TRIVIA, YER PsofENT.
The Tyranny of the Small and tho
HelpleSsness of Mankind.

The tyranny Of littlehess" is the
cruel despotism not Of one master, but
of MULTI !e of small ones. Witness
the ironclad sway which any sovereign
| ruler of the kitchen may WELD over q
helpless household. What happiness OF
misery is bestowed lightly by one who
turns a toaster OF brews a pot of cot
fee!
We are all slaves to milliners and
tailors. The milkman holds us helpless
in his clutches The chore man orders
us about. The maid of all work beck
ons, and We follow. We bow and
scrape before f1le naughty plumber.
We who would strike down mon
archs and measure swords with min
listers OF finance, what sorry figures
we cut in the community if sighted by
the laundrymen. We scarce can hole
our own against surly railway por-
ter, and it is but by the courtesy of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apartment. And who shall
vested in an offended waiter? We
cannot even mount trolley car if the
conductor and motorman choose to g-
more us
The man who rules the Stock Ex-
change cannot rest at night because an
infants voice banishes dreams. He is
victim to the insect world. Who
will abolish the tyranny of flies and of
mosquitoes?
Behold the tyranny of horses. dogs
and cats, to which the great majority
of mOrtals submit without murmur.
What master is as eXacting as tight
shoe or torturing collar? A parrot
or pet canary can sadly try mems
souls. Yes, things are in the saddle
and ride mankind"
Who will do justice to the tyranny
of the depraved inanlmate tasllmasters
A diamond necklace changes the his.
tory of empires. A courtiers cloak
may pave the way to royal favor. A
glove, a handkerchief, glass slipper,
what things to conjure with! Slaves
of the lamp! Slaves of the ring!
All, the supremacy Of trivial things,
that one real tyranny to which we all
bow down! Is there no hope that we
may some day throw off the heavy
yoke? Well Is it for us to mediate
upon this vital problem which touches
each so closely. And as we mediate
we may grow wise enough to break
some of the multitudinous shackels
that hold us spiritless and helpless in
the power Of the arch tyrant Little
Things" caroline Ticknor in Brandur
Magazine.

TO CURE CORNs.
A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger

a rev RemedfeS, cheap ana simple,
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fltA1ng shoes-high heels make the
pressure greater-by adding friction
we have needlelike point formed in
the skin, and the greater the pressure
the deeper the point will grow. The
best preventive remedy known is real
ly to go barefooted, but since this is
not considered ethical in civilized life
will give few simple remedies which
may be of some value for the afflicted:
First.-Place on the corn a piece Of
cold, moist linen folded several times
wrap it up in dry linen, then go to bed.
With this treatment the hard epider-
mis- swells up, and after six or eight
hours the outer covering Of the corn
can he removed with a dull knife
When this treatment has been followed
for three or four days, a small needle
like growth (the CORN can be extracted
without pain or bleeding. By washing
the feet often in cold water the tender
place will heal rapidly. After getting
rid of this corn it Is we'll to wear shoes
which are neither too large nor too
small so as to avoid excessive pressure
or friction.
Second.-In place of the linen crust
of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap-
piled.
Third.-The best application is to
soak whole onion twenty -four hours
In vinegar, then apply one Of the layers
Of the onion to the corn and keep it in
place by bandage through the night.
After repeating this procedure few
times the corn can be removed without
any trouble. BY either of these simple
applications this troublesome agent
can be removed without any danger of
blood poison and "free of charge. st.

with something to sell in great shape.
AT the present writing there have been a
number of life insurance agents here
who are anxious to provide for the future
of the widow and orphan of farmer or
city man. Two or three travelling doc
tors have been here in this vicinity,
wanting to guarantee to cure folks and
take their notes. But we glad to say
they had little if any business. Pretty
SOON the steel range man will drive up to
the farmers door and dump off a range
and insist that he take it. Then the gro
Gerry agent will want to sell a dollars 5
worth of staples and s. or So worth of
cheap spices at fancy price. But they
don't do much business in this section
Most of the farmers read and know tha
home folks are the best folks to do bus
iness with. And those who don't, have
been bitten and the poison is still in their
