COrns.

Hard corns arc caused by too much
pressure of the, shoe or its. being so
loose as to slide back and forth on the
spot where the corn aftcrward shows
itself. Medical books record several
cases where pairing a, hard corn has
caused a bleeding, which no known
means could arrest, and death cnsucd.
Nothing harder than the finger nail
ought ever to be allowed to touch a
corn, which can always be cured, or
kept from causing Inconvenience, by
simply bathing the part in warm wa
ter for half an hour in succession of
ten single bathing will accomplish
the object of so softcning the parts
adjacent to the actual corn that it can
be picked out with the finger nail, and
the shoe can be instantly worn with
out discomfort, which an hour before
gave great pain; it may return in a
week, or a month, or a year, but the
same treatment will always avail.
PAIRING causes them to spread and to
take deeper root. u.Cf,si'i
Another plan is to take two or three
thicknesses of buckssin, and cut a
hole in the centre, and bind it on the
toe in such a way as to make the corn
fill up the hole, this relieves the corn
from pressure, and in few days, cs-
pecially i'm warm weather, the kernel
will drop out of itself.
Soft cOrns are very troublesome,
but are sometimes removed by pa
ticntly bathing them in strong alum
water night and morning. s'r
1t is so much better TO know safe
and inexpensive way of doing things,
that It is really worth while to teach
these methods to every child in the
household.

Teeth Set with Diamonds.

To what extremes and fOllics the
god of fashion can lcadits devOtces is
shown by the following, clipped from
the New York Sun: % gti ~
"a brilliant fashion which has just
been invented in this progressive city,
bids fair to outshine Paris in its lustrc
and extravaganza. Recently an up
town gentleman Of wealth and fash
ion conceived the dazzling idea of
having his front teeth set with dia-
monds. lie conferred oil the subject
with two of his friends, one of whom
is lady of literary celebrity, and all
were so well pleased with the spark
ling novelty that they have large and
sparkling novelty that they had large
and sparkling first water diamonds
SIT into their front teeth, and Oh Sun
DAY afternoon they attended one OF
our most fashionable churches OIL
Fifth avenue, attracting considerable
attention, and diycrting the attention
of large number of the congregation
from their dcvOtiOus, by the lustrOus
rays of their teeth. On their return
home they were followed by a multi
tudc whose curiosity had been cxcit-
cd by the dazzling radiance . of the
brilliant circle. Should this fashion
be adopted jewellers, lapidarics, and
dentists will reap rich harvest, and
it will tend to promote good nature
and cleanliness, as the queen OF fash
ion, especially those who are thus
fixed, will be continually brushing
their teeth and smiling, if for, no
other purpose than to show their dia-
monds. Oh!ye gods and little fishes,
will it not he cure, for sore eyes and
empty pockets to sit in front OF such
an audience at church, theater, OF
opera, and gaze, with. delight upon
the smiling circle, and estimate the
cut, color, weight and value of their
sparkling gcms?

A" Veterinarian writes to the Chica-
60 Tribune as follows In answer to q
question rs TO the cause Of swcllings and
collar boils on. horses -. The swcllings
and collar boils you complain or are not
caused by feeding salt and ashes, though
the latter seem 10 me TO be uSeicss. These
Ewcllings occur more frequently In
spring time and especially then, when
the horse either is rapidly Improving or
falling of in flesh, thus rendering the
collar either too narrow or too wide.
Have the collar always well fitted to the
horses neck, keep your harness clean and
smooth, and take care that the traces or
tugs are exactly the same length, and
you will have no cause to complain. As
long rs the skin on these swolllngs is not
sore, you may ilse cold lamentations.
As soon, however. as the same getsisore
and the cpidcrmis taken of, you soon
effect q cure by applying, three times .
day or when the horse has to work
each time the harness is pution or taker
Of, ON the sore places, a mixture OF pnrt
olive oil and lime water, equal paris" :.

Why Wood Is Painted.

Whc water is applied to the smooth
surface of timber, thin layer of wood
will be raised above its natural posi-
ton by the expansion of swelling of
the particles near the serfacc. In col
loquial phrase, workman say that
when water is applied to smooth
board. the grain of the timber wili.bc
raised. Every successive wctting
will raise the grain more and more !,
and the water will dissolve and wasjl
away the soluble portions with whic b
it comes i'm contact. AS the surfa &c
dries, the grain of the timber at the
surface, having been reduced in t,ulk
must necessarily shrink to such ar, OK
tent as to produce cracks. Now, if a
piece of oiltloth be pasted over the
surface, the timber will be kept quito
dry. Consequently, the grain, of the
wood will not be subjected to the al
tcrnatc influences of wet aid heat.
AS it is not practible to apply OilclOth
ready made, a liquid, or seIni-liquid is
employed for covering the surface,
which will adhere firmly, anil serve
the purpose of oilcloth in excluding
water that would OtlicrM Use enter, to
fhc injury of the york. Metallic sub
stances are painted to prevent oxida-
ton or rusting of the surfaces which
may be exposed to mOistur. 90

