I Wueeiee Ceu#e the Arch to Collapse. 1 The condition known ae flat foot is brought about by a stretching of the ligaments and a weakening of the supporting muecles, so that the foot, forced to its natural work of standing and walking, spreads un der the strain and the normal arch je obliterated. , ' All the miserable symptoms con nected with this trouble are due to the fact that the machinery of the foot has broken down and the weight of the body is too much for It. It follows that there will be many degrees of flat foot and of the suffering incident to it. Naturally a heavy person who is obliged to be on. his feet a great many hours of the day will suffer more than one of light weight who is in a position where he can humor his feet. This is why the foot breaks down so often m early adult life, when most persons take up their chosen occu pation. Such occupations as those of trained nurses, policemen, waiters and cooks will soon bring to light any unsuspected weakness of the foot mechanism, and in many cases this weakness is of such a degree ■•the la the World. America and Europe boast of many noted and justly famous min eral springs, but no doubt the oldest and most celebrated baths are the hot springs of Tiberias, in Galilee, which ever since the Roman occu pation have been renowned for their curative powers. They are in many, reepecta similar to the hot springs of Carlsbad. The temperature of the waters a* Tiberias averages about 140 degrees F., and they con tain sulphur, chloride of magnesium snd iron. i The present bathe at Tiberias were built in 1883, during the Egyptian invasion. Additions were made in 1890 by the Turkish gov ernment, but the accommodations are inferior and lack Cleanliness. The springs are frequented mostly by natives, who make pilgrimages from all parts of the country to bathe in the waters, which are re puted to have powers to cure chron ic rheumatism, and various diseases of the skin. In 1887 an attempt was made to install cleaner and more sanitary, up to date methods, but the plan was abandoned owing to the fact Celefcreted j He Wee e*« Al» Own Quarterdeck .end that the occupation must be that according to a firmin a lease on changed. Many women who wish to take up nursing and who are em inently fitted for this work in every other way are obliged to abandon it for the reason that their feet re fuse to meet the demands put upon them. The first sign that the foot is givy newed the baths could not be obtained for a longer period than two years, and as a result no person could be found who was willing to invest any amount of money with a chance that at the end of two years the lease on the baths would not be ro- ing out is a sensation of weakness. It passes off when the foot is al lowed to rest, but soon returns when the sufferer tries to use the feet again. By and by the dull ache will run farther and f rther up the leg; the knee will hurt, and then the hip. The dull, constant ache may be enlivened by a sudden sharp, darting pain, and the patient complains that he has gout or rheumatism. If the patient neglects treatment and persists in overuse of the foot he is driven to abnormal attitudes\ by the effort to adjust the weight of the body, and these unnatural at titudes will presently result in a permanent displacement of bones. The treatment of flat foot con sists of certain exercises designed to strengthen the weak muscles and to make passive motion of the foot free and painless. The patient must learn to throw the weight on the outer side of the foot, and to this end a shoe with the inner border of sole and heel n little thicker than t|ie outer one is often a great help. Long continuance in one position should he avoided, and the support ing metal arch which the majority of sufferers need should be as accu rately measured for and fitted as any other surgical appliance.— Youth’s Companion. The government considers the baths in their present state suffi cient for its purposes, which are to offer free lavations for the Bed ouins and a few private baths for native Turks of wealth. In Roman times the baths were called Ammaus. Pliny extols them for their sanatory properties. Ro man villas, temples and baths sur rounded the springs, and Herod’s acropolis crowned the heights near the thermal baths.