CUSTOM. HOUSE REFORM.

The Dockery Commissions report on
the New York Custom-House is likely
to occasion considerable excitement in
political circles. both inside and outside
the Wall street building.
The Commission makes the startling
discovery that the Custom-House has
been used more as a political asylum
than as business department OF the
Government OF great Importance to the
commercial interests OF the country.
In consequence OF this condition OF af-
fairs, which. OF course, no one has sus-
pected. the positions have been multi
Piled. the work indifrerently done and
the cost OF running the institution very
largely increased.
The Commission recommends cut
ting down OF employees, the appoint
ment OF experts in the business OF
revenue collection. rather than in the
running OF district politics. and a gen
eral consolidation OF Offices, which will
add to the efficiency but decrease the
patronage OF the department.
The present Custom House force is
largely Republican. and has hoped 10
remain undisturbed under the existing
Administration. But the incumbents
will scarcely feel as much chagrin as
will be experienced by the numerous
hard-working Democrats who have beer
striving for the last year and half &c
obtain some share OF the Custom House
Offices, so freely distributed among Re
publicans during the Harrison regime.

A New York surgeon confides this Inc
formation to his patrons There Is abso-
lutely no cure for corns. These excres-
censes are species Of fungus whose
roots are difficult to reach and are sell
dom or never destroyed. There are cases
on record of the amputation Of bad toe
where the troublesome corn has reap
peared on the neighboring good toe. Like
weeds in garden, the growth can be
retarded by persistent use Of the knife.
The extraction of a little white sub
stance called the pearl Is important.
When this Is removed the cuticle is ex-
cavated down to the quick. This cutting
leaves a hole in the toe. into which a lit
tie oxyde of zinc is put; this has a cool
ing, healing effect. A shield Of buckskin
with'a hole in the middle is then applied

NOT A TOE TRUST ETHER.

A New Yorker is suing a Steamship
Company for 5000 for the loss OF one
Of his big toes. which a hatChway door
fell upon and clipped OF while he was
enjoying a steerage ride in one of the
Company's boats Ii is startling to
speculate upon the amount he might
have sued for had his other toes been in
Guided in the debris; and had his fingers
and an eye or an ear been lost In the
ruins 1t is probable that he would have
fixed his damages at a sum that could
be expressed only by such row OF
figures as astronomers use in telling US
about the distances OF the fixed stars
Still one big toe is all that a man has
on one foot. and he may not care to he
separated from IL. The toe may be very
dear to him. and there is no reason in
that case why he should not make II
expensive TO others. There may hc
memories associated with it-a bunou
at the base OF II or an ingrowing nail
a something of that sort which Is his
other self. as II were, and the elision
OF which from his life would load down
his soul with gloom.
Fifty thousand dollars for such a loss
| is a mere bagatelle. OF course, and yet
II Is a great deal. The Steamship Com,

cars step on his foot and find no toe

There are no serious difficulties IN
learning how to carve, and. with lttie
study and patience. any one may
quickly learn to perform the task with
sufficient skill to at least avoid remark,
and every head of household ought to
make 1t a study. 1t is not an easy mat
ter to prepare good dinner. but II Is an
easy matter to spoil the effect by butch
ering the meats. Flattery is one OF the
foods an amateur carver thrives on; tell
him how handsome his hands are and
what graceful angles his palpitating ell

throw grease beyond the carving-mat
