jay Gould's Book.

Occasionally some person knocks at
the door of Jay Gould's office in the
Western Union building with COPY of
'.The History of Delaware County. New
York, by Jay Gould" to SELL An i'm
preston exists in the minds of many
people that Mr.. Gould is DESTROYS Of
suppressing this publication as COM
pletely as possible, and that he will pay
almost any price to get possession of the
few stray copies that are left. Resi-
dents of Delaware county are authority
for the statement that several years ago
an agent of Mr.. Gould's secured that
county for these books and bought near
ly all of them at fancy prices. When
ever a copy of this particular history of
Delaware county is displayed in that
county at the present day the older resi-
dents will advise the owner, "Jist you
take tibet down ter New York, an Jay
Gould1l give yer thirty or forty dollars
fer it, It is certain that nobody in Mr..
Gould's Office ever heard of his paving
any such price for one of those books.
And nobody is able to explain why Mr..
Gould should want to suppress the pub

Danger in Crowding tho Toes.


It is we'll known that the connection
between the nerves in the feet, and espe-
cially those in the great toe, and the
brain and general nervous organization
is strong. DR.. Brown-Sequard mentions
a patient who, whenever he bore the
weight of his body ON the toes of his
right foot, became violently insane. He
also speaks of another case where pres
sure on the toe caused severe nervous
paroxysms.
These cases simply show the impor-
lance of a proper care of the feet, por-
ton of the body that many people neg
lect. They think that they can crowd
their feet into tight shoes and abuse
them without serious results. They
can't do it, however. This crowding OF
five toes into space not large enough
for three, results in pressing the joints
out of shape and sometimes making
them inactive and powerless. No man
with his toes half paralyzed can walk
properly. The control of the toes is
necessary for springy step. Broad
soles and low heels give room fcr all the
toes and allow perfect freedom OF action
to every muscle. People who have
false standards of beauty for the feet,
however, insist on wearing q shoe that
is not natural in shape, and the result is
great discomfort, and in some cases
death.
AS consequence of these abuses we
are forgetting how to walk properly.
Perhaps You don't believe it, but just
watch the parade on Broadway some
fine afternoon and see how few men and
women walk on the street as if they
were not conscious of tight shoes and
deformed feet.-Interview in New York

FARMLAND.

Under the branches they went together,
The blossoming branches that break tho sky,
All in the morn of the young, sweet weather,
When softly the green on the bills doth lie;
And Dorothy thought it was over the meadow,
And Cicely said it was close by the spring.
But Polly was sure that the woodlands shadow
Sheltered that magical fairy ring.
So over the meadow they swiftly hied them
Oh, but the bird in the blue sang sweet!
They saw not the blush of the brier beside
them,
The violets smiling beneath their feet.
Long by the spring they fingered and listened;
Twas a diadem set in messy rim,
And oh, the beauty that clustered and glis-
tened
In frail ferns falling about its briml
They sought in the wood for wonder reveal
ing,
And saw not the leaves in net o'erhead.
Oh, but the song through the pinetops steal
ing,
And oh, that hush down the dim ways shed!
Homeward they wandered a sorrowful way.
And knew not the land they were leaving be-
hind them,
The rare new land of young June day!
But Dorothy thinks it is over the meadow.
And Gicely says it is close by the spring;
While Polly is sure that the woodlands
shadow
Shelters the magical fairy ring!