-—New York Herald. B e S M Mis Lieutenant Nowhere are the lines of rank more sharply drawn than in the navy. On board ehip Jack never dreams of crossing the mark, but off service the personal ego some times reasserts itself and did even in the old days. In “Naval Yams” W. ’H. Long cites an instance of this which happened more than a hundred years ago. On the return of Admiral Rodney the British sea men received their first installment of prize money, amounting to £80 per man. Onp of the seamen hired the Lon don stagecoach to take the trip to Londok with his lady.. In those days there were not many public conveyances, and Jack took the whole coach, for himself and com panion. Just as the vehicle was about to start a naval officer came up and requested the coachman tq open the door. “The coach is full, sir,” said the coachman, touching his hat. “How can that be? There are only two in it.” “True, your honor. One of the crew of the Magnificent has en gaged the coach for himself and party.” “Oh, if that’s the case let me sec him, and I’ll soon settle the mat ter,” responded the officer, who opened the door and tried to enter Jack stopped him. “What ship? Where you steering to ? Don’t you know I ’m captain of this craft?” “I know it. Jack,” answered his officerr' “You must give me a berth on board for London.” “This is my ship,” insisted Jack, “and nobody shall come on board lest I says the word.” “Lieutenant Goodwin wants to take a berth in your cabin,” inter posed the coachman. “He never axed me into his cabin on board the Magnificent. How- Smooth W hite Welle. Who has not felt the irritating effect of the glare of a glossy white wall ? According to the art department of the Kansas State Agricultural college, there are two reasons for this—beeaxise there are few articles in the room that do not have color and because there is so ..much of the wall at which to look that it tires you. Even in tinted walls there is a glare from the smooth surface. If a rough finish is used there are so many tiny grains to break up the rays of light that .(his is overcome, and the effect is more restful. If a little caution is used in the care of the room the rough finish will not be insanitary. —Kansas Industrialist. somever, he may go on the deck if he likes. Hope he’ll look out for you and see that you’re steady at the helm and don’t serve us the same trick one of you landlubbers i j . j j j . g g y e a r g S g 0> when he ran smoo , afouj Qf a landmark and pitched us overboard.” The lieutenant took Jack’s reply in good part, mounted to the top of the coach and was rolled on to Lon don. Flavored to Taste. “It’s the insects,” complained the Solubility of Gold. Gold is one of the group of met- ; amateur gardener. “They destroy i onlnhlf* nnlv in that, m i x t u r e of all mv radishes, and try as I may 1 als soluble only in that mixture of ! all my radishes, and try nitric and hydrochloric acids known can’t exterminate them. ’ as aqua regia. It has been found, however, that the presence of cer tain organic compounds renders gold soluble in hydrochloric acid. Thus a mixture of this acid and chloroform is found to be a solvent. Ethyl, or ordinary alcohol, methyl alcohol and amyl alcohol are among the other substances which give to hydrochloric acid the power of dis solving gold. The solution takes place slowly in the cold and more quickly on heating. Independently Miserable. A day or two ago, having joined the boat train at Dover harbor station, the writer found a fellow passenger resting a heavy head on worried looking hands. The weather was quite pleasant, but one can never judge the channel by the appearance of Dover beach, so the question was asked sympathetically, “Was the crossing very rough?” \No said the passenger; “this is a personal matter.”—London Globe. _____________ M easuring Time W ith W ater. Under the Ptolemies the Egyp tians measured time by the clepsy dra, a hydraulic clock, the hours be ing determined by the quantity of water that escaped from a small or ifice in the reservoir. The simplest kind consisted of a transparent vase filled with water, graduated and having a small aperture in the bot tom. Ae the liquid escaped its height in the receptacle marked the h o u r . _____________ An Appropriate Name. “It is a pretty name,” the im pressionable traveler murmured. “But, tell me, why do they call you Manita?” There was an arch smile on the savage maiden's face. \Evidently she said as she sig naled to her brothers, who were concealed in the1 brush with clube, “you do not know our favorite iood.” “Best remedy I know,” said the friend, “is to lay salt between the rows. Never been known to fail.” “Well,” said the friend when next they met, “and did you try the salt on those insects?” <fYes,” replied the other, “and the next morning the little beggars were pulling up the radishes, dip ping them in the salt and eating them by the score.”—London Ideas. The First K n itting Machines. