Hard corns are caused by too much
pressure of the shoe, or by It's being so
loose as to slide back and forth on the
spot where corn afterwards shows
itself. Medical books record several
cases where a hard corn has caused a
bleeding which no means could arrest,
and death ensued Nothing harder
than the finger nail ought ever to be
allowed to touch a corn, which can al
ways be cured or kept from causing in
convenience by simply bathing the
part in warm water for half an hour for
several days in succession often sin
gle bathing will accomplish the object
of so softening the parts adjacent the
actual corn that it can be picked out
with the finger nail, and the shoe can
be instantly worn without discomfort,
which an hour before gave pain; it may
return in a week, or a month or year,
but the same treatment will always
avail. Pairing them causes them
to spread and take deeper root.
Soft corns are very troublesome, but
are sometimes removed by patiently
bathing or soaking them in strong
alum water night and morning. 1t is
so much better to know a safe and in
expensive way of doing things, that it
is really worth while to teach these
methods to every child in the house
hold.-HQlrz Journal of Health.

The Indian COnfederacy-SOne inter-
esting Facts.

OF the various tribes which now form
the Indian COnfederaey, we give some
interesting particulars taken from re-
cent correspondence. Their country,
directly south of Kansas, is 2S2 miles
long, by 26S broad, and embraces So
600, 900 acres. The total population is
53, 900, of which the principal tribes
furnish the following quotas :-Chero-
KEGS, 10000; Creeks, IA, 800; Semi
noles, 2,160; Choctaws and Chickasaws;
$4,000. 1t is fact worthy of consider
alton that the population OF these
tribes has been steadily on the decrease
In the last two decades, although under
the influence of considerable
degree of civilization. In some tribes
the women are in great excess. Among
all are many negroes. With these the
Cherokees will not amalgamate, though
the Creeks do. The most of them have
good schools, and many belong to the
Baptist and Presbyterian churches.-
They oppose the two railroads which
are to pass through their Territory, sus-
pecting they may thereby be robbed of
their lands. The roads, however, are
going forward, as everything under
taken by the white man will in spite of
the Indian. Taken all il all, these
tribes are quiet, law abiding people,
seeming to have lost almost entirely
their bloody instincts. A mans life is
much safer than III some parts of our
large cities after nightfaR.

A Woman of Energy and Presence OF
Mind,
From the Geneva Courier


On Monday Of this week a servant in
the family of Dr. D. W. Hallenbeck, of
this village, was filling a lamp with a
patent burning fluid, when by seme
means she split some of the fluid on the
table. She wiped it up with a piece of
paper, and then went to the stove with
the open lamp in one hand and the
paper in the other. She threw the pa
per in the stove, but it blazed up so
quickly that she stepped back frighten-
ed, and in doing so dropped the lamp
on the floor, the contents running ont
or the carpet. The burning
paper also fell from the stove
on the floor, and in an instant large
flame arose The servant was so fright
ened as to lose her self-possession, and
so Mrs. Hallenbeck came to the rescue.
first taking the can and the lamp from
the room, and then tearing up the car
pet and throwing it out of the window.
BY the time this was accomplished
Mrs. Hallenbeck's s clothes were on fire,
and she had to direct her efforts to her
own preservation. She soon eXtin-
gushed the flames, which threatened
speedily to envelop her, and escaped
with no more serious injury than a Sc
we're burning of her hand and arm
Mrs. II. displayed rare energy and
presence of mind, and doubtless saved
the dwelling from destruction.

What Becomes of the Coin.
From the Christian Union.

In the reign of Darius gold was thir
weight, than silver. In the time of
Plato it was twelve times as valuable
In that of julius Caesar gold was only
nine times more valuable, owing, per-
haps, TO the enormous quantities of
gold seized by him in his wars 1t is
"A natural question to ask, what become
of the gold and silver? A paper read
before the Polytechnic Association by
DIR. Stephens, recently, is calculated to
meet this inquiry. He says, of our
annual gold product, full fifteen per
cent Is melted down for manufacture;
thlrty-tive per cent goes to Europe; !;
twenty-five per cent to Cuba; fifteen
per cent to Brazil; five per cent direct
to Japan, China and the Indies; leaving
but five per cent for circulation in this
country. OF that which goes to Cuba,
the West Indies, Brazil, fully fifty per
cent finds Its way to Europe, where,
after deducting a large percentage used
III manufacturing, four -ffths of the
remainder is exported to India. Here
the transit of the precious metal is at
an end. Here the supply, however
vast, is absorbed, and never returns to
the civilized world.
The Orientals consume but little,
while their productions have ever been
in demand among the Western nations.
AS mere recipients, therefore, these ma
tions have acquired the desire of accum-
ulation and boarding, a passion com
mon alike to all classes among the
Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, and Per-
slams. A French economist states that
in his opinion the former nation hide
away $50, 900, 900 of gold and silver an
nually, and the present Emperor of
Morocco is reported as so addicted to
this avaricious mania that he has filed
seventeen large chambers with the
precious metals. The passion of prime
es, it is not surprising that the same
spirit is shared by their subjects, and
it is in this prediction that we dis
cover the solution of the problem as to
the ultimate disposition Of the precious
metals. The absorption by the Eastern
nations has been uninterruptelly going
on since the most remote historical pc
ROD. According to Pliny, as much as
500, 900 in gold was, in his day, annu-
ally exported to the East The balance
of trade in favor of these nations is
now given as $50, 200, 900.

