Characteristics Of Feet,

Scientists are always discovering
new things, in which we differ
from the people Of Europe. The
latest Of these is feet.
The French foot is narrow and
long. The Spanish foot is small
and elegantly curved-thanks to its
Moorish blood-corresponding to
the Castilian's pride Of being high
in the instep." The Arabs foot
is proverbial for its high arch. The
Koran says that a stream Of water
can run under the true Arabs foot
without touching il. The foot OF
the Scotch is high end thick; that
of the Irish flat and square the Eng
lish short and fieshy.
When Athens was in her zenith
the Grecian foot was the most per-
fectly formed and exactly proper
toned Of that Of any Of the human
race. Swedes, Norwegians and
Germans have the largest feet,
Americans the smallest. Russian
toes are "webbedn to the first joint.
Tartarian toes are all the same
length.-ChicagU Journal.

To-day Mrs. Cleveland is living

town of Princeton, not far from the
college. Here her husband enjoys the
rural pastimes for which he will be
famous in history, and here Mrs.
Cleveland presides over menage
which is distinguished for its quiet
and unobtrusive elegance. A large
house, finely situated in the heart
OF Princeton, affords the setting for
a display of hospitality which is taxed
to its utmost all the year round.
Mrs. Cleveland has a fine turnout,

Mrs. Cleveland preserves her ira

while she assumes ii Dutch simplicity

with fine taste, which is the admira-
ton of all who visit the Cleveland

Mrs. Cleveland is prominent in sew

by any means, she takes womanly
interest in matters that pertain to
the education of children and the
placing of education in the reach of

Mrs. Cleveland is now about 3s years

If Mrs Cleveland carries out her

Cleveland is not a society man. and
a dancing function bores him, while
the formal reception is to him

were reduced to l in every 20 square

would be only 90 schools in the coun-
ty; each school would have the funds

Der of children per school would be

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DIR. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Laryngi-
its, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she Is entirely cured. "

the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testihes.

NEGRO EDUCATION.
Booker T.. Washington Says the Ne
gro Race should be Slow to
Abandon the Farm.

With the negro, as with every weak
and inexperienced race, it is impor-
tant that he be taught that his sal
walton is in learning to own and cult
vate intelligently and slSillfully the
soil. To the negro just now this is
the wheat-all else the chaff. Agricul-
ture will prove our salvation, and the
race should be slow to abandon the
farm. just now large proportion of
the race needs thai education which
will make the youth return to the
farm end produce so bushels of corn
where only 25 grew before, rather
than yield to the temptation to go to
the city and attempt to live by their
wits. Those who would help save my
race would use their influence to keep
them out of the large cities. and espe-
cially the cities of the north These
are some of the lessons that Hampton
and Tusl1egee constantly teach. The
time has come when we must see to
it that all the people in the south
have the fullest opportunities for the
best education. All must be educated
poverty the south has done well, but
the tremendous demands upon her for
the education of two races should en-
list your hearty interest and support.
Providing education in the south is
not matter of aims or mere philan-
thropy; it is a matter of business that
concerns the whole country.-Booker
Il. Washington.
