NOTES AND COMMENTS-

With reference tothe Toronto Globe’s story about a proposal for an Imperial zcllverein, alleged to have teen made by

Mr. Ubamberlain, aod declined by Sir Wiltrid Laurier, the London iimes eayr:

“Ic ia in the highest degree improbable that any such proposal was practically made. Nobody is in a better position than Mr. Chamberlain to know that the pro tectivnist colonies wou!d not for a moment entertain it;and it is one thing to state em phaticwily the «nly grounds upon which a

ropu-+l for any modification of the inci ae of British tax wion might be coasid- ered, and quite another for a busy man to waste time in formulating proposals the rejectiua of wh:ch isa foregoae conclu sion.”

Tuis statement of the case agrees with what Mr. Chamberlain eaid himeelf in addres+ing the corference. It now re- main-, as the Montrea! Gazette pointe out, for the Globe to produce some better authority than its own ipse dixit for the statement which the Times describes as “io the highest degree improbable.”

ONLY TAKE CANADIAN GOLD.

(3t. Catharines Jouroal.)

Juneau, Alarke, is a Yankee town, and the intwbitante wantit to be known as such. Todothisthe citizens have re- fused to accept Canadian money except at a beary discount. Every Canadian news-

sper should publieh this fact and the Benin press also be let into the secret, ard al. ut next spring the citizens of Juneau, the merchants especially, will be extreme y glad to get Canadian coio of any denomination. Many Canadians will go to the Kiondike pext spring, and these men sieould purchase their supplies in Cavada. Not only can they buy things much cheaper at home than they would cost +t Juneau, but ae we have seen, their money would not be worth its face value inthe Alaskan town. Any Canadian Kloudiker who wants to buy eupplies in June» ilat be could bave bought at home or m Victoria, B.C., will make a huge mistake.

SNOW BLINDNESS. The Fearful Suffering It Entalls Somoe- times Leads to Madness.

Government officials who have been in Alaska tell of terrible sufferings from snow blindness. The continued glare of the fields of ice and snow on the naked eye has an almost indescribable effect, say those who have experienced it. The vast expanse of gleaming white, the silence and the awful sense of isolation produce & feel- ing akin to madness.

First the eye becomes pained, waving lines pass up and down and in front of the peballs. Mirages appear to the vision. ‘he eyeballs burn, the mind wanders, the brain seems on fire, and finally blackness setsin. Perfect rest and freedom from

anything which may be calculated to strain

the vision are essential for a cure.

J.T. Dyer spent two years in Alaska and experienced the snow blindness. Speaking of it and the plague of mosqui- toes which infect the northern regions and are perhaps more voracious there than elsewhere, he said:

‘The snow blindness is an awful] thing. I was affected slightly once with it in the left eye. I saw a terrible example of it in a member of our party who was suddenly afflicted with the trouble. He became vio- lently insane from not properly shading his eyes. I never witnessed a more marked ease of mania. We had great trouble in getting the young man back tocamp. He got hold of a hatchet in some manner and came near splitting my head open with it. He had no realization of what he was do- ing. It was some time before he recov- ered from the attack.

‘It is absolutely necessary to protect the eyes in some way. I wore a black slouch hat pulled down over them. In addition we donned goggles manufactured by the Indians, which fulfill the purpose for which they are intended. These are made of bits of wood, oval shaped, like the glasses of spectacles. They have small slits in them, so that one can sce, but the eye is shaded and not affected.’’—5St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

WATER FOR ONE,

Ae Anthority Tells How Much Is Needed by Persons In Various Occupations.

According to Professor Allen, we should drink from one-third to two-fifths as mamy eunces as we weigh pounds. Therefore for a man weighing 168 pounds there would be required 56 to 64 ounces daily, or frorn 1'4 to 4 pints. This is a very indefi- nite answer. The amount of water re- quired depends on the season of the year, the amount of work done and the kind of food eaten. In hot weather we require more than in cold, because of the greater loss through the skin, though this is in part made up by the lesser amount passed away through the kidneys. If a man la- bors very hard, he requires more than if his labor is light. A man working in a foundry, where the temperature is high and the perspiration profuse, not infre- quently drinks three or four gallons daily. If the food is stimulating and salty, more water is required than if it is bland.

