WARTS
What This Ordinarily Trivial Annoyancs
Really Is.


AN ordinary wart is a local over
growth or hypertrophy of the paplllary
layer of the skin. 1t may be covered
on the Top with the epithellal layer.
whleh gives 1t smooth surface; or
the epithelium may fall away and
leave the separate strings showing at
tne point of the wart, like so many
brown or black seeds-whence the
name of seed wart.
Warts of this kind occur most COM
monty on the hands of children. They
are caused usually by the irritation of
the many sorts of dirt into which the
Youngsters hands are so constantly
plunged. 1t seems probable that warts
are slightly contagious, and that they
may be spread through a schoolful
of children by direct contact.
sometimes warts are quite broad
and fiat, of a smooth surface and yell
lowish in color. Such occur frequently
about the face and occasionally also
on the hands.
Another form of fiat wart may come
on the back in the aged. 1t is broad,
irregular in outline, with uneven
''seedy" surface, and sometimes cov-
cred with greasy scales.
Warts vary a good deal in color.
Some are indistinguishable in color
from the surrounding skin, while 9th
ers are pinkish, yellowish, brown, or
even quite black. The dark color may
be due to the deposit of pigment in the
body of the wart; but it is more often,
especially in children, simply dirt
which has been worked down between
the Seeds Soaking them in warm
soapsuds and scrubbing with the nail
brush will usually restore the natural
pinklsh color. Some warts are, how
ever, deeply pigmented, constituting
true moles. These are more common
on the skin of the chest, abdomen and
back.
A wart is usually a trivial thing,
but its removal Is nevertheless advis-
able. Its prominence above the sur
face exposes it constantly to slight in
1uries which may keep it in a painful
condition; 1t Is never an ornament,
and may be most unslghtly; and final
ly, in persons getting along in years,
1t may take on new growth and develop
into tumor.
In children warts come and go with
out apparent reason. and treatment is
often unnecessary but If they persist
for long time, or when they come on
the adult skin, 1t is better to get rid
of them. Sometimes soaking in warm
sea-water for ten minutes two or three
times a day will cause the warts to
disappear. This can be tried first, and
if 1t fails and application of salicylic
acid in collodion or touching the wart
with a drop Of glacial acetic acid ON
the end of match will SUFFICE

of the she'll, permitting the contents to
be removed with ease. The device
consists of two bands which are hinged
together at one side Each band is
made of spring metal or other .esillent
material. with the ends overlapping. so

band is also provided with spring
fingers to hold the egg, and with Il
spring arm on the side nnnosite the
hinge These spring arms terminate
in cutter blades, which pass through
slots in the bands. In use the two
bands are swung apart to admit the
egg, and then they are closed upon it,
The device is now held with a band
in each band. The spring arms are
pressed inward. making two incisions
in the sh-ll and then before releasing
the spring arms the bands are swung
apart, breaking open the shell. AS the
egg is being broken open it should be
inverted to permit the yolk to drop
into the glass and then the two parts
may be held in the hand as illustrated,
leaving the other hand free to remove
the white of the egg.-Scientlfic Ameri-

Didn't Care For Ornaments.

Joe Chandler Harris tells story of
meeting a man at breakfast in a New
Orleans hotel who was searching the
bill of fare for something he had never
eaten. He in some way decided that
wafiles were the item for him, and
from that time forth he kept the waiter
busy. The favor of the novel dish
appeared TO make hit with him, and
SO great was his power of consumption
that he had the waiter hustling from
table to kitchen and vice versa. In
deed, says Mr.. Harris. the wafiies
didn't come fast enough. Finally the
man called the waiter to his side, and
in confidential way made the fol-
lowing hopeful suggestion:
Say, bub. you might be able to
hustle them little cakes along some
faster If you would tell the cook to cut
out the printing on 'em. Tell him just
to send 'em along plain. ."-Woman's s

Periods of tho Moon.

The average time occupied by the
moon in moving in its orbit around the
earth is twenty-seven days seven hours
forty three minutes, its sidereal period.
The synodic period is the interval be-
tween successive new moons, and it is
n little longer, owing to the time, 365A
days, occupied by the earth in moving
around the sun. The moon performs
1-27 1-3 of its orbit and the earth
1861 each day, and therefore the
difference between these, 1-27 1-3 minus
1-365A equals 1-201a, is the daily frac-
ton of its path which the moon de-
scrlbes with respect to the sun; that
is, twenty-nine and one-half days
twenty mine days twelve hours forty
four minutes) is the synodic period. If
the plane of the moons orbit colncided
with that of the earth's equator the
moon would rise about fifty minutes
later each day, but the inclination of
these planes to one another varies be-
tween eighteen degrees and twenty nine
and one-half degrees, SO that this re-
tardation is different at different times.
When full moon occurs near the au-
tumnal equinox 1t may, in the latitude
of New York, be as small as twenty
three minutes, while further north ii
may reduce to nothing, so that for
several nights the full moon rises about
the same time, soon after sunset.

