Care of the Feet.

Associated with manicuring naturally
is the care of the feet--pedicuring as II
is called. Alas, alas! for the sufferer
from corns OF bunions! Who can pro-
nounce cure? Alterations there may
well be, but cure, This battles the skill
of the wisest chiropodist, but the 'ounce
Of prevention" can be looked to in this
regard with excellent effect.
Above all things keep the feet thor
oughly clean and well rubbed and ma-
nipulated. This will prevent lame joints,
and nearly always prevent corns. Once
or twice a week they should be soaked In
warm water, the toes being gently rubbed
all the time. After this warm bath, rub
the toes with q weak solution Of arnica,
and where there is a tendency to bun
ions paint with iodine. A bendags wet
with alum water and put on when retir-
ing is excellent for strengthening tender
feet, while sand. soap or emery paper
should be used TO remove any rough
scarf skin or cuticle- Over profuss
perspirasin can be checked by using
a powder of chalk and starch, OF
by bathing in hartshorn and water.
Keep the toes as straight as possible.

thin spiint under them at night, tied
closely, against which they can be held

the loose ones on the ground, fitted out OF

Bronx kept still until after the birds had
flown back and forth for q dozen times or so,
and then he pitched in and got his share Of
the nuts But the blue jays kept coming and
going, carrying nuts in their bills at each
trip, and not appearing TO remain long enough
at the other end Of the route to eat any of the

r 2V. Job Turner.

Rev, Job Turner, of Staunton Va, mis-
siOnary to the deaf mutes in the South,
himself a deaf mute, preached in the
Episcopal church of this place last Sun
day in the forenoon and afternoon. In
the forenoon, he preached from Isarah
20; IS: And in that day shall the deaf
hear the words of the book"
His sermon was read by Rev. W. J.
Smith, the Rector, and at the same time
delivered in the sign language by Mr.,
Turner to the deaf mutes present.
Some notes from his morning sermon
are especially interesting 1t has been
1870 years since the method Of instructing
the deaf mutes was adopted. 1t has
been greatly improved. With reference
to the education of the deaf mutes he
said:
81 was connected with the Virginia
Institute at Staunton, as principal teacher
for 50 years, during which time almost
every deaf mute admitted was entirely
ignorant OF God.
mo parental ingenuity frightened by
parental love, independent of systematic
instruction, has ever been able to max e
known to deaf mute child the existence
of God, not even the existence OF its own
soul, far less the work and offices of
Christ"
My widowed mother, now gone, could
not give me any idea of these things till
She sent me to school. l thought we all
died like animals"
He stated that he went to school at the
age Of ID. Said there is a church in Lon
don at which 1000 deaf mutes attend
service every Sunday. There are about
49, 900 deaf mutes in the United States.
There is church in New York and one
in Philadelphia for deaf mutes.
In the afternoon he went through the
regular service in the sign language with
the congregation. His text was Psalms
! $50: 9 i 10: IF | take the wings OF
morning and dwell IN the uttermost parts
! Of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold me-
The sermon was somewhat a narrative
of his journey to Europe. He spoke OF
! the voyage and Of his safe arrival; the
wonders Of the Old " ORD: his safe
return.
HIS journey, he said, was quite sugges.
tive of the journey to Heaven; and he
made an earnest appeal to the unconvert
ed to come to Christ and trust him fol
safe guidance. His closing sentences
Were quite impressive as he expressed
the thought suggested by the text, How
wonderful is God, how Insignificant is
man."
At the close Of the sermon a collection
was taken up for his work, and we learn
it was quite liberal.
The exercises were interesting. Willie
a feeling of sadness for the poor unfortu,
nate of his kind was felt by all, yet there
was brighter meditation that through
the wisdom of God they can all be taught
the way Of truth.
