The strong acetic acid known as the gla

pose. II should be applied with glass rod
until the wart is pretty well sodden with the

for warts, but its action is, as a rule, too
superficial TO be of much service. When

treatment the growth usually rapidly wastes,

being complete in from four to eight days.
When, however, the warts ore very large,

1.-THE Maiden Assurance Society is a
somewhat singular business institution in
Denmark. The nobleman--for the associa-
ton is peculiarly for this class-as soon as
q child is born to him, enrolls her name in
certain association of noble families, and
pays n certain sum, and thereafter fixed
amount to the society. When she has reach
ed the age of twenty-one she becomes en-
titled to n fixed income and to an elegant
suite of apartments in large building Of
the association, with gardens and park
about it, inhabited by other young or
older noble ladies who have thus become
members. If her father dies in her youth
and she desires it, she has shelter in this
building and at the fixed time her income.
When she dies or is married all her right tc
income lapses, and the money paid in swells
the endowment of the association. But
this very chance must enable the company
to charge lower annual premiums and make
the burden less on the father insuring. He
has at any rate the pleasant feeling that his
small annual payments are insuring his
daughters future and giving her comfor-
table home and income after he is gone. II
is obvious that the chances for marriage
among given number Of women can be
calculated as closely AZ those of death.
