A Close Call.
the London Sketch.

From the London Sketch.
Sergeant Hoff, who has just died in Paris,
was the hero of a good many stories. Dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war he won the
Legion of Honor for gallantry in the field.
but some of his actions were such as to
make the Prussians swear to shoot him II
ever they got hold of him. During the siege
of Paris Hoff was captured, but he tore or
the signs of his rank, threw away his cross
and called himself Private Wolff" The
Prussians. however, suspected his identity
and determined to set trap for him. One
DAY when Sergeant Hoff was washing vege-
tables for dinner a Prussian officer came
into prison and shouted out "Hoffl' The
sergeant did not move. The officer then
said Here is a letter for Sergeant Hon,
whose parents are very i'll" AS no one
answered, the officer went up to each man
and examined him closely, but those who
were in the secret and knew that Private
Wolff was really Sergeant Hoff did not even
look his way. At last the officer went up
to Hoff and looked him full in the face, but
Hoff was apparently absolutely unconcern-
ed. He confessed afterward that he had
never felt SO near death all through the
war, for the Prussians shot and hanged
men ruthlessly for the slightest infra ct ion
Of the laws of war, and Hoff had not al
ways been particular how he made up the
number of thirty of the enemy who had
fallen by his hand.

FEET OF SHOP GIRLS.
Service Behind the Counters Injurious
to Symmetry of Form.

/ From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t has been discovered by a St Louis
physcian-and the same condition no doubt
| exists in other cities-that shopgirls are VIC
| Tins of a disease which. for want of better
| name, is called fiat foot" Saleswomen,
after standing behind the counters of the de-
partment stores all day long. seek relief at
night by standing on broom handles and door
sills. They have to engage in this unique
pastime, DR.. McElwee says, to keep their
feet In natural shape.
Flat foot" according to the physician re-
ferred to, is known to the medical profession
by the name falling arch" and is treated
after the fashion of dislocated limbs. High
heeled shoes are worn by some sufferers for
no other purpose than to offset the effects
of fiat foot" while in other Instances low
heeled shoes seem to furnish relief il all
depending upon the extent OF the aff1iction.
Fiat foot" causes reflected pain-that
is, the pain is felt in the heels and toes in
stead Of in the ball of the foot, where the
| real source lies. 1t also affects the grace OF
walking. fiatt-footed person not being able
to walk with the heels and toes as they
should.
Girls who stand in one position all day
complain at night of their feet hurting and
not a few of them blame the shape of their
shoes Many, however, are aware of the
real cause Of the trouble and treat IL ac-
cordingly. Standing on broomstick ap-
pears to be the most popular form Of treat
ment, though 1t affords only temporary re-
lief.
The sufferer places the broom on the floor
and then steps upon the handle so that the
arch of the foot rests on the handle, with
the heels and toes touching the floor In
this position she stands from five to ten
minutes or until she feels the pain no
longer. Upon arising in the morning she
complains again of the pain. which she fire.
quently attributes to rheumatism.
The treatment for fiat foot prescribed
by some physicians consists Of a plaster-of-
paris sock, which is so constructed as TO fit
the deformity of the foot and at the same
time raise the arch. Specially made shoes
have to be worn with this sock until the
feet resume their natural shape, which
takes several weeks.

PORTO RICo's PROGRESS.
British Consul Reports on Islands In
dustrial Condition.

From the London Times.
The foreign office has issued report (No.
1926, Annual Series, United States) on the
trade of Porto Rico during the year 1901. In
this Mr.. Consul Churchward observes that
unquestionably the chief commercial event
of the year was the Inauguration of free
trade between Porto Rico and the United
States on July 25, after which date the Is
per cent of the full Dingley tariff was no
longer imposed on goods passing between
the island and the continent AS, however
1t was found possible to keep up the old
prices, the purchaseing public had to pay
the same as when the IS per cent impost
vas in force and experienced no relief by
the abolition of duties.
The tables of imports and exports be-
tween the United States 9nd Porto Rico in
the report, being only made up to June 30,
1901, do not show any of the results of the
Introduction Of free trade, but II Is noted in
the text that, so far from its having created

receipts outside commerce increased so
greatly as to make the duties on foreign i'm

HYSTERIA OF A NUN.
Victim Marked by the Devil She
Thinks Possesses Her.

From the Chicago Chronicle .
A series of extraordinary events recently
took place at Rodez, France, which have
excited widespread interest among all
classes. The circumstances were thorough
ly investigated by a representative of
Paris journal. The scene of the occur
rences was the orphan asylum of Grezes,
near Laissac, and they concerned a men,
Der of this asylum, by name Sister Saint
Fleuret. The following Is the result of
the investigation, obtained from absolutely
creditable sources and of which he guar
antees the correctness.
There has been at the orphan asylum for
the past twelve years sister, originally
from the Canton of Bozouis, who is af-
fiicted with a species of madness which
makes her believe that she is possessed by
a devil; her sister superior, the other sis
ters of the asylum and nearly all the &C.
cleSiastics of the country have a similar
belief in her affiiction.
The disease, according to the physicians,
is merely a species of hysteria; natural pre-
disposition which became acute under the
influence Of the surrounding atmosphere.
But the supernatural features are the re-
suit of true auto-suggeStion. In her
paroxysms the sufferer utters piercing
cries of such intensity that the peasants
hear them at great distance from the
convent. During these attacks the patient
believes herself to be bitten or burnt by
the oeVu IN LHls or tnat portion OF her
body. The auto-suggestion Is so strong at
these times that Immediately upon the dis
appearance of the paroxysm there is found
on that portion of the body where the suf-
fering Is most intense, either burn of
the skin or the imprint Of teeth.
Sister Saint-F1euret has a horror of every
religious object and the nearby presence OF
| q figure Of Christ, Of a book Of devotions,
or of any sacred image Immediately throws
her into an almost rabid fit. The most GU
rious circumstance Is that she need not see
these objects, she feels them, she divines
them when they are brought near her even
though carefully hidden, and she immedi-
ately rushes at them to destroy. Further,
she frequently divines the thought of per-
sons who speak to her and she responds
to them In their own language whatever
this language may be- Although she is a
simple peasant who has never received the

An Eight-Hundred-Pound Bear.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
For several years a large brown bear has
been living off the finest and best kids on
the Harlan goat ranch. between Sheet Iron
and st. John peaks Of, the Coast Range
mountains in Glenn county, and recently
party composed Of A. IT. Luttrell, w. L.
Brown and Chris and Helm Harlan OF the
ranch started out with o. PACK of imported
hounds determined to find the efbear.
Just at the ravine which marks the divid-
ing line between the two great peaks above
named the dogs brought him to bay. He
was IN the brush so the men gould not see
him. Both the Harlan boys went into the
brush and he made for them. striking one OF
them such terrific blow as TO knock him
down and tear most of his clothes from bis
body, but fortunately he got away. The
bear then got hold of the other Harlan
ooy, put the dogs piled In % the bear so
tnat ne got away without being badly hurt
ABOUT this time third party got into the

This is perhaps the largest brown bear
