Warts.

As much as warts and corns may be
thought to resemble each other, they
are quite different in origin, character
and means of cure. A corn is simply q
thickening and hardening Of the scarf
skin, or epidermis. It is always caused
by pressure, and is removed only by the
removal Of the pressure. And we may
here state that, SO absolutely are they
thus removed, a protracted period Of
sickness will gradually lift them wholly
out of tie flesh.
A wart, on the contrary, belongs to
the skin, proper-the vea0 cutis-and
consists of an abnormal growth of one
or more papille, in which the nerves or
blood vessels terminate. For this rea-
son, while the substance of O corn is as
insensible as that of the fnger-nail, the
substance Of wart is peculiarly sensi-
tive beneath the scarf-skin which covers
the head of the papillae, and which these
carry with them as they push upward.
In most cases, Us the equalized action
OF the parts is restored they go off Of
themselves. They can be speedily re-
moved, however, by touching them re-
peatedly with nitrate of silver, or by ap-
plying nitric acid to their extrcmities.
Care should be taken not to touch the
adjacent skin.
Many superstitious notions prevail re-
speeding the cure of warts, among the
people. They have been handed down
from the remotest times, when supersti-
ton had more to do with medical meth
DDS generally than true science.
In the aged, when the cuticle is hard,
the epithetical cells, instead of develop
ing upward, develop downward into the
tissues, and give rise to painful tumors,
which the physician alone can eradicate.
Sometimes "moles tend to enlarge
and become painful. A little nitric acid
applied to them a few times will arrest
the tendency.-Youth's Companion.

It is strange that so few of our

There was once horse that was used
to pull around . sweep, which lifted dirt

at the business for nearly twenty years.

A Man Eating q Mad Dog.

Never was the ancient adage, "there
is no accounting for tastes" more
quantity illustrated than by surprising
story which reaches us from Neustadt.
in Bohemia. One Peschka, an inn
keeper of that town, was bitten some
weeks ago by his own house dog. I'm
willing to STAY the animal on bare sus-
picion of its sanity, he consigned it to
the town gravedigger, enjoining the
functionary to take care of it until fur
Their orders respecting it's ultimate fate
should be impaired to him. A few days
later, however, Peschka was attacked by
hydrophobia, of which horrible malady
he died in excruciating agony. The
sanitary authorities of Neustadt FORTH
with applied to the gravedigger for the
mad dog committed to his custody, in
tending to have it destroyed. Their as
constituent may be more readily i'm
agined than described when the sexton,
in answer to their requisition, calmly
observed:
"The mad dog? I have eaten him ="
"You have eaten the mad dog ?" in
credulously exclaimed q horror-stricken
sanitary official.
"Better that than he should eat me pr
rejoined the philosophical gravedigger.
It would appear not only that this man
of strange appetites had swallowed and
digested the rabid animal. but that it
had agreed with him, for, as the story
runs, he is still in the enjoyment of TO-
bust health, and pursues his professional
avocotion with unabated vigor.

Nigh Unto Death.

One day mother who had been to a
country house, near Marseilles, re-
turned with her son to Marseilles. It
was twilight. The child, 8 years old,
had been put into peach basket, borne
by o donkey, and the mother, fearing
the child might catch cold Gt wasin No
vember) had covered the boy with a
thick brown shawl. Tired with running
around the country all day, cozy and
warm under the thick shawl, the child
was soon asleep md hidden by the sides
of the basket. Although the city gates
were neared (there is a local custom
house at the gates Of Marseilles), the
mother, forgetting all about the child,
walked q distance behind the donkey
and did not make him stop at the Gus
tom house to be searched. The custom
officer seeing the donkey jog on without
stopping, suspected he was laden with
smuggled goods and ran after him to
thrust his sharp steel probe through the
basket. Luckily the mother observed
him, ran forward and screamed: "Don't
use your probe! Ny child is in that
basket! That child was Adolphe Theirs.

Manner and Manners.

The distinction between a womans
manner and her manners is thus bought
out by the Christian at Work.:
It has been well said that lady may
possess very excellent manners, and yet
have very unfortunate manner, and the
reverse.
To illustrate. There is girl who has
been carefully taught from her child
hood how to enter and leave q room
how to address and introduce people,
how to behave at the table and in COM
pany, yet, Notwithstanding continual
lessons in department., she has manner
which is not winning.
She is proud, or vain, or cold, or dis.
dainful, and this is shown by her man.
ner even when her manners are agree
able.
We often go into little store kept by
woman whom we desire to help by our
custom. But nearly always her air Of
supercilious Indifference, and her icy re-
moteness from tho least interest in us or
our purchases, sends us away half
frozen.
On the other hand, we know certain
saleswomen, in some Of the great stores
in New York, who are so sunny, so
genial and so delightful in their way of
serving us, that to buy from them is a
perfect pleasure, and they often persuade
us into taking what we really do not
want, solely by the charm Of their
sweet, unaffected grace.

Blowing Out q Kerosene Lamp.

A very common method of extinguish-
ing kerosene lamp is to turn down the
wick until only minute fame is visible.
and then blow down the chimney. This
is most dangerous practice, being very
frequently the cause Of explosions. Peo-
pie who use kerosene lamps should make
it an absolute rule never to attempt to
extingrlish lighted lamp that way, how
ever small the fame. Scientific reasons
might be given for such advice, but the
best reason that can possibly be given is
the fact that explosions frequently result
from a neglect of it. It is as easy to
blow into the lower end of the chimney
as the top, the only difference being that
in the former case the person blowing is
required to stoop little, while in the
latter the infection of the body is not
required.

To Cut an Orange.

A nice way to cut all orange, according
to st. Nicholas is to make two cuts
around it, just through the rind, locating
them as if the orange was the globe, the
stem and the blossom ends being the
poles and we were endeavoring to lay
off the tropic lines on either side of the
torrid zone. Now remove the rind from
the ends, leaving that portion of it rep.
resenting the torrid zone undisturbed.

How the Sunday Stone Was Made.

NV" oAS SNANny oNVAC W DO NAeANVs
In an Oxford museum may be seen a
strange stone. It is composed of car
honate of lime, and was taken from a
pipe which carries off drain water in q
colliery. The stone consists of alter
nate layers Of black and white, so that
it has striped appearance. This was
caused in the following way: When the
miners were at work, thewater which ran
through the pipe contained a good deal
of coal-dust, and so left black deposit
i'll the pipe. But, when no work was
going on-as, for instance, in the night
the water was clean, and so q white
layer was formed. In time these de-
posits quite filed the pipes, and it was
therefore taken up. Then it was found
that the black and white layers formed
quite calendar. Small streaks, alter
nately black and white, showed week,
and then came white streak of twice
the usual size. This was Sabbath, dur
ing which there was no work for twenty
four hours. But in the middle of one
week there came white streak of twice
the usual size. On inquiry it was
found that on that day large fair had
been held in the neighborhood, and no
work had been done ct the co1liery.
Every change in the ordinary course of
work had left its mark on this strange
stone, to which has been given the title
of "the Sunday stone"