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth first mention is made of hand knit ting. William See in 1589 invented the first knitting machine, called a knitting frame or stocking frame. He was refused a patent in Eng- ! land and went to France and estab- i lished a factory at Roxien. This ma chine was introduced into the Unit ed States shortly after the Revolu tionary war, was modified and i in- proved by a Yankee and a factory established at Cohoes, N. Y., in | 1832. _____________ Right on the Job. Manxifacturer — I understand. You wish for some armor plate which no cannon shot can pierce. We are turning out that kind of thing every day. Government Agent — No, no! You misunderstand me. I wish you to manufacture a cannon that can pierce any armor plate. Manufacturer — Oh, certainly! We are turning out that kind of work every day also.—London Mail Equal to the Occasion. “Does your husband ever com pare your ways with his family?” asked the mischief making friend. “Oh, yes,” said the little bride, dimpling, “but I never get angry.” “That’s sweet of you,” warmly exclaimed the friefld. \But what does the brute say?” “He says,” replied the bride, “that there is nothing in on' home like the rumpus his mother used to make.”—Washington Star. All He Had to Say. An old negro was brought to trial in a southern town for stealing a chicken. “Rastus,” said the judge before pronouncing sentence, “I am about to give you two months in the work- house. Have you anything to say for yourself ?” “Good heavens, boss,” exclaimed the old man—“two months for etcalin’ one hen 1” “Have you anything to say?” re peated the judge sternly. “All I got to say is, boss,” de clared the negro, “ ’tain’ no use to sen’ me to no jail for two months for steal in’ one chicken, ’case ef I spent two months in jail for evTy chicken D-done stole I mought as well done been bawn in jail.”—Hu man Life. Bism arck and Coffee. Among great coffee drinkers a high place must be given to Bis marck. He liked coffee unadulter ated. While with the Prussian army in France he one day entered a country inn and asked the host if he had any chicory in the house. He had. Bismarck said, “Well, bring it me; all you have.\ The man obeyed and handed Bismarck a canister full of chicory. “Are you sure this is all you have?” de manded the chancellor. “Yes, mv lord; every grain.” “Then,” said Bismarck, keeping the canister by him, “go now and make me a pot of coffee.”—London Chronicle. A Costly Ton of Coal. On Jan. 10, 1789, thirteen men brought a wagon with a ton of coal from Loughborough, in Leicester shire, to London as a present to the then Prince of Wales. When the coni was emptied into the cellar the clerk of the cellars gave them 4 gxxineas, and as soon as the prince was informed of it his highness sent them 20 guineas and ordered them a pot of beer each man. They performed their joxirney, xvhich is 111 miles, in eleven days and drew the coal all the way with out any relief.—London ’Pit-Bits. Ne Tim s W asted. Olaf Larson, working in a milli nery warehouse, backed into an ele vator shaft and iell down five sto ries xvith a load of boxes. Horror stricken, the other employees rush ed (1 ’xvn the stairs, only to find him picki-’g himself unharmed out of the ibbish. “l bs de boss mad?” he whispered caiitioxialy. “TaP ’em Ay had to cobie down for nails anyway.*—* Butt aa Magazine. BY CAPTURE. A Bemlnele Brava Must Win HI* Wife In ■ Fair Race. - The Seminole is the only Indian today who is aa free as Were his an cestors in the pre-Columbian days. If all the world but the Everglades in Florida were to be blotted out of existence the latter would still be enough of a world for the Semi nole’s wants and happiness. He ie peaceable and honest and was never worthy of the terrible thmgs done to him a hundred years ago by the white men, when nearly everybody believed that the \only good Indian was a dead Indian.\ Marriage by wife capture apper tains among the Seminoles. After the parents of the girl have con sented to the marriage the young suitor sets a roasted wild turkey or a ham of venison at the door of the maiden’s home. If this be accept able to her the young brave is sure of his wife provided he can capture her in a fair race at the July com dance or on some other festive oc casion. After capturing his intended preparations are then made for the wedding. The very simple cere mony involves the bridegroom pro ceeding in gala attire to the girl’s home, there to remain through his life as a member of her family. So the Seminoles still live out their happy life, marrying and giv ing in marriage, cxiltivating their crops on the hummocks of the Ever glades, dwelling beneath the shade of the pine trees, selling alligators and other skins to the whites and in return buying bright calicoes and other merchandise brought to the trading post from Fort Myers. The Seminoles now number about 500 souls and appear to be gradually in creasing.