Vegetarians and those who use much fruit require less water than those who eat salt fish and pork. and often get along on none except what is in their food. In most cases our instincts tell us how much water to drink far better than any hard or fixed role. For ages they have been acquiring a knowledge of how much to drink and transmitting that knowledge to descend- ants, and if we follow them we shall not go far out of the way.

It is of more use to us to know that pure water is essential and that impure water is one of the most dangerous drinks than to know how much of it is required daily. If one lives in a region where the water is bad, it should be boiled and put away in bottles well corked in an ice chest, and in addition one should eat all the frui¢ one can if fruit agrees. Fruits contain not only pure water, but salts which are need- ed to carry on healthfully the functions of life.—.Journal of Hygiene.

The Private Pig.

The number of pigs kepé by the colliers and artisans of the nerth of England fluc- tuates with the price of coal and yarn. In good times évery collier keeps a live ani- mal of sume sort, and, though dogs, guinca pigs, cage birds and homing pigeons are attractive, his fancy animal is usually a pig. He admires this on Sunday after- noons, and groups of friends go round to smoke their pipes and compare pigs and bet on their ultimate weight. They have private pig shows, with subscription prizes. Each animal is judged in its own sty, and itis interesting to know that tae evely- tion of an almost perfect pig was due to the innate sagacity of the Yorkshire pit hand.

The sties in which these animals live are very reugh affairs, often made of a few boards nailed over railway sleepers, but it is interesting to learn that when the au- thor was acting as a peripatetic judge at the colliers’ show he found young pigs as blooming and healthy as possible, and that, small though the colliers’ back yard is, he always contrives that his pigsty shall be thoroughly ventilated and look toward the south. Architects of costly home farms often house the unhappy pigs under north walls and condemn them to rheu- matism, cold and sunlessness. Yorkshire produces not only the best pork, but has long been famous for the best cured hams in the world.—London Spectator.

Some Queer Texts.

When ladies wore their ‘‘topknots”’ ri- diculously high, it occurred to Rowland Hill to admonish them from the pulpit, and he did it by means of the words, ‘‘Topknot, come down,’’ which he evolved fvom Matthew xxiv, 17, ‘‘Let him which is on the house top not come down,’’ Of course nothing but the exceeding quaint- ness of the preacher could have excused such a liberty with the sense and sound of the sacred text.

It was almost as bad as Swift's uniquely brief discourse on the text, ‘He that hath pity upon the poor lendecth to the Lord.”’ ‘My friends,’’ said the dean, as he closed the book, ‘‘if you approve of the security, down with the dust.’’ As matterof fact, it is usually only the quaint preachers who do venture on such Llibortics~<-Chambers’ Journa!.

DRESSING THE FEET,

VIEWS OF A DOCTOR AND A CHIROP- CDIST ON THE SUBJECT.

The True Ideal of Beauty In the Human Foot—Health and Comfort Sacrificed to Fals~ Ideals—The Shape and Fit of the

Correct Shoe,

‘It is a lamentable fact that the great bulk of the foot covering industry is in the hands of persons utterly ignorant not only of the anatomy of the foot, but absolutely indifferent to it,’’ said a learned doctor to a patient the other day. “The leaders of fashion change the style and shape of the shoe whenever it pleases their fancy, just as if the human foot could be made to con- form to the changing shapes instead of the shapes conforming to the foot

‘*The foot, being one of the most flexible portions of the human body and readily tutored and tortured to take almost any shape, temporarily at least, whatever may be the subsequent anguish, it follows that you obey the behests of fashion unthink- ingly, taking it for granted that a foot is properly and rightly squeezed and crowded so long as the pain and suffering are not instantly made insupportable, and from this practice a false taste is developed and a false and absurd ideal of beauty estab- lished; the natural shape and symmetry and the due proportion of the foot to the body are forgotten; a taste for a certain deformity, an utterly unnatural foot both in shape and size, is acquired, and soon we have become the possessors of misshap- en, hideously deformed feet.

