A FIat-Footed People.

Sir Alfred Moseley, the English edu.
Gator, who says that few English
schoolboys are fat-footsd, is surprised
by the statement made by Associate
Superintendent Stevens, of this city's
schools, that arched upper surfaces are
lacking to the feet OF one-third OF their
male pupils. Perhaps a greater per
centage of the girls are likewise de

FootbsllerB may be interested in
the following piece OF folklore about
the game. Although It is not gener.

saint. In 1870 boy named Hugh,
who was one OF the champions of his
day, had the misfortune to kick
ball through the window Of 4 Jews
house. Whether the ball struck the
man or any member OF bis family is
not known, but certain It is he was

much cut up about the loss OF their
champion, albeit not as much so as
was Hugh. They severely punished
his slayer. made the young football
player a saint and gave him a big and
expensive funeral. They even wrote
verses, bad verses but still verses, de-
scribing the virtues of sweet Sir

A constant supply Of clear, cool wa
ter in summer, and a stream that will
not freeze In winter, is something to
be desired on every stock farm. This
is not possible with the ordinary pond,
which is often the only source OF sup
ply. However, with suitable arrange
ment Of tile seepage It is possible to
have practically a spring flowing from
your pond winter and summer, and
where the pond is fenced, az it should
be to keep stock out, the water will
be Mt for house use, writes H. F.
Grinstead in the Farm and Home.
When you construct a pond. leave a
gap In the embankment till the tile
and pipe are laid, and II you contem-
plate adding this convenience to a
pond already made, it will have to bo
drained by cutting the dam at the
point where the pipe is to protrude.
In scraping out the dirt make the
bottom Of the pond, or as much OF it
as will be occupied by the ditch, al
most level. In a medium-siEed pond
one line Of tile extending about half
way the length OF the pond will be all
that Is necessary, while in larger ones
and where a larger supply is required,
It will be best to have two lines meet

half as wide, beginning near the ON

the bottom is practically level In tho

ends, so that all water that gets IN

Even the guards with their rifles who

looked square into the girls eyes three
different times as she passed, and she
had read shame. humility, appeal IN

touched. She had almost decided to
appeal to her father to make an in

where men had been wrongfully CON

Miss Graham and Mr.. Lee Benedict

Linda, the colored cook of the Graham
household put It: "Dey's shore gittin

Mr.. Bennett was frequent caller,

the afternoon OF the blood-hound's bay.
He not only did, but he brought news
OF the escape and recapture of a pris-

the feelings Of Miss Myra in the mat

Iceland! The name itself Is barrier
to tourist travel. But let the tourist
ignore prejudice and embark at Copen-
hagen or Leith and he will find a de-
lightful voyage over a smiling summer
sea If he should go during June, July
or August. He will be hardly more
than two days out of sight Of land
the farreaching rockbound coast of
Scotland or the snow crowned peaks of
Iceland-but the journey across will
occupy about four days. For his
amusement the dolphins will tumble,
the whales will spout. the seal will
swim and the sea birds will fly, and
there will be glorious sunrises and sun
sets, with hardly more than two hours
Of night intervening. When he finally
reaches Iceland he will see the sun set
about 11:4O O'Clock and rise again
shortly after IL o'clock. the golden
glow Of the sunset mingling with the
golden glow Of the sunrise.
All these delights cannot be assured
to the winter traveller to Iceland. In
fact, he will be obliged to keep his
lamp burning until 1890 in the morn
ing and then light it again at o'clock
in the afternoon.-Mrs. W. F. Crafts in

A VOLCANIC monument.

Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland, Orc.
One Of the most remarkable rocks in
the world is that known as the bal
ancing rock" which stands on the
bank of the Willamette river a short
distance above the city Of Portland.
Ore. Rising from a broad base is a
small colum2 roughly round in shape.
Just above this is huge mass Of rock
bearing a tree on the summit, the total
height Of rock and column being about
q hundred feet.
Although a great deal larger and
heavier than the pillar on which it
stands, the big rock is very accurately
balanced. For how many centuries
this odd freak has stood not even the
wisest scientists are able to determine.
but it has evidently been there for a
very long period.
The entire rock is of a volcanic ma
ture. and the most singular thing
about it is the fact that the knob and
pillar are entirely disjointed from one
another. Wind and weather no doubt
are slowly wearing the balancing
rock" away, but the process Is so i'm
perceptible that, failing some unfore-
seen catastrophe, the monument will
probably endure for many centuries.-

Making Up an Actor.

In making up an amateur actor
should remember that rs little paint as
possible should be used, for, while 1t is
easy to disguise by a thick mask of
pigment, the heavier the makeup the
more difficult it is to convey sensitive
emotional variations by the changing
expression Of the face. II it II posi-
BILE to arrange ones own hair In q way
suitable to the character 50 much tho
better, for, though it may in no way
seem more real than a wig. it will
prove infinitely more comfortable.
When the actor looks NJ much like the
part as he possibly can without the aid
of artificial disguise he begins to apply
nose paste, paint and powder, obliter-
ating one characteristic and accentuat-
ing another, painting the eyebrows out
and redrawing them, changing the col

the eyes and sinister lines running
from the nostrils. He adds a roughly

druH Germ Destroyer 10
Nswbro's Hsrpicide.
The discovery of the dandruff germ
as the cause of all hair troubles is not
a recent event. Prof. Unna gave the
germ theory to the world in 1887 and
two years later Sabouraud by his ex-
periments with rabbit proved beyond
a doubt the actual existence of this
germ.
On the heels of this establishment
of the germ theory came the discovery
of Newbro's Herpicide. This was the
first and only remedy for the destruc-
ton of the dandruff germ.
There have been other preparations
alleged to kill this germ, stop falling
hair and itching of the scalp But New
bros Herpicide really does these
things For this reason it has long
been known as the original remedy
and the only one that is genuine.
Don't be fooled by preparations
which are trading upon the marvellous
success of Herpicide. Remember you
take no chances with Newbro's Herpi-
eide 1t is absolutely guaranteed.
