from distortion. Corns are of four
kinds, viz clavus (bunion), callus,

lus may be sOftened By moisture, as by
soaking in warm water; by the appli-
cation ofa starch or soap poultice; and
being softened, the tlickened cuticle
may be thinneI by scraping with a
blunt knife. When the thickening has

least painful or blurred, or indistinct.
,. Never read in horse or steam cars.

ic and inorganic substances, lime cor
sists OF the oxide OF the metallic ele-
ment calcium; and, as il enters into
the composition Of all plants, it necess-
ariiy occupies large place in Natures

find that it has an affinity for water
and carbonic acid; when applied TO
the land, as a natural result. il absOrbs
the water, the two elements coming
ling and forming 4 third, which we
call hydrate of lime; again, this hy-
drate OF lime absorbs CarbOnic acid, so
that lime, although applied TO The land

Long years have elapsed since lime wSs

matter contained in the soil, promoting

The New Wall Papers.

Nearly all the newest papers are lmlta-
tions of woven or embroidered stuIfs, and
in some the grounds are so skilfully
manipulated, and the patterns so well
drawn and shaded that it is hard to believe
that they are not the work of the loom and
the needle. The most gorgeous OF all
seems to be cloth of gold wrought with
sunhowers and their leaves IN sapphire
blue, producing an effect gorgeous enough
to warrant one in hanging up bit of the
paper, as one would a japanese fan, for
the sake Of its coloring. Walls covered
with anything as brilliant as this tolerate
no furniture less splendid in effect, but re-
quire rich, heavy brOcatelies and masses Of
dark carved wood, and window hangings
bright Of hue and stiff with embroidery.
Moreover this brilliant gold background
kills the color Of every blonde who comes
near il, and makes her look like faded
daguerreOtype, SO that only brunette house
wives are likely to admire the paper. Less
magnificent, but very pretty and better for
general use, is the poppy pattern ON back
ground of blue and silver; and several COM
binations of gold and silver, olive and blue,
present effects that would be coed both by
natural and artificial light. Some papers
have ground that looks like faded pink
silk, almost covered by q Towering vine in
dull colors. Another resembles olive raw
silk. with a garnet brocaded pattern out
lined in gold thread, and gold grounds
almost covered with floral design, are in
Vulnerable in variety. The tapestry papers
are in olives and blue grays, and their pat
tern is almost invariably fruit and foliage.
The japanese patterns represent stuffs in
which the fans, hand screens and vases are
mingled with purpose that does not re-
veal itself to the eye of the casual observer,
but which produces perfect harmony, and
they may be bought both in light and dark
colors. The most beautiful frieZes are
those that accord with the pattern Of the
paper. as. for instance, those which accom-
pany the japanese designs, and which rep
resent japanese plaques and vases. In one
style these objects are depicted in garnet
and several shades of slate blues, and in
another in silver, pale blue and vermiliOn,
the former matching the darker and the
latter the light paper. In another style Of
frieZe one sees a Greek sacrifcial process
sion depicted in fresco cOlors on buff
ground. and a third is Egyptian in style.
Dadoes are less used than formerly, be-
cause SO many new houses are built with
wooden dadoes that il is not necessary TO
initiate them with paper.

PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPLEs,-N.J JAMS
sen recently submitted to the French
Academy i communication on the par
tial eclipse Of the sun of July IS last,
which he observed at Marscillci. II Is
well known that the observation Of
partial solar eciipses has for long time
been considered Of little astronomical
interest. The principal draw back la.
been the difficulty Of taking exact mi
cromciic measures Of the sun, and deter
mining the precise moment ofthe con-
facts. u. Jansen shows that this diff
iicu,ly has disappeared before the new
methods of celestial photography. Par
tiaI eclipscs can now be studied 10 adj
vantage both by spectrum analysis and
photography. VI. Jansen alse shows
how photography can lie used. 1t is
known that photographs will show the
granUlatiols or rice markings OH the
suns surface. Where 4 large phoio-
graph Of q partial eclipse is taken,
should extend To the very edge OF the
moon. provided the latter IS absolutely
without an atmosphere, II the moon

partial cclipes will also enable astrOGo-
mers to measure the heights OF noun
tlins situated or the limb of the satcl-
lite.

RAw-HIDE HORSE SHoEs.-A method
Of shOeinC horses with raw hide has
long been I'm use on the plains, and
found so serviceable and convenient
that it might doubtless be found useful
in many places where there are long
periods of hot weather. There are al
50 cases frequently occurring in which
diseases of the feet might be a!leviated
by tie temporary use OF shoes cut
from raw-hide or properly prepared
sole leather. With these, that portion
of the foot which reeds the most pre-
caution, viz, the crust or walls OF the
hoof where it meets the sole, will be
preserved from contact with hard or
rough surfaces; while the frog, gener-
ally too much protected, will reach the
ground and become subjected to health
ful action. For warm work, upon
smooth Soils, free from stones and gra-
vel, this kind of shoe will be useful
during the summer season. a simple
strip of Taw-hide or sole-leather, well
nlled with hot pine tar to make it hard
and waterproof, will be sufficient for
general use. 4 more durable shoe may
be made of two or more thickues ses,
fastened together by copper rivets,
