FACTS ABOUT FEET. bow They Vary In Sire Among Different People and Race*. The ideal foot of modern ladies it about a No. 3. We hear but little about the shining goal toward which the masculine foot is directed. The length of the average foot is a difficult matter to deeide. Perhaps there was a time when its status was more relia bly fixed than at present For in stance, the common unit for lineal measure, a foot, was derived from the length of the human foot. Human feet differ in length all over the world; so does the standard of lineal measure ment. There was a time when not only each oountry, but each town, had a foot measure of its own, indicating dif ferent averages of the different feet in various localities. Taking the En glish foot (twelve inches) as a stand ard, we find the French foot to bo 12.78, the Rhenish foot 12.3d. As these comparative lengths were derived from the average human foot of these nationalities, we may take comfort in the fact that we are in the happy minority of inches at the base. The Russian foot of measure equals the English, and the German or Rhen ish foot varies in the different states. The longest foot of measure is that of old Turin, which is equal to twenty inches of English measure. The lat ter, founded upon the length of the Turin pedal, might, in the persiflage of our time, be said to have descended by heredity to a certain section of our great country, famous, in fable at least, for its breadth and length of un derstanding. In order to got an idea of the length of shoe sizes in inches, it may be stated that a foot measuring ten inches, with the weight of the body resting upon it, may wear comfortably a No. 6 shoe. The reader can figure from this up to the Turin foot of twenty inches by allowing three full sizes to the inch. Following are some measurements from life that show the comparative length of the human foot in different people. These measurements are well proportioned to the height of the per sons: In a man five feet eleven inches tall the foot measured ten and one-half inches. In Chinese subjects, the or dinary height being five feet, the length of foot was nine inches and five lines. Among a tribe of low-stature Indians, whose height varied from five feet one inch to five feet three inches, the length of the feet was found to be from nine inches four lines to nine inches six lines. A youth in the South Sea islands, six feet seven inches in height, had a foot twelve and one-half inches long; his lower extremeties measured thirty-eight inches in length, circumference of calf of leg seventeen and one-half inches and his ankle ten inches.—Shoe and Leather Reporter. THE YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER. A Libel Circulated by a Heartless and Rude Newspaper Man. But still the young housewife goes to market just the same and asks for things that do not exist and shows a lamentable ignorance of the anatomy of animals and the inside of a cookery book. I never ate any thing cooked out of a cookery book that was not bad. I think those cookery concoctors make up recipes as musicians write music. They Bit down and think of all the things that can be used as condi ments and bases of dishes, and they just make the whole business up, and never try them even on a dog. Take a pound of flour, and a bucket of wa ter, and a cupful of yeast, and a half pound of sugar, and a little lemon, and a tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, and stir for fifteen minutes. Add a glass of porter and a teaspoonful of ice cream; heat over a slow fire; and you will have some thing, Heaven only knows what. The chances are it will be just as good as lots of things you find analyzed in a cookery book. But then I suppose you may have some vague idea about the succulent parts of animals when you go to buy meat, and the young housewife had very vague ideas indeed. She argued that a butcher should be able to give all the necessary information, not only as to the meat, but what to do with it, if he wanted people’s custom. She did not propose to tax him too far. She knew what she wanted, but she did not know how to cook it. She went into tho butcher’s place. “What can I do for you to-day, Mrs. -?” said the polite butcher, smiling as he chopped a lot of ribs of some de funct animal which may, Heaven knows, have had aspirations and ambi tions, hopes and fears and all sorts of things in its days of life. “I want you to send me a nice shin of beef.” “I didn’t hear what you said. ” “A nice shin of beef.” It was a delicate situation. If he asked her again she would get offend ed and he would lose a customer. He chopped another few ribs up and said: “Certainly.” “And I wish you’d tell me how to cook it.” Even for that the butcher was equal to the occasion. He sent her a nice roast of beef with instructions, and she came in next day and told him that she ha$L-. never seen or eaten such a loveljjpfcin of beef in her life. Some day she will find out her terrible mis take, but I dare say she won’t mind.— San Francisco Chronicle. —Every day that the sun rises upon the American people, it sees an addi tion of $2,500,000 to the accumulation of wealth in the United States, which is equal to one-third of the daily accu mulation of all mankind outside the United States. COREAN COSTUMES. What an American Traveler Saw in tli* City of Seoul. Corea has a population of fifteen million people; and tho city of Seoul, though not the largest in the kingdom, has been tho capital since the present dynasty came into power, nearly five hundred years ago. It was selected for its location, affording as it does a well-drained basin of granite sand, surrounded by hills and mountains, so joined by tho several ridges as to form almost a complete amphitheater, ten miles in circumference. These adjoin- j ing mountains afford numerous strong natural fastnesses, which are provided with artificial fortifications where nec essary, and are kept constantly gar risoned and provisioned as places of , retreat for the royal family in times of ; danger. The main thoroughfares of the city of Seoul