Feet of the Nations.

In future when We want to discover
a mans nationality we shall no long
er require to persuade him to talk
to see whether his speech ~betrayeth
him, all we will have to do is to look
at his feet. According to n who has
been studying the feet of the nations
each has its own peculiar national
characteristics, which form an import
ant clew to the race to which owner
belongs.
Thus the French foot, it is pointed
out, is narrow and long. The Spanish
foot is small, and elegantly curved
THANKS to its Moorish blood-corres-
pondtng to the Castilian's pride of be-
ing high in the instep." The Arabs
foot is proverbial for its high arch.
The Koran says that a stream of wa
ter can run under the true Arabs foot
without touching it. The foot of the
Scotch is high and thick. That of the
Irish fiat and square, the English short
and 1eshy.
When Athens was in the zenith the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly proportional OF
any of the human race. Swedes, Nor
wegians, and Germans have the larg,
est feet, Americans the smallest.

Dunn, who, the jurors we're satisfied,
wrote the letters, one of which de-
manded $4,000 from President Wilson
under pain of death. The defendants
were remanded for sentence.
The two defendants were the last
witnesses, and both entered a general
denial of the allegations against
them. Both denied ever having seen
the letters which it is charged Dunn
wrote, and in answer to their coun-
sells questions they branded as false
the accusation that they had sem the

card when it produced William J.
Kinsley, the handwriting expert, who
made duplicate photographs of the
standards obtained by the Govern
ment detectives and the letters re-
ceived by President Wilson and the
other compliments. Kinsley was in

Warren F. Johnson told of opening
the letter to President Wilson and of
turning it over to Mr.. Tumulty.
