COrns.

Corns consist of layers of thickeucd
epidermis the transparent coating that
protects the sentitive true skin beneath.
This epidermis is in constant process of
formation from the true skin, and is as
constantly being thrown off in minute
particles.
1t as destitute of feeling as the nails,
indeed the nails-as also the scales on
the legs of fowls and on the bodies of
fishes-are only modified epidermis.
COrns are among the excresences" I"
of civilization. A higher civilization,
however, which shall conform the shoe
to the foot, instead of the foot to the
shoe, will know of them only as we
know of the crushed feet of Chinese
women.
A thickening of the epidermis having
been caused at the points of special
pressure, this inhames still further the
skin beneath, giving rise to successive
layers of thickened epidermis, which
cannot be thrown oil like ordinary scarf
skin.
Between the vital force beneath, and
the pressure of the shoe above, the cen
trail portion comes to have the hardness
of nail. If splinter is left in the fin
ger, the flesh above and around it will
die, and new skin be formed below,
which will in time lift the splinter out.
But in the case of corns, natures efforts
are twarthed by the persistent pressure
from above, which constantly enlarges
the corn from below.
The first step toward relief is to Sc
cure shoe anat0micaHy correct in con
structi0n. Meanwhile lemove the pres
sure from the corn in whatever way
may be possible.
A pointed knife run down carefully
between the layers will easily take out
for the time-the central core. Some
times it can be picked out with the nail,
after soaking the feet three successive
nights in warm water. The soaking
swells the core and, like posts lifted by
the frost, it.seldoms returns fully to its
place. But as the cores always fill up
again, the only permanent remedy is the
removal of the cause.

The Late Editor OF the London Times.

John T. Delane, was for thirty-six years
the chief editor of the London Times,
which he found great newspaper, and
made the greatest journal in England.
Up to his day, the Times had been great
in its news. Some of its "beats" during
the Napoleonic contests have never been
surpassed, and its fearless publication
of facts touching high personages led
to one or two of the greatest libel suits
in the history of English journalism.
Mr.. Delane, the nephew Of the previous
financial manager of the paper, became
in 1S41 its chief editor at "a years of
age, and he made the paper great in
two new particulars, with extraordinary
success for twenty years and more; it
reflected the sentiment OF the English
ruling class, and it was served by body
of men altogether superior in ability
and character to any. previously EN-
ployed on English papers. Delane
showed signal ability in choosing his
agents, and an almost cynical contempt
in the management of the paper for
consistency. The paper first went hope
lessly wrong under him in its treatment
of the United States from 1861 on, and
he had rough tumble in newspaper
war with Richard Golden only a few
years later which sadly damaged Delane
in popular estimation. The anonymous
secrecy of English journalism always
left in the dark Delane's real work in
making the Times what it was, but
he has generally had the credit Of being
the great master mind Of the enterprise.

An Arkansas Cyclone.

This is the way in which one was de
scrihed by man who was in il:
81 was about 200 yards from my
house when saw it coming. II was In
the prairie when / saw it, and looked
like black smoke from large furnace.
Its shape was like q funnel, inside it
was red as fire, and around this was the
black foggy mist. In looking at it I
saw large and small timber carried
along with it. My attention was at
tracted by the roaring, and, as it was
coming in the direction Of my house, I
ran to it for the purpose Of protecting
my family. put my three little
children in a side-room among some
corn, and, with Sylvester Bull, was
holding the door, and all OF once the
whole building was crushed to the very
ground by large trees being blown
against it. 1t blew me about sixty feet,
and when became conscious l found
myself among lot of timber and logs,
and Sylvester was lying by my side
dead; his head and whole body were
crushed. AS [ was on my way to the
house l looked again at the cyclone
when it was about 100 yards away, and
saw it lift and carry away lot of hogs
and COW. The children when found
wore not more than thirty feet from
where ] had placed them, but none
hurt. My wife was considerably
bruised, being blown about sixty yards,
among a lot of lumber.
my sister-in-law was carried about
fifty feet and thrown to the ground,
her arms and shoulders badly bruised.
my blacksmith-shop was also blown
fiat to the ground, my bellows entirely
destroyed, all my planes, augerS, saws,
and chisels were carried off and have
not yet been found, with the exception
Of one saw found one mile from the
shop and broken in two pieces. My
wagon was torn up badly, the front
wheels being about sixty yards from
where the wagon stood, lodged against
a stump; the hind wheels were both
smashed up; the wagon bed has not yet
been found excepting few splinters.
All my bedding and wearing apparel
was carried off and entirely destroyed.
l lost all my provisions.
Immediately in the rear Of the wind
came food of water, just like water
spout, appearing to pour as if from

The Longevity OF ICebergs.

Karl Weyprecht, in his work on the
Polar sea, discusses the longevity OF
icebergs. Icebergs are subjected to
disintegration after somewhat the same
manner as rocks. They are full of cre-
vases, into which the water formed by
melting penetrates. In winter this
water freezes, and by its expansion all
through the glacier rupture of the
mass ensues. ut is highly probable"
he says, "that most of the icebergs afoat
in winter are in such condition that q
very slight cause is sufficient to make
them burst because of their state Of In
ternal tension. Every polar traveller
can tell how shot, the driving in Of an
ice anchor, or any other sudden vibra-
ton has brought about the catastrophe;
cases have even occurred in which the
sound OF the voice alone was sufficient.
An iceberg is always an unpleasant
neighbor." So many are the causes
which tend to destroy icebergs that the
author concludes that mo berg exists
which could withstand them more than
ten years, and that commonly the life
of q borg is much shorter" However
this may be, doubtless the much larger
Antarctic bergs last very much longer,
as must necessarily occur, because Of
the greater uniformity Of the climate to
which they are exposed.

