The custom of wishing a friend "a
happy foot" is to be found In all parts
Of Europe, and it goes to show how
much superstition is connected with
our footgear. 1t is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en-
ables person to walk in comfort. is
symbolical Of happiness.
The accidental placing Of the right
shoe on the left foot, putting a shoe on
awry or the breaking of a lace is a
bad sign from the popular point of
view. To tie the shoe of another indi-
vidual is Indicative Of humility and
lowly position, yet the Chinese wor-
ship the shoes of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition in
some parts of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries before her sisters the latter should
dance at her wedding without shoes in
order to insure husbands for them
selves. On ST. Valentines eve, accord
ing to a similar custom, girls should
hang their shoes outside the window if
they wish to secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success and wear them on all i'm
portant occasions.

Sernent Wnrshin.

1t was probably in the character of a
healer that the serpent was regarded
by the Milesians, since most of the To-
calities Of Ireland connected with ira
ditions of these reptiles destroyed by
st. Patrick were esteemed places Of
healing. To these spots, generally holy
wells, the people of the poor and igno-
rant classes still resort as pious pill
grims taking relief from their infirmi-
ties. They drink of the sacred waters
and circle about the fount on their
knees while repeating their prayers,
and it Is curious fact, as we are in
formed by an old time traveller in Ire
land, that this circling was formerly
done "groveling on hands and knees or
even lying fiat on the ground and wrig-
Cling like a snake" This must IN
doubtedly have been a relic of the an
cient rites, though the people had not
the slightest idea of it's origin or even
that such religion had ever existed
on their island.
In the same way they still on Bel
tame eve Bel-tinne, or Bells fire. kindle
"bale fires" on the summit of every
hill and send flaming wheels rolling
down their sides, though ignorant that
they are celebrating day consecrated
to Bel. or Baal, by their Phenician and
Irish ancestors, who observed it in a
precisely similar manner

Montezuma,s Well.

One of the most pleasing natural
curiosities in the territory of Arizona
is the pool of water known as Monte
zuma's well. 1t is situated Is miles
northeast of the old abandoned mill
tary post known as Camp Verde. 1t is
$50 feet in diameter, and the clear,
pure water is about 60 feet below the
surface of the surrounding country.
Some years ago certain military Off
GERS sounded the pool and found that
1t had uniform depth of 80 feet of
water except in one place, apparently
about six feet square, where the sound
ing line went down about 500 feet
without touching bottom.
The well empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant. the wa
ter gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The well is undoubtedly supplied from
subterranean sources, possibly through
the hole sounded by the army officers
years ago. The sides of the well are
honeycombed with caves and tunnels,
permitting sightseers to descend to the
waters edge.
Montezuma's well contains no fish
The flow of water from it is the same
throughout the season. Popular opin.
lon has attributed the origin of the
well to volcanic action, but as the rock
surrounding it is limestone it is more
than probable that the action of the
water Is responsible for its creation

Why They Were selected.

1t has been recorded that General
Henry Knox, in 1888. was the great
est of II distinguished officers of the
army, weighing go pounds. Noah
Brooks, in his book entitled Henry
Knox" gives the following incident re-
lating to the generals full habit:
With Captain Sargent. he was Sc
lected to present the hard case of the
starving and naked men at Valley
Forge to the attention of committee
of congress. One of the congressman,
wishing to show his wit and sarcasm,
said that he had never seen a fatter
man than General Knox nor better
dressed man than his associate.
Knox managed to keep his temper
and remained silent, but his subor-
dinate retorted. 1.-The corps. out OF re-
spect to congress and themselves, have
sent as their representatives the only
man who had an ounce of superfluous
flesh on his body and the only other
man who possessed complete suit of
clothes"

Millions Made by Planting Trees.

Any one who takes a vital interest In
the welfare of his grandchildren can
insure their being rich by planting
trees on treeless land, which land he
can leave to them in his will. Some
big British fortunes have been provid-
ed for in this manner. A predecessor
of the present Duke of Athole had lot
of land, but it was nj especially valu-
able-in fact, he was LAND POOR"
He determined that his descendants
should fare better and 50 began plant
ing trees. In the course CT his lifetime
he planted 14,095,T19 larch trees alone,
covering an area of 1924 acres His
last plantation covered 1900 acres,
which in the ordinary way becomes a
forest of mature timber 20 years aftel
planting. Trimmed down to about 500
trees an acre. each tree will contain at
least 80 cubic feet of timber, which. at
% cents foot, gives a sum of $4,37j
an acre, total for the value of the
timber on the last plantation alone of
$34,500,000.

wealth Of the ancient house of Athoie
is said to have been only about $15.0GC

the labor of planting them. The main

of the profits arising from the sale OF
young wood when thinning the planta.

To Be Cheerful.

The sovereign. voluntary path to
cheerfulness, if oyr spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully.
to look around cheerfully and to act
and speak as If cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else will on that occasion So, to feel
brave, act as If we were brave. use all
our will to that end, and a courage fit
will very likely replace the fit of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a
person to whom we have been inimical,
the only way is more or less deliberate
ly to smile. to make sympathetic in
quiries and to force ourselves to say
genial things. One hearty laugh to-
gether will bring enemies into closer
communion of heart than hours spent
on both sides in inward wrestling with
the mental demon of uncharitable feel.

Some system Of notation has been
used since time out of memory. The
first record we have of it is of figures
written with stick on fiat surface
covered with sand. Before that all
calculations were made with pebbles,
beans and the like. Even now the
Chinese do their calculating with little
stones or beads strung on wires, in a
frame. The Romans first used vertical
.ines-I, II. Ill, etc.-to express num-
bers. The Arabic figures, which we
commonly use at the present time. are
of much earlier date.
The Arabic system is chiefly valu-
able on act cunt of the great conven-
fence it affords by giving a figure a
value according to the place it occu-
pies in the line. BY this system the
most enormous sums can be expressed
by the ten little characters which form
the numerical alphabet.

No Pegs.

Beerbohm Tree had a comical expe-
rience on his first appearance as the
corpulent Falstaff. In the last act he
had arranged that Falstaff, discomfort
ed by gibes and Bullets of the fairies
in Windsor forest, should make one
herculean effort to climb the oak tree.
The pegs that were to serve as sup
ports for that tree were always con-
spicuous by their absence. On the
morning before the performance Mr..
Tree was told they should positively be
fixed on the tree. The morning came,
but with it no pegs. Eloquence was
stifed; even invective faltered. He
pointed to the tree and with the calm
of despair blurted out to the defaulter,
mo pegs~
Such an ejaculation, spoken more in
sorrow than in anger, would, he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant of con-
science which even the papier mache
bosom of property man might be sup
posed to retain. In the evening there
was dress rehearsal, but still no pegs
could be seen. Mr.. Trees form quiv-
ered-beneath the padding pent
up emotions, and in torrent of pas
sion and voice shaken by righteous
wrath he exclaimed:
Where are those pegs?"
"Pegs-pegs!" exclaimed the property
master. with exasperating affability.
"Why. guv'nor, what was your words
to me this morning? No pegs And

A Kindly Joke.

Judge Braxfield, famous in England
for his love for hanging criminals,
when on circuit always put up near
Perth with a crony who was devoted
to chess. The laird had rather the bet
ter Of his lordship at the game. In
the revolution of the circuits Braxfield
found himself trying his hospitable
friend, who had got awkwardly mixed
up in some abduction of cattle. The
evidence was clear, the panel was con-
victed and the judge passed the solemn
sentence of death. Then, bending
down, he chuckled to the unfortunate
prisoner = the accommodation in the
provincial courts was cramped-"And
