and the woods are the winter home ot

study being enlivened by lectures by
the following speakers of national re

How to Make the Feet Look Small.
New York Evening Sun.
“If my feet were only slender and
patrician like yours!”
“My feet patriciau ? Not a bit of it;
they are as short and dumpy as any
one’s could be. The trick is iu know
ing how to dress them. See uow my
foot itself is exactly as long as a No. 3
shoe and a C w idth. Do I therefore
wear a No. 3 C, as most women would ?
Not a bit of it. I wear a 4}% double
A. The longer a shoe is the narrower
it always look-, of course, so that’s
the iiret gain ; and in the second place
l can wear a shoe that h narrower
than my foot really is, wirh perfect
Comfort, because there is so much room
in the length ot the shoe. It just
transtorms the undesired width into
the desired length, you see. Most
women have an idea that a short foot
is pretty, no matter how wide and
shapeless it may be, and only a few of
fhose who really see the beauty of the
lou?, slender foot know how to secure
it for themselves. An old French
bootmaker taught me the trick vears
ago, and my feet have been an inex
pressible comfort to me ever since.”

Project for Connecting
and Denmark.
From ihe Youth’s Coropanior-.
While the French and English are
discussing the construction of a tunnel
beneath, or abridge across, the En
glish channel, and Americans and
Rmsians are canvassing the possibil
ity of bridging Behring straits a Swed
ish engineer. Mr. Rudolph Eiiljequist,
broaches a project for crossing the
Ore-sund, a sound between Denmark
ami Sweden, with neiih. r a tunnel
nor exactly a bridge, but with a com
bination of the two—a bridge under
water. The distance across this sound,
between Elsinore, on the Danish is
land of Sealand, ami Ilelsingboig, on
the Swedi.-h coast, is on coast, is onij
about three miles.
'l lie sound is now crossed by a ferry,
but the delays caused by tlie incessant
passing ol ves.-els, as well as by fre
quent stress of weather, are often bur
densome to passengers, and seme more
expeditious means of transit has long
been demanded.
A bridge is out of the question, not
onl}' on account of the distance, but on
account of the great quantity of traffic
through the sound; aud against a tun
nel objections have been made w hich
seem to be insuperable. So it has oc
curred to this Swedish engineer to re
sort to a construction which is neither
the one thing nor the other.
His proportion i* to erect a viaduct
under water, upon piles, at a depth
sufficient to leave ample room tor
steamers of the deepest draught to pass
about it. The viaduct will consist of
two tubes, one within the other, the
outer tube being of iron and the inner
of steel, and the space between them
will be filled with concrete. Within
ihe inner tube the railway tracks will
be carried.
The “piles” upon which the whole
will be supported are not to be ordi
nary wooden piles, cut caissons, or
rneta, cylinders, also filled with con
crete. They will be placed about 100
leet apart. r
Tf-e supports will give the structure
the character of a bridge, while to tlie
passenger in a train the impression will
be precisely the same as if he were
passing through a tunnel.
The joints of the sections of the
great tube will rest squarely upon the
piles, or abutments, and each point
will be enveloped in a coating of as
phalt, which, besides rendering the
tube water-tight, will join it to its sup
ports, and render the whole structure
firm and solid.
Itis maintained that this submarine
bridge will be much less expensive
than either a tunnel or a bridge above
water. A tunnel involves vast ex
penditure, and the immense and solid
abutments which would be required
in the case of a bridge above the water
will be reudered unnecessary by this
method of construction.
The supports will be subjected to
but a tithe of the weight which an or
dinary bridge must bear, and further
more, will not need to be so construct
ed as to resist the pressure of winds
and ice.

was swimming in Lake Fontchartrain
with a few of my companions, when I
suddenly lost control of myself and

friends could render me relief. My
body was recovered, however, and re
moved to my home. How long I was
unconscious I cannot say; but out of
the dumb, blind, insenate darkness I
suddenly awakened to the knowledge
that I was looking down upon my
dead self in Its coffin. The windows

“1 saw my mother come in and

hands in her own and pressing them
wildly to her breast, her lips, her
brow.
Then, my other self—the self that