THE MAIZE.
BY FosDICK.

Alar In the forest the rude cabins rise,
And send up their pillars Of smoke,
And the tops Of their columns are lost IN the SKIES

And the Willows gold hair then appears,
And snowy the cups of the dogwood that burst
BY the red bud, with pink-tinted tears
And striped the bolls which the poppy holds up,
For the dew and the suns yellew rays,
And the brown is the pawpaw's shade-DlossomihS
In the woods, near the sun-oving maize.
When through the dark soil the bright steel Of the

The pIowman is checred by the finch on the bough,
And the blackbird doth follow his tread.
And idle, afar on the landscape deserted,
The deep-lOwing kline slowly Craze,
And nbbling the grass the sunny hillside,
Are the sheep, hedged away from the maize
with springtine and culture, in martial AIRY,
II waves its green broadswords on high;
And fights with the gale in luttcring fray,
And the sunbeams which fall from the sky.
1t strikes its green blades at the zephyrs at noon,
And at night at the swift lying fays,
Who ride through the darkness the beams OF the

A Strange Romance.

That "truth is stranger than fiction
is once more aptly exemplifed by the
following curious narrative, which
reaches the Malone from its CORE
spondent at Lucca: "Some years ago
native of Casamaggiore emigrated to
America, leaving behiLd him his wife
and two children. Shortly after his ar
rival in the States, where he promptly
found lucrative employment, he sent
100 lire to the priest of his native place,
to be by him conveyed to his family. A
few months later this remittance was fol-
lowed by second of 1000 lire; and at
subsequent periods other sums werefor-
warded in the same manner, to the total
amount of $4,000 lire, or G1, 600. The
priest, however, to whom this money
was transmitted put it in his own
pocket. One day, having come to the
conclusion that he had derived suffi-
cient profit from his agency, he sent
for the woman and informed her, with
many consolatory reflections, that her
husband was dead. About the same
time he wrote to the emigrant, stating
that the latter's wife and children had
succumbed to an epidemic which
had all but depopulated Casa
maggiore, and inclosed in his
letter an official certificate of their
death and burial. 1t appears that, after
while, the emigrant, believing himself
to be widower, married again. He
prospered in business, became wealthy
man, and few months ago determined
to visit the place of his birth. In due
time he arrived with his second wife
and family at Casamaggiore, where he
took up his quarters at the principal
inn. Strolling out to look up some of
his old acquaintance, q little beggar
boy followed him, importuning him for
aims. Something in the child's appear
ance arrested his attention. He asked
the boy his name, and found him to be
his own son. Further inquiry soon
elected the fact that his wife and two
children were living, but in the utmost
poverty and distress. The reverend
embezzler, when confronted with his
victims, offered to refund the $4,000
lire; but the affair had come to the
knowledge of the police authorities,
who refused to permit any compromise,
and arrested the holy man, against
whom proceedings have been taken by
the state. Meanwhile, his unfortunate
ex-parishioner finds himself saddled
with two wives and families, between
whose claims upon his affection and
support there is, equitably speaking,
nothing to choose either wsy.-London

Pay OF French Legislators.

II may not be uninteresting to our
readers to give glance at the different
deliberative Assemblies which have sue.
ceeded each other in this country since
1889. In that year the number of
representatives was 774-nine per de-
partment and three extra. Each MEM
ber received Is francs day, and thus
tho Assembly cost 1882 francs daily,
or 33l, 1868 francs month for twenty
four sittings. The whole session of
nine months, therefore, required 2,9S7,-
622 francs. In addition, 81 300 francs
was allowed for the Bureau, making a
total of 3,03S, ,922 francs. The members
of the Corps Legislatif, which came
after the Representatives of the People,
had 10000 francs each per session, with
the obligation Of having carriagefor
two legislators. Under the Restoration
the Deputies received no pay. The
President alone received 100000 francs
to meet the expense of receptions.
Under Louis Philippe the members
did not have any salary, but the Pres
ident received 100000 francs. In 1S4S
the Deputies of the Second Republic,
who were 900 in number, received %
francs day, or 100000 francs
per month. The session lasted
nine months and cost 4,905,000
francs, including the President and the
Questors. Under the empire, that is to
say from 1852 to 1870, there were 2S3
Deputies. They received at first 1000
francs a month during time of the ses-
sions. Afterward they had fixed sal
ary of 12,500 francs. The President of
tho Legislative Corps had fixed allow
ance of 100000 francs, and 10000 francs
for costs of receptions. The sessions
of the second empire absorbed $780,
900 francs. In 1871, the Assembly at
Bordeaux was composed of 750 mem
bers, who were paid $50 francs amonth,
or 5000 francs year. They had their
salaries even during the months when
they did not sit. The allowance of the
President was reduced at this period to
10000 francs, and the Questors to 49,
900 francs. Since 1876 the Chamber
is composed of 54S members, including
the representatives of the French colo
MES. Each member has a fixed allow
ance OF 750 francs month. The Pres
idents salary is 10000 francs, and that
of the Questors $4,000 francs. hide
