n HINDOO FOOT.
II Is Quite Different From Ours In It's
formation.

In the native quarters of the towns
of India the strange spectacle may be
seen of n butcher Selling n piece of
meat in his hands and cutting 1t In
two with a stroke of his knife held be-
tween the first and second toes of his
foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but
turns the unfinished shoe with his feet,
while his hands are busy in shaping 1t.
So the carpenter holds with his great
toe the board he Is cutting, and the
wood turner handles his tools as well
with his toes as with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in their labor Is not, however.
the mere result of practice, but Is
principally due to the fact that the
Hindoo foot is quite different from
ours in its anatomical conformation.
The ankle of the Hindoo and h ar
ticulation of the back of the foot per-
NIT considerable lateral motion. Then
the toes possess Il surprising mobility.
The great toe can be moved freely in
all directions. and the first and second
toes are separated by Il wide space,
sometimes rs much as five-eighths of
an inch across at the base of the toes
and two inches at their eXtremities.
The articulation of the hip Is also pc
culiar, and this renders it easier to use
the toes in handling the objects by en-
abling the IIindoo to sit in a squatting
posture much more comfortably than
we can do. A similar formation of the
feet and toes Is found among the An
amese, but it is not, rs might be sup
posed. a common thing among barba-
rous and savage tribes.
One naturally thinks of the resem-
blance to a monkey which n human be-
ing using both feet and hands in the
manner described above must present.
and yet the Hindoo foot is not at all
like the foot of an ape or monkey.
The great toe is not opposed to the
other toes like a thumb. as occurs with
the monkey, and accordingly the pedal
dexterity of the Hindoos is not to be
taken as an indication of simian de-
scent.-Pearson's Weekly.

Mica Mining.

Mica mining is one of the greatest
industries in North Carolina. Mica is
found in all sorts of blocks of various
thicknesses and shapes and can be split
and resplit almost ad minimum or until
it becomes the thin, flexible wafer of
commerce.. The material is by nature
imbedded or scattered through the field
spar in masses large or small. close to-
gether or far apart. and is blasted from
the rocks by means of dynamite, the
purer veins being found between walls
of slate. From the mines it is taken to
the shops, where it is split into thin
sheets, trimmed into regular forms and
made ready for the market, the price
varying with the size and color of the
sheets. The average size is about
4 by 6, though rare sheets of "a by Is
inches are sometimes found.

GOOD PROMOTERS.
They Must Possess the Power of In
spring

spring
A story Is told about a young fellow
who applied at a big banking estab-
lishment for a position and who upon
being told that all the clerkships were
filled said quite confidentially. 'Tve
never worked at the promoting bust
ness, but can't you send me to some
friend of yours who needs a pro-
moter?"
Strange indeed 1t Is that almost ev-
cry one of the successful promoters of
the present day Is Il man who went
into the exceedingly difficult work
with scarcely more preparation than
had gone the venturesome youth of this
yarn.
Gifted with good address, control Of
the English language, fiuency of speech
and determination, Il man who EN-
banks in the field has IN his possession
the qualities that have made many
promoters rich and powerful. Many of
them were lawyers to begin with.
Others were life insurance agents.
One or two sold stock in a small way.
Gradually each of these men came to
see that carving out a new way for
himself would give him u wider and
more substantial future. And then at
that moment the promoter was born.
But whether these promoters have
won their spurs by organizing big on
Germs or corporations II by selling
those already in the field there Is not
one of them but will tell you that most
of his success was due to his power to
inspire confidence. \ promoter that
can't make 1.-The other fellow" believe
in him and in his proposition might
better be cleaning the streets. He
never will succeed.
The successful promoter must be
able not only to look men In the eye,
but he must also be able to face the
most discouraging circumstances and
fight his way through them. Fall Is
a word the meaning of which he must
learn.
Alsl the rewards? They range from
millions to a fee of 81 that was once
paid to a promoter who successfully
promoted the amalgamation Of two
competing bootblacking establishments.

Missionaries i'm Danger.

Cincinnati. Feb. 23-Iu answer to a
letter from F. NJ. Rains, correspond
ing secretary for the Foreign Christian
Missionary Society. to the State Depart
ment at Washington regarding the
situation in China, Acting Secretary OF
State Robert Bacon sent the following
letter to Mr.. Rams:
"The condition of affairs in China is
causing this Government much anxiety.
and. while nothing is known here which
would justify TIE immediate withdrawal
of missionaries from the interior, /
would appear prudent to the derart
ment for tie heads of the mis- ions t,
warn all on lying stations o. the appre.
hension caused by their exposed con-
di'ion and to al is them to take cary
steps 10 remove TO places If safe'y at
the first cause for alarm even If such
cause. should appear insignificant and
the danger not imminent.
"This Government is disposed to
afford every protection in lis power TO
its citizens in China, but In case OF an
outbreak such protection would be
much facilitated if American citizens
were congregated in accessible locali-
ties."

Range Wars at an End.

Prineville, Ore., Feb. 21.-Central
Oregon's range wars, which have caused
the loss OF thousands of dollars worth
of live stock during the past few years,
are thing of the past. In view OF the
interior departments recent rulings re-
lative to the grazing of stock in the
forest reserves and the payment of q
nominal fee by the stockmen to the gov
ernment for the range privileges and
protection during the grazing season. it
is not believed that there will be any
more clashes on the public domain
brought about, as in the past, by the
sheep and csttlemen in their struggle
for supremacy in the grazing districts.
Both the latter interests express no
small degree OF satisfaction concerning
the new rulings of the forestry depart.
ment, and this years regulations, W hich
are radical departure from those in
vogue for years past, have been received
with favor.
Stockmen in this section generally
look upon the payment of fee to the
government as the solution of harass-
ing problem, which has assumed each
year, as the ranges become more con-
gested, more disagreeable aspect. al
though it was not until after the sppli-
cations for grazing allotments had been
made and filed last month, and Forest
Supervisor S. G. Bartrum had explained
in detail the new methods to be en-
played by the government that local
stock men came into a tull appreciation
of the advantages to De gained through
the new rulings. Up to that time de-
cided stand had Teen taken against the
proposition to charge for the grazing
privilege. Now there is reversal of
opinion in that respect and Grant
county, along with Crook county, has
through it's stock assocla-
tions, an Endorsement of the govern
ment's new policy. Belief is commonly
voiced that the forestry officials them
selves have practically settled the range |
difficulties, SO far as Central Oregon is