Are Kun a* Hr vale .speculation*
—Decision by the Supreme Cou r|.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 4—Judge
R. H. Field, of the circuit court, tc-
uay declared in a decision that a col
ored man could be refused admittance
not only to a theater, but to hotels,
public halls, etc. The suit was that of
Simpson W. Younger against the
Ninth Street theater, and wa3 a test
case.
THE CASE AT ISSUE.
Younger, who is a graduate of Ober-
lin university, and popular with the
colored population, appeared at the
theater November 27, 18S8, with a col
ored female, and bought two orchestra
seats. A new man was in the box
office, aud by mistake the tickets were
3oId to him. The ushers refused to
give him seats, aud he demanded them,
and was ejected immediately.
THE SUIT BROUGHT.
He brought suit for $50,000damages,
in wnich he was supported by nearly
50,000 colored people in Eastern Kan
sas and Missouri. The suit lias been
in the courts over a year. The colored
people are incensed with the court,
and much excitement prevailed.
Judge Field held that, as the civil
rights had been declared unconstitu
tional by the supreme court of the
United States, the rights of colored
people, as well as others in this behalf,
were to be determined by the common
laws that theaters and racecouises
were private property, which the pro
prietors could run to suit themselves,
and that a ticket thereto was a license
revokable at any time, upon return or
tender of tbe costs ot the ticket.
THE CONTENTION DENIED.
The plaintiff contended that because
that the owners of the railroads were
bound to receive as passengers any per
son, that the same rule would apply to
theaters, but Judge Field held that
railroads were necessities of life, while
thesters, like race courses, were luxu
ries and amusements. In other words,
the rights of the public against rail
road companies were a necessity,
whereas the privilege of going to a
theater or a horse race was an amuse
ment ami pastime and the damage re
sulting from a failure to enjoy which
would be merely speculative and sen
timental. Therefore theaters who re
ceive no concessions from the public,
could make any rule or regulation fore
going and forbidding any class ol pat
rons which the proprietors deem
prejudicial to the business or against
their wish, though they should act ca
priciously in so doing.
ANOTHER INTIMATION.
Judge Field, while delivering his
opinion said that lie believed that even
if a person be retu«ed admittance to a
hotel, his datnagi s would be merely
nominal, that is, not more than one
cent or one dollar, unless tint wa- the
only hotel iu the place, or the person
was denied entrance at all the hotels in
the place.

San Francisco, Feb. 1.—A strange
case of disappearance has come to ligl t
in Pomona Valley, this State. Fir
several mouths Charles Goodwin,
about twenty years old, has been
hostler and general utility man on a
ranch near Azusa, in this locality. It
now turns out that he is Henry Davis
Walker, son of a retired and wealthy
pork packer of Columbus, Ohio, aud
re-i luary legatee to the amount ol
$00,000 from his deceased uncle’-
estate.
Young Walker was in a boarding
school near Buffalo, two years ago last
September, when heard of his lather's
second marriage. lie wrote his father
a pert communication, ami the result
was that the lad was .summoned home.
Instead of this, however, he ran away
from the school, and until last week
nothing hasevet been heard of him by
his family or friends.
His fattier spent thousands of dollars
for detectives,advertising and traveling
every where in the po.-sible hope of find- t,ie Republican
ing his missing sun. The bay’s broth- a £°* wel>t ® n a
ersuven went to England on a report
that Henry was iu Loudon.
Recently a gentleman from Colum
bus, who is spending the winter here,
was out driving and met Henry. He
recognized the lad at once, but was not
himsei! recognized. He informed tlie
boy’s employer as to the identity ot
the lad. and together they ascertained
that it was really Henry Walker. Hi-
family ii. Columbus was telegraphed
to, and a few days ago an elder brother
af the long-lost boy arrived in Po
mona.
Henry wa* told of the lortune that
awaited him and of the welcome he
would have at home, and he quickly
decided to return to Columbus. He
was fitted out with the best c’othing
and jewelry to be had, and started for
home in a Pullman car.
To a reporter voung Walker told the
story of his wandering*. He went to
New York by stealing rides on the
cars. There he shipped as a sailor for
Costa Rica, where he worked on a
coffee plantation until attacked by
fever, when he shipped for Chile, and
there secured a clerkship in the office
of the United States Consul at San
tiago. Next he shipped for Honolulu,
and then went to Yokoma. where an
Englishman gave him $100 to go ro
San Francisco. He walked to Los
Angeles, and was a hostler in a stable
there for six weeks, when he went to
Azusa.
A New Use for Old Coots.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Courier writing of his experience at
Saratoga last season, tells the follow

