Ancient NaviQators.

The origin of the art of navigation
is lost in antiquity, but it is known
that 1t was practiced with consider
able skill by the ancient Egyptians
ana the Phoenicians From the be-
ginning of the historic period Tyre
was the chief city of the Phoenicians,
and the enterprise of that people was,
from their situation. specially direct
ed TO the sea, and they pushed their
commerce on it with spirit and dar-
ing which. considering their opportu-
mites. has never been surpassed.
They are the first who are known to
have steered by the observation of the
stars. and who could thus venture out
TO sea. They ultimately adopted two
distinct kinds of vessels. the gauios
or merchant vessel. with n deep hold
adapted for storage. and the trireme
or ship of war.

FEET MOST ABUSED MEMBERS
According TO English Writer, Only
About One Third Of Humanity
Walk in Natural Manner.

The human foot is one Of the most
beautiful and useful instruments ever
conceived, but. unfortunately. il is not
what a motorlst calls ''foolproof."
There is a great deal of misunder-
standing about our feet. We treat them
outrageously, as either custom or fash
ion may dictate. As result, about
one-third of the population is spiay-
footed, another third walks like hen
on hot cinders, and the remaining
third may be said TO walk fairly nat
ural.
The foot has a graceful arch run
ming fore and aft. We take this iongf-
tudinal arch, turn the toes outward
so that the heels meet at an angle OF
As degrees. and then put all our pres
sure in a skew direction across the
arch. No railway engineer would
dream of building straight arch
bridge TO carry loads neither across
nor along the arch, but irregularly
askew over IL.
We ought 10 walk with our great
toe pointed straight in the direction
of progress, as Indian runners 90, anu
"spring from the great toe" Instead.
most of us stake off, in numbering
sort of way from the ball Of the great
toe.
The arch Of the foot is supported
largely by the tendon which runs I'M
der the foot to the great toe itself, and
this neglect of use renders this ten
don weak and lax, and causes depres-
sion Of the arch. The best care for
weak arch is the practice of raising
ones self upon the great toe. that Is,
doing as a penalty exercise what you
should have done all along naturally.
IL you will try when walking to. keep
the feet straight, and TO end each
stride with little 'spring" off each
big toe alternately. you will be re-
warded by finding that progress seems
easier. quicker and more buoyant.-

namely. the plank for increased
representation for Baltimore
City. As the Republican plat
form will undoubtedly contain
a like provision. this will not be
an issue between the parties, and
consequently will not justify non
support of the Democratic plat
form on this account.
1t is easy to recall the vehement
protests on the part OF Baltimore
City's delegation four years ago.
when annexation was being advo-
Gated. that the City would not
use annexation as an excuse Tor
seeking increased representation.
1t was pointed out by the spokes-
men for Baltimore county and
Anne Arundel county that, after
appropriating about tw ent y
square miles OF territory and TAX
ing about $50. 100000 away from
the taxable basis OF these two
counties, it would not be long
before TINS cry of increased rep
resentation would be raised. At
the meetings held in the State
House at that time, several lead
ing representatives of the City
were heard to deny this state
ment, and declare that the consti-
tuition limited the City in this
matter, and that the counties need
have no fear concerning IT. That
was four years ago, but the pre-
diction OF the county men has
come true. and despite the earnest
protests of many of them, both
political parties are now pledged
to this movement.
1t is most gratifying to note
that the trainers OF the platform
had the foresight and determine
ton to stand by the spirit OF the
primary election law, while al
the same time holding the part,
ready to adopt such amendments
as shall be consistent with it.
