NOT A TOE TRUST EITHER.

A New Yorker Is suing a Steamship
Company for $4,000 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. 1t Is startling to
speculate upon the amount he might
have sued for had his other toes been in
cluded in the debris: and had his fingers
and an eye or an ear been lost in the
ruins It 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 man has
on one foot, and he may not care to be
separated from II. 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 be
| memories associated with tia bunion
at the base OF 1t or an ingrowing nail
something OF that sort which is his
other self. as 1t 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
1t Is a great deal. The Steamship Com.
pany might put In a counter claim for
the ghoulish glee which the big-toe-iess
man will enjoy when persons in the ~
cars step on his foot and md no toe
there TO scrunch.

CUsTon.HOUsE REFORM.

The Dockery Commissions report on
the New York Custom House is likely
to occasion considerable excitement in
political circles, both inside add outside
the Wall street bulldog.
The Commission makes the startling
discovery that the Custom House has
been used more a, a political asylum
than as a 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 indifferently done and
the cost of running the institution very
largely increased.
The Commission recommends n 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 n 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 to
remain undisturbed under the existing
Administration. But the incumbents
will scarcely feel as much chagrln as
will be experienced by the numerous
Woodworking Democrats who have beer
obtain some share of the Custom HOUSE
Offices. so freely distributed among Re
publicans during the Harrison regime.

when n Man PrOposes.

80 few men know how to propose
WE'LL" a woman writes. almost always
directly a man has said, 4 love you,'
there comes a pause in the conversation.
and thence on a paucity OF ideas on his
part. 1t is a good thing to lift the strain
little for man by saying something
ordinary and commonplace after the pro-
posal is over OF course. II it is a pro-
posal you are going to accept he kisses
you, and that starts the conversation
comfortably again, or else renders II
unnecessary. But it Is different when
you refuse a man. OF course. 1t Is not
really fair to let a man kiss you under
such circumstances, unless indeed you
want to see how he does it and this is
going to be your last chance. Some men
are so queer, you know. after they are
refused. If you are not going to let him
kiss you 1t would be better to get in some
quaint little remark right off, to set
things going again"

They Make Homework Easy.

In certain household there are three
women-a mother and two grown daugh-
tiers. Circumstances have lately CONF
PEELED them to perform that function
Familiarity known as doing ones own
They find that the method employed bS
them expedites matters a great deal and
makes the housework very much easier
for them all. The method is this: One
gets the breakfast, then she goes up
stairs to do the work there, and the
other two wash the dishes Another gets
the dinner, and then she does not wash
the dishes. The third gets the supper.
with the same after result. The next
day the woman who prepared breakfast
has dinner to get, and on the following
day she has supper. There Is thus some
considerable variety in the meals. much
more han there would be IL only one

more change for the workers and more
chance to rest from the toll that house,
work. properly done, must Of necessity
entail upon some one.- These three wo-
men believe that they have found as
pleasant a method as there could b. Of
doing this.

Harmless Corn salve.

A New York surgeon confides this in
formation to his patrons: There is absaL
lutely no cure for corns. These excres-
censes are a 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 little white SUBJ
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 hole in the middle is then applied
TO remove the pressure of the footwear.
This salve and plaster is one of the few
helpful and harmless remedies for the
nuisance,

RustIes and Walking Coats.

A characteristic Of the walking-coat Is
the full skirt. Frocks, Prince Aloerts
and the military Jackets are all tight
fitting in the back with considerable
spring to the cores. The style now, Is
to make this fulness hang prettily with
out the suggestion of an extender. Inc
dresses are also very full, but a little
hair cloth is used for support and pull
back for stability. To get just the TIT
desired silk cushions filled with CURED
hair are put in the belt, tackled on one
side of the band and hooked on the
other. These tailor-made bustles are
for all the world like the pads win
which the pressers hold hot irons.

Cain and His Wife.

To the Editor:
Kindly permit a few more lines on the vexed
subject OF Gains wife. In accepting the Bible
record that Adam and Eve are our hrst parents,
and that Cain was their Oldest son, It is safe to
follow the account to its logical conclusion.
In Gen. ~. we find recorded the names OF
Adams three oldest sons, and in Gen. ". 4. 1t Is
stated that Adam had sons and daughters. We

To the Editor:
A residence OF some Ave years In the island

spondcnt "a. W. E" that the wild tribes that
inhabit tho, jungles are named Veddahs' and
are beyond all question human. They have feet
like any other native. Their vegetarian diet Is

timid to steal tame ones. Perhaps some day.

Grass Bonncts.

Grasses from Asia and South America
are imported for lightweight Winter
bonnets. The material is woven into
braids of various widths, and these
braids are plated and crocheted into
fancy patterns and made into the shapes
required. Grass bonnets are as SOFT as
any of the fine felts, very responsive and
admit OF the most artistic trimming.
They may be had in fast black and all
the fashionable shades Of brown. 1t
remains to be seen whether grass
widows will adopt grass bonnets as the
insignia of their honorable discharge
from the martyrdom of matrimony.

There are no serious difficulties In
learning how to carve, and, with little
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 it a study. 1t Is not an easy mat
ter to prepare a good dinner, but 1t 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
bows make in mid-air. and he may not
throw grease beyond the carving-mat.

THE STATES DISGRACE.

The Elmira Reformatory Commission
held meeting at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel yesterday to hear the opening Of the
defense which Lawyer" WINS sought
to foreshadow In rambling newspa-
per article a few days ago. The begin
ming OF the task of proving the Elmira
not very promising.
The witnesses relied on to disprove
the charges made on behalf Of the State
are mainly the associate demons of the
bathroom and the solitary cells who
assisted the Superintendent In his en-
forcement of discipline. After declaring
that he had never witnessed any Eek
cessive brutality" on the part OF Brock
way towards his victims. one of them
admitted that he had seen prisoners
struck in the face with the cruel paddle
when they turned their heads to plead
for mercy; that he had washed blood
stains from the walls OF the torture
chamber, and that he had himself
heated the iron hook to a red heat be
fore using 1t to drag refractory prison
ers from the dark cells for bathroom
discipline"

would catch hold of 1t as It was thrus

sufficient to substantiste all the charge
made against the institution, and I

THE WESTERN HORROR.

The stories that come from the scene
OF the great forest fires give vivid
description OF the terrible incidents con-
sequent on the calamity, but yet they
convey only faint Idea of the reality.
People driven into the lakes and rivers
and compelled to remain there for hours
until the fires had burned themselves
out. Men jumping into dry wells to
escape the flames and there slowly suf-
located to death without the possibility
of escape.
