Uncle sam's Auctions.

Of all the queer auctions in the world, none perhaps is queerer than the sales of unclaimed and abandoned prop erty at the New York custom house' Here is the iotsam and jetsem of com merce and private property me packages and boxes, unclaimed ana ma abandoned which have lain there Tor year awaiting owners, attract the most yarieRated crowd to be found any where in the Metropolis.
 There are curio hunters and curiosity seekers, brica-brac and picture col lectors. funk dealers and small specu- lators of all sorts. Men with thfrsts of an expensive character go there in the hope of buying very much booze for very little money, and otten they are rewarded in a wonderful measure. At the sale last week longshoreman bought a barrel of sour wine for 90 cents. Just think what must have happened on the dock. Five hundred straw hats were sold for s45 dollars. A dollar and a half apiece for them will he cheap on the fifteenth of next June, In the miscellaneous collection Of things which piles up in the custom house every year. some amazing treas ures have been trove, particularly in old pictures, pottery, textiles ana the like. Some pictures bought for song in the custom house auctions nave later. it Is said, figured at astounding prices in the uptown galleries. and gone to adorn the mansions of men or boundless means.
 But in the long run. it is likely the stuff brings about what it Is worth, which is, in fact, true of every auction, although the great, easy public. hungry for anything in the nature of d bar gain, hates to believe 1t.

youngsters on little less than the tender
 kernels of maize, sweet from their first sprouting. The nearest corn field was two miles away, yet she frequently re- turned with a fresh bunch of unrooted sprouts after an absence of scarcely 2
 minutes. This surprised me beyond all measure, for it meant a speed in light of 120 miles an hour, without taking account of the time needed for pulling the corn. A happy accident ex- plained the puzzle. came upon "Crusoe" pulling corn sprouts in a
 field near "Briertown" He methodi- cally dropped them in little heap on the earth, all the roots together; and when he had collected enough he clutched them in his claws and bore them away in the direction of the lone pine. Strangely enough. however, he did not go all the way to the hickory
 knoll. but stopped on the bare limb of
 an old dead chestnut, which had been
 scared by lightning stroke. There
 another crow came to him. and almost
 immediately afterward he returned to the corn field for another bunch of sprouts. Meanwhile, as soon guess
 ed. his mate was carrying the first sup ply of corn sprouts up through the
 hickory woods to stun them down the expecting mouths in her nest. 'Crusoe" would not go to the nest while there was a chance of a visit from me, but he would do his duty, nevertheless, as the father of a family
 His mate could guard the nest, leaving
 it only for short trips to the dead chest
 nut tree, where he would bring her the
 fruits of his industrious forasing.

stockings. It is wise to use good
 quality of stockings. Those which arc
 coase and harsh and have rough seams
 are as bad for the feet as are ill-fitting
 shoes.
 Some of you. fear. know the mean
 ing of that disagreeable word. chil-
 blafn. It has happened to you on some
 winter day to have very cold feet, SC
 cold that they almost ceased to have
 any sensation, but felt like sticks Some part of them. the toes or the heels or the elastic cushion under the soles of the foot suffered from d touch of frost. Once Jack Frost has seized on any part of the body, it is hard to route him. He is quite apt to come back year after year in a freeze or q thaw. Feet that are ost-bitten swell and burn and itch and throb and ache and sometimes crack. They are in- expressibly painful.
 All sorts of remedies are suggested Agnes tells me that her feet are better If she rubs them with snow, that the snow seems to take out the acute dis. tress and the fire which come into frozen feet. Polly, on the other hand
 has found relief by soaking her feet in water as hot as 1t can be borne, fin which has been dissolved double
 handful of pulverized alum. Relief is
 sometimes given by an alcohol rub One of the best things to do for this
 trouble is to build up your health in general Do all that you can to have good circulation. and. above everything else, dress warmly. If your feet are tired from too long standing or toe much walking, rub them well with
 olive oil. But remember that no other treatment so quickly gives a feeling of rest as hot bath with plenty of salt
 Every girl who can should have in use several pairs of shoes at the same time, as one is often greatly refreshed by simply changing ones foot-gear Have beside the bed at night a pair of slippers or slumber shoes. and do not walk around cold floors with bare feet.
 Some of you have great aversion
 to overshoes. l do not quite understand why. If you wear thick shoes with cork soles, you will be protected from ordinary dampness, but for rain and snow nothing equals, in the way of ef-
 ficient protection. a part of good old fashioned rubbers. If you live in a hill country, and must tramp over rough roads, choose rubbers with a sole of extra thickness. They may be had at country stores though you ransack city shops for them in vain.

