How COrnS Grow.

Even in things so slight as corns
we may find an ample illustration Of
the law Of cause and effect upon
which disease is dependent.
The first change consequent upon
an irritation of the surface OF the
foot is perceptible increase in the
amount of blood supplied to the part.
This. since there is no rupture OF the
surface, results in undue activity of
the tissue changes of the epidermis,
and we have a thickening Of the SUI
perflcial part of the skin.
1t is obvious that this only aggra-
Yates the difficulty, inasmuch as the
danger Of irritation is greater in a
raised condition Of the skin than
when the surface is flat.
1t is now that the painful period
in the growth of corn begins. The
deeper layers of the skin in their
turn undergo precisely the same op-
Grafton OF excessive activity, and the
consequent thickening Of the tissue.
AS corns usually make their APP
pearance over joints, no cushion is
afforded by soft tissues beneath them
on which the swelling may rest. On
the contrary, the deeper and sensi-
tive portion of the corn is caught and
squeezed, as it were, between two
hard plates, the thickened epidermis
on the one side, and the surface of
the hone on the other. The increased
activity continues, however, and with
it the pain and discomfort is estab-
lisbed, which is significant of the
fully developed corn.
The appearance of corn when a
vertical section of it is made shows
US, as might be expected, the button
shaped callus resting externally upon
the concave surface Of the deeper
growth, which it has followed out by
its own pressure. This constitutes
the core" of corn.
The treatment Of corns may be
gathered from what we have learned
as to their growth. and consists solely
in keeping the callus soft and restrict
ing the activity of the tissue changes.
1t is obvious that the irritation
necessary to the origin of a corn may
be brought about by shoe which is
too loose, as we'll as by one that is too
tight. We get friction in the first
case, and pressure in the second.

had named Joel Pike as her daughters
guardian: that because that young lady
had rejected all friendly overtures. he
had planned the whipping to induce
her to accept his bounty without re-
vealing her fathers guilt, note of ad-
miration mingled with their reference
to the man who had been so long con.
temned. and people sighed in wonder Of
his constancy as they exclaimed. Poor

Caught.

A young man who had the reputa-
ton of being something of a niggard,
was one day asked to dine with a
party on the common understanding
that each was to pay for himself
otherwise, that it was a dutch
treat, as the Americans term it, or
"Homburg dinner" as the English
call it.
The hero treated himself lightly,
with due respect to his pocket, while
the others RECALLED themselves hand
sOmely. When the dinner was over,
the young man was just preparing to
pay his modest share Of the enter
tainment, when loud voice came
from the end of the table, saying:
What is the good of making all
these bills? Let us have it all upon
one bill, and then divide it up
equally"
Under the circumstances there was
no saying no." and the economist
had to pay his share of the good fare
from which he had carefully ab.
stained.
ONE Of the curious rumOrS that
originate among the Russian peasants
is to the effect that the car intends
to disinheTit the czarowitz in favor
Of his third son, the Grand Duke
Michael, who is only fifteen years old,
because the czarowitz is of weakly
constitution. There is an old legend
that there will never be another Gar
| Nicholas in Russia, and the czaro-
WITT bearing that unlucky name, it
is predicted that he will never ascend
the throne. 1t will be remembered
that the elder brother of the present
car was called Nicholas. and that
he died, leaving both the empire and
his bride to his younger brother,

GENESIS or The STEAMBOAT.

Ancient Craft That fOrcshadOwea the
Modern Greyhounds Of tho SEQ.
The first steamboat was built by
Dennis Papin, who navigat d it safely
1own the ulda as long ago as 1907.
Unfortunately this pioneer craft was
destroyed by jealous sailors. and even
the very m tmory Of it was lost for
three-quarters OF q century. In l.15

hight years later, in l.s3, Jouffroy
took up the i'd that had been
evolved by Papin and Perrier and
built steamboat which did good
service for some time on the >aone.
The fir>t American to attempt to
apply steam to navigation was John
Fitch, a Connecticut mechanic, who
made his initial experiments in the
year 1885. To what extent Fitch
was indebted to the three illustriOus
French inventors named above We
are not informed. but that his models
were original there Is not the least
doubt In the first he employed q
large pipe kettle for generating the
steam, the motive power being side
paddles working after the fashion Of
oars on common rowboat In the
second Fitch craft the same mode of
propulsion was adopted with the ex.
ception that the paddles were made
to initiate revolving wheel and
were fixed to the stern-clearly fore.