^ At the greit ball of the season at the
United States Hotel, a millionaire
widow of Boston, with Southern blood
in her veins and with several respon
sibilities at home, figured with, some
s.iy $50,000 and others $75,000 worth
of jewelry on her richly attired per
son. Free and easy in her manners
and accustomed to accost any gentle
man she pleases, whether introduced
or not, and seeing one of the mascu
line gender of very elegant presence
near her, with looks expressive of ad
miration of either herselt or her costly
apparel, she said to him :
“I am told you admire this brooch ?’’
pointing to the rich jewel which
j adorned the bust.
! “Yes,” he replied, “I admire ii
much and still more the tvearer.”
“Don’t you think,” said she, “that
I am an adventurous person to travel,
unattended as I am. w ith so much jew
elry about my person?”
The gentleman assented and she
added:

A THEORY OF EYOLUTION.
How Order Came from Choas and
.vinii from a High-Claai Ittaukey.
The Chinese theory of evolution is
set forth in the Popular Science Month
ly, as follows: In it dwelt the dual
powers, but subtle etherial and eter
nal; but the one was virile, warm, ra
diant and active; the other feminine,
cold, sombre and quiescent. These
dual powers are symbolized by two
similar, conjoined figures, whose out
lines may be made by drawing upon
the diameter of a circle two oppositely
directed semicircles, whose centres are
those of the two radii. The reciprocal
action of the dual powers, continuing
through ages, produced all that is.
Puan Ko, sometimes represented as a
giant holding up the sun und moon
and shaping the mountains, is only the
personification of the forces that
wrought in chaos.
A zenith, a nadir, and all the points
of the compass were gradually evolved.
There came to be a distinction between
the bright heavens, with the seven
moving luminaries, aud the dark
earth, with its seas. The male princi
ple predominated above, the female
principle pridominated below, as
Father Heaven and Mother Earth,
each having an all-pervading spirit,
but with unlike influence. The body
conies from and depends upon the
earth; the soul conies from and re
turns to the heavens.
The rocks are the bones of the divine
body, the soil is the flesh, the metals
are the nerves and veins; the tide,
wind rain, clouds, frost, aud dew are
all caused by its respirations, pulsa
tions, and exhalations. Original
ly the mountains rose to the firm
ament, and the sea covered the moun
tains to their top3. At that time there
was iu the divine body, no life besides
the divine life. Then the waters sub
sided ; small herbs grew, and in the
lapse of cycles developed into shrubs
ami trees. As the body of man, un
washed for years, breeds vermin, so
the mountains unlaved by the seas,
bred worms and insects, greater crea
tures* develoving out oi leaser. Beetles
in D»e course < f sigeg became tortoises,

llying insects became birds, some of
tbe lurtle-dov'S became pheasants,

reporter of Time:
“O-o-o-o-h, the dear, sweet little
darling!”
‘ ‘ W h a t—a—perfect—1 it tie—beauty!”
“Bless his dear little heart!”
“Do let me take him?”
“No, let me!”
“No, me.”
“Isn’t he sweet?”
“He’s just as cunning as ever he
can be!”
“Isn’t he, though?”
“He looks ever so much like you,
Minnie.”
“Think so?”
“He’s the living image of you !”
“His nose is a good deal like his
papa’s.”
“What does papa think of him?”
“I should think you’d be awfully
proud of him.”
“I am!”
“Here, here, little manny, look at
auntie!”
“B’ss his own itty s’eet baby ge’f. Is
he auntie’s—”
“Now, do let me take him.”
“No, it’s my turn.”
“Oh, I want him !”
“I do think he’s the sweetest baby I
ever saw.”
“Oh, I could just eat him up alive.”
“See that dear, cunning little dim
ple !”
“Oh, must he go upstairs again? I
must kiss him first.”
“So must I.”
“And I.”
“Me too.”
“Now it’s my turn. By-by, sweety!”

