Money Wanted by the Pope,

The Catholic world of France is dis.

Treatment of Eace NInIeS

A hairy mole which is still growing
should be removed at once, even. at the
risk Of some injury to the skin. It is
now probably no more than plexus of
capillary vessels, with only small sup
ply of connective tissue. There is also a
likelihood that it has not yet involved
the skin If this be its condition, the
skin over the tumor may be reflected in
flaps. and the tu1nor itself strangulated
with ligature in one Of the usual WAYS
The flaps should then be replaced, and
the result will be d minimum of cicatrix
and deformity.
But if the nHvus be allowed to grow
it will become large. highly vascular
erectlle tumor, probably invading and
involving the skin, liable to profuse
nemorrhase if injured; yet still quite
amenable to treatment, though of less
simple kind. The modes Of treating

increasing. Herald of Health

Old Words and New.

Some of the words used by old fash
loned country people, and laughed at by
those who hear them, are not corrup-
tlons Of language. but merely survivals
OF old forlns-forms so old that many
educated persons have forgotten, or per-
haps have never known. THAI they were
once IN good and regular standing d,

So, too, when the same cid woman
says "piny'' instead Of peony, she is only
following the ancient usage. In William
Brownies "Britannia's Pastorals." print

tells us, pronunciation traditional in
many old English families.
When an lrishman speaks of his ''fader
and moder" he is guilty of nothing worse
than talking older English than we are
accustomed to hear "Worschipe thi
fadir and thi modir,' says Wycliffe's
New Testament
Axe, 'laylock" and the like are
now vulgarisms, and as such are to be
avoided, but it is well enough to know
that they were once as we'll received in
good society as their successors are at

with his eyes an appeal for mercy But,
seeing none in the khedive's face, he
kissed the little one tenderly, lifted her

face away and groaned The little one,

Happily the father did not see the beast.

up to the child, smelled of her, looked at
her for fully half minute, then lay

second lion went back. The others

lion sprang upon the lamb.
