The methers who train their child- ren to walk with toes pointing out- wards and counsel their little girls never to wear high heels when they grow up were told they were all wrong by Dr. W. H. Trethowan, orth- opaedic surgeon, in a lecture on "Healthy Feet," at the Institute of 'Hygiene, London, recently. "To walk !properly, he said, "the feet should be ' kept absolutely parallel. The 'quart- er to six' attitude is pne of the big mistakes of physical training. Three minutes re twelve and three minutes past is what you want when stand- ing. If you exaanine the tracks of the savage you will see that the foot- prints are straight and that he finishes by turning his feet in, so that all five ; toes help to push him along. "Remember that the foot is a lever to push the body along. You can only get the full effect of the lever by plac- ing all the toes straight on the ground. Feet are very often used as stumps. - a long stride is not good forthe feet. A slow, shott step is better, for it makes you rise on the toe. Never discourage a child who is turning his toes in unless he has an actual de- formity of the foot. He is probably trying to cure himself of knock-knees or weak ankles. When the feet a e turned out too much weight is throwh on the arch.

He sat in his accustomed place; his sightless eyes were riveted on the track ahead of him; his nerveless fingers still gripped the throttle. So lifelike was his position that the fireman who had become alarmed at the undiminished speed as they neared the station, shook him roughly before he realized that the man was dead. He shut off the steam and applied the brakes just in time to avert a terrible catas- trophe. A dead man at the throttle! How many calamities in life can be traced to men in a like condition] .God has given each of us the charge of a won- derful machine -the human body with its complex mechanism through with act or physical, mental and moral forces. We are each an engineer, and each of us must drive his machine along the destined path between eternities. Many meet with catastrophies. We cannot always explain -them. but. how many times the cause is -.a dead man at the throttle. He sits in his ac- customed place with his eyes fixed on the track ahead, but he is dead never- theless to all thought of moral or spiritual responsibility. There are helpless people on the track before him; but he dods not see or think or feel. It is one of the mystifying truths 61 life that a man ean be outwardly alive although inwardly dead. His mind may be keen and his senses a- lert, though he is dead in heart and soul. It would be better for the world if he were physically dead; for while he remains physically alive he is still an engineer in control of danger- ous forces -forces that he cannot use with consideration for others or as He who intrusted him with them in- tended them to be used. The powers it was his duty to control are great; uncontrolled, they are 5 curse rather than a blessing. Ungoverned by prin- ciple and love of others, they are sure to bring tradegy and suffeling to everyone in their path.

FROM THE LOG OF THE GAZELLE The late ex -Empress Eugenie left a beautiful and extremely valuable painting to Col, sir John Burgoyne "in remembrance of the chivalrous way in which he came to her assis- tance on September 6th, 1870." He was chivalrous, indeed. His stanch little yacht, the Gazelle, chanc- ed to be lying in the harbor of Troa- ville on the fateful day when Eugenie, flying from the Tuileries before the invasion of the mob, reached the coast under the protection of her American dentist, Dr. Evans, who with his nep- hew came on board to beg the owner to convey the imperiled fugitive to England. At first Sir John would not believe the story; but Lady Burgoyne presently recognized Dr. Evans, and then he placed the Gazelle unreserved- ly at the service of the empress. She, with one lady in waiting, was at a lodging hose where Dr. Evans' had passed her off as'insane. Just before midnight Dr. Hyans escorted the la- dies, closely veiled, to the dock. In the log of the Gazelle Sir John *de- scribed the meeting: "Went on the quay and met shortly afterwards two ladies, walking to- gether, with a gentleman who carried a bag after them. One of the ladies came up to me and said: "I believe you are the English gentleman who will take me to England. I am the empress! She then burst into tears Abd I told her my name and _offered her my arm, which she took and walk- ed on board the Gazelle, where 1 pre- sented Lady Burgoyne to her. She at once asked for newspalaprs and tidings of the emperor and Mince im- perial." At a quarter of two o'clock in the morning Sir John. who had been a- shore, entered in the log hook: "Mob at the cafes began making a great noise, singing the Marseillaise. Woke up men and got ready to ship. Went myself to the cafee and found drunk- en soldiers." As the party had. already seen a spy prowling round the wharf they felt that an attack by the demoralized soldiers was quite poseible. Sir John determined to tell his crew the name of his passenger, and that they miel,t lk called upon to defend her. They promised eagerly to do so. At dawn the little vessel left the harbor. It was a terrible passage. "Made but little way. Sea too heavy fer yacht. Teok another reef in sail and rice,d up tack," is one entry_ in the log." That was the storm in which the Brittish battleship Captain foundered; but the Gazelle came through it. "Many 'Ames poor Eugenie 'gave up hope. But Lady Burgoyne remained cool, cheerful and matter-of-fact through it all, and Ettgeniel, though e4i4f404,10,,,k terrified, was courageous; once she even mustered e smile and managed to observe tharshe had just come through a worse storm in Paris. At three o'clock in the morning the danger was over. At breakfast -the empresa was even gay. When the little company drank her health, she responded with a short speech of gratitude, closing with a tequest that she be allowed to present some little • token to the crew. Accordingly, the abashed but delighted sailors were aummoned to the cabin, where each in turn received from her hand a gold Napoleon. At half past seven o'clock, attired wholly in clothes borrowed from her hostess, Eugenie, ex -empress of the French, landed in Bngland, the coun- try that beeame thereafter her re- fuge and her home.
