He had nipped a coat that bung outside the store and was just tucking it under his coat, when one of the clerks who had been watching the operation collared him. The two grappled, and Carter- son was thrown down. He showed fight, however, and but for the timely appearance of Oficer Kelly and Captain Clough he would have = goiten the better of the clerk or have gotten away en tirely.

When the act was signod all contracts with agents were made void by its terms, The holders of olaims were then free to make | such bargains with their ajgnts as they pleased, or could refuso to make any bargain atall The framers of the act found it necessary totake this step for the protectiou of tho claimants, Atthe time when there scemed littlo that such an act would be vassed hundreds of claimants Lad coutracted with ageits to pay outrageous fees in case | the money could bo collected, Cases are known in which the claimants had contracied | to give unto the ents over one-half the | amount collected. (ases in which ol third was promised wero not at all uncommon. ‘T'o allow these contracts to stand would make the law not an act of justice, but un act of extortion for the benefit of the claim ugents. The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferent, und limiting the pércentuge to o charged by agents o 15 per_cent, wi b an extra 5 p cent allowanco for spocial cases. ‘The ugents naturally objected to this, usses that it wus bevond the porvers of congress, but the bestopinion of both houses was that coutracts mado to collect vlaims under a law that did not exist could bo anuulled i this mantor On tho 4th of March, therofore, the claim ants who had sigued Contracts were s free from obligations to agents as those who had not.

Irom com- plaiuts that have come to it, however, it ap- pears that many of the elairaants do not uu- derstand their position under the act. At & time when there appoarcd to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter 1o one-haif the amount to the agent in case the money should bo collected. In view of this extortion con- gross inserted a provision in the act annul- ling all contracts and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 20 per cent, “The claimants all probably understand that theagent's commission has beeu limited by tho law, but many of them, according to thei own statements, do not understand that th are freo to do as they please about tho agent they had first chosen. siger that they are still bouna to employ tho agent with whom they signed the exorbitant coutracts, whother they are satisfied with him or not. 1t was the incontion of congress to protect them at all points and they were left on the passage of the act free to do as they pleased and employ whom they pleased.

