year before last 1 had two women patrons
to one man." said a chiropodist. But last
year, and SO far this year. the falling off in the
former patronage has been more than one-half
But there has been no decrease in the number
of my male customers. How do l account for
all this? Easily. Fashion in shoes is responsible
for it. A year and a half ago the high, narrow
French heels were the fashion in women's
shoes. and they are one OF the best friends a
chiropodist can have. They are regular and
rapid breeders of corns. No woman can wear
q pair of such shoes long without looking up
corn doctor. But the low, fiat heel is now
the fashion. If the rest or the shoe fits the
foot, these heels are the natural enemy of
corns. and the chiropodist has to suffer- 1t is
generally believed that women are more vain
of their feet than men are of theirs. but my
experience has shown me that quite the con-
trary is the fact Men will insist on making
their feet look small, and any shoe that will do
that is the fashion for them. The narrow-toed
or ''toothpick' style of mems Shoes worn now
as much as ever, will always insure the corn
doctor a living, especially IL the shoes are pat
ent leather. A patent leather shoe. for some
reason. will call a corn into being much quicker
than an ordinary leather shoe. The fellows
who don't have corns are those who wear
large. A shoe too large is as bad as one too
small An diversified shoe makes corns on the
bottom of the feet, and they are the worst kind.
The late war was the greatest corn curer ever
known. never knew of a single case of a SOL
Ter in that war who suffered from corns, and I
was ali through it II law should be passed
that no shoe should be worn in this country
but the pattern army shoe Of the rebellion,

NO DANGER OF A BLow.UP.
The District Chemists Report on Gas i'm
the Electrical Subways.

Some time ago. while Mayor Grant was busy
removing the overhead wires in New York CITY.
several dangerous explosions occurred in the
electrical subways, due to the escape of
illuminating gas from the large mains This
gas would collect in the manholes or in the
subways. At that time Major Raymond went to
New York and investigated the matter. Imme-
diately upon his return Major Raymond di-
rected Prof Richardson. the District chemist.
to make a careful investigation of the subways
in this city and report thereon The matter
was looked into at some length by the chemist,
and to-day he submitted the following report:
Il have made an examination of the cleo
trical subways in this city for the purpose of
detecting the presence of coal-gas in them. and
have the honor to make the following report
upon the subject: The loss of gas by leakage
| in our streets is stated by the president OF the
Washington gas company to be but per cent
| of the amount passing into the mains. Ii rs
therefore. improbable that large leaks should
| afford means of supplying sufficient gas to
| form explosive mixtures in the subways. In
fact, after careful examination, only four man.
| holes have been found where the odor OF gas
| could be detected, namely, at Pennsylvania
avenue and I'd street; at Pennsylvania avenue
| and Sth street, and at the fourth
man-hole in front of the executive
| mansion. In none of these was the amount
sufficient to make the atmosphere of the hole
explosive. and even were il so the small space.
| but few cubic feet. would not contain sufi-
| cient gas to cause dangerous explosion if
| ignitsd, and would probably do no more than
lift the corner l am of the opinion therefore.
| that there exist no conditions at present for
| explosion in our electric subways, but shall
continue my investigations more in detail in
| the near future"
! In speaking of the above report Major Ray
| mond told STAR reporter that he didn't think
| the people OF Washington need fear any under
| ground explosions, the loss OF gas stated is
| so extremely small, being only per cent of the
| amount passing into the mains, while in New
| York tine loss is 40 per cent

Capt. Symons and the Carriage Blocks.

10 the Editor OF EVENING STAR:
The sentiments expressed in the letter OF
"E. w. T." published in your esteemed paper
of Saturday, meets with the entire approval o!
not only those who have gone to the expense
OF providing themselves with carriage blocks
for their convenience. but also of the many in
valias and old and infrm, to whom most of the
business men OF this community have thought
it proper to extend this little convenience in
transacting their business with them.
It is sincerely hoped that the recommends
ton of Capt. Symons to the Commissioners, to
cause the removal OF carriage blocks, will not
avail anything The recommendation is an IN
warranted interference in privilege which is
not denied to the property-owners and bust
ness men of any other city.
1t is suggested that if some of the gentle
men. in charge of District affairs, cannot find
opportunities to better serve the citizens of this
city than by annoying them with frivolous
recommendations as to carriage blocks, it NIGH
be well for them to take an extended leave of
absence in order to enjoy their vague fancies
alone and without fear of serious opposition
from taxpayers, whose personal property they
seem SO willing to have confiscated
