It ls surprising the little interest we take in other people’s feet. Our own command the whole of our attention; and very worrying they are some- times. Have you ever noticed the shape of your feet? It may astonish you to know that one's feet are as much 2.11 index to one's character as one’s face. or. one's lines and wrinkles therein. This is the opinion of a foot strgenn whom P. W. has interviewed on the subject, “Palmlstry, physlognomy, and the like, are beside the mark compared with the value of the study of the feet In the formation of a man’s character," said he. “There are three classes of the human foot—Aryan, Scandinavian. and the Anglo—Saxon. The first two are pure; the third is the blend of the former. There is also a nondescript type. “The Celtic or Aryan foot was the foot of the old Phoenicians. and is the highest type of the human foot. It has many characteristics which stand out from all other feet. “You may know it by the big too being shorter than the next one to it, the big toe joint being large and long, the arch being short and high-pitched, and the heel-bone being irregular in form. The man with the Celtic foot will perform what he says; he will be strong, healthy, moral. It is the foot of the soldier, of the conqueror, and the trustworthy man. “In the Scandinavian foot the big toe stands far away from all the others. The arch ls flatter and longer than the Aryan; the heel is very symmetrical in ‘relation to the general outline; the toes are longer; the tread is narrower. It is the more elegant of the two, but the Celtic is the stronger development. The man with such a foot as this will be no less sincere than the Aryan-foot- ed man, but he will be slower in com- ing to a decision, and will perform his duty or a promise usually with less grace. For swimming it excels the Cel- tic; but the latter is all for long dis‘ tance walking, mountain climbing, rapid and quick movement. “The Anglo-Saxon may be termed the general all-round foot. We pass into degeneration from this, the foot that fills our prisons, hospitals, work- houscs, and supplies us with the foot- pad. “Even the prospects of marriage may be gleaned from comparison of the gfeet. “The Anglo-Saxon foot is that of the business men. The big toe and the one next to it are brought on a line. The arch is not so accurate as the Aryan, but an Improvement on the Scandina- vian. ., The displacement across the trend is greater than the Scandinavian, but not equal to the Aryan.” V THE EVENING GAZETTE“ HE LlKES THE' KLONDIKE. A l'lhui‘ (i. Jordon,a Well-Known Guido. Gives Some Facts. Arthur G. Jordan, one of the best- known guides to the Klondike, was in St. Louis recently, making up a. party to go "to the Alaskan gold fields. Speaking of the facilities for travel in the Klondike, he said: “There is now a good trail to Teslin Lake, where the. trip to Dawson City can be made by brat. I have just come from Stewart, after stopping a week at Seattle, and the trail from Telegraph Creek, a small village on the Stickeen River, to Tes~ lin Lake is dotted with parties of work- men in the employ of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway, who are getting ready to begin work on the new line of'rail- road from the Stickeen River to the lake. They are hauling material. and provisions now, so as to have every! thing in readiness as soon as the weather opens. The road, which is to be 130 miles in length, will have to be built inside of three months, and that is the reason preparations are being pushed now. They are also building a. steamboat on Teslin Lake that will transport freight and passengers from the railroad terminus to Dawson City. The water route from the terminus will. be across the lake to the Teslin River, down the Teslin River to Lewis River, thence to the Yukon, and on the Yukon to Dawson City. The trail from Telex graph Creek to Teslin Lake is now in first-class condition, and I will form my party as soon as possible, and will probably leave St. Louis within a. week. “There is 3. blockade at Skaguay and Dyea on the Skaguay trail, and people are dying there like sheep. The main trouble seems to be meningitis. The men are too warmly dressed, and go out during the day and work like beav- ers, carrying their sleds of provisions up the steep trail, and getting wet through with perspiration. They re~ turn to camp at night and don’t take the trouble to change their clothes. The nights are bitterly cold, and there have been instances where men have been frozen stiff while asleep. . “I have figured the cost of going 'to the Klondike, and a. man can safely make the trip and buy his outfit and provisions for a year for 3350. That in- cludes the cost of railroad fare and other expenses from St. Louis at the present rates. The merchants in Seattle thought they had a. gOod thing in dogs for the sleds, and so they bought them from all over the country.: Most of them are retrievers, shepherd dogs and Scotch collies. Seattle is filled ’ with them and the business has been so overdone that you can buy the best. kind of a. dog for $2.50 now. . “The Klondike country isn’t covered with snow all the time by any means, and it has been a. wonder to me that‘ 'g‘x-rtsmen haven‘t visited it. It is a. crfcrt paradise. for hunters. I saw a, More of hundreds of caribou at one time. and there is no end to sheep. moose and caribou. There are plenty of bear. loo, grizzlles, black bear and 523‘». er tips. .., —_——‘ , ._—— SHERMAN IN NEW YORK. Depends on How Spain Takes Demands.

Altoona, Pa., April 6.—The conven- tion of Pennsylvania bituminous coal miners, called to meet the operators and adjust grievances peaceably, opened here yesterday. The miners, however, failed in their object, as the great coal syndicate absolutely re- fused .to send representatives to meet their narratives. The situation in the Pennsylvania. region is gloomy. The strike has al- ready “egun at Patton at two of the mines. This is thought by many to be the beginning of the general strike. The Probability of war with Spain adds to the gravity of the strike situ- ation. Several of the great coal com- panies of the State have extensive contracts to deliver coal for war ships, $.1‘Sil‘91-‘i and the Atlantic coast navy yard-s. This Simply will be entirely out off in the event of a strike, and the miners count on this fact as :1, winning feature.
