BEAUTY IN THE FOOT.
Not ail Unimportant Matter In the Make
up of a Perfect Woman.
“Th-a girl of the iieriod," generously
sayii a prominent chiropodist, “is devot
ing herself more and more to the study
of lier foot. She lias found out that this
instrument is capable of almost as much
development for strength and beauty
■(really synonymous terms) as her hand.
She knows that the splendid exercise of
piano playing, in which each finger and
every muscle of the hand, wrist and arm
is developed to the greatest state of elas
ticity and to beauty’s own moldings, con
tains the very hint she wants totfollow
in the development of the foot. No, she
is not going to play the piano with her
feet* but she is going through a lot of
gymnastic exercises with them. She sits
on the bed every morning working her
toes, then she walks around tho room on
her bare toes, and straightening out her
ankle, like a ballet girl, with every step.
She finds at first that she can hardly raise
herself on the balls of her feet and walk
on them. tV. .
“Presently that becomes easy. In a
week or so the exercise will accomplish
that much. Then she grows able to lift
herself off even tho balls of her feet on to
the very toes alone for moments at a
time. Then she sits down on the bed
and gives them lighter exercises, just by
working them until they will move in
dependently of each other. At first she
has to pull them with her hands as far
as possible in all different directions, just
like the pianist practices his liands on the
teclinicen. They are very awkward at
firSt, just as the fingers would have been
if not practised, and, indeed, as many
people's fingers' are. She is rib longer a
victim to the foolish prejudice against
spreading her foot out on the floor. She
is no longer a victim of the illusion to
the eye, ignorant of art, that littleness is
beauty. She no longer desires a set of
cramped toes, but spreads them out on
the floor and tries to make them assume
the square, beautiful proportions of the

north. From almost any of the moun
tain peaks the president can look into
four states.
Tho complexion of the country at Deer
.Parkis peculiar. There is a wide range
of land along the top of the Allegheny
mountains that is very fertile. Wheat,
rye, corn, oats and potatoes grow at an
altitude of more than 2,000 feet above
the level of the sea. Tho name given to
this broad strip of land along the crest of
the mountains is “The Glades.”
Many years ago this beautiful region
was filled with herds of buck and doe.
From this Deer Park took its name.
Through the town runs the old road over
which George Washington led a part of
Braddock’s army. Tho?land comprising
the village briginally belonged to an ec
centric Englishman named Wells. He
lived in * hut on the mountain side and
had few companions except Indians. In

