Of womanlJ
grace. For this reason, and in com
pliance with the principle that abhou
all jerky motion, 1 would discourag,
the teaching of marching in girls
schools and colleges. As a rule, the
result is very ungraceful, the lines o.
humping, shouldershrugging girb
walking at a swinging cadence to the
stirring strains Of martial music being
anything. but edifying.
The third type is the gait Of the pc
destrian on the well-graded surfaces
Of our city streets. The great toes
should move in parallel lines. pointing
directly forward; for while the out
ward pointing Of the toes IS normal III
the passive standing attitude, it is not
normal when the foot is in action. The
walk with toes pointing out has been
thoroughly inculcated into most Of us
by nursery maids, gOvernesses and
dancing masters, and is the most po
tent factor in the causation of flat-foot
The foot should be placed on the
ground with the ball Of the foot, not
with the heel, first, in order to give
full play to the arch. The knees should
be very slightly bent, just enough 20

these islands have suffered in a re-
markable manner from the northeast
winds, which blow with savage 7io-
lence there during nine months of tue
year. The original area Of the islands
has been greatly reduced by erosion,
and their surfaces are barren and des

all of them except deafness you can

Of ways unawares, and By putting this

fatal. You tell one Of your best anec-

get back to your place again you've

destroys the mutual sympathy Of sit