‘‘One of the most surprising things that Du Maurier told about Trilby’s foot was that the great toe was well away from the second toe, and that the latter was the longer of the two. How many of the peo- ple who wear pointed toed shoes can show such a conformation of the foot as that? But people of the present day have lost a liking for the natural shape of the perfect foot. They may profess admiration for the Trilby foot, but in their hearts they really think the shape, at least in a shoe, is ugly and secretly prefer their own de- formed, pointed feet, with the great toe lapped over the small toes and all the lat- ter trained into a pointed bunch.”’

‘But, then, the agony of such > said a chiropodist when consulted. corns to a foot is nv unusual number for me to be called upon to treat. The admir- ers and wearers of razor toed shoes ought to take a glance at the illustrations of the resulting deformities as described by a famous surreon chiropodist. He shows the injuries, diseases and ailments to which the foot is liable. During the 30 or more years that he practiced his profession in this city he had among his patrons and patients some of the most distinguished men and women in the country, and dur- ing that time he treated some of the worst cases of deformity that ever came into the hands of a curgeon.

were not confined’ to the cure of simple corns and bunions. He undertook some of the worst possible cases of distortions and painful ailments of the feet. One of his great and successful operations was the restoration of the foot, deforn.ed by the displacement of the great toe joint. It was long considered ineredible that the natural shape of the foot thus ccformed could be restored, but by the use of band- ages the bunion was reduced, the joint re- placed, and the natural movement of the toes was restored.’’

“It is surprising that the majority of people are willing to sacrifice their health and comfort to a false ideal of beautiful fect,’’ said one shoe merchant. ‘It is even stranger that those who value themselves on what they regard as their beautiful feet do not reflect that this beauty is attained only by the loss of real beauty of face and grace of movement. <A foot crowded into a narrow toed shoe too small for the foot inecans lines between the eyes, crow’s feet, a worried expression of countenance and the gait of an invalid or worse—a cripple. Such people go about tormenting: other people with their plaints of ‘Oh, my feet!’ ’’

It is impossible to restore a patient's feet to their normal condition so long as she wears boots and shoes constructed with no regard whatever to the anatomy and physiology of the human foot—that is, without regard to the natural shape of the foot and the necessity of leaving certain muscles of the foot free to do their natural work in the business of locomotion.

According to one doctor’s views, the cor- rect shoe is the one that fits closely over the instep and heel, supporting the arch of the foot and displaying the beauty of its outline. It should be broad over the toes, providing the necessary room for the mus- cles of the foot to freely perform their work in the act of locomotion. The heel must be low and the shoe of good length. The result is a shoe that is beauitful in the eves of those who understand what the foot should be or what it is by nature. Such a shoe, according to this doctor, is hideous only to those who set up a false ideal of beauty.

Many deformities of the feet disappear entirely without other treatment than that of the proper shoe. The shoe that fits the foot is the cheapest shoe to buy. It wears the longest, because, fitting the foot, it never undergocs that transformation known as “‘losing shape.’’—New York Tribune.

He Reclaimed His Jewels,

One day while Rabbi Meir was away from home teaching at college his two chil- dren were suddenly taken ill and died. When on returning he inquired about them, his wife, Beruria, first gave him an evasive answer, and then, leading the con- versation to another topic, related to him how aman who had left some jewels in her care had come to reclaim them. ‘‘Am I to give them back?’’ she asked. ‘‘How can you put such a qustion?’’’ saidhe. ‘‘Of course you are to return them to the own- er.’’ Beruria then took her husband into the chamber where the two children were lying, and pointing to them, while her tears were overflowing and her heart was nearly breaking, she courageously said, “The owner has come today and reclaimed these jewels in our trust.’’—From the Tal- mud in Minorah Monthly.

Reflections of a Bostonian,

At the menagerie there is a universal laugh on the faces of the people about the monkeys’ cage, while there is a look of sadness upon each simian visage. Can it be that while the monkey only appears funny to mankind the contemplation of mankind fills the monkey soul with sor- row’—Boston Transcript.
