Warts are peculiarly ugly things whor-
eyer they may occur, and were considered
practically incurable few years ago, unless
It were by means Of charms. IN every
village there was an old woman who under
took TO charm warts away, and the cures
related by her VotarieS were really marvel
Gus, especially when they related to the
hiding away of piece Of meat with which
the wart had been rubbed, or any nostrum
of that nature. Sometimes, however, the
wsrt-oharmer used some vegetable juice
which OF course, acted as eaustic, and that
was a proper and legitimate cure. The lit
tie wsrtY e8CrescenceS that grow on the
neck, or sometimes on the eyelid, may be-
removed by tying hair OF q morael of fine
silk round them. The wearing of this
causes the excreseence to fall of in few
days, without producing q wound or even
tender place in the skin. Warts should
be treated as soon as they are perceived,
and not allowed to grow. Ii they come on
the hand, it is oAen from being carelessiy
dried, az g damp state of the skin seems TO
induce them. 1t is the common belief
among servants that putting the hands
into water in which eggs have been boiled
will produce them. Warts are far less
common than they used to be, perhaps be-
cause more remedies are known, and per
haps with the spread of knowledge there is
less faith In silly charms and more recourse
TO chemists and doctors.
Few people are 50 afflicted with warts as
the Able Liszt, the well-known musician.
They are all over his face, and especially on
his nose, and as they are Of peculiar kind,
he seems unable to get rid OF them.
Wrinkles give an appearance OF age, and
usually come on as people grow older or az

powder, q habit remarkably offensive to
men, whatever foolish women may think
OF it. A little powder TO prevent chatting in
cold weather, or after washing when the
face or neck have been exposed 10 the sun,
is very different thing Just dust Of
powder imme diateiy wiped off temporarily
removes a greasy look; but it stands to
reason that lavish use OF it fills up the
pores of the skin, AMI thereby permanently
INJURIES the complexion Wrinkles are very
much under personal control. A girl or q
youth who INDUCES in q perpetual knitting
OF the bfoW5 produces very ugly wrinkle
beneath the eyebrows but this may be en-
tirely removed by foTsaking the trick. A
habit of half-Glosing the eyeS-yery com
mon with ncar-sighted persons who do not
choose to wear glasses produces wrinkles
at their outer corners. An ill-tempeTed
dropping OF Inc corners Oh the NOUN
brings wrinkles in those position. No out
ward application will ever cure this; the
effort must come from strong determination
and resolute avoidance Of the cause that
produces the ugly effect
Living in very dirty atm osphere tends
10 develop and accentuste wrinkles; the
CRIME naturally settles in any little hoilows
that will receive il, and the longer it stays
there the more difficult it is to remove 1t
may be partially kept out by regularly
wearing vail out of doors, but the best
thing is frequent and thorough washing
with hot water, and the application of
little sweet oil or cold cream at bedtime
This softens and smooth the skin, helping
ii to fill out instead OF increasing the ten
dency to fall into hoilows and trace chan
nels A little alum, or other astringent
lotion applied in the morning does good
rather than harm, but if it makes the skin
smart it acts as an irTitant, and must be
avoided. Any putting OF the skin is ass0-
ciated with an unhealthy condition of the
blood, and ought TO receive proper medical
treatment. People who habitually worry
themselves over triflcs frequently get Wrin-
kles in their forehead, but persons who
cultivate calm and easy state of mind
may escape them for many years. Harp