10 Crystallze Plants.

4 We copy the following recipe from
the New York Tribune" Pulverize
a pound of the best white alum, and
dissolve it over . slow fire i'm quart
of pure soft water. Do not let it boil
and be careful to keep everything out
of the solution that would possibly
stain 1t, for the beauty of the grasses
depends on the pure whiteness Of the
CRYSTALS. A new earthen bowl is the
best dish fer the purpose; when the
alum is oil dissolved, let the solution
cool down to blood heat meanwhile
arrange your grasses in the bowl and
pour the solution over them, cover up
and set aside for - hours. Then take
them out carefully, dry them III the
sun for four or five hours, and put
them in the vase prepared for them.
aft you form the grasses, ETC., into
a bouquet before crystalizing them,
procure q glazed carthen jar, suspend
the bouquet from a stick laid across
the top of the jar, take care that the
tops of the grasses are not bent or
doubled over, and then pour on the
solution, proceeding as above directed.
What remains of the alum-water may
be reheated, tinged blue, or purple, or
scarlet, by a few drops of dye, and
used as before"

The following information has been
received in New York, from private
parties, who have just returned from
Cuba:
OF tho thirty Masons VINO were
lately imprisoned in the Moro Castle
i'm Havana, charged with having held
secret Masonic meetings, twenty were
admitted to bail on the I'D of June.
Those that were released were Span
iards. and their bail was given by
Standards The other ten Masons
still incarccrated arc Cubans, and
now lie in the noisome dungeons OF
the Carcel de 10 Habana, the most no.
ted jail in Cuba. u s .sf - - i...rr
A short time ago one of the ten,
whose name for his own sake we can
not publish, was taken from the Car
eel and whipped and scourged with
sticks to obligc him to tell what he
knew about the revolution. But he,
like a man rs well as Mason, refused
to do SO. He was then put on bread
and water ind enclosed in dark cell,
receiving nothing but bread and wa
ter. suffering as the victims Of the
Spanish In0uisition used to suffer I'm
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
No moncy or influence could buy his
infamous jailers; to provide him any
relief from his torture, and when ut
last he became sufficiently cmaciated,
they again brought him forth. This
time they whipped him with Q lash
two yards long, and whipstock two
feet eight inches long, the man to
whom the cruc. Office was delegated
standing some four feet from his vic
tim while administering the cruel
blows. The punishment for his OBJ
duracy, or manliness, was done in
private, and he alone can or dare tell
the story. 1Y/EIf9
After he had been beaten some fif-
teen or twenty minutes, when again
asked to tell, he replied, 81 would
sooner be dead than speak of what my
brothers have told me, or what may
have heard at our meetings, for it was
done under an oath that no true Ma
son can disregard while living" His
heroism, however, did not prevent
his again being incarcerated, and he
and the other nine Cuban Masons now
lie in the infamous Carcel de Ia Ha-
baua. They have written several
communications to the "MasOns of
the World" but the letters have all
been intercepted, and the prisoners
are now hopeless.

Copper tea kettles, boilers and other
household articles having polished sur

The ZOuavcs- Organization and
Style Of Fighting.

France possesses several special or
extra corps entirely distinct from the
regular army, the national guard, or
marines, One of them, and perhaps
the most peculiar and eccentric, are
the Zouavcs. There are two kinds of
Zouaves - the African or original
Zouaves, who i'm time of peace are al
ways stationed in Africa, and whose
strength is about Il, 600 men, and the
Zouaves Imites or Imitation Zouavcs,
who arc armed, equipped, and drilled
like the original corps, but do not
possess the same perfection i'm maneu-
vering, sc. These latter are only
stationed a part of the time in Africa ;
the greater part are stationed in va
rious parts of France. In their ar
mament the Zouaves differ materially
from the regular infantry, particularly
in their bayOncts, which have the
shape of scythes, and their side-arm,
which is the Algerian yatahan-that
is, TIE peculiar shOrt-sword of fhe
Kabyles. Also in so far that they
prefer to use their own private revolt
vers. No one can become Zouave
who is not born Frcnchman, and :
very large number of them are recruit
ed amongst the Paris loafers and ga
Minis. Their drilling comprises, be-
sides the usual military evolutions,
more particularly also gymnastics,
and no one can serve amongst them
for any length of time who is not an
accomplished and perfect swimmer,
Jumper and climber. Their style of
fighting differs accordingly from that
of the. regular infantry. They make
no bayonct attacks in closed lines, but
sprcad about so as to have more room
for striking about with their bayonct,
and they enter the enemy's lines Oh
the full run with large bounds.
One of their ccccntricities is their
love for cats, and they prefer as pets
the large gray and black cat of Alge-
ria. The training of these cats is adj
mirablc. They know not only all the
soldiers, but their four-footcd conf
rades belonging to the same battal-
ion, and easily pick oil their masters
under all circumstances. They are
very obedient to them, and, not only
on the march but also i'm battle, take
up their positions Oh their knapsacks
FROM which position they particle
pate in the fight according to their
own peculiar style, by jumping into
the face of the enemy and scratching
and biting in a furious manner. Da-
ring the Crimean war the wounds in
the faces of the Russian soldiers from
these cats were so serious and numer.
Gus that they had to establish at Odes-
sa separate ward in the hospital for
the better healing of them.
In climbing up and attacking 9
rocky hight the Zouaves command
their cats to the front to lead the way.
and carefully watching the way the
cats take they follow them closely
and take advantage of every foothold
pointed out by their trusty and agile
comrades.-N. y. World.