Eat uz the Find Oy-ter.
I ii. & bresi said that lie must have
i*eeii a bul l man who first ate an
oyster. This is said in ignorance of
the legend, which assigns tlie first act
of oyster eating to a very natural
cause.
It is related that a man, walking one
day picked up one of these savory
bivales, just as it was in act of gaping.
Observing the extreme smoothness of
the interior of the shells, lie inserted
his finger between them that he might
feel their shining surface, when sud
denly they closed upon the exploring
digit with a sensation less pleasurable
than he anticipated.
T le prompt withdrawal of his finger
was scarcely a more natural movement
than its transfer to his mouth. It is
not very clear why people when they
hurt their fingers put them into their
mouths; but it is very certain that
they do; and in this case the result
was most fortunate.
The owner of the finger tasted oyster
juice for the first time, as the .China
man in Elia’s essay having burnt his
finger first tasted* crackling. The
savor was delicious; he had made a
great discovery; so he picked up the
oysters, forced open the shells, ban
queted upon their contents, and soon
brought oyster eating into fashion.
And, unlike most fashions, it has
never gone, and is never likely to
go out.

A Florida steamer got into a dense
fog while on her way down the river.
A tourist, anxious to go ahead, went
up to the captain, who was at the I
wheel, and asked why they had stop- I
ped.
“Too much fog; can’t see tbe
river,” replied the cautious Captain.
“But,” said the tourist, “you can see
the stars overhead.”
“Yes,” said the captain, “but anti!
the boilers burst, we are not going
that way.”

IIIS
Overreached Himself.
English railways have the very sen
sible rule that passengers are not al
lowed to stand in the cars, if any one
objects thereto. The following inci
dent of recent occurrence shows that
it does not always pay to insist too
strongly on one’s own rights:
“Will you kindly allow me to
stand?” asked a gentleman as he got
into a railway carriage, which carriage
already contained the specified num
ber.
“Certainly not, 3ir!” exclaimed a
passenger occupying a corner seat near
the door. “The way these trains are
overcrowded is shameful!’
“As you appear to be the only per
son who objects to my presence,” re
plied the gentleman, “I shall remain
where I am.”
“Then I shall call the guard, and
have you removed, sir.”
Suiting the action in tlie word, the
aggrieved passenger rone, and, pin (ing
his head out of the window, vocif* i-
ously demanded tlie guard. The new
comer saw his opportunity, and quietly
slipped into the corner sear.
“Oue over the number,” said the
new-comer to the guard, coolly.
“You must come out. sir! The
train’s going on.” And, without
wasting for turtlier explanation, the
guard pulled out the aggrieved passen
ger, who was left wildly gesticulating
on the platform.
The story shows that rudeness be
gets rudeness, and that justice when it
technically gets hold of the wrong man
sometimes g<*ts the man who most de
serves punishment.
Bat Off He Went.
Detroit Free Press.
•On a Michigan Central train going
west, the other day, the conductor
came to a passenger who had no ticket,
and who owned to also being dead
broke.
“How did you pass the gates at De
troit?” was asked.
“Bought a ticket to the last station
back here.”
“Well, you’ll have to get off.”
“Before you make up your mind let
me show yon some figures. Here they
are: This train is nosr on time. You
must stop dead still to put me off. To
stop, start and get under the same
headway will consume four minutes. |
See ? It is all figured out here by a
statistician.”
“Ticket or money!” .
“The extra fuel consumed is placed
at 04 cents, and you must report to the
train dispatcher at a cost of J5 cents. ^
The delay to seventy-five passengers is
put at $25. The stopping and starting
and extra strain to make op four min
utes damage the train $2.10 worth.
Now then I only want to go thirty
miles farther.” , ,
“Can’t do it, sir,” replied the con-j
duetor; and he pulled the bell-rope,;
halted the train »nd escorted the iui-
