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

Few Remedies. Cheap and Simple
and Involving No Danger.
When the feet are pressed into tight
fitting shoes-high heels make the
pressure greater--Ey adding friction
we have a needlelikc 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 so 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 Il piece of
cold, moist linen folded several times,
wrap it up in dry linen, then go to bed,
With this treatment the hard cpidcr
mis- swclls up. and after six or eight
hours the outer covering of the corn
can be removed with dull knife.
When this treatment has been followed
for three or four days, Il 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 gettin"
rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes
which are neither too large nor too
small so as to avoid excessive pressure
or friction.
Second.-ln place of the linen Il crust
of bread soaked in vinegar may be APP
piled.
Third.-Thc 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 Il bandage through the night.
| After repeating this procedure a 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.

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

For many years on Cape Nor. the
western point Of Maria. a strange
light was seen, dancing and moving
about in the most unaccountable man.

a column of fire into the air, and at an
other time 1t would fall like meteor.
Then 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 French vessel,
pursued by an English warship,
steered its course into the bay at this
point for refuge. 4 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 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
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 one come to take his place.
says a writer in the Era.
To secure the fulfillment 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 fled 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 name adventurer

Retroactive Power of the Ruby.

The primitive form OF the spinel
ruby is like that of the diamond, eight
sided. which distinguishes it ut once
from the oriental stone. The color of
the genuine ruby is that of the arte-
rial blood. or pigeons blood us 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.

"soohoo" Fever In Hawaii.

"Boohoo" fever has made It's appear
ance In Hawaii again. after an absence
OF nearly twenty years. Medical men
call 1t the .'dengue" fever. Or a mild
form Of Panama fever. 1t Is not dan
gerous. only disasreeable. and affects
the white people more than the natives.
In the olden days 1t used to be said that
nobody could claim to be a resident Of
Hawaii until he had experienced an at
tack OF ''boohoo." Its symptoms are
somewhat like those Of the grip-a
racking pain In the small Of the back.
high fever and pains In all the bones.
1t Is accompanied by a rash and lasts
for n week or ten days. Teachers AID
pupils in the public schools have sue
cumbed 20 the disease in large num-
bcrs. and even the doctors have pot
been exempt. Another name for the
sickness is "breakbOne" fever. because
the pains and achcs In the bones make
the patients feel rs II their bones
would break. The name "bOohoo" was
given to the fever because those who

DEEP SORROW IN LONDON.
Bstter For Macdonald to Die as He DID

London.-The tragic end Of Flight.
ing Mac" who rose from the position
Of a diapers assistant to m honored
General In the British Army. has
caused great surprise and deep sorrow
In London. The nature Of the offenses
with which he was charged had not be-
come generally known to the public.
but had been common gossip In mill.
tary circles, and although In the Army
and among his Highland comrades es.
pecially. there Is keen grief. their feel
ing Is that 1t was better to die thus
than face dishonor."
Sir Hector Macdonald was separated
from his wife many years Rgo. before
he obtained his commission. He had
not lived with her since. He leaves a
son. who is being educated IN an Eng.
lish public school.
Sir HectOr's great chance came when,
as q Sergeant In the Afghan campaign
Of 1S73-1SSO. with a small force. he.
by q furious bayonet charge. cleared
out q body of Afghans who were lying
In ambush for Lord Roberts. For this
feat Lord Roberts offered him the
choice Of the Victoria Cross or a COM
mission. He chose the latter. His
greatest military achievement was
leading the Black Soudanese Brigade
In the Soudan campaign against the
Khallfa.
The official announcement made by
the Governor of Ceylon in the Legis-
lature that General Macdonald would
be court.martIaled and the publicity
given to the affair were evidently the
determining motives for the suicide.
Macdonald's friends attribute the un.
fortunate business to his broken health

old. In the spring Of 1880 Mr.. May

died. Eis brothers investigated his
death, and charged Mrs. Maybr!ck
with The murder Of her husband. A
long trial followed. and a number Of
doctors swore Mr.. Maybrick died OF ar.
senicnl poisoning. The defense proved
that for twenty years Mr.. Maybrick
had been n confirmed arsenic eater. and