A spirit-FiIed Life.-John II. 1C, IL.
Herein is a mystery. Christ our
Lord through the Spirit, will dwell
with us. II Is more than mystery lr
hints at a truth which, If we could but
feel it's full significance, would change
our whole bearing toward life. So far
as we do feel It, the change is actual
ly wrought in us. In saving us Jesus
Christ has given lis new spiritual
life. That life is his own. Apart from
him we are as good as dead. II the
divine life is not in us. no life we
have can be of lasting value. however
much 1t may promise.
The great thing is that Christ is
willing we should receive his Spirit,
and live lin him." But there is some
thing for us 10 do. Whatever Is not
favorable would be out of harmony
with his Spirit, and must be put away.
Anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, evil
speech, lying these must go. We
must be willing that they should go.
eager TO get rid of them. They do not
abide in Christ's presence; If we sin
cerely invite him we shall sincerely let
go of them. And his presence viii
drive them away.
The life which Christ gives is to be
accepted as reality-not a religious
fancy. The Christian became a Chris
tian by complete surrender of his own
will and his own life; that surrender
must be made permanent. The Com
forter whom Christ sends must be well
coined as a sharer of all experiences
and all desires; all life's activities
must be in some way related to his
presence.
The insistence that Christian
should be like Christ is a good sign.
Book after book is written to empha-
size this thought, and sermon after
sermon sets up this likeness as a stan
dard for the Christian.
Two classes of people miss this
mark, and miss it in spite of their
honest desire to reach it. The first
class takes for its rule of life the
question, what would Jesus do?"
Life is squared by that straight edge.
1t means large sacrifice, much self
humbling. and failure at last. For.
however hard one may try. the attempt
to initiate Jesus Christ is a mechani-
cal and unfruitful struggle.
The second class sees the failure OF
the first, and is naturally discouraged.
''What use is it to try? You cannot
succeed. These people have tried hard
enough, and they are not succeeding"
Or perhaps there is some admixture of
unbelief. 'If that is all there is to
Christianity it is not worth the ef-
fort"
Tho great mistake in all these cases
is in not seeing that you cannot live
like Jesus Christ until the Spirit OF
Jesus Christ lives with you.

then closed by means of a plate of

very difficult to distinguish from the
genuine stone.
Every one is familiar with the pretty
strings of imitation pearls which can
now be purchased everywhere. These
are usually made of opalIne glass
treated carefully with hydroauoric
acid, and it would not occur to any
one to attempt to pass them off as
anything else. Very good limitations
of the genuine pearl are made from
mother-of-pearl also. This material is
turned to the required shape and pol.
ished beautifully, when it has an ap-
pearance very similar to that of the
genuine article, though an expert can
readily distinguish the imitation pearl
from the real one.
Ever since the seventeenth century
beautiful beads closely resembling the
finest Indian pearls have been manu-
factured. Glass beads of the REQUIRED
pattern are first made. They are then
coated inside with a material made
from fish scales and having the lustre
OF the genuine pearl. The beads are
then filled up with wax. These beau
tiful imitation pearls are by no means
cheap, however. This is not surprising.
when we learn that 1t takes 10000
fishes to yield one pound of the silvery
white material which is used to pro-
duce the necessary pearl-like lustre.

Christ's Life. |. Lessons from His
Boyhood.-Luke 2:4o-52.

Evidently Jesus parents were in
the habit of trusting Him. as they
went a days journey without worry
ing about His non-appearance.
The most important thing a child
can do is to listen well; the next
most important thing is to ask ques-
tions wisely.
child may be about Gods busi-
ness as well as a grown-up, since the
Oldest man is but a babe in Gods
eyes.
Is it any wonder that Christ was
obedient to His earthly parents,
since He came to earth in obedience
to His heavenly Father?
Though Jesus understanding and
answers" aroused wonder, note that
He was in the temple not as teach
er but as an eager learner.
The Junior society is making it
joy to the children to be in their
Fathers house, and about their
Fathers business.
Many parents fail to understand
their children, as Joseph and Mary
failed to understand Jesus. Mary's
remedy is the right one.-to brood
over them ''in the heart"
In all our dealings with children we
are far more likely to underrate their
capacity for spiritual truth than to
overrate it.
The church that does not care for
its children Is like farmer who left
his orchard alone till it was time for
fruit
The child that thinks to POSTPONE
his Fathers business till manhood Is
like an athlete that refuses to go into
training.
When gardners wish to obtain new
and fine varieties of flowers and
fruits, they begin with the selection
of the best seed and soil.
Strike a match, and the light goes
on endlessly. What are we to think
of the endless outreaches of a good
word spoken to a child?
What lesson has Christs boyhood
for me?
What am doing to bring children
to their Saviour?
Have ! the child heart in which
Christ cun live?
The modesty, the filial plety, the
perfectness of self-control content
ment in mechanical labor, conscious
sovereignty undisclosed,-al this is
In Itself wonder of divinity.--H. w.
Beecher.
Jesus Is the example for all who are
stepping from the careless immunities
of early childhood into the graver
region Of budding youth.
