ABOUT CoRSs.-Soft corns are cured
by warm water bathings and buckskin
protectors, and no parings arc necessary.
Hard corns Oh top Of the toes, at the
joints, can almost always be removed is
two or three days by simply soaking the
feet in warm water for about twenty min
utes, night and morning, rubbing the
corn with the end of the finger while un-
der water. This hastens the softening,
and in a day or two the kernel can be
picked out with the finger nail. If the
corn be shaved off the roots deepen (; be-
sides, troublesome bleedings sometimes
follow, which in several cases have ended
fatally. A bit Of cotton saturated with
oil and bound upon the corn over night,
acilltates the soltening.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have
won a worldwide reputation, and in the art
centers of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-
fection ever attained. The common prejudice
in favor of steel plates is rapidly yieldingto
more educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of production
The wood-cuts of THE ALDIN l. possess all
tho delicacy and elaborate finish of the most
costly stcel-pate, while they afford better
rendering of the artists original.