—Living Chxirch. Taking the Proverb. Three nice, shiny surfaced buna. Three small, breathlessly waiting boys. Then the word “Go!” And they did go—just as fast as their six legs had ever gone before. Tommy won the race and was giv en, in consequence, first choice of the buns. \Well run, my boy!” the donor of the prize exclaimed. “The eftrly bird catches the worm, you know. So now, Mr. Early Bird, which one will you choose ?” Tommy examined the buns very carefully. Then he prodded them softly with his fingers. In fact, he seemed quite unable to decide the momentous question. “Say, uncle,” he asked at last, \would you mind just lettin’ me know which one has the worm in it?”—London Answers. Hudson Bay Tipping. The trappers and others em ployed by the Hudson Bay com pany have noticed that where deep water was to be found heretofore it is becoming so shallow that navi gation is occomplished with diffi- cxilty in places where there was for merly no scarcity of water. Investi gation has led tb the discovery that the shores of the great body of water are gradually being tipped as if un effort were being made to empty its waters into the adjoining sea. The bay where Henry Hudson spent the winter of 1610 has en tirely disappeared or has so changed that it cannot now be located, al though there are sufficient data left by him to do so. A Pleasurable Agreement. Frederick the Great once saw a crowd of men staring at something on a wall. Riding up, he found that the object of curiosity was a plac ard against himself. It had been placed so high that it was not easy to read it. Frederick ordered his attendants to take it down and put it lower. “My people and I,” he said, “have come to an agreement which satisfies us both. They are to say what they please, and I am to do what I please.”—Mathews’ “Liter ary Style and Other Essays.” Sincere, but Awkward. It was at the private theatricals, and the young man wished to com pliment his hostess, says the Boston Transcript. <rMadam, you played your part splendidly. It fits you to perfec tion.” “I’m afraid not. A young and pretty woman is needed for that part,” said the smiling hostess. “But, madam, you have positively proved the contrary.” Liae Wee Otherwise. Sam Jones foxmd Eliza Williams animatedly talking with Jim Lewie at a colored baptism. Now, Eliza was Sam’s “beet girl,” or he reck oned her that way, so, walkmg up, he sought to monopolize her vtiten- tion.

The 10months’ figures covering the commerce down to the close of April, just compiled by the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce pnd Labor, make it quite ap parent that in both imports itnd exports the total for the fiscal year of 1912 will be largest on record. Imports seem likoly to approximate 1600 million dol lars, exceeding by between 40 and 60 million dollars the high import record year 1910. when the total was 1,657 million dollars. Exports seem likely to approximate 2,200 million dollars, or about 160 million dollars more .than those of the previous high record of 2,049 mil lion made in the fiscal year 1911. This growth in foreign commerce while A b alarm of fire called oat the fire men about noon on Monday whefe It was found that the building recently nurehnsed by Mr. Rappeil, rituaied en Hempetesd Avenue, near Broadway, and occupied by a Mr. Simpson was ablaze. The firemen responded promptly and by their bard work suc ceeded in confining the fire to the in terior o f the building. The damage amounted to several hundred dollars, whieh was mostly confined to the furniture. It ia.belleved that the fire was caused by a defective flue. A stranger in this community, who gave hie name as Frank Beeee, with no acknowledged place of residence, and apparently about 26 years of age, was shot in the leg early Saturday morning about 1 :45 a. m. oy Officer Donlin, after refusing to halt and to gfve an account of himself, and while running away from the local officers. As Officers Strebeon and Donlin were patrolling lower Atlantic avenue at the time of the shooting, they noticed a man gliding from point to point as if desirous to remain in hiding. They followed the man for a short distance, when he perceiving that be was being trailed, dashed into a run. The two officers followed and after running quite a distance called to the man to “ h alt,” but he paid .no attention to the officers, and after'repeated warn ings, followed by the statement that if he did not halt he would be fired at. OfficeriDonlln discharged his gun, hit ting the man in the upper leg and bringing him t3 a stop. The man was immediately removed to a sheltered place and Dr. A. D. Jaques summoned, who quickly dressed the man’s injury, following which he was taken to the Nassau Hospital for treatment. When questioned Reese would not give any definite statement of where he belonged, but only acknowledged that he had recently been employed for several weeks at a leading New York Hotel.

