A great writer once said. 1.-THE van
ity of woman dies hard"
Foolish man! It never dies at all.
and of all the prides there is none SO
hard to subdue as that q woman takes
in her little feet and trim ankles.
Little feet. however, are deform-
ity, or rather feet too small to har-
monte with the figure are. Better
that the foot be too large, IL shapely,
than too small.
Think of a Juno who stands feet z
inches and tips the scales at $50
pounds lettering to and fro on num-
Der one or number two feet! She
should have number four foot at the
very least, and a number six would
not be out of proportion.
To Judge by the ideas of the Greeks
and Romans beautiful feet are those
which are large enough to carry the
body most gracefully. The ancients
admired stately carriage. Latin
poets speak of the gait of their beau
ties, rather thai of their feet.
"Shall l be tried in this manner"
says Juno, Il, who walk the queen OF
the gods?"
In the "Iliad," Homer paid homage
to Thetis, the silver-footed queen: and
Paris, when making choice among the
many beautiful. maidens brought be-
fore him, did not forget the attrac-
tons of their feet
Their gait he marked, as gracefully they
moved.
And round their feet his eye sasacious
rOved.
Poets and romancers have ever
raved over the beauties of the human
foot divine" How beautiful are thy
feet with sandals, o Princes daugh-

Adventurous Career Of Present
French Minister Of Finance.
M. Rouvier, the present French
minister of finance and far and away
the most powerful individuality of the
present cabinet at Paris, with the ex-
ception of M. Delcase, commenced
life as book agent and as drummer
for book dealer who sold on the in
stallment plan voluminous works Of
the kind given as prizes to lads In
the lycee schools. Subsequently he
entered the service of a Greek mer-
chant named Zafiopoulo established
at Marseilles, and while in his en-
ploy took charge in turn Of the va
rious branches Of the business at Con.
stantinople. Alexandria. Odessa and
Smyrna, acquiring in that way an
amount Of knowledge of the condi'
tons Of the levant and Of the Med
iterrarean which is possessed by no
other French statesman Of the pres.
ent day. He is a past master in the
art of finance and although. like all
men of strong character, he has many
enemies. yet it is pretty generally &C
knowledged alike by friend and by
foe, that he is prominently the ex-
pert needed at the present moment at
the head Of the treausry Of France.

Extinct Bison.

Now and then psychologists are
able to obtain complete skulls, with
horn cores attached, of the extinct
'long- horned" bison, or buffalo, that
roamed over the whole of North
America before. during, and at the
close of the glacial era, but the
United States National Museum Is
the only institution that is for
tunate enough to possess pair Of
horns OF this animal. They were
procured by Professor Dali in his last
trip to Alaska in a glacial moraine,
where they had lain in ice. snow and
freezing water, perfectly preserved.
from the day the animal died, cen.
turtles ago, in the late quarternary
period. to the present. The old
''long-horned" buffalo was larger than
the modern plains buffalo. The
horns are as long as those Of an old
time Texas steer.
