Yon need it as beautiful, and only the large long and to strenethen your backbone a little, 'or broad foot is the ideal one in his eyes. Even many divergent opinions on this subject. While the sons of men look upon a small, slender and graceful foot (a lady's foot) as an ideal one, the anatomist utterly rejects rather, a good deal.. Shall I shoeti you how that opel ation is practicable. A gentleman in my congregation, many years a resident in this State, told me that, in his 'early Cali- fornia life, he was in the habit of drinking with a dimple of young men. He noticed that one individual in this company always ran on from the first glass into drunkenness. So he talked to him, urging him to refortn. "Ali," said the youth, "I cannot refuse the first glass, and when that touches my lips, it is all over with me. I am no longer meet,- er of myself. For me one glass is the same as tapping the barrel." " Well," replied my friend "will you. promise to act next time exactly as I do ?" He promised. When the Club next met, as usual, one invited the the greatest classical writers of antique, Ticn•acei Catullue and others, Who had great appreciation of feminine beauty, never me - tioned in the descriptions of their beloved —and, its is well knaiwn, they had many— their small feet. The people belonging to the Celtic race have small feet - the Hin- doos especially have such small feet and hands that they matbe envied by many European countesses. The native troops of the English army in India possess in Eng- land their own arm oryewhere peculiar kinds of weapons are Constructed for them. The sword hilts made for them are much too small for us to grasp with. ease. The great- est beauties of Europe, the Italians, have really long and broad feet." 1 CHANCERY. •- THE COLONIAL SECURITIES CO., (LIMITED), VS. WHITEFORD.

A glass vessel is filled with a solu- tion of acetate of lead (commonly known as sugar of lead), end a piece of brasswire.

This effect is partly attributable to Mere chemical affinity, and partly to an ejectic current which is set up between the riletals.