Keep Corporations out of Politics.

Nashville American (Dem)
 In the United States the government is intended to be government of men. A corporation is not a citizen with q right to vote or take hand otherwise In politics It is an artificial creation. brought into existence by favor of the State solely to perform the functions allowed by its charter. Interference ny It with the State and attempts by it to exercise rights of citisensiifp are fundamentally a perversion of it's power Its stockholders. no matter how wise or how rich. should be forced to exercise their political influence as individuals on an equality with other men. That is the basic principle of democracy. and forgetfulness of 1t Is responsible for many corporation abuses and for much of the popular prejudice against incorporated wealth,

hitherto been held a joke in some quar- ters, Is now proving its worth to a sane city government, in the broad, intelli- gent manner in which 1t has set about mapping out of Staten Island for future utilization as a part of the City of New York.
 What the Municipal Art Society is trying to do is to make best use of all it's natural beauties for residence and park purposes, and of its level areas and waterfront for the conduct of business. To lay out the streets in such manner as to compel the most ra- tional development as the growth of the island progresses, will prevent the tumble of streets and the destruction of what should be available space, which now makes the lower end of New York a byword and disgrace. The Mutual Art Society has stood many a joke, but Staten Island bids fair to be a monument that will neutralize them all. Other municipalities please copy.

 Mamma Crow Fed the BirdIings.
 H. s. Deming in Harper's Magazine.
 When the blue eggs of the crows nest matched in the middle of June I no longer stayed away from the hickory knoll For although the old crow with a malignant glance over his shoulder at me as he flew. would glide off down the hill just as often as he discovered me. the mother crow would not desert the featherless youngsters. She seldom was absent from the nest for long while I was near; and often when ap- parently she was gone away, she was keeping close watch on me. Usually took my post a rod or two from the base of the pine, and lay stretched out on a shadow -fiecked rock, the more easily to look upwards at the doings of the crow. If I left my post for a half-minute the crow would discover me. Each day I would test her alert ness by making as if to chamber up the trunk of the pine. She might have been gone one minute or ten, but could never get more than started up the rocks at the foot of her tree before she would appear. as if out of nowhere, and with glittering eyes swoop re- peatedly past my head.
 Although her absence from the nest were short, she seemed to have no difficulty in finding food for her young. And for one whole week she fed her

BY MARGARET E. sANGsTER. (Copyright, 1905. by Joseph B. Bowles). I suppose. dear child. that in com mon with half the girls in the world, you fancy a little foot to, be the very perfection of beauty. In China. this idea has for ages been carried to such an extreme that aristocratic mothers go tottering about on tiny deformed feet. and when their little girls have reached the age of three or four, a painful process Of foot binding occurs, which effectually prevents the growth :. of those little members. The toes are bent in under the foot, and a sort of club effect Is produced. which Chinese fashion regards ais elegant. It Is really a hideous distortion. 4s
 Here fin. America we do not bind our feet, but many school girls do some thing almost as foolish in the effort to squeeze them into shoes too short or too narrow, or, in some way ili-fitting. One of our early English poets, writ ing about village bella. said:
 Her feet beneath her petticoat
 Like little mice stole In and out.
 And another who belonged to the period of Queen Elizabeth, made this pretty stanza about the lf:tle feet of a court lady:
 When she stood up for dancing
 Her steps were so complete,
 The music almost killed Itself
 To listen to her feet"
 Other poets have written about feet SO light that they scarcely bent the blue-beIls in the field. or left mark on the velvet sod all sprinkled over with vioIets In the spring. But I have never seen such feet. Most of the girls I know have substantial feet of their own, as they ought to have, and flowers would be trampfed upon if they were in the path of feet trod. Neither do admire a, foot just because 1t is small nor think 1t an honor to wear a small shoe. s .i,s 'a

