Shoes.

Never wear shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot tight any
where.
Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear a shoe that will not al
low the great toe to lie in a straight
line.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon. White cotton drilling or
linen is healthier.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe with sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract
Never have the top of the boots tight,
as it interferes with the action of the
calf muscles, makes one walk badly
and spoils the shape of the ankle.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting make them
grow not only large, but unsightly. A
proper natural use of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.

HOW the cobra Give, wnrninr


The most dangerous reptiles of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes, are more dread
ed, and with reason. AS the rattle
snake warns the ear by its significant
rattle" so the cobras warn the eye by
the mode in which they expand the up
per part of the body when irritated
This expansion is produced by a sud
den movement of the ribs of that re-
gion of the body. Usually they incline
backward, but the animal when irritat-
ed makes them stand out at right an
giles to the body and so, of course,
forces outward the skin which covers
them. Thus the neck, or part just be-
hind the head, becomes greatly ex-
banded and iattened, as it also does,
though in less degree, in the Austria
Ian blacksnake.
This expansion is called hood, and
so the animals are called hooded
snakes. In some Of them there is on
the back of the hood a dark mark,
something like pair of spectacles. and
they have therefore been called specta-
Gle snakes.

DON'T READ IN BED.
ht In q Dangerous Practice While
IxfnQr Darn SAYS nm Aufhnrifv

Lying Down, Says an Authority.
Reading in bed is seriously advised,
90 the newspapers say, by a physician
as conducive to repair and resting -
relieving congestion" Complying the
veins overilled by prolonged eyework,"
etc.
1t is plain that placing the head back
In a horizontal position so absolutely
meets the whole problem of relief Of
congestion by gravity-and it is such a
very important problem-that it seems
strange that people with weak eyes
do not habitually practice reading in a
recumbent position perfectly comforta
BILE. Such advice, carried out with alb
solute care as to light and the position
of the book, would in the case of a
thousand busy people add largely to
the number of hours which reading
could be INDUCED in without detriment
to the eyes or general health.
Certainly the one who gives this
strange and pernicious advice could
never have tried the plan. Some years
ago there was described a patented &c
vice for suspending the book over the
horizontally placed head of sick per
son whereby reading would be possible
without holding the book in the hands.
Even then one wonders how the light
could be made to fall properly on the
page. Without a method of the kind
not even a well person could hold a
book five minutes above the eyes.
Reading in bed has ruined thousands
Of good eyes. Unless one sits up in
bed as if in a chair it is impossible to
hold the book in such a position that
the arms are not quickly tired and so
that the light falls on it properly. When
reading lying down, there is traction
upon the inferior recti muscles which is
highly injurious. Every patient should
be warned never to read in bed except
when sitting up as vertically as in a
chair.-American Medicine.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in their
habits of life. Some species grow al
together beneath the water, attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level,
other frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide, while
others yet are found in situations
where they are scarcely ever covered
by water. Whereas most of them at
tach themselves to rocks or solid bot
tom, keeping to the shadows, there are
exceptions to the rule, among which
the most remarkable is the sargasso

THE GAME OF GAMES.
Golf, Says This Writer, Involves Art.
Science and InsBfratfon

Science and Inspiration.
1t is true that there is point of
view from which golf may be regarded
as an extremely simple game-the very
simplest of all the games with a ball
and a club, says William 9. Brown in
the June Atlantic. The players object
is simple and single to the point of
simple mindedness and siugularity, one
might say-to put small ball In
small hole with the fewest possible
strokes. But so are the objects of the
highest ambitions, the guiding stars of
careers the most perplexed and devi-
GUS. 1t is true, likewise, that all the
countless strokes a golfer makes are
resolvable into three kinds of stroke
driving, approaching and putting. But
Mr.. Eyerard, in lecture unsurpassed
for truth and brilliancy by any in all
the extremely clever literature of golf,
strokes Alright one must have 'art, sci
ence and Inspiration
From the moment the ball leaves the
tee, whether it be topped, pulled or
sliced or whether, struck in proper
fashion a trifie below the medal line
and urged forward with an exquisite
free lashing out of the wrists, it takes
fight as with wings and seeks its true
course as with a mind and purpose of
its own until it drops into the cup with
a Naturalization that no louder clang
or paan ever surpassed in it's sugges-
ton of victory and consummation,
there is no foreseeing what perplexity
or temptation to carelessness or over
confidence it will present.
Not twice off the tee ground and the
putting green will the possibilities and
probabilities of the stroke be quite the
same. In the lie, the wind, the dis
lance to be traversed, the obstacles to
be carried, there are variations not to-
be reckoned by any known mathemat-
les.
Then, as the match approaches its
dreadfully quiet climax of defeat or
victory, the responsibility may grow
positively appalling. The very DELHI

games, is so characteristic of this, SO

nerves, undoubtedly heightens it. One
has time to estimate the emergency, to
realize the crisis.
Not the fercest rally at tennis, not
the longest and timeliest home run at
baseball, not the most heroic rush at
football, requires a more rigid concen-
tration of thought and energy or
more dauntless courage than the flick
of putter that sends the bah crawl
ing ON its last little journey across the
putting green when the put is for the
hole and the hole means the match.

The value of the Ruby.

The ruby is valued highest when il
contains the least azure. The largest
ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria, the wife OF
Charles TX. 1t was almost as big as a
hens egg. The virtues attributed to
rubies are to Danish sadness. to repress
luxury and to drive away annoying
thoughts. At the same time it sym
bolizes cruelty. anger and carnage, as
well as boldness and bravery. A change
in its color announces a calamity, but
when the trouble is over it regains its
primitive luster.
