Dexpife tin! fact that tin beauty of * ! well arched foot ix much appreciated by jxoplc iif an urtixfio turn of mind, lint: been Ming frequently by poetx and vnrxc maker*. t!i ijcrully rexulting from the bn ..king down of the arch—that lx, flu, i ti tei nt / if u/.r,.< . t .¥ tlm manti ! little bourn of tho foot either from overstrain or some disease of tho musru ' Jar structure. As tho weight of the body | constantly rests upon tho foot, there it no op; < rt unity for tho bones to get hack j to their prop< r plan *, The r -alt is that these little bonet lcn p rubbing against each other, and the pa; i gcis wore and morn severe, Commonly the person afflicted in thin way thinks that ho or she has rheuma tism and lets it go at that. Until re cently the only remedy was a steel soled j shoe that was clumsy and heavy. The n< w device is interesting. It is an “in sole,” curved to lit the foot, made of a bent strip of steel and acting as a spring. It is covered either with leather or with vulcanized robber to prevent rusting, and, needing no fastening, but simply to bo placed in position, it can bo changed from one shoe to another at will. In position it acts Bimply as a sup port, literally holding up the bones and giving them an opportunity to slip back into their proper places. While any “in sole” of the approximate shape will give relief, the best results are reached only when one is especially made from a cast or impression of the foot. A greal proportion of the people troubled with flat feet come from the north of Europe, many of them from the lowlands of tier many. The inhabitants of the south 01 Europe, strangely enough, are seldom troubled with anything of tho sort. Their insteps, especially in the ease ol women, are nearly always highly arched and finely formed.—New York Tribune. “Ilorncs With Wheels." “It was in the early days of railroad ing in tho south,” remarked the gentle man with the stock of reminiscences the other day. “I was located in Florid* about tho lime when the governmenl had made vassals of the Bcmiuolo Indi ans of that state, and in order to imprest the redoubtable Billy Bowlegs, the Te curnseh of the Seminoles, it had invited that ‘heap big chieftain’ to make a trip to tho scat of the national government.
