Indiana's Tallest Mound,

rom tne lnulaudpoilS NeWa.
The ploughshare Of the farmer Is SLOWLY
but surely obliterating one Of the first
monuments left in southern Indiana by pre-

on the farm owned by James Mccoy. is the
largest mound in the state. That It was
artihcially constructed is beyond question.
as there are no natural hills in this yfcin-
ity, and the land for miles around shows
where the dirt was removed for Its build

monument to commemorate the virtues of
the ancient Mound Builders or laboriouslv

An Eccentric Countess,
From the London Telegraph


Some Of the eccentricities of the late
Comtesse de Castiglione have come out.
At the time of her death she had no fewer
than five fats in different parts Of Paris,
four of which were chiefly used for stor-
ing rare furniture and other objects. She
lived In the fifth. in the street bearing her
name. 1t contained many roughly made
deal boxes and basket trunks packed with
rich laces, furs, fans. scent bottles and
jeweled knick-knacks. There were fifty
fans Of the greatest beauty. A summary
history OF each. and on what occasions It
was used, was written on q docket. A
great quantity Of plate was found in
box in another Of the flats. with a tea
service in massive carved silver Of great
value. Her collection Of Venetian rose
and other italian guipures is said to be Of
priceless worth. The parasols and canes
are not less remarkable. Canes came into
fashion for ladies Just before she retired
from the world to bury herself alive as a
recluse In the very heart of Paris These
articles are in themselves almost a fortune.
The cambric body linen Is Of unbelievable
hneness. There are also trunks filled with
souvenirs of the Tuileries, which the
countess gathered in the ruins of that pal
ace. Pawn tickets have been found for
sums amounting to 1S0,000f. One of them
covers a famous necklace of pearls that
was missed. though she mentioned it in
her will. 1t Is worth f12,OO She pawned
1t for trif1e compared to it's real value.
The heir of the late countess Is a distant
cousin, who lives in Genoa.

Treatment of COrns.

Hard corns are produced by friction and
pressure. Very loose footgear may be more
hurtful than tight. The boot should per-
fectly fit the foot. The best way to get
rid Of a hard corn is to place over It a
shield and to attack the growth with sali-
cylic acid collodion. After some few APP
plications the outer layers Will be easily
removable By perseverance the corn will
be brought even with the skin surface. IL
now the part is completely protected from
pressure and friction, the deeper. down
growing center will gradually disappear,
partly by absorption and partly by being
pushed to the surface. The acid should be
used now and again until where the corn
once was there is a smooth new skin.
Soft always arise from pressure
and moisture. The feet, when carefully
tended never develop these painful
growths. When undertaking treatment the
first essential is to wipe the feet thorough
ly after they have been wet. IL the parts
are moist aturally they ought to be wiped
at least twice daily. After doing so an
absorbent and soothing powder should be
applied freely. Starch and boracic acid in
equal parts will be found useful. At night
do not apply the powder, but instead lay
on with a brush equal parts of salicylic
acid collodion and fluid hydrochlorate Of
morphia-
This plan viii suffice, but another that
has proved very successful is as follows:
At night the parts are thoroughly dried
Then this mixture is laid on with a brush:
Fluid sulphate OF atropine. one dram:
saturated solution of alum. one dram
This will dry and harden the sodden tissue.
Apply for six nights. On the seventh use
the salicylic and morphia. If the corn is
between the toes wadding should be placed
in that situation.
The agony that may be caused by a
neglected soft corn is altogether out OF
proportion to the apparent cause OF the
pain. Brief pain can be borne with a
smile, but when prolonged it is bound to
affect the facial expression even of the
most stoical.

LIMIrArIoN or sUFrRAaE,

In dispatch to the Chicago Record
Herald, William Z. Curtis states that
''the sentiment in favor OF an education
al qualification for voters has become so
pronounced that it is likely to become
an issue in few years. II is not only
being discussed in the newspaper, but
is heing debated by students in colleges
throughout the country. There is no
longer any disposition to protest against
the action OF the states that have estab-
lished such qualification, and the time
may soon come when an amendment
will be advocated giving congress the
right to prescribe uniform qualifications
for voters at elections for members OF
congress and president and vice presi.
dent.
There can be no doubt that this sen.
timent has made great Roadway. When
the government was founded we had no
such masses OF ignorant people as we
have now. To be sure, there were illit-
crates, but they were OF different class
and did not constitute menace to the
ballot. The influx of the vast multi
tndes OF the lower classes from southern
Europe has brought about change, and
now. in all the large cities and in many
smaller communities, there are great
Plumbers OF people who cannot exercise
the right OF suffrage intelligently. These
people do not understand our form of
government and have no patriotic in
terest in its maintenance. They are not
qualified for participation in elections.
and they should not be permitted to
vote.
I'm the south, they have the great
masses of negroes AMI other ignorant
people. The numbers OF the colored race
rendered it Il menace in the opinion OF
southern people; consequently they are
taking steps to disfrahchise all its Hit
crates. But, in some respects the iIht-
crate negro is lar more desirable as a
voter than the illiterate Italian; so.
while the south is DISTINGUISHING the
former, people elsewhere are considering
the necessity of measures that would
take the ballot out Of the hands of the
latter"
