IT appears from a recent statement
made by one of the most extensive iron
founders in England, that owing to the
improvements lately made in the manu-
facture of coke. the yield of the latter,
per ton of coal, has been increased
from about sixty per cent. to seventy
five and seventy-seven per cent. At
the same time that the yield of coke has
been thus increased. the b~y-products
have been utilized to the extent of seven
gallons of tar and thirty gallons of am
moniacal liquor per ton of coal. This
advance in the utilization of by-pro-
ducts means. in a word, a reduction in
the cost Of the production of iron.

WARTS AND WRINKLES.
How They nre Produced and How "a
Avoid Them.
from Harpcr's Ba2irl.


Warts are peculiarly ugly things, wher.
ever they may occur, and were considered
practically incurable few years ago, unless
it were by means of charms In every vii
lage there was an old woman who undertook
to charm warts away, and the cures related
by her votaries were really marvellous, cs-
pecially when they related to the hiding
away piece of meat with which the wart
mad been rubbed or any nosrum
Of tina! nature. Sometimes, however,
the wart charmer used some vegetable Juice
which, of course, acted as cauStc and
that was proper and legitimate cure
The little waty cxcrescences that grow On
the neck, or somciimts on the oyelid, may be
removed by tying Il hair or mors i Of fine
silk around them. The wearer Of this causes

as damp state of the skin seems to induce
them. 1t is the common belief among SER

they used to be, perhaps because more rcmc-

the Able List, the well.known musician.
They are all over his face, and especially on
his nose, and as they are of peculiar kiud,
he seems unable to get rid of them.
Wrinkles have an appearance of age, and
usually come on as people grow Older or as
a consequence of usiug large quantities of
powder, habit remarkably offensive to
men, whatever foolish women may
think of it. A l,tle p,wder to
