Released Her Imprisoned Foot.

A women crossing a network of rail
road tracks i'll Long Island City not
long ago stepped on a frog, which was
unlocked, and pinioned her foot Sc
curelY. There was possibly no danger
from an approaching train, for there
were many men abont, but her posi-
tion was not comfortable.
Her cries attracted assistance to her
side, and the groups of men began
suggesting first one thing, then an
other to release the foot. "Give q
sudden jerk, ," suggested one. "Slide
your foot forward" said another. The
woman tried, but could not move her
foot.
"No, that won't do" cried third.
sect crowbar. Get anything. We've
got to pry it out" At this the woman
became hysterical, and the men all
grew nervous. Several ran up the
track, and several down to signal any
approaching train.
just then, when the excitement was
high, railroad employo crossed the
track, swinging tin dinner pail.
"What's the matter?" he asked of one
of the crowd. The situation was ez-
planned to him. Everything had been
tried, his informant said, and they
were waiting for n crowbar.
''Why don't pou unlace the shoe, u
he said, and taking a knife from his
pocket he cut the laces. No one had
thought of that, but the remedy was
effectual, and in fifteen seconds the
half fainting woman was able to pull
her foot from the shoe, and a slight
effort then released the latter. New

The money value of hands and
fingers has been made the subject of
an interesting estimate by one of the
German miners accident insurance
companies. According to this the loss
of both hands represents loss of 100
per cent. efficiency, or, in other words,
the whole ability to earn living.
Losing the right hand depreciates the
value of an individual as a worker
seventy to eighty per cent, whilo the
loss OF the left hand represents from
sixty to seventy per cent. CT the earn
iugs of both hands. The thumb is
reckoned to be worth from twenty TO
thirty per cent. of the earnings, the
first finger of the right hand is valued
Mt from fourteen TO eighteen per cent !;
that of the left hand, at from eight to
1875 per cent. The middle finger is
valued at no more than from seven to
nine per cent, while the little finger
is worth from nine to twelve per cent.
The difference in the percentages, it is
explained, is occasioned by the differ

''The investigations of DIR. Park
hurst and the Lexow Committee make
it reasonably certain that in the past
thirty years New York's police force
has levied and collected 500, 900, 600
blackmail. The shady houses in New
York have paid in hush money" esti-
mates the Atlanta Constitution, "S9,-
100000 year to the police officials.
The blood money paid by the green
goods men amounts TO S14, 600 per an
mum. The policy writer's have paid
the police $40, 200 year. A con
servative estimate shows that the
gamblers have paid S72, 900 year for
this unlawful protection. About two
thousand merchants pay $4,000 a
year for the privilege of obstructing
the. sidewalks with their goods. The
saloon keepers pay about 81, 75O. coo a
year TO escape prosecution for their
violations of law. The evidence shows
that this blackmail has been levied
for thirty years, and at the lowest es-
innate it must amount TO 500, 600. 900,
and 1T may possibly run $50, 600, 900
above that sum. Such chapter of
municipal corruption has never before
been exposed. And yet it must be ai-
mitted that Now York has many po-
lice officers and privates who are as
honest, brave and efficient as any in
the land. But the corrupt conduct of
others has brought the entire force
under suspicion. Naturally, the scan
dal has encouraged the lawless classes,
and they are loud in their elamor
against the police. In the interests
of law and order it is to be hoped that
there will be thorough and speedy
reform. 1t would be calamity to the
whole country to have this state of af-
irs continue much longer in the
