The "VVandering stones"

Near the little village of San Jose,
Peru, on the shores Of the great lake of
Titicaca, the most lofty lake in the
whole known world. are three pillars Of
stone of unequal height. On one of these
huge blocks the rude features of hu-
man being have been cut, and the other
two are covered with designs of various
kinds, all believed to have some mys-
terious reference to sun worship. Who
the engraver of these mOnoliths was or
at what age Of the world the engraving
was done is not known, but it is highly
probable that it was done long before
the Americas had ever been seen by
any white men. The stones are so large
as to preclude the idea of their having
been erected by human beings the best
explanation being that they were depos-
tied by glaciers where they stand. That
the natives have some legend to this eff
feet is proved by the fact that they call
them wandering stones st. Louis

A man who has made the human foot

are the result Of pressure. You see, the
blood is forced from the sebaceous
glands; therefore an excessive or unnat-
ural quantity Of OIL is thrown off. This
diseases the blood, and the oil forces its
way to the surface Of the toe. AS it
reaches the cuticle it evapOrates, leav

until it presses on the nerves. Corns
have no roots. That idea is fallaciOus.
But they cannot be cured until an in

swell after much walking, put little
