HOW TO CURE WARTS.
The Many Superstitions About Getting
Rid of Them.

From the Lewiston Journal
''Nartsm exclaimed the oracle to the pre-

on Saturday. I've had 'em. Yes, sir. I've
had EN-, but charmed 'em away" After this
statement the members of the convention fell
into silence, considering the departed warty
days Of youth. IF a man will write down the
number of warts that he has on his hands on
the hatband of a tramp without the tramp
knowing it, the latter will carry the warts away
with him." suggested George William the
elderly oracle on warts, after a long silence
Warts used to give in" he continued, when
you cut one notch on a green elder stuck for
every wart you had and then rubbed the stick
on each wart and then buried it in the barn
yard until il rots.
THAT fixes EN-. Take black snail, rub him
on the warts and then stick him on a thorn
bush. DO this nine successive nights and the
snails and the warts will be dead together"
"Chalk marks on the stove funnel used to fix
my warts, said the chairman of the meeting

when they disappeared the warts went too

The systematic study of physical develop

explained to me by DIR. John 5. White, head
master of the Berkeley school,
Systematic physical development" said the
doctor, has done wonders for Harvard Uni
verslty. For instance, last year there were
among the undergraduates over two hundred
young men who could satisfactorily pass phys
ical examinations that not single student
could have passed twelve years before that
time. Formerly Harvard trained nine young
giants who could play ball Now it trains over
two hundred young men, each stronger than
the earlier athletes, and all of whom are not
only good ball PLAYERS, but expert general
athletes in the gymnasium. on the water and
on the track. That is what systematic study
has done in one college,"

Culture In New York.

From the Evening Post.
The following questions and answers are
from the stenographic account Of the senate
committees examination on Saturday. They
contain some interesting specimens of the
mayors grammar and style of expression and
should be preserved in connection with extracts
from his letters heretofore printed in this
paper.

poor indeed, and that they were not at all we'll

that child, and at the time had accepted had
clearly in my own mind in 1884 that it was
responsibility that must look forward to with
a great deal of care, and then fixed in my
mind that should make some provision for
that child; and subsequently done it.
Q. What did the child do with the $4,000
envelope?
A. The child, I think, rather held the en-
velope and think the mother took it.
In reply to a long question touching the
rumors of Doodle in connection with the board
OF aldermen of 1884 the mayor said:
Oh, there todS various rumors, as 1 say, about
this contingency Of the Broadway railroad and
the commissioner OF public works, but as to its
being anyoooys coming whiting my knowledge,

q. Did you hear any rumors at the time of

franchise?
A. There Dds rumors, yes, sir.
q. You never sought his advice and he never

discussion came up in Tammany Hall as to