are some two hundred feet broad, and are usually clean though crowded, but the more distinctively residence streets are not over twenty feet wide as a rule. As they are crowd ed with travel and lined with the houses of the poor, they are apt to be untidy and not very attractive. On these streets, aside from the occasional large gate leading into a gentleman’s establishment, there is little evidence of respectability to be seen, for even the fronted a gentleman's residence is given up to servants’ quarters, and is allowed to look as shabby as it will, as there is no attempt at street display. “About nine o'clock every evening,” writes an American resident, “the deep, rich tones of a bell are heard throughout the capital; they come from a little pagoda in the center of the city, which holds a large bell some twelve or fifteen feet in height. Formerly, after the ringing of this ‘curfew,’ the men disappeared from tho streets, which \vore then given up to the women, who flit about with their little lanterns from house to house, listening to and re lating the gossip that is as dear to them as to their sisters on the other side of the world. They enjoy their freedom, even if they must be creatures of the night, and a night is never so stormy but a few of these fair ones may be seen by the privileged official, or foreigner, who may chance to be upon the streets. Recently, however, the law' compeling men to leave the streets after the ringing of the bell has been repealed, owing to the fact that so many outrages were committed that it was thought to be a safeguard to allow all men upon the streets, that the honest might bo present to answer cries for help and defend tho women against the unprincipled. After the ringing of this bell the city-gates are closed, amid the weird blasts of native buglars, and a very great quiet then settles over the dark city.”—Leslie s Illustrated Weekly. PERILS OF CIVILIZATION. An Attempt to Show That Kvery Inven tion Has Its Own Disadvantages. The comiorts of civilization are to some degree counterbalanced by its perils. We can travel much further in a day than we formerly could; but the train on which we travel may collide with another train; and the steam-boat may blow up. We have better light and heat than our fathers; but they stood in no peril of bursting pipes and e.'s ploding gasometers. Our fathers were content with a tallow candle, but were never afraid of receiving a stroke of lightning from a concealed electric wire. They burned maple logs, cat from the forests with their own hands; but stood in no peril of being stifled with coal gas, or blown up by a gas well explosion. Perhaps it is not too tmich to say that every new invention brings its own danger. When anaesthetics were first discovered, the discovei-y was hailed as an unmixed blessing. But now men have so fallen into the habit of taking opiates and anodynes, that the alcoholic curse is almost rivaled by the opium, morphine and cocoaine habit. It is said that profanity has largely increased since the invention of the telephone; and, considering the vexations attendant upon the use ol this marvelous instrument, this is a logical conclusion. Every new invention nOw produces !i monopoly. The inventor frequently dies in poverty, and a wealthy syndic ate grows rich through his device by overcharging the public for its uso. Horse railroads in cities are a pub lic necessity; but through their fatal comfort men, and especially women, have largely lost the power of self locomotion. Street cars are, perhaps, largely responsible for the large in crease of dyspeptics. So we might go through the entire catalogue ot inventions. It would bo found that each brings its own disad vantages, and each adds a new peril to civilization. But in all cases the good far outbalances tho evil. — Yatikce Blade. Charitable Criticism. An English organ-builder was one day asked what was thought of Mr. Blank as aa organist. “Sir,” he said, with mock solemnity, “he is a most respectable man.” “Yes, I have no doubts of that, but ] want to know how he ranks as a per former on the organ.” “Sir, he is a most exemplary man, and one who plays as though he were also a charitable man.” “Now would you mind telling me what you mean by saying he performs like a charitable man?” “Well, if I must be explicit, Mr. Blank plays upon the organ as though he did not let his left {hand know whal his right hand wag doing.”—Youth'* Companion. * -» " - —'■* PASTURING WHEAT. Extracts from a Late Bulletin of tin Kansas Experiment Station. With the object of learning th< effect of moderately grazing wintei wheat, both in fall and spring, a por tion of field No. 3, a fair average oi the entire wheat Held, was selected for the purpose of this experiment Herr a measured acre was partitioned of from the remainder of tho field by £ barbed wire fence, and adjoining it, later on, an exact half-acre, the former .for fall grazing, and the latter for a like use in the spring. For the pur pose of comparison, a quarter acre, uniform in growth and appearance with the pastured portion, was se lected, and of course was not grazed. Of the actual amount of grazing fur nished by these areas I have accurate data regarding only the hall acre used for grazing in the spring. This area furnished the equivalent of 115 hours’ steady grazing for one cow. This “steady grazing,” it should be remembered, stands for much more than ordinary grazing, which includes the time occu pied by the cattle in rest. In grazing the half acre the cattle were held upon the wheat only so long as they fed. As soon as they seemed sated they were driven to the barn. I am confident that this half acre furnished the equiv alent of one-half month’s pasturing. The acre supplied more than twice that given by tho half acre, from onc'tc three cows—I can not speak more ac curately—having been kept upon it during nearly every day in November. In the tabular statement given below the results of this experiment are con cisely stated: ViKt.D mat ACiu:. .'Ime, -'-' U.s. lo i Grain. Sir nr, is/i. oj | bushels. lbs. grain.

