The ,.onaus Knew Corns.

ancient Greeks and Romans never knew
what corus were, tor they were not silly
enough 10 pinch the feet with fashionab q
boots. What nonsense! Consult Paulus
Aegineta and the learned commentators
a Iavorite remedy for corns was COM
position OF red arsenic, quiclslime, quick
silver killed, with the ashes of acorns
and oil. Bean-meal boiled with vinegar
was another. There were more heroic
cures. One was To heat an iron, proper
,ionate to the size of the corn, red-hot and
apply it until there was suppuration. In
the other method funnel of copper. or
iron or tho quill of a vulture was ap-
piled and then filled with boiling water.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Action Taken by the state Council at
Berlin.

Berlin.
LONDON, March 1S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says: The imperial
gazette makes the startling statement
that the State Council, in adopting Ho-
henlohe's declaration on the currency
question, omitted the phrase, without
prejudicing our imperial currency"
The omission, however, is no indication
that Germany has been converted to BIZ
metallism. The declaration which Ho-
henlohe read is as follows: Without
prejudicing our imperial currency, one
must confess that the differences in the
value of gold and silver continue to re-
act in our commercial life. Following,
therefore, the tendency that led to the
appointment of a silver commission, l
am ready to consider in conjunction with
the Federal Government whether we
cannot enter upon an interchanging of
opinion as TO common remedial measures
with the other States. which are chiefly
interested in maintaining the value OF
silver.'

How Great Story Was Written.

The history OF any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always inter
esting, therefore at the risk of be-
ing accused of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers Of
the origin of a famous story of the
late war. The Publishers of the
Chicago Record wanted a story
which, besides being 4 love story Of
great merit, should wildly describe
the thrilling events of the battle
Of Gettysburg and the siege of Rich
mond. One author after another
failed in the work, and at last the
famous st, George Rathburne was
approached on the subject. He de-
manded fabulous price for the
work, but it was paid, and the story
was actually written to order, 1t
is, however, printed under the pea
name OF "Hugh Allen" 1t is de-
clared by by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story of the war ever written.
The first installment of it appeared
in No 3, Vol. xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention. A private letter from
the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the
publishers Of the Ledger will mail
the opening chapters of the story
free of charge to all who send in
their names at once. The LEDGE
is a great paper, and each wee;
gives story matter enough to make
a dollar book. Address

ASKED TO REFUND.
Trustees of the State Charitable In
stitutions Invited to the Cap
tain's Office.

1t is a well know fact that the
house committee on state charita-
bic institutions has been making a
searching investigation into the
management of affairs for the past
two years. Rumors have beencur.
rent for the past few days that the
committee would make demandon
the board of trustees of the state
charitable institutions for the re-
turn of moneys improperly drawn.
1t was learned this morning from
what is considered reliable sources
that on yesterday afternoon the
house committee sent communica-
tions to the following members of
the board, demanding that they re-
fund to the state treasury, moneys
improperly drawn; r. B. Morrow,
0, c. Ludwig, w. B. Folsom, W. F.
Hicks, A. R. Witt, W. r. Chew and
W. E. Ferguson, the latter of whom
Is ex-member of the board. 1t
seems the members drew mileage
and expenses outside of per diem,
which is not provided for in the law
which created the board, Mr. Nor
row is asked to refund forty days
per diem at So per day, 1t is the
committees idea that as state
treasurer he was already drawing
one salary from the state, and was
not entitled to another salary un-
der the constitution
1t is but fair to the members of
the board to say that they drew
the funds believing they had right
to do so. - Arkansas Democrat.