nobody could fancy. She was constant
to old friends, was always recruiting new
ones, and was hospitable to all. Old
Dumas used to copy manuscripts and
. help to ccok her dinners, which were
-served on vermeil plate, with the impe
rial crown and eagle engraved on them.
A few winters ago she entertained four
prime ministers, Baron, von Beust, De
Lcsseps, Castclar, and bards from all
parts, at a joyous dinner at Trouville.
t The most roseate phase of her life was
at the Hotel d'Aquila, which she after
ward sold to Mrs. Mackay’s sister. She
was then for three or four years the
widow of Sig. Ruttazzi, and then the
bride of a quite young Spanish deputy,
Don Luis de Bute. The Hotel d’Aquila
was a “folly" of the uncle of the ox-king
of Naples, who ruined himself in build
ing it, and was fitted up by Mme. Rat-
tazzi according to her Clcopatran taste
for elegant magnificence. The hall was
surrounded by tnarblo busts and statues
fit the Bonaparte family, and facing the
•emperor was one of herself lotting fall
an armful of roses,
i THE SORROW THAT CAME.
Don Luis de Bute was a nephew of
Rosas, the Spanish liberal, a man of
many accomplishments, and the unde
niable countryman of Don Quixote. If
•ever a man was held in willing bondage
a woman, he was by his wife, of
whom he was the devoted, huihble ser
vant, never seeking to curtail; her liberty
or objecting to any of her friends; The
glamour she cast upon him when he first
saw her as a muse at Madrid, surround
ed by a court of bards and statesmen,
never faded from his eyes. She valued
his devotion to her and to a beautiful
daughter whom she had had by Rattazzi,
and became deeply in love with him.
Mme. de Rute presented her husbdnd
with twins, one of whom died at its
birth. The surviving one was called
Dolores or “Lola." It seemed a ridicu
lous misnomer. All that was joyous
and rosy in the mother’s life appeared
to be incarnate in tho child, which was
a paragon of infantile beauty and pre
cocious wit and intellect. Dolores be
came the idol of the household, and was
ns sunshine wherever 6he went. People
used to say what luck her mother had
-to be so blessed in ber maternity. But
wait a bit. The luck was to bring forth
ait eternal blight and sorrow upon sor
row.
Lola was playing in her mother’s
grounds at Aix. A horse near which she
ran lashed out and kicked her on the
forehead. The child was taken in dead
to father and mother, with her brains
oozing out through a gash. I could not
have conceived tlie latter broken hearted
And utterly crushed had I not seen her.
•Since this calamity she took no interest
in anything but portraits and busts of
Lola, which she tried to paint and model
from memory. The unfortunate De
Rute said to me: “The least thing would
now kill me. Since Dolores was taken
from me I feel an old man, though not
yet forty-five. The gashed forehead o p
the little beauty is always present in my
mind. It's a misfortune to have a ten
der heart, because heart sufferings are
so excruciating.” I see in the'papers
that a small thing did cany off this dis-
^iguished and amiable Spaniard. He
ught a cold at Granada, which devel
i into inhumation of the lungs and
craze. These exercises of tlio foot; and
toes make them ahle. to spring twice as
far off their feet. She is constantly seek
ing better shoes. She/ is doing just the
Inverse of what she used to do .when she
fought with her shoemaker because the
shoe was not tight enough. She is now
constantly fighting with liim to get them
broader at the toes, and many a girl who
is proud of her new sensible, progressive
idea will hold the too of a broad shoe in
view for you in the street cars, at homo
and elsewhere.
“Many jokes are cracked on the corn
doctors in the papers, but we always ad
vise people to wear anything but pointed
shoes. The foot and toes should have
all the freedom of the hand and fingers.
A great many girls also ask us for advice
about curing pigeon toe. It is a curious
thing that many girls live all their lives
and are jaughed at by the hoys foryvalk-
ing pigeon toed, when tliey never notice
that they walk differently from other
people. But those who have it can cor
rect it to a great extent by practice. I
adyised several young ladies in a practice
which they say lias greatly improved
them. That is to get before a mirror in
their dressing rooms and walk toward
it, stepping high and extending; the leg
straight out toward the glass at every
step. They thus find when the foot lights
how it crosses in upon the vertical plane
which the'other foot must reverse for its
movements. They thus see how the legs
are not hinged quite properly, and learn
to move them in parallel planes. Step
ping forward and backward toward the
mirror will frequently correct pigeon
toed walking.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Artillery iti the Future.
As the range of guns in the field is
augmented battles will more than ever
be prepared by cannon, batteries will,
open fire at distances of miles, and the"
adversary’s batteries must, at least, be
weakened before, infantry can venture
to advance, except under very peculiar
circumstances. Hie power of modern
cannon is so tremendous that, when hos
tile batteries come into conflict at any
thing like reasonably near distances, viz.,
from 1,500. to 2,500 yards, the duel can
scarcely last long. We shall see no can
nonades like that directed against La
Haye Sainte, which lasted for hours, and
the victory wifi belong tothe artillery
chiefs who, witl^anything like aneqfxqj
ity of force, lay their guns best, take
most accurate aim, avoid salvos and
wild discharges, take care that their men
are not hurried, and, above all, can en
filade their enemy—a process now more
than ever destructive.
For the reasons to which we have re
ferred before the system of artillery re
serves should be given up as completely
obsolete; no efforts should be spared to
bring forward every available gun as
quickly as possible, and the organization
of the three arms should be so arranged
as to secure this object, the pieces and
their trains being -always kept in close
contact with the rest of .the army and
capable of rapid moment to the front.
For the rest artillery should be"a^ways
ready and equal to contend in the field
with infantry; it should consider itself a
more powerful arm in anything like an
equal struggle, aqd once it has been
placed in its true position it should, if
possible, never fall back. At the same
time, in our judgment at least, artillery,
owing to the vast spaces of battlefields in
modern war, may on many occasions be
greatly imperiled.—The Academy.

was only one way for the American

by doing superior work. The Americans
realized this, and rose to the occasion.
Every device for improving their’ mode
