In a little village in Surrey, Eng, as
remote from the greet world as a
desert island, the ex-Empress Eugene,
widow of the third Napoleon, is spend
ing the evening of her days. Her
home, Marlborough Hill, is so closely
hidden by trees that at no point can
the all-pervading tourist gain a
glimpse of the quiet gabled house. The
empress, a sad, white-haired woman,
almost crippled with rheumatism,
spends her time chiefly in prayer.
Close to her home she has built the
pure white mausoleum, with it, dome
and many spires, that can be seen
from all points of the country for
miles around. There black-robed
Benedictines pray constantly for the
good estate Of the souls of Napoleon
III. and the prince imperial. The
empress is too infirm nov to sit, as
she used to, in the sanctuary of the
great white church; mass is said, gen
orally by the prior, at her own house.
Under the church, in the crypt. are
two great sarcophagi in red granite,
covered with wreathes of immortelles

The Balloon Burst.

The most dreadful aeronautic posi-
ton, perhaps, which it is possible to
conceive is that described in Memoirs
OF Sir Claude de Crespigny." Burnaby,
a noted aeronaut, was making an as
cent from Cremorne with two French
men, one of whom was the inventor
of the balloon in use. When they
were about a mile and a half high, the
appalling discovery was made that the
neck of the aerostat, which should
have been left open to allow the gas to
escape, was still tied up with a silk
handkerchief. The balloon was now
quite full, and the atmospheric pres
sure was rapidly decreasing as the
aeronauts assembled, while the gas,
having no exit, continued to expand.
1t was impossible to get at the neck
and loosen the fatal handkerchief, and
to make disaster dOubly sure, the
valve-line was out of reach. The only
thing the men could do was to sit still
and await the bursting of the balloon
and the fatal dash to earth. Within a
few minutes the balloon burst, and
instantly began to rush earthward

m the production of the scarf-skin, or
horny layer. The scarf-skin soon be-
comes inordinately thick, and, the
pressure from the shoe continuing, is
pushed back against the enlarged pa
pillae, causing their final atrophy.
n formation of a corn affords a
curious illustration of the defeat of
natures well-meant efforts to prevent
trouble; for the increased thickness OF
the horny layer is intended to afford
protection to the enlarged and tender
papillae, a purpose which would be
well accomplished did the process stop
there. But the friction by the shoe
keeps up the irritation, and more and
more of the horny covering is manu-
featured, until, instead of affording
protection, it is actually the cause of
all the pain. After a time the spot
where the corn is seems to acquire a
bad habit, and the formation of the
corn will go On even after the Offend
ing shoe has been discarded. The first
thing to do for a corn is to get new
shoe that are SO snug as not to rub
the foot anywhere, and so loose as
not to make pressure in one spot more
than in another. The top of the corn
may be pared with a sharp knife, ex-
IRENE care being taken-especially in
the case Of the aged-not to cut the
sound skin; or it may be filed down to
the level Of the surrounding skin; or
the entire corn may sometimes be
loosened with a dull knife-blade or
by the fingernail, and extracted from
it's bed. When this cannot be done.
removal may be facilitated by moist
ening the corn every other day with
glacial acetic acid. the softened part
being subsequently scraped away with
a dull knife or a small file. A salve
containing salicycle acid, applied every
night, will also frequently loosen the
corn SO that it can be pulled out. This
is the basis of many of the popular
ORR plasters. A soft corn, which is
merely a corn that is always moist on
account of it's location on the inner
surface of one Of the toes. should be
treated by keeping a piece of absorbent
cotton between the toes so as to pre-
vent masceration, and by bathing il
frequently with strong alum water.

UNDERGROUND CHAMPAGNE.

Visitors to France may go out OF
their way to gaze upon the quaint
architecture and crumbling houses OF
Epernay, or the Roman antiquities and
grand old cathedral of Rheims, but the
real towns of Champagne are to be
looked for underground. These are
the bustling, busy places where the
business of Champagne is carried on.
They are of vast extent. American and
British workingmen would probably
not trouble themselves to obtain en-
ployment in underground Champagne.
Day after day the work-people leave
the outer world for eleven and twelve
hours at a time to discharge duties
which, if not particularly arduous,
must be wearisome by reason of their
monotony. An intelligent Frenchman
assured a writer in the Royal Maya
zine that he had worked below ground
for nearly forty-five years. His duties
consisted in shaking bottles to DIS
lodge the sediment. He said that he
had shaken ifty-five bottles a minute
during each working day of twelve
hours for these forty-fve years, and
then asked the writer to calculate how
many bottles he had shaken. 1t is no
great wonder that after a moments
consideration the visitor took to his
heels. Underground Champagne has a
reputation for producing good wines,
but according to the writer the bust
ness tends to our the dispositions OF
the workers. He found most Of them
taciturn not to say misanthropical. In
cellar at Epernay he came across
an old man who assured him that the
place was filed with ghosts and COB
Inns.
