1T appears from this examination OF
the cases that all Germany and Great
Britain can accomplish by means OF the
pacific blockade is to stop commerce
with Venezuela that Is carried on
through British and German vessels for

looks very much like biting of ones
nose to spite ones face, although as a
means of cutting off Castros supplies II
Is probably the best IL not the only thing
that can be done. II a custom house were

For many years on Cape Noir, the

light was seen, dancing and moving

ner. At n moment it would rise like
aIcolumn of fire into the air, and at an
other time it would fall like a meteor.
When it would seem to leap over the
point and drop into the sea, afterward
appearing again in the same spot on
the hillside. The habitants tell this
story about it.:
In the time Of the war for the pos
session Of Canada a French vessel,
pursued by an English warship,
steered it's course into the bay at this
point for refuge. A boat was lowered
from the side of the richly laden mer-
chairman, and in this thirteen men
swiftly rowed to the shore. Their OBJ
ject was to secrete a chest Of gold
which they had brought with them. On
reaching the point they drew lots to
see which of the men should remain
to guard the treasure. The M to
whom the lot fell was forced to swear
a solemn oath, by land and sea, by
night and day, by the ruler Of the
neither world, that he would be faithful
to the trust through life, unless re-
lieved by his returning comrades, and
even after death would haunt the spot
should no come to take his place,
says a writer in the Era -,
To secure the fulfllment Of this VOW
his wicked associates then and there
| put him to death and buried him with
the treasure. The ghostly light was
supposed to be the spirit of the mur
dered man, and many persons who
tempted by the hope of recovering the
treasure, ventured into the haunted
spot fled in terror and told blood
curdling stories of the horrible phan
toms and 'frightful sights which they
had witnessed. The light is seen nc
longer. Perhaps some ADVENTURE
holder than the rest succeeded in dis
covering the gold, carried it off and
thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit.

One Of the most remarkable women
was Christian Cavenagh, who lived in
England in the nineteenth century. She
was married and had three children.
Her husband was carried off to Hol-
land, where he had to enlist as a pri-
vate soldier. His wife dressed as a
man and enlisted so as to be heal her
husband. She was wounded at the bat

French and carried to st. Germain-en-

was exchanged. Then she quarreled
and fought a duel with her sergeant

ment. Again she was wounded at Ra-

TO CURE coRNs.

A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fitting shoes-high heels make the
pressure greater-by adding friction
we have a 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 60 b~arefooted, but since this is
not considered ethical in civilized life l.
will give a few simple remedies which
may be Of some value for the afflicted:
Z 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 be removed with a duh 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 well to wear shoes
which are neither too large MOI too
small so as to avoid excessive pressure
or friction.
Second.-In place of the linen a crust
Of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap-
piled. 40,
Third.-The best application is to
soak a 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 a bandage through the night.
After repeating this procedure a few
times the corn a 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 c~harge."-St

Retroactive Power of the Ruby.

The primitive form Of the spinel
ruby is like that of the diamond, eight
sided, which distinguishes it at once
from the oriental stone. The color of
the genuine ruby is that Of the arte.
rial blood, or pigeons blood, as it is
called. 1t is extremely hard and after
the sapphire is the hardest Of the
corundums. which renders it difficult
to understand why the earth SO rarely
gives it up. its tint is as beautiful by
artificial light al by day, and its pow
ers of reflection are so great that an
cient belief credited it with power of
emitting light. The ancients even sup.
posed that it would shine through
clothing with undiminished power.

With muscles drawn and throbbing
with pain, and joints swollen, stiff and
tender, the rheumatic PATIENTS as helpless
and dependent as though bound hand and

fering, such sharp, nerve-racking pains
as Rheumatism. and this unfeeling mon
ster, unless checked, brushes the strength

When the system becomes infected with
Uric Acid and other like poisons they are
absorbed into the blood and lodged in the
