ous as the man who deli
his leg up from the thigh aa though he
was going up-staira. That man la a
natural and an educated villein. In
England, where the tread-mill la used
in prisons, assy convicts acquire that
peculiar step, but itLs tho natural, oare-
fni, cat-like tread of the criminal. The
girl who walks with a flat foot planted
squarely on the ground, as though she
wanted it to grow there, may not be as
attractive as the girl with the arched
instep, but she is a good deal better-
natured. She is sure to be a good
nurse, kind hearted, sympathetic,
anxious to bear the burdens of others,
while the girl with the arched foot is
nearly sure to be selfish, and certain to
bo a coquette if she walks on her toes.
The man of short, nervous steps is
always a business man of energy, but
if tho stride h from tbe knee only, he
is cold and selfish, _ caring for no one
but himself. Tbe man whose stride is
long and at the same time energetic, is
generally bright, always erratic and
m-balancod, often eonceitcd, always
careless, fond of admiration, generally
willing to sacrifice much for praise and
eclat, and, while often a good fellow,
generally unreliable. The diplomat
and the financier have a smooth, glid
ing walk, hard to describe, but easy to
recognize. There iw nothing sneaking
about it, but it betokens careful de
liberation, as though every step were
duly considered before being made.
Great statesmen and great philanthro
pists always have a loose, shambling
gait, which comes frdfn thinking about
others more than about themselves.
The strut of the vain man. the teeter
ing trip of the “dude,” the lounging
gait of the unemployed club man, are
all too familiar to call for description.

l "lost flesh and energy—I lost three
years from my business and spent $2,-
000, in a fruitless effort to regain my
health. At last, when I began to con
sider my case hopeless, I commenced
taking S. 8. 8., aud inn short time, I
was entirely cured. I waited a year
after a cure was effected, and contin
ued to take Swift’s Specific off and on
as a sort of safeguard, before I was
willing to make public this marvelous
cure. Being assured beyond the pos
sibility of a‘doubt that the cure was
permanent, I wrote this history of my
case for the benefit of my fellow-imm.
My skiu is now as smooth as it was
when a boy. I weigh more than I ever
did n my life, aud my general health
was never better. I passed through
last winter (which was an unusually
cold one), without lofting a single day
from my business. For the last twelve
months 1 have had uo return of the
Erysipelas in any shape or form, or
any touch of Eczema.”

To say that a person walks like a lady
like ’ ’
or like a gentleman is high praise.
The gait can never be picked np in
after life, it must be born in a man or
woman, and cultivated in early youth.
It is lost to a man when ho falls into
bad ways, for so surely as he loses his
consciousness of rectitude and pride of
honor, so surely will ho pick up the
gait of the loafer. An honest man,
gentle or simple, never walks like a
thief, and a thief can never counterfeit
tho gait of an honest man. but in at
tempting to apply these rules to men,
one knows it must be remembered that
all.thieves are not caught, and all sus
pected persons are not had.—A.4a CWi-

A Hungry Python’* Breakfast.
“This is tho fellow who gobbled up
the kitten,” said Mr. Burns, of No. 115
Roosevelt street, as he pulled a box in
to the middle of the store and carefully
lifted the lid. A large python lay con
tentedly coiled up in the bottom and
lazily lifted his head and blinked at the
observers, while a number of monkeys
who had spied his snakesbip from
couple of cages began jumping wildly
from side to side and set up an un
earthly screeching, in which some three
hundred parrots and cockatoos hearti
ly joined. A black cat that had can-
tlously crept up aud sniffed the box
humped her back, thickened her tail,
and spit.
■“That’s the mother of tho kitten that
the snnke ate,” added Mr. Burns. Tho
pvthon waj a splendid specimen of hi*
kind. Ho was over twenty feet in
length and ton inches thick. The kit
ten roust have been pretty well digest
ed, for there was no abnormal bunch
in the snake’s body to indicate where
it lav. Mr. Burns received this and
two other African pythons two days
n the
ago, and neglected to nail dow
lid of the box that held the East india
snake. In the morning, after the arri
v:vl of tho snakes, when he entered the
store he noticed the old black catwalk
ing about as if in search of somethin
and mowing pitifully. He suspect*
that something was wrong, and soon
after discovered that the python had
made his escape from the box. He
found him at last coiled up in an en j^*
ty barrel in the roar of the store,
was in a bad humor, and made a dash
at Mr. Burns, but tho 'latter was too
quick for tho reptile, and seized it by
tho neck. “The fellow then tried to
coil himself around me and give me a
squeeze,” ho said, “but I know how to
handle theso animals, and didn’t give
him a chance, I put him into his box
and shut down the lid. He is quiet
enough now, and will remain so until
he gets hungry again "
The other two pythons are smaller
and their bodies arc of a darker color.
Mr. Burns gently shook one box and
the snake raised his head, darted out
his forked tongue, made two or three
crooks in his neck, and gazed steadily
at the reporter. "He’s going to make
a grab at you,” said Mr. Burns, and
slammed down the lid, “I know when
these fellows mean mischief. Do they
bite hard? Well, they can draw con
siderable blood, and their bite smarts.
I’ve been bitten several times and have
hod two or three tight squeezes, but I
r -ftb them around the throat and then
know just how they intend to colL
They can’t fool me now any more.”—
