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 a
thickening aud hardening of the scarf
skin, or epidermis. 1t is always caused
by pressure, and is removed only by
the removal OF the pressure. And We
may here ntate that, SO absolutely are
they thus removed, protracted period
IF sickness will gradually lift them
wholly oat OF the flesh.
A wart, on the contrary, belongs to
the skin proper-the oera cutis-and con-
sists of an abnormal growth of one or
more paEillR, in which the nerves and
blood vessels terminate. For this rcu-
son, while the substance Of corn is as
'nsensible as that of the tinger-nail, the
substance OF u wart is peculiarly sensitive
beneath the scarf skin which covers the
head OF the papil!@, and which these
carry with them as they push upwards.
In most cases, rs the euualiZed action
OF tho parts is restored, they go off
themselves. They can be speedily re-.
moved, however, by touching them re-
peatedly with nitrate OF silver, or by
apply lug nltflc aclu 10 their eXtremltleS.
Care should be taken not to touch the
a. ,cent skin.
Many supefstitious notions prevail
respecting the cure OF warts, among
the people. They have been handel
down fr"m the remotest times, when
superstition had more to do with medi-
Cal methods generally than true science.
III the aged, VIXEN the cuticle is hard.
the eplthetical cells, instead of devel-
oping upwards, develop d~wnwarIs
iuto the tissues, and give rise to paiu-
full tumors, which the physician alone
Can eradicate.
Sometimes "moles" tend to enlarge
and become painful. A little nitric
acid applied to them u few times will ar
rest the tendency. - Youths Compa"ion

There are churches and churches!
There are pagan temples III ruin and
Christian copies Of pagan temples which
ought to be Ia ruiz.
There are cnurches--Christian, too
which are 80 magnificent and rich IN
materials aad il Ornamentation that
YOU cannot see the CHRIST idea-you
cannot see the church. Such are like
huge jewels--iD rs bad taste as would
oe u diamond stud in the bosom of the
CHRIST.
But there are churches in Italy
where the genius Of the architect has
lad its sway without hindrance, anu
the results are worthy temples to the
iiving God.
Aud to my mind one is the Duomo
Cathedral at Milan. A pure decorated
Gothic. 1t rises, pointing with its many
plnnacles and its thousands of statues
to the sky, graceful because true, airy
and light, white and pure, delicately
carven, loaded with ornaments on y
style that will bear it; whose sixty col
umns, like trunks of eiaut trees, up.
hold y fretted roof which, tree, branch
and leaf like, slope up as you see the
meeting branches do in o forest--the
light subdued, the toue of color inside
= gray, the windows one blaze of rain.
bow tints in stained glass, which may
tell the whole church history.
A marvel of architecture, . flower in
ma, bic. whose perfume is the incense
Of its affairs.
Its study satisfies some new and
unknown or underlined sense Of tn.
beautiful in met seems beautiful be
cause IL is true, and true, because it Is
beautiful.--F. s., in Detroit Press.

The New Orleans Women,

Tho New Orleans woman proper is Il
Gallo American, or rather an American
Ganl. She may never have been out Of
the country, or even out of the State :;
but for nll that she is an alien to the
republic in the sense that she has little
knowledge of it and less care for it and
its affairs. If Creole, or Creole descent
or affinity, sho reads French newspapers,
has French habits and opinions, and she
is essentially French in mind and man
ncr. She talks English though she
thinks in French she is an inlabiilnt
of the United States, but n citizen of
Louisiana, especially of its metropolis,
most of her grand outings being to adj
jaccut parishes. Once in while she
may 90 to st. Louis, or Mobile, or
Charleston, or New York, but if she
does it is memorable event, and she
regards 1t us Chlcagoan, Bostouian or
New Yorker would regard the circum-
navigation Of the globe, a Journey to the
interior of Afghnnstan or the heart of
Africa. Should the New Orleans wom-
an he young, especially should she he
unmarried, she may be very graceful,
though rarely slender in figure, for
plumpness and roundncss come very
early with her. She is usually bru-
ncttc. Her manners are, us n rule. srl-
pnrlpr to her person. IL is marvellous
what she can achieve with n bit of lace,
half II yard Of ribbon or few flowers.
The New Orleans woman is not very
educated but such c!uca-
ton as she has she can put 10 the best

Fid0.

II sounds queerly to tell Of poodle
driving off bear, but lady writer re-
lates such story in the Rural Ncw
YOrkcr:
Twenty years ago when Dr. G.. and his
pretty young wife decided to take Horace
Grecley's advice and 500 West" the
question arose, what shall we do with
Fido?'
Fido was the family pet-a snow
white dog six inches high-but with
spirit as brave as that Of any mastiif IL
the land.
Take him, of course" said Lottie,
GLOW can we live without Fido?"
"But, my dear, that is absurd. Take
dog n thousand miles?"
However, the deed was DONE
One night, two years afterwards, the
family were seated in the cottage talking
hopefully of the bright prospects before
them, and longingly of the friends they
had left behind, when Fido came running
to the door barking violently. Then he
ran back to the temporary stables, where
the fine horses were kept which the doc
tor had brought all the way IRON the
old Empire State.
"Fido has started another Badger, !
que IS, said the doctor, resuming the
conversation. But this did not answer.
Back and forth from the stables to the
cottage the little sprite ran, almost fran
tic with excitement, and barking furl
ously.
At length the family went out will
lanterns, to try to quiet the faithful dog
more than from fear Of any danger,
They found one side of the stable torn
off and horse loose.
Something was moving away across the
field, and little Fido was III hot pursuit
1T is bear, said the doctor exam
ming the track,
The animal was killed the next day, {
huge fellow, who was disappointed II
/ his hoped-for meal off the horses by the
spitciul little vixen.
Fido was hero after this, and Away
waggcd his tail proudly and looked NJ
knowingly when any one told the stor'
of l'ido and the bear.