They do, however, establish a strong presump tion that such was the case. The fact that, to the eye, the pastured areas, when cut, showed in all respects as strong and vigorous a growth of wheat as that borne by the ungrazed area, strengthens this view. There was only this noticeable difference—and that was slight between the grazed and un grazed areas. The former, particularly that used for fall pasturage, boro a considerably more leafy straw, as indicated in the table, and it seemed a little slower in ripening, although the time of cutting the three areas was the same. It savors somewhat of attempting to “cat one’s cake and have it,” this pasturing of growing wheat without diminishing its yield of grain. However, the practice can only be recommended in the case of wheat that was sown early in the fall, and thus has been enabled to make a luxuriant growth. It is a mat ter of common observation and experi ence that this excess growth is often a cause of disaster to the crop. A fur ther precaution that will occur to most practical men pasturing of the wheat fields ought never to he permitted when the ground is muddy, or even soft from ruins.—Prof. E M. Skelton THE EVENING PRIMROSE. An Explanation of Why the Pre'.ty Flowct Blooms at Sight. Out1 evening primrose does not bloom in the dark bout's far mere sentiment or moonshine, but from a motive which lies much nearer her heart. From the first moment of her wooing welcome she listens for murmuring wings, and awaits th;tt supreme fulfillment antici pated from her infant bud. For it will almost invariably be found that those blossoms which open in the twilight have adapted themselves to the crepuscular moths and othdi' nocturnal insects. This finds a striking illustl'a* tion in the instances of many long tubular-shaped night-blooming flowers, like the honeysuckle and various orchids, whose nectar is beyond the reach of any insect except the night flying hawk-moth. It is true that in other lt-ss deep nocturnal flowers the sweets eouid be reached by butterflies or bees during the day if the blossoms remained open, but the night murmurers receive the first fresh invitation, which, if met, will leave but a wilted, half-hearted blossom to greet the sipper of the sunshine. This beautiful expectancy of the flower determines the limit of its bloom. Thus, in the event, of rain or other causes preventive of insect visits, the evening primrose will remain open for the butterflies during the following day, when otherwise it would have drooped perceptibly, and extended but a listless welcome. I have seen this fact strikingly illustrated in a spray of mountain-laurel, whoso blossoms lingered in expectancy nearly a week in my parlor, when the flowers on the parent shrub in the woods had fallen several days before, their mission hav ing been fulfilled. In the house speci mens the radiating stamens remained in their pockets in the side of the blos som Gup, and seemed to brace the corolla upon its receptacle. These stamens are naturally dependent upon insect agency for their release, and the consequent discharge of pollen, and I i noticed that when this operation was j artifically consummated the flower cup soon dropped off or withered.—W Hamilton Gibson, in Harper's MagazuiQ. How to Jndge Tour Friends. What a man is known to be ought to have more weight than what a man is under stood to say, in any fair estimate of his meaning. In other words, a man’s char acter ought to count for something in the measure of his purpose and intention in all his utterances. You ought not to beliove your own ears against your knowledge of a friend’s true spirit. You ought not to accept as correct the surface meaning of any remark by your pastor, or your next door neighbor, if that meaning is irrecon cilable with his established reputation in the sphere of his comments at that time. Words mean a great deal in the line of a man’s well-known life purpose. They ought to have little value as weighed against his real personal character.—B. 8.