been seen before now with very gem erous feet.
 As a rule, American girls have dainty feet, and are very particular about the style and it of their shoes. A shoe should at perfectly over the instep. and should well support the arch of the foot. It should be wee bit long, : CT than the foot, because, when you stand, the weight of the body Is thrown forward on the great toe. It should be neither too loose nor too tight. shoe which slips abont on the foot like 8 boat Is as likely to produce corns and bunions as a shoe which presses uncomfortably upon any part like a wise. For walking, running, going to school, and for the uses of every day wear a shoe with broad sole and low heel Narrow, pointed toes and high heels are perilous to safety, as well as injurious to the foot. In these days of polished floors and rugs, even sure footed girl may make a slip and re- ceive injury from an unlucky tumble If the heel be too high. Shall I re- mind you that no girl can make a good appearance or be tidy and trim who wears shoes run down at the heel carelessly tied, or with buttons miss ing? A little daily care to keep shoes well mended and to give them from time to time a new coat of polish by means of the ordinary shoe varnish and a brush, will do much to make you look well-dressed. The French who are very nice about such things, say that if girl be we'll shod and well gloved. the rest of the dress does not much matter.
 It is a great pity that any girl in her teens should ever suffer from cal lous places or corns on her feet If once they have come. the obvious thing is to get rid of them as soon as

 face is softened, pick the corn out. if you can, remembering that any instru-

EceIesiasticaI Hair Splitting.

If churches and what they teach are losing their hold upon the masses, per haps nothing is more nearly responsi- ble for it than such witless perform ances as the protest of a clergyman against the angels carved by Sculptor RorSlum. for the Belmont Memorial Chapel of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
 It was all very well to redden the rivers of Europe with the blood of the nations over the question of trans standardization. but when in the twentieth century a financial dominic halts a great architectural construc- ton to have the hips pared off from the statues because the Scripture never said anywhere that there were female angels. 1t would seem that the limit of ecclesiastical hair splitting had about been reached.
 It is consoling to note that this sculp- tor behaved like an artist and a gen tleman and consented to doctor the simulacra of Gabriel and one other confessedly male angel. If he had been less sagacious, who knows but the Anglican Church of America might have been split for a generation by dis pute on this inc physiological and Seriptural point

bess P1att stiIl on Deck-vagaries of the sNew Eaueatien"-Bishop Pot
 ter en Some Wonen's Rights. A Delnfe1 eSa Serpent.

New York, Oct. 13.-fSpecial Corre- spondence. )-The higher the lid is lift ed on the insurance pot the more un- savory grows the odor of the broth. Equitable was bad enough in all con science before It's reformation, but it is plain now why President Paul Nor ton said all he wanted was to have the other companies scrutiniZed, ana why Thoma F. Ryan, when the iegis- lative Investigation was talked about. simply smiled and said nothing. The list of constructive crimes which a fortnights questioning has revealed shows pretty nearly every felony snort of arson and murder, and as many misdemeanors as adorn magistrate docket.
 And as for the money that was squeezed from the army of industri- ous policyholders, to buy fine houses and fast horses for the insiders, 10 'influence' legislators and carry elec- tions-besides the figures now revealed the shady transactions in the Equita- ble look like petty larceny In the light of the fact that McCurdy Of the Mutual Life, his son and his son-in- law together took four cold millions of the policyholders money In twenty years, George W. Perkins, of New York Life, and J. P. Morgan and Company, looks to be almost as self-denying young man as he says he Is.
 At first 1t was all very funny to the insurance maenates, but pride cer- tainly goeth before fall, and when John A. Mccall went up for his second days gruelling, he showed wear and tear very plainly. And no wonder. The comments of Mir. "Af' Adams, late of Sing Sing, on the situation would be hugely diverting and Illuminating, but Adams can't talk. of course. He is going in for high finance now, and there is honor even among high fi- nanciers But 1t must fill the Policy King with bitter resentment toward fate to find that just when he has reached it, the graft below the Fulton street dead line is knocked in the head Some people never do have any Iuck

Comfortable Shoes.

There's nothing more distractng than an uncomfortable shoe; and nothing more unnecessary
 The price of the shoe doesn't deter mine this question. It's more often the make. If you find the name Selz on. the sole of shoe, no matter what the price, you will know that the shoe is as good as can be made for the price asked.
 Good material, well put together and made to fit feet and to be comfortable; that describes Selz Royal Blue and Per- fecto shoes.
 Ask for Selz Royal Blue and Perfec. to the first time; you'll demand them the second time. The name is always on the sole; an unfaling sign of shoe quality.
