Its FormationMM. kes it Almost as
Useful as a Hand,
Hindus possess a curious ability to
use their feet and toes in various in-
dustrial occupations. In the native
quarters of many Indian towns may
be seen the strange spectacle of a
butcher seizing a piece of meat in Ids
hands D.nd cutting it in two with a
stroke of his knife held between the
first and second toes of his foot, Tho
shoemaker uses no last, but turns
the unfinished shoe with his feet while
itis harms are busy in shaping it,
So the carpenter holds with his great
toe the board he is cutting, and the
woodturner handles his tools as well
with his toes as with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in their labor is not, however,
the mere result of practice, but, as
the investigations of French sclen-
tists prove, is principally due to the
fact that the Hindu foot is quite dif-
ferent from ours in its anatomical.
conformation.
The ankle of the Hindi. and the
articulation of the back of the foot
pormit considerable 'eternal motion,
Then the toes possess a surprising
mobility. The great toe can be moved
freely in all directions, and the first
and second toes are separated by a
wide space, sometimes as much as
five-eighths of an inch across at the
base of the toes and two inches at
their extremities.
The articulation of the hip is also
peculiar, and this renders it easier
to use the toes in handling objects
by enabling the Hindu to sit in a
squatting posture much more com-
fortably than we can.
A similar formation of the feet and
toes is found among the Annarnese,
but it is not, as aright he supposed,
a common thing among barbarous and
savage tribes. It is not found, for in-
stance, iii the South American Indian,
the negro, the Fuegian or the Arab.
One naturally thinks of the resem-
blance to a monkey which a human
being using both hands and feet in
the manner described above must pre-
sent, and yet the French investiga-
tors are careful to point out the fact
that the Hindu feet is not at all like
the foot ;of an ape or a monkey. The
great toes is not opposed to the other
toes like a thumb, as occurs with the
monkey, and accordingly the pedal
dexterity of the Ilindus is not to be
taken as an indication of simian de-
scent.
ideas may be tested before being recom-

Ambergris.
Formerly there was much mystery
surrounding the origin of ambergris,
that most voluble substance, but
now it is pretty generally agreed that
it is nothing more or less than a
"morbid secretion" due to a disease
of the liver of the sperm whale, The
whales which yield ambergris are in-
variably sickly and emaciated ani•
mals.
In ancient times this substance was
known as "amber," a name also ap-
plied subsequently to the fossil guru
now commonly so called. In order
to distinguish between the two one
was called amber gris (gray) and the
other amber jaunt! (yellow). So, we
perceive, the word "ambergris" means
simply r*ray amber. As in tire, cn-e
of. the fossil gum, pieces of it were
found from time to time on the shores
of the sea, where they had been cast
up by the waves.
How Tennyson Decided a Matter.
Here is Tennyson's own account to
Mr, James Knowles, editor of Thu
Nineteenth Century, of how he was
offered and accept sd the laureateship:
"The night before 1 was asked to take
the laureateship, which was offered to
me through Prince Albert's liking for
my 'In Memorian,' I dreamed he came.
to me and kissed me on the cheek, 1
said in my dream, 'Very kind, but
very German.' In the morning the 1 -le
ter about the laureateship was braug:it
to me and laid upon niy bed. 1
thought about it through the day, but
could not make up my mind whether
to take it or refuse it, 'and at the last
I wrote two letters, one accepting and
one declining, and threw thein on the
table and settle l to decide which 1

Knives, Forks and, Spoons.
Our ancestors ate with their fingers
until 1563, save for such aid as each
man's weapon of defense lent him, hi
cutting his meat, Then table knives
came in, and for a long time a bit of
wood was laid at the plate to hold the
food while it seas being cut 1"oras
did not conte in till 1611, introduced
from Italy, the land of culture and
refinement. too late as 1680 knives,
forks and spoons were so scarce that
in the farmer class each guest was ex-
pected to bring his own. The farmer
,and his wife sat with the servants at
the table; the children squatted on
the floor with the cats, dogs and fowls.
The servants' ate from a wooden boob,
the masters from a pewter plate, for
crockery and glass were unknown.
Origin of Spoons.
Two natural'objects seem to have
furnished the model for the spoon to
primitive man -the river or sea shell
and the leaf of plants. In southern,
China shell spoons are still used that
are closely reproduced in the familiar
porcelain spoon of that country,
while metal spoons are found. fn ,In-
dia on which are reproduced even

they were copied.

Mrs. T. was'doing her best to amuse

fancy dictated. 1?inally, after un-
usual exertion, she asked, "Does

Drawing himself up proudly, Ford
replied, "I'd have you' know, my

Prints Own Dictionary.
Mr. Edward Dwelly, of Herne Bay,
better known by his pen -name of
Ewen MacDonald; is now completing
the self-imposed task of compiling,
printing and publishing a Gaelic dic-
tionary entirely by his own labor. To
extend his knowledge of Gaelic he
joined various Scottish regiments, and
for the last fourtIen years he has
worked at the production of "Faelair
Gaidlig" in monthly parts. Unable to
afford to pay for publication in the
ordinary way he decided to print the
work himself. He taught himself the
art, and after compiling a list of a
million words giving their meanings
and local variations, and drawing a
thousand illustrations, he turned to
composing, plate -casting, printing,
trimming and binding, finally posting
the parts to subscribers. Next year he
hopes to have the work completed.
Mr. MacDonald has been cheered and
helped in his efforts by the grant of
a civil list pension of $250 early this
year. Mr. MacDonald is a Welshman
and speaks Welsh fluently as well as
Scotch Gaelic. The work will be com-
pleted in three volumes.
An Anci;nt "Fridkaise."
A manuscript cookbook of the year
1734 'contains this recipe for "a fric-
kaise" : "Take ye fowls, cut them in
pieces and clean them season with

cloves some parsley, a little bit of
1 onion. Let, them lay 2 hours then
flows them very web, fry in sweet
