The wild ASS.

The Wild ass may almost be said to
he the antlthesis OF the domestic spe-
cies. The one is high spirited and un-
tamable. the other the meekest and
most submissive of quadrupeds; the
one Ia as remarkable for its speed as
the other for It's slowness. and, while
the Wild specimen ranks among the
most graceful animals OF creation, ITS
every movement typical Of the I'M
trammeled freedom OF the desert over
which It loves TO roam and OF the I'M
fettered breath OF heaven which seems
to lend It wings, It's subjugated con
gener Is awkward and ungalnly.
In color the roulan. or Wild ass. Is n
creamy white, shading TO fawn on the
back. with a handsome darker stripe
running from wither to tail and a cor
responding marking on each fore leg.
The head and muzzle are finely nodded,
the ears less long and pointed than
those In the tame donkey, the eyes
large and prominent and as bright as
those Of the gazelle, and the legs re-
semble in length and llghtness those
Of the deer. Chambers Journal.

John Muir. the mountain climber and
naturalist lives In one Of the most
beautiful parts Of the Contra Costa
valley In California. A writer In Aims
lees Magazine who had been sojourn-
ing with him tells this story Illustrative
OF his fondness for birds and his wide
humanity:
1t was a fair picture Of peace and
plenty under the soft, blue September
sky. A stream ran close at hand, shad
ed by alders and sycamOres and the
sweet scented wild willow. On the
bank nearest us stood solitary blue
crane surveying us fearlessly. A flock
Of quail made themselves heard In the
underbrush. and low above the vine
yards a shrlke flew, uttering his sharI
cry. Noting him. said to Mr.. Muir:
80 you don't kill even the butcher
birdsT"
"Why, no." he said. "They are not my
birds"

A well known surgeon chlropodist
says: 1.-THE so called common sense
shoe, with it's miserably low, fat heel,
has been the cause of more fat feet and
falling insteps than all other causes
combined" A heel which is lower than
the ball Of the foot, he says, brings all
the pressure on the instep without af-
fording the necessary support for the
arch of the foot, and 1t is therefore but
natural that the arch of the foot should
break or fail, thus giving birth to the
