How to Cut Your Corns.

An Eastern man cut his corns, gan
creme set i'll and he died from the eff
fects. There is nothing so generally
whitfield by the American people as
corns, and yet there isn't one out of the
several millions who go out in the
kitchen Sunday morning to cut their
corns who know how to do it properly.
1t is for the benefit of these that the fol-
lowing directions for cutting cornS are
given:
Corns should never be cut unless they
are painful and give the proprietor
more or less trouble.
1t is poor taste to sit up in bed and
white your cornS before you dress.
The best place to cut cornS is in the
woodShed or on the back doorstep. 1t
is not good policy to cut them in the
kitchen. The chips do not taste well
even after they are cooked.
If you are woman, when you cut
your corns you will sit down ON the
floor. That is right.
Of course you will first arm yourself
with your husbands razor. That is
wrong.
Once in position, you should hew to
the line, let the chips fall where they
may.
If the corn is of the cold, clammy va
IlcIys lile OulSlue SHc1 SllOulu Uc
knocked off with a small Ratchet.
You should then grasp the foot in
your hand and rub your thumb over the
corn two or three times until it is per-
fectly free from gravel. This will save
the razor TO some extent.
Now grasp the razor in your right
hand, take the corn-fed toe between the
thumb and forefinger of your left hand,
bite your under lip and cut the corn low
In the neck.
If you are a woman, when you have
shaved off the first layer of corn, drop
the razor, place your left arm over your
eyes and say 80 myr' This will settle
your nerves perfectly and enable you to
carve Oh.
If yon cut so deep that the blood
comes, scream, run into the house, pick
the sliverS out of your foot and wrap
some cotton round the toe. Your hus-
band can go out and find his razor when
he wants to shave.
These tactics repeated Throughout
your natural life will in the end prove
beneficial, and you will undoubtedly
enjoy better growth of corn on your
death bed than ever before.

The following table, compiled from the re- port of the bureau of statistics of the treas ury depar tment shows the principal sources of tariff revenue during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1887, the amount collected from each source, and the sd valorem rate oi tariff tax. In most cases the tariff taxes are specific and their al valorem equivalent is computed by the bureau from the total value of the goods imported and the whole amount of tax collected thereon.

LIFE AND SONG.

If life were caught by clarinet, And wild heart throbbing in the reed Should thrill its joy and shrillits fret And utter it's heart in every deed; Then would this breathless clarinet Type what the poet fain would be; For none of the singers ever yet .Has wholly lived his minstrelsy, Or clearly sung his true, true thought Or utterly bodied forth his life, Or out of life and song has wrought The perfect one of man and wife; Or lived and sung that Life and Song Might each express the others all, Careless if life or art were long, Since both were one, to stand or fall; So that the wonder struck the crowd, Who shouted it about the land; His song was only living aloud, His work, singing with his hand.
 Sidney Lanier.
