have been a sandal. Way back in the
Roman, Egyptian, and Greek days men
wore sandals of hide or leather or wood.
When read of shoes in the Bible
know that sandals were meant. In Egypt
they made sandals woven from palm leaves
and papyrus 1t was the fashion for con-
quering Egyptian to have painted on the
soles of his shoes the figures and faces of his
conquered enemies.
In early times the sandal took on many

Though lately it is claimed that the men are
rising up and trying to demand the vote.
On rough estimate it is declared that
seven millions of square miles, or one-eighth of
the total land surface of the world, are wait

sand of this lies in the arctic regions of the
north, but among the frozen tracts that form
antarctics in the south, where Scott and

three million square miles are relegated to the

ankle and was worn whenever quick move

1t is curious to realize that vast portions
of the British empire have never been seen
by British eyes or the eyes of any white
man. Nearly a quarter of Australia is still
unexplored, mainly In the west, where the
population averages only one person in every
twenty square miles.
New Guinea has baffled countless expedi-
tions, though many are trying to fight their
way inland from the coast.

In Arabia it seems that there is a tract of
land unexplored, which is nearly five times as
large as Great Britain. Probably there is
more desolate waste to be found in the entire
globe than that which is called the dwelling
of the void" Not single river is estimated

by medical men as a more or less dan
- gerous habit, but it's really evil effects
are being more and more recognized
each year. People who persstently indulge
in day dreams suffer gradual weakening of
the brain which in time is likely to develop
into insanity or temporary mental prostration.
The power of calling up a scene or a person
to the minds eye belongs in a certain meas
ure to all, but some possess it to an extraordi-
nary degree.
Such was the case of famous portrait
painter who was content with only a half
hour sitting from his model. Afterwards he
could call up the mental portrait at will and
finish his picture from that. When his power
became too highly developed it was a disease,
and after while the faculty failed. The
mental portraits became mixed in his mind and
he ultimately died insane.
But if day dreaming is harmful. so Is the
