Curing Warts BY SUGGESTION

Among the curiosities of disease
which pathologists must somehow
explain and put in line with their
other observations before they can
dogmatize Is as to the permanence Of
warts, often apparently under nervous
influences of the character of sugges.
ton. AS is well known. the stories
about warts and their cure by strange
devices are infinite, and in many cases
are so strange that it is only on the
hypothesis of suggestion that they
can be explained or even believed
Needless to say, however. the theory
that such solid and obvious over.
growths as warty masses can be made
to shrivel and die off under the in
tluence of such a mental process as
suggestion has bearings which reach
far and can hardly be limited to warts
alone. A case is related by DR.. Dlbble
Staple of a girl Is years old who had
large number of warts on both her
hands She had counted as many as
"a on the right hand Having read
in one of the medical journals that a
number of warts had been cured by
vaccination, the doctor determined,
with the consent of her relatives. to
give the plan a trial. He therefore
reyaccinated the patient on June /.
The vaccination was successful, but
no effect was produced on the warts
until seven weeks after, when they
gradually disappeared, leaving tenn
porary white spots. and when she was
seen on August 80 she had no trace
/ of them.-The Hospital.

Again the not, impatient blood Of his

Violet swept him a courtesy that

Violet; and you know it."

laughed Violet
THAT is quite a different matter,
replied Lord Ryvrs, hotly. The ad-
miration of man of that class is an
insult"
Il do not think so, said Violet,
calmly, and l do not understand your
constant alluson to class. "
Lord RIVERS turned away abruptly;
in another moment he would have be-
trayed his carefully guarded secret.
He could not endure even half.angry
words from the lips he loved. He ST
/ lently resolved that he would never
argue with her again; but he would
speak to that young snob' himself.
Violet was so young, so simple, and had
seen so little of the world that, even
IL he made love to her she would not
know it.

wary Matters.

In compromising the different dishes
study wholesomeness as well as en-
cellcnce of flavor.
Keep the oysters on ice until needed,
and offer six, or at most seven, to each
person.
In serving any course give small por-
tions. Large helpings are unpleasantly
suggestive of vulgar overlooking.
Break, instead of cutting, lettuce
leaves apart. Keep in cold water until
ready TO serve. and add the dressing at
the table.
Scrub celery stalks lengthwise with
small vegetable brush, scrape off all
rusty lines with n silver knife, and keep
covered with cold water.
Drain all but two tablespoonfuls of
oil from the roasting pan before max
ing the brown sauce, and chop the glib
lets very fine.
TO bring out its perfect flavor mince-
meat should be allowed 10 ripen two
or three weeks before it is used.
Make the pumpkin pie rich, but deli
cately favored. Use your very deepest
tin, and bake with steady heat for one
hour, never having it intense enough
to boil the filling.

A little girl, in writing an account of
an address she had heard on the phys
ical effects of alcohol, wrote that: "A
cohol hardens the heart" We may smile
at the misapprehension of the child as
to what the lecturer had taught, but
there is no doubt that she wrote n moral
if not physical truth when she said
"alcohol hardens the heart" There is
not another agent that more etfectually
hardens the hearts of men and women
who in sober moments are tender and
loving parents than indulgence in alco-
holic LIQUORS.