Imports have increased approximately 860 million dollars since 1896, while ex ports in the same time have increased about 1,300 million, the excess of ex ports over imports in the same period increasing from 103 million dollars in 1896 to about 600 million dollars in the current fiscal year. This excess of ex ports of 600 million indicated for the fis cal year now closing will be laraer than that of anyjearlier years but 1896, 1901 and 1908, in each of which years it was considerably above the 600 million dollar line. The principal articles comprising the 1,600 million dollars of imports in the fiscal year, grouped according to the approximate magnitude of their pros pective totals are as follows: coffee, 120 million dollars; sugar, 110 million; rubber 100 million; nides and skins, 96 million; chemicals, etc., 90 million; cot ton manufactures, fiber manufactures, and raw silk, 50 to66 million; tin, fruits, and nuts and wood, includingmanufact- ures, each about 46 million; a rt works, copper manufactures, raw fibers, dia monds and other precious stones, and wool, between 36 and 40 million dollara each; and tea, spirits, wines and liquors, raw cotton, leather, paper, meat and dairy products, fur and fur skins, fish, cocoa, ranging downward from 20 mil lion to 10 million dollars each.

The largest increase occura in iron and steel, about 20 per cent, meat and dairy products, 20 per cent, and copper and mineral oils, each 10 per cent, the comparison, both in im ports and exports relating to value only. The growth in both imports and ex ports occurs in our trade with every grand division of the world except Africa and in the trade with nearly all the leading commercial countries. For the fiscal year the exports to Europe seem likely to be about 1,360 million dollars, against 1,808 million in 1911, the former high record year of exports. Exports to North America will ap proximate 600 million dollars, against the former high record of 467 million in 1911; and those to South America will probably aggregate 126 million dol lars against 109 million in 1911, the former high record in that trade. To Asia the year’s exports will amount to about 115 million dollars, a total larger than any other year except 1906, when Japan was drawing largely upon United States for food and supplies for use in the war with Russia, and China was importing large quantities of American cotton to supply the shortage resulting from the closing of the ports and mar kets of Manchuria, the great Asiatic consumer of cotton goods manufactured in this country. To Oceania the ex ports for the year will approximate 70 million dollars, against the former high record of 66 million in 1911. On the import side, the totals from all the grand divisions except Africa will be larger in the fiscal year 1912 than in the preceding year, while those from North America, South America, and Asia will probably- establish new high records. From Europe the year’s im ports will show an Increase of about 20 million dollars when compared with last year, the indicated total heing approxi mately 790 million dollars, against 768 million in 1911 and the high record to tal of 806 million reached iff 1910. Im ports from North America seem likely to aggregate 320 million dollara, com- . pared with 307 million in 1910 and 305 million in 1911, these being the only years in which that trade has exceeded $300,000,000. From South America the imports will probably reach, for the first time in any fiscal year, a total of 200 million dollars, the nearest approach thereto having been 196 million in 1910, and 183 million in 1911. The imports from Asia in ten months of current ear were a t the rate of 226 million dol lars per annum, which sum, if actually reached, will be about 12 million dollars more than the former high record made in 1911 and 1907. From Oceania the at 36 mil- doll ars less gh record year 1910, but exceeding by 5 million those of last year. Shipment from Hawaii, now a customs district of United States, are not included in these figures. The im ports from Africa will show a total of about 24 million dollara for the year, a sum larger than in any earlier year except 1911, when it exceeded 27 mil lion dollara.