One hears much of the characteristic features of the hand. Poems have been written to protty feminine hands; es- says nave descanted on the opinion as to the nature and talent (or the reverse) which could be confidently formed by one familiar with the reading of what such and such a finger-tip or such and such a plam might mean. But what of the foot? Studied with a little 1n- sight it has just as much charactor means as much to the ovservers ot hu- man - nature. One dreawback, of course. that the hand is bound to offer itsolf undisguised to tho notice whereas our present mode of shosing a foot makes it a matter of difficulty to discover precisely what the outlines of it are, save in a gonoral way. All the samoe there are certain details that are tent 1o the view of any close observer, Taking all things into consideration, the American foot, a1¢ her male or female, perhaps tho most satisfa tory. It isnot as handsome as the Spanish foot, nor as that of certain Italian boggars who danee the Tarantella, for fow copppers, on the sands near Naplos, It is ot in any sonse a clussic foot, while these bare, brown feet one may see amony [talian and Spanish women of the peasant elass often ave. It is the wodern foot, however, in its best pression. For the foot of man and woman has changed since historie times in adegree of which ono cannot find a parellel in the hand, or in any other part of the body. Of course, if one glanceat an antigue statute, of which the foot well preserved, one 18’ imme diately struck with a genoral symmetr in the member that our civilized foot- goar hus deformed out of all cognizance The other point of diffarence pitched upon is the separation of the big toe from the other four smaller toes. But these more obvious differences are noth- ing in comparison with the subtle dif- ferentintion in gencral character and expression which has taken place in the foot of the ave human being since those days. Tho foot has grown less nobic of mould and look. It is reason- able to hold that the antique foot was trodden upon with more aignity than the modern foot. Life was move leisurely and costumes were of a sort unconsciously infusing a stateliness and harmony into the movements, This stateliness of guit, with the llowing grace of the whole motion, we still may study in all savage people, and never more so than in- somo of the better specimens of our own Indians. Now, the habitual mode of walking influences the shape of the feot unfaitingly: if not always in one gen ation, then certain by inheritance, in two or three. Life is no longer leis urcly, and one’s customs ave no longe classie. In the modern rush we do not mind how we walkk to a certain destina- tion, provided we ‘“get there.” Cen- turies of clumsy and grotesque shoeing, running through every device of absuvd- ity. have further tended to eramp the beautiful muscular freedom of the pris- tine foot, to atrophy its elasticity and springiness, to deaden atl its articulate- ness. The modern foot is often a mere pudge of flesh or n bony deformity, out of drawing in ev part. Our idea!, now, for the femi > foot is that it should be small d that it should have a high instep. The first part of the desideratum is also quite out of the ovder of the antique standard, since there the size, relatively to the propor- tions of the whole hody. is what we now, erroneously, should call large. A well formed frame, carvied along nobly in a havrmonious walk, must rest on a foot of finer proportions than we now choose to find fitting for fair women, As to the high instep, undoubtedly it is needful for beauty but not more so than one or two other fea- turnes not usually thought so important, As to the “nobility” of the foot, it rests {after making mention of that elasticity, that symmetrical “aliveness” of each toe, of each muscle) upon the lengtn of the toes relatively to the whole foot and upon the curve of the outer side of the sole. There never was a really pretty foot, in the classic sense, that had short toes, and there was nevor a foot that fully sutistied the sense of beauty but was arched on the other side. The inner avehis far more common. It exists frequently when_the outer side is as flat as a negro’s, and in such case it is powerless to give distinction to the foot. . With the outer side flat there is a suggestion of vulgarity or plebeinn heaviness and flabbiness. And this is the most ordinary defeet of the modern fool. such a foot, next to the beautiful antiaue foot, looks of the earth, earthy. The other isas winged in its appear- ance of lightness and readiness as a messenger of the gods. And often this other flatness is largely in- creased by vicious habits of walking. Almost every man, womun und child wears the shoes off at tne outer rvim of the sole and heel. A representative In- dian would not so wear down his moe- casin. And this because the swift, smooth way of stepping, common to sav- ages, presupposes the foot being set upon the ground very straightly, the toes scarcely turned out and the main weight coming upon the ball instead of the heel. Alus, this manner of step- ping has hecome almost lost to civiliza- tion. We allymore or less, step on the outside of the foot, consequently wo run it over as we runover overour boot soles, and our children and children’s children inherit that thick. flat, inert outer contour instead of the gentle, del- icate arch that natu e intended. An- other thing which tends to the flatten- ing process is an incorrect pose instand- ing. Perhaps to have any occupation that compels you to stand « great deal is, in itsell, an almost inevitable detriment to the foot from this point of view., With the sagging of the muscles from fatigue, the weight of the body sinks more and more on the outer part of the sole. Among other evils this brings on an enlargement of the ankle bone also and a general thickening of the ankle But much of this could he obviated by culti- vating determinedly a hubit of standing with the weight on’the inner part of the ball of the foot, which effect couldso al be maintained in walking, The attempt might be awkward at first, but tha would soon be overcome. In w wish to have handsome feet w must modify the slovenliness of our i ent guit'and of the hibitual poses of our heels and toes and unkles. Certain good would come to our descendunts nud we done so; and if we only began ourly enough in life to touch our fect lightly and straightly to the ground, instead of digging our heels into the dust, much better pedal contours would be ours on reaching maturtty, Nextin importance is, of course, the mutter of shaussure. And here, if you value the shape of yonr foot (and of all beautiful things made by nature none is more lovely than a lovely foot), there is no escaping the necessity of wearing only shoes that have been made to orderand upon strict measyre- ment, The individuality of euch foot must bo considered; to fuil to do o is to 80 shoe the foot that every good point may chance to bo lost and every bad one penhaps permanently accented, Thero {5 an enormous fleld” open to the shoc maker who shall learn to properly dress feminine feet so as truly to better them Dressmakers have learned how o ‘muke” a figure.
