FRENCH HEEL WINS
IT'S IMMIGRATION. i
Surgeons Find Epidemic o,
Broken Foot Arches to Be Due
to Sneaker" Shoes.

Cases of broken arches of the feet
of women are increasing in number,
and orthopedic surgeons for the last
month or two have been keeping the
makers of special shoes busy with or
ders.
Strange as it may seem, the trou-
BILE is traced not to the high heeled
footgear which has from time to time
been so severely attacked by critics,
but to the roomy, easy old shoes, the
comfortable slippers and the heelless
rubber soled sneakers" of mountain
and camp.
This uncomfortable condition has
been observed mostly with women
and girls, although many men and
boys are also sufferers.
1T could hardly be called an cpl
demic," said DR.. Virgil P. Gibney, the
well known orthopedic surgeon, for
the cause of the trouble varies in in
dividuals. The foot is made up of
series OF small bones in the form of
an arch The weakness OF certain
ligaments which sustain it ordinarily
causes the arch to fall, and the result
is what is termed the broken arch, or
fiatfoot.
"Often the condition is traced to
slight strain, which causes the per-
son affected to favor one foot more
than the other, and thus gradually to
develop structural weakness.
IF the race went barefooted there
would be no broken arches, for ma
ture causes the foot to maintain the
arch The French shoes, which bring
the heel toward the middle of the
sole and act as support, give to the
natives of France good carriage,
which is observed even in the bour-
goisie. They do not have broken
arches.
Easy old shoes, especially il they
were badly made originally, and
lounging slippers are largely respon-
sible for flatfoot. for when they are
worn the ligaments and muscles re-
lax and become weakened. New
York Herald.

The gate of the enchanted king
dom is opened to us by the touch of
a great hand, but the treasure of hap
piness and profound insight may
come from those who by some I'M
known magic play profoundly on the
emotions, touch the heart, make us
feel them to be friends, brothers. in
mates of our dwellings, and compan-
ions of our walks. To those who love
him, Robert Louis Stevenson in such
a one, says the Christian Register.
He seems more vital, more active,
more inspired, than when he lived,
and, when we read his beautiful es-
says, we say, with tears in our eyes
and gratitude filling the heart, He,
too, was a great teacher of religion.

Peruvian Aguardiente.

Peru is an immense country and
in one section Of it, known as the
Tambo valley, the principal produc-
ton is aguardiente, which is made
from the juice of sugar and contains
twenty per cent. alcohol. Consul
General S, M. Taylor says that this
liquor is consumed largely by the Pc
ruvian Indians and so many of them
die from the effects of it that the
population is materially decreasing.
The valley is located so high that only
the natives enjoy good health there,
hence it would be difficult to find ems
igrants to replace the natives, as
would seem necessary at an early
date. In the valley there is one good
plant for making cane sugar and
aguardiente, but all the rest are quite
primitive in their construction.
More or less rice is produced in
the same valley, and it is said that
the grain is large and sweet in favor
and when bolted it augments much
more than any other kind. 1t always
commands higher price than any
other rice. 1t is stated incidentally
that there is only one good rice mill
in the valley of Tambo. and that is
from the United States. The others
are primitive wooden stamp mills
driven by water wheels. Louisiana

do well, when good day comes, to

The shrike, with his larder Of luck
less impaled little creatures, stands
almost as a type of the terrific cruel
ties of nature 1t is quite impossible
to contemplate them for any length
of time, so as to arrive at clear
realization of them, without being
rather terrified and appalled,. 1t is
all such hideous carnage. One be-

the king of beasts to the pussy cat

and they all set to to ply their trade
without ceasing until their last
breath, which they probably draw in
the clutches of a bigger murderer
than themselves. And yet the strange
thing about it all--the thing which
we are bound to realize, unless we
are to lose all faith in the goodness
Of the Creator of it's that there
is no cruelty in it at all. Both those
that murder and those which suffer
numbering seem to enjoy their life
with a passionate zest not given to
man, just because it is wholly un-
conscious zest and because they have
not the human imagination which
would make mans life, in their case,
misery by reason of his constant APP
prehension of the murderer selling
him. Their concern with life is to
live it, not to foresee, fearfully, it's
probably sudden and violent end.
And perhaps the suddenness and vio-
lence of the end may be the happiest
fate of all; and murder, the crown
ing mercy. Westminster Gazette.

Honest bankers and the gener

Honest bankers and the general
public will welcome this accession of
new vigor in the control of the ma
tional banks, exults the Pittsburg
Dispatch. There have been just crit
icisms of the system of examinations
that has permitted dishonest bank
officials to get away with everything
save the real estate and fixtures. A
few glaring examples Of that sort
have raised i question as to whether
examination possessed any value in
protection OF the public Comptroller
Murray has answered this question to
his own satisfaction. He has no faith
in the prefunctory visits of examiners
having as their chief object the col
lection of tho legal fee. But he be-
lieves examination can be made eff
fective. And he is taking measures
to make it So to the extent of the
power vested IN his Office.

The news is waited from Paris thas
more attention is being paid to the
fan by Parisians this season than this
note of the toilette has received for
many years. And to be really fol-
lower of the vogue every woman
must have fan that differs from any
other woman's. The pleasant result,
confesses the Boston Transcript, is
that many women artists who have
been none too successful in disposing
of their efforts have found an agree
able way to make the pot boil Even
men, who have not yet attained the
fame they are seeking, have been
glad to turn to fan painting as a
means to an end. If the reign of the
fan continues for any length of time,

long as the picturesque toilettes worn
at present remain, it is quite possible
