Wind and Sea.

The sea is a iovial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimpline
lines
That wrinkle his hale repose;
He lays himself down at the feet of the
sun,
And shakes all over with g1ee.
And the broad-backed pillows fall faint
the shore
In the mirth of the mighty sea.
But the wind is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain;
You may bark at will, by valley or hill
But you hear him still complain
He walls on the barren mountains
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
RE sobs in the cedar and means in the
pine.
And shoulders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter which slips from the oceans
lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest
There's a pang in all rejoicing
A joy in the heart of pain,
And the wind that saddens, the sea that
gladdens.@
Are singing the self-same strain.

Beauty Of Wo17en;s Feet
Some Pointers on That Most Important
Part OF the Human Form Divine Shape
Eness of the Most Importance.

A great writer once said. 1.-THE van
fty of woman dies hard"
Foolish man, 1t never dies at all,
and of all the prides there is none so
hard to subdue as that a woman takes
in her little feet and trim ankles.
Little feet, however, are a deform-
fty, or rather feet too small to har-
monte with the figure are Better
that the foot be too large, if shapely,
than too small
Think of Juno who stands feet
inches and tips the scales at $50
pounds lettering to and fro on num-
Der one or number two feet, She
should have a number four foot at the
very least, and 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 a stately carriage Latin
poets speak of the gait of their beau
ties, rather thar of their feet
Shall 1 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-
lions of their feet
Their gait he marked. as gracefully they
moved
And round their feet his eye sagacious
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-

FOUGHT WAY TO GREATNESS.

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 q 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-
tions of the levant and of the Med
iterranean which is possessed by no
other French statesman Of the pres
ent day. He is past master in the
art of finance, and although, like all
men of strong character, he has many
enemies, yet it is pretty generally ac-
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.

1.-THE best acting is not done on the
STAGE said the old timer In my
opinion neither Joseph Jefferson nor
any other professional ever touched
some of the acting I used to see in
the old fake auction shops in Chi
cago thirty years ago and more These
fake auction shops were little stores
opening on to the street, in which all
sorts of bogus and worthless goods
were auctioned on to the highest bid
der. Here is a scene 1 once saw acted
in one of the best known shops:
1.-The auctioneer was trying to sell
some brass jewelry. About him were
gathered eight or ten stool pigeons
and 'cappers,' men in the hire of the
house whose business it was to bid up
prices on everything offered for sale,

later was forbidden to the Roman

Petrarch admires in his Laura her
walk above all else. He counts it
chief of her four principal charms.
Dryden, too, is not proof against
the charms of the female foot and
walk:
In length of train descends her sweeping
gown,
And by her graceful walk the Queen of
Love is known.

has often been used purposely to ex-
