CuRE FOR NArLs GRowIse Isro fHi
FIEsH.-Au eminent French physician
has published an account OF The eff.
cheney Of the susquichlOfide Of iron for
curing the growth Of toe nails into the
flesh. and as Il is Of impottssss. o
both the soldier aud ttie citizen. we
give the result Of an experiment BY an
army surgeon. He says:
/ may here remark that ulcers about
the nails are occasionally observed
among our soldiers. having escaped the
attention OF the medical boards. or be-
ing caused by the pressure of the boot
during forced marches. Under these
circumstances prompt and painless
cure may be effected by inserting the
dry sesquichloride between the nail and
the protruding hesh, and powdering
the latter with the same substance. A
large bandage should be applied over
all. not impregnated with the LIQUID
sesquichloride of iron; a precaution
which may. however, be useful, as the
folds of the band dry rapidly, and pre-
serve their situation in a more exact
manner. On the following day the ex-
uberant flesh is found to have acquired
the hardness Of wood; suppuration
speedily ceases. and cure follows af-
ter two or three applications. This
simple and mild treatment Is obviously
far preferable to the numerous surgical
procedures hitherto recommended. In
the course Of four or FIVE days, or In
week at the farthest, the original pain
ceases, the swelling subsidies, and the
patient is able to walk. Naught re-
mains but the hardened protrudiug
flesh, which falls away about a month
after the application of the sesquichlo-
ride Of iron.

WEAKNESS OF YOUNG LADIEs.-One
Of the prevalent weaknesses of the
gentle sex, is a passion for military
clothes. An epsulette. sash and sword
can throw almost any young woman
into paroxysm Of delight and admira-

whatever to the character and quality
Of the person who may wear the be-
witching insignia OF manly valor and
glorious war. Out Of this in6rmity Of

Gently arose in Germany. A wealthy
bakers daughter fell in love with a
young Lieutenant in the army, and she
promised her hand il papa would con-
sent. That consent was given on con-
dition that the soldier would resign his
commission and settle down 10 the
baking business. The condition was
accepted, and the dsshing young officer
forthwith gave up his commission and
assumed the garb Of civilian. The
girl, however, Immediately grew cold
him. and refused TO fulfill her
vow. She had loved the officer, and
not the man. The young soldier then
sued t&e parents for damages for the
breach Of contract, and the court com

A young man admires pretty girl,

doing so for the life of him. The
young lady has tender heart reaching
out like vine tendrils foi something TO

flattered; begins TO love; expects some
tender avowal; and perhaps, gets so far
as. to decide that she will choose ga

the very moment the gallant she loves

damsel ten miles off. Now, the diff
Guilty lies in not precisely understanding
the difference between polite attentions
and the tender manifestations Of love.
Admiring a beautiful girl, and wish
ing to "make wife of her," are not
always the same thing; and therefore
it is necessary for the damsel to always
be on the alert to discover to which
class the attention paid her by hand.