AS the railways no longer suffice for
the transport of the enormous req quire-
ments in munitions, clothes and pro-
visions of six hundred and fifty thous-
and German troops at present on French
soil, long trains of wagons have again
begun to traverse the roads. Trains of
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
two-horse wagons repeatedly pass
through Cologne, bringing oats direct
from Dresden and Nancy to the troops
before Paris. From Dresden to Nancy
takes for such wagons four and half
weeks, and from Cologne to Versailles
fourteen days, SO that about seven
weeks elapse before the transport
reaches it's destination. One may i'm
agine the enormous expense of such
transport.

The voice Of long ago.
That hollow. voioeful spirit tone,
An instant heard, then vanished, gone,

Flash bright and fast!
Some vivid scene of long ago,
OF hfe's first fires, or loves first glow,
Buried for years

Wakes, at the tone, again to light,
And re-appears.
The form. the words OF some loved one
Once by my side, now parted, gone
To the realms unseen;

By weary leagues of land and tide =
And years between.

But heart to heart, and face to face

The New Motive Power.

The complete success of tn machin
cry employed to drill the Mont Gems
Tunnel has strongly attracted the at
tention of engineers and mechanics to
the subject of compressed air engines
and already it Is proposed in this
country to try the experiment of adopt
ing it on large scale. The Ment Gents
machine for cutting and boring the rock,
was mounted on car wheels, and, as
the work progressed, was moved along
the railway track laid in the bottom OF
the tunnel. The power which operated
it was supplied in the form of com
pressed air, which was sent in through
long tubes The water power of a
mountain stream outside the tunnel
worked the powerful air pumps by
which the air was compressed, and, this
being carried in pipes to the boring
machine far inside the tunnel, at once
set that machine in motion ard sap
piled fresh, pure atmosphere for the
wor',men. In precisely the same way
it j. proposed to utilize the wasted
water power in many large American
towns. Take, as an example, the city
of Rochester, New York, whose water
power is abundant and constant in all
seasons. There it is proposed to erect
water wheels which will run night and
day throughout the year, forcing the
air into a large loaded magazine
like a gasometer. From this a
system of strong underground pipes are
to be laid to the various manufactures
throughout the city where steam is now
used The first cost of the apparatus
would be, of course, considerable, but,
once erected, power could be furnished
to almost any extent at no higher ex-
pense than that required to keep the
water wheels and pumps in order In
prlncople, the plan is similar to that of
our own water works, in which one en-
gine pumps water for the houses and
workshops of the entire city, and it is
altficnlt to see any good reason why it
should not be equally successful A
writer in the New York Post asserts
that the experiment is certain to be
tried in the spring at Rochester, and if
that should prove successful an attempt
Will be made to harness the enormous
water power of Niagara for the benefit
of Buffalo. Should the plan succeed
it will have an important effect on the
value of mill sites. Manufactures
could be built upon much more cheap
and convenient sites than is now
possible when all establishments which
use water power must be built upon the
bank Of the stream which supplies it,
no matter what may be the cost of such
location. The other advantages to
be gained by the new system are
many and impOrtant What is known
as one "horse power" costing, in the
form of steam, $3.50 per annum, will
then be furnished at an average ex-
pense of S12 year, the damage of sud
den and disastrous explosions viii be
forever ended, the machinery of manu-
factories greatly simplifed, and the
heat, smoke and noise incident to steam
machinery, avoided. With the success
of the Mont Cenis machine as a basis,
there is certainly enough plausibility
in the new plan to command wide in
terest in the result of the experiment at
Rochester
