Positive Cure for Corn4

Any number of people-in fact, nearly
every one we meet-are troubled With
these painful growths. Thousands OF
dollars worth of "corn cures" ''salves,"
''plasters," etc, are annually pur-
chased by victims, who usually find
such articles to be of little or NO value.
A few years ago, a plan of treatment
(not original with me) came under my
observation, which, / find. if perse-
vered in. will give not only relief but
cure. The growth or growths will be
completely eradicated and this removal
will be accompanied with but little
pain. Buy a little liquor pOtassa at
your druggists and keep it well corked
and in a cool place. Twice each day
(onee upon arising from and upon re-
firing to bed) dip a piece of soft paper.
rolled into wad, into this liquid and
touch the corn or corns with it. Then
with dull knife gently scrape the sur
face of the morbid growth few times.
Repeat this procedure as directed dur
ing a period of week or ten days and
the corns will soon have disappeared.
Caution: Don't allow this liquid to
touch any part Of your skin except the
corn itself.--Americon Home.

Rather, is it not right that the true
wives and mothers of our land should
join hands with the true husbands and
fathers and make the polls a fit place
for any one? Let neither shirk their
responsibility. There have been striv-
ings for years to regulate the liquor
traffic with man-made laws, and it has
not been accomplished. Is it any dis
grace to woman if she puts her shoul-
der to the wheel and helps push for
ward, not only in this, but every other
true reform? Do those women who go
and have gone among rough men in
field or camp or prison. and in the evil
parts of our great cities, to do good,
lose their sweet womanliness? Do we

ASLEEP.

Under the dropping willow tree,
Ny loved one lies asleep.
And though my heart is lone and sad,
Ny eyes refuse to weep.
The bright. bright sun still shines above,
The cool winds fan my brow,
But though they whisper to my love,
She does not heed them now.
Here where were breathed our earliest
vows.
When first our hearts were stirred
BY loves sweet touch. the Heavens drew
near
To catch the faltering word;
Beneath the tree where oft we sat,
Ny darling lies asleep.
And l, beside her lowly bed,
My lonely vigil keep.
The same bright stars look down at night,
The same pale moolbe ans glow.
As when the knowledge of her love
Made earth Heaven below
rde morning -glories that she loved,
Still DER the lattice creep
Yet meath the dropping willow trea,
Ny daring lies asleep.
Under the dropping willow tree
Ny loved one is AT rest:
And yet, no thoughts of dying, too,
Invade my lonely breast:
For il is not the cold. cold grave
But hammock in which she lies,
She is only taxing = little nap,
While keep OF the flies

bining the goods. The underskirt, or
what represents the underskirt. may be
of a material that does not appear in
any other part Of the dress. in which
there may be two or three others; or
again. the skirt material may be used
for the accessories Of the waist, the use

tent governed by the weight of the

skirts with wooden draperies. and vel
vet is in this case the favorite material
for the revers or other accessories of
the waist.
The fashion of distinct material for
the underskirt affords an opportunity
for the exercise Of economy, but it must
not be supposed that any skirt will do
for the purpose; for while the popular
fancy for the use of black with any col

THE HORSESHOE MYTH.
An Old Superstition which Has Believers
Everywhere.

|
Everywhere.
The old superstition of mailing ;
horseshoe over the door of a house as {
protection against evil spirits, and ~
assurance Of good luck. is as widely
spread in the United States as it is il
England or Ireland. 1t also prevails
among nearly all Teutonic and Scandi
navian races and fiOurishes largely in
the East and West Indies and Hindos'
tan. The old writer tells US that there
are three elements united in the horse.
shoe. in the first place it is crescent
shaped. secondly it is a portion of q
horse, and lastly it is made of iron.
Popular superstition has long endowed
iron with protecting qualities. During
the time of the plague in Rome. the in.
habitants of the Eternal City drove
nails in the walls of their houses as a
safeguard against the dread disease.
When the Arabs in the desert are over
taken by the deadly simeon they seek
succor from Heaven by crying 'Iron!
IRON" Celtic. Finnish and Welsh su.
perstitions all agree that against witch
craft iron is considered the only guard.
Custom even recites that it has always
been considered a good omen to find old
iron and particularly to find an old
horseshoe. In the mythology of Eng
land horses were, and are to this day
looked upon as luck-bringers. In some
parts of England nowadays it is still
thought that many forms of disease can
be cured by burning horse alive. A
horses hoof placed under an invalid s
bed is considered a specific for many
many complaints in the north of Scot
land. Many years ago in Ireland, so it
is said, upon the death of favorite
horse it's feet and legs were hung up in
the house. and even the hoofs are kept
sacred. All of which l.: is claimed
serve as a preventive of ill-luck or dis.
ease.
Even in New York, among a certain
class. the horseshoe may te seen nailed
up over many a house or shop door.
The well-known song which WAS sung
by Edward Harrigan n few years ago
made u lasting impression. and served
to remind many of the luck attend
ing old iron shoes. One OF the stanzas
was:
There's a story that is told in Irish history.
Far beyond the days o; King Boru.
That luck will surely always wait upon you
II you pick upon the road horses shoe.
On account of its form, historians
state that the qualities formerly &C
corded to the crescent have been trans
fcrred to the horseshoe. The Chinese
build their tonbs at the present day in
a semi-circular form like IL horseshoe,
and the Moors use i: in their architect
ure. Lord Nelson nailed q horseshoe
to the mast of his flag ship. the "Vic-
tory" and guarded it as If it had been
a citadel. DR.. james. of London, who
earned the so5riquet of '.Ducky" from
the amount of money he made out of
his patent medicines. attributed his
phenomenal success to the finding of a
horseshoe, which symbol he adopted as
Il crest for his carriage.-N J.. Nail
