Scientists were never so busy in GU
riouS lines of investigation as in these
days, and now they tell us that the
shape of the foot has features which
distinguish one race from another. The
French foot is narrow and long. The
Spanish foot Is small and elegantly
curved-thanks to it's Moorish blood
corresponding to the Castilian's pride
of being high In the instep." The
Arabs foot is proverbial for its high
arch. The Corean says that stream
of water can run under the true Arabs
foot without touching 1t. The foot of
lhe Scotch is high and thick; that of
the Irish, fiat and square; the English
short and teshy.
When Athens was in her zenith the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly proportioned OF

Norweglans and Germans have the
largest feet, Americans the smallest

A certain amount of crying Is abso-
lutely necessary; this is the only way
a baby can exercise his lungs; under
no circumstances should he be given
soothing syrup" to quiet him. A
young mother will soon learn to dis

sharp, but not continuous, often ac-
companied by contractions of the fea-
lures and drawing up of the legs.
Before and after the baby Is fed his
mouth should be wiped out gently
with a piece Of soft linen or absorbent
cotton dipped in boriC acid solution.

Why Women Snub other Women.
81 Y sometimes shocks sensitive
man TO hear women tell how coolly
and rudely they have snubbed other
women. A man dslikes to hurt the
feelings of another man, even though
he has just cause for hurting them
When he Is obliged to resent an injury
or deliver a rebuke he does SO usually
with some reluctance. But the ordin
Of pleasure in snubbng.
Women have a gentle way Of cutting
other women whose acquaintance they
desire no longer. Men Will continue for
years to nod to a man whom they do
not like and who can be of no service
to them; but women carry no supernu-
merary or detrimental acquaintance.
When they no longer have either regard
or use for a woman they fail to see her
at the next meeting. After one or two
such experiences the other woman I'M
derstands.
Stumbling generally is a cruel and
silly practice. There are persons whose
conduct may make It necessary to drop
them from ones acquaintance, but a
great deal of snubbing Is done out of
sheer wantonness. The true lady, of
course, never snubs another unless she
has good reason. Most of the snubbing
Is done by snobs who deem themselves
better than other people, and who, as
they extend their acquaintance among
fashionable people, drop their old
| friends as detrimental to their social
progress.
Women do most of the snubbing be-
cause the majority of them not having
to earn their own living, do not appre-
ciate the advantage of having a large
acquaintance friendly disposed. man
knows that the most insignificant per-
son may some day have 1t in his power
to do him favor or hurt. He knows
that 1t Is very bad policy to turn even
the humblest friend into a foe. But
the women that have not made their
own living have not learned this lesson.
Women generally are not so friendly
to one another as men are to men.
When two men, hitherto strangers, are
introduced to each other, they shake
hands and fall at once, If circumstances
be favorable, into pleasant intercourse
Each is willing to please and to be
pleased. Each meets the other half
way. But when two women meet each
other for the first time both are likely
to be slow in making overtures. They
are distant and formal In manner.
Each eyes the other sharply, takes her
in from hat to boots, notes the details
of her appearance, listens critically to
her conversation, and decides by some
instructive, inexplicable process that
she likes her or does not like her. Men
approach each other In an amicable,
women in a hostile, state of mind. A
man expects to find friend. A woman
expects to find a foe. The difference
springs from the difference between n
mans life in the world and a womans
life in the parlor,-San Francisco Bull.
