A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple

A Few Remedies, Cheap and Simple,
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fitting shoes-high heels make the

the deeper the point will grow. The
best preventive remedy known is real
~ to 20 barefooted, 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:
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-

hours the outer covering of the corn
can be removed with a dull knife.
When this treatment has been followed
for three or four days, a small needle

which are neither too large nor 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.
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 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

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 as 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.

AN UNQUIET SPIRIT.
The Mysterious Light That For Years
Haunted Cape Noir.


For many years on Cape Nolr' the
western point Of Maria, a strange
light was seen, dancing and moving
about In the most uuaccOu1tAbIe man
ner. At one moment il would rise Ike
a column of fire into the air, ana at an
Bther tine it would fall Ike a meteor
Then it would seem TO leap over the
point and drop into the sea. atterWard

the hillside. The habirauts tell this
story about il:
In the time Of the war for the pos
session of Canada q French vessel,
pursued by an English warship,
steerel its course INFO the bay at this
point for refuge. A boat was lowered
from the side Of tie richly laden mer-
chairman. and in this thirteen men
swiftly rowed to the shore. Their OBJ
1ect was 10 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 one to
whom the lot fell was forced to swear
q solemn oath, bE 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-
ueved by his returning comrades, and
even after death would haunt the spot
should no one come to take his place.

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 muir
dered man, and many persons who,
tempted by the hope of recovering the
treasure, ventured into the haunted
spot fed in terror and told blood
curdling stories Of the horrible phan-
toms and frightful sights which they
had witnessed. The light is seen no
longer. Perhaps some adventurer
holder than the rest succeeded in dis
covering the gold, carried it off and
thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit.
