RUSSIA'S GREAT CLOWN.
Durov Had a Biting Tongue, and He
Dearly Loved Pigs.

The famous Russian clown, Anatoie
Durov, held that, whatever your Voca-
ton, the only thing that brings you sue
cess is work. Accordingly he became
the most Industrious, successful and
beloved clown III Russia and probably
the richest clown in the world. too, for
when he died he left fortune OF 81
100000 and a collection of trained ami
mails that brought visitors to his home
from all over the world.
Born of an ancient and noble family,
he was a pupil of the renowned cadet
corps, but before his graduation he ran
away and joined a circus.
But he had no ambition to be an or
binary clown. He kept in touch with
politics, with everything that took place
in Russia, and applied to it his wit.
Soon he became an unlicensed censor
of Russian society in motley. Evil he
rebuked by jest and gibe. No man was
in too high a place for his tongue, and
furious officials once brought about his
exile Russia loved him too well for
that. however, and soon he was back

be more discreet he appeared with
paddock attached to his mouth.
He was very famous animal trainer.
The pig was his favorite pupil, and it
is said that his pigs could do almost
everything that human beings can do
except talk.
A team of trained pigs drew him
about the streets, and so did he love
them that a pigs head with a d. to
the left was the device upon his seal.
He used to enjoy telling how, when
he was on tour in Germany, one of his
pigs ran away and came finally to
farm not far from Berlin. The farmer,
who was a kind man, gave the tired
looking beast food and drink. To his

FOOT RULES IN OUR ARMY.
Advice Which May Be of Value to tho
General Public

No better advice TO the public can b.
given in reference to the care of their
feet than is embodied in our Army Man
ual of Military Hygiene, which, of
course, is not in general circulation.
The points particularly emphasized
may be paraphrased as follows:
Wear a shoe wide enough and
straight enough on the inner margin to
give the toes space for their proper po-
Sition.
The best treatment OF bunions will
be found in removing the pressure over
the affected joint. This can only be
done by supplying a properly fitted
shoe.
To relieve tngrowtng nails they should
be cut squarely across and not round
ed. Scrape the nail thin on the top and
insert a pledget of cotton under the
edge
For corns use properly fitted shoes
Remove cOrnS or callOuses only when
they are a source Of pain and irrita-
ton
Have at least two pairs of well fitted
shoes for constant use and smooth
stockings as free from holes and darn
ings as possible.
After long walk wash the feet, dust
with foot powder and put on clean
stockings and shoes, but do not soak
the feet in cold water
Foot powder shaken into the socks or
busted over the feet will help prevent
blisters
Wooden stockings will absorb perspi-
ration. Those who are on their feet
very much should harden them by ap-
plying foor powder and bathing the
feet frequently IN cold water.
The correction of fiat foot may re-
quire long period and can be aided
by furnishing broad and well shaped
shoe. taking care that the foot IS
strengthened by proper exercises and
not overlos ded.
Do not toe out" but walk with the
inner margins of the feet parallel so
that the weight of the body will be
thrown on the outer or stronger part Of
the foot Kathleen Hills III Leslies.

Satisfied With Your Job?
In the American Magazine a writer

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
Running over the lives of the men

this curious fact: Around thirty or
thirty-fve their careers began I'M
mistakably to divide into two classes
Most OF them had given promise of
success. They had moved along about

income of $4,000 or $1,000 There half
Of them had stopped; the other half
seemed TO take a fresh grip on them
selves and forge ahead even more rap
idly. Why had the first group stopped?
ut wasn't lack of ability So far as
l could see, the men in the two groups
didn't differ greatly in talents, nor was
it lack of opportunity. 1t was nothing
more nor less than this-the first group
had become satisfied; familiarity with
their jobs had bred contentment and
contempt. They had settled down in
suburbs just as l had; they were happy
with their children; their jobs were
easy for them; they were at peace with
the world; they had ceased TO strug-
gle, which means that they had ceased
to grow
